Nupur Sanon to pair opposite Akshay Kumar in Bell Bottom?

Akshay Kumar, one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood, recently made his music video debut with T-Series’ Filhaal. The single went on to clock millions of digital views in no time and became one of the most successful music videos of all times. In addition to its soulful music and meaningful lyrics, what stood out most in the single was Kumar’s sizzling pairing with newcomer Nupur Sanon.

The latest we hear about Nupur is that she has just signed a high-profile film to make her Bollywood debut. Yes, you heard that right! According to reports, the newcomer has been finalized to play the female lead in an upcoming Hindi film called Bell Bottom. Interestingly, the film stars none other than Akshay Kumar in the lead role.

Earlier, actress Mrunal Thakur’s name was being linked to the big-ticket film. However, a source close to the development informs an entertainment portal that reports about Mrunal Thakur being in consideration for the lead role were mere rumours and that Nupur Sanon has been locked to play the female part.

"While there have been talks about Mrunal Thakur being approached for Bell Bottom, the reports are mere rumours. She was never even approached for the role. In fact, Nupur Sanon has already been finalised to play the role which is said to be a significant one. Her look test is already done and with Filhall being loved so much, this seems like an exciting time for her to foray into showbiz. Nupur has already been prepping herself for the big break,” informs the source. The source further adds that Nupur will play the role of Akshay Kumar’s wife and it will be a strong character. 

Bell Bottom was earlier scheduled to release in January 2021. However, Kumar postponed it to April 2021. The superstar will shortly be seen in Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited cop drama Sooryavanshi, slated to release on 27th March, 2020.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
