Priyanka Chopra and Vishal Bhardwaj to reunite

Priyanka Chopra and Vishal Bhardwaj have worked together on two memorable films – Kaminey (2009) and 7 Khoon Maaf. And if you wished to see their third collaboration, your wish is fulfilled.

Amid rumours of writing on a film based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Bhardwaj has confirmed that he is teaming up with the talented actress once again. The film is expected to go on the floors next year.


“Priyanka also wants to work with me. And we are working with each other. Hopefully, we will start the film next year,” the filmmaker said at the song launch of his upcoming directorial venture Pataakha.

Vishal Bhardwaj was also set to direct Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in a film, but the project is currently on hold due to Khan’s health. When asked about the film’s status, the director said, “I don’t know about the film’s status. I can tell you my heart’s status and it is that we all are praying for him. Obviously, I’m missing him as a friend but also as an audience. I want to see him on screen again, whether it’s my film or someone else’s.”

Starring Sanya Malhotra, Radhika Madan and Sunil Grover, Pataakha releases on 28th September.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
