While there is no update on what Shah Rukh Khan is doing after the dismal performance of his last release Zero (2018), the news is coming in that the superstar might put up a special appearance in actor R. Madhavan's directorial debut.

Titled Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, the film is a biopic based on the life of former scientist and aerospace engineer Nambi Narayanan. The trilingual movie will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and English in the second half of the year.

As mentioned earlier, the big-ticket movie revolves around the life of Nambi Narayanan who was falsely charged with espionage followed by his arrest in 1994. However, two years after his arrest, all the charges against him were dismissed by the CBI and he was declared not guilty by the Supreme Court.

Not only Shah Rukh Khan, but Tamil actor Suriya will also be making a special appearance in the Hindi and Tamil versions of Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

An official announcement is expected to be made soon.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
