Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon team up for a comedy film

Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon were earlier seen together in 2017 release Bareilly Ki Barfi. The film was a hit at the box office and Rajkummar and Kriti’s pairing was liked by the audience. Now, the two are all set to work together for the second time in an untitled comedy film which will be produced by Dinesh Vijan.

Maddock Films took to Instagram to announce the film. They posted, #DineshVijan is ready to tickle your funny bones in our next! The shoot for this laughter riot begins next month, in Delhi. @rajkummar_rao @kritisanon #DimpleKapadia #PareshRawal @cinemanabhishek.”


The movie also stars Dimple Kapadia and Paresh Rawal and will revolve around a young couple who decides to adopt parents. Yes, we have seen many films where parents adopt kids, but this will be for the first time when in a movie we will get to see that the kids are adopting parents. Well, the concept of the film already sounds very interesting.

While talking to a tabloid, Dinesh Vijan revealed that he was planning a film with Rajkummar and Kriti, but it didn’t materialise and then he narrated them this concept. He said, “That project wasn’t working out, so, one day, over a cup of coffee, I sketched out this idea to them and they jumped at it. Raj and Kriti came on board even before the script was written.”

The movie will be directed by Abhishek Jain who has earlier helmed Gujarati films like Kevi Rite Jaish and Bey Yaar. Talking about roping in Jain, Vijan said, “It’s always been our policy to back new directors, be it Amar Kaushik who gave us Stree and Bala, Laxman Utekar who came good with Luka Chuppi and is currently directing Mimi, and Hardik Mehta who will keep you engaged in Roohi Afzana. With Abhishek at the helm, we are looking forward to a roller-coaster ride that children and parents can watch together.”

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with S S Rajamouli film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, alongside Mahesh Babu, following the monumental success of RRR. Rajamouli’s next project, with a budget exceeding Rs. 1000 crore, is expected to be a massive cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting the fresh pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

While excitement builds around the film's grand scale, another major talking point is Priyanka Chopra's reported remuneration for the project. The actress, known for her global appeal, is said to be charging a hefty Rs. 30 crore for SSMB29, making her the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry. This has reportedly pushed Deepika Padukone, who was previously the highest-paid with a salary of Rs. 15 to 20 crore per film, into second place. Priyanka’s fee has surpassed Deepika’s by a significant margin.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
