Rishi Kapoor all set to start shooting for his next film

Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer last year and he had flown down to New York for the treatment. After spending 11 months there, he came back to Mumbai in September this year, and now, he is all set to start the shooting for his next film.

Last year, an untitled film with Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla was announced and the shooting of the film had also kickstarted. But due to the actor’s health, the shooting was stalled. According to a report in a tabloid, the movie, which will be directed by debutant Hitesh Bhatia, will start rolling on 5th December 2019.


A source told the tabloid, “Hitesh’s film is currently under pre-production. It will be shot from scratch and goes on the floors in Mumbai on Thursday. This will be followed by a month-long schedule in Delhi in January.”

Well, Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla have worked together in many films like Bol Radha Bol, Saajan Ka Ghar, Daraar, Luck By Chance and others. The two were last seen together in Chalk N Duster in which Rishi Kapoor had a cameo. It will surely be interesting to watch them together on the big screen again.

Meanwhile, Rishi Kapoor will be seen on the big screen in The Body which is slated to release on 13th December 2019. The movie also stars Emraan Hashmi and Sobhita Dhulipala. It is directed by Jeethu Joseph and is a remake of a Spanish film with the same name. The Body will be clashing with Rani Mukerji starrer Mardaani 2.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘banana’ joke on Trisha sparks backlash, internet split over offensive humour

During a recent event for the upcoming film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan’s casual remark aimed at co-star Trisha Krishnan stirred more than just laughter. What was likely meant as a light-hearted moment has now triggered debate across social media, with opinions split on whether the joke crossed a line.

It happened during a promotional interview when Trisha was asked about her favourite food. She mentioned a boiled banana dish but struggled to recall its original name, ‘pazham pori’ or banana fritters. Kamal jumped in with a quip: “She doesn’t know the name but likes putting it in her mouth,” followed by a pat on her knee. Trisha laughed it off in the moment, but the clip quickly made its way online and not everyone was amused.

Saif Ali Khan buys luxury island home in Qatar just 3 months after knife attack

After a brutal home invasion in January left him injured and shaken, Saif Ali Khan has made a significant change; he’s bought a holiday home in Qatar. The new property, located on the luxurious St Regis Marsa Arabia Island at The Pearl in Doha, isn’t just about real estate for Saif but about finding a sense of calm and comfort after a turbulent start to the year.

At a recent press event hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif opened up about what led to the purchase. While in Doha for work, he stayed at the property and found himself drawn to the overall experience. “It just felt right,” he said. The privacy, the well-designed spaces, the food, and the general pace of life all played a part in his decision. But more than anything, it was the feeling of safety that mattered most.
