Salman Khan-produced Notebook goes on floors on Wednesday

After launching his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma in LoveYatri, which hit the screen last Friday, superstar Salman Khan has given the go-ahead to the team of his next production venture, Notebook, which introduces Zaheer Iqbal, the son of his childhood friend, and Pranutan, the granddaughter of classic Bollywood actress Nutan.

The team is set to start filming the project in Srinagar on Wednesday. The movie will be shot in a one and a half month long start-to-finish schedule. If a source close to the development is to be believed, newcomers Zaheer and Pranutan reached the valley 10 days ago to start their preparations with director Nitin Kakkar.


The source reveals that apart from Zaheer and Pranutan, five Kashmiri kids will also be part of the cast. “Five Kashmiri kids are part of the main cast and they too have been attending workshops with Kakkar. The shoot will wrap up by November-end and the songs will be shot in one go.”

Salman Khan may not visit the sets of the movie in Kashmir due to his tight schedule. “But he has spoken to both Zaheer and Pranutan before they left for the Valley. He was personally overseeing Zaheer’s training for the last few months and has given him the nickname Zahero,” adds the source.

Liam Neeson rejects anti-vax claims after documentary narration triggers wide backlash

Highlights:

  • Liam Neeson says he is not anti-vaccine
  • The film draws on a book by Judy Mikovits
  • Neeson’s representatives stress he did not shape the film’s content
  • Clips from the documentary promote fringe vaccine theories criticised by scientists
  • The actor has long backed global immunisation through his UNICEF

Liam Neeson has stepped into a storm not of his own making, pulled in by a vaccine debate tied to a documentary controversy he only narrates. The actor’s name is now attached to Plague of Corruption, a film built on claims that scientists and medical agencies have already challenged. His team says the link is misleading, stressing that Liam Neeson remains firmly pro-vaccine and did not shape a single line of the film’s message.
