Sara Ali Khan psyched up about working with Aanand L Rai

Sara Ali Khan has some exciting projects in her hands right now. On one hand, she has the romantic film Love Aaj Kal set for its release on 14th February­. On the other hand, she is doing Coolie No. 1, an out-and-out comic-caper with Varun Dhawan. Recently, the actress added one more interesting project on her resume, titled Atrangi Re.

In a recent chat, Sara Ali Khan opened up about her role in the movie and her co-actors Akshay Kumar and Dhanush. "Honestly, when I read the script of Atrangi Re, I was not convinced I could do the film. The character is a tough one to pull off, and I want to do one hell of a job trying to prove otherwise. Akshay sir is someone I deeply admire, and Dhanush is a talented and understated actor. The idea is to work with diverse actors,” said the actress who began her acting career with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath (2018).

When asked about working with Aanand L Rai, Sara said that she likes the way the filmmaker portrays women authentically in his films. “Aanand sir depicts his women authentically, and that is what drew me to the film. Cinema is a director's medium. The filmmakers I work with are sensitive, but I don't involve myself in the writing at all,” she concluded.

Sara Ali Khan is presently busy promoting her immediate release Love Aaj Kal, helmed by Imtiaz Ali. The movie is a sequel to Ali’s 2009 film of the same name, which featured Sara’s father Saif Ali Khan opposite Deepika Padukone. Also starring Kartik Aaryan and Arushi Sharma in lead roles, the romantic film is slated to arrive in cinemas on 14th February, on the occasion of Valentines’ Day.

Forget plot twists – the real shock in ‘The White Lotus’ was the pay structure

The third season of The White Lotus may have just ended, but the buzz around the show isn’t just about plot twists or who didn’t survive the finale. It’s about money or more specifically, how everyone in the cast, from seasoned stars to first-time actors, gets paid exactly the same.

That’s right. Whether you’re a household name or a newcomer, once you’re cast in The White Lotus, your paycheque is identical to your co-stars’. Around $40,000 an episode so about £31,000 is what each cast member pockets, no matter how many awards they’ve won or followers they have online.

Tillotama Shome recalls a director telling her she'd "never earn that kind of money" and how she proved him wrong

There was a time when Tillotama Shome’s dream of owning a specific car was laughed off not by strangers, but by a director she worked with. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor, known for her strong, nuanced performances in films and shows like Paatal Lok, Delhi Crime, and Sir, recalled a moment early in her career that stung more than she expected.

During a casual chat at a wrap party, when someone asked the team what they were currently longing for, Tillotama mentioned a car she’d set her heart on. She believed that if she got the right project, paid well enough, she could afford it. That’s when the director, who had paid her poorly for the project, cut in and told her point-blank: “You’ll never make that kind of money. You’re talented, yes, but the industry doesn’t work that way.”

Leicester Square to honour Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in London's first ever Bollywood statue

A moment from one of Indian cinema’s most iconic love stories is set to find a permanent place in the heart of London. This spring, a bronze statue of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, captured mid-scene from the 1995 romantic classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), will be installed in Leicester Square. This marks the first time a Bollywood film is being honoured in the UK capital’s renowned ‘Scenes in the Square’ movie trail.

Unveiled as part of the lead-up to the film’s 30th anniversary in October 2025, the statue will stand outside the Odeon cinema, near the spot where the film’s lead characters, Raj and Simran, unknowingly crossed paths. That brief moment in Leicester Square becomes the starting point of their unforgettable journey through Europe and India, which later became a story that left an imprint on generations of fans.
