Sonakshi Sinha wraps up filming her upcoming horror-comedy Kakuda

Sonakshi Sinha, who was most recently seen in filmmaker Abhishek Dudhaiya’s war film Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021), has wrapped up shooting for one of her upcoming films Kakuda. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of RSVP Movies, the horror-comedy film also stars actors Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem in lead roles.

Kakuda marks the Hindi directorial debut of filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, the man behind helming such critically acclaimed Marathi films as Classmates (2015), Faster Fene (2017), and Mauli (2018).


The team started shooting for the film on July 20 and wrapped up filming on September 17. Sinha, who headlines a horror-comedy film for the first time in her career, took to social media to share the news and penned a heartfelt note thanking the entire cast and crew for being absolute troopers who kept going despite all the obstacles that came their way.

“And it’s a wrap on Kakuda! My first horror comedy and what a ride it’s been… beating Covid, beating the rains, hectic night shifts, a roller coaster really… but what’s important is those smiles on our faces! Thank you to the entire team (a lot of them missing from this picture) for being absolute troopers! See you at the movies,” she wrote on Instagram along with sharing a picture with the cast and crew.

Talking about the film, Sinha had earlier said, “Considering the current situation, a fun comedy film is truly the need of the hour. I loved the script of Kakuda from the moment I read it. It's the kind of movie I would enjoy watching as an audience.”

There is no update on the character that the actress essays in the film. But as per reports, Deshmukh will be seen playing the role of a ghostbuster. Written by the talented duo Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg, Kakuda is scheduled to release digitally in 2022.

Aimee Lou Wood criticises SNL’s ‘White Potus’ parody for mocking her teeth

Aimee Lou Wood, star of The White Lotus, recently found herself at the centre of controversy after a parody of her character aired on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The skit, a political spoof titled The White Potus, humorously exaggerated aspects of the show, but for Wood, it went too far. Comedian Sarah Sherman impersonated Wood's character, Chelsea, with oversized prosthetic teeth. For Aimee Lou, this portrayal hit a nerve, and she openly criticised it.

Taking to Instagram, the actress expressed her discontent, calling the parody “mean and unfunny.” She argued that while she understood SNL was known for satire, the skit could have been executed with more sophistication and less cheap humour. Wood, who has always been open about her unique appearance, especially her noticeable gap teeth, clarified that she doesn't mind caricatures or playful jabs, but felt this one crossed a line. “I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth,” she wrote, pointing out that the entire joke seemed to target her appearance rather than the content of the skit.

Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King soar to space in a historic all-women Blue Origin flight

On Monday morning, six women including pop icon Katy Perry boarded a Blue Origin rocket in West Texas and took off on a short flight to space. The crew spent just over 10 minutes on the journey, experiencing those minutes of weightlessness before they safely returned to Earth.

What made this flight stand out, though, wasn’t just the celebrity presence. This was the first time in over six decades that an all-women team flew to space together. The last time anything close happened was in 1963, when Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to orbit Earth, alone, on a Soviet mission.
