Will Indoo Ki Jawani be the first film to hit the big screens once theatres reopen in India?

In a lot of countries, the theatres have been reopened, but in India, the government is yet to decide when the cinema halls will start functioning again. While many filmmakers have decided to release their films on the OTT platforms, there are filmmakers who are waiting for the theatres to reopen.

Recently, the makers of Kiara Advani starrer Indoo Ki Jawani started the promotions of the film on social media. They shared a video in which Indoo (Kiara) is introducing herself. Yesterday, Kiara posted on Instagram, “Main toh time se aa jaungi, date ke liye aap late mat hona! ? Wait just a little more to meet Indoo! #IndooKiJawani.”


Today, the makers revealed that tomorrow they will be releasing the first song of the film titled Hasina Pagal Deewani. And well, according to the reports in Bollywood Hungama, Indoo Ki Jawani might be the first film to hit the big screens once the theatres reopen in India.

A source told the portal, “The cinema halls have been opened in many countries and new films have already begun to be released. Exhibitors here in India were hoping that they’ll get a chance to resume operations in September. However, that didn’t happen. Their status is very dire and the government has taken note. In most probability, the theatres will open in October. And Indoo Ki Jawani makers want to take advantage of this period. The competition will be negligible. With the film being one of the first or probably the first one to release, it can get a lot of footfalls considering that there’s a huge pent-up demand among the audiences.”

“It depends only if cinemas are allowed to open in most regions of the country. Or else, the producers will think of an alternate plan,” added the source.

Recently, when producer Nikkhil Advani was asked about the film’s release plan, he told Mumbai Mirror, “We are committed to making films for the big screen.”

Well, let’ wait and watch whether we will get to see Indoo Ki Jawani on the big screen or it will also get a direct-to-digital release.

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.
