Though this week began on a slow note, as it proceeded we got lots of new developments as it went by. Right from the title of Shah Rukh Khan’s next starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif to Deepika Padukone’s Padmavati getting surrounded by controversies again to the news of Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja getting married in April this year, this week indeed was one to remember. Take a look at the newsmakers of the week that just went by.
Shah Rukh Khan announces name of his next
As promised, SRK announced the title of his dwarf film which also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif and is helmed by Aanand L Rai. The superstar announced that his next film is titled Zero and will release on December 21, 2018. Along with this, the makers also surprised fans with a one-minute teaser of the film where the superstar’s dwarf avatar is seen and trust us it was mind-blowing. After watching it, it sure looks like one of the most awaited films of the year. Rai while talking about the title of the film said, “I wanted to celebrate Zero, I wanted to celebrate the incompleteness in people. There is nothing great in being a complete person. There is a beauty to incompleteness. We all are humans and ‘Zero’ comes from there.”
Sonam Kapoor to marry Anand Ahuja
Sonam Kapoor has been seen spending a lot of time with businessman Anand Ahuja. Though the actress has never spoken about her relationship with Ahuja, his presence at various family get-togethers and holidays and posts of social media did hint that the two are indeed in love. Sonam and Anand have been seeing each other for almost two years. According to the latest buzz, Sonam is all set to marry Anand in Jodhpur this April. The couple’s wedding is going to be an intimate affair with 300-400 guests in attendance. We are super happy to hear about one more marriage in tinsel town. What about you?
Padmavati in trouble again
It was only last week that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much talked about Padmavati got a clearance from the CBFC. While we were optimistic about the film releasing in February, there is fresh trouble for the Deepika Padukone starrer once again. The Rajput Karni Sena has started countrywide protests against the film once again. In addition to this, the Rajput Karni Sena has also demanded the resignation of I&B minister Smriti Irani, politician Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, and CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi.
Andhra youth claims Aishwarya Rai is his mom
According to Sangeeth Kumar, who hails from Vishakhapatnam, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is his mother and he was born to her in 1988 through IVF in London. Now isn’t that the most bizarre thing you heard this week? While talking to the media he said, “I was born to her by IVF in London in 1988. I was brought up in Chodavaram from age three to 27. I was with my grandmother Brinda Krishnaraj Rai’s family at the age of one and two in Mumbai.” He also added that Ash has separated from Abhishek Bachchan and is living alone now.
Sanjay Dutt Biopic Postponed
Ranbir Kapoor’s much-awaited next, a biopic on Sanjay Dutt was to release in March 2018. However, makers have decided to release it at a later date and locked June 29, 2018 for the same. The makers changed this after changing the release date of Baaghi to March 30. The Tiger Shroff – Disha Patani was to earlier release on April 27 alongside Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika. Had the Dutt biopic released on its earlier date, it would have clashed with the production studios’ own film Baaghi 2 which is why the date was changed. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor, the much talked about Rajkumar Hirani film also stars Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza and Paresh Rawal in important roles.
