MUMBAI: During the latest episode of the ‘Raising Parents with Mansi Zaveri’ podcast, Kareena Kapoor Khan, the mother of two children, has urged people to not make a taboo of late pregnancy.

“I never planned having a baby because you know I was like in 36 or Oh my biological clock is ticking so I need to speed it up or whatever. That was not even a thought or discussion because I was like I married Saif for love. I did that. I wanted to have a child so I did it. It so happened. I didn’t give much thought because my thought was always on my work and you know being happy and content with myself. So I don’t think late mothers should have this pressure,” said Kareena.

Kareena was 36 when she welcomed her first child Taimur with Saif Ali Khan in 2016. After five years, in February 2021, she turned mother again as she gave birth to her son Jeh.

WASHINGTON: Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar will not only be seen together in ‘Badhaai Do’ but will also share screen space in ‘Bheed’.

Helmed by Anubhav Sinha, ‘Bheed’ is touted as a socio-political drama, which will be shot across Lucknow. Happy to come on board for the film, Bhumi said, “Being part of an Anubhav Sinha film is a matter of great honour and privilege. He shares my value system in believing that movies have the power to shift mindsets. As artists, the responsibility of telling such stories lies with us. This is a crackling subject and I can’t wait to get on to the journey of this film.”

The movie’s announcement was made earlier this month, revealing Rajkummar as the lead. He had also expressed his joy on bagging ‘Bheed’. “I have always found myself gravitating towards stories that trigger conversation. Even as an entertainer, I want my work to get people thinking. This is an important subject and the character needs me to stretch myself as an artist, beyond my comfort zone. I can’t wait to start shooting and lose myself in this universe,” Rajkummar had said.

‘Bheed’ is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Anubhav’s Benaras Mediaworks.

MUMBAI: Ayushmann Khurrana, who is known for choosing movies with social messages and serious takeaways, recently teased viewers by saying that they should “expect the unexpected” from his next four films.

Ayushmann’s stellar line-up includes Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’, Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Anek’, Anubhuti Kashyap’s ‘Doctor G’ and filmmaker Aanand L. Rai’s next production venture ‘Action Hero’, which is being helmed by debutant Anirudh Iyer. Speaking about his stellar slate of disruptive projects, Ayushmann said, “It is hugely exciting for me to collaborate with some master storytellers who have some disruptive stories to tell and inspire audiences with. I want to tell audiences to expect the unexpected from my next four films.”

He added, “I have been fortunate enough to get some remarkable scripts ever since my debut and be part of incredible visions of powerful filmmakers wanting to make a difference to society. The storytellers of these films have some brilliant concepts that people haven’t seen on screen before and that’s what makes them really special for me.”

Ayushmann considers himself an entertainer who is looking to deliver a positive message to society through his films. The actor wrapped up the filming of ‘Doctor G’ in September. The upcoming movie, which also stars Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah in key roles, will be based on a campus of a medical institute.

MUMBAI: Ahead of the release of his horror film ‘Dybbuk’, Emraan Hashmi opened up about his connection with the particular genre. “I feel I have a parallel love story with this genre. I personally like horror films and hence starring in ‘Raaz 2’ and ‘Ek thi Dayaan’ was like a dream come true for me. A wave of horror films will always be there in the industry and Horror should be consumed like this (‘Dybbuk’),” he said. Emraan also urged filmmakers and actors to come forward to create more horror films in the industry.

“I feel yet in our country and industry, this genre hasn’t been completely explored yet. Not many films are made. I really wish more and more stars come forward to do horror films. Also because I know the success ratio of this genre is a lot more,” he added.

Talking about ‘Dybbuk’, the film also stars Nikita Dutta and Manav Kaul in prominent roles and is all set to release on 29 October on Amazon Prime Video.
