Director Ayan Mukerji said in an interview that work on future Brahmastra films will start after the first part is released. The first film in the planned fantasy trilogy will be released on September 9 under the title Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva.

Some even claimed to have seen the cameos of actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. It is rumored that the second part of the series will focus on Deepika’s overpowered character. ”
Ever since Karan Johar announced that the new season of his celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan would stream on Disney+ Hotstar, fans have been waiting for Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to star on the show. However, now Karan has revealed that Ranbir will not be coming to the show at all. Ranbir stated: “I love you and I will meet you at your house and talk to you. You give me coffee at home. But please, I’m not coming for the show.” Koffee With Karan Season 7 is reportedly due out on OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar in July.
“Next up is R Madhavan, who makes his directorial debut with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. In a making video, Madhavan revealed that he had to revise his entire script. He shared that after working on the script for seven months, he showed the script to Narayanan for final approval. While Narayanan was impressed by the actor-director’s attention to detail, there was a lot more to his story than what Madhavan found out.
Narayanan revealed that he was the first Indian scientist to enter an Ivy League university at Princeton. The actor-director said that after that conversation, he could see his “script being torn to pieces” and it took him “another year and a half to put the entire script back together.”
“On the other hand, Sonam Kapoor is in celebration mode. The actress, who is expecting her first baby with husband Anand Ahuja, recently hosted a baby shower. The couple recently returned from their Italian babymoon and also celebrated Sonam’s birthday in Paris with Rhea Kapoor and her husband Karan Boolani.
The mum-to-be is enjoying her third trimester and has her sister Rhea by her side in London. Aesthetic decor, personal touches and beautiful flowers, Sonam’s baby shower had it all. The couple invited some friends over for lunch and the decor was nothing short of a fairy tale. The stunning mom-to-be donned a pink halterneck maxi dress for her baby shower. ”
“Esha Deol recently shared with fans a series of photos where she can be seen with mother Hema Malini. The actress shared with her fans that she is on a trip with her mother. Tagging the legendary actor, Esha Deol wrote: ‘Just an all girls trip! My mum on holiday with us.”
The photo shows Esha in a white dress while Hema Malini wore jeans with a white top. The two looked perfect in the photos and seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. This is their first trip together after Dharmendra was hospitalized earlier this year.
As soon as she dropped the picture, fans praised the mother-daughter duo.”
Varun Dhawan, who is currently involved in Jugjugg Jeeyo’s promotions, recently shared that he would like to work with SS Rajamouli. In an interview, Varun said that the RRR director is at the top of his list when it comes to working with an Indian director. He told Pinkvilla: “Of all the Indian directors, Rajamouli tops the list. Then there are as many as Surinder Reddy is great, the director who made F3 (Anil Ravipudi) has great comedy. The director of Pushpa (Sukumar) is amazing.” Varun Dhawan also spoke about his upcoming films Bhediya and Bawaal.
By now we all know that Suchitra played Krishnamoorthi as the girl next door in Kundan Shah’s Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, her innocence making the audience fall in love with her. Decades have passed since the release of this Shah Rukh Khan film but Suchitra’s fans still remember her as Anna. In a recent interview, Suchitra shared that she gave up acting in those early years because her then-husband, director Shekhar Kapur, did not support her career. She explained: “People appreciate me so much and I’ve always treated myself so casually and didn’t give myself that importance. I’ve always undermined myself, underestimated myself.”
Finally, after Samrat Prithviraj, Akshay Kumar has already started preparations for his next movie release. The superstar recently took to his social media platforms to announce the release date of Raksha Bandhan. Taking to Instagram, Akshay wrote: “Bringing you all a story of the purest form of connection that will remind you of yours! #RakshaBandhan hits theaters on August 11, 2022.” Written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon, the film is about the brother-sister bond.
