“Theher Ja is a feel-good track. It talks about the emotion of love in a very simplistic manner which is why it will make it more relatable and appealing to the youth. This song is unlike the usual Bollywood romantic songs you hear and has a very European vibe to it and for that very reason it will stand out. This is my solo song and the music has been composed by Abhishek Arora and lyrics have been penned by Abhiruchi Chand. I have worked with Abhishek previously on a quite few jingles and Abhiruchi had written the lyrics for Buddhu Sa Mann (Kapoor & Sons) so there was a comfort level working with both of them,” says singer Armaan Malik.

The trailer of October starring Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu comes as a breath of fresh air amidst remakes, biopics, and high-octane action films. Varun Dhawan is seen as a sweet yet playful lad trying his luck to foray into the hospitality industry. He essays the character of a hotel management student, who is working in a five-star hotel as a trainee. Varun’s profession plays a very integral part to his character and environment in the film, which shapes up the events that follow.

Shoojit Sircar’s film starring Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhuis all about celebrating love, nature and the autumn season will release on April 13, 2018.

Filmmaker Aanand L Rai is happy the way his forthcoming project Zero is shaping up, and is specially pleased with Katrina Kaif who, he says, has added warmth to the film’s sets. Shah Rukh Khan, who stars in Zero as a vertically challenged man, has been posting pictures from the sets and once quipped how Katrina has become his and the film’s new social media manager.

Rai, who is working with Kaif for the first time, said it is wonderful to have her on the sets. “She is having a lot of fun doing this. Thanks to her and the entire set because the film is technically and emotionally so difficult it was important for certain kind of people to associate with it who would create an atmosphere like this on sets,” Rai told reporters.

“That’s what Katrina Kaif is doing. She keeps an atmosphere of friendship and fun on the sets…which is so nice of her and the entire team, to have this kind of atmosphere on sets, all around,” he said. The filmmaker is happy with the way the audience received the movie’s teaser earlier this year and is excited the way it is shaping up.

“The feedback is very nice but my attempt is to present to the audience what I am feeling in my heart, completely. With Shah Rukh sir, I am feeling I am achieving that. We are having so much fun while making the film, it is what I look out for, I am hoping we could present all of that on screen too,” he said.

Aanand L Rai said now his focus is to deliver a film which will surpass the audience’s expectations. “Wait a little bit more, I’ve almost reached a point where I can openly talk about Zero. Give me two months more, I’ll finish the shoot and have lots to tell you…I’ll try hard that the film delivers more than what it is promising you now,” he said. The filmmaker was speaking at a special screening of Ba Ba Black Sheep last night.

Days after launching her cosmetic brand, Sunny Leone to share beauty tips with fans via a new app

Sunny Leone

She is no longer just an actor, Sunny Leone has ventured into more businesses than one can imagine. Last week, she launched her cosmetic brand, Starstruck. We hear that she is set to launch an interactive app for make-up.

A source close to the actor claims that Leone came up with the idea a few days ago and is trying to figure out the working of this yet-untitled app. “She wants to teach youngsters innovative ways of dolling up, being festive ready and doing make-up for every occasion.” The actor is still at the planning stage and it would take her a few months before putting things into action. “The app will not only provide make-up tutorials, but also make it possible for users to Facetime with the star to discuss any make-up-related queries,” adds the source.

Leone, who is currently in Los Angeles with husband, Daniel Weber, daughter Nisha and twins Asher and Noah, for a shoot, explains that the venture is to help girls with make-up woes. “I had this plan in my mind for long. While buying make-up, we are always confused about the right colour for our skin type. It can be daunting to decide whether eye-liner should be applied or not. Every girl wants to look good when she steps out and this app will solve all their queries,” says the actor-entrepreneur.

Besides a cosmetic brand, Leone also owns a perfume and apparel brand and a production house along with her own app.

Ever since, Priyanka Chopra made it official that a Bollywood film is “happening” through an informal video chat with Ranveer Singh, speculations about her ‘comeback’ films have refused to rest. However, a report in Dna claims that it is Tiger Zinda Hai director, Ali Abbas Zafar’s film, Bharat, that will reunite the pair of Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra.

Bharat is produced by Salman Khan‘s brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri. If this works out, it will mark the reunion of Salman and Priyanka after a huge gap of 10 years.

Salman and Priyanka Chopra were cast opposite each other for the first time in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004). Since then, they have also worked in Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love (2007) and God Tussi Great Ho (2008).

“Priyanka has also worked with Ali in Gunday (2014) and shares a good rapport with him. This film will see the three of them collaborate for the first time,” informed the source to the daily, stating that desi girl shares a good rapport with Ali Abbas Zafar.

The publication also suggests that recently, Ali met Priyanka in New York where she was shooting for the next season of her international TV series Quantico. Bharat is expected to roll out mid-2018. The source further informed, “The fact that their Jodi is coming together after such a long time will surely be exciting news for their fans.”

There was also news of Priyanka Chopra doing astronaut Rakesh Sharma’s biopic alongside Aamir Khan, and both their fans were excited to see this first-time pair. However, Aamir opted out of the film and Shah Rukh Khan replaced him.

When the Baywatch actress was asked about it at one of the award shows, this is what she said, “I have finalised two-three scripts. Now, I am left to make announcements. Rakesh Sharma biopic was one of those scripts. I was approached for that film when Aamir was doing it… He is not in the film now. We were supposed to do it in 2019. Now, I don’t know.”

Shriya Saran with husband Andrei Koscheev

After repeatedly denying rumours of her marriage with long-time Russian boyfriend, Andrei Koscheev, the South and Bollywood actress, Shriya Saran finally tied the knot. Many pictures surfacing on the Internet suggest that the wedding took place in Udaipur. It was a very low-key affair with only Manoj Bajpayee and veteran Shabana Azmi in attendance at the duo’s wedding.

Also, a video has been circulating on social media, wherein, Andrei is seen narrating a romantic speech for Shriya Saran in Hindi. The Drishyam actress was really touched by this gesture and buried a peck on his lips. Andrei even elaborated the lines in English for the ones who are unaware of Hindi as a language.

Translating the Hindi speech he said, “If someone loves you, they love you the way you are. If someone asks you to change for love, that’s not love that’s compromise. In love, we do not compromise.”

The pretty bride was quick to ask him, “You are telling me you will accept all my madness,” to which he replied saying “Yes I will.”
She joked saying, “My friends thought I will change for once.”

After conveying she has changed a little, he said, “Because love is a huge work, work on yourself and her love makes me better every day.” Andrei is a national-level tennis player and the owner of a restaurant chain in Moscow.
