The lucky lady to receive this was none other than the vivacious Kareena Kapoor Khan. Going by her effortless authenticity in everything she does, the letter is intriguing as she makes refreshing notes she has to make the popular icon.

The letter reads:

Tum ho mere liye ek inspiration

aliaSpeaking about her love to play a negative role, the actress in a conversation with film critics Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand in their podcast show titled as Take 2, said that, “I’m dying to play a villain! I would love to play a villain. Gone Girl is totally me! When I saw Gone Girl I was like please can somebody make this film for me. I called up my friend Abhishek and said listen can you please forget what you’re writing just write this gone girl and make it right now! It’s a killer part. How amazing is it to play something that is so completely off, we only can do it in the movies.”

alia_deepikaThe young actress Alia Bhatt is one talent powerhouse. Ever since she debuted in Student of the year there is no looking back for Alia, all thanks to her commendable acting skills.

In the Bollywood industry, you’ll find it very rare that an actress is seen complementing another actress. Alia Bhatt in a recent interview with Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand on their podcast show, Take 2 was all praises for actress Deepika Padukone.

Expressing her admiration for Deepika, Alia said, “I’ve not seen the performance yet but I saw the Padmavati trailer I think Deepika in Padmavati looked so fabulous and I know I can never look like that or act like that. She just looks like a Queen and I told her also ‘you are so lovely and so inspiring’ and I just know she is going to nail it in that film I just get that sense. I’m really looking forward to this one”.

We all agree to Alia, going by the posters seems like Deepika has done an amazing work in the film. Her recently released song Ghoomar has taken the internet by surprise while she performs some perfect ghoomar moves.
Meanwhile, Alia has completed 5 sweet years in the industry and is currently shooting for Raazi which is scheduled to release next year.

It’s not only Alia but almost everyone is anticipating the release of Padmavati. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial will hit the theaters on 1st December.

‘Kuch kuch hota hai Rahul, tum nahi samjhoge’, gives us goosebumps till today. The love, the passion, the aura that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol create together is iconic. And what makes their on-screen chemistry even more special is Karan Johar’s touch, as the ace director filmmaker knows all the right spots to bring out the best from them on camera.

The earlier feud between Karan and Kajol broke many hearts; after all, they were besties. But the duo has patched up and we could not be happier. And if reports are to be believed, KJO and Kajol have even sealed a deal over a film. We are flying already!

Talking to a leading daily, a source close to Dharma Production revealed that Kajol is definitely part of his next project. Not many know this, but since the start of his career, KJO made a promise to himself that she will be a part of all his films.

However, that pact was broken when ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ was released and sure we saw SRK, but no sign of our beloved Kajol. But now that all is well between the two, get ready to see Kajol in Karan’s next.

Adding more to our excitement is the fact that King Khan will be seen opposite Kajol, at least that’s what the director plans to do.

This film will also feature Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Here is hoping the movie hits us hard like the Titanic and brings back the 90’s feels!

Karan Johar announced a sequel to Student Of The Year (2012) over a year ago. To be helmed by Punit Malhotra, it stars Tiger Shroff.

In the last few days, KJo has been making announcements galore about his upcoming productions, which include Brahmastra with Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan and Kesari with Akshay Kumar. There has been silence on the Student Of The Year 2 front.

It was said that Punit was reworking the script. Names of several star kids like Jahnvi Kapoor did the rounds, besides Tiger’s rumoured girlfriend Disha Patani as probable female actors. Nothing moved on the front and now there’s buzz that it has been put on the backburner.

The Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan just turned 75 and when you are a legendary actor like he is, there is no gift more special than your next project coming into the limelight. And Karan Johar probably gave Big B the most special gift this year by making an announcement that took the world by storm.

A few weeks earlier, reports about Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor being roped in for a movie were doing the rounds and that news was enough to make their fans go frantic as they awaited more details about the project. Apparently, the movie was titled ‘Dragon’ which pretty much gave away the fact that it would have something to do with adventure or fantasy.

In conversation with Ranbir and Alia at an event earlier this month, Karan Johar had hinted at another big star also being a part of the project and that the film won’t be titled Dragon. Without giving more details, he only said that an official announcement would be made soon.

So fortunately enough, in order to put all rumors to rest, Karan Johar took to his Twitter account on Big B’s birthday, to reveal that Dharma Producations’ upcoming project would not only star the two youngsters but also Senior Bachchan in the lead. No wonder they regard it as “one of its most ambitious films”.

He also revealed the film’s title – ‘BRAHMÄ€STRA’and the genre of the film which is fantasy adventure. Since Bollywood does not have an upper hand when it comes to fantasy or adventure films as compared to Hollywood, it will be interesting to see how this rare Bollywood trilogy fares on the silver screen.

Later, Alia Bhatt also took to her Twitter to express her excitement. She wrote, “Can’t wait for this one! #BRAHMASTRA” and all we could think of was how mutual our feelings our about this upcoming film!

The movie will have Ayan Mukherji behind the director’s wheel. Since Ayan has previously directed blockbusters like ‘Wake Up Sid’ and ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, the expectations are riding at an all-time high.

A few days ago, reports about Ranbir Kapoor undergoing training in horse-riding and gymnastics for the film surfaced. Ayan addressed these reports in an interview and said, “There is a lot of action in ‘Dragon’, so there is a lot of training, like gymnastics kind of training, horse-riding, fighting and lot of physical stuff that Ranbir will have to do. And then there is internal work, like to get the spirit of the character right. Ranbir has to observe the flavour of the film and communicate it with the audience. We are trying to imagine things, this world, and work accordingly.” He further added, “In its core, it has romance as an element but it has got a new flavour to it. With every film, I am trying to evolve and grow.”

The only bad thing about this whole announcement is that the movie is slated for release in 2019 (15th August to be precise). Honestly, 2019 seems extremely far right now and we absolutely cannot wait for the first part of this trilogy it to hit the theatres. First day, first show? You bet!
