Actor Sanjay Dutt-starrer ‘Torbaaz’ is in pre-production and rest of the cast is yet to finalised, says its director Girish Malik.

According to reports, TV actress Ankita Lokhande has been signed for the film.

Priyanka ChopraPriyanka Chopra

Production has begun on Priyanka Chopra’s next Hollywood project after Baywatch and A Kid Like Jake, for which PeeCee is currently shooting in New York. The film titled, Isn’t It Romantic?, stars Rebel Wilson and Liam Hemsworth.

Yesterday, New Line Cinema announced the start of principal photography for the romantic comedy, being directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson.

Priyanka Chopra will be seen in the role of yoga ambassador while Wilson will play an architect from New York City, who works hard to get noticed at her job, but is more likely to be asked to deliver coffee and bagels than design skyscrapers. Hemsworth stars as a handsome client with Adam Devine as Wilson’s best friend.

Strauss-Schulson is directing the project from a screenplay by Erin Cardillo, Dana Fox, Katie Silberman, and Paula Pell. The film is set for a 2019 Valentine’s Day release.

But since it’s a few months away, Bebo wants to hold a meet-and-greet session with the cartoon figure when it comes to India.”

Kamal Haasan threatened for hosting 'Bigg Boss', fringe group demands actor's arrestKamal Haasan threatened for hosting ‘Bigg Boss’, fringe group demands actor’s arrest

The Hindu Makkal Katchi on Wednesday demanded ban on the Tamil version of reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ and wanted its host actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan to be arrested for tarnishing Tamil culture.

In its police complaint, the nationalist Hindu party demanded that the contestants of the show — such as Oviya, Namitha, Ganja Karuppu and Harathi among others — be arrested as well. 

They claim the show is obscene. 

“The participants are mouthing obscene statements and are acting 75 per cent nude. It is also derogative of Tamil culture and hurts the sentiments of seven crore Tamilians,” read the statement. 

“They should be arrested under law because they are hurting Tamil culture and the programme should be banned,” the statement added.

The show, which went on air June 25 on Star Vijay, marks the television debut of Kamal Haasan.

While taking up the role of the show’s host, Kamal Haasan had earlier said in a statement, “When ‘Bigg Boss‘ approached me to play the host, I funnily quipped, who better than me, right? All my life, I have been under a constant watch and have been judged on whatever I have done, public or private.”

“But now, the roles are reversed, as I would stand with the audiences and watch these celebrities in the house survive this ordeal,” he had added.

Barring a few selections, Katrina hasn’t tried to dress to impress while promoting her upcoming film, with her printed leggings being a slight let down.

Ranveer wonders what the fuss over his latest man clutch is all about.

It closely resembles Alia Bhatt’s Happy clutch gifted by mentor Karan, who isn’t shy to flaunt his man bag either.

If only Jackky could be reminded that man bags and school bags aren’t the same.

Unable to set her heart on a shade for her airport look, Mira Rajput picks out every one from her wardrobe. Spoilt for choices, may we say!

Tiger Shroff is in no mood to put in the toil to slip on his shoes. Slippers over his socks will suffice for the photographers, he decides.

It will be the first time that Akshay Kumarwill be featuring in a film with the ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ star Bhumi Pednekar. ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha‘ also marks Akshay and actor Anupam Kher’s 20th film together.

The film revolves around the need for toilets for sanitation in India and this message is conveyed through a love story in the film ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’.

In the last few years, Akshay Kumar’s image has undergone a transformation from that of an action star to one who chooses films which are socially relevant and delivers a message. ‘Special 26’, ‘Airlift’, ‘Baby’ and the upcoming ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ are cases in point.

There’s also ‘Pad Man‘ that Akshay Kumar is doing. The film is a biopic on the man who introduced affordable sanitary napkins for the benefit of women.

‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ will release on August 11.

Imtiaz Ali’s next movie ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal‘ — starringShah Rukh Khanand Anushka Sharma — has now been set for release on August 4, thereby averting a box office clash with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’.
