“Let’s begin with news on Hera Pheri 3.
After Paresh Rawal tweeted that Hera Pheri 3 will star Kartik Aaryan, the franchise’s original star Akshay Kumar has confirmed that he will not be a part of the film. Akshay stated that the reason for his decision came amid some creative differences with the makers.
At the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Akshay said, “The film was offered to me and I was told about it. But the screenplay, script and everything, I was not satisfied, not happy with it. I have to do what people want to see and that is why I backed out, I took a step behind. For me, it’s a part of me, my life, my journey, in a huge way.”””
“Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon graced Salman Khan’s show Bigg Boss 16 to promote their upcoming film Bhediya. Amid all the fun games and amusing banter, Salman dropped a bomb when he subtly questioned Varun about his plans for fatherhood.
Varun received a Tiger soft toy when Salman was playing a game with the Bhediya actors in which they had to identify the song based on the prop they touched. Salman handed the soft toy to Varun and said, “This is for your child.” Varun quickly replied, “I don’t have a kid yet.” Salman then added, “If the toy has come then the child too will come”
Varun married Natasha Dalal in an intimate ceremony in 2021.

“Actor Ram Charan spoke candidly about the film RRR and discussed how the famous opening scene took 35 days to shoot. He said that he had to work in dust for that long even though he was allergic and had had sinus surgery.
The actor attended the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022 with Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. When asked about the opening scene he said, “Certain movies will finish in that much time, Akshay sir finished a movie in 40 days or so I heard,”
Directed by SS Rajamouli, RRR also starred NTR Jr, Ray Stevenson, Olivia Morris, Alison Doody, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Sara, and Ajay Devgan.

“In other news,
Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao who was recently seen in the movie Monica O My Darling, opened up about the time when he met Shah Rukh khan for the first time, calling it ‘special’ and ‘surreal’.
In a new video released by Netflix, Rajkummar said, “I was shooting something and he was there as well. I thought I have to meet him because. So I sent him a message and I was called to his vanity van. He was sitting there in front of his mirror and he saw me and said, ‘Raaj come.’ We all know how charming he is. I was awestruck,” “
“Karan Johar announced the new release date for his film, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. The romantic comedy is slated for release on April 28 next year.
The note read, “After 7 years, it’s time for me to return to my first home – the cinemas. I had the absolute honour of working with not one, but many illustrious actors on the set of my film. The familial nostalgic feeling of an ensemble cast, creating music that captivates the hearts and a story that runs deep to the roots of our family traditions. We’re overwhelmed and impatiently excited to finally inform… Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani in cinemas on 28th April 2023.””
“Shweta Bachchan recently talked about the stigma around menopause and how women are not adequately guided through the experience in India. She vented her feelings about the subject on the latest episode of her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast What the Hell Navya, on which they were joined, as always, by her mother Jaya Bachchan.
Shweta told Navya that though she and her brother Agastya joke about her mood swings, it is not funny to her. “My children say it to me if I am in a bad mood, and I shout at them, they will say, ‘Oh, mom is menopausing today.’ That’s not fair. For you, it’s a joke, but think about it for me, everything is going south.””
“Meanwhile,
In the latest episode of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast, What the Hell Navya, Jaya opened up about the difficult times she faced on film sets as a young woman. Jaya started her career at 15 years of age and was working at a time when there were no facilities at outdoor locations for actors.
Talking about it, Jaya shared, “When we used to do outdoors, we didn’t have vans. We had to change behind the bushes. There were not even enough toilets. It was awkward and embarrassing. You used 3-4 sanitary pads and you carried plastic bags to discard the pads and put them in a basket so that when you get home, you can get rid of them.””
“
“Lastly,
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says his upcoming feature An Action Hero is different from his “staple genre of social-comedy” and he hopes the audience accepts him in this new space. Billed as a slick actioner with an offbeat satirical sense of humour, the film follows an artist’s journey both in front and behind the lens. Khurrana plays Manav, an action hero, who runs for his life as Bhura Solanki, played by Jaideep Ahlawat wants to avenge the mysterious death of his brother.
