Ambica Sachin brings you the inside news and views from Bollywood
Fun on the sets
Leaked pictures from the sets of a movie under production are not new to the industry. But the team of Brahmastra seems to be extra click happy going by the number of images of the lead pair – Ali Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor – along with director Ayan Mukherjee and others that have been doing the rounds on our social media feed. This seems to be one happy-go-lucky shoot with the cast and crew having no qualms posing for pictures and posting the same from exotic locations. Even Amitabh Bachchan seems to have joined the bandwagon with pictures of him strolling along the streets of NYC with Ranbir Kapoor doing the rounds. It’s nice to see actors have fun on the sets which would translate to great chemistry on the screen hopefully.
Mixed reaCtions to Janhvi
Never has a Bollywood debutant had so much of the industry’s goodwill behind her. As Janhvi Kapoor is no doubt discovering, being a star kid is no walk in the park, but when you have the support of the entire industry, it can he heartening. The unexpected tragic demise of Sridevi seems to have brought the industry and the Kapoor clan together unlike anything seen before. While some critics have been blunt about Janhvi’s lackluster performance specially seen alongside Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak and when compared to the original
Sairat cast, the makers of the movie and many Bollywood stars have been unequivocal about their support for the young girl.
Keeping up with pC
She’s been zooming in and out of the country and we for one can’t keep count of the number of times Priyanka Chopra has hopped in and out of aircrafts to keep up with her busy career. Post wrapping up the schedule of
Isn’t it Romantic where she was seen breaking out her moves on the streets of NYC alongside co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson, she jetted off to London to bring in her 36th birthday with beau Nick Jonas in tow; following which she landed in Mumbai to begin shooting for Bharat alongside Salman Khan. Considering she is known for picking author-backed characters, we wonder how her role in Salman’s movie will turn out. Khan’s movies after all aren’t exactly known for strong female characters, now, are they?
ranveer wows again
It’s been nearly 6 months since we saw him on the big screen and we have to admit we miss Ranveer Singh. The Bajirao Mastani star has some powerful performances to his credit and is known for his larger-than-life persona off screen as well. So it’s no surprise that videos of him dancing impromptu along with Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev at IIM Bangalore recently has gone viral. Soon after he took to social media to shower some love on alleged beau Deepika Padukone who is in London currently to have measurements taken for her Madam Tussauds wax statue. Can’t wait to catch Singh firstly in Rohit Shetty’s Simbaa alongside Sara Ali Khan, followed by Gully Boy with Alia Bhatt in February next year and Kabir Khan’s 83,a biography of Kapil Dev.
