Few weeks ago, Kartik Aaryan had put out a post almost announcing his next project. His post made fans excited as he said he was prepping for something super big. The project happened to be Vasan Bala's next superhero venture. The sci-fi venture titled Phantom was to be based on the comic superhero character of the same name. While Kartik had verbally agreed to be part of the big budget film, now we hear that he's walked out of that project completely. A source informed Bollywood Hungama , "There were a few things that Kartik didn't agree with. Vasan Bala has his own style of filmmaking and his films are quirky but not commercial. Kartik and he had disagreement in the way they were planning to mount the sci-fi biggie. Kartik was of the opinion that a superhero film, this being his first, had to be made on a huge budget and presented in a more commercial actioner space. But Vasan's idea was to underline it with dark humour and that made it a more niche film."

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa are two of the most-watched shows of the Indian television. With a massive viewership, both the shows were dearly missed during the lockdown last year. As the number of cases have been on an all-time rise due to the second wave, a lot of Indian television show’s shoots have been moved to other states including Goa and Gujarat as Maharashtra faces a lockdown due to the pandemic. Rajan Shahi, the producer of both the shows will make sure that the shoots go smoothly and the scripts will also see a change as per the location. As for Anupamaa, the family will be seen leaving for a destination engagement and despite the turmoil in their lives, Anupamaa will be seen putting up a happy face. A slightly similar scenario will be seen in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The show will witness Goenka family leaving for Kartik and Sirat’s engagement that will eventually be gate crashed by Ranveer. With a change of location, the actors will be taking care of the

Last year, Shakun Batra went on floors with his next - a domestic noir drama that stars Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa.

A source tells us, "Deepika plays the role of a fitness instructor. While many in the know say it's based on a celebrity fitness instructor, the team at Dharma Productions and the writers have completely denied it.

Shankar the maverick filmmaker from the South known for his big-screen fantasies has lately found himself in a bit of a legal jam. First there was the producer of Shankar’s 2005 Telugu blockbuster  Anniyan . Producer Aascar V Ravichandran claimed—and rightly so—that the story and screenplay rights of Anniyan  belonged to him and therefore Shankar was not within his rights to do the remake. Now comes an even bigger blow to Shankar’s epic plans with his long-delayed  Indian 2 finding itself in a legal imbroglio. The producers Lyca Productions have now gone to court to forbid Shankar from directing any other film until he completes  Indian 2 . But will  Indian 2  ever get completed? The film’s leading man Kamal Haasan has been busy with his political aspirations which are prioritized far above his film career at the moment. An informed source reveal, “ Indian 2  has been troubled from the word go. It has been facing one glitch after another. Now the producers going to the court askin

S S Rajamouli’s post- Baahubali opus RRR has got itself into a massive Covid imbroglio. While Rajamouli is adamant to finally release the film on 13 October, as per the latest schedule plan, sources close to the project say the release in the given date seems “next to impossible” One of the actors from RRR told this writer, “How can it release on 13 October? Both Ramcharan Teja and NTR Jr have a lot of pending shooting for RRR . Ramcharan hasn’t shot much this year. He was busy with his other project Acharya (featuring father and son Chiranjeevi and Ramcharan). NTR Jr also didn’t shoot this year. The plan was for them both to shoot and complete the film by July 2021. This now seems unlikely with the new Covid upsurge.” The source says RRR may now be pushed to early next year. “We may come for Makar Sankranti in January 2022. Even that is doubtful at the moment.” This source rules out a digital release for RRR . Also Read:  Makers of RRR launch a new poster starring Ram Charan

The second wave of Coronavirus has been far more extreme and has spread its wings across the country. The city of Mumbai is now past it’s peak and has seen a steady decrease in cases. But still, around 4000 people are testing positive for the deadly virus each day, resulting in shortage of hospital beds. The authorities, hence, have been trying their best to increase the beds wherever possible. Bollywood actors, too, have been helping them so that the infrastructure could be ramped as soon as possible. It has now come to light that Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn has made a significant contribution in this regard. He, along with the help of his colleagues from Bollywood, gave Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) a sum of Rs. 1 crore to help set up a 20-bed Covid ICU. This makeshift hospital has been erected at the Bharat Scouts and Guides Hall, located in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park area. A report confirmed that the said amount was donated to the BMC for the noble work by Ajay Devgn’s o
