Triptii Dimri, debutante Babil Khan starrer Qala to premiere on Netflix on December 1, 2022

Netflix on Tuesday announced the release date of its upcoming psychological drama, Qala will premiere on 1st December 2022. Set in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Qala is the story of an eponymous young playback singer. The film is about Qala’s tragic past and the ways in which it catches up with her, causing her to unravel at the peak of her hard-won success. But the beginning and end of her spiral is her relationship with her mother. The pathology of her upbringing and the neurosis it leads to. Witness the emotional journey of Qala who navigates professional successes while battling personal demons.

Director Anvitaa Dutt shares, “Qala is a story about mothers and daughters. And how a troubled upbringing can damage someone and have far-reaching consequences. Karnesh and I both felt it was an important story to tell. We set it in the world of music in the late 1930s; a setting both evocative and poignant. It has been an exciting and rewarding journey to bring this story to life with Netflix as our partners. This is my second outing with them and it has been twice as much fun to create a homegrown story for audiences worldwide.”

Producer Karnesh Ssharma says, “We are delighted to be working along with Netflix and Anvitaa once again. At Clean Slate Filmz we aim to create distinct stories and Qala is one such film. Audiences across the world will be able to relate to it due to universal themes like family relationships and mental health. A service like Netflix allows for audiences globally to find diverse stories from India and we are hoping the film and the music are something they hold on to even after watching it on December 1st.”

Anvitaa Dutt’s directorial return to Netflix stars Triptii Dimri, Babil Khan, Swastika Mukherjee, Amit Sial, Neer Raao, Avinash Raj Sharma and Ashish Singh in the lead roles. The film is produced by Karnesh Ssharma under the banner of Clean Slate Filmz.

A post shared by The Swoon (@theswoonnetflix)

For the unversed, Halloween celebrations turned deadly in South Korea’s Itaewon. It was reported that a crowd crush led to the death of 154 people, of whom 26 were foreign nationals and 132 were injured as per updates on Sunday, according to Korea Herald. An estimate of 100,000 people was expected to be in attendance on Saturday night in Itaewon, a district in central Seoul. In the narrow alley, around 10:40 pm, the crowd began to surge leaving people stuck there for over one and a half hours. This led to suffocation in the tight space. Videos and photos went viral on social media in which people and first responders were giving CPR on the spot to people who were unresponsive and went into cardiac arrest. The majority of the fatalities were people in their 20s.

Coming back to The Fabulous, the upcoming series follows four best friends as they chase their dreams alongside fashion’s elite while juggling demanding jobs, romantic dilemmas and wild nights on the town. In the series, Minho plays Ji Woo Min, a freelance photo editor established in his profession and known for his attractive appearance. However, he struggles with finding passion for his work. Things change when he encounters Pyo Ji Eun (played by Chae Soo Bin), a PR manager for luxury brands, and the two find themselves in a blossoming romance. The first look photos were unveiled in September.

Meanwhile, Chae Soo Bin was most recently seen in Disney+ series Rookie Cops. The series marked the debut of singer Kang Daniel as the lead actor.  She is currently seen in a variety show Young Actors’ Retreat. On the other hand, Choi Minho was last seen in Lovestruck In The City and Yumi’s Cells season 1.

Sidharth Malhotra – Kiara Advani starrer Adal Badal put on hold; film finds no takers

Post the release of the Vishnuvardhan directorial Shershaah, the lead pair Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani made headlines for their chemistry both on-screen and off it too. In fact, with the audience taking an immense liking to the film, filmmakers made a beeline to sign the two on for new ventures. One such venture was the quirky film tentatively titled Adal Badal, which revolved around the concept of soul transfers. In fact, both Sid and Kiara had read the concept note and were pretty kicked to start the project. However, now we hear that the said film has run into trouble.

As per a source close to the developments, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that the project has now been put on the back burner. Revealing details, the source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Yes, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani were very keen on doing the film. In fact, the quirky premise of Adal Badal intrigued them both, and they even gave the makers a green light to go ahead with the development of a script for the venture. Unfortunately, even before the venture could take off it seems to have been grounded with no takers for the film.” Further talking about why Adal Badal has been put on the back burner for now, the source continues, “No one in the industry is ready to bankroll the venture. It isn’t because of the lead pair, but instead, it is due to the rather unconventional storyline. Despite its quirkiness and novelty, in the current state, the industry is in, nobody wants to take a gamble and risk big monies on an untested formula.”

With no investors ready to take a gamble on producing the venture, it seems like the venture will eventually be dropped. Interestingly though, for fans who have been wanting to see the two together on screen again, the buzz is that Sid and Kiara will soon move onto the Dharma Productions venture that will topline them in the cast. In fact, reports claim that the two are contemplating starting work on this untitled venture rather soon.

As for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, both actors have an impressive lineup ahead. While Sidharth has Yodha and Mission Majnu, Kiara has Govinda Naam Mera, RC15, and the Kartik Aaryan starrer Satyaprem Ki Katha.

Daniel Radcliffe Purposely Fuels Wolverine Casting Rumors Just for Fun

You can only ask Daniel Radcliffe about Wolverine so many times before he'll decide to start having fun with how he responds. Ever since the X-Men movie series concluded with a subsequent announcement that the mutants would be rebooted for the MCU, there has been a lot of speculation over who might be playing Wolverine, one of the superhero group's most popular characters. The gruff mutant has notably been played by Hugh Jackman for the past two decades, which will include an upcoming return to the role for Deadpool 3, but we'll still most likely see a recasting of the role for when the new X-Men arrive.

I am slowly realising that we don’t always need to put up a strong front. Accepting this vulnerability is something that I am still struggling with. The doctors are confident that I will make a complete recovery very soon. I have had good days and bad days…. physically and emotionally…. and even when it feels like I can’t handle one more day of this, somehow that moment passes. I guess it can only mean that I am one more day closer to recovery.

I love you.. THIS TOO SHALL PASS."

Eternals Producer Promises the Superhero Team Will Return in the MCU

It's a matter of time before we see more of the Eternals. While many, many Marvel movies are quick to get sequels ordered, the future of Eternals isn't entirely clear following the film's release in theaters last year. It did well at the box office, though not at the levels typically expected of big-budget Marvel movies, and it was also met with rather mixed reviews. That might make moving forward with Eternals 2 more of a gamble that the studio isn't willing to take.

Hocus Pocus 3 Could Work Without The Sandersons Says Original Star

Hocus Pocus 2 has been a massive success for Disney in terms of viewership, even if audiences haven’t been quite as complimentary about the sequel as the classic original. While the movie boasted the return of Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters, along with Doug Jones back in the role of Billy Butcherson, there were some notable original cast members who did not make a comeback in the nostalgic follow-up. Omri Katz, Thora Birch, and Vinessa Shaw played the trio of children who brought the Sandersons back to life in Hocus Pocus, and in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Katz said that a third Hocus Pocus movie could work even without the Sanderson sisters being involved.

Ranveer Singh in talks with Om Raut to star in AI inspired VFX heavy movie

Ranveer Singh, since his debut in Band Baaja Baaraat, has come a long way to become one of the most sought-after talents in the industry. In fact, given the actor’s repertoire of work and his immense fan following, Ranveer is inundated with film offers. Well adding yet another we hear is filmmaker Om Raut who is approached Ranveer to feature in his next.

Revealing details, a well-placed industry source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Yes, Om Raut has approached Ranveer to feature in his next ambitious film. The project will be a VFX-driven project wherein Om Raut is looking to use an AI-inspired technique to film the entire movie.” Ask the source about Ranveer Singh’s reaction and he continues, “So far Ranveer has liked the idea and basic concept of the venture. In fact, he is in talks with Om Raut for the film and the development of the script. But it is still too early to say anything.”

Though the source is adamant about the film being something definite, those close to the actor reveal, “Ranveer Singh gets a lot of film offers and likes quite a few of them. However, just because he liked it, does not mean that he will do it. Yes, Om Raut did have a meeting with Ranveer and did pitch an idea, which the latter liked. But there is nothing confirmed.”

While, whether the said venture is made eventually or not is uncertain, on the work front, Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus, followed by Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.

Kartik Aaryan gained 10 Kgs for upcoming film Freddy

Having spun magic on the box office with his last film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kartik Aaryan seems to be in a ‘transformative’ mood. For his ready-for-release eerie film Freddy directed by Shashanka Ghosh, Kartik had to gain considerable weight to give a ‘weighty’ performance as a dentist on a rampage.

A well-informed source reveals, “Freddy is Kartik Aaryan’s most challenging role to date. He plays a dark eerie twisted character which will shock audiences.” Kartik’s character is apparently as grey as Shah Rukh’s Baazigar and Darr.

Since Kartik had to play a character older than his actual age, Kartik insisted on bulking himself up.

“The director suggested prosthetics. But Kartik wanted no artificiality in his acting ambit on this occasion. Freddy is as raw and real as it can get. And Kartik wanted the character to look as determinedly authentic as possible,” says the source.

Was it tough for Kartik to put on the kilos? “Not at all. He only had to tuck into his mother’s cooking for a few weeks to bulk up,” says the source.

All of this has led to complaints that the company is going woke for woke sake, but this is something that Chapek says is something that is “more complex” than many believe.

Janhvi Kapoor recalls how Sridevi threatened Boney Kapoor to make him give up smoking: “she risked her own health”

Janhvi Kapoor recently celebrated Diwali with her family, recalled the memories of her mother Sridevi. She talked about how she turned vegetarian to make Boney Kapoor give up smoking despite the health hazards she would face. She also shared that his smoking habit would often lead to fights in the house. The actress even revealed that she and her younger sister Khushi Kapoor would constantly find different ways to destroy his cigarette pack to force him to quit but the filmmaker-producer refused to quit smoking.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Janhvi Kapoor reminisced about how the late Sridevi went to extreme lengths including threatening her father to leave smoking. The actress even became vegetarian which was considered to be harmful for her health because she was weak. Janhvi was quoted saying, “It was long ago I remember staying in our Juhu house, papa was smoking a lot. I think it was around the time of No Entry, Wanted, and every morning, me and Khushi would find new ways to destroy his cigarette packets. So, either we'd go and cut up his cigarettes or I'd open it and put toothpaste on it. Nothing worked, and Mom would also keep fighting with him. She became vegetarian. She said I won't eat non-veg till you stop smoking and the doctors were like no you are too weak. You need to eat more, and she was like no. And Papa would beg her.”

Janhvi went on to add that it was her mother’s sudden demise that led to Boney Kapoor give up smoking. Speaking about how her demise had forced Boney to give up on the bad habit, Janhvi added, “Four-five years ago, he was just like she wanted me to stop. I couldn’t do it then. I’ll do it now,” Janhvi added. Readers would be aware that the nation woke up to the shocking news of Sridevi’s demise on February 24, 2018 after the actress reportedly drowned in the bathtub of one of the plush hotels in Dubai. Sridevi was in the city attending the wedding of Janhvi’s cousin Mohit Marwah.

Coming to Janhvi Kapoor, the actress is currently gearing up for the release of the survival drama Mili, which is a remake of the Malayalam film Helen.

'Weird Al' Yankovic Says Warner Bros. Denied His Harry Potter Parody Request

For as popular as the Harry Potter franchise had become, it had never become the target of a "Weird Al" Yankovic parody, but it turns out there's a reason for that. Legally, Yankovic does not need to get permission from those he spoofs as his material is protected by parody law, but even so, the famed parodist would still usually seek their blessings.

Uunchai Trailer Launch: Salman Khan wanted to be a part of the film but Sooraj Barjatya said 'No'

After back-to-back character posters that introduced Uunchai’s star cast, the trailer was unveiled on Tuesday, October 18.  Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, and produced by his home production Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films and Boundless Media, Uunchai will be in theatres in November. At the trailer launch, Barjatya revealed that Salman Khan wanted to be a part of the film.

“When I was making this, Salman asked me, ‘Sooraj what are you making?’ then, ‘Why are you going to the hills?’ Then he also told me, ‘I can do this film!’ I said no! Because we all know he can climb mountains. But I needed people who can look as if they can’t,” the filmmaker said at the trailer launch on Tuesday.

Sooraj Barjatya and Salman Khan's relationship go way back as Khan debuted as a lead actor in Rajshri Productions' Maine Pyar Kiya. He went onto star in Hum Aapke Hai Koun, Hum Saath Saath Hai and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo.

Talking about moving away from his lavish family-centric films, Sooraj Barjatya said, “Honestly speaking, this is the first time I’m making a film like this. In 2016, writer Sunil told me the film's subject was about four friends, all 65 plus. It was a humorous story about their mission to trek to the Everest base camp. He called it death, but when I heard it, I found it like life. The subject didn’t leave me. In the pandemic, when we were going through our challenges, I decided to take my biggest challenge. If you see the trailer, there’s no marriage, no functions. I tried to put temples though.”

The backbone of Uunchai’s story is friendship. It is a film that promises to celebrate emotion, relationships and age, Uunchai is headlined by Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Sarika, Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra, with special performances by Danny Denzongpa and Nafisa Ali Sodhi. Uunchai is slated to be released on November 11, 2022.
