Kriti Sanon: I want to shift gear constantly & not stay in a particular zone

Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, who is gearing up for her upcoming film ‘Shehzada’, likes to walk the fine line between high-content and high-entertainment films, and the films in her pipeline for this year prove the same.

Talking about what audiences can expect from her in 2023, Kriti said: “The audience can probably look forward to far more versions of me. It starts with a very glamorous one which is a family entertainer, followed by probably my biggest film, ‘Adipurush’, which I am extremely proud of. Then there is a lot of action coming in with ‘Ganapath’, something I have done for the first time. You will see me ride a dirt bike, throw kicks and punches and also use a weapon.”

She added: “I am also doing a quirky love story with Shahid Kapoor. We are teaming up on the screen for the first time, so you will see fresh chemistry. Then there is ‘The Crew’, which has three women (Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and me) coming together, having a lot of fun and creating something amazing.”

She also spoke about how she picks up various characters and roles.

The actress further mentioned: “Till ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, I was getting small-town roles one after the other. So, I did the war epic drama ‘Panipat’. Then I took up a strong and meaty role in ‘Mimi’ and moved on to the next level. I want to shift the gear constantly and not stay in one particular zone. You have to move on and think about what’s next, otherwise, you will stagnate.”

The actress, who is at the top of her game, hopes to surprise audiences with some exciting projects that showcase different sides of her persona and talent in 2023 with ‘Shehzada’, ‘Adipurush’, and ‘Ganapath’.

The actress said that she is also looking forward to working with Varun Dhawan for the first time, on this project.

“He is someone who is full of life and cheer when you’re around him.”

The untitled ‘Citadel’ series based out of India is being helmed by renowned creator duo Raj and DK, who are the showrunners and directors. The local installment is written by Sita R. Menon, along with Raj and DK.

The streaming service also confirmed that the production is currently underway in Mumbai. After this, the unit will head to north India and then to international locales like Serbia and South Africa.

She made her streaming debut with The Family Man Season Two, on Prime Video, and is one of the most talented artists in the industry today. We can’t wait for audiences to see her on-screen in a brand new avatar, along with Varun and the incredibly talented ensemble cast we have on board for this series, said Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals, Prime Video.

“The canvas for the Indian installment of Citadel is larger than life but the treatment and texture are retro, rooted, and quirky. The series is being shot extensively across India and international locales. With Raj & DK steering this ship and a terrifically talented cast, we are confident that the series is going to be nothing short of a spectacle.”

“We are elated to work with Samantha once again after The Family Man. Once we had the script down on paper, she was an obvious choice for this character. We couldn’t be happier to have her on board,” said creator duo Raj & DK.

“We are thrilled to have started production on Citadel India. The first leg is being shot in India before we move onwards to Serbia and South Africa. We have an amazing crew and a tremendously talented cast, which makes the creative process all the more exciting.”

‘He’d punch my private parts’: Flora Saini recalls her abusive relationship

Actress Flora Saini, who has worked in films such as ‘Stree’, ‘Prema Kosam’ and ‘Narasimha Naidu’ among many others, recalled her abusive relationship with a ‘famous producer’ and said that he used to punch her “private parts” and “box” her face.

The actress revealed that her ex-boyfriend-producer Gaurang Doshi reportedly abused her physically in a 14-month-long relationship.

Flora took to Instagram and shared a video, where she talked about her personal life.

Talking about her relationship from when she was 20, Flora said: “I was in love, he was a famous producer.”

“But soon things changed. He turned abusive, he’d box my face and punch my private parts. He took my phone and forced me to quit work. For 14 months, he didn’t let me talk to anyone. Until one evening, he punched me in the stomach, and I ran away,” she added.

Flora further stated that she went back to live with her parents, and it took time to recover from the trauma she went through.

“Slowly, I got back to the thing I liked the most — acting. It took time but I’m happy today, I’ve even found love,” Flora added.

Flora captioned the clip: “Life can only be lived forward and some of the biggest blessings of your life come after your biggest lessons… when you least expect it… so never stop believing in the magic of life and let the universe surprise you… I STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRY TALES.”

How Raashii Khanna bagged ‘Farzi’: ‘Destiny works in mysterious ways’

Multi-lingual star Raashii Khanna has shared how she bagged her part in the Raj and DK show ‘Farzi’ starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupati.

Raashii signed ‘Farzi’ before her digital debut release ‘Rudra: The Edge of Darkness’, but also her audition for the Shahid Kapoor-Vijay Sethupati co-starrer show was filmed years ago.

She said: “‘Farzi’ came to me based on an audition I did for Mukesh Chhabra’s casting agency a few years back. It wasn’t particularly for any project, however, it lead me to ‘Farzi’.”

“Apparantly, Raj and DK saw the audition tape and had also seen clippings of my work in a few South Indian films, and visualized Megha in me. I guess destiny works in mysterious ways.”
