Akhil Akkineni’s ‘Agent’ release postponed again

‘Agent’, Akhil Akkineni’s grandiose project, has been in the works for quite some time and has had numerous delays. The film has been postponed yet again, much to the chagrin of fans.

Production of the picture has been slow, and the ‘Agent’ team is currently considering a December 2022 release date.

The main causes of the delays are Akhil’s injuries and several schedule backlogs. It is also alleged that the film has undergone extensive script modifications as well as actor replacements.

This acclaimed pan-India project is being funded by AK Entertainment and Surender 2 Cinema and is directed by Surender Reddy. The producers are not skimping on action sequences and are spending a lot of money on them. After the underwhelming result of his previous film Most Eligible Bachelor, Akhil has high hopes for this product and hence, is not ready for any compromises.

Malayalam Superstar Mammootty is playing a vital role in the cop story with an international crime in the backdrop.

KJo was overwhelmed when Alia told him about her pregnancy

Multi-hyphenate Karan Johar, who is gearing up for the release of the seventh season of his chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’, shared that he was overwhelmed when his mentee actress Alia Bhatt shared the news of her pregnancy.

The Dharma Productions head-honcho told the press that Alia had come to his office and after he broke down, she gave him a hug. He also shared that his “first burst of parenting” was actually with Alia Bhatt.

In an interview with Times of India, Karan said: “I cried. She came to my office. I remember I was having a bad hair day and I was sitting in a hoodie with a cap. And she told me this. My first emotion was that tears just came out and she came and gave me a hug. I was like I can’t believe you are having a baby. It was like your baby is having a baby. It was a very emotional moment for me, and it still is.”

He also added, “I’ve seen her transform from a girl into an outstanding artiste, into this wonderful self-assured woman. And I feel so much pride. Because really, my first burst of parenting was actually with her. She walked into my office when she was 17. She’s 29 today and these last 12 years have been magical for both of us because I share such a strong bond with her. I can’t wait to hold her baby in my arms. It will be a very emotional moment, as close to when I held my own children.”

Alia had made her Bollywood debut with the romantic comedy-drama Student Of The Year which was directed by Karan Johar.

Actress Margot Robbie celebrates birthday with Barbie cake

Actress Margot Robbie celebrated her 32nd birthday on the set of her new Barbie movie with a pink cake themed around the beloved children’s character.

The Australian actress is currently playing the children’s character in a new live-action movie opposite Ryan Gosling as Ken and she rang in her big day on set with a very special pink cake emblazoned with the words ‘Happy Birthday Barbie Margot’, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The cake had a Barbie doll sticking out of the top with the base arranged to look like a pink ballgown.

Robbie was also pictured carrying a big box of doughnuts on set along with a white party hat, while her husband Tom Ackerley was also seen on set helping the actress celebrate her special day.

The actress previously opened up about the movie role in an interview with Vogue magazine, insisting the Greta Gerwig-directed film is not what most people expect it to be.

She explained: “It comes with a lot of baggage! And a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that come a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t’.”

Amy Schumer was originally cast in the role of Barbie but later dropped out and explained her exit was due to creative differences.

An India-born parliamentarian from Canada, Chandra Arya said on Wednesday that anti-Hindu and anti-India forces have joined hands in Canada.

The Canadian parliamentarian, who originally hails from Karnataka, made these remarks in connection with an offensive poster by filmmaker Leena Manimekalai on Hindu goddess Kaali that has created outrage and condemnation throughout the country.

“Painful to see Kaali poster by filmmaker Leena Manimekalai. Past few years, traditional anti-Hindu and anti-India groups in Canada have joined forces resulting in Hindu phobic articles in the media and attacks on our temples,” Chandra Arya stated on his social media handle.

He also said that an apology from the Aga Khan Museum “is welcome and appreciated” in connection with the poster.

The poster shows Hindu goddess Kaali smoking a cigarette. The offensive poster has created outrage in India. Goddess Kaali is revered across India and represents the powerful spirit that finishes off evil.

Actor Vidyut promotes ‘Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2: Agni Pariksha’ in Patna

Bollywood action star Vidyut Jammwal arrived in Patna on Tuesday for the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2: Agni Pariksha’.

While interacting with media persons in Patna, Vidyut said that he has come to Patna for the first time and it has changed his thinking.

“The city is beautiful and has improved road infrastructure. I have visited the newly built Patna’s marine drive on the bank of the Ganga river and it is beautiful. The marine drive is a new location for film shooting, and I will do the road chasing action scene on this stretch one day,” he said.

“When I was planning the promotion of the film, I told the director Farrukh Kabir to go to Patna for the promotion. I knew the people of Bihar are very creative and brave. I have a stunt team and the best stuntman on our team belongs to a small village of Patna. I knew it, hence, I have decided to go to Patna and meet the people,” Vidyut said.

Shahnawaz Hussain, the industry minister of Bihar who invited the action stars Vidyut Jammwal and Farrukh Kabir to his official residence on Tuesday evening, said that action star and youth icon Vidyut arrived in Patna and it is a great experience for every person of Bihar.

“Bihar is changing now. After Mumbai, Patna is the only city having a marine drive in the country. Vidyut is a youth icon and he came to Bihar. I am hopeful that he will shoot his film in Bihar one day. Amitabh Bacchan in an ad says ‘Kuch din to Gujarati Gujarat mein’ (spend a few days in Gujarat). I am saying ‘Ek bar to anyone Bihar mein’ (come once to Bihar),” Hussain said.

“Vidyut wishes to shoot film at marine drive, Bihar government will give him permission for the shooting,” the minister said.
