‘Rumours of Ajith, Vijay working together in a film not true’

If sources in the Tamil film industry are to be believed, there is no truth to rumors doing the rounds that actors Ajith and Vijay will be working together in a film shortly.

Late on Monday, a section of the media reported that director Venkat Prabhu was to direct a film in which both stars– Ajith and Vijay– would be working together. The media reports attributed this statement to music director and singer, Gangai Amaren, who also happens to be Venkat Prabhu’s dad.

The reports claimed that an official announcement about the project would be made shortly. However, sources in the know claim that no such project is on the cards.

Meanwhile, actor Ajith, who is on a vacation, is having a whale of a time, riding one of his favorite fancy bikes across Europe. Pictures of the actor in Belgium’s Bruges Market Square have gone viral on social media.

Sources say that the actor will return to India to resume shooting of director H Vinoth’s film tentatively titled #AK61 in the first week of July. He will complete shooting for the film and then return to Europe for another riding expedition.

Samantha opens up on her divorce from Naga Chaitanya on ‘Koffee With Karan’

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is to appear on Karan Johar’s celebrity talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’. Samantha’s disclosure on the show about the reasons for her divorce from ex-husband Naga Chaitanya has sparked conjecture.

Samantha has now spoken up on the show for the first time about her divorce from ‘Ye Maya Chesave’ star Naga Chaitanya, according to social media rumors.

Samantha, who was obligated to respond to one of the questions on ‘Koffee With Karan’, did so in the most humble manner, according to sources. It’s unclear whether or not this part will make it into the final cut.

This topic has grabbed everyone’s interest for the time being. ‘Koffee with Karan’ will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar in July.

Though the ‘Oh Baby’ actress revealed how she felt when she realized she had to divorce Naga Chaitanya, she has kept the reason for the divorce a secret since then. The cause of their split has remained a mystery to their admirers, with neither party saying anything.

Anushka on returning to the sets post maternity break: Feels like my first film again

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma returns to the movies after three years with ‘Chakda Xpress’, inspired by the life and times of women cricket’s all-time greatest fast bowler Jhulan Goswami.

Anushka has started filming ‘Chakda Xpress’, which will be shot in India and the UK and is being produced by Clean Slate Filmz.

She says, “It feels like my first film again and I’m really excited to start this journey with ‘Chakda Xpress’, a film that I truly believe in. The pandemic unfortunately kept me away from returning to the movies despite me itching to start filming quickly. I would have loved to entertain and engage with fans and audiences way, way earlier.”

It is reported that Anushka will be flying to the UK to shoot a 30-day schedule of the cricket film.

She says, “A film of this scale needed tremendous prep in all departments and we are glad that ‘Chakda Xpress’ has started off in style. ‘Chakda Xpress’ is a delightful script that intends to make strong statements and I’m proud to creatively collaborate with my producer brother, Karnesh Sharma, and my director, Prosit Roy, to tell a fascinating underdog story of a woman.”

Jhulan Goswami succeeded in her goal and went on to captain the Indian women’s national cricket team and is a role model for aspiring cricketers in the country. In 2018, an Indian postage stamp was issued in her honor. Jhulan Goswami holds the world record for the highest number of wickets taken by a woman in an international career.

Anushka says, “It is a fact that women have to go that extra mile to earn their place in this patriarchal world. Jhulan Goswami’s life is testimony to the fact that she carved her own destiny and fought for every inch of spotlight and recognition.”

She adds, “I hope that I can do justice to this incredible script that is inspired by Jhulan’s life and times. I’m excited to challenge myself and push myself every single day at the shoot with ‘Chakda Xpress’ and I hope that I can deliver my best with this film.”
