Alia Bhatt to team up with Bareilly Ki Barfi director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari for her next

Currently basking in the success of Raazi, looks like there is no stopping Alia Bhatt. While she already has Ayan Mukerji’s Bharhmastra, Karan Johar’s Kalank and Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy in her kitty, it was recently announced that Bareilly Ki Barfi director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is also collaborating with the actor for a film.

The slice-of-life comedy-drama is said to go on floors next year. Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari had made her debut with Swara Bhasker’s Nil Battey Sannata following it up with the critical and commercial success Bareilly Ki Barfi in 2017. Alia, on the other hand, has won praises for her latest feature in Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi. Looks like this untitled film is going to be one of those rare mainstream films, directed by a female and headlined by a female lead.

Talking about her desire to keep doing good work in the future, Alia told indianexpress.com in an earlier interview, “Contentment is very boring. I don’t like to be content. I like to be satisfied with a task and complete it. I then want to be satisfied with a new task. I keep moving on. And, goals are limiting. Once you achieve a goal, it is over. A new goal has to be set. It is better not to set goals. Keep working hard and keep getting better at it. That’s what I believe in.”

While no other details have been revealed about Alia’s co-stars in the film, she is all set to share screen space with Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor in Gully Boy and Brahmastra in the future. Here’s hoping the film is another feather in Alia’s cap

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
