Bharat: Tabu joins Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra in Ali Abbas Zafar’s next

After Priyanka Chopra and Disha Patani, veteran actor Tabu is all set to join Salman Khan in his upcoming period drama titled Bharat. Helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bharat is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean film Ode to My Father which looked at modern Korean history from the 1950s to the present day through the life of an ordinary man.
Ali Abbas Zafar took to Twitter to announce the news, “Finally it’s happening , so excited to work with you :) lots of love @tublb :) @Bharat_TheFilm @BeingSalmanKhan @priyankachopra @DishPatani @WhoSunilGrover.”
It was earlier revealed that actor Disha Patani will play a trapeze artist in the film. Her sequence is said to be shot as a tribute to legendary Hindi film actor Raj Kapoor. Booked for an Eid 2019 release, Bharat will be shot across locations in Abu Dhabi and Spain, besides Punjab and Delhi in India.
Though little is known about Tabu’s role in the film, Bharat will supposedly chronicle the struggles of an ordinary man right from the point of India’s Independence in 1947. Tabu and Salman had last shared screen space in the 2014 Sohail Khan film Jai Ho. The duo has also done films like Hum Saath Saath Hain, Jeet, Biwi No 1 and others together. As for Tabu and Priyanka, this will mark their first outing together.
Yesterday, Ali Abbas Zafar also announced that the first song for Bharat had begun recording. While popular duo Vishal-Shekhar composed the song, the lyrics were penned by Irshad Kamil. Bharat marks the third collaboration between Vishal-Shekhar, Kamil and Zafar after Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
In an earlier statement, Zafar told fans more about Bharat and Priyanka’s role in the film, “Bharat is a mature, subtle love story and her character is the soul of the film. She stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Salman in his journey and is the catalyst who triggers what will be a turning point in the plot.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

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.

It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
