katrina kaif replaces priyanka chopra in salman khan starrer bharat
After Priyanka Chopra quit Salman Khan’s upcoming film Bharat, Katrina Kaif has joined the cast of the film as its leading lady. Katrina was last seen opposite Salman in 2017 blockbuster Tiger Zinda Hai. Bharat is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. This is the second Eid release of Zafar and Salman after 2016 film Sultan.
Director Zafar shared, “I am extremely excited to work with Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan once again for Bharat. We have had exciting collaborations in the past and it is very interesting to work with the duo once again. Katrina got on board in the Nick of time for the project and it is very delightful to work with the immensely talented actress yet again.”
Katrina will play the love interest of Salman. She will be joining the shoot in the upcoming schedule beginning in September. Bharat began production earlier this month and the first look of the film is already out. The film will reportedly feature Salman in five different looks over 60 years. He will also be recreating his look from Karan-Arjun. The film will be shot in Malta and Abu Dhabi, besides Punjab and Delhi in India.
Priyanka Chopra’s exit from the film ruffled a few feathers. Reel Life Productions CEO Nikhil Namit told Mid-Day, “Priyanka told us she had to exit due to her engagement, two days ago. It was a little unprofessional of her to do it so suddenly.” However, director Ali Abbas Zafar called her departure as “very very special” and wished her “loads of love & happiness”.

Produced by Atul Agnihotri’s Reel Life Productions and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, Bharat releases on Eid 2019.

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. 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...
