Aamir Khan postpones the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha due to Coronavirus

Coronavirus has surely affected Bollywood a lot. Films like Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Sir and Sooryavanshi were slated to hit the screens this month, but the makers have decided to postpone the release.

The shooting schedules of many films have also been affected including Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. According to a tabloid, on Sunday, the team completed a schedule in Amritsar and now, Aamir has decided to put the shooting of the film on hold.


A source told the tabloid, “Since a major chunk of the film is being shot at real locations, the next schedule will be decided on a later date, after analysing the situation on-ground.”

Yesterday, even Producers Guild Of India, posted their statement on Twitter that they have decided to suspend the shooting from 19th March 2020 to 31st March 2020. They tweeted, “Official statement by Producers Guild of India on the health and safety concerns during productions owing to the ongoing threat of #coronavirus @kulmeetmakkar.”

Well, the source told the tabloid that Aamir was planning to put the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha on hold even before the statement from Producers Guild Of India was out. Let’s hope that soon the threat of coronavirus comes to an end.

Talking about Laal Singh Chaddha, the film is slated to release on Christmas this year. Directed by Advait Chandan, the movie is a remake of Hollywood movie Forrest Gump.

Liam Payne’s £24 million estate goes to son Bear as pop star dies without will

When Liam Payne died in October last year, the world mourned a pop icon. But behind the public grief lay private matters that are now slowly coming to light. The 31-year-old singer passed away in Buenos Aires after falling from a hotel balcony, a tragic end that left unanswered questions not just about his final hours, but about his legacy.

One of the more surprising revelations is that Liam didn’t leave a will. Despite having an estimated fortune of £28.6 million (30.1 crore), his estate was left unplanned. After covering debts and costs, £24.3 million (25.6 crore) remains. With no legal document to guide its distribution, the court granted power of administration to his ex-partner Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of his eight-year-old son, Bear.

Diljit Dosanjh wears 130 carat emerald necklace at Met Gala inspired by the lost £20 million Patiala jewel

When Diljit Dosanjh stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet this year, he didn’t just show up in a designer outfit but walked in carrying history. Dressed in an all-white ensemble with a turban, a kirpan and a spectacular necklace layered with emeralds and diamonds, Dosanjh paid tribute to Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, a name long associated with grandeur and timeless elegance.

The necklace was made in Jaipur by Golecha Jewels, who spent nearly four months crafting the piece. It wasn’t a copy of the original Patiala necklace, which vanished decades ago, but a fresh creation inspired by archival images and Dosanjh’s personality. It featured over 2,500 stones, with the emerald centrepiece weighing close to 130 carats, according to jeweller Manav Golecha.
