Aamir Khan’s Vikram Vedha remake faces delay due to Laal Singh Chaddha

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan had planned to work on the official remake of superhit Tamil film Vikram Vedha (2017) right after wrapping up his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. But all his plans have gone for a toss due to the Coronavirus pandemic as he will be forced to delay work on the remake because the global health crisis has caused an inordinate delay in the shooting of Laal Singh Chaddha.

After a complete halt of three months, filmmakers are returning to sets to resume production. But there is no denying the fact that the pandemic has torn apart the movie calendar of one of the largest moviemaking industries in the world.


A major portion of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha is yet to be filmed. The actor has reportedly informed Neeraj Pandey, who is bankrolling the Vikram Vedha remake, that he will start working on the project only after the release of Laal Singh Chaddha.

“Almost 40 per cent of Laal Singh Chaddha remains to be shot. Aamir is certain that he will not return to the set until the situation improves. He does not want to risk the safety of the cast and crew at any cost. In all likelihood, he will resume shooting only after October and is eyeing a Christmas 2021 release for the film. He has informed Neeraj Pandey, who is producing Vikram Vedha, that he will begin work on the thriller only after the release of Laal Singh Chadha,” a source in the know informs a publication.

Aside from Mr Perfectionist, the Vikram Vedha remake also features Saif Ali Khan in a significant role.

Retro reviews say Suriya powers a visually striking but overstuffed gangster romance

Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro has sparked mixed reactions, with many applauding its grand vision and Suriya’s magnetic performance, even as the film struggles to balance style and substance. It’s a throwback in form and name, but with a narrative that jumps decades, from sepia-toned memories to blood-soaked confrontations.

At its core, Retro tells the story of Paarivelkannan (Suriya), an orphan marked by fate and forged in violence. Raised in a gangster household, his life takes an unexpected turn when love enters in the form of Rukmini (Pooja Hegde). The film teases a redemptive arc, can a man born into chaos escape it, or is violence his destiny?

Sir David Attenborough is marking his 99th birthday with the release of Ocean, a new feature documentary in which the veteran naturalist speaks more strongly than ever before against the environmental destruction caused by industrial fishing.

The film, which opens in UK cinemas on 8 May, focuses heavily on bottom trawling, a method Attenborough describes as "draining the life from our oceans". In a particularly stark moment, he states that the scars left by these vessels on the seabed are so extensive that “the trails of destruction can be seen from space”.
