Sooraj Barjatya is known for directing family dramas. His last directorial was the 2014 release Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, and there have been reports of him collaborating with Salman Khan again for a romantic film.


However, now, according to a report in Mid-day, Amitabh Bachchan will be starring in Barjatya’s next which will be a family drama. A source told the tabloid, "The film will roll in the first quarter of 2021, and mark the first collaboration of Bachchan and Barjatya, as actor and director. Bachchan had loved the script when it was narrated to him earlier this year. He plays the family patriarch."

The source also stated that Big B will start shooting for Ajay Devgn’s Mayday in January and after that, he will start Barjatya’s movie.

Talking about the movie with Salman, the source told the tabloid, "Sooraj is currently focusing on his film with Big B, and his son's debut. His next with Salman is likely to roll only in 2022.”

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan has his kitty full with films like Brahmastra, Jhund (ready for a release), Chehre (ready for a release), Mayday, and Nag Ashwin’s next with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.

The megastar was this year seen in Gulabo Sitabo which got a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. While the film received a mixed response, Big B’s performance was appreciated a lot in it.

Kangana says her village roots made her Bollywood journey harder than Shah Rukh Khan's Delhi privilege

Highlights:

  • Speaking at a business event, she basically said her village roots made it harder.
  • Directly named SRK, calling him a Delhiite with a convent education.
  • Threw "brutal honesty" out there as her secret weapon.
  • You can already imagine the social media frenzy this kicked off.
  • It's the latest salvo in the whole insider-outsider war that never ends.

Well, she's done it again. Kangana Ranaut, now MP, just reframed the entire Bollywood struggle debate with one comparison. At a recent industry gathering in Delhi, she got to talking about her success. And then she brought up Shah Rukh Khan. Not with nostalgia. She positioned her own journey from a no-name Himachal village as the tougher path against his, what she termed, convent-educated Delhi background, and it obviously sparked reactions online.
