A few months ago, Akshay Kumar had announced his movie Bachchan Pandey which will hit the screens on Christmas 2020. There have been several reports about the lead actress of the film. While some reports suggested it will be Kriti Sanon, some stated that Akshay will romance Pooja Hegde in the film.

However, now finally, the makers have announced that it is Kriti Sanon who will be seen opposite Akshay in the film. Bachchan Pandey is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, and on the Twitter handle of his production house, they announced that Kriti is a part of the film. They tweeted, “We’re extremely happy and elated to announce the charming @kritisanon is here to make our Christmas 2020 merrier than ever! ? Welcome back to the #NGEFamily with #BachchanPandey! ? @akshaykumar #SajidNadiadwala @farhad_samji @WardaNadiadwala.”

Kriti and Akshay were recently paired opposite each other in Housefull 4 and their jodi was liked by the audiences. This will be Kriti’s third film Sajid Nadiadwala. The actress tweeted, “Thrilled and beyond excited for this reunion!! ????? This Christmas is gonna be indeed a Merry Merry one! Can’t wait to start #BachchanPandey ? #SajidSir @akshaykumar @farhad_samji @WardaNadiadwala.”

While talking to a tabloid, Kriti stated, “I had a blast working with them in Housefull 4 and super excited that we will be collaborating again. It’s my third film with Sajid sir and again, a very entertaining one.”

Bachchan Pandey will be directed by Farhad Samji who had also directed Housefull 4.

Why Bollywood remakes of south Indian blockbusters have flopped?

Ever walked into a cinema, popcorn in hand, all hyped for a big new Hindi release – only to realise, halfway through, that you have seen the exact same story before, just in another language? That weird sense of déjà vu has become all too familiar for Bollywood audiences in recent years, with one remake after another. Many are based on South Indian hits.

From Vikram Vedha to Shehzada, Bholaa to Selfiee, Bollywood seems to be treating South Indian blockbusters like a catalogue to borrow from. But here is the problem – most of them did not work. Not just with critics, but at the box office too. Which raises the obvious question: if the originals were such big hits, why can’t the Hindi versions strike gold?

Ananya Panday slams Bollywood double standards on Lilly Singh’s podcast after body-shaming and surgery rumours

Ananya Panday is no stranger to the spotlight, but she’s also tired of being stuck under a microscope. In a recent chat with Lilly Singh on her podcast Shame Less, the actor spoke honestly about the constant criticism of her body and the double standards women face in the film industry.

Ananya recalled the early days of her career when, at 18, she was mocked for being too thin. Terms like “chicken legs” and “matchstick” were thrown at her regularly. “They said I had no boobs, no butt, like a flat-screen,” she shared. Fast forward a few years, and as her body naturally changed, new rumours popped up, but this time accusing her of undergoing cosmetic surgery. “Now they say I’ve had my butt done. You can never win,” she said.

Breaking Boundaries: Bibi Rukiya's Reckless Daughter

Bold New Dance-Theatre at Birmingham Hippodrome!

This May, Birmingham Hippodrome will present Bibi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter, a powerful dance-theatre production by acclaimed choreographer Amina Khayyam. Running on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 May, the show explores how patriarchy is not only imposed by men but also reinforced by women within family structures. Through a striking fusion of contemporary and classical South Asian dance, the performance offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on tradition, control, and female agency.

Bibi Rukiya’s Reckless Daughter highlights the often-overlooked role women play in maintaining patriarchal values. Mothers, grandmothers, and other female relatives sometimes enforce social rules that restrict younger women’s freedom, passing down expectations through generations. Khayyam’s choreography captures this tension, portraying the conflict between obedience and rebellion with emotional intensity.
