In September, Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, and Siddhant Chaturvedi started shooting for Shakun Batra’s next in Goa, India. But, Deepika had to return to Mumbai as she was summoned by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for investigation.


And now, according to a report in Mid-day, the actress recently resumed the shooting of the untitled film. A source told the tabloid, "Deepika was in good spirits as she joined the unit last Thursday. Since there had been a 10-day-plus break, Shakun wanted her to ease into the process. She shot a light-hearted scene with Siddhant and Ananya.”

The source further added that when Deepika was in Mumbai, Batra shot the combination scenes of Siddhant and Ananya. The movie also stars Dhairya Karva.

While it is not yet known what the story of the film is, a source told the tabloid, "The movie studies the relationship dynamics between four friends who go on a road trip."

The untitled film is slated to release on Valentine’s Day next year. Let’s see if the movie will be able to hit the big screens as per the schedule.

Talking about Deepika’s other projects; the actress will next be seen in 83 which is slated to release on Christmas this year. She also has Nag Ashwin’s multi-lingual film which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas as the male leads. There are also reports that the actress has been roped in to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in YRF’s Pathan. However, YRF has not yet officially announced the film.

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with S S Rajamouli film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, alongside Mahesh Babu, following the monumental success of RRR. Rajamouli’s next project, with a budget exceeding Rs. 1000 crore, is expected to be a massive cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting the fresh pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

While excitement builds around the film's grand scale, another major talking point is Priyanka Chopra's reported remuneration for the project. The actress, known for her global appeal, is said to be charging a hefty Rs. 30 crore for SSMB29, making her the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry. This has reportedly pushed Deepika Padukone, who was previously the highest-paid with a salary of Rs. 15 to 20 crore per film, into second place. Priyanka’s fee has surpassed Deepika’s by a significant margin.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
