Dev Patel, who was last seen in David Lowery’s epic medieval fantasy adventure film The Green Knight, is presently busy promoting his next film Monkey Man. What makes the project very special for him is the fact that he has not only played the lead role in it but has also written and directed it.
Patel came live on Reddit on Thursday, March 28, and shared that “everything Shah Rukh Khan” does has inspired him to write and direct Monkey Man.
When a user asked him about his favourite Bollywood films and which ones inspired his writing and direction for Monkey Man, Dev responded, “Anything Shah Rukh Khan does (sic).”
The 33-year-old was interacting with fans during his “Ask Me Anything” session to promote his much-anticipated directorial debut.
Patel also praised his co-star in the film, Sobhita Dhulipala, who is making her Hollywood debut.
“Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she carries pain well as a performer,” Patel wrote in response to a fan’s question about his decision to cast Sobhita. “I wanted to find a leading woman that was trapped in a corrupt system like my character but somehow she has strength and takes the lead in our interactions,” he added.
Also featuring Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Ashwini Kalsekar, Makarand Deshpande, Adithi Kalkunte, Sikandar Kher, and Sharlto Copley, Monkey Man is slated to hit cinemas on April 5, 2024. It will be opening against the horror prequel The First Omen from the Disney-owned 20th Century Studios.
Charlie Puth announces he’s going to be a father in his latest video, “Changes.”
The song marks a new chapter ahead of his upcoming album Whatever’s Clever, releasing March 6, 2026.
The video features his wife, Brooke Sansone, in a subtle, heartwarming reveal.
A musical announcement with a twist
Charlie Puth’s latest music video, “Changes,” comes with more than just a new sound; it’s a personal milestone. The pop singer revealed that he and his wife, Brooke Sansone, are expecting their first child. The understated pregnancy announcement arrives as Puth prepares to release his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever, on March 6, 2026.
In the final moments of the video, Sansone appears alongside Puth, and the couple share a tender glance toward her stomach, a simple yet unmistakable reveal that sent fans into celebration across social media.
A playful, nostalgic tone in “Changes”
The “Changes” video carries a charming, retro aesthetic, blending whimsy with warmth. Puth performs in a setting reminiscent of a PBS classroom, wearing a casual, professor-like outfit as he grooves beside animated, Claymation-style instruments. The track itself feels like a smooth mix between Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” and the polished 1980s pop textures of Toto.
With its upbeat rhythm and lighthearted visuals, the video captures Puth in his post-fame, post-fuckboy era, one that fans have affectionately dubbed his “husband phase.”
The announcement marks a major personal and creative transition for the 33-year-old artist. Since releasing his self-titled 2022 album Charlie, Puth has kept a relatively low profile, occasionally sharing behind-the-scenes clips about music theory and songwriting with his followers. He married Brooke Sansone, a longtime family friend, in September 2024.
His upcoming album, Whatever’s Clever, is expected to showcase a more grounded version of Puth, balancing maturity with the catchy pop sensibilities that first made him a star.
As fans flood social media with congratulations, one thing is clear: the “change” at the heart of “Changes” isn’t just artistic, it’s the start of a new life chapter for Charlie Puth and Brooke Sansone.
