After the humongous success of horror comedy Stree (2018), Rajkummar Rao has become one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood. Every filmmaker knows that the talented actor has over half a dozen projects on his platter, but that is not stopping them to approach him with new offers.

The latest we hear that the team at Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is keen to have Rajkummar Rao onboard to headline a sequel to one of their successful films. The team feels that the actor is an apt choice for the sequel.

“The director is yet to be confirmed, but the makers want Rajkummar to play an important role in a film sequel that they are planning. The earlier film has also been produced by Dharma and the makers feel that Rao is an apt choice for the film. It is not clear as to what the sequel in question is all about,” a well-placed source reveals.

The source goes on to add, “Karan Johar also saw the rise of Vicky Kaushal earlier and locked him for Takht, but that was before Vicky performed the surgical strike. With Rao, it has taken a while in coming as he has always been busy with many happening projects.”

Amongst Rajkummar Rao’s upcoming projects include Rooh-Afza, Turram Khan, Made In China, Mental Hai Kya, Stree 2 and an untitled film with Anurag Basu.

Eurovision in turmoil as Spain Ireland and Netherlands threaten withdrawal over Gaza conflict

Highlights:

  • Spain leads a growing boycott movement, with Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia also refusing to participate if Israel competes.
  • The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is in crisis talks, extending its decision deadline to December 2025.
  • The situation draws direct comparisons to Russia’s exclusion in 2022, creating a precedent the EBU must now navigate.
  • The core dilemma pits Eurovision’s non-political ideals against the stark reality of a humanitarian crisis.

The Eurovision Song Contest, that glitter-drenched annual spectacle of pop and unity, is staring into the abyss. The escalating call for a Eurovision boycott over Israel's participation, against the backdrop of the ongoing Gaza conflict, has put the organisers into their most severe political crisis yet. This isn't just about another song entry but a fundamental clash between the contest's cherished apolitical fantasy and the inescapable geopolitics of the real world, threatening to tear the competition apart from within.
