Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol to team up for Apne 2?

In 2007, Dharmendra collaborated with his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol for a movie titled Apne. The movie was directed by Anil Sharma and also starred Shilpa Shetty and Katrina Kaif. It was a hit at the box office and had also received positive reviews.


Now, according to a report in ETimes, after 13 years the makers are planning a sequel to the film. It is said that Anil Sharma has been working on the script for quite some time and has finally locked it. The shooting of the movie will kickstart in March or April next year, and it will be shot in Mumbai and London.

While of course, the film will star the Deol trio, it will be interesting to see if the leading ladies Shilpa Shetty and Katrina Kaif will be a part of the sequel or not.

Dharmendra, Sunny, and Bobby were last seen together on the big screen in Yamla Pagla Deewana 3. The film, which released in 2018, was a disaster at the box office.

While Bobby Deol has started the second innings of his career on the OTT platforms with the film Class of 83 and the web series Aashram, Sunny Deol was last seen on the big screen in last year’s release Blank. Meanwhile, Dharmendra’s last big screen outing was Shimla Mirchi in which he had a cameo. The much-delayed movie starred Hema Malini, Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead roles.

Jury trials are failing Britain - it’s time for real reform

Last week the Justice Secretary, David Lammy, proposed cutting down on jury trials. His suggestion may be controversial, but it is rooted in an uncomfortable truth: the current system is no longer fit for purpose.

As a former lay magistrate, I have seen the cracks in Britain’s justice system widening year after year. What the public is often told about the sanctity of jury service and the noble tradition of the magistracy bears little resemblance to the reality inside the courtroom. The truth is starker: our reliance on laypeople - however well-meaning - to deliver justice is no longer workable. We must remember that when the concept of jury trials was embedded in our legal system by Henry II in the 12th century, the population of Britain was a mere 2 million. Today – with a population of over 65 million – the principle of being tried by your peers is time-consuming, difficult to administer, and ridiculously expensive.
