Model-turned-actor Dino Morea, who is known for such successful films as Raaz (2002), Gunaah (2002) and Aksar (2006), has been missing from the scene for quite a long time now. If you missed the actor all this while, the good news is that he is set to swing back in action, in a different avatar though.
Dino Morea is gearing up to produce a comedy film titled Helmet, under his production house DM Movies. The latest we hear that the actor-turned-producer has joined forces with Sony Pictures Networks Productions to produce the quirky comedy.
To be helmed by Satram Ramani, Helmet features Aparshakti Khurana and Pranutan Bahl in lead roles. Known for his rib-tickling performances in Stree (2018), Luka Chuppi (2019) and Pati Patni Aur Who (2019), Khurana will play the lead role for the first time in his career. Pranutan Bahl, granddaughter of iconic actress Nutan, debuted in Bollywood with Salman Khan Films’ Notebook (2019) where she received widespread praises for her performance.
Besides Aparshakti Khurana and Pranutan Bahl, Helmet also features Abhishek Banerjee who has been a part of several successful films like Stree, Dream Girl (2019) and Bala (2019) and Ashish Verma.
Vivek Krishnani, Managing Director – Sony Pictures Entertainment India, stated, “At Sony, we have always aimed at supporting those projects that stem from a strong content base and are glad that Dino Morea brought this film to us. We believe in telling insightful stories and Helmet is one such film that picks a subject that is of utmost need today and is told in a way which will touch a chord with audiences. We are also happy to present the talented Aparshakti Khurana in a lead role as we have always believed in backing upcoming talents and providing them a platform to excel.”
Helmet has already started its shoot in Varanasi. The film is slated for a worldwide release in 2020.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
