A couple of days ago, we reported that Katrina Kaif is set to join forces with hit filmmaker Sriram Raghavan for a new film. The yet-to-be-titled project will also star well-known Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi in an important role, marking his silver screen debut in Hindi cinema.
Fresh reports on the forthcoming project reveal that it will begin production in the month of April and will have a duration of just 90-minutes and no interval. Yes, you read that absolutely right!
Spilling some more beans, a source close to the development tells an entertainment portal, “It is yet another film from Sriram that would keep the viewers on the edge of their seat, and this time around, he is planning it as a straight 90-minute film. In fact, the story is written in a way that it does not even warrant an interval. It is going to follow a fast-paced pattern of storytelling, that Sriram is synonymous with, and there won’t be any breaks in between.”
The source goes on to add, “It is going to be a well-planned schedule with maximum edit work done in the script itself. While many filmmakers prefer to have a prolonged schedule with excessive stock footage, with Sriram, what he shoots is what will translate on the screen. He is being sure on the stuff he wants to film with the leading pair, more so in the Covid times, to avoid being outdoors for a longer period.”
Meanwhile, Katrina Kaif is gearing up to kick-start her next Tiger 3 with Salman Khan in March, as per reports. Khan and Kaif return to reprise their roles of Avinash Singh “Tiger” Rathore and Zoya respectively in the third installment of the Tiger franchise. The actress has also teamed up with filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar for a superhero flick franchise for Netflix.

That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
