Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur's Pippa goes on the floors; makers share the first look poster

Last year, it was announced that Ishaan Khatter and Mrunal Thakur will be seen in a movie titled Pippa which will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur, will be directed by Raja Krishna Menon.

On Wednesday (15), the shooting of the film started and the makers took to Twitter to inform everyone about it. Along with the first look poster, RSVP Movies tweeted, “Presenting the first look of #IshaanKhatter as #BrigadierBalramSinghMehta in #Pippa, an untold story from the 1971 war! Shoot with the squad begins today! @mrunal0801 @priyanshu29 @Soni_Razdan @RajaMenon @arrahman @RaviRandhawa77 @RonnieScrewvala #SiddharthRoyKapur.”


Ishaan will portray the role of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta in the movie. Pippa is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The movie also stars Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan.

Apart from Pippa, Ishaan will be seen in the horror-comedy, Phone Bhoot, which also stars Katrina Kaif and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The actor was last seen in Khaali Peeli which starred Ananya Panday as the female lead. The movie had got a direct-to-digital release on Zee5 on a pay-per-view basis.

Meanwhile, Mrunal Thakur has some interesting movies lined up. She will be seen in films like Jersey, Aankh Micholi, and Hanu Raghavapudi’s next (Telugu). Jersey is slated to release on Diwali this year.

Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
