Ishaan Khatter in talks to topline Geetha Govindam’s remake

Ishaan Khatter, who made his acting debut with Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s Hindi film Beyond The Clouds (2018), scored a huge hit when he paired up with Janhvi Kapoor in Karan Johar’s Dhadak (2018).

Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, the movie did fabulous business at the box-office and helped Khatter gain his footing in showbiz. While many people thought that after the stupendous success of Dhadak, he would take up new projects left, right and centre, Ishaan decided to take it slow and is yet to sign a new film on the dotted line.


However, speculations are rife that the young actor has been approached by the makers of successful Telugu film Geetha Govindam (2018) to play the male lead in its Hindi remake. The original film starred Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in prominent parts.

While Geetha Govindam was directed by well-known filmmaker Parasuram, there is no news on who will direct its Hindi remake.

It will be interesting to see if Ishaan Khatter agrees to do the film.

An official announcement is awaited.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
