Jacqueline Fernandez to shake a leg with Prabhas in Saaho

Jacqueline Fernandez was last seen on the big screen in 2018 release Race 3. It’s been more than a year; her fans have seen her on the silver screen. But the wait will be over this Independence Day. According to a report in a tabloid, the actress will be seen shaking a leg with Prabhas in Saaho.

She shot for the song in Austria with Prabhas. A source told the tabloid, “Jackie was in Austria for three days for the fun song with Prabhas, sung by Badshah. She also shot some scenes during the schedule which wrapped up on Tuesday and there are other surprises in the store. A lavishly-mounted romantic track with Prabhas and Shraddha was also shot at Innsbruck and Tirol. It was choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.” It will surely be interesting to see Jacqueline on the big screen with Prabhas.


Saaho is clearly one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and also has a strong supporting cast like Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Mandira Bedi, and others.

The teaser of the film was launched a couple of weeks ago and as expected it received a great response. The opening scene in the teaser had Shraddha Kapoor, the female lead of the film, which generally doesn’t happen when there’s a superstar in the movie. However, director Sujeeth they decided to have Shraddha before Prabhas in the teaser. He had said, "It is an important role for the female character. Shraddha drives the film to the end. It was a conscious decision to make my female characters strong. When we started working on the teaser, we had two options here - to go with Prabhas, considered as a huge star and you expect him to be there in the opening scene. And other was to begin it with Shraddha and we chose the latter."

The makers of Saaho are now all set to release the first song of the film Psycho Saiyaan. The film is slated to release on 15th August 2019 and it will be clashing at the box office with Mission Mangal which stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sonakshi Sinha, Nitya Menon and Sharman Joshi.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.

Lancashire bats for Indian board to join The Hundred

THE England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should offer the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) a minority ownership stake in The Hundred to attract Indian players to the competition, Lancashire CEO Daniel Gidney has suggested.

“I think it’s possible. If I was the ECB, I’d be talking about perhaps bringing the BCCI in as a minority ownership partner in the tournament as a whole. If you do that, then you are aligning interests,” Gidney told the ESPNCricinfo website.
