It is no secret that Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez is gearing up to make her Hollywood debut with an anthology film titled Women's Stories.

The film also stars Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria, Leonor Varela, Margherita Buy, and Marcia Gay Harden.

Apart from Women’s Stories, Jacqueline Fernandez has several other interesting projects in her pocket. As mentioned before, she next stars in Bhoot Police which marks her foray into the horror-comedy zone. The actress will follow it up with filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited film Cirkus, also starring Ranveer Singh and Pooja Hegde in lead roles.

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.
