Janhvi Kapoor and Sunny Kaushal are set to star in the Hindi remake of the successful Malayalam survival thriller Helen (2019). According to reports, the film will go before cameras in June. Director Mathukutty Xavier, who helmed the original film, has come onboard to direct the remake.
A source close to the development informs an Indian publication, “(The) Helen remake will be shot in North India, and director Mathukutty Xavier along with the DOP and the rest of his team is currently scouting for appropriate locations.”
The source goes on to add that though Sunny Kaushal has liked the script, he is yet to sign on the dotted line. “Besides Janhvi, Sunny Kaushal too is likely to feature in the film. He has been approached and has really liked the subject. They will start prepping for the film closer to the shooting date,” adds the source.
We hear that talented actor Manoj Pahwa has also agreed to play an important role in the remake. If reports are to be believed, he will be seen in the role of Janhvi Kapoor’s on-screen father.
Boney Kapoor is producing the remake in association with ZEE Studios. More details are expected to arrive soon.
Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor is currently working on Colour Yellow Productions’ Good Luck Jerry, which Sidharth Sengupta is directing for Aanand L Rai. She will soon resume work to finish pending portions of Dharma Productions’ much-awaited film Dostana 2 with Kartik Aaryan and Lakshya.
The actress is presently promoting her upcoming film Roohi. It also stars Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma in important roles. The horror-comedy, directed by Hardik Mehta and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, is set for its theatrical bow on 11th March, 2021.

Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
