Janhvi Kapoor to dive into digital world

Janhvi Kapoor has become one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood despite the fact that she has done only one film so far. The daughter of veteran actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Janhvi made her acting debut with Dharma Productions’ Dhadak (2018) alongside Ishaan Khatter. The movie turned out to be a big hit at the box-office, helping the newcomer bag several other films as well as a few high-profile brand endorsements.

The latest we hear that Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up to make her digital debut soon. Buzz has it that she will be seen in a web-series called Ghost Stories. The project is reportedly being handled by ace filmmaker Zoya Akhtar who recently delivered a hit like Gully Boy (2019) with Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Spilling the beans, a source close to the development tells an entertainment magazine, “It didn’t take too much of convincing and Ghost Stories will mark Janhvi’s debut into the digital world as well. She has also allotted her dates for the same and since it’s a 30-minute short, it will be wrapped up in about ten days of shoot”.

Kapoor, meanwhile, is busy shooting for her upcoming film Roohi-Afza which is a horror-comedy set in a small town of Uttar Pradesh. She will also begin the next schedule of her much-awaited film Kargil Girl soon. The young actress has also been signed up to play a pivotal part in Karan Johar’s ambitious directorial venture Takht. Also starring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Anil Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles, the period drama is expected to start rolling at the beginning of 2020.

More details on Ghost Stories are expected to arrive soon. An official announcement is also awaited.

UK becomes key hurdle for Paramount's £81 billion Warner Bros. Discovery takeover

  • The UK government is considering intervening in Paramount Skydance's proposed £81 billion ($110 billion) takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
  • Ministers want to assess the deal's impact on media plurality, news diversity and streaming services.
  • Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery have until July 6 to respond before a decision is made.

The Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger has cleared several major regulatory hurdles around the world, but the proposed £81 billion ($110 billion) deal is now facing fresh scrutiny in the UK. The British government is considering intervening on public interest grounds, raising the possibility of further delays to one of the largest media transactions in recent years.

The potential intervention centres on concerns over media plurality, news diversity and the future of television and streaming services available to UK audiences. If ministers decide to proceed, the transaction could face a more detailed investigation despite already receiving approvals in markets including the US, China, Australia, Germany, France and Saudi Arabia.
