John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee are set to star together in a dark thriller which will be directed by Milap Zaveri. The film will be bankrolled by Nikkhil Advani and the shoot of the same has commenced recently. It is reported that Aisha Sharma, who is the younger sister of Tum Bin 2 actress Neha Sharma, will be the leading lady opposite John Abraham in the film.
In an interaction with a leading Indian daily, Aisha who has been into modeling for 5 years stated, "As an outsider in this industry, your choices are important as you don’t get a second chance. So, I’d been waiting for the right project and it’ll be overwhelming to share screen space with John and Manoj sir."
She further said, "They saw the tape and really liked it. I remember my first meeting with Nikkhil sir. I walked into his office, saw that he was in a meeting and went straight into the conference room as it was the only empty room. He later joked, ‘You stroll in and take over my office’, to which I retorted that he couldn’t bully a newbie,” laughs Aisha, quick to add that she is not just a pretty face in the film but stands up for a cause and has a mind of her own. She plays a vet and loves animals in real life too. “My dog, Joy, is like a sibling and I have her name tattooed on my hand."
Aisha will kick start the shoot for the film from March 18, 2018.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
