After delivering two successful movies – Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Judgementall Hai Kya – in 2019, Kangana Ranaut is making sure that the slate of her upcoming films for the year 2020 also looks thoroughly impressive.
The three-time National Award-winning actress will kick-start 2020 with the release of her much-awaited film Panga. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Panga is a sports movie, starring Kangana Ranaut in the role of a Kabaddi player. Also featuring Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Richa Chadha and Jassie Gill in important roles, the film is slated to release on Republic Day 2020.
Her next releases will be Thalaivi and Dhaakad. The actress has started preparing for both the films. She has flown off to Los Angeles with the team of Thalaivi, where she will be undergoing various look tests with Hollywood expert Jason Collins. Jason boasts of an impressive body of work. He has worked on blockbuster Hollywood movies like Captain Marvel (2019) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017).
“I am very curious about this process, I don’t know how it will impact my expressions and approach to my character, but this is going to be a one of its kind experience for me,” says Kangana Ranaut.
Based on the life of actor and politician Jayalalithaa, Thalaivi is a multi-lingual film. Set to begin production post-Diwali, the biopic will be first shot near Mysore followed by other locations. To be directed by AL Vijay and produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shaailesh R Singh, Thalaivi is expected to be shot on a huge scale.
Coming to Dhaakad, the film is an out-and-out action entertainer. The film will be directed by debutant filmmaker Razneesh Ghai. It will be jointly produced by Sohel Maklai Productions and Asylum Films and co-produced by Qyuki Digital Media. The movie is set to hit screens on Diwali 2020.
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.
