Kartik Aaryan gives his nod to an action flick?

Kartik Aaryan, who was last seen in BR Studios and T-Series Films’ superhit comic-caper Patni Aur Woh (2019), is shooting for several of his upcoming films at the same time. He is also taking some time off from his busy schedule to promote his immediate release Love Aaj Kal alongside Sara Ali Khan. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the romantic movie is scheduled for its theatrical release on 14th February 2020.

The latest we hear that the talented actor has bagged a new project. If a recent report is to be believed, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020) director Om Raut recently approached the actor for a film. Aaryan loved the script and gave his verbal nod to it. Though nothing much is known about the project now, the report mentions that it will be an action flick. If the actor has indeed committed to this project, it will be his first film in action space.

Ever since making his acting debut with Pyaar Ka Punchnama in 2011, Kartik Aaryan has mostly starred in romantic and comedy films. There is no denying the fact that he has carved a niche for himself in that space. It will be quite interesting to see how he shoulders an action film.

Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan is shooting for Dharma Productions’ much-awaited film Dostana 2, alongside Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Lakshya. As the title suggests itself, the movie is a sequel to the 2008 comic-caper Dostana, originally starring Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles. It is slated to release in the second half of the year.

The actor will also be seen in horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Directed by Anees Azmee, the movie also features Kiara Advani and Tabu in important roles. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is slated to enter cinemas on 31st July 2020.

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
