Kartik Aaryan to star in Ram Madhvani’s next?

Murtuza Iqbal

Kartik Aaryan has some interesting projects lined up. He will be seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Dostana 2, and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo remake (not yet officially announced).


And now, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the actor will be seen in Neerja director, Ram Madhvani’s next film.

A source told the entertainment portal, “It’s a subject that Kartik loved in the first narration and instantly allotted his dates to Madhvani. It’s a different space for Kartik, who so far is synonymous with rom-coms, and he is all charged up to embark on this new journey."

Reportedly, the shooting of the film will kickstart in December and will be wrapped up in 45 to 50 days. “In-fact, it will be ready before his already on floors films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2. It will most probably release during summer 2021,” the source further stated.

It is said that an official announcement about the film will be made soon with the title and the name of the female lead.

After Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Kartik Aaryan has become a star and has featured in successful films like Luka Chuppi and Pati Patni Aur Woh. However, earlier this year, Kartik starred in Love Aaj Kal opposite Sara Ali Khan and the film failed to make a mark at the box office. The actor was supposed to star in an action film to be directed by Om Raut (Tanhaji fame), however, a few months ago, it was announced that the film has been shelved.

Meanwhile, after Neerja, Ram Madhvani has not helmed any film, but he directed Sushmita Sen starrer web series Aarya which released on Disney+ Hotstar a few months ago.

The heat flares up, then fades, leaving behind a chill of uncertainty. Menopause is not just a physical challenge; it is a profound emotional shift, a re-evaluation of identity, roles and the future. What begins with whispers – missed periods, sleepless nights, brain fog – can escalate into a roar, drowning out the quiet undercurrents of emotional upheaval.

We may find ourselves lost, questioning who we are, grappling with a sense of loss, and battling the unwelcome guests of anxiety and irritability.

Jewel Thief: Self-indulgent stealing story badly let down by silly screenplay

This newly released Netflix crime caper illustrates everything that is currently wrong with commercial Bollywood films. The silly stinker was not good enough for a cinema release, so it was dumped straight on to a streaming platform, with style clearly taking precedence over substance.

Saif Ali Khan plays a suave, globetrotting thief who is blackmailed by a mysterious underworld figure (Jaideep Ahlawat) into stealing a priceless diamond from a museum in Mumbai. Naturally, there is a backstory involving the guilt-ridden protagonist and a law enforcement officer hot on his trail. But instead of offering a gripping battle of attrition or an engaging heist thriller, the film descends into a muddled melting pot of tired clichés and what seem like a series of self-indulgent moments from the lead cast.
