Katrina Kaif calls Sooryavanshi a dream team

Katrina Kaif is over the moon after the huge success of her latest release Bharat (2019). Starring Salman Khan in the lead role, Bharat was helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar with whom Kat had previously worked on two successful films such as Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011). The success of Bharat has undoubtedly brought the actress back in the reckoning as her brand had suffered a lot after the failure of biggies like Thugs of Hindostan (2018) and Zero (2018) the previous year.

After the success of Bharat, Katrina Kaif has joined forces with superstar Akshay Kumar for the upcoming cop-drama Sooryavanshi. The film reunites both the actor after a decade having been last seen together in Farah Khan’s heist drama Tees Maar Khan (2010). Sooryavanshi also marks their first collaboration with hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty.

Katrina Kaif, who has been shooting for the film for the past few weeks now, is all praises about her experience so far. “Sooryavanshi has a really interesting story and I have always loved Rohit’s films. Akshay and I reunite for the film and we have worked in some great films in the past. It’s a dream team and I am happy to be a part of it,” said the actress to a newswire.

Apart from Sooryavanshi, Katrina Kaif has no other Hindi film in her kitty at the moment. However, speculations are rife that she is set to reteam with choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan to star in the official remake of the1982 cult film Satte Pe Satta, originally starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in lead roles. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is expected to play the lead role in the remake. However, no official announcement has been made so far in this regard.

Swift breaks down after private meeting

Taylor Swift is shown in tears in backstage footage after meeting survivors and families connected to the Southport stabbing attack. The private meeting took place months after the July 2024 incident, which happened at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop and claimed the lives of three young girls.
In the footage, Swift cries in her dressing room as her mother, Andrea, tries to comfort her. Already dressed for the show, she then prepares to perform a three-and-a-half-hour set at London’s Wembley Stadium. Speaking later at the New York premiere of her six-part Disney+ documentary, she says she felt a duty to create “some form of escape” for fans following the tragedy.

Navigating fear and responsibility

Swift says performing after the attack required emotional stamina. The series shows her reflecting on the pressures of her job, explaining that she must both process her feelings and keep lifting her energy for the crowd. The Wembley concert also marked her return to the stage after cancelling three shows in Vienna because of a terrorist threat. She says her team had “dodged a massacre situation” after the CIA uncovered a plot to detonate a bomb at the venue. After two decades of performing, Swift admits that fearing for her fans’ safety is a new and unsettling reality.
