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 KiDulhan (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.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
