Kiara Advani will join Kartik Aaryan on the cast of Sajid Nadiadwala’s next production venture, to be directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sameer Vidwans. Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Namah Pictures will jointly bankroll the untitled epic love story which begins filming in December 2021. Advani and Aaryan are currently starring in Anees Bazmee’s much-awaited upcoming horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

A source close to the development informs a publication, “It is a love story set in the heartland of India and the makers were on the lookout for a fresh pairing. That is when Sameer, Sajid and other stakeholders decided on Kiara Advani. The actress too is all excited for her maiden collaboration with Sajid and a reunion with Kartik after Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.”


The source goes on to add that both actors will first finish their ongoing projects before moving on to Nadiadwala’s next. “Both Kartik and Kiara will complete their present commitments before moving onto this yet-untitled film. While Kartik’s character is called Satya, Kiara’s name in the film is Katha. The film is essentially a love story of Satya and Katha,” the source adds.

The source further says that the makers are paying full attention to each and every detail related to the film. They are also working towards creating a brilliant soundtrack for the film. “Any love story is incomplete without the music and the team is working towards creating a brilliant soundtrack for Satya and Katha’s love story,” the source shares.

Meanwhile, Kiara Advani has multiple projects in the pipeline. She recently onboarded acclaimed filmmaker Shankar’s pan-India film with Ram Charan. Buzz has it that she also stars in Shankar’s official Hindi remake of Anniyan (2005) with Ranveer Singh.

Humayun Saeed opens up on 'Love Guru' and Pakistani cinema’s success

From commanding television screens in powerful dramas to headlining box office hits, the acclaimed actor and producer has built a formidable reputation through instinct, charm, and a commitment to relatable storytelling. Along the way, he has picked up numerous awards, loyal audiences across the globe, and even crossed into international territory with his nuanced portrayal of Dr Hasnat Khan – Princess Diana’s real-life love interest – in the globally acclaimed Netflix series The Crown.

Now, Saeed returns to the big screen with this week’s Eid al-Adha release Love Guru. The romantic comedy, opposite Mahira Khan, features him as a matchmaker-turned-marriage-saboteur on a surprisingly unorthodox mission of love. Extensively shot in the UK and laced with a contemporary sensibility, the Nadeem Baig-directed comedy marks a distinct tonal shift for an actor best known for culturally rooted blockbusters.

Thug Life reviews say Kamal Haasan shines but Mani Ratnam’s gangster epic falls flat


Thug Life brings together two giants of Indian cinema, director Mani Ratnam and actor Kamal Haasan, for the first time since their 1987 classic Nayakan. Hopes were understandably sky-high, especially following Ratnam’s recent success with the Ponniyin Selvan films. Unfortunately, the film struggles to match the weight of its own ambition.

A promising start with technical brilliance

The film opens with style. A gritty voiceover by Haasan sets the tone, followed by a black-and-white flashback in Old Delhi that is visually stunning and thematically rich. Ravi K Chandran’s cinematography and A. Sreekar Prasad’s editing stand out, creating a slick first act filled with betrayal, tension, and dramatic flair.
