Kiara Advani is surely one of the busiest actresses. She has given one of the biggest hits of the year with Kabir Singh and has interesting projects lined up. She will next be seen on the big screen in Good News which also stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Diljit Dosanjh. Apart from Good News, she has Laxmmi Bomb, Shershaah and Indu Ki Jawani in her kitty.
Now, according to a report in a tabloid, the actress has been roped in to star in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Earlier, there were reports that the makers are considering Sara Ali Khan or Ananya Panday to play the female lead. However, now it is said that Kiara has been finalised.
A source told the tabloid, “The film is expected to go on the floors in October. It is currently in the pre-production stage. Reading sessions will begin closer to the first schedule.”
Well, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar and co-produced by Murad Khetani. Both of them had also produced Kabir Singh, so we won’t be surprised if this report turns out to be true. Also, it will surely be interesting to watch Kiara Advani romance Kartik Aaryan in the film. It will be a fresh pairing.
While Bhool Bhulaiyaa was directed by Priyadarshan, the sequel will be helmed by Anees Bazmee. The first instalment starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in the lead roles and was a super hit at the box office. Reportedly, Akshay will have a cameo in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, but the makers have not yet confirmed about it.
INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi celebrated Diwali with naval personnel aboard aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, describing it as a symbol of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India).
Modi arrived on Sunday (19) evening and boarded the home-built carrier off Goa's coast following a discreet journey. Onboard the vessel, he visited the flight deck surrounded by MiG 29K fighter aircraft and observed multiple takeoff and landing operations conducted both during daylight and darkness.
The programme included a performance by Navy officers and sailors who sang patriotic compositions. One song, specially written by personnel, commemorated Operation Sindoor's success by the Indian Armed Forces. Modi shared dinner with naval staff during the Bara Khana, engaging with members and their families.
On Monday (20) morning, the prime minister participated in a yoga session on deck and witnessed a flypast featuring warships and aircraft. He subsequently addressed the assembled personnel and distributed sweets.

"INS Vikrant is not merely a warship. It represents 21st-century India's work, talent and commitment," Modi said during his address.
He highlighted the strategic significance of Brahmos missiles, noting their international demand. Multiple countries now seek to purchase the systems, Modi added.
Reflecting on his experience, Modi said: "My night aboard INS Vikrant is difficult to convey. The energy you demonstrated was remarkable. When I heard you sing patriotic songs, particularly your account of Operation Sindoor, no words can fully express what a serviceman experiences on duty. My Diwali has been special spending it amongst you."
INS Vikrant, commissioned in 2022, is India's first home-built aircraft carrier and the nation's second operational carrier following INS Vikramaditya, which was constructed on a Russian platform. The vessel ranks as the largest warship built in India.
Modi has observed Diwali with the armed forces annually since 2014, continuing the tradition that connects political leadership with defence personnel during the festival.
