Laal Singh Chaddha to include a track on Coronavirus pandemic?

There is no denying the fact that the ongoing Coronavirus crisis has affected our lives in ways more than one. The pandemic may disappear from the face of the earth in some months, but its effects are going to be there for years to come.

There are a couple of filmmakers and writers in Bollywood, who are busy writing new stories against the backdrop of COVID-19. The latest we hear that the ongoing pandemic may find a mention in superstar Aamir Khan’s next film Laal Singh Chaddha. Yes, you read that right! Reportedly, the team is using the current break from shooting to update the script and include the Coronavirus pandemic in the story.


“It is self-evident that a film on the important historical happenings cannot be complete without communicating the Corona crisis. The shooting that is now halted would resume once the lockdown is over, with fresh inputs in the screenplay,” a source in the know informed an entertainment portal.

Laal Singh Chaddha, which is a remake of the classic Hollywood film Forrest Gump (1994), covers significant events of Indian history from 1947 until now. Aamir Khan will be seen in multiple avatars in the movie as his get-up keeps changing as the narrative progresses. Kareena Kapoor Khan, who last worked with the superstar in Talaash (2012), plays the female lead.

Advait Chandan, who made his directorial debut with Aamir Khan’s superhit film Secret Superstar (2017), is directing the high-profile film from the screenplay written by actor-writer Atul Kulkarni. Laal Singh Chaddha, produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Viacome18 Motion Pictures, is scheduled to release on Christmas 2020. However, a shift in its release date is likely due to the delay in shooting.

Justin Bieber’s cryptic father’s Day posts and paparazzi outburst spark concern among fans

Bieber posted over a dozen updates in a matter of hours, many of them laced with frustration. One post read, “Happy daddy day to me u lil ho,” while another simply stated, “quit f–ing with me. I’m really not the one.” Accompanying the messages were moody selfies and a video of him silently shaking his head with the caption “how I feel about you.”

The timing raised even more eyebrows. Just days earlier, Justin had an angry confrontation with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu. When one photographer wished him a happy Father’s Day, Bieber snapped: “You don’t go to people you don’t know and say sh–t out of nowhere with a camera in their face.” He went on to say, “I’m a father. I’m a dad. You guys are on private property.”

The TV show that impressed Christopher Nolan: “Unlike anything I’ve ever seen”

Canadian comedian and writer Nathan Fielder has long been known for his unconventional television work. Gaining recognition through Nathan for You, Fielder built a reputation for creating boundary-pushing, satirical content that blurred the lines between reality and performance. One of the most talked-about episodes involved a frozen yoghurt flavour that deliberately tasted unpleasant, while The Rehearsal, another of his projects, explored the complexities of human behaviour by meticulously recreating real-life scenarios to prepare people for difficult conversations or events.

Fielder’s work often revolves around themes of performance in everyday life, the blending of public and private personas, and the anxiety surrounding authenticity. His limited media presence and rare interviews add to the intrigue, leaving audiences unsure whether he is playing a version of himself or deliberately maintaining a fictional persona.
