Manushi Chillar not roped in for Prithviraj Chauhan?

Of late, 2017 Miss World Manushi Chillar has been rumoured to be entering filmdom with Yash Raj Films’ ambitious project Prithviraj Chauhan. However, if a well-placed source is to be believed, she is not doing the high-profile film.

Prithviraj Chauhan, which is a historical film, stars superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead role. The project will be helmed by filmmaker Chandraprakash Dwivedi. Besides Kumar and Dwivedi, no other person has been signed for the movie so far.


“The lady that you mention has not been considered, let alone approached for Prithviraj Chauhan. So far, the project only has director Chandraprakash Dwivedi and Akshay Kumar on board. The lead actress has not been discussed. But it is unlikely to be a newcomer,” lets out the source.

Before Prithviraj Chauhan, Manushi Chillar was rumoured to be making her debut opposite Ranveer Singh. But later it turned out that no such project had been planned. It looks like the former beauty queen will have to wait a little longer to take a dive into showbiz.

Meanwhile, Prithviraj Chauhan is expected to start rolling in 2020.

'Resident Evil' trailer repositions the franchise around Austin Abrams’ civilian lead

Highlights

  • Austin Abrams leads the reboot as an ordinary courier caught in chaos
  • Zach Cregger directs a new story with no legacy characters
  • Franchise worth over £950 million globally takes a more grounded approach

An unlikely lead at the centre of horror

The new trailer for Resident Evil shifts the focus away from seasoned fighters and places Austin Abrams at the heart of the outbreak. Playing a courier who stumbles into a crisis in Raccoon City, Abrams represents a different kind of protagonist for the franchise.

There are no familiar heroes this time. Instead, the story follows someone with no experience of survival or combat, caught in a situation that rapidly spirals beyond control. The approach changes the tone, turning the narrative into something more immediate and less predictable.
