Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar and Katrina Kaif are all set to team up for a superhero film. The movie has been in the news from the day it has been announced and Katrina’s fans have been eagerly waiting to see her in the superhero avatar.


Recently, while talking to ETimes, Ali revealed that there won’t be any male lead paired opposite Katrina in the film. He said, "Well, I don't need a man opposite Katrina in this film. She herself is the hero as well. This film will be mounted on a huge scale and will be very new and different. Katrina won't have a romantic track in it."

The filmmaker further revealed that it will take more six months for the film to go on the floors. Ali said, "There's still a lot of prep work left in the preproduction stages which we are currently in. Anyway, I have decided that it will be Poland, Georgia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Uttarakhand where I will shoot the film."

Ali and Katrina are very good friends and have earlier worked together in films like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Tiger Zinda Hai, and Bharat.

Talking about other projects of Katrina, the actress is awaiting the release of Sooryavanshi. The movie, which also stars Akshay Kumar, was slated to release in March this year but due to the pandemic, the film has been postponed, and now, the makers are planning to release it next year.

Katrina also has a film titled PhoneBhoot in her kitty. Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, the movie also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter.

The game's global governing body said last Sunday (13) it would set up a dedicated fund to support the Afghan women, most of whom have resettled in Australia after fleeing Afghanistan when the Taliban swept to power in 2021.

Ananya Panday makes history as Chanel’s first Indian brand ambassador

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has just landed a major global milestone; she is now the first Indian to officially represent French fashion house Chanel. At 26, she has carved a niche for herself not just in Indian cinema but also as a rising style icon. This move is in fact a turning point for both her career and Chanel’s growing focus on India as a key luxury market.

However, the decision does not come as a surprise to those who have been watching her closely. Ananya has been increasingly associated with Chanel over the past year from attending their Spring Summer 2025 show in Paris to being styled in the brand for Vogue India and Grazia India covers. She was also seen at high profile events like BoF’s Mumbai dinner, often dressed in Chanel, subtly hinting at a growing relationship with the brand.
