Parineeti Chopra opts out of Bhuj: The Pride Of India?

Parineeti Chopra was all set to star in Bhuj: The Pride Of India, but the actress has reportedly opted out of the film due to date issues. It is said that she couldn’t star in the film as her dates were overlapping with her other movies like Saina and The Girl On The Train.

A source told a daily, “It is really unfortunate. There is a massive date issue and she will unfortunately not be able to match the Bhuj shoot dates. She was really excited to do the project but given her commitments on Saina and Girl on the Train overlapping massively, she is not being able to carve out dates for Bhuj.”


Well, Bhuj: The Pride Of India is a multi-starrer and also stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, and Rana Daggubati. The shooting of the film kickstarted a few months ago and looks like Parineeti was yet to shoot for the movie. We now wonder which actress will replace Parineeti in the film.

This year, Parineeti was seen in two films, Kesari and Jabariya Jodi. In the former, it was an extended cameo for her, and the film was a super hit at the box office. However, Jabariya Jodi failed to make a mark at the box office. The actress also has a film titled Sandeep Aur Pink Faraar ready for a release, but the movie is yet to see the light of the day. Talking about Saina, the movie is a biopic on badminton player Saina Nehwal and The Girl On The Train is a remake of a Hollywood film that also had the same title.

Bhuj: The Pride of India is based on Indo-Pak war of 1971. The movie is slated to release on 14th August 2020.

Why Britain must make social media lawful again

THIS must be a “tipping point” for the rule of law online, technology secretary Liz Kendall told the House of Commons earlier this week. X owner Elon Musk’s Grok AI tool helped that site’s users make sexist harassment the viral new year trend of 2026. Politicians across the world declared it was “appalling” and “unacceptable”. The challenge is to turn that declaratory rhetoric into action. Britain’s media regulator Ofcom will open a formal investigation.

The controversy has illuminated again how US billionaire businessman Musk takes a “pick and mix” approach as to which laws he thinks should apply to him and his companies. Even libertarian site owners tend to recognise some responsibility to remove child sexual abuse. But Musk was laughing about the nudification trend. He is contemptuous about laws curbing hate crime and the incitement of violence, saying they are signs Britain has a “fascist” government which must be overthrown. What is vital is that our government and regulators do not risk emulating Musk’s “pick and mix” approach to when unlawful content really matters. Ofcom states it will not “hesitate to investigate” when it suspects companies are failing in their duties “especially where there’s a risk of harm to children”. This will be a popular public priority. Ofcom must this year show parliamentarians and the public that it can find the bandwidth and capacity to insist on sites meeting all of their legal duties.
