Parineeti Chopra swings into action for The Girl On The Train remake

Actress Parineeti Chopra, who was most recently seen in a brief role in superstar Akshay Kumar’s patriotic drama Kesari (2019), has some exciting projects lined up for release in 2019 and 2020. One of her upcoming films that everyone is eagerly waiting for is the official remake of Hollywood biggie The Girl On The Train (2016).

Earlier, Jacqueline Fernandez was set to play the female lead in the project. However, the Race 3 (2018) actress bowed out of the movie owing to some creative differences. Her exit paved the way for Parineeti Chopra to come onboard and headline the yet-to-be-titled film.


If the latest Instagram post on Chopra’s account is anything to go by, the gorgeous actress has just started preparing for her role in the remake. Taking to Instagram, Parineeti shared a picture of the script of the film alongside her favourite coffee mug which she has kept with her for the past 7 years now.

Parineeti wrote on Instagram, "Prep Girl On The Train (Also meet my 7 yr. old coffee mug that I cannot live without! I use it every day. Take it everywhere. It was @thisissahajchopra‘s first ever gift to me, so it’s super, super special.)"

The Girl On The Train is based on the 2015 bestseller by Paula Hawkins. Speaking about getting the plum role in the remake, Parineeti had earlier said, "It is a privilege for me to play the character that she (Emily Blunt) has essayed so brilliantly on screen. The restrain and range she showed as an actor while playing a girl who is troubled and battling herself in the film showed what a fantastic actor she is.”

Besides The Girl On The Train, Parineeti Chopra will also be seen in such hotly anticipated films as Jabariya Jodi, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Saina and an untitled film with director Anurag Basu.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
