Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s next to go on the floors in November?

It was in 2018 when Luv Ranjan announced a film with Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor as the male leads. There were reports that Deepika Padukone might join the film to play the female lead. However, it never went on the floors, and there was no development about it.

Last year, it was reported that Ajay has walked out of the film, and Deepika has also decided to not star in the movie. Well then, it was said that Ranjan has shelved the movie and will make another film with Ranbir. Soon, there were reports that Shraddha Kapoor will be seen playing the film lead in the movie.

A source told the portal, “Come this November, Ranbir Kapoor will team up with Shraddha Kapoor to kick off Luv Ranjan’s much-awaited romantic film in Mumbai. It will be a brief schedule to start with, more of a test shoot to get hang of the guidelines, rules and regulations, and safety protocols to be followed for shooting in the midst of a pandemic. Following the Mumbai schedule, the team will fly off abroad for a marathon shoot.

“It’s all uncertain at this point of time and one can’t promise on exact timelines, but the tentative idea is to wrap up by April. It’s a romantic comedy and shooting shouldn’t take a lot of time unlike other films of Ranbir like Shamshera and Brahmastra. Ranbir will start one more film in April, the modalities of which are being worked upon at the moment,” added the source.

Talking about Ranbir and Shraddha’s characters, the source said, “Shraddha plays the character of a waitress in the film, while Ranbir plays the lover boy winning over the lady with his charm.”

Well, this will be for the first time Ranbir and Shraddha will be starring in a film together. We are sure their fans are excited about the two actors collaborating for a movie.

Government considers £100 weekly payments to move asylum seekers out of hotels

Highlights

  • Asylum seekers could receive £100 per week on top of existing £49.18 support to leave hotels.
  • Currently over 32,000 migrants housed in 200 hotels costing £145 per night or £5.5 m daily.
  • Separate scheme offers up to £3,000 to asylum seekers willing to return to home countries.
The government is considering paying asylum seekers £100 a week to leave taxpayer-funded hotels and live with family or friends in the UK. Home Office officials have proposed the scheme as part of prime minister Keir Starmer's drive to accelerate the closure of asylum hotels. The weekly payment would come on top of the existing £49.18 support for living costs that migrants in hotels currently receive. The plan, set to be trialled in 2026, could reduce accommodation costs to a seventh of current spending. More than 32,000 migrants are currently housed in 200 hotels at an average cost of £145 per night or £1,015 a week. This compares with £23.25 a night for other dispersal accommodation in communities. The total bill for asylum hotels stands at £5.5 m a day, or £2.1 bn a year. Labour has pledged to stop their use by the end of this term in 2029, though suggestions indicate Starmer has privately set a one-year target.


The government has earmarked two former military barracks in Inverness, Scotland, and Crowborough, East Sussex, to house 900 migrants from the end of November as part of the hotel closure plan.
