Riteish Deshmukh and Tiger Shroff are like Ram and Lakhan in Baaghi 3, reveals writer Farhad Samji

Baaghi 3 is one of the most awaited films of 2020. The movie stars Tiger Shroff, Riteish Deshmukh, Shraddha Kapoor, and Ankita Lokhande. The shooting of the film kickstarted a few weeks ago in Mumbai.

The movie is written by writer-turned-director Farhad Samji, and while talking to a tabloid, he revealed that Riteish and Tiger are like Ram and Lakhan in the movie. Samji also stated that though the film is an action-thriller it will have a pinch of comedy in it.


He said, “Riteish has always been known for his comedy, yet he impressed as the psychopathic antagonist in Ek Villain. Unlike the previous two instalments, Baaghi 3 has a generous dose of humour and the character Riteish portrays complements his comic timing, It slips into serious action after a certain incident and Riteish is one of the catalysts in the plot. He and Tiger are like the Ram and Lakhan of our film."

Further praising Tiger, Farhad said, “Tiger possesses the lethal combination of aggression on-screen and humility off it. He is a sorted kid, with lots of promise and is a huge hit with youngsters. I am impressed with the way he gives his 100 percent to all his films.”

Even Shraddha Kapoor has a strong role in the film. The actress will be portraying the character of an air hostess in the film. Samji reveals, “This girl is a gutsy and free-spirited character. She also shares an interesting relationship with Riteish in the film as he is not just Tiger’s brother but married to Shraddha’s sister (played by Ankita Lokhande).”

Baaghi 3 is the remake of Tamil film Vettai which starred Arya, R. Madhavan, Sameera Reddy, and Amala Paul in the lead roles. The film did quite well at the box office and Madhavan won Best Supporting Actor award at 2nd South Indian International Movie Awards. Baaghi 3 will hit the screens in March next year.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.

The ECB’s decision follows a UK Supreme Court ruling last month which stated that the legal definition of a "woman" is based on a person’s sex at birth and does not include transgender women who hold a gender recognition certificate.

Lancashire bats for Indian board to join The Hundred

THE England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should offer the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) a minority ownership stake in The Hundred to attract Indian players to the competition, Lancashire CEO Daniel Gidney has suggested.

“I think it’s possible. If I was the ECB, I’d be talking about perhaps bringing the BCCI in as a minority ownership partner in the tournament as a whole. If you do that, then you are aligning interests,” Gidney told the ESPNCricinfo website.
