Rohit Shetty hires Farah Khan to helm the biggest action entertainer for his banner

Just like any other filmmaker in the world, Rohit Shetty also wants to tell as many unique stories to the audience as possible. Since he cannot direct all stories on his own, he has now teamed up with renowned choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah Khan to do the job.

Yes, you heard that absolutely right! Rohit Shetty has just signed Farah Khan to direct the biggest action comedy film under his production house, Rohit Shetty Picturez. Farah last helmed the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Happy New Year (2014), which turned out to be a massive hit at the box-office upon its release.


Commenting on her maiden collaboration with Rohit Shetty, Farah said, “Sometimes the Universe just conspires to give you what you didn’t even imagine…Together with Rohit, Who I genuinely love as a brother, and whose work ethic I respect and share, I can only promise a ‘Mother of all Entertainers’! Can’t wait to say “Roll Camera” for this one!!”

“It’s a privilege for my production company to have Farah onboard to direct a film for us as she is extremely talented and hard working. It will definitely be a wonderful association. I can’t wait to start work with this extremely talented powerhouse. Looking forward,” shared excited Rohit.

Talking about Rohit’s next directorial venture, he has joined forces with superstar Akshay Kumar for a cop drama, titled Sooryavanshi. The film will mount the shooting floor as soon as the female lead in finalized.

Sooryavanshi is slated to buzz into cinemas in December this year.

Tom Jones's "refresh" excuse isn't new, ITV used it on Anne-Marie too

Highlights:

  • Sir Tom Jones says ITV fired him from The Voice UK, ending an association with the show that's run on and off since its 2012 launch.
  • In a statement posted to social media, Jones said the reason given was "a financial difficulty with insurance," and that a new coaching line-up left no chair for him.
  • ITV has reportedly lined up Aitch and Cheryl Tweedy as new coaches, alongside returning names Kelly Rowland and will.i.am, as part of a wider panel refresh.

Tom Jones didn't find out from ITV directly, or at least not in a way he felt was clear enough. The 86-year-old singer has revealed he's been fired from The Voice UK, in a statement that made plain he wasn't the one who chose to go.

What did Tom Jones actually say?

He was direct about it. "I did not want to leave The Voice," Jones wrote, insisting the decision was ITV's alone, made some time ago and only communicated to him recently. He said the reason given was an insurance issue, before ITV's own public framing shifted to wanting a "refresh" of the coaching panel, one that left no seat for him. He was offered a smaller role instead, appearing occasionally rather than coaching from the start of the series, an offer he said he wasn't thrilled about. He closed his statement with a pointed observation about his age, essentially noting that there's simply no good moment to let go of someone in his late eighties who's still doing the job well.
