Rohit Shetty reveals Katrina Kaif plays the role of a doctor in Sooryavanshi

Katrina Kaif was last seen on the big screen in Bharat this year. Her next release will be Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi in which she has teamed up with Akshay Kumar after a gap of a decade.

According to a report in a tabloid, recently, Rohit Shetty came on the show No Filter Neha with Neha Dhupia and revealed that Katrina Kaif plays the role of a doctor in Sooryavanshi. While talking about the actress, Shetty also revealed that she asks a lot of questions.


Rohit said, “She asks a lot of questions... Is this okay, is this right? I tell her that she’s beautiful, but after a point, I just switch off.”

Well, Rohit’s movies don’t have a great role for female leads, but let’s hope that Katrina has a meaty role to play in Sooryavanshi.

The filmmaker is known for making blockbuster movies and all his films have minted a lot of money at the box office. Talking about making big commercial films, he said, “People say that I make commercial films and that I’m a money-spinner but ever since I turned producer, I’ve realised that I’d have incurred huge losses if my films hadn’t crossed the Rs 150 crore mark.”

“From the first day of scripting to the night before the film’s release, my team knows that I can change anything, so they are always on their toes,” Rohit added.

Talking about Sooryavanshi, the film is slated to release on 27th March 2020. Katrina and Akshay will be seen shaking a leg on the recreated version of the song Tip Tip Barsa Paani and we are super excited to watch their chemistry on the big screen.

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.
