Last seen in Eros International and Colour Yellow Productions’ Laal Kaptaan (2019), Saif Ali Khan has some interesting projects lined-up for release in 2020. He will start his New Year with the release of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior wherein he is playing the antagonist. Made under the banner of Ajay Devgn Ffilms, the historical drama also features superstar Ajay Devgn and Kajol in lead roles. The Om Raut directorial is scheduled to hit the marquee on 10th January, 2020.

Exactly a month after the release of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Khan will be seen in his home production Jawaani Jaaneman, co-starring Alaia Furniturewala and Tabu. The film marks the acting debut of Alaia Furniturewala who is the daughter of former model and actress Pooja Bedi. Jawaani Jaaneman enters theatres on 7th February, 2020.


Jawaani Jaaneman is expected to be followed by the premiere of Amazon Prime Video’s next original series Tandav, wherein Saif Ali Khan plays an ambitious politician. Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar of Sultan (2016), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Bharat (2019) fame is calling the shots for the project.

The latest we hear that Saif Ali Khan has just joined Rani Mukerji and Siddhant Chaturvedi on the cast of Bunty Aur Babli 2, a sequel to Yash Raj Films’ superhit crime romantic comedy Bunty Aur Babli (2005), originally starring Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in central characters.

While the original film was directed by filmmaker Shaad Ali, the sequel will be helmed by Varun V Sharma who has earlier written Sultan for Yash Raj Films. Apart from Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji and Siddhant Chaturvedi, Bunty Aur Babli 2 also features debutante Sharvari Wagh. Character details have yet not been revealed.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
