According to reports, Saif Ali Khan has replaced Abhishek Bachchan in an upcoming horror flick titled Tantrik. Bachchan was signed on to play the male lead a couple of months ago, but now the makers are set to take the project forward with the National Film Award-winning actor Saif Ali Khan.

Tantrik will be helmed by filmmaker Pawan Kriplani whose credits include Ragini MMS (2011), Darr @ The Mall (2013) and Phobia (2016). The director is presently busy locking locations. He is also looking for an actress to play the female lead opposite Saif Ali Khan in the movie.

Meanwhile, Khan is presently shooting for the Netflix original Sacred Games 2 simultaneously with Navdeep Singh’s untitled film. He also plays a significant part in superstar Ajay Devgn’s ambitious film project, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior.

Besides Sacred Games 2, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior and now Tantrik, the actor will also be seen in his own production Jawani Janeman. To be helmed by Nitin Kakkar of Filmistaan (2013) fame, Jawani Janeman will launch Pooja Bedi’s daughter Aalia Furniturewalla in Bollywood. The film is expected to start rolling as soon as Kakkar is done with his another film Notebook, produced by superstar Salman Khan.

Abhishek Bachchan, on the other hand, has joined forces with ace filmmaker Anurag Basu for an untitled film.

Simone Ashley cut from Brad Pitt’s 'F1' as director confirms her storyline was removed

Simone Ashley, best known for her breakout role in Bridgerton, won’t have the screen time fans expected in Brad Pitt’s upcoming Formula 1 film F1. Despite being part of the film’s promotional buzz and having filmed scenes alongside the main cast, Ashley’s role was trimmed down to a blink-and-miss appearance with no dialogue.

Director Joseph Kosinski confirmed the change, stating that the edit came down to tough decisions made during the final cut. Speaking in an interview, he said, “Every movie has more content than it can use. We had to drop two or three storylines for pacing. Unfortunately, Simone’s was one of them.”

Randhir Kapoor once called Sunjay Kapur a third-class man and said Karisma may never remarry after divorce

In the wake of businessman Sunjay Kapur’s sudden death on 12 June 2025, attention has turned to Karisma Kapoor’s personal life and her past marriage. The former couple, who tied the knot in 2003, split in 2014 and finalised their divorce in 2016 after a long legal battle. Their marriage had been fraught with tension, and Karisma’s father, veteran actor Randhir Kapoor, had openly voiced his disapproval of the union.

‘She doesn’t need to remarry, she’s content being a mother’

Following their split, Karisma’s name was occasionally linked with businessman Sandeep Toshniwal, though neither ever confirmed a relationship. In a 2017 interview, Randhir Kapoor was asked whether Karisma planned to marry again. He replied that she was happy, settled, and completely devoted to her children, Samaira and Kiaan.
