According to reports, Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt has been approached to play an important role in Telugu film Ayinanu Hastinaku Poyi Ravale.
To be directed by successful filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas, Ayinanu Hastinaku Poyi Ravale stars Tollywood superstar Jr. NTR in the lead role. The forthcoming film will mark his second association with director Trivikram Srinivas. The duo has previously worked together on Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018).
Reportedly, Ayinanu Hastinaku Poyi Ravale is a political drama and the character which has been offered to Sanjay Dutt is of a powerful politician with grey shades.
We also hear that apart from Sanjay Dutt, the upcoming movie will have a few more actors from Bollywood. It is a two-heroine project and Janhvi Kapoor and Pooja Hegde have reportedly been approached to play the female leads opposite Jr. NTR. However, there has been no official confirmation on the casting as yet.
Jr. NTR is currently busy with his much-awaited film RRR alongside Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt. He will start shooting for Ayinanu Hastinaku Poyi Ravale only after wrapping up the S. S. Rajamouli directorial. RRR is scheduled for its theatrical release on 8th January, 2021.
On the work front, Sanjay Dutt, who was last seen in Ashutosh Gowariker’s period drama Panipat (2019), has his plate full with some high-profile projects, including Sadak 2, Shamshera, Prithviraj, Torbaaz and KGF: Chapter 2.
KGF: Chapter 2 is yet another South Indian film wherein Dutt will be seen in an out-and-out negative avatar. The actor plays the character of Adheera in the Prashanth Neel directorial, which also features Kannada star Yash and Raveena Tandon in lead roles. KGF: Chapter 2, a sequel to KGF: Chapter 1 (2018), is a multilingual film.
Kajol and Twinkle Khanna respond to backlash
Kajol and Twinkle Khanna address chat show backlash in new Prime Video episode
Highlights:
The backlash around Kajol and Twinkle Khanna's show Two Much did not suddenly appear one morning. You could feel it brewing from the first few episodes through tiny comments here and there turning into bigger conversations online. The marriage bit especially set things off; one short clip, and the whole thing snowballed. In the new bonus episode, shot after filming ended, the two finally spoke about the moment after weeks of noise.
Why the Kajol Twinkle Khanna backlash picked up so fast
The show ran on loose talk, quick lines, and a lot of teasing. It worked early on. Then came the episode with Vicky Kaushal and Kriti Sanon, where Kajol said marriages should have an expiry date and maybe even a renewal.
From there, it only grew. Another episode with Janhvi Kapoor and Karan Johar brought the debate on infidelity back into circulation. Kajol, Twinkle, and Karan said physical cheating was not a deal breaker for them. Janhvi pushed back and viewers argued for days. The backlash stuck, partly because clips were lifted out of context and partly because celebrity comments carry weight, even when framed as jokes.
How Kajol and Twinkle explained themselves
In the bonus episode, Kajol did not pretend everything was normal. She opened the segment with a half-laugh and said, “Now it’s time for our next segment, which has gotten us into a lot of trouble.” It sounded like a joke, but it was not entirely one. There was a slight crack of irritation or maybe tiredness underneath.
Twinkle followed with a straight note; they should have had a disclaimer from episode one. “Nothing we say in this segment should be taken seriously,” she said. “Please do not follow any of our advice.”
Both insisted the tone was always meant to be playful. Not expert talk. Not life lessons. Just two women poking fun at how people think about marriage, relationships, and the messy bits in between.

What this means for the show now
Prime Video dropped the bonus episode with Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma in a way that almost felt strategic, like a small reset button to cool the temperature without actually issuing a statement or apology.
And honestly, the guest list this season was stacked in a very “this should be safe” way: Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha, Janhvi Kapoor. Big names, familiar energy. Nobody expected the backlash to come from them. It came from the little throwaway lines Kajol and Twinkle said around them.
What is next for Kajol and Twinkle?
No word yet on season two. Both seemed unfazed in the episode, almost amused by how far the clips travelled. They did not promise changes either. Just a note that their humour was not meant to be instruction.
Kajol ended the segment with a small smile. Twinkle nodded along. And that is where it sat. Two women, a chat show, and a storm they did not expect but chose to address head-on before signing off.
