Sara Ali Khan to test for Varun Dhawan’s Rannbhoomi?

Sara Ali Khan is literally on a roll! Her first two films – Kedarnath (2018) and Simmba (2018) – turned out to be huge money spinners at the cash counter and established her as a promising newcomer.

Soon after the success of her second release Simmba, she signed on her third film with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, which co-stars Kartik Aaryan. While the untitled film is still being shot, she has been confirmed to play the female lead in David Dhawan’s remake of Coolie No. 1 (1995), which stars Varun Dhawan as the male lead.


The latest we hear that Sara Ali Khan is about to test for Dharma Productions’ much-talked-about war period drama, Rannbhoomi. If the actress cracks the look test, it will be her second film with Karan Johar’s banner after Simmba.

“Sara is shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s film with Kartik Aaryan at the moment. Once she is done shooting for the film, she will be giving a look test for the film which will determine her being confirmed, and the official announcement will be made post that,” a source in the know divulges.

Rannbhoomi, which was announced in 2018, will be directed by Shashank Khaitan, who has previously made Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) and Dhadak (2018) for Dharma Productions.

Earlier the film was set to mount last year only, but due to various reasons, it was put on the backburner for some time. Now it seems that the makers are set to bring the project on the track once again.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
