Shahid Kapoor on matching high expectations post Kabir Singh’s success

Last seen in Kabir Singh (2019), which turned out to be a huge money spinner at the box-office, Shahid Kapoor is presently busy preparing for his next offering. Just like Kabir Singh, which was an official remake of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy (2017), his next film is also a remake of yet another Telugu hit Jersey (2019) which entered theatres earlier this year.

At an award function, when Shahid Kapoor was asked what attracted him so much to the Jersey remake that he gave his nod to star in, he said that he wanted to do an original film after Kabir Singh so that people do not think he is choosing only remakes. But when he happened to watch Jersey, it touched his heart.


The actor also added that he cried four times while watching it. "I felt I should take this story to people because even I have been through weak moments when I used to feel ‘Should I try something else? It’s not happening here.’ But acting is the only thing I know and love,” said Shahid Kapoor.

After the earth-shattering success of Kabir Singh, people have high expectations from Shahid Kapoor and the actor knows it well. "After Kabir Singh, it feels like ‘What will be the right film? What will be the expectations of the audience? If I can match those expectations because people have loved it so much. I have never got so much love before, so, I really don’t know,” said the actor in conclusion.

The Jersey remake is being helmed by Gowtam Tinnanauri who also directed the original film in Telugu. Super 30 (2019) fame Mrunal Thakur has been roped in to play the female lead in the movie, Shahid Kapoor real-life father Pankaj Kapur has come onboard to play his reel-life father. The remake is scheduled to release in August 2020.

Amber Heard embraces a new identity as she steps away from the Hollywood spotlight

Did Amber Heard change her name to escape Hollywood for good?

Amber Heard has left her Hollywood life behind, embracing a fresh start in Spain under a new identity—Martha Jane Cannary. This transformation comes after years of intense public scrutiny, particularly following her highly publicised legal battles with ex-husband Johnny Depp. Now, she seems determined to carve out a new, quieter existence, far from the relentless media circus that once defined her life.

But why the name Martha Jane Cannary? The choice is no coincidence. It was the real name of Calamity Jane, the legendary frontierswoman known for her defiant spirit, independence, and refusal to conform to societal norms. Some speculate that Heard sees herself as a modern-day version of this rebellious figure, someone who has faced public trials and emerged on her own terms. Others believe the name change is a strategic move, allowing her to detach from her past and reinvent herself in a more private setting. Either way, it seems like a conscious effort to shed her former identity and embrace a new chapter.

Ncuti Gatwa's exit sparks cancellation fears amid 'Doctor Who' ratings drop

The BBC has firmly denied claims that Doctor Who is facing cancellation, but speculation continues to swirl around Ncuti Gatwa’s future as the show’s lead. Rumours surfaced this week suggesting the 32-year-old actor, who took on the iconic role in 2023, may leave the series after just two seasons. Reports allege that Gatwa has already filmed his final scenes and plans to exit at the end of the upcoming 15th season, sparking concerns about the show’s longevity.

Despite a recent partnership with Disney+, Doctor Who has struggled to maintain its once-massive audience. Recent episodes have drawn just 3.5 million viewers, a far cry from its peak popularity. This decline has fuelled fears that the series, which first aired in the 1960s, could be axed once again. However, the BBC has dismissed these claims, stating that no decision about the show’s future will be made until after the second season airs. A spokesperson emphasised that the Disney deal includes 26 episodes, half of which are yet to be broadcast.
