Shraddha Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui to pair up for Bole Chudiyaan?

In what could be termed as some good news for the fans of Shraddha Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, an exciting project is being planned, featuring both the talented actors in prominent roles.

Titled Bole Chudiyaan, the film will be directed by Nawaz’s brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui. Shamas will mark his directorial debut with the project. While Nawazuddin is certainly a part of the flick, Shraddha Kapoor has been approached to star opposite him and is yet to sign it on the dotted line.


“Shraddha Kapoor has been approached to play the lead in this film. The makers narrated the story to her and Shraddha, who is keen to do some distinctive roles, has liked the project. However, she has not given her nod yet as she is busy with her other commitments,” a well-placed source reveals.

Shraddha, who was most recently seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018), has some interesting projects on her platter. She is presently shooting for Remo D’souza’s dance film Street Dancer opposite Varun Dhawan.

Her much-awaited action entertainer Saaho with southern superstar Prabhas is scheduled to release soon. She is also working on Amol Gupte’s Saina, a biopic on ace Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal.

If Shraddha agrees to come onboard for Bole Chudiyaan, it will mark her first collaboration with award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

More details on the project are awaited.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
