Last seen in Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (2018), Sonakshi Sinha has added yet another exciting project to her pocket. The actress has been cast to play the female lead in an upcoming slice-of-life movie which also stars Varun Sharma, Annu Kapoor, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Nadira Babbar in its cast.

The untitled film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar, Mahaveer Jain and director-turned-producer Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. Shilpi Dasgupta will be making her directorial debut with it. The movie is set to go on floors in Punjab on 25th January.

The story of the film unfolds in Hoshiyarpur, Punjab. Sonakshi will be seen in the role of a carefree, free-spirited girl who can go to any lengths when it comes to bringing joy to her family, even if it means sacrificing her own dreams.

Talking about her character in the film, Sinha says, “I am extremely happy to be part of this film which is so close to the world around us, to step into the shoes of a small town girl, and face the hilarious, madcap challenges thrown at her. Full of flavour, fun and emotions, I am so looking forward to beginning this journey.”

Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha is busy wrapping up her next release Kalank. The period drama is being helmed by Abhishek Verman and also stars Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles. Kalank is set to releases on 19th April, 2019.

Anurag Kashyap booked for 'will urinate on Brahmins' comment, apologises for crossing the line

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is at the centre of a legal and public controversy after his social media comment targeting the Brahmin community triggered backlash and police action. A formal complaint was lodged in Raipur by Pandit Neelkanth Tripathi, a key member of the Rashtriya Brahman Mahasangh, prompting local police to file an FIR under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly promoting disharmony and offending religious sentiments.

Kashyap’s remark, made in response to a social media user who insulted him, was widely seen as offensive and derogatory towards Brahmins. The filmmaker admitted to responding in anger and acknowledged that his choice of words was inappropriate. In his apology, Kashyap said he acted out of character and hurt not just the community but also people close to him. “In the heat of the moment, I lost my temper and said things I shouldn’t have,” he wrote, stressing that many Brahmins have been part of his personal and professional life.

Oscar rule change confirms AI-generated films are now eligible for top awards

The Oscars have opened the door to films made with the help of artificial intelligence. In a move that aligns with the changing times in the film industry, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed that movies using AI tools can still qualify for top awards, but there’s a catch.

According to new rules released this week, the use of AI won’t automatically boost or reduce a film’s chance of earning a nomination. What matters most, the Academy said, is the extent of human creativity involved in the process. The message is clear: technology can assist, but it can’t replace the heart of a story, the people who tell it.
