Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem starrer Kakuda starts rolling

A few weeks ago, there were reports that Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saqib Saleem will be seen in a horror-comedy titled Kakuda, and on Tuesday, the movie went on the floors.

Kakuda is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under his banner RSVP. The production house took to Twitter to make an official announcement about the film, and also revealed that the shooting has kickstarted.


They tweeted, “Triple trouble on the way! Get ready for a spooktacular - laughter riot with our homegrown direct to digital film, #Kakuda! Shoot begins today @AdityaSarpotdar @Riteishd #SonakshiSinha #SaqibSaleem @RonnieScrewvala @iavinashdwivedi @gharkaachirag @nonabains.”

Kakuda is a horror comedy and it will be getting a direct-to-digital release. However, the makers have not yet revealed which streaming platform it will be released.

Aditya Sarpotdar has earlier directed many Marathi films including the Riteish Deshmukh starrer Mauli. So, Kakuda will be his second film with the actor.

Talking about other projects of Sonakshi Sinha, the actress will be seen in Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Bulbul Tarang, and Fallen (Series). Bhuj: The Pride Of India is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar on 11th August 2021. Reportedly, she will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heera Mandi, however, there’s no official announcement about it.

Meanwhile, Saqib Saleem is awaiting the release of 83 in which he plays the role of Mohinder Amarnath. The movie was slated to release last year but was postponed due to the pandemic. The makers later decided to release it in June this year, but it was delayed once again due to the second wave of Covid-19. The new release date is not yet announced.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
