Taapsee Pannu drops out of Anurag Basu’s next

Last seen in Anurag Kashyap’s romantic film Manmarziyan (2018), actress Taapsee Pannu has some exciting projects on her platter right now. She is presently shooting for Sujoy Ghosh’s next film Badla with superstar Amitabh Bachchan.

In February, she will start shooting for Anurag Kashyap’s next production Womaniya which, reportedly, also stars Bhumi Pednekar in a pivotal role. Writer-turned-director Tushar Hiranandani will call the shots for the flick.


Besides all aforementioned projects, Pannu was also rumoured to be joining forces with filmmaker Anurag Basu for his next directorial venture. However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the actress has decided to bid adieu to the project.

Basu’s next is a multi-starrer, believed to be on the lines of his 2007 film Life In A...Metro. Reportedly, Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aditya Roy Kapur and Abhishek Bachchan have been finalized to play important roles in the film. The director had also signed Taapsee Pannu for a significant part opposite Aditya Roy Kapur.

However, Taapsee Pannu decided to quit the film because she had no clarity over her dates required for the shoot. The actress had even asked the director about the dates, but when the latter failed to do the needful, she decided to opt out of the movie.

It will be interesting to see which actress fills her shoes in the flick now.

Brooklyn Beckham told parents to contact him only through lawyers amid family rift

Highlights

  • Brooklyn Beckham requested that David and Victoria Beckham contact him only via lawyers during a period of strained relations
  • Legal letters were exchanged, though no formal action was taken
  • The request followed what Brooklyn viewed as damaging briefings about his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham
  • Both sides are said to be hoping for reconciliation, despite ongoing hurt

A breakdown that moved beyond private disagreement

Relations within the Beckham family deteriorated sharply last summer, reaching a point where Brooklyn Beckham asked his parents to communicate with him only through legal representatives. The request marked one of the most serious moments in an already strained relationship between the eldest Beckham son and his parents.

Sources say the instruction led to an exchange of letters between legal teams at Schillings, representing Brooklyn, and Harbottle & Lewis, who act for David and Victoria Beckham. While no legal proceedings were initiated, the correspondence made clear that Brooklyn did not want direct contact or public references to him from his parents, including on social media.
