Actors Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Ishaan Khatter have kick-started the next schedule of their upcoming film Phone Bhoot in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Kaif shared the update with fans by posting a video on Instagram when she was on her way to Udaipur and Chaturvedi also shared an update by posting a picturesque image of Udaipur, revealing that the team is currently shooting in the city.

Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment, Phone Bhoot is a horror-comedy that is being directed by Gurmeet Singh. Singh shot to prominence after directing Amazon Prime Video’s hugely successful show Mirzapur, which was also an Excel Entertainment production. The film has been written by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath.

Phone Bhoot was officially announced in July 2020. As per reports, the plot of the film will revolve around Kaif, Chaturvedi, and Khatter catching ghosts. Kaif, who was last seen in Bharat (2019) opposite Salman Khan, is stepping into the horror-comedy space for the first time in her career.

Talking about the first poster that the makers dropped while announcing the film, it featured all three actors suited up in tuxedos for action. This is the first time when fans will see Kaif, Chaturvedi, and Khatter together on the silver screen in a film that promises to be a fun ride from the word go.

Before Phone Bhoot, Katrina Kaif will be seen in Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited actioner Sooryavanshi which marks her reunion with superstar Akshay Kumar after Farah Khan’s heist drama Tees Maar Khan (2010).

Ishaan Khatter, on the other hand, has RSVP Movies’ war-drama Pippa in his hand. As far as Siddhant Chaturvedi is concerned, the actor has two more high-profile films on his platter – Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2 and Dharma Productions’ next with director Shakun Batra.

Phone Bhoot is scheduled to release in 2021.

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
