Ever since the news of Salman Khan opting out of celebrated filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-talked-about film Inshallah emerged, diehard fans of the superstar have been eagerly awaiting to know as to which movie Khan is planning to release on Eid 2020.
According to some industry insiders, Salman Khan is indeed having his date with theatres on Eid next year. He himself had tweeted the same a couple of days ago. However, the question still remains the same: Which film Khan is planning to release during the festival of Eid 2020.
Speculations of Kick 2 and the remake of popular South Korean crime-drama Veteran (2015) to be his next have been doing the rounds ever since Inshallah got shelved. Recently, filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala confirmed that Kick 2 will not be ready for a release next year. Also, since no work on the adaptation of Veteran has begun yet, there is no chance the film will be able to enter cinemas next year.
A source in the know tells an Indian publication, "Atul Agnihotri owns the remake rights of Korean film Veteran and there has been talks about Salman working in the film. But the project which Salman Khan is planning for Eid 2020 is not the Veteran remake. Salman and Atul Agnihotri plan to collaborate but it is not happening right now. Salman is planning a completely different project for Eid 2020."
The source goes on to reveal that the forthcoming film will be an all-out action extravaganza and Salman will be seen performing high-octane action sequences in it. An official announcement is highly awaited.
The superstar, meanwhile, is looking forward to the release of his hugely anticipated movie Dabangg 3. Directed by Prabhudeva, the cop-drama also features Sonakshi Sinha and Kichcha Sudeep in principal roles. Produced by Salman Khan Films and Arbaaz Khan, Dabangg 3 is slated to buzz into theatres on 20th December 2020.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
