This is when Amitabh Bachchan will start shooting for Aankhen 2

A lot has been said and written about Aankhen 2 over the past few years. A sequel to the 2002 superhit film Aankhen, the project was supposed to start production in 2017 after a grand launch in 2016.

However, as ill luck would have it, the sequel landed in legal trouble and was subsequently shelved. But the latest we hear that filmmaker Anees Bazmee has revived it after joining hands with producer Tarun Agarwal and Eros International.


According to reports, Amitabh Bachchan, who played the male lead in Aankhen, is set to topline the cast of the sequel. The superstar is expected to start shooting for it in 2019. Not just senior Bachchan, if things fall into place, international movie star Jackie Chan will also be seen in Aankhen 2.

“Amit Ji liked the script and has given his nod to the project. Anees (Bazmee) has begun prep and will start shooting in 2019. The team is targeting an early 2020 release. And since the story revolves around a casino this time owned by a Chinese, the makers are considering Jackie Chan for the part.”

Reportedly, Sushant Singh Rajput and Vicky Kaushal are also expected to play important roles in the movie.

An official confirmation is awaited though.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor move into £24 million six-floor Pali Hill home just in time for Diwali

Highlights:

  • That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
  • They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
  • It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
  • Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
  • Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.

So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.
