Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan to dance on the recreated version of THIS song from original Coolie No. 1

In 2017, David Dhawan remade his cult classic Judwaa. Titled Judwaa 2, the film starred his son Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu in the lead role. Now he is all set to once again remake his another directorial. We are talking about Coolie No. 1. David Dhawan will be remaking the film and it will star Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles.

The songs of Coolie No. 1 are still remembered by the audiences, especially Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha and Husn Hai Suhana. And now, David Dhawan has revealed that the track Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha will be recreated for Varun and Sara. The song will be composed by Tanishk Bagchi who is nowadays known for recreating the old songs. While talking to a tabloid, David Dhawan said, “It is an important song for our film, and it has the heart. But times have changed so I am going to picturise it very differently with Varun and Sara.”


Talking about the original song, David Dhawan recollected that they had shot the song in Bangalore. He said, “We found a place in Bangalore with a lot of Bhel Puri stalls and had the lead pair (Govinda and Karisma) strolling through it, exploring ‘Mumbai’. I thought it was the best way to capture the essence of the Maximum City back then.”

Talking about the new version, the director said, “It’s a fun song, showing the growing bond between the couple.” We are sure it will be quite pressurising for Varun and Sara to recreate the song as Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s dance moves had impressed one and all.

The shooting of Coolie No. 1 remake starts on 5th August in Bangkok. It will be for the first time when we will get to see Varun and Sara on the big screen together and we are quite excited to see their fresh pairing. The movie is slated to release 1st May 2020.

Instagram blocks profiles of Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in India amid rising tensions

The Instagram profiles of Pakistani celebrities like Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are no longer accessible in India. This development comes just weeks before Fawad’s planned Bollywood return with Abir Gulaal and follows a series of social media restrictions tied to the worsening India–Pakistan relationship.

When Indian fans try to view the artists' Instagram pages, they’re met with a message: "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content." No official clarification has come from either the Indian government or Meta, but the timing is significant. The move comes days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region killed 26 people, most of them tourists. It was one of the deadliest attacks since the 2008 Mumbai carnage.

The ECB’s decision follows a UK Supreme Court ruling last month which stated that the legal definition of a "woman" is based on a person’s sex at birth and does not include transgender women who hold a gender recognition certificate.

Lancashire bats for Indian board to join The Hundred

THE England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should offer the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) a minority ownership stake in The Hundred to attract Indian players to the competition, Lancashire CEO Daniel Gidney has suggested.

“I think it’s possible. If I was the ECB, I’d be talking about perhaps bringing the BCCI in as a minority ownership partner in the tournament as a whole. If you do that, then you are aligning interests,” Gidney told the ESPNCricinfo website.
