Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan to team up for an action franchise

After delivering Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017), Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan were set to join hands for a war period drama, titled Rannbhoomi. The project was announced by Karan Johar earlier this year and the team was planning to commence production by the year-end.

However, if latest reports are to be believed, there is a massive change in plans. Instead of completing their hat-trick with Rannbhoomi, the duo will first collaborate on an action entertainer. The movie will be developed as a franchise later on.


“This one will be an action-packed film on the lines of Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series. In fact, the plan is to spin a franchise. It will be shot in India as well as abroad and is expected to go on the floors towards the middle of next year,” a source divulges the information.

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan is presently busy with Dharma Productions’ next Kalank. Besides him, the movie also stars Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur. After wrapping up Kalank, the actor will start shooting for Remo D’souza’s ABCD 3 with Katrina Kaif.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
