Varun Dhawan, Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani are surely in the best phase of their careers. They have some interesting films in their kitty and they are supremely talented. Now, according to a report in a tabloid, all these three actors are all set to come together on the big screen.
Reportedly, Shashank Khaitan’s next will star Varun, Kiara, and Bhumi. Well, it’s not the Dulhania franchise or Ranbhoomi which was announced last year. It is a fresh script and it will be a commercial entertainer. Varun will be seen romancing both Kiara and Bhumi in the film.
A source said, “After contemplating several options, Shashank and KJo finalised the trio. They liked the script and were immediately on board.”
The title of the film is not yet finalised and Shashank is still finalising the script. The makers are planning to start the shoot by mid-2020. While this will be for the first time Bhumi and Kiara will collaborate with Shashank, it will be the filmmaker and Varun’s third movie together.
Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan is currently busy with the shooting of Coolie No. 1 which also stars Sara Ali Khan. After Coolie No. 1, he will start shooting for Sriram Raghavan’s next which is a biopic on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.
Bhumi is currently busy with the promotions of Pati Patni Aur Woh which is slated to release on 6th December. She also has movies like Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship and Takht in her kitty.
Talking about Kiara, she will next be seen on the big screen in Good Newwz which will hit the screens on 27th December 2019. Next year, the actress will be seen in Laxmmi Bomb, Indoo Ki Jawani, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Shershah.

FOUR-TIME champions England booked their ticket to the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup after pulling off a nail-biting four-run win over hosts India in Indore on Sunday (19).
England had posted a competitive 288-8 thanks to Heather Knight’s century and held their nerve in the field to defend it, despite their bowling, usually their strong suit, being a touch off colour.
India looked to be cruising towards victory, needing just 62 runs off the last 10 overs with seven wickets in hand. But the dismissal of Smriti Mandhana turned the tide, as scoreboard pressure crept in and dot balls piled up. Soon after, Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma departed in quick succession, leaving the tail high and dry.
Reckless batting cost India dear. Mandhana’s downfall opened the floodgates when she danced down the track to left-arm spinner Linsey Smith but failed to clear long-off. Then, after reaching her half-century, Deepti Sharma perished trying to take on Sophie Ecclestone, a slog sweep that found deep mid-wicket to perfection. From there, the writing was on the wall.
“We probably needed 300, but we did well to pull things back and I’m very happy. Didn’t contribute much in the last couple of games, so it felt good to come up with a match-winning hundred,” said Knight, whose classy 109 off 91 balls, laced with 15 fours and a six, was the backbone of England’s innings.
England’s openers gave them a brisk start with 73 runs for the first wicket before Knight joined captain Nat Sciver-Brunt in a 113-run stand that kept the scoreboard ticking.
At one stage, England looked set to go past 300, but Knight’s run out attempting a second run triggered a slowdown, as India tightened the screws and conceded only 74 runs in the final 10 overs. Deepti Sharma was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with four wickets.
It was India’s third successive defeat leaving their next clash against New Zealand a virtual knockout. With both teams locked on four points, it’s a case of do or die to stay in the hunt for the last semi-final berth, with Australia, England and South Africa already safely through.
England, meanwhile, have been clinical, through to the semis with two games in hand. They sit second on the table with nine points, level with defending champions Australia, separated only by a whisker in Net Run Rate.
“Not sure how we lost this game. We had it in the bag. We’ve worked so hard and when the last five overs slip away from you, it’s heartbreaking. This is the third straight game we’ve lost after coming so close,” lamented India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
