Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif in talks to pair up for a romantic film?

While reports about their growing fondness for each other keep hitting headlines every now and then, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif are in news again, but this time for professional reasons.

Buzz has it that Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif might come together to headline one of producer Ronnie Screwvala’s upcoming production ventures, which will be helmed by filmmaker Aditya Dhar.


Vicky, Ronnie and Aditya have recently delivered one of the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema with Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019). After the earth-shattering success of the film, everyone is eager to know what they are making next.

A couple of weeks ago, rumours were rife that the trio is collaborating again for a period war drama. According to reports, they will first complete the untitled project and then work on the next one which will also feature Katrina Kaif.

“Apparently, the film which Katrina and Vicky are doing together will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala, who is known for his sensible, commercial successes. After blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike, Vicky Kaushal, director Aditya Dhar and Ronnie Screwvala are reuniting for a period war film, which will be shot all over India and release next year. But this won’t be the movie that Katrina and Vicky are in talks with Ronnie for. It’s another intense love story, possibly inspired from real life and something along the lines of Kedarnath,” a leading entertainment magazine reports.

Meanwhile, Katrina Kaif is looking forward to the release of her next film, Bharat. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film stars superstar Salman Khan as her love interest and is scheduled to hit theatres on 5th June, 2019.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
