Vidya Balan agrees for a cameo appearance in Anurag Basu’s Ludo?

Speculations are rife in Bollywood corridors that National Film Award-winning actress Vidya Balan has agreed to play a cameo role in filmmaker Anurag Basu’s next directorial venture, Ludo. The film is said to be a sequel to his 2007 hit, Life In A Metro. However, the makers are yet to announce the title of the film officially.

According to reports doing the rounds, Ludo is an anthology film and Vidya Balan may take on the role of the narrator of the story. A source close to the development reveals to a portal that aside from being the narrator of all the stories, the actress may even have a brief role to play in the film.


“Vidya Balan will have a special role in the drama. It’s more like a cameo. But it’s not yet known what she will be playing or whose story she might be a part of. Apart from these, the makers also wanted an actor to be the narrator for all the stories and then their unison. So it can be that, too, but the makers are currently tight-lipped about everything,” reveals the source.

The source goes on to add that Balan will commence shooting for her part soon. “Vidya and Anurag’s friendship goes back a long way. They have known each other for years and when Dada called Vidya for the role, she immediately gave her nod. She didn’t even bat an eyelid before saying yes to him. They plan to shoot her portions in the coming few days.”

Ludo is a multi-starrer which boasts of stars like Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapoor in important roles. The film is slated to release in 2020.

Mariah Carey to headline Brighton Pride 2025: Iconic comeback set to break records

This summer, music legend Mariah Carey is set to light up the stage at Brighton Pride, marking her first UK performance since her 2019 Royal Albert Hall shows. Scheduled for August 2, 2025, at Preston Park, Carey’s highly anticipated appearance follows the cancellation of the 2020 event due to COVID-19. Known for her chart-topping hits like "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby," her performance is expected to draw massive crowds. Tickets go on sale February 20, and demand is expected to be high.

Paul Kemp, Brighton Pride’s Managing Director, shared his excitement, recalling the disappointment of 2020. “We’re thrilled to finally welcome Mariah this year,” Kemp said. “Pride is a celebration of love, diversity, and unity, and having a global icon like her headline makes this year’s event even more special.”

Are Kanye West and Bianca Censori breaking up after the viral Grammys stunt?

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, and his wife, Bianca Censori, are once again at the centre of divorce rumours, this time following a series of controversies surrounding Ye. Reports suggest that the couple’s relationship has been strained due to Ye’s recent actions, including allegations of antisemitism and the backlash from selling swastika-themed merchandise.

Sources claim that Censori, 30, reached a breaking point, unwilling to be associated with Ye’s controversies any longer. The tension reportedly escalated after Censori’s near-nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which drew widespread criticism. While Ye defended her bold outfit, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot,” the incident allegedly deepened the rift between them.
