Madhuri Dixit Joins 8-Hour Shift Debate Amid Deepika Padukone Row; Says, “I’m A Workaholic, We Worked 12-Hours Every Day”

Madhuri Dixit – who is known as the Dhak-Dhak girl of Bollywood is all set to show a side like never before in her upcoming web show Mrs Deshpande. The actress – who rose to fame with iconic films such as Dil, Beta, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Dil To Pagal Hai and more, is all set to play a jailed serial killer in the Hotstar show.

During a recent interaction, the actress – who has been part of the industry for over 4 decades, was asked her views about there being an 8-hour shift for actors on movie sets. This conversation gained prominence following Deepika Padukone’s ouster from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit. Read below to know all the ‘Lajja’ actress had to share.

Madhuri Dixit Weighs In On 8-Hour Shifts Debate

When asked about her views on the 8-hour shift debate, Madhuri Dixit told ANI, “The thing is that when we did Mrs Deshpande, we were working 12-hour shifts every day, like maybe more sometimes… So, I think to each his own.” She continued, “I’m a workaholic. So for me, maybe it’s different, but if a woman has that power and can say, ‘okay, I want to work these many hours,’ then that’s her prerogative, and that’s her life, and that’s how she wants to do it…Then more power to her.”

A while ago, Rani Mukerji also weighed in on the same topic. Stating that there should be better coordination and understanding between actors and producers, the ‘Mardaani’ actress said, “These things are up for conversation today because maybe people are discussing them outside. But this has been the norm with all professions. I’ve also done it where I have worked for certain hours. If the producer’s okay with it, you go ahead with the film. If the producer isn’t okay with it, you don’t make the film. So it’s also a choice. Nobody is forcing anything on anybody.”

On Saturday, singer Rakshita Suresh shared pictures from the star-studded night in Gujarat, where she was seen hugging Deepika and posing with the actor and Ranveer for a photo. Another picture in her post was a selfie with Aamir Khan, who kept it simple for the evening in a black kurta. Singer Pratibha Singh also shared a video showing Deepika and Ranveer vibing to AR Rahman’s song Enna Sona from Ok Jaanu.

Shreya Ghoshal had earlier shared a photo on Instagram Stories of herself, AR Rahman, Neeti Mohan, Mohit Chauhan, Udit Narayan, and flautist Ashwin, among others, preparing for their performance. She wrote, “An unforgettable evening sharing the stage with Rahman sir for a private concert for a very august gathering.”

For the event, Deepika wore a pink saree paired with a pink oversized coat. She completed her look with a bun adorned with gajra. Ranveer, meanwhile, looked stylish in a white bandhgala suit. The couple recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on November 14 and even received a sweet wish from Deepika’s bodyguard, Jalaluddin Shaikh, on social media.

‘Boondocks’ Creator Aaron McGruder Joins ‘Last Friday’ Writers Room

by jummy84 November 13, 2025
written by jummy84

In an exciting turn for fans of the Friday film franchise, legendary cartoonist and writer Aaron McGruder has joined the writers’ room for the long-rumored final installment of the series, tentatively titled Last Friday.

Actor and comedian Mike Epps, who has featured in the franchise’s previous entries, revealed the news during his recent interview with Big Boy.

“I just was with Ice Cube, DJ Pooh, and Aaron McGruder, sitting in the room writing this movie,” Epps said of the addition of McGruder, creator of the cult­-savvy comic strip and subsequent animated series The Boondocks. “We’re writing it right now, and it’s gonna be crazy.”

Epps further noted that the occasion was the first time that all of the writers of the film were in a room together to trade ideas about the script. “This is the first time we all got together,” the Indiana native said while providing the latest update regarding Last Friday.

McGruder’s arrival is significant: his groundbreaking work began with The Boondocks comic strip—debuting in the student newspaper of the University of Maryland and later syndicated nationwide—then evolved into a sharp, socially conscious animated series for Adult Swim.

Known for its biting commentary on race, politics, and culture, The Boondocks earned a dedicated and critically appreciative fan base. McGruder’s unique voice and fearless satire have long earned him a reputation for mixing humour with provocative reflection.

At the same time, the Friday series’ lead—Ice Cube—has been waging a protracted battle in the background.

Although the original film premiered in 1995 and spawned sequels Next Friday (2000) and Friday After Next (2002), Cube has repeatedly lamented that he cannot bring the new movie to fruition because the studio currently holding the rights, Warner Bros. (via New Line Cinema), continues to stall.

“I don’t know. Warner Bros is weird right now… They don’t know what they’re doing. We’d love to have it back,” Cube said in a 2022 podcast appearance, adding bluntly: “I ain’t putting sh*t up for it. F**k no. They need to give it to me.”

He also revealed that two scripts for Last Friday had been submitted and rejected, further fueling speculation that the project was mired in development limbo. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that the film is moving forward under the production of Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema.

With Aaron McGruder now at the table alongside Cube, DJ Pooh and Mike Epps, the new draft for the film appears to be gaining fresh momentum. Epps also took a moment to honour Cube’s legacy.
“Shouts out to Ice Cube, the Don Mega,” the comic said while saluting his longtime co-star.

“I always give Ice Cube his props, man, because not only did he walk me in the business, but he walked a lot of young brothers and sisters in the business.”

In short: a landmark cultural creator is stepping into a landmark franchise at a crucial juncture — and if this latest writers’ room has its way, fans of both The Boondocks and Friday might finally get the chapter they’ve awaited.

Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa joins Wicked star in animated musical

Doctor Who’s Ncuti Gatwa joins Wicked star in animated musical

by jummy84 November 9, 2025
written by jummy84

Ncuti Gatwa’s post-Doctor Who career has just added another major project, with the acclaimed actor taking a voice role in a major new animated film co-starring Wicked icon Cynthia Erivo.

Bad Fairies is a fantastical adventure slated for release in summer 2027, which follows a group of “delightfully subversive” fairies as they “shake up their magical world” (via Deadline).

Erivo was confirmed to star in the animated musical last month, with Gatwa being the latest addition to what looks poised to be an A-list voice cast; details about his character have not yet been disclosed.

Bad Fairies is written by comedian Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist), with Megan Nicole Dong (Netflix’s Centuarworld) and Oliver Staphylas (Wish Dragon) sharing directing duties.

Tony Award-winning songwriters Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss (best known for King Henry VIII-themed Six: The Musical) are also aboard the project, alongside composer Isabella Summers (a founding member of indie band Florence + The Machine).

For Gatwa, it marks his first major screen booking since a widely publicised exit from Doctor Who, after which the actor returned to the stage for West End runs on The Importance of Being Earnest and Born with Teeth.

Most recently, he was seen alongside Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch in romcom The Roses, and coming up next he has The Queen of Fashion; a biopic about stylist Isabella Blow, starring Andrea Riseborough (Alice & Jack) in the lead role.

No doubt Bad Fairies will be hoping to draw in Wicked-sized numbers on the strength of Erivo’s musical prowess.

After numerous theatre gigs, including Sister Act and The Colour Purple, the British actor moved into film from 2018 with roles in Bad Times at the El Royale, Widows and Harriet, where she was Oscar-nominated for her portrayal of Harriet Tubman.

However, Erivo’s film career has reached new heights in the past year, following her debut as Elphaba Thropp in the blockbuster film adaptation of Wicked.

The first film made more than $750 million at the global box office, with similarly high expectations for the forthcoming sequel Wicked: For Good, which is set to conclude the Wizard of Oz-inspired story later this month.

Further casting and plot details for Bad Fairies will be announced in due course.

Bad Fairies is coming to cinemas in May 2027.

Sexyy Red Joins Rolling Loud Australia 2026 Lineup

Sexyy Red has officially joined the lineup for Rolling Loud Australia 2026. The breakout rapper was announced as the second artist for the festival’s return, following last week’s confirmation of Gunna as the first headliner.

Rolling Loud Australia is set to take place across two cities in March: Sydney’s Centennial Park on March 7, and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on March 8. The twin one-day events mark Rolling Loud’s first shows in Australia since 2019, and the first time the global hip-hop festival brand has expanded to a two-city format in the country.

According to organizers, pre-sale tickets sold out within hours of going live, and general tickets are now on sale via australia.rollingloud.com. Promoters have confirmed that the full festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks and will include a mix of major international acts and leading Australian artists.

Since breaking through in 2023, Sexyy Red has achieved several Billboard chart milestones. Her highest Hot 100 placement came in November 2024, when she reached No. 10 as a featured artist on Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky” alongside Lil Wayne and GloRilla. She first entered the Hot 100 with the “Pound Town” remix featuring Nicki Minaj, and followed that with her viral hit “SkeeYee,” which peaked at No. 62 and topped the inaugural TikTok Billboard Top 50. She also appeared on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” (No. 11) and scored her first top 20 solo hit in 2024 with “Get It Sexyy,” which peaked at No. 20.

On the Billboard 200, her 2024 mixtape In Sexyy We Trust debuted at No. 17, following her 2023 breakout Hood Hottest Princess (No. 62). In recognition of her independent rise, she was named Billboard’s Indie Rapper of the Year in 2025.

Rolling Loud co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, both named multiple times on Billboard’s Hip-Hop Billboard Hip-Hop Power Players list, continue to expand the brand globally. Alongside its flagship Miami festival, Rolling Loud has produced shows in Europe, Asia, Canada, and the Middle East. The franchise also recently announced its debut in India for 2025.

The festival first landed in Australia in 2019, with the debut including performances from Future, Playboi Carti, Rae Sremmurd, Tyga, and a surprise appearance from a then-rising The Kid LAROI.

Beatles Biopics Cast Wives, Ariana Joins 'Horror Story'

Beatles Biopics Cast Wives, Ariana Joins ‘Horror Story’

by jummy84 October 31, 2025
written by jummy84

The upcoming Beatles biopics have rounded out four important members of their casts. Saoirse Ronan, Anna Sawai, Aimee Lou Wood and Mia McKenna-Bruce will each portray one of the Fab Four’s spouses in The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which will be released by Sony Pictures in April 2028.

Ronan will star as Paul McCartney’s first wife Linda Eastman, Sawai as John Lennon’s second wife Yoko Ono, Wood as George Harrison’s first wife Pattie Boyd and McKenna-Bruce as Ringo Starr’s first wife Maureen Starkey. Harris Dickenson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan were previously cast as Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.

“Maureen, Linda, Yoko and Pattie are four fascinating and unique figures in their own right, and I’m thrilled that we’ve managed to persuade four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure,” says director Sam Mendes.

Each of the four films centers around one of the Beatles from their pre-fame days in early 1960s Liverpool through their unceremonious 1970 breakup, during which their spouses played key roles in shaping their lives and music.

McCartney and Eastman met in 1967 while the latter was working as a rock photographer. After the Beatles’ split, McCartney drafted Eastman, a novice musician, to join his band Wings, and they were married until Eastman’s cancer-related death in 1998. Ono and Lennon met in 1966 when he was still married to his first wife, Cynthia; they divorced in 1968, and Lennon and Ono were wed the following year. They remained together until Lennon’s 1980 murder; Ono is now 92 and still lives in the couple’s New York apartment.

Harrison and Boyd met on the set of the 1964 movie A Hard Day’s Night and married two years later. They divorced in 1977 after Boyd had an affair with Harrison’s best friend Eric Clapton, to whom she was married from 1979-89. Starkey and Starr started dating in 1962 when she was a 16-year-old hairdresser in Liverpool. They were married from 1965-75 and their three children include Zak Starkey, who has drummed for the Who and Oasis. Maureen Starkey passed away in 1994 after battling leukemia.

In related news, Ariana Grande will be part of the cast for the 13th season of American Horror Story, which will be out sometime next year. She joins Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange in the long-running, Ryan Murphy-led series. Grande previously appeared in Murphy’s 2014 TV series Scream Queens.
