Fans of Bollywood star Deepika Padukone were left stunned yesterday when Vyjayanthi Movies announced that the actress will not return for the upcoming sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, the star-studded sci-fi epic directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan. The production house confirmed the news on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, sending shockwaves across social media.

This development has taken movie buffs completely by surprise because Deepika Padukone’s role was pivotal to the original film. She portrayed a pregnant woman who was a key figure in the prophecy surrounding the arrival of Kalki in a dystopian future. Her character’s arc formed the emotional and narrative backbone of the story, making it hard to imagine the sequel without her

With the makers now moving ahead without the Piku actress, the big question is: which Bollywood star could step into her shoes in the highly anticipated sequel? We’ve put together a list of five potential actresses who could take on this challenging role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

1. Alia Bhatt

With a filmography spanning Highway, Udta Punjab, Raazi, Gully Boy, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and RRR, Alia Bhatt has established herself as one of the most versatile actresses in Indian cinema. Her experience also extends to action-driven roles in projects such as Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmāstra, the Hollywood spy thriller Heart of Stone, and, more recently, Jigra. Given her range and star power, Alia Bhatt could be a strong contender to take over Deepika Padukone’s pivotal role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

2. Kriti Sanon

Often regarded as one of the most underrated performers in Bollywood, Kriti Sanon has showcased her acting prowess in films such as Raabta, Bareilly Ki Barfi, and Mimi. While Adipurush received mixed reviews, her performance earned praise from many cinephiles. Kriti Sanon has also brushed against the sci-fi genre with last year’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. With her versatility and screen presence, she could be a fine choice to step into Deepika Padukone’s role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

3. Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Undoubtedly one of the finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has displayed her acting talents in several films like Aitraaz, Kaminey, Barfi!, 7 Khoon Maaf, and Dil Dhadakne Do. She has also been part of Hollywood projects like Baywatch, The Matrix Resurrections, Quantico, Citadel, and Heads of State. With a terrific screen presence and a global appeal, Priyanka Chopra could be a strong contender to replace Deepika Padukone in the Kalki sequel.

4. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

A global icon and former Miss World (1994), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has long been celebrated for her beauty, poise, and acting talent. Known for memorable performances in films like Guzaarish, Devdas, and Ponniyin Selvan, she would be a fascinating choice to portray Sumathi in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. Although older than Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai’s timeless charm and magnetic screen presence could add a new dimension to the role and make her an interesting casting choice.

5. Triptii Dimri

Following Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, reports stated that Triptii Dimri had been roped in for the eagerly anticipated film. Known for her earnest performances in Bulbbul, Qala, and Animal, the actress most recently appeared in Dhadak 2. Although she is the least experienced star on this list, Triptii Dimri’s fresh screen presence and rising popularity make the idea of her appearing alongside Prabhas in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel an exciting possibility.

Filmfare Flashback: When Sharmila Tagore Took Home The Black Lady for Her Role in Aradhana

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As Filmfare nears its 70th edition, we take head back to 1970, to the 17th Filmfare Awards. On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969. Among the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta.  
Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love.  
At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.  


Other highlights: Anokhi Raat won four Filmfare awards, including Best Screenplay and Best Dialogue. Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses.  

Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.

EXCLUSIVE: Shakti Kapoor Was Not The Original Choice To Play Crime Master Gogo In Andaz Apna Apna; Tinnu Anand Reveals Being Offered The Role FIRST

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Tinnu Anand was originally cast as the iconic character Crime Master Gogo in Andaz Apna Apna; however, Shakti Kapoor later replaced him. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, the filmmaker and actor revealed he was supposed to play the role in the Aamir-Salman starrer. Tinnu recalled the time when Shakti Kapoor yelled at his fans, asking for a selfie. Scroll down to read below and watch the full interview.

Tinnu Anand Reveals Shakti Kapoor’s Crime Master Gogo Was Actually Supposed To Be Him

Speaking of Shakti Kapoor’s infamous Crime Master Gogo from Andaz Apna Apna, Tinnu Anand revealed an interesting story. He shared, “Crime Master Gogo ka character bhi mera hi tha. Log nahi jaante, kyunki Raj aur meri bahut dosti ho gayi thi. Damini ki hai humne, Ghatak ki hai. Ab Crime Master Gogo ka sawaal aaya ji, toh Raj ji ne mere ko kaha, ‘Tinnu, ek role hai. Kuch clear cut nahi aa raha hai, lekin uska naam Crime Master Gogo hai.’ Maine kaha, ‘Raj, mere upar wale maale pe ek Sardar ki family rehti hai.”

He added, “Unki ek beti hai, bachchi hai, lekin itni confident ladki hai yaar. Ghanti maaregi, mere sofa pe aake baith jaayegi. Paon ke upar paon rakh degi. Maid ko bulaayegi—‘Ek Coke la dena.’ Piye gi, rakh degi. Main wahin khada hota hoon. Kabhi thank you bolke chali jaati hai, kabhi bina thank you bole hi nikal jaati hai.’ Yeh roz hota tha.”

Tinnu Anand On His Experiment

He continued, “Maine ek experiment try kiya. Aaj subah jab woh aayi, aise baithi, main apne bedroom mein tha. Bedroom se bahar aaya toh maine dekha—’Kaise ho?’ toh she said, ‘Fine.’ Abhi Gokula aaya nahi tha, usne peeche mud ke dekha, ‘Kya hua Gokula ko?’ Maine kaha, ‘Aa raha hai, aa raha hai.’ Aur phir maine usko aise dekha—uski aankhon mein aankhen daal ke. Aap bhi try kijiye kabhi. Blink mat kijiye. Aapko lagega kuch gadbad hai. Dekhiye—blink kiya na? Fir main bola, ‘Kya dekh rahi hai? Yeh jo teri moti moti aankhen hain na, woh main hathheli pe rakhunga, nikaal ke, aur uske saamne goti khelunga.’”

The filmmaker added, “Uska expression kabhi dekha hi nahi tha maine. Aise (the child got scared)karke bhaagi, upar jaake ro rahi thi. Maa ne kabhi nahi dekha tha usko roते hue. Very proud parents—kyunki bachchi roti nahi thi. Aur aaj aise ro rahi thi ki bolo mat. Aur aise hi character build hua tha set pe. Aamir Khan kehta tha, ‘Woh do din jo humne enjoy kiye aapke saath, kaam kam ho raha tha, hansi zyada nikal rahi thi.’ Dono ke saath jo main kar raha tha, sab improvise tha.”

Tinnu Anand Recalls Shakti Kapoor Yelling At Fans

Tinnu Anand recalled how Shakti Kapoor recently yelled at fans. He shared, “Shakti aur main recently airport pe the. Kyunki hamara plane delayed tha, toh humne kaha chalo coffee pee lete hain. Café mein gaye. Café mein itne mein teen—do ladke, ek ladki—aaye hamare table par, aur bole, ‘Sir, sir, selfie, selfie!’ Shakti Kapoor unpe chillaa diye, ‘You people are college students, don’t you know manners? We are talking to each other, guftagu kar rahe the. We were talking about something, and you came and interrupted us. When we finish, you stand there, I will give it to you!’”

He concluded, “I was shocked. Toh maine kaha, ‘Shakti, tere ko apne din yaad hain? Jab tu struggling tha, tu struggling only for this, right? Ki log aayenge, selfie–autograph lenge, photograph lenge, ladkiyan aayengi. Aaj jab aa rahe hain tere se maangne, tu rude kyon ho raha hai yaar? Bas zara wait kar lijiye. Do tareeke hote hain baat karne ke.’ He said, ‘Sorry sir.’ He called them and said, ‘Come, take, take a selfie.’”

Tinnu Anand was recently seen in Good Bad Ugly, Crazxy and Dil Dosti Aur Dogs. All these films were released in 2025.

Artists both familiar and new will be on display when NBC’s Saturday Night Live returns for its 51st season this fall.

Bad Bunny will serve as host and Doja Cat as musical guest for the debut episode on Oct. 4. Bunny is about to wrap a historic residency in his home country of Puerto Rico in support of his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which is up for 12 Latin Grammy awards. Doja Cat’s new album, Vie, is due Sept. 26.

Role Model will perform on the Oct. 11 episode, which will be hosted by former cast member Amy Poehler.

His song “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” recently topped Billboard‘s Adult Alternative Airplay chart.

Sabrina Carpenter will host for the first time and perform for the second on the Oct. 18 edition, five days before the start of a new North American leg of her massive Short n’ Sweet Tour. Carpenter’s second album in a year, Man’s Best Friend, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this month.

Bad Bunny and Carpenter both participated in specials celebrating the 50th anniversary of SNL earlier this year, with the former performing two songs at a music-focused Radio City Music Hall event and the latter duetting with Paul Simon on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound” during a retrospective taped in the fabled Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center.

Bad Bunny also served as the musical guest for the 50th season finale episode in May, hosted by Scarlett Johansson.

Jennifer Lopez recalls missing out on Evita role to Madonna

Jennifer Lopez recalls missing out on Evita role to Madonna

by jummy84

Jennifer Lopez spent “weeks” preparing to play Evita – before Madonna landed the part.

Jennifer Lopez was eager to play Evita in the movie

The 56-year-old singer was desperate to play Eva Peron, the Argentine politician and activist, in the 1996 biographical musical drama film, and Jennifer felt devastated when the role was awarded to Madonna instead.

Speaking during a question-and-answer session, Jennifer shared: “I went to audition for Evita for [director] Alan Parker.

“I had been practising for weeks and I sing my heart out and he goes, ‘You’re amazing. You know Madonna has the part, right?’

“I said, ‘OK, bye-bye. Nice to meet you.’”

Jennifer is currently starring in the big screen adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman, the new musical drama film.

The actress is fulfilling a long-held ambition by starring in a musical film, but she still felt a little overwhelmed when director Bill Condon asked her to perform one of the movie’s more elaborate songs in one take.

Jennifer shared: “I was like, ‘We’ll do some coverage?’ He was like, ‘Nope, no coverage.’

“I was like, ‘F*** me! I better get it right then.’ Like halfway through the take it’s going perfectly and then you trip on your dress or whatever so it’s like, maybe we start over.

“It was challenging. It was challenging in that way, time wise, as independent films can be, right? It’s the time, it’s the prep, it’s the, you know, budget. All of it were constraints for us.”

Meanwhile, Jennifer admitted earlier this year that she feels “proud” of her career.

The chart-topping star – who has enjoyed huge success in the music and film industries – reflected on her career arc ahead of hosting the American Music Awards in May.

Jennifer told People: “Everything feels like I just did it.

“I remember the moments. I remember getting dressed for them. I remember things people said when we were walking to the stage afterwards.

“So it’s all these amazing core memories of my life that when you look back on them … I don’t know that I get emotional, but I definitely get like, ‘Wow.’ Happy. I’ve been doing this and I’m proud of that.”

The Surprising Confession! This Bollywood Star Admits His Role “Didn’t Come Naturally” | Glamsham.com

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Known as the Greek God of Bollywood, this versatile actor has been a part of numerous iconic performances in a career spanning over two decades. With a range of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, they’ve established themselves as a prominent figure in Indian cinema. Starting from Jodhaa Akbar to Dhoom 2, Koi Mil Gaya to Agneepath, Hrithik has left everyone mesmerized again and again. However, one film where even he felt he had come short was the 2003 romantic drama Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, alongside Kareena Kapoor.

“I Wasn’t Mature Enough for That Role” – Hrithik Confesses
During an honest interaction with fans through a Film Companion interview (as pointed out in a Reddit thread and covered by BollywoodShaadis), Hrithik spoke of how difficult it was for him to deal with the character Prem Kishan. As per a question of whether he ever found any role difficult to relate to, Hrithik immediately mentioned Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon.

“I wasn’t mature enough to appreciate that side of myself,” he admitted. “I usually don’t do characters that are so far from my natural self. That hyper, euphoric, uppity ‘wo ho ah ah’ energy don’t come so naturally to me.”

To the delight of the audience, Hrithik made light of one of his own scenes from the film, mimicking a popular line, “Oh Aunty, oh no,” in a squeaky voice. His mock self-deprecation elicited laughter, demonstrating his capacity to laugh at his own earlier faux pas.

Hrithik Gears Up for ‘War 2’
In the coming days, Hrithik will be back in action on the big screen with War 2, helmed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra. Featuring Jr NTR and Kiara Advani alongside him, the action entertainer sequel to the 2019 blockbuster is set for a worldwide release on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The film will face a box-office clash with Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’.

Charli XCX’s ‘Erupcja’ role almost went to Clairo

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Charli XCX has revealed that Clairo was also considered for her role in her upcoming independent film Erupcja.

In October, news emerged that the ‘360’ singer had filmed the movie in secret in Warsaw during the height of ‘Brat’ summer.

Director Pete Ohs confirmed that Erupcja, which means “eruption” in Polish, will tell the story of the combustible relationship between two women – a local Polish citizen played by Lena Góra and a tourist, to be played by Charli XCX.

In a new interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Charli and Ohs have spoken about their chance meeting in New York bar Clandestino in May 2024 where they were introduced by a mutual friend Said Harris.

Speaking about the improvised nature of the film’s production, Ohs spoke about developing Charli’s character Bethany. “Okay, we have a character named Bethany who’s shy and what is she doing in Warsaw?” he said. “That’s the fun of making movies this way, where it just all becomes about asking questions, finding what answers feel good, and just like moving through the story and discovering it as we go.”

Charli responded: “I remember quite early on, we were talking a lot about the singer Clairo in comparison with Bethany. You were like, ‘I really like Clairo.’ So we kept brining Clairo into the mix when we were thinking about who Bethany was, which is funny, because as a musician, she’s sort of like the complete opposite to who I am as a musician.”

While it appears that Clairo was in consideration during the development process, Ohs soon decided that XCX would play Bethany and they were filming three months later.

Although they tried to keep it low-key, the film’s “secrecy” was blown by the musician’s fame. “[Charli] definitely got recognized a bunch of times, Ohs said last year. “She was always really sweet. She took selfies with many a Polish fan…”

Erupcja will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (September 4). No general release has been announced.

Charli is also starring in 100 Nights Of Hero, adapted from a graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg. That film is having its world premiere at Venice International Film Festival on Saturday (September 6), followed by a US release on December 5. A UK release date has not been announced. She is also set to star in the adventure-comedy Sacrifice alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Evans.

Charli has also proven herself to be an avid film fan too, making regular recommendations via TikTok, leaving reviews on Letterboxd, and pitching an It Girl edition of the Final Destination franchise. She also recently shared a scene from her upcoming mockumentary film, The Moment.
