Soha Ali Khan recently revealed that she had different plans when it came to her career. Apparently, she never planned to be an actor, despite her family’s film background. She was “very dismissive of films” and pursued a banking career instead. Soha recalled that Amol Palekar had offered her Paheli (2005), which is why she left her job to pursue acting. Unfortunately, she ended up not getting the project. She admitted that she didn’t watch many Hindi films while growing up. Since she was not inclined towards films, her parents, Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, were relieved when she chose a different career path. However, her banking gig lasted only 13 months.
Returning to steal hearts
Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha’s Lootera (2013) is set to re-release in theatres on March 7. The film’s team made the announcement on social media with the film’s poster, writing, “Experience the magic of Lootera once again on the big screen.” Vikramaditya Motwane, the director of the film, said, “After almost 12 years, we are back.” The Ranveer and Sonakshi starrer is inspired by O Henry’s short story The Last Leaf and tells the poignant love story of Varun and Pakhi.

He also said that he doesn’t think anyone should be stuck in a situation where they’re “trying to play two sides,” and it’s no laughing matter. Arjun had recently commented on his relationship status, where he said, “I’m single,” when he was asked what his dating scene is like.

Prithviraj Sukumaran recently attributed the growing nationwide recognition of Malayalam films to the increasing exchange of talent between Bollywood and the south. “There are more collaborations than before,” he noted, adding that it’s the natural progression of cinema as an art form and business. Prithviraj also recalled a conversation with filmmaker Karan Johar in 2011, where the director predicted a future with “a lot of migration of talent on both sides,” a prophecy that’s now coming true. The actor believes it’s this shift that has contributed to the success of Malayalam films like Manjummel Boys and Marco in 2024, all over India.
Shraddha, teri kasam

With Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane unlikely to return as Pakistani artists are discouraged to work in India, writer-directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru were asked about the female lead. Radhika playfully suggested, “Shraddha ko please tag kardo,” fuelling speculation about Shraddha’s potential involvement in the highly anticipated sequel.
