Arjun Kapoor to cook for Parineeti in their next Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar!

Bollywood’s hot Jodi Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra are reuniting on screen after Ishaqzaade in Dibakar Banerjee's Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar.

As per a tabloid, the actor will be going back to his Ki & Ka’s way where he was seen essaying a homemaker. In Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, as Pari's character does not know how to cook or clean, Arjun comes to the rescue.

A source disclosed to the tabloid, "It is an endearing scene that happens at the moment of extreme crisis in their lives."

"Dibakar wanted him to look convincing as a cook. He was clear that the actor should know how to knead the dough and make round rotis as his character had to prepare food under challenging circumstances. Arjun is good at making some dishes but this time he had to make dal, sabzi, and roti –— a typical, daily meal of North Indians. Parineeti was a huge help as she is a fantastic cook herself," the source added further.

While Parineeti joked that Arjun will find a girl thanks to him taking care of her, Arjun reacted, "But the truth is that I can’t even take care of myself."

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is scheduled to release on August 3, 2018.

During a latest event, when Shah Rukh was questioned when the title and poster will come out, SRK joked that he was ready and that the team was late. But then, he went on to explain how the movie was a difficult film to make.

The actor revealed, "There are two things about the film that I would like to say and I'm very proud of it. It's the most advanced visual effects film made in the world. It's not just in India and I'm being honest about it not because my company has done it. That's why it is taking a little longer than we also thought. We prepared it for two years but we are giving it the best shot possible because har baar aisi film nahin banti. Obviously, because it is so visually heavy, effects heavy. Waqt bhi lagta hai, money is also being spent. We want to be very exact about everything."

"Abhi, kal humne ek photo daal diya tha iska and half the people said, arre yaar! Only because we had not worked hard on it as film mein bahut acha lag raha hai sab kuch. We are not nervous, We are a little wary that we should put the best foot forward. Toh picture ka title ready hai. Uski tagline bhi ready hai. Uska image bhi ready hai, actually. And as I speak, I have seen it also. It is looking quite nice. I think few days, we just want to give it the finishing touches and Aanand sir has been very anxious to do it but I think the team has been saying that 'Sir, it is the first look' for a very specially looking film, even for me as a character," Shah Rukh further added.

But has anyone ever asked the boys about the zeroes on their cheques? I mean they get a ridiculous amount of zeroes.

Sidharth is essaying an army officer in the movie and the trailer has impressed people. When the actor was questioned by a tabloid about his acting career and how courageously he is doing different kinds of films, he revealed, "What makes me fearless is my background. I made it among so many aspirants who wanted to be a part of films. I took a chance. Earlier, people used to laugh at me when I would say that I wanted to be a hero.

I feel I should call Deepika-Sanjay Sir and tell my opinion to them, reveals Priyanka on Padmavati uproar!

Film Padmavati has been delayed due to controversies and has led to death threats directed towards Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

When Priyanka Chopra was quizzed at an event about the threats on Deepika and Bhansali, she disclosed, "I feel like I should call Deepika and Sanjay sir and tell my opinion to them.

On this, Priyanka defended them and stressed, "When you use my name as a public figure from Indian film industry and flash my opinion on the ticker, I feel used.

I have been thrown out of a movie and replaced by the actor or director’s girlfriend, reveals Priyanka!

International diva Priyanka Chopra is one actress who never shies away from talking the truth and has her head held high when it comes to her stand and views.

With the latest ousting of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, numerous women have come forward with movements like the #MeToo campaign to speak about their encounters of abuse from powerful men.

"Not just Bollywood, I think it has struck a chord with everyone. #MeToo got popular not just in America but all over the world. Women across the world in every field and not just the film industry face abuse from a powerful man be it in the emotional, verbal, sexual, physical forms," Priyanka specified during an event.

The actress revealed, "It is never easy for a woman to come out and say I was hurt or troubled. It just becomes easier when someone stands by her because most of the time they say a woman asked for it or it was her fault but it’s not. I believe women are not victims but survivors. There should not be a world where women survive, there should be one where they thrive."

Getting open about her own struggles with men in power and demanding to be treated with respect, Priyanka further added, "I have been thrown out of a movie and replaced by the actor or director’s girlfriend. That’s an abuse of power and I could not do anything since I did not cater to the whims and fancies of powerful men. I catered to my friends and colleagues who respected me. So I was treated in a certain way because I demanded it. My parents stood beside me and told me there’s nothing to be afraid of. But then there are women who have no support from family, friends, colleagues and peers. It gets difficult for them to do it all alone."

But there is something very special one feels standing on the podium, holding the winning trophy! Nothing can replace that feeling. It is not a secret that I even take part in parents' sports day and win. You know I train for that, to win the race. Yes, now with AbRam, things have changed a bit because now I am 50, and other parents are 25 or of that age bracket. But I still participate because I want to win!"

Questioned if he can remember winning his first award, Shah Rukh told, "I always said this that I want to make a movie that should be so big, not only by canvas, not emotionally and with its engagement that even my mom-dad would be able to see that from heaven.

Ranbir Kapoor is ready to settle down with a condition!

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, who was last seen in Jagga Jasoos, is presently busy with the Dutt biopic. The film which also stars Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Manisha Koirala and Dia Mirza is scheduled for an early summer release next year.

Beside flicks, Ranbir lately made news after reports suggested that his mother Neetu Kapoor is looking the right match for her son for wedding.

Ranbir who indulged in some Twitter conversation with his admirers on Thursday was asked about his wedding plans by one of his fans. Responding to it, Ranbir told, "Pehle ladki dhoond (First, find a girl)"

Previously this year, when Neetu and Ranbir took a trip to London, a source had revealed a tabloid, “Ranbir and Neetu were in London to meet a girl for Ranbir’s marriage. The girl they met is from a business family in London and the meeting was fixed by one of Neetu’s close friends. Ranbir is keen to settle down now and Neetu has made no bones about the fact that she would like to choose the girl who is not from Bollywood for her son. She never approved of his earlier girlfriends Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif. Both, Ranbir and Neetu, met the girl and her family and liked them. Now, it remains to be seen whether things will get finalised from here.”

But later, Ranbir had slammed these reports and told, “When I do get married, why will I hide it? There were a lot of reports suggesting that my mom flew to London to look for a girl for me. There is no such thing of an arranged marriage.My parents have not put any pressure on me. Neither has my grandmother. One good thing is that they have left it on me. I will marry the woman I am in love with. It is as simple as that."

I like who he is and what he stands for, reveals Katrina on Salman!

Katrina Kaif is back in action heroine avatar with Tiger Zinda Hai where she will be seen opposite Salman Khan after five long years. The movie is a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger which was directed by Kabir Khan and has released today (December 22, 2017).

The movie is backed by some kickass action sequences and is the perfect way to end the otherwise dull year. Tiger Zinda Hai is an action thriller directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The movie is already off to a flying start.

Meanwhile, we caught up with Katrina Kaif recently who spoke about her equation with Salman, training for the combat scenes and her journey in Bollywood so far.

During a chat, Katrina revealed about her equation with Salman, “I don't understand this personal and professional equation. As a capacity on sets, we are all professionals, we all come in the capacity of us being actors. He is an actor, he comes to sets, he is there to work and I am there to work. As a person, he has known me since I was 17, it has been quite a few years now that we have known each other. It is hard to describe our equation but the most important thing is that there is a lot of respect between us for each other. I like him as a person, I like who he is and what he stands for.”
