With Bigg Boss OTT 3 nearing its release, the makers have unveiled the first major update about this upcoming season. After teasing fans with hints about the host, the platform has now made it official in a collaborative post on their Instagram handle that veteran Bollywood star Anil Kapoor will be leading the show this year. Interestingly, this entertaining star will be turning host for this reality show for the first time. While the first season saw filmmaker-producer Karan Johar as the anchor, the last season had Salman Khan, who also hosts Bigg Boss (Television) leading the contestants.

JioCinema took to social media to share this announcement and posted a photo of Anil Kapoor taking over the throne as the host of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3. They captioned it saying, “Presenting ‘Anil Kapoor’ as the new host for Bigg Boss OTT 3” and also added, “From reigning on the big screen to now ruling the Bigg Boss house, Anil Kapoor is kuch extra khaas! Witness his magic in #BiggBossOTT3 starting 21 June, exclusively on JioCinema Premium.”

Commenting on being the host of Bigg Boss OTT 3 and sharing his excitement, Anil Kapoor said, “Bigg Boss OTT and I are a dream team! We’re both young at heart; people often say – jokingly – that I’m reverse ageing, but Bigg Boss is – seriously- timeless. It feels a bit like going back to school, trying something new and exciting. Having said that, I’ve always approached all my projects with sincerity and a commitment to hard work and I’m going to bring that same energy (times 10!) to Bigg Boss! Unscripted reality has something for everyone – laughter, drama, and surprising twists, and I can’t wait to bring my own flavour to it!

Shah Rukh Khan is not just a superstar but off-screen, he has made the lives of many women better through his non-governmental organization (NGO), Meer Foundation. The NGO has got a big boost as it has been granted the Foreign Contribution Registration Act (FCRA) licence by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for five years, as per a report in The Economic Times.

This means that the Meer Foundation will now be able to receive foreign grants. Those who hold the Overseas Citizen of India can also send aid to the foundation. However, Non-resident Indians (NRIs), who still hold an Indian passport, are not applicable under this license.

Meer Foundation, which works for acid attack survivors and was started by Shah Rukh Khan in 2013, was granted this license on May 31, 2024. The Economic Times report further stated that as per the MHA guidelines, an NGO can apply for an FCRA license with definite purposes such as cultural, economic, educational, religious or social programmes.

During the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, in April 2020, Meer Foundation helped turn Shah Rukh Khan’s Khar office into a quarantine centre for asymptomatic patients. Later, it was turned into an ICU for critical patients. Meer Foundation looked after the day-night security, housekeeping, waterproofing and upkeep of the beds and meals at this centre.

The same month, the NGO announced that it would work closely with Ek Saath – The Earth Foundation and the Roti Foundation to meet the daily food requirements of over 5,500 families for at least a month, set up a live kitchen to send out 2,000 freshly-cooked meals to hospitals and households in need and provide 3,00,000 meal kits to the underprivileged and daily wage workers in Maharashtra. According to the statement, the team had also identified 2,500 daily wage workers in Delhi and provided them with basic essentials and grocery items for a month. In 2018, Shah Rukh Khan through the Meer Foundation also donated 50 wheelchairs on International Day of Persons With Disability.

On the film front, Shah Rukh Khan had a rocking 2023 as he delivered two blockbusters – Pathaan and Jawan – and a hit film, Dunki. He would be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King, co-starring Suhana Khan.

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has wrapped her next project, Jigra. Bhatt is diving headfirst into the world of espionage with a yet-to-be-titled project under Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) budding spy universe. The spy universe already has many big names including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. Now, Alia is set to enter the universe with a standalone project.

According to Mid-day, Bhatt is prepping for an action-heavy role, portraying a super soldier in the film. To embody this formidable character, she has embarked on a rigorous two-month training program with specialists. Filming is slated to begin in late July and extend for four months, encompassing locations across India and abroad. The ambitious project aims for completion by year’s end.

Bhatt’s dedication shines through, with filming kicking off with a high-octane action sequence. The report reveals that YRF Studios in Andheri will be her training ground for a month. Here, she will not only conquer a complex action set-piece in the initial days, but will also be joined by co-star Sharvari Wagh, who portrays her sister in the film.

A source informed, “Shiv Rawail has slotted several fight sequences for the first leg. After her introduction scene, Alia will move on to another massive action set-piece that will see her and Sharvari join forces. Adi will ensure that the Mumbai shoot is conducted with a limited crew and is heavily guarded so that details aren’t leaked.”

The action doesn’t stop in Mumbai. The source further revealed that the two actresses’ spy mission will take them across the globe, with the UK as their next destination. Here, they will be joined by veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who takes on the role of their mentor.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt has Vasan Bala’s Jigra for September 2024 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War for Christmas 2025 in her slate of releases.

Nora Fatehi has often sent fans into a frenzy every time she has danced on screen, be it in a film or a music video. Some of her songs remains to be popular even after years of releasing and among them is ‘Dilbar’. Along with the original which was picturized on Sushmita Sen, a remix of the same number also became a blockbuster with Nora grooving to the number in Satyameva Jayate. Now, if the grapevine is true, the dancer-actress will feature in what might be ‘Dilbar 2.0’.

It is being said that Nora Fatehi is currently prepping for a music video and if sources are to be believed, the 2018 dance number will now return in 2024. A source close to the project recently shared, “A Moroccan model turned actress has been roped in for a music video which will have Raftaar and Sukh-E  join forces.” Though the source kept other details under wraps, the source did share that a scintillating beauty will feature in the party number. But the name of the song too remains undisclosed.

Although the source also refrained from taking any names, the source also shares that the celebrity featured in the video is known for her dancing skills and her exuberant charm. The hints clearly indicate that Fatehi will be a part of this dance track, don’t you think so?

Speaking of Nora Fatehi, the dancer-actress recently shared screen space with Avinash Tiwary, Pratik Gandhi, and Divyendu Sharma in Madgaon Express which marked the directorial debut of Kunal Kemmu. She also featured as the leading lady alongside Vidyut Jammwal in the sports-action drama Crakk.
