Shah Rukh Khan approached by several filmmakers, including Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra & more to launch Aryan Khan as an actor in Bollywood: Report

For decades, Shah Rukh Khan has cultivated a dynasty that promises to leave an indelible mark on the Indian film industry. While his daughter, Suhana Khan, is set to make her cinematic debut in King, anticipation is rife about the potential entry of his son, Aryan Khan, into the world of acting. Aryan is set to make his debut as a director, but it seems like many want to launch him as an actor too.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, Aryan Khan has garnered considerable attention from industry stalwarts. Several producers and directors have approached Shah Rukh Khan, expressing their keen interest in grandly launching Aryan. Among those who have expressed their admiration for Aryan’s potential are Karan Johar, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Aditya Chopra, and Farah Khan. Even filmmakers from the South have extended offers, recognizing Aryan’s star quality.

However, Aryan’s immediate focus is on his directorial debut, Stardom, which is set to premiere on a leading digital platform. Once he completes this project, he plans to sit down with his father to discuss his future aspirations. While Aryan currently finds fulfillment in the creative side of filmmaking and desires to pursue a direction in the long run, there is a glimmer of hope that he may eventually transition into acting.

The web series Stardom is eagerly anticipated to make its debut next year. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to commence filming for his upcoming project, King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, around December or January.

Dalljiet Kaur accuses ex-husband Nikhil Patel’s alleged girlfriend Safeena Nazar of being a home-breaker; says she is 30 years old and has two kids

Dalljiet Kaur accuses ex-husband Nikhil Patel’s alleged girlfriend Safeena Nazar of being a home-breaker; says she is 30 years old and has two kids

Dalljiet Kaur, who got married with much grandeur in India in March 2023 to Kenya-based Indian businessman Nikhil Patel, has been undergoing a rather strenuous divorce with him. The actress relocated to India in January this year and has been accusing her husband of an extra-marital affair. Now, on social media, the popular television actress has revealed that she confronted the other woman in the life of her ex-husband Nikhil Patel, Safeena Nazar.

In an Instagram Live session, Dalljiet Kaur was heard saying, “I have two questions in mind. The first is, if he was already happy doing all that he is doing today, why did he marry me? Maybe, he would not have gotten this sort of publicity then.” She went on to speak about the famous adage about a woman being an enemy in another woman’s life as she added, “Second, jo log bolte hai na ke ek ladki hi ladki ki zindagi barbaad karti hai, sahi bolte hai (When people say that a woman is responsible for the destruction of another woman’s life, they are right). I am not blaming her, I think I will blame her.”

She also went on to continue, “Jab husband wife ke beech koi problems chal rahi ho tab toh anyway wo log ek dusre ke bare mein kuch acha nahi kahenge, aise mein kisi third insan ko wo void complete nahin karni chahiye (When a husband and wife are dealing with their issues, they would obviously not be saying good things about each other but that doesn’t mean a third person gets a chance to fill that void and they shouldn’t do it either). It is morally wrong.”

In the same interaction, referring to Safeena Nazar, she shared details about her to her social media fans and followers as she stated, “Aap khud shaadi shuda ho, pati hai, 2 bachhe hai aur kisi aur ke pati ka void fill kar rahe ho (you are a married woman with two kids and you want to fill the void of someone else’s husband)? Why? I will have this question in my heart all my life. I do not think that she needed to do whatever she is doing. Kya pata, hoga unka koi reason shayad (Who knows, she might have a reason).”

For the unversed, best known for her performance in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, Dalljiet Kaur was earlier married to Shalin Bhanot in 2009, and the couple have a son named Jaydon. They separated in 2015, after which she married Nikhil Patel in 2023. Currently her divorce case is being heard in a Kenyan court and the actress has also stated that she will be returning to her television career soon.

Amar Kaushik reveals Ayushmann Khurrana starrer vampire film is titled Thamba: “We’ll be starting production within the next two months”

Fresh off the box office success of Stree 2, director Amar Kaushik is diving headfirst back into the world of supernatural creatures and comedic chills. In a recent interview, Kaushik offered a glimpse into his upcoming projects, revealing the title and production timeline for his next film while providing an update on the highly anticipated sequel to Bhediya.

Stree 2, a follow-up to the 2018 horror-comedy hit, smashed box office records, crossing the coveted Rs. 500 crores mark globally. The film reunited the original cast, including Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana, who faced a new threat plaguing the town of Chanderi.

With Stree 2 firmly behind him, Kaushik is now setting his sights on expanding his genre-bending universe. While fans eagerly await news of a potential Stree 3, Kaushik is prioritizing two other projects – a sequel to the werewolf film Bhediya and a brand-new vampire movie.

For Bhediya 2, the story seems to be taking shape, though the director isn’t quite ready to call it a done deal. “The script isn’t locked yet,” Kaushik shared with India Today, “but we’ve hammered out the story. Now we need to flesh out the screenplay. There are a few sections of the narrative that I’m not entirely happy with, so we’re going back to the drawing board to refine those parts.”

Bhediya, released in 2022, starred Varun Dhawan as a man grappling with a unique werewolf curse. While the script for Bhediya 2 continues to be developed, Kaushik is wasting no time in moving forward with his other project – a vampire film titled Thamba. “We’ll be starting production on Thamba within the next two months,” Kaushik revealed. While specific details about the plot and cast remain under wraps, the director’s comments suggest that filming is set to begin in the near future.
