Will Vikrant Massey shoot for Don 3 before or after the break?

3 weeks ago0

Before Vikrant Massey takes that break, he may be shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 in which he plays the main antagonist. It is not clear at the moment if the 12th Fail actor would join Ranveer Singh in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 before or after his proposed sabbatical.

A friend of the actor spoke to this writer on the subject that the entertainment media has been obsessing over for 48 hours. “It is not exhaustion,” said the friend. “It is certainly not boredom, what has he got to be bored about? His career has just taken off, actually. Until recently, Vikrant was very annoyed about being cast as the second lead, or otherwise the male lead in female centric films. 12th Fail changed that.”

So, then what’s the reason for the sabbatical?

“It is some health issues which Vikrant has been ignoring for some time now,” said the friend. “Nothing serious. But nothing he can ignore either. The doctors have advised him to take some time off from his acting assignments. He will be away (from acting) for a year, or maybe a little more. That’s it.”

It may be mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan took a longish sabbatical from acting after Aanand L Rai’s Zero in 2018. He returned with Pathaan four years later. He never made any announcement about quitting.

Vikrant Massey may choose to retract his words. But he clearly announced he will be seen for the last time in 2025 before a time when he chooses to come back.

“Where was the need to make such an announcement?” wonders a female co-star of the actor. “We all take a break, a pause now and then. It doesn’t mean we need to go on social media to shout out a goodbye for the world to sing, ‘Nahin nahin jaana nahin abhi nahin kabhi nahin.’ Of course, we need to be told we are loved.”

Ravi Dubey CONFIRMS role in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, calls Ranbir Kapoor “Elder brother he never had”: “He’s the only commercially viable artist of this generation”

3 weeks ago0

Actor Ravi Dubey has officially confirmed his involvement in Nitesh Tiwari’s much-anticipated cinematic adaptation of Ramayana. In an exclusive chat with Cine Connect, Dubey shared his excitement about being part of the ambitious project and his admiration for co-star Ranbir Kapoor.

A Sincere Retelling of a Timeless Epic
Speaking about his role in Ramayana, Ravi said, “With due permission from my makers, I am [a part of the film]. I think Nitesh sir has a plan on how they want to talk about this project. If I kind of blurt out things irresponsibly and frivolously, it would not be right.”

He stated the cultural significance of Ramayana and the responsibility that comes with retelling such an important story. “It’s an important story for all of us. The story has been told and retold in many ways, but being a part of this culture and heritage is very special. We are collectively making a sincere attempt, and with someone as sincere as Nitesh sir helming it, it’s bound to be extraordinary,” he added.
Praising Ranbir Kapoor’s Grace and Professionalism
Ravi Dubey also shared his experience working alongside Ranbir Kapoor, describing him as the “elder brother” he never had. “Ranbir is kind, warm, and the most immaculate professional I have ever met. This is my very first experience on a big film set and my first experience working alongside a megastar like Ranbir bhai.”

Dubey highlighted Kapoor’s dedication and humility, saying, “His kindness and empathy towards everyone, his silence, and his grace are inspiring. I read somewhere on Instagram in a post by Karan Johar that Ranbir doesn’t make his process conspicuous. He’s working so hard behind the scenes, but he never makes it look like he is. Every part of him is an artist. He’s the only commercially viable artist of this generation.”
The Buzz Around Ramayana
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is one of the most eagerly awaited projects in Bollywood. With a stellar cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, the film aims to bring the epic to life in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences while honoring its cultural and spiritual legacy.

REVEALED: Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2 – The Rule ends with the promise of a sequel titled Pushpa 3 – The Rampage

3 weeks ago0

The much-awaited film Pushpa 2 – The Rule has finally released today and as expected, has taken an earth-shattering start in various languages across the country. The excitement was tremendous as Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 (2021), the first part, had emerged as a sleeper super-hit at the box office in its Hindi version. It also has wide viewership on television and on OTT, making it clear that Pushpa 2 – The Rule will go anywhere once it is released. The belief was that the second part would be the last part of the series. But it has now come to light that it’s not the case.

Pushpa 2 – The Rule ends at a significant note and this is followed by the title announcement of the next part – Pushpa 3 – The Rampage. The second part is expected to have a very positive word of mouth, going by the early reactions and hence, the audience would be happy to know that the journey of the protagonist, Pushpa Raj, doesn’t end with the sequel. As a result, Pushpa 3 – The Rampage is already the most awaited film of Indian cinema.

When Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 was about to release, the makers of course assured that a sequel was in the offing but they never unveiled its name during the marketing campaign. It’s only when the moviegoers ventured out to see the film that they learned that the sequel is named Pushpa 2 – The Rule. Before the sequel’s name was announced, the makers, in a witty move, instead of mentioning ‘The End’ put ‘2nd Interval’ on the screen! The words ‘2nd Interval’ then disappeared and 2 remained and it got added to the title of the sequel. It was a small but innovative strategy and was well received. Something of this sort, however, wasn’t done with the announcement of Pushpa 3 – The Rampage. Nevertheless, the purpose is served.

Pushpa 2 – The Rule stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in lead roles and is directed by Sukumar.
