Before working opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan, Nayanthara had rejected Chennai Express for THESE reasons

 days ago

0 Views

Nayanthara is the female lead in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie, Jawan. However, you wouldn’t know that the actress had an opportunity to work with the superstar even before that. Nayanthara could have worked with SRK in Chennai Express. However, she rejected it for some specific reasons. Wondering what could they be? We tell you…

What would Nayanthara have played in Chennai Express?

According to a report on Pinkvilla, Nayanthara was not offered the role of Meenamma, which was played by Deepika Padukone. Instead, Rohit Shetty hoped that the thalaivi would appear in the dance number 1 2 3 4 Get On The Dance Floor. Eventually, Priyamani ended up being a part of the song.

The Priyamani connect

Interestingly, Jawan stars all SRK, Nayanthara as well as Priyamani. In the Atlee directorial, Priyamani is seen as a part of SRK’s girl gang. This gang also features Sanya Malhotra. Apart from them, Chennai Express’ lead actress Deepika Padukone is also a part of Jawan. She will be seen in a cameo appearance this time around.

Why did Nayanthara reject 1 2 3 4?

Nayanthara rejected the song for two reasons. She was not at the stage where she would want to work in a special number and instead, was looking for well-written roles. Even if she would consider the song, there was reportedly another reason why Nayanthara did not want to be a part of the track. The reason is the choreographer Raju Sundaram, who is Prabhudheva’s brother. It was widely reported that Nayanthara and Prabhudheva were in a relationship and by the time the film happened, they had parted ways. But, luck was on Nayanthara’s side, for 10 years later, she did work with SRK in a film directed by Atlee.

Jawan is slated to release in theatres on September 7. The movie sees SRK in a double role and also features Vijay Sethupathi as one of the leading actors.

Kohli dances to Nepali song, enters Nepal dressing room after Asia Cup match to create a lifetime memory for Sompal Kami

 

It seems like Virat Kohli has opened a new chapter in his cricket career, one that is not always about bat and ball and is not entirely driven by aggression but instead a few laughs with the opposition, a casual shake of the leg while fielding and an abundance of feel-good factor. Virat Kohli is yet to get into Asia Cup with the bat - he was out for 4 against Pakistan and didn't get to bat against Nepal - but that doesn't mean he has been away from the limelight. The cameras can never have enough of Kohli.

The former India captain, who shared light moments with Pakistan crickets with Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and others before and after India's Asia Cup opener against Pakistan in Pallekele, was seen in a similar mood in their next Group A match against Nepal.

Kohli and India did not get off to an ideal start on Monday. As many as three simple catches - one of them by Kohli himself - inside the first five overs as Nepal got off to a flying start after India opted to bowl. Thanks to some crucial strikes by Ravindra Jadeja (3/40) in the middle overs and Mohammed Siraj's (3/61) might at the end, India were able to pull things back and bowl Nepal out for 230 in 48.2 overs.

Nepal's spirited batting display and India's lacklustre show on the field, however, did not dampen Kohli's spirits. 14 overs into Nepal's innings, the legendary cricketer was seen dancing to Nepali songs, much to the delight of the small crowd, dominated by noisy Nepal fans, at Pallekele.

Kohli's whole-hearted behaviour did not end there. India got a revised target of 145 in 23 overs thanks to a long delay to due heavy rains. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill came out all guns blazing to ensure a 10-wicket victory for India and smooth sailing into the Super-4 stage of the tournament. After the match, Kohli was seen spending time with the Nepal cricketers inside the dressing room.

In a lovely gesture, Kohli, in fact, signed the shoes of Nepal all-rounder Sompal Kami. The right-handed batter and right-arm seam-bowler shared the photographs of the incident on Tuesday. "Virat Kohli is not just a cricketer, he's an emotion," wrote Sompal, who scored a crucial 48 off 56 balls.

India will head into he Super-4 stage of Asia Cup without playing a full 50-over game. Their tournament opener against Pakistan was washed out after they put on 266 on the board. But the good thing for India was that their batters and bowlers were put under pressure and had a fair bit of workout. In the match against Pakistan, Rohit, Kohli, Gill and Shreyas Iyer fell early. It was Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya with the rescue act. In the match against Nepal, their bowlers came back really well despite an attacking start by Nepal.

Come the next stage, they would be hoping for a much-improved show from the likes of Kohli and Iyer. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the Napal match due to the birth of his first child, is also expected to join the squad back in time.

When Prabhas' Salaar, which was scheduled for September 28 release, got postponed, Fukrey 3 acquired the vacant slot.

Fukrey 3 is among Pankaj Tripathi's several sequel projects

Besides Fukrey 3, Pankaj Tripathi mostly has sequels like Stree 2, Mirzapur 3 and Criminal Justice 4 in his kitty after his recent release OMG 2. He told PTI in an interview, "Doing sequels is easy because you know the world and character. However, at the same time it is boring, because you think, ‘How long will this carry forward, like third or fourth part’. But since it’s a success, maybe it is getting made.”

Looks like all is not well with Malaika Arora! The 49-year-old Bollywood diva dropped a cryptic post today morning wherein she attacked those who trolled her for her acting skills. Not only this, but the fitness enthusiast also fueled rumours of her breakup with actor Arjun Kapoor.

What’s new in Malaika Arora’s life?

On Instagram Stories, Malaika attached a post from a popular social media portal today which read, “A woman becomes a reflection of how you treat her. If you don’t like how she is acting, look at how you are treating her.”

Notably, Maliaka’s breakup rumours started pouring in the month of August this year. Bollywood’s ‘Malla’ has unfollowed Arjun’s family members including Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, and Anshula Kapoor.

Not only this, but the duo, on August 27, met each other on a lunch date in Mumbai city wherein the two reportedly tried giving their relationship another chance but failed.

Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora have been in a relationship for more than five years and they made it official in 2019 with a social media post. The adorable duo often got spotted on vacations together by the paparazzi.

What is the likely cause of Malaika and Arjun’s breakup?

Some reports suggest that Arjun cheated on Malaika Arora by spending quality time with popular social media influencer Kusha Kapila.

If this news development holds to be true, then this will be the second breakup of Malaika Arora. Prior to dating Arjun, Malaika was married to actor Arbaaz Khan.

Malaika and Arbaaz were married to each other for 19 years before they decided to part ways in 2017. Between the time period of 1998-2017, the two were blessed with a boy named Arhaan Khan. The child is now 20 years old.

On the professional front, Malaika was the judge and host of the MTV Supermodel of the Year in 2019 and a judge of India's Best Dancer in 2020.

In December 2022, she headlined a show about her life titled, “Moving In With Malaika”. It can be viewed on Disney Plus Hotstar.

Kushi featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu has started with a bang at the box office. The romantic drama has made Rs 50 crores gross worldwide in just two days. The collections of Kushi on Sunday have also been impressive and the film is already in the profit zone in the US. 

Vijay Deverakonda, along with his family visited the Yadadri temple and took the blessings of the almighty for the massive success of the film which had music by Hesham Abdul Wahab. Even though Kushi opened on a good note, the popular ticketing app, Book My Show showed negative reviews for the film. The rating for the movie was only six out of ten in the first two days. 

The makers were in shock as to why a movie was being rated so low despite having a solid take. Slowly, the reason behind it was known as the makers found out that a special team was behind it to keep Kushi out of the picture.

There is news going on that a popular star hero's PR is behind all this and he is the one who has hired people to post negative ratings and give a thumbs down to Kushi on the App. Well, this aspect was conveyed to Vijay Deverakonda yesterday and he was quite upset and shocked knowing someone could think of something like this. 

But luckily for Kushi, the family audience are loving the Shiva Nirvana film and gave it a thumbs up. On the other hand, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is back in the game as Kushi has clocked the one million mark in the US. This is her 17th film in the US to clock one million at the box office. This shows what kind of a star she has been in her career. 

Samantha played the role of Aradhya in Kushi and her chemistry with Vijay Deverakonda has become the talk of the town. Mythri Movie Makers have planned some extensive promotions for Kushi in the next few days. Netflix has bought the OTT rights to the film.
