On the set
Aftab Shivdasani has begun shooting for the web series, Poison 2, at a Mira Road studio. As normalcy returns post lifting of restrictions and shootings resume, the makers of the thriller have taken the required precautionary measures. The first season, which released last year, featured Arbaaz Khan and
Tanuj Virwani.
Divine call
Paridhi Sharma has been roped in for the title role in Jag Janani Maa Vaishno Devi. After Puja Banerjee quit the mythological due to personal reasons, the makers were keen to find a replacement soon as the shoot begins anew post the pandemic. Sharma is best remembered for her 2013 show, Jodha Akbar.
