Deepika Padukone
Buzz in B-Town is that Deepika Padukone, who was a presenter at the BAFTAs in February, is giving the upcoming Met Gala a miss. It has nothing to do with her being in the family way with actor-hubby Ranveer Singh. The reason is the Fighter actor’s busy date diary. Having attended the Met Gala for three consecutive years in the past, this time around, Deepika’s summer is dedicated to wrapping up her work on Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. Fronted by Ajay Devgn, the supercop action drama also sees Akshay Kumar and Ranveer reprise their khaki avatars as Veer Sooryavanshi and Sangram Bhalerao Simmba. Deepika will next be seen in Nag Ashwin’s dystopian action thriller, Kalki 2898 AD, along with Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani.

A truly epic collaboration
Even as Nitesh Tiwari has begun filming Ramayan, it is being reported that the epic is getting grander.

Ramayan will be the first Indian venture for Zimmer, who is known for his compositions for blockbusters like Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and No Time to Die.
