The buzz is that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have locked April 13 to April 17 for their wedding celebrations
Ranbir Kapoor with Alia Bhatt
Although there is no official confirmation yet, it appears that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have locked April 13 to April 17 for their wedding celebrations. The mehndi and sangeet functions will also be scheduled during this period. The Kapoors and the Bhatts have apparently asked their closest friends to keep the dates free to join in the revelry. Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi Mukherjee are said to be creating Alia’s wedding outfits, while Ranbir has entrusted his designer Samidha Wangnoo to style him for the big day. The family’s RK House in Chembur has been chosen as the venue because the Shamshera actor wanted to get married there like his parents. Interestingly, he will also be hosting a bachelor’s party for his close friends from within and outside the film industry. Ayan Mukerji, Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, who are his closest buddies in B-Town, are said to have confirmed their presence for the party. They will also host a reception for their industry friends later this month.
Shoot in sight

Having taken over Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali from Sajid Nadiadwala, Salman Khan is not wasting any time in taking the film on the floors. The actor-producer is having a new set built at ND Studios in Karjat. Salman has reportedly chosen this venue as it’s closer to his farmhouse and he doesn’t want to take any chances in meeting the December 30 date with cinemas this year. Apart from this, everything else — from the crew to the cast and the schedules — remains unchanged. Pooja Hegde and Venkatesh are already on board and actors from other industries are expected to be signed on for this Farhad Samji directorial venture.
Partying with Nawaz
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was keen to host the team of his film, Noorani Chehra, at his new bungalow. The completion of the shoot served as the perfect opportunity to get together with co-actors Nupur Sanon, Sonallii Seygall and Shagufta Ali, director Navaniat Singh, producers Kumar Mangat, Rajiv Malhotra, Deepak Sharma and Neeta Shah on Monday evening. Over food and drinks, they recalled behind-the-scenes moments and reminisced about how quickly they wrapped up the shoot. Launched on Valentine’s Day, the film is being readied to release later this year.
A new ride for Divya
Divya Dutta, who returns to Punjabi cinema after a decade, learnt driving a tractor for Maa, in which Gippy Grewal plays her son. Talking about managing the heavy vehicle in the farm, the actor reveals, “Once I got the hang of it, I was speeding up the tractor in and out of the village, and doing all the action scenes,” she enthuses, adding, “It was a wonderful experience. It felt close to my homeland.”
Actor dad over director dad
Jersey marks Shahid Kapoor’s third collaboration with father Pankaj Kapur. While he worked under Kapur’s direction in Mausam (2011), the two shared screen space for the first time in Shaandaar (2015). During the promotion of Jersey, he said that it can be intimidating when one tries to compete with their father. Sasha added that it’s easier to act with Kapur than be directed by him. “We used to get time to chill and have a cup of coffee together in between shots. It was much more relaxed,” he said.
Brotherly bonding
Himansh Kohli, who features in Jubin Nautiyal’s Mast nazron se, has formed a brotherly bond with the singer. The Yaariyan actor, who calls Jubin ‘Baba’, says, “We have bonded a lot in the last few years and his presence has been nothing short of a miracle.” Post their third collaboration, Himansh adds, “Baba’s voice is such that it takes you to a different level.”
Hum haath-saath hain

Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad, who have been dating for a few months now, were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the airport recently. The couple has been sharing cutesy comments on each other’s social media posts and lunching with his family in the last couple of months. While they haven’t spoken about each other in the media, if waalking hand-in-hand in front of the paparazzi doesn’t make it official, what does?
An action heroine
Bhumi Pednekar, who has a variety of films lined up, is keen to explore the action genre. “I definitely want to do a full power action film,” she says, adding, “I want to see myself do that, say something like The Matrix, or a Lara Croft. It’s exciting for me and I want to explore this in the near future.” The Saand Ki Aankh actor feels she will have a lot of fun doing stuntbaazi and is actually looking for an appropriate subject. “Hopefully I will find something soon,” she says.
