History in the foresight
Ashutosh Gowariker and Rishab Shetty
Is Rishab Shetty becoming the go-to face for mythological and historical dramas? That’s the question fans are asking amid buzz that the Kantara star may team up with Jodhaa Akbar (2008) director Ashutosh Gowariker to play Sri Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara emperor. If true, this would mark yet another period role for the actor, who is already set to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in The Pride of Bharat. We have learnt that since the success of Kantara (2022), the Kannada star has stepped away from lighter films, even opting out of Malaikottai Vaaliban and the sequel of his film, Bell Bottom (2019). The film will mark the directorial comeback for Ashutosh, whose last directoril venture was Panipat (2019) with Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
‘Not a homebreaker’
Ramesh Sippy and Kiran Joneja
Actor Kiran Joneja recently opened up about marrying filmmaker Ramesh Sippy over three decades ago, addressing the age gap and the fact that he was previously married. Speaking to Lehren Retro, she said, “It’s not like I broke a home. I was okay with that. That was not my worry.” Kiran, who was 27 when she married the then 44-year-old Sippy in 1991, added, “I’ve always gotten along better with older people. I couldn’t be in tune mentally with boys my age.” On what drew her to him, she said it was “his personality,” praising his humility and gentleness. Sippy was previously married to Geeta Sippy and has three children named Rohan, Sonya, and Sheena Sippy.
Once upon a struggle
Ronit Roy
Ronit Roy, known for his powerful supporting roles in films and television shows, recently opened up about his early struggles. Reflecting on the ’90s, Ronit revealed he often survived on a single meal a day, alternating between kaali daal and palak paneer at a dhaba outside Bandra station. He shared on the Hindi Rsuh podcast, “One day, I had no money and asked just for roti and onions. The man gave me daal too and said, ‘Aaj aapka daal ka din hai’.” Ronit admitted he didn’t understand why his career didn’t take off initially, adding, “I stopped going to people for work, and hence, they stopped giving me opportunities. Even after my debut, I lived paycheque to paycheque.”
