Actress Priyanka Chopra is receiving rave reviews for her recent performance in Netflix's The White Tiger. The film is already creating a lot of buzz and getting some award season noise. Meanwhile, taking a break from hectic virtual promotions, she chose to chill by the pool.
On Saturday, Priyanka Chopra shared two pictures in a red bikini while chilling in the pool. She simply wrote, "Doing Saturday right” followed by a heart emoji.
Priyanka Chopra, during this weekend, launched her hair care line. "This is ANOMALY. What a surreal moment to introduce you to the first brand I have ever created! For the last 18 months I have worked alongside my partners at Maesa toward the day when we could share our labour of love with the world & I can’t believe that time has finally arrived. I’ve tried a lot and learned a lot about haircare over the years...what gave me great hair days, what didn’t, and everything in between...and I have infused that into a collection of products that gives your hair the TLC it deserves," she said in a statement.
The collection launched in the US on January 31 at Target and will be unveiled internationally later this year.

As government allows 100% occupancy in cinemas, release of Vineet Kumar Singh's Aadhaar postponed
On the evening of Saturday January 30, the Union government put out a directive that cinema halls can run with 100% occupancy. And as expected, it led to a wave of cheer among exhibitors, trade and industry at large. Post-lockdown, cinema halls were allowed to open from October 15. However, they were told to operate at 50% occupancy. Hence, alternate seats were asked to be left vacant. The exhibition sector was constantly persuading the government that running theatres at half the occupancy was not feasible. Bollywood filmmakers, too, shied away from releasing their mid-sized and big-ticket films in such a scenario as they feared losses. But with the 100% occupancy being allowed, trade is already abuzz that very soon, a slew of announcements of release dates of biggies are going to take place.
Meanwhile, Jio Studios, which was supposed to release Aadhaar on Friday February 5, have decided to postpone its release. Starring Vineet Kumar Singh, Sanjay Mishra and Saurabh Shukla, this Suman Ghosh-directed film is about the adventures of the first person in Jharkhand who gets an Aadhaar card made for him. It is backed by Manish Mundra’s Drishyam Films.
The spokesperson of Jio Studios confirmed that now the government has given the nod for full occupancy, they would want to bring their bigger films first. Hence, they have decided to push Aadhar to a later date. As per a report in a daily, Jio Studios has decided to release their bigger films like Roohi Afzana, starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor and Mimi, starring Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi, first. Both these films are also co-produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films.
On the other hand, the trade is hopeful that in a few days, the release date of the much-awaited Sooryavanshi would be unveiled. Starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, Sooryavanshi is directed by Rohit Shetty and is a part of his cop universe. There’s buzz in the trade that it’s scheduled to release on April 2. A decision will be taken once the makers reach a consensus with the multiplexes over issues like revenue sharing, OTT release, VPF etc.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali to revive Inshallah with Alia Bhatt and a different leading man
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is certainly not done with his aborted dream-project Inshallah, the love story that was to feature Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt. Making a flash-decision, he closed down Inshallah and quickly moved on to Gangubai Kathiawadi with Alia Bhatt in the title role.
But Inshallah remains in the back of Bhansali’s mind. “It is a beautiful simple timeless love story. Sanjay still wants to make it with Alia and a different leading man,” reveals a source close to the epic director.
The hero required for the part must be in the 50-plus category and a big star. Shah Rukh Khan is the obvious choice.
“But Shah Rukh Khan has already done a film – Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi — with Alia. So the novelty of seeing the two generation-challenged superstars exchanging emotions is gone. But who knows! It may be SRK only. The important thing is to make Inshallah exactly the way SLB had envisaged it. And he will.”

SCOOP: Kartik Aaryan to sign Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series Heera Mandi?
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is stepping into the web zone now. And just like we expected, he is all set to turn heads and grab eyeballs with a magnum opus being planned for the digital platform. The mega budget series is actually a script that was initially planned as a feature film, starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead. Now, Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi have been roped in to play two leads, whereas talks are on with Vidya Balan as well.
But the heroine centric film, that revolves around the life of courtesans and prostitutes during the Indo-Pak partition, also has many prominent male lead roles. SLB has already started discussion with a few actors. The source adds, "Kartik Aaryan and Bhansali have always discussed in teaming up for a film together. They have met a couple of times in the past as well but nothing worked out. Recently, he was spotted at the maverick filmmaker's office and apparently, SLB asked him if he would like to do a role in Heera Mandi."
Kartik was also offered a role in Gangubai Kathiawadi which he declined. Now it needs to be seen if he signs this one. But even if he does, it's majorly a woman dominated script but Kartik has a very edgy role to essay. But if Kartik agrees, this might be his second project on the digital platform after Ram Madhvani's Dhamaka which might have a direct to OTT release.

Happy Birthday Jackie Shroff: How Vidhu Vinod Chopra transformed him from ‘I-Can’t-Act’ actor to a Filmfare Award Winner!
One of the most versatile and loved actors of Bollywood, Jackie Shroff, turns 64 today. He’s an actor who enjoys tremendous goodwill due to his jovial nature and ‘bindaas’ attitude. Speak to any of his co-actor or a filmmaker who has worked with him and they are bound to narrate you their entertaining experiences. Vidhu Vinod Chopra is no exception. In his book ‘Unscripted’, written by Abhijat Joshi, the veteran director-producer opens up about never-before-known anecdotes involving the ‘bindaas bhidu’.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra worked with him for the first time in his classic film Parinda (1989). The actor was interested in working with him and decided to come on board. However, he said that there's a problem. "I can't act," said Jackie and laughed. At this point, Vidhu Vinod Chopra explains that it was considered to be a struggle to get Jackie to act. To prove his point, Vidhu mentions a rumour that during the filming of Hero (1982), director Subhash Ghai would have to even tell Jackie to look left and then right.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, however, had a solution to this peculiar problem. He went inside his bedroom, and came back with a piece of paper. He handed it to Jackie and told him that he has written a sacred mantra and that Jackie should recite a hundred times to improve his acting. He also told Jackie to open it the next day. Jackie Shroff opened it the same day after reaching home and was shocked to find the words written in capital letters, 'I CAN ACT!'! Jackie initially got angry at Vidhu but the filmmaker says in the book that this incident broke the ice between them.
One day during the rehearsal, it was Vidhu Vinod Chopra's turn to get angry. Jackie Shroff was supposed to come to his place at 10 PM but he got 3 hours late. At 1 AM, he walked in, laughing. He then explained that he knew he was late and that Vidhu would have been angry at him and hence, he bought roses to calm him down. However, he went to the wrong floor and pressed the doorbell. A lady opened the door and couldn't believe that a popular, dashing actor was standing there with flowers. Not knowing what to do, Jackie handed her the roses and left. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, too, couldn't stop laughing at this faux pas!
Knowing Jackie Shroff and his 'I can't act' problem, Vidhu Vinod Chopra devised a novel idea. On the first day, when Jackie walked in on the sets of Parinda and asked where is the mark on which he's supposed to stand and deliver his lines, the director told him that there isn’t any. He also added that Jackie is free to start saying his lines from wherever he likes.
At this, Jackie Shroff began to abuse Vidhu. He wondered how this decision of Vidhu to go without a mark can even be termed 'direction'. Vidhu remained calm and told him to do whatever felt natural. However, Jackie kept screaming and left the set. Half an hour later, he came back and realized that this method can work in his advantage.
Here, Vidhu Vinod Chopra says, "That was the beginning of Jackie Shroff, the actor. He went on to win Filmfare's Best Actor award in 1990 for Parinda."
