In the wee hours of Friday, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif took off for the shoot of the third outing of the Tiger franchise. They colour coordinated in black and obliged the paparazzi with their poses at Mumbai airport. Though producers Yash Raj Films prefer to be tightlipped, it is said that they will be shooting in Russia. Kat and Sallu are expected to be away for two months. Looks like that's what Sallu was trying to tell the paps, or was it a victory sign? With Sallu, you can never tell. He was stopped while entering the terminal for a security check by the CISF personnel. Kat preferred her characteristic hand wave, and there was no rock on her finger from a certain Mr K. Just saying.

Randeep Hooda finds himself embroiled in a legal tussle for âthreatening' writer Priya Sharma, who has allegedly accused him and his staff of dishonouring their commitments.Sharma claims the actor was keen to collaborate with her and took scripts and songs written by her in the last 15 years, but things did not take off.

Neha Dhupia loves dubbing as it provides an opportunity to an actor "to recreate so much" but being in the studios while pregnant is proving to be a tough proposition for her. The actor, who is expecting baby number two, has begun work on the thriller, Sanak. "Dubbing for an action film in your third trimester is a different ball game. I had no idea when I was shooting that I would be coming back to dub some bits in this state. Somewhere between the breathlessness, the backache and the burps, the only way out was to sit and get through, as opposed to always standing," Dhupia wrote about her dilemma.
Madhuri Dixit-Nene is rooting for Bigg Boss OTT contestant Karan Nath. She gave her "best wishes" via a social media post. It's not exactly a surprise considering their old connection. Karan's producer father Rakesh Nath, better known as Rikku, is Dixit's former manager. He single-handedly looked after her career till she made her comeback post her marriage to Shriram Nene. Later, she dumped him amid chatter of a fallout. In 2016, Mads attended Rikku's daughter Shaina's wedding and in 2020, she was the chief guest at the trailer launch of Karan's film, Guns of Banaras. All is well between them now.
