Never a Lata biopic

Over the years, many creators and producers have approached Lata Mangeshkar for the rights to chronicle her life. Filmmakers even requested the family and the legend for a series on OTT, but everyone had been categorically told to respect her privacy and not pursue it. A source was quoted saying, "In the last few years, a lot of people wanted to make a biopic on Lata Mangeshkar, but she refused. She wasn't keen on sharing anecdotes from her personal life."

Homage to history

Singer Papon has released a song dedicated to Jammu and Kashmir titled Pyaara Jammu Kashmir. He says the track captures the stunning paradise in a musical way, paying respect to its history, people and culture. "The state has given us rich music, and it feels great to have been part of an anthem that celebrates it," says Papon who was accompanied by singers Sonu Nigam, Javed Ali, Harshdeep Kaur and Pratibha Singh Baghel.

Got it, flaunt it!

Ileana D'Cruz is raising the heat on social media by owning her curves. The actor posted pictures of herself in a red bikini and wrote, "So easy to get sucked into apps that get you to alter your body so effortlessly to make you look ‘slimmer', ‘more toned'. Proud of the fact that I have deleted all those apps and chosen this instead. This is me, and I am embracing, every curve, all of me." Way to go, girl!

On my terms

It has been a while since Sonu Nigam crooned for Bollywood movies. He says that he doesn't believe in being part of an audition process, where singers record a song and hope to be picked for the final cut. Having said that, Sonu also revealed that he will be singing a song in Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha. He informs that he took up the song because Pritam approached him, stating that Aamir wanted him on board.

Two years and counting

Disha Patani remembers giving a nod to Mohit Suri's Malang two years back. She says, "It was an exciting role and five minutes into the narration, I said yes to it. Rarely do you get the opportunity to play grey-shaded characters, and when I got it, I jumped at it. I love villains and loved being a baddie on screen." The film, also starring Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, hit the theatres on February 7, 2020, thus clocking two years today.
