Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan has finished shooting for the 12th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B shared details about his last day as host on the quiz show and hoped to be back on the set soon.

"I am tired and retire .. my apologies .. it's been a very long last day of KBC shoot .. I shall make up tomorrow .. But remember this .. work is work and must be accomplished with the entire sincerity at one's disposal .. The affection and love created gives a farewell to the last day of the shoot .. they all assemble together .. the wish is to never stop but to keep going on .. I do hope this can happen again soon .. the crew and the team were so caring and hard working .. it was quite a stretch to pull away from the sets .. and all the team gathered round in fond remembrance of the months spent together and the efforts made by each .. [sic]" he wrote on his blog. He added that as gifts of appreciation were exchanged, everyone got teary-eyed on the set. "Love and care and affection and gifts of appreciation exchanged hands and there is extreme gratefulness for the gesture from the entire team .. it's moving .. and tears up .. but .. … tomorrow is another day .. [sic]

Love saga

After the historical Porus (2017), Aditya Redij returns to the small screen with Bawara Dil. The romantic drama features him as Shiva, a tough rebellious character. Co-star Kinjal Dhamecha, who plays Siddhi, says, "This is the first time I am playing a leading role. It is a strong character; someone who will always side with what is right." The two start off on a wrong note and their bond is fuelled by hatred in the drama.

Short route

After The Bar (2018), Sudhanshu Pandey features in another short film, Fitrat, which drops later this month. "It tells us to rise above our prejudices and see people for who they are," he says.

Helmed by Taher Ali Baig, it was shot in Hyderabad. Pandey, who is currently seen on Anupamaa, balances web shows, films and television. "It's about choosing smart content," says Pandey.
