Vishal and Rekha Bhardwaj’s son, Aasmaan, makes his directorial debut with Kuttey starring Arjun Kapoor, Konkona Sensharma, Naseeruddin Shah, Radhika Madan and Tabu. The thriller has been written by Vishal along with Aasmaan, who studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York. Vishal will also score the music with lyrics penned by Gulzar. Guess mommy Rekha will lend her voice to the tracks. Aasmaan’s parents are also producing the film, along with Luv Ranjan. The family is at work together.

Moving on

Sidharth Malhotra, who is basking in the success of Shershaah, has begun work on his next, Mission Majnu. On Monday, he resumed shooting for ad filmmaker Shantanu Bagchi’s directorial debut. He plays a RAW agent in the spy thriller, which rolled in Lucknow earlier this year. He shared a picture from the set and wrote, “See you in theatres.” Had Shershaah been released in cinema halls in normal times, it would have roared at the box office proving to be Sid’s biggest solo release.

Shall we dance?

Hrithik Roshan treated fans with uber-cool pictures from the set of a shoot with celebrity photographer Avinash Gowariker. The Greek God took to social media on Monday to showcase his dapper look. “Always dance before you go,” he captioned one of the pictures. Fans made his day by telling him, “And when we get the chance to sit it out or dance, we dance.”

Balancing act

Tanuj Virwani is tied-up with the shoot of two web shows. He spends a greater part of the day on the set of Code M 2 and the nights are reserved for shooting Illegal 2. “Being overworked is never a problem,” he says. “The last year has been such an uncertain phase for actors. It also offered us clarity on what we want from our lives. I want to continue being in front of the camera. I have realised that I am the happiest when on the sets,” says Rati Agnihotri’s son.

Family time

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s mother Madhu often logs air miles to be with daughter dearest, and now PeeCee’s brother Siddharth has joined them in London. It was after five years that the siblings were together for Raksha Bandhan. Siddharth studied hotel management at a well-known institute in Switzerland. He used to run a restaurant in Pune a few years back. Of late, Siddharth has been more in news for his personal life. He is said to be seeing South actor Neelam Upadhyaya.

Caught in the act

Ram Gopal Varma is at it again. The maverick filmmaker attended the birthday party of South starlet Inaya Sultana, who is said to feature in one of his upcoming films. A viral video from the bash shows RGV making some bizarre dance moves with Sultana on his 1995 film, Rangeela’s chartbuster, Hai Rama. Later, RGV posted, “I want to clarify that the guy in this video is not me and the girl in red is not Inaya Sultana. I swear this on American President Joe Biden (sic).” It was perhaps his way of giving Sultana some mileage. “My life’s unbelievable moments,” posted the actor. A section of netizens were both impressed and amused by Ramu’s killer moves. “There is a dancer trapped within him,” said one of his fans. 

See you soon

After applauding Akshay Kumar and the Bell Bottom team for taking the “first step” to release the film in theatres, Kangana Ranaut is following suit. On Monday, she announced that her film, Thalaivii, based on the life of late actor-politician J Jayalalithaa, will hit screens on September 10. The multilingual was earlier scheduled to release in April but was pushed due to the second wave of the pandemic. A L Vijay’s directorial venture also stars Arvind Swami, Madhoo and Bhagyashree.

Living under the same roof

Jackie and Ayesha Shroff, and daughter Krishna have moved into Tiger Shroff’s new address on 18th Road, Khar. Over three years ago, Tiger bought an eight-bedroom apartment, and now the family is keen to stay together. The Shroffs earlier lived on rent in a Carter Road highrise where Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao also lived on rent for six years before moving back to their Pali Hill home in 2019. The Shroffs will have a host of celebrity neighbours at their new home, including Rani Mukerji, Meghna Ghai Puri and cricketers Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya. Over two decades ago, Jackie and Ayesha lived in a skyscraper at Mount Mary, where Tiger and Krishna spent their childhood.

Helping a cause

Composer-singer Salim Merchant’s daughter Ayesha gave a shout-out to father and uncle Sulaiman’s anthem, Nikal pado toh mumkin hai, as part of the India Move As One campaign to help children affected by the pandemic “Participate along with your friends and family,” said Ayesha, who models for the composer duo’s merchandise. Salim calls her “our in-house model.” Guess she is musically-inclined too.
