Veer Pahariya is all set to make his acting debut with Sky Force, a film that has generated plenty of buzz ahead of its release later this month. At a recent event in Mumbai, the trailer was unveiled, and during the proceedings, Veer discussed his experience of working with Sara Ali Khan, his former lover.

When asked about his on-set dynamic with Sara, Veer spoke warmly of the actress, expressing his gratitude for her support throughout the project. “She was very supportive. She has a lot of experience in the industry already, so she helped me a lot. I am very grateful. Thank you, Sara!” he said, acknowledging her mentorship and guidance.

Sara and Veer’s past relationship has remained a topic of public interest, especially after a picture of them holidaying together in London went viral on Reddit in May. The image, which featured Sara and her friends enjoying pizza, sparked speculation that the two might be rekindling their romance, with the accompanying text suggesting a reunion.

In a 2019 interview with Filmfare, Sara had confirmed her relationship with Veer, stating, “He’s the only one I have dated. I have had no other boyfriends in my life.”

For those unfamiliar, Veer Pahariya is the grandson of Sushil Kumar Shinde, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, and the son of businessman Sanjay Pahariya. With his debut in Sky Force, Veer is stepping into the spotlight, following in the footsteps of his well-known family members.

As the anticipation for Sky Force builds, all eyes will be on Veer’s performance and his journey as a newcomer to the industry.

Ajay Devgn’s nephew, Aaman Devgn, is all set to make his acting debut in Azaad, a film that also marks the debut of Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani. The movie, set against the backdrop of pre-Independence India, will see Aaman sharing the screen with his renowned uncle. However, the young actor has admitted that the experience wasn’t without its challenges.

At the trailer launch of Azaad, Aaman opened up about his first day on set with Ajay Devgn, revealing that nerves got the better of him. “When we first started shooting this film, I was very nervous. I am still nervous, but it is also accompanied by a lot of excitement and happiness. This moment will stay with me forever,” he shared. Describing his initial jitters, Aaman confessed, “I was so nervous on the first day when I shot with him. I was not seeing the character. I was seeing Ajay Devgn.”

Ajay, who was also present at the event, spoke about his nephew’s dedication and his own approach to pushing Aaman to excel. “He keeps getting fired from me all the time. Whatever he tells us is not enough for me. He works very hard, but I keep pushing him. He likes it sometimes, he does not like it sometimes. But that’s how I am, and that’s how I will be,” Ajay remarked.

Azaad, directed by Abhishek Kapoor and produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor, is a period drama set in pre-Independence India. The film follows the story of a 19-year-old named Govind and his extraordinary bond with a remarkable horse, weaving in themes of love, loyalty, and courage. Ajay Devgn plays a dacoit whose life is deeply intertwined with the horse’s loyalty, while Diana Penty stars as his love interest. The movie also delves into the dynamics of the dacoit and zamindari systems of the era.

Scheduled for release on 17 January, Azaad promises to be a heart warming tale of human-animal connections while showcasing the complexities of India’s historical landscape. For Aaman, stepping into the spotlight alongside seasoned actors like Ajay Devgn and Diana Penty marks an exciting, albeit nerve-wracking, beginning to his career. Fans eagerly await to see if Aaman can live up to his family’s legacy in Bollywood.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is one of the rare actors to have carved a successful career in both Bollywood and Hollywood. While the Citadel star has primarily focused on her international projects in recent years, fans have been eagerly awaiting her return to the Indian film industry. After reports linked her to an ambitious collaboration with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, new rumours suggest that Priyanka may revisit a beloved role close to her heart—Roma, aka Junglee Billi, in Don 3.

Priyanka first stepped into the iconic role of Roma in Farhan Akhtar’s Don (2006), opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Her compelling portrayal of the fiery, complex character, combined with sizzling on-screen chemistry with SRK, made Roma a fan favourite. Priyanka reprised her role in Don 2 (2011), further cementing her legacy in the franchise. However, after Shah Rukh Khan exited the series and Ranveer Singh was cast as the new Don, Kiara Advani was announced as the female lead for Don 3.

With recent speculation about Priyanka’s potential return to the franchise, fans have taken to social media to express their excitement and share their thoughts. Under a Reddit thread, one user wrote, “No one among the current actresses can play Roma as good as Priyanka. Farhan, please bring her back as Roma. Her chemistry with Ranveer would be great too.” Another fan commented, “Kiara is quite a vanilla actress… like most actresses today. No one can match Priyanka’s jalwa.” Echoing similar sentiments, another user opined, “I don’t think Kiara has any considerable box office pull. They should have cast PC only. Always thought Kiara was too vanilla for Roma.”

Interestingly, some fans are still holding out hope for Shah Rukh Khan’s return, with one remarking, “Imagine if they brought both PC & SRK back… fireworks galore!”

While there’s no official confirmation from the Don 3 team yet, the possibility of Priyanka’s return has already stirred immense excitement. If these rumours prove true, it would mark a monumental Bollywood comeback for Priyanka and a thrilling development for fans of the Don franchise.

Will Priyanka once again become the unforgettable Junglee Billi? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—fans are already counting down the days.

Akshay Kumar is far from finished with the world of Stree, the hit horror-comedy franchise also starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. The actor has confirmed he will reprise his role for Stree 3, with producer Dinesh Vijan humourously dubbing him the ‘Thanos’ of the Maddock Films horror-comedy universe.

The announcement came earlier this week as Maddock Films unveiled their exciting upcoming line-up, with Stree 3 slated for a theatrical release on 13 August 2027. The news was further confirmed during the trailer launch of Sky Force, where Akshay joked that his involvement with Dinesh Vijan marked his “dedh” (one-and-a-half) collaboration with the producer, as reported by News18.

During the Sky Force event, Akshay was asked whether he would continue to be a part of Vijan’s horror-comedy universe. In his characteristic light-hearted style, Akshay replied, “What can I say? Dinesh and Jyoti (Deshpande, producer) will have to decide that. They’re the ones to pump in the money.” However, he quickly dropped a significant hint about his future role, adding, “Aur Amar Kaushik ko direct karna hai (And Amar Kaushik has to direct it).” Kaushik, who directed the hit Stree 2, will also helm Stree 3.

Following Akshay’s statement, Vijan confirmed the news, joking, “Of course, he’s a part of the universe! He’s our Thanos (laughs).”

Akshay’s surprise cameo in Stree 2 was one of the standout highlights of the film, which became a major blockbuster in 2024. The actor portrayed the descendent of Chandra Bhan, the notorious, chauvinistic patriarch of Chanderi who once murdered Stree and her husband. His character, found in a mental asylum in Bhopal by Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and the gang, was both bizarre and humorous.

In Stree 2, Akshay’s character, sporting a blonde wig, was introduced in a wheelchair, hilariously assuming the persona of Mughal emperor Shahjahan, and asking for updates on the Taj Mahal. He brought a light-hearted touch to his role, entertaining fans with his riddles and playful kisses as he helped the gang solve their problems. The film’s conclusion strongly hinted that Akshay’s character would play a much larger role in the next instalment, potentially becoming a supervillain in Stree 3.

With Stree 3 set to expand on this, Akshay’s return promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the franchise, further cementing his role as a key figure in the Stree universe.
