Jawan for charity
Shah Rukh Khan, who is basking in the success of Jawan, is organising charity shows of the Atlee-directed film through the Meer Foundation, named after his late father. The idea came during an Ask SRK session on social media, when a user asked him, “Now that the film is a success, any plans for charity?” The actor-producer replied, saying, “Yeah, the whole family has been saying it. We will start with all our partners that the Meer Foundation works with to show everyone the film. Being an entertainer, if I can make all of them smile, it will be most satisfying. Thanks for the idea, (sic).” The film also stars Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, and Vijay Sethupathi.
Why Vijay can’t romance Krithi
In an interview about Jawan’s box office success, Vijay Sethupathi reportedly mentioned that he didn’t want Krithi Shetty to play his leading lady in Laabam (2021). This came as a shock to audiences, as the two actors had earlier collaborated on Uppena (2021), which won the National Award for Best Telugu Film. Vijay later clarified his reservations with the makers about signing Krithi opposite him. “In Uppena, Krithi played my daughter. When the makers of Laabam contemplated the idea of casting her as the female lead opposite me, I turned down their suggestions. How could I romance an actor who was playing my daughter in another film around the same time?” Vijay wondered. He maintained that it would have been an “awkward experience”, so he rejected the idea. He further explained, “While shooting for the climax scene, I told her to think of me as her father. My son was 15 around that time, and he is a little younger than Krithi. I also treated her as my daughter. I can never romance her on the screen.”
Varun, Keerthy take an auto ride
South actor Keerthy Suresh has reportedly begun filming with Varun Dhawan for his next, produced by Atlee and Murad Khetani. The two actors were spotted taking an autorickshaw ride recently after wrapping up the day’s shoot for the Hindi adaptation of Theri. Though Varun announced the project, tentatively titled VD18, on social media, there is no official word on Keerthy being the leading lady. The film, helmed by Kalees, marks the Hindi debut for Keerthy, who has previously won the National Award for Mahanati (2018). Varun sported a white vest with blue denims; his heroine opted for a grey tee with black treggings.
