Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh teams up with 'Saiyaara' star Aneet Padda for their next project: "There are huge plans to make..."
Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh who was also seen in Metro In Dino, is teaming up with Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda for a legal drama titled Nyaya that will be directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a Rs. 400 crores hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity.'

About Fatima Sana Shaikh
In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films. She said, 'Finally, there are women who are asking for what they deserve, and that is commendable because to voice it and to even receive that was like a dream. And, you know, these are the women like Deepika Padukone who are paving paths for us so that tomorrow when we are in that position, we won't obviously think twice to get our due.'
On working with Anurag Basu
I didn't get to interact with other characters a lot. I largely interacted with Sara Khan and Ali Fazal that you've seen in the trailer also. So, I didn't unfortunately get to share the screen with all of these other actors that I'm a huge fan of.
The best thing about Anurag (dada) is that you are not bound by the script and you know what you're getting into. So, you learn a lot when you go to the set. Even if there is a climax scene, even if there is a hectic scene, you come to know about it in the morning. And you just go with the flow. Whatever comes on your way, you just figure it out. You try to be as honest as possible. And that's what we all did, and there is, you know, significant fun in that too.

What will Karisma Kapoor's children Samaira and Kiaan inherit from Sunjay Kapoor's Rs 3000000000000 crore wealth? Wife Priya Sachdev Kapur will get...
Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur (File) Billionaire businessman and Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur, died suddenly on 12 June in London. He was playing a polo match at the Guards Polo Club when he began to feel unwell. Moments later, he suffered a heart attack and passed away on the spot. As per reports, a bee flew into his throat during the game, and its sting may have triggered the heart attack. Sunjay Kapur was the Chairman of Sona Comstar, a major global auto parts company. He took charge of the business in 2015 after his father Dr. Surinder Kapur's death and led it into new international markets. Jeffrey Mark Overly is the New Chairman Sona Comstar has a market value of about Rs. 31,000 crore (around 4 billion dollars). After Sunjay Kapur's death, the company's shares dropped by 7 per cent, and people started speculating about who would take over as the next leader. In a statement, the company said, 'Sanjay Kapur's vision and dedication will always inspire us. We assure our customers, employees, and shareholders that the company will continue to run smoothly.' For now, the company is being managed by its board, and recently, Jeffrey Mark Overly has been appointed as the new Chairman. Allegations by Sunjay Kapur's Mother Rani Kapur After Sanjay Kapur's sudden death, a dispute has surfaced within the family over who will take over his legacy. His mother, Rani Kapur, has raised serious allegations. She claimed that during the time of mourning, she was kept away from key decisions, and was pressured to sign certain documents. She also accused the company's board of appointing Sanjay's wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, as a non-executive director without the family's consent. However, the company strongly denied these claims. In its official response, the company said that Rani Kapur has not held any shares since 2019, and that all decisions were made legally and in line with company rules. What did Karisma Kapoor and her children receive? According to Forbes, Sunjay Kapur's total wealth was estimated at around USD 1.2 billion (approximately Rs. 10,300 crore). As per his will and trust, the entire estate will now be managed by his wife Priya Sachdev Kapur. This means that the share meant for their son Azarius will be handled indirectly by his mother. Sunjay Kapur was earlier married to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, but the couple divorced in 2016. They have two children together — Samaira (20) and Kiaan (14). Financial arrangements for these children were made in advance. As per reports: Both children were gifted bonds worth Rs. 14 crore. They also receive a monthly income of Rs. 10 lakh each. In addition, a property in Sunjay Kapur's father's name was allotted to Karisma Kapoor as part of the custody settlement.

Dhadak 2 Twitter Reviews: Netizens laud Triptii Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi; say ‘You cried at Saiyaara, now...'
With their past performances, actors Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi have proven that they are versatile performers who thrive when given the opportunity. For Triptii, it was in films such as Bulbbul (2020) and Laila Majnu (2018), whereas Siddhant left a lasting impression as MC Sher in Gully Boy (2019). So when it was announced that the two are coming together for the first time in Dhadak 2, a college romance where caste plays the villain, audiences were obviously intrigued. Well, their film arrived in theatres this Friday and has already dethroned Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara. At least that's what early reviews suggest. Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi in Dhadak 2 After watching a first day show of Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2, a netizen shared, 'FACTS: #Dhadak2 will not be a bigger hit than #Saiyaara in terms of Box-office. But Dhadak 2 is a better film than Saiyaara for sure. DHADAK 2 ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN AND PERFORMED FILM OF THE YEAR,' whereas another Twitter review read, 'You cried at Saiyaara? Good. Now watch Dhadak 2 and cry for something real. This is the kind of cinema that actually says something No melodrama. No glam. Just the raw truth of caste, class, and injustice.' Another impressed fan shared, '#Dhadak2 hits you and how!! I can't really recall any recent movie which has been this effective in shedding light on a such a sensitive subject and showcase the brutality with such honesty. Amidst the Saiyaara craze, we've literally lost a movie that deserves way lot more!!! Plus #TriptiiDimri, in a genre like this where she excels, is the cherry on top. Her outburst scene and the pre climax portion is so well executed ,and its literally a blow to all her haters who've been spewing hate for her recent script choices. She's so good as Vidhi ❤️.' Ahaan and Aneet-starrer Saiyaara continues to rule the box office. But it looks like the Mohit Suri romance has paved the way for other Bollywood love stories amid the recent surge in action movies, with Dhadak 2 being an example. Are you planning to watch Triptii and Siddhant's film after reading these rave reviews?

Saiyaara Box Office: Blockbuster run continues Overseas in Third week, UK Goes Berserk
Saiyaara is headed for yet another blockbuster weekend at the overseas box office, kicking off its third week with a fantastic USD 800K Friday. The Friday business is just 34 per cent down from last week and 70 per cent higher than the first Friday. The third weekend is projected to be around USD 2.75 million, which will be one of the biggest ever. Remarkably, the film raked in more overseas than it did in India yesterday, despite being a massive domestic blockbuster. The film has tapered off a bit in India in the last couple of days, but the rampage continues overseas. The United Kingdom, already in mental mode, cranked it up even further with a staggering GBP 150K yesterday. This marks a 12 per cent increase from the same day last week, which itself was a huge number. Notably, the biggest third weekend for an Indian film in the country is GBP 282K of Pathaan, which Saiyaara will surpass in just two days. The UK will comfortably cross GBP 2 million on Sunday, and now GBP 3 million is starting to look like a very realistic target, if not easy. The film maintained its strong momentum in other markets as well, holding its own against the biggest blockbusters. The United States scored USD 165K, down just 28 per cent from last week. The gross numbers are comparable to those of Pathaan and Jawan. In the UAE, Saiyaara clocked nearly USD 150K, second only to Jawan in recent times, while Australia grossed AUD 70K, placing ahead of Pathaan and Animal and second only to Jawan. The total overseas gross for Saiyaara stands at nearly USD 13 million; it will be close to USD 15 million by Sunday. It remains on course to cross USD 20 million, though there will still be some work to do in the next two weeks. That said, when it has held up so well so far, it is likely it will continue to do so further as well.
