Living on their own

After Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor is all set to move out of her parents’ house to live independently. Both Alia and Priyanka were recently in the news since they got their own houses, a stone’s throw away from their parents’ houses. We hear that Sonam Kapoor is following the same pattern, according to news reports; the Khoobsurat actress has bought a duplex apartment in a posh area in Mumbai. Her mother’s sister will take charge of the interior designing. While Alia and Priyanka are yet to move into their respective houses, Sonam will reportedly move in by the middle of next year. 

Superstar in the making

There is no doubt that Varun Dhawan has turned out to be a surprise at the box office and has proved that he is consistent when it comes to giving hits. This year he wowed critics with Badlapur and created euphoria at the box office with ABCD 2. With projects like Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale co-starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Kriti Sanon, which releases later this year, and Karan Malhotra’s Shuddhi along with Alia Bhatt, the future only looks brighter for this Student of the Year sensation. 

Salman ready for 2017

The actor might be turning fifty this December but there is no stopping Salman Khan. The superstar does not want to let go of Eid dates, as he is known to constantly churn out blockbuster movies that release on Eid. Last year was Kick, which went on to shatter box office records. This year, he is ready with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which is already gaining a positive buzz in the market. Yash Raj films have already blocked Eid 2016 for Salman’s Sultan, which will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. We now hear that Arbaaz Khan will release Dabangg 3 on Eid 2017. Even though no script or actor has been finalised, they are all set on the release date. 

Kangana keeps busy

The Tanu Weds Manu Returns sensation is all set to go to New York for research for Hansal Mehta’s film Simran. The entire film will be shot in the US. Apparently the film is based on a real-life incident. After extensive research on this film in NYC, Kangana will head to a small island in Mexico, where the actress has plans to live like a hippie for a few days to recharge herself. Once Kangana is done with her vacation and Simran, she will start shooting for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Rangoon, a period film set during the Second World War. 

Salman-Nawaz friendship thrives

Salman Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui first came together for Kick, and apart from mutual respect, the two did not bond much during the shoot of the film. But since they started shooting for Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Kashmir, the two have become great friends. No wonder Nawazuddin is being called a new favourite of Salman. According to the buzz in tinsel town, the Lunchbox star is all set to sign an important role in Salman Khan starrer Sultan. Nawazuddin is in touch with the makers to research and discuss more about his character in the film that is based on wrestling. We hear that the Dabangg actor also helped him finalise a fat paycheck for this YashRaj Films’ production.
