1. Kangana-SRK To Star In A Film Together?
Rumour has it that Kangana Ranaut and Shah Rukh Khan are being considered for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film together.
Before we jump the gun, Kangana made it a point to say that the film is in a very “premature stage”, so it may or may not work out.
Sanjay sir just spoke to me about the film, saying that he wants to make it with me and Shah Rukh sir. But it’s at a very premature stage. It’s not that I am working with Shah Rukh sir tomorrow or something like that… So, yeah, like I said, it’s at a very premature stage.Kangana Ranaut, Actor
Kangana recently walked the ramp for designer Tarun Tahiliani at a fashion week. She will next be seen in a biopic based on Rani Lakshmibai’s life, Jhansi Ki Rani, which the actor believes to be a relevant film.
I think Jhansi Ki Rani is a very relevant film for many reasons and one of those reasons is the reminder of the amount of sacrifice and work that has been put in by people. It’s also a reminder to value things much more than we actually do and to instill that passion and pride for our country which people even in testing times had.Kangana Ranaut, Actor

2. Kareena Is Definitely Part Of Veerey Di Wedding
Despite rumours about Kareena Kapoor Khan dropping out of Veerey Di Wedding, we now hear the actress will very much be a part of the film. This news was confirmed by Sonam Kapoor, who is also a part of the project along with Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania. The film is being produced by Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor.
Sonam very firmly shut down all rumours of a rift between the makers of the film and Kareena, who is expecting her first child in December.
Nobody from the newspaper has contacted us nor they are picking up the phone for clarification. Honestly, this is just gossip. We are about to start shooting certain portions of the film. However, most of the film will be shot in April post-delivery. It’s a completely untrue and irresponsible way of writing news. I didn’t expect that.Sonam Kapoor to IANS

3. Where There Is Rajjo, There Will Be Sonakshi
While earlier reports suggested that the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3 will have Parineeti Chopra essay the role of Rajjo, Shotgun Junior decided to clear the air surrounding the issue.
The actor said that if the character of Rajjo were to be in the film, then it would be played by her. She made it a point to mention that all the rumours about the cast of Dabangg 3 are false because the script is yet to be finalised.
The script is not in place as they (makers) are still working on it. I (my character) haven’t died in Dabangg 2. Rajjo (Sonakshi’s character) will always be Rajjo, irrespective of how they take the story forward, like either there are additions or subtractions made to the cast. If there is a character of Rajjo in Dabangg, it will always be played by me.Sonakshi Sinha, Actor
The actor whose launchpad was Dabangg also said that she would be open to even a cameo in the film.
