Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor is on the remake bandwagon. The actor had a blockbuster hit with Kabir Singh which was Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy but his next remake, Jersey, didn’t do well at the box office. While he is also set for Ali Abbas Zafar’s next which is also a remake of the French film, Nuit Blanche, he is in advance talks to star in the Hindi remake of Malayalam thriller Mumbai Police. The film originally starred Prithviraj Sukumaran.
As per a report in a media portal, the actor is currently in talks for the project which is being produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur’s production house Roy Kapur Films. Rosshan Andrrews, who helmed the original film, will be directing the remake as well. He is currently working on the script with Hindi script writers.
Mumbai Police starred Prithviraj Sukumaran, Jayasurya and Rahman. The casting for the roles of the latter two actors is underway. Meanwhile, the makers are in talks with an actress from the South industry to star opposite Shahid Kapoor.
Kriti Sanon is currently one of the most sought after actresses with multiple projects in the pipeline with actors like Varun Dhawan, Kartik Aaryan, Tiger Shroff and even South superstar Prabhas. But the actress has faced her share of flops and failures in films. While the industry has several pros including fame and money, one of its biggest con is the fear of failure which often pushes a person to go through an emotional roller coaster. It was no different for Kriti Sanon but the actress asserts to Bollywood Hungama that there is no other option but to move on to the next in such situations.
In a heartfelt exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Kriti Sanon revealed that the best way to deal with failures is to face your emotions and then, move on to the next project. Speaking about her reaction, Kriti said, “I sulk, I cry, I do all of that the normal human beings do. You might see a strong woman on the outside, on screen and in interviews. But I feel it’s important to face your emotions. You can’t just brush them under the carpet, because it doesn’t work like that. We’re not made like that. You know, when we were kids, we were so simple. If we felt hurt, we cried. When we felt like laughing, we laughed. We didn’t care what people were thinking. But, I think as we keep growing, maturity is somehow equivalent to handling yourself a certain way in front of people. Like, I don’t let people see how affected I am by certain things. And that’s my strength. But I think I want to. If I sulking for a few days, I would sulk, if I feel like crying and I’m low, I would not want to talk to anyone, then, I would not want to talk to anyone. Or, I might be on a phone call with a friend and I might rant what I’m feeling. But I think I do realize that everything you like goes on and you have to move on.”
“I may be defensive about certain films because I’m so close to them. But I have to move on, I have to accept what has happened, this is what the destiny was. And there is nothing more you can do as an actor beyond a point. You take the experience, whatever you learn from it and you accept what has happened and move on to the next. There will be always a next hopefully,” she concluded.
Kriti Sanon will next be seen in the Kartik Aaryan starrer Shehzada, Tiger Shroff starrer Ganpath, Prabhas starrer Adipurush, Varun Dhawan starrer Bhediya in the pipeline.
Another episode of this season’s Koffee With Karan has been filmed. And this time, the guests are Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and her cousin Arjun Kapoor.
Mommy-to-be Sonam will be seen entering Karan’s set with her cousin for the first time. Arjun Kapoor has appeared on the much popular chat show, notably in an episode in 2014 when Sonam had appeared with her sister Rhea.
Karan Johar perhaps wanted a variety in the guests not repeating appearance of the two sisters (Rhea and Sonam), so he invited Sonam’s cousin Arjun for the Raksha Bandhan special.
Karan Johar confirmed the Sonam-Arjun appearance on his show.

This is just a feeling I have which I feel like sharing with everyone! I have grown to love Ranveer Singh! The man! The person! The Ball of love that he is! His ability to make everyone he meets feel so special… the love that he exudes and that consumes his being and his entire aura… his passion to express every little gesture of love ….”
He continued, “Over the period of my film I have observed him closely and at a distance as to what a solid guy he is! Yes he has his idiosyncrasies as an artist but that’s what we see translate so beautifully on celluloid! So he’s allowed! On a personal level I have been so touched on so many instances just by his generosity of spirit! I love you Ranveer! Never lose sight of that “good bacha” you were raised to be.”
