Salaar: Prashanth Neel unveils first look of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Vardharaja Mannaar on his birthday

A new poster of the highly anticipated film Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel, produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the Hombale Films banner, featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran was released by the makers today. As actor Prithviraj turns a year older, the makers took today as an opportunity to wish their star member and to introduce a new character from the film Salaar. The magnitude of the character required an individual like Prithviraj who will be seen playing the character of Vardharaja Mannaar in the film. While his character of Vardharaja will be equal to that of Prabhas in the film, it will bring a great drama between these two stars that will be the highlight for the audience to watch out for in the film.

While speaking about Prithviraj’s character, director Prashanth Neel said, “Having such a superstar like Prithviraj in the film is an absolute pleasure. We couldn’t have had a better Vardharaja Mannaar. The way he played such an enormous character in the film justifies his magnificent presence with his brilliant performance. The drama is surely going to be insane having him in the movie. Being a superstar in the Malayalam industry he has a huge fan base who will be truly mesmerized to see him playing such a huge character on the screen. It was an amazing experience to direct two great actors like Prithviraj and Prabhas together in the film.”

After the box office success of KGF: Chapter 2, Prashanth Neel and Homebale’s next film Salaar has become one of the most awaited movies in the Indian film industry as it unites the filmmaker with the Baahubali star Prabhas.

Salaar is one of the most anticipated films. Paired opposite Shruti Haasan, the movie is being released pan India in 5 languages. The movie also has Prithviraj Sukumaran, besides a superlative ensemble cast of Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy and others in the key role.

Salaar is a combination of India’s two biggest franchises Bahubali and KGF as this is for the first time the Hombale Films, producers of KGF, the director of KGF, the technicians of KGF, and the hero of Bahubali will be coming together to serve India yet another blockbuster in 2023. The film is all set to be released on 28th September 2023.

The film will give a musical experience bursting with youth, rebellion, friendships, first loves and everything young adult, it still promises to have something for every generation.

The Archies is reportedly set for 2023 release on Netflix.

Shatruji is not just close to Hema but also Dharmendra. “Hema (Malini) is also a dear friend. Both Hema and Dharmendra have been my friends for years. It is rare for a friendship to survive so long in this industry where loyalties change every Friday,” said Shatrughan Sinha.

Shatruji names Hema and Dharmendra as his favourite co-stars. “All three of us have worked together in Dulal Guha’s excellent film Dost which I think was released in 1974. This is one of my favourite films. I think my wife Poonam has also w orked in a film with Dharmendra. Do you know we would have done Sholay together. But God and Ramesh Sippy had other plans,” laughs Sharuji’

Shatruji concludes, “I wish her many, many more happy healthy wholesome birthdays. Hema Malini is the nation’s Dream Girl. And may she remain the same forever. In today’s day and age of instant success Hema is a legend beyond the definitions of superstardom.”

Deepika Padukone to Ananya Panday, five Bollywood stars who successfully embraced the latex trend

The top ladies of Bollywood have successfully donned latex. Latex is one of the most uncomfortable materials anyone could wear. Luckily, these stunning Bollywood women are able to flaunt the latex fashion with grace. The clothes not only highlight your beauty but also amazingly sculpt your body shape. They give you a refined, fashionable appearance. With these Smokey latex costumes, Bollywood divas are upping their level of hotness. These are the best latex looks. Here are some of Bollywood actresses’ finest latex looks that will encourage you to buy some latex clothing.

DISHA PATANI
Disha Patani has performed an amazing job by choosing a black latex dress. A latex dress has the advantage of standing out practically right away, despite the fact that it lacks extravagant embellishments. She looks amazing in the body-con dress she’s wearing. We all know that Disha’s iconic sweetheart neckline is a favourite, and her strappy midi dress has one. The dress’s bust is bolstered by an appealing scallop shape over the top. It has slim fully adjustable shoulder straps with a split strap design at the front. Her dress is from the shelves of Atsuko Kudo and is worth Rs. 30,752.

Disha also won us over with her makeup. She can make everything appear nice with her long, mermaid-like hair and shimmering taupe eyelids. Her glam options were black eyeliner with wings, delicate shimmering eye shadow, glowing skin, precise contouring, flushed cheeks, dazzling highlighter, and on-trend brows. With a pair of black Mary Jane heels, Disha concluded her ensemble.

ANANYA PANDAY
A short dress is the one piece of clothing that Ananya Panday never fails to approve of, regardless of the circumstance. Ananya wore a bubblegum latex version of the party-ready outfit by Oh Polly to Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Mannat, ensuring that she stood out in the crowd. The sleek, sparkly dress, which had a scooped neckline, was a great option for anyone who enjoys the colour pink. Her outfit’s snug design emphasised her curves, and the high hemline showed off her flawlessly toned legs. Ananya finished off her look with a pair of nude tie-up heels, which boosted her overall appearance without over-styling her attire. She opted to go the minimalist approach and accessorised her pink bodycon dress with just a pair of silver hoops earrings rather than a big necklace or bracelet. The actor had glossy lips, thick waves, and a little dress on.

TAMANNAAH BHATIA
Tamannaah Bhatia manages to stand out in every outfit that she dons. She is not afraid of experimenting with her looks and her social media accounts say it all. The actor made a stylish appearance at an event wearing a blue latex bodycon dress. She turned up the heat in this cool ocean blue latex dress from the luxury clothing line Versace. Her dress features straps with the Versace signature Medusa logo and a corset bustline. The actor teamed the outfit with Tom Ford heels in the same colour which had golden elements to them and wore gold hoop earrings with the outfit. Tamannaah looked simply phenomenal.

DEEPIKA PADUKONE
For Gehraiyaan promotions, Deepika slipped into a beautiful red bodycon latex outfit. It is from the shelves of Miló Maria Spring 2022 collection. The body-con silhouette of the latex dress flawlessly highlights Deepika’s beautiful figure. It features a deep back, a keyhole detail on the front, a corseted bodice, a plunging halter neckline, and a midi length. The entire outfit is boned. The latex outfit’s startling blood-red colour also gave it an extra boost of intensity. With the gorgeous outfit, Deepika forwent all accessories and opted for a minimalistic look. The actress wore her hair open with a side part and in well-defined gentle curls. The glam options were completed with dewy skin, dazzling highlighter, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated eyelashes, subdued smokey eye shadow, nude lip tint, flushed cheeks, and on-trend eyebrows.

SONAKSHI SINHA
Celebs go all out when it comes to making a statement! Sonakshi Sinha, the star of the film Dabbang, posted pictures of herself wearing a seductive red strapless latex dress from Dead Lotus Couture on the social media site Instagram. The thigh-high split outfit was done with straight hair and a bright red lip for total glam. A somewhat smokey eye makeup was appropriate, and going completely accessory-free was a wise choice. The footwear of choice was a set of Christian Louboutin strappy heels. The confident and stunning diva polished off her appearance with her charisma and diva-ness.

Vijay Deverakonda holds a rifle as he visits Uri to meet the soldiers, see photos

Vijay Deverakonda returned to Mumbai after his Maldives trip, on which he reportedly was with his rumoured girlfriend Rashmika Mandanna. Though they didn’t share any pictures together from their trip, both were seen at the airport while leaving Mumbai. Even their arrival was captured by the paparazzi. After returning, the actor straight away dived into work. On Saturday, Vijay took to his social media to share a couple of photos of him visiting the Indian Army.

The actor was in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir. The actor was holding a rifle as he met ‘baddest men on the Indian front lines.’ The Liger actor posted a picture of himself lying on the ground as he tried to learn to shoot. He wrote, “With the baddest men on the Indian front lines! #URI.”

The actor also shared a series of photos of himself visiting the valley. Vijay was engrossed in learning how to shoot real bullets. He also posed with the soldiers amid the picturesque view of Uri.

On the work front, Vijay Deverakonda is set to resume the shoot for Kushi with Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The latter is busy with the prep for Citadel India. Once her dates are locked, the shoot will resume.

Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda was most recently seen in Liger which failed to work at the box office. The film starred Ramya Krishnan and Ananya Panday among others. It marked the Hindi debut of Vijay. But, even with the heavy promotions and multiple city tours, the film really didn’t work in their favour. But, the director and the actor will be working together again. He has Jana Gana Mana with Puri Jagannadh next which is scheduled for 2023 release.
