Luv Ranjan reveals why Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn starrer action drama didn’t work out: ‘The idea was to do a Salim-Javed kind of dialogue oriented film’

Ranbir Kapoor has kicked off 2023 with the release of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, today. The film, helmed by Luv Ranjan, stars Shraddha Kapoor opposite him. While this marks his return to the rom-com genre after seven years, the actor was earlier supposed to do an action drama with Ranjan, starring Ajay Devgn. However, the dates are the reason, the film just couldn’t happen and instead, Ranbir went with this script.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Luv Ranjan said, “I wanted to do an action film with Ranbir because I thought it would be a great idea to see him do it. He had never done it. It wasn’t just an action film. It was an action drama. I think it would be wonderful to see him do that; to make him play that hero. The idea was to do a Salim-Javed kind of dialogue oriented film. The wish was to make that film but it didn’t work out because of dates.”

He added, “Around that time, we randomly discussed about this (Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar) idea. We had discussed many ideas. Not just a couple but 8 to 10 different ideas. When we figured out that this film (action-drama with Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor) could not happen because of dates,  I just happened to ask him (Ranbir Kapoor) if we could do that (Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar) and he said, ‘Ya’.”

Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor will next star in Animal, helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It releases in August, this year. He has Brahmastra 2 starting towards the end of the year.

Zendaya in a skimpy animal print co-ord at Louis Vuitton’s star-studded Paris Fashion Week show deserves every ounce of attention

The Paris Fashion Week has begun. Models are worn out, fashion editors are swamped with reviews to write, influencers have taken their power to new heights, and celebs are yearning for a day at home in their tracksuits. Yet as the month of fashion draws to a close, what a way to go out with the City of Lights. On Wednesday, Paris Fashion Week began in earnest, promising a thrilling seven-day programme of the biggest names in fashion history showcasing their most recent creations. Given that the French capital is regarded as the fashion capital of the world and that iconic couture brands like Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Chanel were created there, it comes as no surprise that a star-studded crowd flocked to the city to witness the emergence of a new era in high-end fashion. There are a few well-known celebrities we always look forward to seeing at a Louis Vuitton show, including the brand ambassadors and steadfast Nicolas Ghesquière faves Deepika Padukone, Alicia Vikander, Sophie Turner, and Léa Seydoux but Zendaya was the surprise guest, showing up with longtime stylist Law Roach.

At Paris Fashion Week on Monday, Zendaya attracted attention as she arrived at the Louis Vuitton show at the Musée d’Orsay. With a bikini top and skimpy miniskirt, the 26-year-old actress showed off her stunning frame in an animal print coordinated outfit. This tiger suit, though, is unlike anything you’d see at a costume shop or on a team mascot; it’s stylish, seductive, and edgy all at once. A two-piece blazer and small short suit were part of Zendaya’s interpretation of the tiger pattern. The set’s textured fabric is meant to resemble tiger fur, and the collar and pockets have leather lining with big, vintage-style gold and black buttons. Zendaya wore the jacket open and simply a black bralette underneath while accessorising the shorts with a black leather belt.

Even while the suit alone is outstanding, Zendaya elevated it by pairing it with a pair of knee-high stiletto boots. The actress matched her little gold earrings with her two stacked gold necklaces by carrying a Louis Vuitton purse. Her hair was blown out and curled at the ends, and she wore natural makeup. Before taking her place in the front row, she smiled for the camera while carrying her necessities in a bag made by the upscale brand.

SUMMARY OF LOOK DETAILS:

ACTRESS: Zendaya

OUTFIT: Louis Vuitton

STYLIST: Luxury Law

Devil in the White City limited series from Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese not moving forward at Hulu

The Devil in the White City series adaptation is reportedly no longer moving forward at Hulu. The series, which initially billed Keanu Reeves as the lead, had been in various stages of development for more than a decade.

As Variety notes, the series had originally been ordered to series at the streamer in August 2022 after originally being put into development in 2019. At the time, Keanu Reeves was attached to star with Todd Field onboard to direct. However, Field had dropped out of the show in October, with Reeves also exiting.

As per sources, Reeves came onboard for the series due to Field’s involvement, but dropped the drama from Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio once Field did. As per other sources, series producers Hulu and Paramount Television Studios and Disney’s ABC Signature had been in talks with Jeremy Allen White and Jude Law along with director Matt Ross for the project.

Per the official logline, the show “tells the true story of Daniel H. Burnham, a demanding but visionary architect who races to make his mark on history with the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer and the man behind the notorious ‘Murder Castle’ built in the Fair’s shadow.”

Reeves was attached to play Burnham in the show which is based on the book of the same name by Erik Larson. The series also had Sam Shaw attached as writer, showrunner and executive producer alongside DiCaprio and his Appian Way partner, Jennifer Davisson, Lila Byock and Scorsese. As the outlet notes, there are plans to shop the project to other outlets.

“Bahut interesting hoga agar hum ek dusre ke universe mein ghusne lage aur characters udhaar lene lage! Imagine if Sid from Wake Up Sid meets Sonu from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, or if Chulbul Pandey and Singhan collaborate” – Luv Ranjan

Recently, Shraddha Kapoor, during the promotions of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, was asked her reaction if a crossover between Aashiqui (2013) and Rockstar (2011), starring her co-star Ranbir Kapoor, was made. After all, both are musically inclined and both have lost their respective lovers. Shraddha could not stop laughing when she heard this question.

Ranbir Kapoor, too, was asked about this in a recent media interaction. He was blown away as he told the journalist, “Oh wow. Very interesting. Bata Imtiaz aur Mohit Suri ko”! While Imtiaz Ali directed Rockstar, Mohit Suri helmed Aashiqui 2.

When the question was posed to Shraddha, she said, “I don’t know if Aarohi would ever love again. She’s Shirke in the end.” Ranbir was told about it and he replied, “That’s fine. We can collaborate as singers. It need not be a love story. Even I don’t think Jordan can fall in love. Woh toh end mein pagal hi ho gaya tha!”

Meanwhile, Luv Ranjan was asked whether he will consider a crossover between Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and his earlier hit, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). He opined, “I have often thought about it, sometimes even for fun. Like, imagine what will happen if Sonu meets Liquid (Divyenndu from Luv’s film Pyaar Ka Punchnama)? And I am aware that in this genre, no one has tried to do it. I once told Rana Daggubati that till now, we are making our own universes. Bahut interesting hoga agar hum ek dusre ke universe mein ghusne lage aur characters udhaar lene lage! Imagine if Sid from Wake Up Sid (2009) meets Sonu from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, or if Chulbul Pandey and Singhan collaborate. Such a time will also come. Even Spider-Man wasn’t originally in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but look how nicely he fit in the franchise.”
