Bringing home the new car, the actor's photo was shared on the social media handle of the automobile company.Audi Q2 SUV is offered in five trim options - Standard, Premium, Premium Plus I, Premium Plus II, and Technology.

The cost of the SUV ranges from anything between Rs. 34.99 lakh to Rs. 48.89 lakh.On the work front, Saurabh Shukla will be once again getting behind the director's chair. He will helm the upcoming movie Jab Khuli Kitaab starring Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapur. He was last seen in Madam Chief Minister, which was released in January 2021. He is reportedly starring in Ranbir Kapoor starter Shamshera.
Applause Entertainment presents Jab Khuli Kitaab in association with Shoe Strap Films, an irreverent charmer of a film that will bring together the legendary Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia in a romantic union. A stage-to-screen adaptation of the Saurabh Shukla play, it will be helmed by the actor-director himself. The iconic duo will also be joined by the talented Aparshakti Khurana in a pivotal role. Samir Soni, Nauheed Cyrusi, and others will form the rest of this stellar ensemble.A timeless, deeply moving love story, Jab Khuli Kitaab features an older couple seeking a divorce after fifty years of togetherness. The film deals with the dysfunctionality of relationships and its impact on family, with dollops of humour and heart. The high-energy repartee, and the multi-generational family dynamics at the forefront also makes this the rare Hindi comedy that is both universal and intimate. A romance that cuts across all age groups, this is a film that asks the question what do love, passion and heartbreak have to do with age?Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, said, Jab Khuli Kitaab has an endearing, exciting idea at its core, which completely sets it apart from other romances. This film disrupts the usual tropes and reflects how love at any age can turn into a messy and inflammable affair. The script is sharp, observant and hilarious in equal measure, complemented by our wonderful ensemble of actors, led by the remarkable Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia. We are delighted to be collaborating with Saurabh Shukla and Shoe Strap Films for this truly special film.Writer-Director-Producer Saurabh Shukla says, Jab Khuli Kitaab is very close to my heart and I'm thrilled to have stalwarts like Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia as my leads. We all say that one should be transparent and clean in any relationship but how many of us are open to face the truth in our own relationships? The film is a rom-com with a couple in their 70s. You see them doing what any teenager will do in their relationships. The film is a joyride where you laugh, fall in love and cry with this unique couple. Im thankful to Sameer Nair for supporting me and making this happen.Naren Kumar, producer, Shoe Strap films stated This is a one of its kind film which deals with the love-hate relationship of a husband and wife. It's very quirky, funny, and emotional. The real star of the film is its script and these veteran actors added more magic to it. I think it will relate to masses and classes alike. We are really excited to collaborate with Applause Entertainment for our maiden film production under Shoe Strap Films and we feel it is our first step towards making many more movies together.Set in the majestic alpine regions of Uttarakhand, the film has recently wrapped its start-to-finish schedule in Ranikhet.
Theres never a dull moment on the sets of a film that has kids. Making the mood livelier and turning the set into a playground of sorts is what was seen by the cast and crew of Amazon Prime Videos upcoming film Chhalaang. Directed by Hansal Mehta, the film features the versatile Rajkummar Rao and Nushrratt Bharuccha in lead roles along with Zeeshan Ayyub, Satish Kaushik, Saurabh Shukla, Ila Arun, Jatin Sarna, and a bunch of children who are an integral part of the plot. Produced by Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the movie strikes a connect with children by releasing on the eve of Childrens Day. Add to that, with the fervour of Diwali around the same time, Chhalaang promises to be a film that appeals to the entire household providing a wholesome family-viewing experience.Chhalaang is an inspirational journey of PT Master Montu (Rajkummar Rao), and humorously addresses the importance of Sports Education in school curriculum. With kids being an integral part of the plot, director Hansal Mehta spent time researching on how to go about it. Recalling his experience working with kids, Hansal Mehta shared: The children in Chhalaang were cast locally from different places like Hisar, Karnal and Gurgaon. They are very natural with immense potential. Before shooting for Chhalaang, I had seen an interview of Shekhar Kapur, where he spoke about handling kids during Mr. India and Masoom, and how he got those amazing performances done from them. He said, Set them free, and that was something that stuck with me. I set them free, they were great fun and that is visible on screen. The relationship that they had developed with Raj, Nushrratt & Zeeshan makes the film come alive.Speaking about his first-time experience working with kids, actor Rajkummar Rao said, I had a great time with the children on the sets of Chhalaang, both on camera and off camera. They are the real stars. They were natural, phenomenally talented and have added so much value. Their enthusiasm levels are absolutely commendable, even when the temperature went from extreme heat to winters, all these children had the same vigour while shooting and they really inspired all of us."Rajkummar Raos fellow teacher Nushrratt Bharuccha is a Computer teacher and also plays his love interest. Sharing her thoughts about working with the kids, she revealed, Being around children always brings in a sense of nostalgia and Chhalaang took me back to my school days. The children we were shooting with were way smarter and naughtier than most of us were at that age and this actually kept us on our toes the whole time. Seeing their bright happy faces every morning was just so adorable!! I'm happy all kids will be able to enjoy Chhalaang during Diwali and Children's Day with their families."
She was probably the oldest debutante of Hindi cinema whose infectious energy and positive smile touched everyone.

Her grandson Abhas Joshi earlier took to social media to tell us that she was put on life support. Raid director Raj Kumar Gupta mourned the aged actors death on Twitter. Very sad to hear about the passing away of Pushpa Joshi ji. One of the highlights of my directing career was watching you perform in RAID. You were a live wire on and off the sets. Wherever you are you will be smiling and spreading happiness Dadi ji. We will miss you. RIP, he wrote. Very sad to hear about the passing away of Pushpa Joshi ji.

She made it to numerous memes, and everyone in the Raid team, including Ajay Devgn herself, was absolutely fond of her. May her soul rest in peace!
Actor Varun Dhawan recently said that he would like to collaborate with director Amar Kaushik who shot to fame with the 2018 film Stree.Amar Kaushik also directed the recently released film Bala.I love Amar as a director. He is someone with whom I would like to work in the future. I thinkBalas trailer is really unique and the film has really good actors like Saurabh Shukla , Javed Jaffrey, Yami Gautam , and Bhumi Pednekar and Ayushmann is obviously wonderful, said Varun, while interacting with the media at a special screening of Bala. I think this film was made because of Amar Kaushiks receding hairline, Varun laughed, before adding on a serious note: This problem (premature baldness) exists all around the world. It is something that people shouldnt run away from. I think whats great about Bala is that you (makers of the film) are taking on the problem head-on and making sure that people dont feel embarrassed by it. Ayushmann (Khurrana) is doing really good work at the moment. Right now, he is in Banaras, and I wish that his film does really well, so that the industry makes lots of money and this man (Dinesh Vijan) can invest that money in my film! Meanwhile, on the work front, Varun Dhawan is currently shooting for David Dhawans Coolie No 1 opposite Sara Ali Khan.
