On the other hand, Junoon, the queen of dark forces, is also on a quest to get hold of the Brahmastra.Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo in the first part. If reports are to be believed, the second part will feature Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. It will be interesting to see how the Astraverse develops in the sequel to 'Brahmastra' and beyond.The film gathered positive responses from the audience and collected over Rs 425 crore gross worldwide at the box office.Talking about the preparations for the character and film, Ranbir said, "Shiva was a very complex character on paper. And we had to do a lot of prep to bring him to life. The way he walks, runs, fights, dances - almost every aspect of his physicality that involved movement- had to be designed. His relationship with fire needed to be graphed - both emotionally and physically. I trained a lot and did many workshops with Ayan and a few specialists, including Ido Portal, who helped me with that graphing. And it finally translated into the character and journey you see on screen."Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranbir is busy shooting for 'Animal'. He also has Luv Ranjan's rom-com in the kitty.

At a time when veteran Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkinenis family is under media scrutiny for son Naga Chaitanyas troubled marriage with actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Aamir Khan has unexpectedly come forward to express his solidarity with the Akkineni parivar.At an event to promote Naga Chaitanyas forthcoming release Love Story in Hyderabad last week, Aamir showed up and spoke glowingly about Naga Chaitanya. A source from Hyderabad tell me, This was clearly a move to give Naga Chaitanya a clean chit in the ongoing Naga-Samantha split stories. It was very sporting of Aamir to show up uninvited.Aamir and Naga Chaitanya had recently shot together for the Aamir-starrer in Ladakh where Naga had sportingly agreed to step into a cameo part after Vijay Sethupathi opted out. Ever since then, Aamir has taken a shine to Naga giving him career and relationship advice.Aamir Khan arrived at the event in Hyderabad with Naga Chaitanya and proudly announced that he had gate-crashed as he wanted to say some things about Naga. He then proceeded to praise Nagas soft-spoken nature and his spirit of generosity. Aamir even praised Naga Chaitanyas parents for the upbringing that they had given him.Many in the Telugu film industry see Aamirs glowing report-card on Nagarjunas son as a tacit support for the Akkineni family in the ongoing marital differences between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.
Updated: May 27, 2021 - 9:28 AM IST Samantha Akkineni's family is worried about the reaction to The Family Man 2 trailer. Her protective father-in-law Telugu superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni has been asked not to comment on the growing protests .But Nagarjuna is clearly super-annoyed by the premature protests Says a source close to the family, Nagarjuna is no stranger to protests and attacks. But he wont tolerate his children being attacked. And Sam, as he affectionately calls her, is like a daughter of the family. Nagarjuna gets very upset to see any of his children in a vulnerable situation.The savage trolling targets Samantha Akkineni for allegedly hurting Tamil sentiments by playing what some have seen as a terrorist with Pakistan links. The brouhaha is a matter of concern for Nagarjuna and his son Naga Chaitanya.The family is hoping to see all the controversies die down once the series is aired. In the meanwhile, Samantha Akkineni has been allegedly instructed by the show producers Amazon to not comment on the issue at all.
Updated: May 15, 2021 - 11:35 AM IST Nagarjuna Akkinenis star-son Naga Chaitanya, who has already made a name for himself as a leading man in Telugu cinema, is all set for a Bollywood debut.Informed sources say Naga has signed up for a pivotal role in the Aamir Khan project Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of the Tom Hanks classic Forrest Gump. Cynics may argue that with Aamir playing the title role what possibly could Naga play in Laal Singh Chaddha?Banish the skepticism. Apparently, Naga has a well-etched key character to play. Otherwise why would Naga agree to make time for a Hindi film when he is so busy down South? In fact, he has been shooting for a film even now during lockdown. Like his father Nagarjuna, and his wife Samantha Akkineni, Naga Chaitanya has no craving for Bollywood. The only reason Naga agreed to do a Hindi film at this point of his career was that he liked the role, the source revealed.When spoken to Naga Chaitanya, he didnt deny the development but chose not comment on it. Says Naga, Its better any kind of news regarding the project comes from the production house directly.
