Clocking 12 years

Kriti Sanon turned nostalgic on Saturday as she celebrated 12 years in the Hindi film industry with a sweet social media throwback spree. The actor re-shared a fan-page collage featuring several of her memorable on-screen avatars over the years, and wrote, “Wow! It’s been 12 years since I entered this magical world of movies!” She also shared a clip from her debut film Heropanti (2014) having gol gappas.

The waiting game continues

Thalapathy Vijay

Thalapathy Vijay’s much-hyped swansong Jana Nayagan is still stuck waiting for CBFC clearance months after missing its Pongal release amid legal and political turbulence. Producer Venkat K Narayana said, “We’re waiting for certificate to come. I am sure that they’re going to give it anytime soon. We’ll release at the earliest.” The producer, who was visiting a temple, also celebrated Vijay’s rise in politics, adding, “He has become Jana Nayagan of Tamil Nadu.” Directed by H Vinoth, the film is expected to mark Vijay’s final big-screen appearance before he dove into politics. Fans, however, are clearly tired of waiting.

Back in business

Prakash Raj has wrapped up his schedule for the highly anticipated thriller Drishyam 3. Sharing a behind-the-scenes picture with a clapperboard on social media, the actor wrote, “Drishyam 3 Hindi: Just wrapped up a fantastic shoot with a wonderful team. I’m sure you’ll love it too.” Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the Ajay Devgn and Tabu-starrer went on floors in Goa last December and is slated for a theatrical release on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti. If the previous films are anything to go by, expect plenty of twists, lies, and perfectly timed alibis.
