EXCLUSIVE: Fact Check - Hrithik Roshan, Siddharth Anand's Fighter sequel is NOT in the making

-
Recently, an Instagram handle put up a news that a sequel to Fighter (2024) is being made and that the film would go on floors this year. On this post, Fighter's director and one of the producers, Siddharth Anand, commented with an evil eye emoticon. It was seen by many as a confirmation that the piece of news about Fighter 2 is indeed true. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that there's absolutely no truth to Fighter 2 speculations. A source close to Hrithik Roshan said, "There is no discussion between Hrithik and Siddharth regarding Fighter 2. These rumours are baseless." Hrithik Roshan recently announced two projects as a producer, under the banner name of HRX Films. The actor has taken up an active role of creatively developing the web series Storm and the comedy film Mess, both backed by Amazon Prime Video.

Bad loser: how Fair Play unravels the delusion of the ‘good guy’

The conversation-starting Netflix thriller shows a seemingly supportive man unravel when his fiancee starts outearning him

In the beginning, Emily and Luke are golden. They’re ambitious and imminently wealthy young professionals, dressed in the sleek monochromes of quiet luxury. They’re so in love that they can’t even make it through a wedding without pawing at each other. When a bathroom tryst gets derailed by her period blood, it’s a silly prelude to their rushed engagement, a mess of passion and, in the new Netflix thriller Fair Play, an omen of pain ahead.

The caustic debut film by the writer/director Chloe Domont sets up a model relationship in a rarefied and ruthless space. Emily (Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor) and Luke’s (Alden Ehrenreich) love has all the hallmarks of something incipient and promising – they share an apartment, a bed, a lifestyle. But by dating each other, they are breaking company policy at the cutthroat Manhattan hedge fund where they both work. Their attraction thrives on secrecy – they barely acknowledge each other at the office, then have sex on the floor at home – as much as the other’s perceived shrewdness at navigating the type of workplace where boilerplate HR trainings occur in view of an employee beating a monitor with a golf club.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
