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. Alongside his duties as a Producer, Hrithik has been busy with the pre-production of his much awaited Krrish 4. Hrithik will be directing the superhero...

Piper Laurie obituary

-
American actor best known for her roles in the classic films The Hustler, Carrie and Children of a Lesser God

For those who remembered Piper Laurie from her days as a contract player in a series of formulaic escapist pictures made by Universal Studios in the 1950s, it was hard to believe that the lonely young woman in Robert Rossen’s The Hustler (1961), who takes her own life when she is rejected by the pool shark Paul Newman, was one and the same. This Oscar-nominated performance was a surprise, and nothing Laurie did before or after touched it.

Having proved that she could act, Laurie, who has died aged 91, immediately retired from the cinema. She returned 15 years later, in another guise, this time specialising in playing harridans, principally in horror movies. The most celebrated was Brian De Palma’s repulsive and compulsive Carrie (1976), for which she was also Oscar-nominated, this time as the religious mother of the pubescent Sissy Spacek, intoning “the first sin was intercourse”.

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...
