3. Vishal Jethwa on rumors of rift between Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter

A video that went viral earlier suggested that things aren't good between Homebound co-stars Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. Now, in a conversation with Zoom, Vishal Jethwa refuted such rumors and said, "Yeh sab baatein ban jaati hai. Aisa kuchh hai nahi. Maine Ishaan-Janhvi ko kaam karte dekha hai aur wo bahut hi comfortably kaam kar sakte hain." (I have seen Ishaan and Janhvi working together, and they are comfortable with each other).

Addressing the viral video where Janhvi Kapoor appeared to ignore Ishaan Khatter's extended hand on stage, Vishal Jethwa clarified what actually happened. The actor explained he was helping Janhvi with the tail of her outfit and wasn't sure how to manage it.

4. Aamir Khan considers several scripts before sealing deal with Rajkumar Hirani

Aamir Khan is all set for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par. He will next be seen in the Rajkumar Hirani-directed biopic of Dadasaheb Phalke. Now, a source exclusively told Pinkvilla, "While Raju was working on Dadasaheb Phalke, Aamir was simultaneously creatively involved to develop multiple scripts – ranging from two Rajkumar Santoshi films: Char Din Ki Zindagi and Andaz Apna Apna 2, to Ujjwal Nikam biopic with Dinesh Vijan, the Anurag Basu directed Kishore Kumar, and a film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra among others."

The source also talked about PK and shared, "There's a definite idea for PK 2, which Hirani, Abhijat, and Aamir are excited about, and they will revisit it after the Dadasaheb Phalke. It's a plot that organically leads itself to a sequel, with Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, but the boat is far away from sailing. Ranbir too is aware of the idea and is excited to play an alien," the source concludes.
