Post ka post mortem

After the pandemic saw most events being cancelled and many delayed, the much-anticipated 2022 Cannes Film Festival is set to kick off on May 17 and wind up on May 28. What makes this year’s event even more interesting is that Deepika Padukone will be on the jury of the prestigious film festival. The news was broken on social media by the festival’s official account. However, the post shared by them had a few glaring typos and grammatical errors. After some netizens pointed out the goof-ups, several others joined in, wondering what it would take for the festival’s social media team to proof the copy before sharing it.

Ishaan is living it up!

Ishaan Khatter knows how to live a life beyond films. Having gone on a road trip with brother Shahid Kapoor and friends a few years ago, the actor is now off to catch NBA (National Basketball Association) playoffs between Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Centre, Brooklyn.

It’s symphony for Akriti

Akriti Kakkar has embarked on a new mission — to record her tracks with a symphony. Along with her big team of musicians, she is creating a wide range of songs, from Bollywood retro to contemporary, Sufi to folk and mashups as well. Akriti says, “I thought it’s time to reinvent myself and up the scale.” The singer adds, “With this new stage outfit, I get to live in the bygone era. What is exceptional is that a lot of musicians are the ones who have played in actual recordings of legends like RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Kalyanji-Anandji, among several others. It’s an honour for me.”

Yesteryear cinema icon Mumtaz, who had been hospitalised due to severe stomach infection, is back home and in a quick recovery mode. The screen diva, who has been through some health issues in the past, was in a suburban hospital for a week.

Bonding over dance

With Hrithik Roshan, one can always find some common ground to bond over. Ask Mouni Roy, who shot an ad campaign with him in Amsterdam some time ago. The Brahmastra actor shared a picture with him online, saying, “From an amazing shoot day with this wonderful human.” We hear they bonded over dance. Even though it was a tight schedule with lots of scenes to be completed within a stipulated time, Duggu and Mouni chatted a lot about their favourite dance forms and how she continues to be amazed by his fluid moves in several chartbusters over the years.

Waiting for his Hollywood break

Tiger Shroff, who is gearing up for the release of Heropanti 2, recently revealed that he tried his luck with action in Hollywood films, but to no avail. “I have been offered [films] a couple of times. I have auditioned and failed a couple of times in auditions, but I am still trying. So let’s see,” the young action star has been quoted as saying.
