She also revealed that she was wearing her own maternity line at the event. “These are really comfy lounge pants. It’s Ed-A-Mamma, Maternity Wear. This was like a lounge set but the layer was not making any sense. It was looking like I was coming to the lounge like a Forbes event. So I paired it up with this blazer which is not mine. But that’s what I discovered! The maternity wear was all a certain style which was screaming maternity. I wanted to bring my own style into it which is what I did,” added the actress.

Speaking of her forthcoming films, Alia Bhatt is currently gearing up for the release of her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone where she co-stars an ensemble cast including Gal Gadot.

The project, first announced back in 2020, will see Don Cheadle reprise his MCU role of Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes, aka War Machine. Marvel had previously aimed to begin production in 2023, though the team was reportedly notified on Thursday of the project’s shift in direction. Yassir Lester is still on board write a feature script for the film.

No director has been officially attached to the project. As the report notes, plot details are still being hushed although it was brought up earlier this month at Disney’s D23 Expo when Cheadle joined Marvel Studios producer and president Kevin Feige on stage, revealing a logo for what was then touted as being a six-episode event series.

Dia Mirza backs Greendigo as a strategic investor and brand ambassador

Greendigo, a three-year-old brand focussing on offering organic clothing options for babies has partnered with actor Dia Mirza. Mom, actress, producer, social worker, and long-time champion for sustainability, Dia Mirza, managed by Exceed Entertainment, has chosen to back Greendigo as the brand echoes deeply with her own eco-friendly and conscious lifestyle.

The actor has stepped in as Strategic Investor and Brand Ambassador for the female-founded, sustainability-driven, baby clothing brand. She and her team at Exceed Entertainment strongly believe that the future of our little ones is directly dependent on the choices that we as parents make today. Staying true to the belief, the team together has set out on a mission to partner with like-minded businesses that can affect changes at multiple levels under Dia’s tutelage and allegiance to a safer and healthier environment. Greendigo, an SDGs-compliant business is a very effective and logical chapter in her already existing eco-sphere of sustainable businesses.
Greendigo combines practical designs with organic materials and sustainable processes to create one-of-a-kind garments that are loved by children and adults alike, all whilst ensuring a zero-carbon footprint.

Mirza joins the Greendigo family as a parent first, an advocate second, and an investor third, with the primary goal of bringing alive the company’s powerful and heartfelt purpose to a broader audience.

“We’re thrilled to have Dia on board in a multi-pronged capacity,” says Barkha Bhatnagar Das, Cofounder, Greendigo. “We have a clear and focused vision, which is to make organic kids clothing a norm rather than an exception. With someone as relatable and honest as Dia, we have no doubt that our message will hit home.”
With this partnership, Greendigo hopes to create awareness about the harmful effects of toxic chemicals that are found in conventional baby clothing.

Greendigo hopes to leverage Mirza’s wide and diverse platform to push for a switch to organic, specifically clothing and nursery essentials that focus on comfort, quality, safety, functionality and aesthetics.
“There’s nothing more important to us than the comfort and safety of babies. So, we spend a lot of time understanding the unique challenges that new parents face,” explains Meghna Kishore, co-founder, Greendigo.

Being a new mom and speaking about the strategic partnership, she said, “What I love most about Greendigo is the fact that it speaks to the parent and the planetarian in me. As a mom to a year-old baby boy, I’ve become deeply protective of all nature’s creations. Hence, supporting a brand that safeguards the well-being of all forms of life, couldn’t make me happier. The fact that the brand walks the talk when it comes to sustainable practices resonated with me 100% - be it their internationally certified products, plastic-free packaging, zero carbon emission operations or alignment with all 17 UN SDGs.”

It’s safe to say that this union is a natural extension of both parties, Mirza and the Co-founders, beliefs and values. This also throws light on the growing baby wear segment and the potential this industry has.

Ayan Mukerji reveals he wanted to do a bear sequence like the lavish animal sequence in RRR; confessed he couldn’t do it due to budget constraints

Brahmastra has gone on to roar at the box office with the film receiving a lot of appreciation from fans and viewers. Despite the low phase in Bollywood, the fantasy adventure bringing together real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt together for the first time, has been doing good business at the box office. While expectations are riding high not just for Part One but also for the upcoming two parts of the trilogy, Ayan Mukerji has asserted that the next parts will be academically inclined towards Indian mythology rather than human emotions. Recalling his experience of shooting for Part One, the filmmaker revealed that he had to comprise on shots due to budget constraints including a scene that was eventually incorporated in the SS Rajamouli film RRR.

Reminiscing about one such incident, Ayan Mukerji revealed during FICCI 2022, that he had planned a bear sequence quite similar to the one showcased in RRR featuring Junior NTR. However, he couldn’t achieve what SS Rajamouli could, because of budget restrictions. Speaking about the kind of compromises he had to make during Brahmastra, Ayan said during a media interaction, “I think there is no life or relationship without compromise. Even in Brahmastra, there were many times when I had thought of something but couldn’t do it that way or there were times when we hoped we could do it but were not able to. Let me tell you something interesting. In RRR, there is this interval sequence where all the animals jump out, which is an incredible sequence. That sequence is done by Namit’s company as well. A few years ago, I had thought of such an incredible sequence with a bear in Brahmastra. But due to budget constraints, we had to cut the bear out of part one but it was a great sequence. Now in RRR, they managed to put the sequence with a lot of other animals. Even now, when I meet Namit I ask him about how he made me compromise on the bear sequence. So you do compromise but still, try to do your best.”

Ayan Mukerji reveals he doesn’t want to take up another 7 years for Brahmastra 2; reveals what Part Two and Part Three are all about

Readers would be aware that Brahmastra was announced years ago, way back somewhere in 2015. Seven years later, the film finally saw the light of the day and has opened up to rave reviews from audiences. The VFX of the film is being highly appreciated and there are a lot of expectations riding high on the second part of the trilogy. When the film was announced with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, filmmaker Ayan Mukerji asserted that it is only the first part of the Brahmastra trilogy. Speaking about the other two parts at the recently held FICCI event in Mumbai, Ayan, who shared the stage with producer Karan Johar, opened up about the details of the film.

At the recent FICCI event, Ayan Mukerji said, “We hope we can complete the film faster and people can enjoy it. That's the vision! Our production processes are now being able to fasten this Astraverse. It was very important to achieve that because we can’t take another 7 years to make Part 2. So how do we integrate that quality within that amount of time?” The filmmaker asserted that the work on the second installment of the trilogy will be completed at a much faster pace. He went on to add, “I feel that urge to start working on part two how to get faster. So that's the vision. We have to make this all happen.”

During the same event, Ayan also spoke about what the second and third parts will be like. While there have been theories and ideas floating around about what the next film will be, the filmmaker opened up by asserting that the two films will be a lot more technical unlike the first. He added, “I think what also attracted a lot of people was Indian spirituality along with the visual spectacle. I think it’s a very important ingredient. I realized very early on that the bedrock of this fantasy needs to come from Indian history.”

He added, “I did not approach the first part in a scholarly fashion, I approached it in a very emotional fashion. In fact, as I move on to part two and part three, we might get a little more academic on Astras and will be reading a lot about Indian mythology. But in Part One, I approached it in a very emotional manner. The first part was more about my connection with my faith, with God, stuff in me that I had forgotten, the shlokas that I had heard, what was my understanding of Hindu philosophy and I just expressed all of it. I went with this idea that if I do this in a pure way with a pure heart, somehow it will go through very naturally and people will not have any issues.”

He went on to speak about how Brahmastra did not get entangled in any controversy because he made it with pure intention. “I think we had one issue with Ranbir kicking the Kandi in the trailer you know he was wearing slippers but it went through very nicely.

Paramount removes Star Trek 4 from its upcoming slate of films a month after director Matt Shakman’s exit

Star Trek’s fourth entry has been removed from Paramount Picture’s slate of upcoming releases.  The project, produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, had been dated to hit theaters on December 22, 2023. According to Variety, the news comes roughly one month after director Matt Shakman exited the Star Trek film, presumably to rejoin the MCU. Shakman first became attached to the sequel in the summer of 2021.

The Star Trek announcement even landed the same day Shakman was nominated for an Emmy for the show. As per the report, it was also announced by Abrams this February, during the Paramount Global investors day presentation, that a new Trek movie “will be shooting by the end of the year and will feature our original cast.”

Star Trek franchise features Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Bones, John Cho as Sulu and Simon Pegg as Scotty, who were all expected to return for the fourth untitled follow-up. The last Trek feature came in 2016 with Star Trek Beyond directed by Justin Lin, which became the lowest grosses of any of the Trek reboots from Bad Robot.

While Chris Pine and other stars have all expressed their interest in doing a fourth film, they also expressed skepticism it could move ahead that quickly. But as of now, it’s unclear whether Paramount will move the date and, if they do, who will fill the director’s chair.

Meanwhile, Star Trek has five ongoing Trek series: Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

While the debate on the matter is making rounds on the internet, singer Sona Mohapatra has jumped into the conversation and defended her contemporaries. 

Before voicing her opinion, the ‘Ambarsariya’ singer shared a tweet bashing Bollywood music. In her tweet, Sona wrote, “the constant showcasing of a lack of courage to back new compositions, songwriters, disrespecting creators, writers has destroyed the fabric of what made #Bollywood music culturally relevant.The horror of the Sri Lankan ‘Manike Mage’ remade, case in point2. Puke worthy for me.”

The ‘Jiya Laage Na’ singer shared another tweet, in which she addressed Neha Kakkar and Falguni Pathak’s feud while commenting on people assuming that Neha-Falguni’s online tiff was nothing but a “publicity stunt”. Sona’s tweet read, “& why are people so silly that they’re buying into the PR release of a reality show trying to ride the #FalguniPathak news cycle & discredit her reaction as a publicity stunt? Don’t they know that such shows record episodes much in advance & she must not have a clue then?”. 

Meanwhile, Hindustan Times has also published a report quoting the team of Falguni Pathak. An insider told the publication, “This particular segment was shot during the auditions round. It was shot in August. The timing is all coincidental. They shot the chunk for Navratri. In fact, at that time, Neha and Falguni were quite cordial. Currently, Neha doesn’t even wish to talk about Falguni and was quite clear that she won’t promote the particular episode or talk about what it was like to have Falguni on the sets”.
