Kareena Kapoor Khan to star in a biopic?

Gorgeous Kareena Kapoor Khan welcomed a baby boy Taimur Ali Khan with husband Saif Ali Khan on December 20, 2017. Since then, it has all been about Taimur and getting back in shape. 

Kareena will be starring along with Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania in Veere Di Wedding which is being directed by Shashanka Ghosh and is jointly being co-produced by Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. 

The shoot of the film was going to commence last year but because of Kareena's pregnancy, the shoot was stalled. Once Sonam finishes her Padman schedule opposite Akshay Kumar, the Veere Di Wedding team will start shooting.

Since giving birth, Kareena has not signed any new movies but according to a famous tabloid, the actress has been approached by Omung Kumar to star in a biopic. 

A source revealed, "Omung has wanted to work with Kareena for quite some time and he has finally found the right script for her. It's a biopic and the actress and filmmaker will soon sit for a round of narrations. Then Bebo will take a call on the film."

If Kareena tells yes, this will be the first time for her to star in a biopic. Omung has previously directed Priyanka Chopra in Mary Kom and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Sarbjit.

Post the completion of his jail term, Sanjay Dutt’s first comeback with Bhoomi!




The rumours of Sanjay Dutt's comeback movie are widespread sometimes. The actor has been gearing up to start shooting for a new film post the completion of his jail term.

Presently, Sanju Baba as he is lovingly called will begin shooting for Omung Kumar's next. Titled Bhoomi, this movie will be the first outing for Sanjay and Kumar. Confirming the news, Sanjay revealed, "I have been looking for scripts that went beyond my screen persona. I wanted to do something vulnerable yet powerful. Bhoomi is an emotional and sensitive drama that explores the relationship between a father and daughter."

The actor will be seen in an unseen avatar and speaking about the movie, Omung told, "This one will keep the audience taut and on the edge of their seats. Bhoomi is an emotional, revenge drama that centers around the relationship between a father and daughter."

Bhushan is thrilled about the film and told, "Sanjay Dutt's versatility as an actor will be on display with Bhoomi. I am personally looking forward to this film." And Sandeep added, "Baba ( Sanjay) believed in the script from the day he heard it and has been the driving force behind this film. Bhoomi is a story that will buckle the trend. We are delighted that Sanjay Dutt is making a comeback through Bhoomi."


After Mary Kom and Sarbjit, Bhoomi will be Omung's third directorial.

Richa gifted a toy tractor to director Omung Kumar!

Richa Chadda, who will be seen playing a key role in Omung Kumar's forthcoming movie Sarbjit, gave a special gift to Kumar when the shooting of the movie wrapped up.

Confirming the same, Richa told, ''I was driving back from the location and spotted a tiny shop in the village selling local toys. We had just finished shooting an important tractor scene.
