Kareena Kapoor Khan likely to make her pan-Indian debut; will it be Mahesh Babu’s SSMB 29 or Prabhas’ Spirit? Here’s what we know

Pan-Indian films have become quite the norm in Indian cinema at the moment, and it seems that nearly most actors are ready to take the leap of faith in this regard. As per the latest report, it is none other than Kareena Kapoor Khan who is believed to be joining in the bandwagon of pan-Indian films and collaborating on a massive flick soon.

However, the report does not end here. It further suggests that the actress is being considered for a part of two highly anticipated projects that are lined up already. This includes SS Rajamouli’s directorial SSMB29 starring Mahesh Babu and Prabhas’ Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial Spirit.

While there has been no confirmation on the matter yet, fans and admirers of the actress have been quite excited with the latest speculation, and it would be quite interesting to note which project the actress would finally be a part of.

For the uninitiated, Kareena Kapoor Khan was earlier supposed to be a part of Kannada star Yash’s highly anticipated film Toxic, which includes a stellar star cast. She was rumored to be essaying the role of the actor’s sister in the film.

However, due to certain reasons, the diva backed out of the project. Later on, her role was offered to lady superstar Nayanthara, who has finally stepped on board for the same.

Coming back to the buzz about Kareena Kapoor Khan’s forthcoming pan-Indian film, it is supposed to be a multi-starrer project, including some of the most talented names from across the different regional film industries. 

The shooting of this tentative movie is said to be beginning by early 2025, and it would be eyeing a release somewhere in 2026. In fact, the rumor also highlights that the actress has already chalked off a significant part of her schedule to this film.

While not much is made aware of Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29, the fans of the actor have been going gaga over the massive collaboration happening between the actor and director of such an enigma.

On the other hand, Prabhas’ Spirit is speculated to be channeling unmatched energy and action, something that has been a specialty of the movies created by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

Brothers TRAILER: What Happens When Siblings Josh Brolin And Peter Dinklage Team Up For One Last Heist? Watch

Get ready for the unexpected! Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage have come together to portray siblings in Brothers. While the two leads happen to be a never-before-seen pair on screen, there are a lot of moments having similar emotions. 

For instance, when Marisa Tomei shares a private time with Dinklage’s character. Yes, the movie has a great cast, along with a great heist. As seen in the trailer, the movie seems to be around the emeralds, which are being chased by another great actor from the Hollywood film industry, Brendan Fraser. 

We see Fraser’s character throwing Dinknalge all the way into a bathtub while being dressed as a thief in all black, also asking him, “Where are my emeralds? What’s the hold-up?” 

Here, in the trailer of Brothers, as per Mike, the character being portrayed by Peter Dinklage, his family is not a usual one; with the talent of dentists and lawyers passing on through generations, they follow a long queue of felons. 

A flashback scene appears, somewhere around the beginning of the trailer, which shows a young duo trying to open a safe. 

It looks like, Mike will be shown as the mastermind of all the heists carried out by these two brothers, which also includes Brolin’s Moke, who has the talent of cracking codes and safes. 

In a secret conversation at a random urinal, Mike could be seen trying to convince Moke, to jump back into the heist business again, after he stepped out following his marriage.

Soon, intense music begins playing, but the sibling rivalry and fun don’t end yet. Well, the duo is still incomplete, as it soon becomes a trio, with their mother, Glenn Close, showing up in the trailer as well. 

However, her reintroduction into the lives of these two brothers is not taken well by Josh Brolin’s Moke. Close’s character is of one ungrateful mother, who explains how much the two emeralds are worth. 

This mind-blowing cast is stepping in for an extravagant heist of funny moments with the release of Brothers coming near. Meanwhile, we are also in for a treat, as the list of actors appearing in the film does not end with the above-mentioned names; it also includes Taylour Paige, M. Emmet Walsh, Jennifer Landon, and more. 

The movie is being directed by Max Barbakow, who is widely appreciated for his Andy Samberg-starring movie Palm Springs, while being penned by Macon Blair.

Brothers is based on a story from Etan Cohen and will release in selected theaters on October 10, before streaming on Prime Video on October 17.

Shabana Azmi finds it ‘tough to accept’ that she can’t have children with Javed Akhtar: ‘Society makes you feel incomplete’

Shabana Azmi has been married to veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar for almost 40 years now but the couple never embraced a child. The actress who cannot bear a kid due to medical reasons recently spoke to Indian Express about society making her feel incomplete and accepting the reality.

Azmi expressed, “It’s tough coming to terms with the fact that you can’t bear children. Society makes you feel incomplete. You have to work hard to pull yourself out of that.” The 73-year-old further encouraged all women to understand that the ultimate sense of their self must come from their work. Shabana said that women measure their self-worth from their relationships (wife, mother daughter…) but men measure it in reference to their career and work.

“I believe that should apply to all genders.” In a 2000 interview with Simi Grewal, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star spoke about how she didn’t take much time to move on from accepting the fact that she could not bear a baby. For Azmi, it wasn’t any sort of ‘major disappointment’ but rather she was herself amazed at how easily she accepted her fate.

Shabana said, “Once I realized I couldn’t have kids, I didn’t let it linger over and make me unhappy. I just packed my bags and carried on from there and was very grateful for many other things that I could do.” However, why did Shabana Azmi never adopt a child with Javed Akhtar? The Arth actress admitted that she was very happy with her stepchildren (Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar) and redirected all her love towards them.

“I am very friendly with Javed’s kids so that need was fulfilled. They have grown up and they are at a time when I don’t have to change their nappies or worry about their malaria,” said Shabana adding that not having children made her more focussed on her career because according to her ‘motherhood is very demanding’.

Javed Akhtar was previously married to Honey Irani from 1972 to 1985 and the duo are parents to filmmakers Farhan and Zoya. The lyricist recently saw the release of a docu-series based on his life and Salim Khan titled Angry Young Men.
