Actress Sharvari Wagh is currently busy filming Alpha alongside Alia Bhatt. She is also enjoying the success of her recent films Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa. Wagh made her acting debut with Kabir Khan’s The Forgotten Army: Azaadi Ke Liye, but prior to that, she worked as an assistant director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Recently, she revealed that she was initially set to make her debut with Bhansali and also “got shortlisted for the same, but the project didn’t materialize due to technical reasons”.

Now, in a chat with News18 Showsha, she revealed that she became an assistant director on the Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone starrer when she went in to audition for a film that was being produced by the filmmaker. “I was supposed to do a film with Sanjay sir’s production house. I had auditioned for that and had gotten shortlisted,” she recalls. However, things didn’t go as planned and the project was put on the backburner. 

Talking about it, she says, “We did a couple of workshops and then there was a bit of pause on that film because of some technical reasons. They had to figure something out and rework on the script. 

During that time, she mentioned asking if she could assist them. She noted that Bajirao Mastani was also in production, and she expressed her desire to intern on that film. They agreed and were very pleased to offer her the opportunity. 

Meanwhile, on the work front, she is busy shooting for Shiv Rawail’s Alpha with Alia Bhatt. Alpha is part of YRF’s action and reportedly will hit theaters in 2025. The duo recently wrapped up Kashmir schedule and shared picture from the sets and returned to Mumbai. Pinkvilla earlier revealed that Alia Bhat would portray a super-agent in the YRF Spy Universe, joining the ranks of Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Shah Rukh Khan.

Pinkvilla also reported that Bobby Deol had been cast as the antagonist, while Anil Kapoor was rumored to be part of the ensemble. The movie is directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra.

Shah Rukh Khan is truly the king of hearts and certainly knows how to win over his fans. He is blessed with three children: Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam Khan. During a past appearance on a TV show, the Jawan actor shared the reason behind naming his youngest son, and the heartwarming explanation that he wants his kids to feel ‘desh wala secularism in ghar’ will totally melt your hearts. 

During an old appearance on Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat, Khan was asked by a fan why he named his youngest son AbRam and what the name meant. He responded, “First of all, Hazrat Ibrahim in Islam is known as Abraham in the Bible, and in Judaism, it’s Abram. I thought that since my wife (Gauri Khan) is Hindu and I am Muslim, we wanted our kids to feel a sense of secularism at home. Many people didn’t like it, and it became a controversy, but I believe that in our home, we have the same secularism as our country.”

In an old interview with The New Indian Express, Shah Rukh Khan was asked how his life had changed after the birth of AbRam, especially since his youngest son was in the spotlight more than Aryan or Suhana. In response, Khan shared that AbRam enjoyed accompanying him in public, unlike Aryan and Suhana, who were more conscious of crowds.

He described finding a close friend in AbRam, calling him a little mad like himself, as they would jump around, shout, and play silly games. One of AbRam’s favorite games was covering his face and asking, “Papa, where is AbRam?” Khan added that while fatherhood had made him more gentle, he had become even gentler with AbRam due to the child’s innocence.

On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is set to star in Sujoy Ghosh’s King alongside Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma. The film is described as a high-octane action thriller, showcasing Khan in a rugged and intense role.

King revolves around a mentor-protégé relationship between Khan and Suhana, with Abhishek Bachchan portraying the antagonist. The film’s music and background score are composed by Anirudh, while a top-tier team has been assembled to create the action sequences.
