Saturday Night Star Finn Wolfhard Reflects On What His Dream SNL Gig Would Look Like: ‘I Think It Would Be Fun To…’

Finn Wolfhard opens up about his dream to step on the Saturday Night Live stage ahead of playing a part in the Saturday Night film. In conversation with People Magazine, the actor reflected on his role and also detailed his dream debut on the comedy sketch show.

Sharing the details, the actor claimed that if given a chance, one moment he would recreate would be of the Underground Rock Festival sketch that is known for its rapping skills. 

While sitting for an interview with the media portal, the actor mentioned, “They were hosts of this terrible metal festival, and they would do themed commercials announcing the lineup.”

He further added, “I was watching that recently and I thought it was so funny because it’s just an excuse to basically name a bunch of random bands. I think that sketch would be really funny to bring back.”

Meanwhile for one guest he would like to be present during his gig, is the Indie rock band or the 90s alt band. As for the Stranger Things star’s role in the Saturday Night film, Wolfhard will play the role of NBC Page, while the film is directed by Jason Reitman.

Ella Hunt plays Gilda Radner, Emily Fairn plays Laraine Newman, Matt Wood plays John Belushi, and Kim Matula plays Jane Curtin in the main cast. 

Other actors to have an appearance in the film include Nicholas Podany, Rachel Sennot, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Braun, Cooper Haufman, and Jon Batiste, among others. 

According to the official synopsis of the film, “Full of humor, chaos and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words.” 

As for Wolfhard, the actor claimed that for him to be a part of an iconic film is in itself a passion project, and he is quite excited about it. “I’m really proud to be in the scenes that I’m in, and very proud to be a part of a movie like that and to be a part of a cast that is just so great,” claims the young actor. 

The Saturday Night is available to watch in theaters now.

Alia Bhatt wants Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make Salman Khan starrer now-shelved film Inshallah someday: ‘It’s a lovely love story’

Alia Bhatt, who collaborated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the 2022 film, Gangubai Kathiawadi, is reuniting with him again. Alia will work with the director in Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. The actress called her now-shelved film, Inshallah, a “lovely love story” and wants Bhansali to make Salman Khan-starrer someday.

In a recent interview with Lallantop, Alia Bhatt expressed that she looks forward to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s project, Inshallah. When asked about the possibility of Alia and Salman’s shelved film, the actress expressed hope saying that she wants the project to see the light someday.

Referring to Inshallah as a “brilliant” project, the Gangubai Kathiawadi star called it a “lovely love story”. Without mentioning if she wants Salman Khan to star in it, the actress said, “Whatever Sanjay sir decides will be the best for the film!”

Earlier in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Sanjay Leela Bhansali revealed that Alia Bhatt was deeply affected after Inshallah was scrapped. Bhansali recalled that Alia “broke down, cried, and locked herself in the room”.

However, a week later, the ace filmmaker called her and offered a lead role in the 2022 magnum opus, Gangubai Kathiawadi.

For the uninitiated, Inshallah was shelved after Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Salman Khan’s creative fall-out. Producer Jayantilal Gada once told Bollywood Hungama that the actor-director duo had “creative differences” about the film’s ending.

In an earlier exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Bhansali shared that he makes spontaneous decisions to direct films. The director shared that he takes the call when he gets the “inner calling from deep down”.

Referring to his now-shelved movie, Inshallah, the filmmaker hinted at how he stopped working on the project and moved on with Gangubai Kathiawadi.

On the work front, Alia Bhatt also has a love story project lined up in the future. She is best known for movies like Highway, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Dear Zindagi, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Gully Boy, Brahmastra: Part One Shiva, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and more.

Alia worked with Karan Johar in his 2023 directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. She was paired with Ranveer Singh in the movie.
