Ananya Panday and Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, have been friends since childhood, having grown up together. In a recent interview, Panday reflected on her younger years and shared her experience of creating vlogs with Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor. She revealed that although she never posted them online, Aryan would jokingly threaten to “leak” the videos if she didn’t work for him. 

In a video posted on Netflix’s YouTube channel, Ananya Panday reminisced about her vlogging days from her youth. She shared how she would capture her daily activities alongside her friends, Suhana Khan and Shanaya Kapoor.

The actor said, “I used to record what I do in a day and what I eat in a day, but not post it anywhere. I have it! PhotoBooth had just come out on Apple, and me, Suhana and Shanaya used to record stuff, and Aryan used to threaten us that he would leak those videos if we didn’t do work for him.”

Panday referred to it as a “random trauma story.” During the discussion, comedian Tanmay Bhatt, who was hosting, jokingly suggested that someone should “talk to Aryan.”

During the same discussion, the actress noted that she still records vlogs throughout her day. She explained that they used to make makeup videos, and even now, when she gets ready, she occasionally talks to herself in the mirror, describing it as somewhat strange.

In a previous conversation, the actress revealed that she had a crush on Khan during her childhood. While appearing on Koffee With Karan Season 7, she confessed that he is cute and admitted to having a crush on him while growing up. However, she noted that the reason it never developed further was something that should be asked of him.

On the professional front, Panday was recently seen in Vikramaditya Motwane’s CTRL, where she starred alongside Vihaan Samat. Next, she will be featured in the second season of Call Me Bae and has Shankara lined up.

Meanwhile, Khan is focused on his directorial debut, Stardom. Stardom will have cameos from Salman Khan, SRK, and Ranbir Kapoor among others. 

Lokesh Kanagaraj has recently dropped a major update on his much-awaited film with Suriya. During a recent media interaction, the filmmaker shared that he plans to make Rolex a standalone film following the success of Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram. Not only that, he also hinted at making a groundbreaking LCU movie after wrapping up Rajinikanth’s Coolie.

Lokesh Kanagaraj said, “I kept the Rolex scene to finish Vikram with a high. Since I’ve elevated the Rolex character, I will now make a standalone Rolex film. After completing Coolie, I plan to create a peak LCU film featuring all the actors from the LCU.”

Further talking about LCU, he mentioned that for the next five years, he will be working on movies that will come under it. “As the LCU universe has started, it has to be closed properly. So next 5 years movie will be coming under LCU universe.” Lokesh said.

To everyone’s excitement, the Coolie director also opened up about the possible sequel of Leo 2. Lokesh said that if he ever gets the opportunity to make Leo Part 2, then its title would be “Parthiban.”

Leo featured Thalapathy Vijay as the main lead and was a massive hit in theaters. However, the actor is currently working on his last film Thalapathy 69 with H Vinoth. Following that, he will focus on his political career and reportedly bid adieu to his acting career. Only time will tell whether Vijay will work on Leo 2 or not.

Nonetheless, Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Coolie. The movie marks his first collaboration with Rajinikanth. Talking about the Thalaivar starrer during his recent interaction, the filmmaker said that he will try to finish the shoot in the next six months. 

As Rajinikanth recently underwent an elective procedure at the Apollo Hospital in Chennai, he will join the sets of the film on October 16. 

The movie will also feature Sathyaraj, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir and Upendra among others.
