EXCLUSIVE: Did Kartik Aaryan accidentally reveal Kiara Advani’s appearance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3? ‘Bahut cheezein chupani…’

Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani entertained the audience with their horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in 2022. Now, Kartik is gearing up for the highly anticipated third installment of the franchise. The actor sat for an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla and it looks like he accidentally revealed Kiara’s appearance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. He also said that he has had to hide quite a lot of things in this film.

In the latest episode of Pinkvilla’s Masterclass, Kartik Aaryan discussed his upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. He was asked if it was true that 2 climaxes have been shot for the film and nobody knows the actual ending except for him, Vidya Balan, and director Anees Bazmee.

In response, Kartik said, “I think ek do logon ko aur pata hai. Par haan 2 climax shoot kiye gaye hain iss film ke so that there is some kind of confusion. In fact, jab humare paas script aayi thi sabke paas toh sirf yeh paanch ek logon ko chodh kar kisi ke paas last ke 15 page gaye nahi the (I think one or two more people know. But yes 2 climaxes have been for this film. In fact, when the script came to us, nobody except these five or some people got the last 15 pages).”

He continued, “So woh script last 15 pages ke bina gayi thi sabke paas. Even jo AD department hai ya production department, sabke paas aise hi script gayi hai without the climax, without the last 15 pages (So the script was sent without the last 15 pages to everyone. Even the AD department or the production department, everyone got the script without the climax, without the last 15 pages).”

Kartik then accidentally talked about shooting with Kiara Advani. He said, “Jab hum log shoot bhi kar rahe the, in fact jab Kiara ke saath shoot… (When we were shooting, in fact when we were shooting with Kiara…)” He immediately realized his slip of tongue and said ‘sorry.’ Kartik started laughing and went on to say, “Jab Vidya ji ke saath shoot kar rahe the… yeh live toh nahi hai na? (When we were shooting with Vidya ji… this is not live, right?)

Going back to the part about the climaxes, Kartik Aaryan added, “Humne 2 climax shoot kiye hain bas utna hi bolna chahunga (I would just like to say that we have shot 2 climaxes). Aur yeh pehli baar mere saath ho raha tha ki bahut cheezein chupani pad rahi hain aur isme.. I think mujhe aaj… (This was the first time that I had to hide many things and in this… I think today me…)”

Kartik concluded by saying, “It’s a different space, it’s a different film, and I feel ki 3 mein yeh bahut sare surprises honge aap sabke liye (There will be many surprises for all of you in 3) and you will enjoy the film when it comes out.”

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is all set to release in theaters on November 1, 2024.

6 best Netflix movies that we want answers to in their sequel

6 best Netflix movies that we want answers to in their sequel

Hindi cinema has been experimenting with a variety of content through films in recent times. Bollywood is no longer just about producing star-studded movies. Now that the taste of the audience has changed, the industry is focusing on content-driven films. Take, for example, Ananya Panday’s CTRL. While some contain great plot twists, a few of them leave us with cliffhanger endings. Some Netflix movies that deserve a sequel are Andhadhun, Dil Dhadakne Do, Wake Up Sid, and more.

We have curated a list of Netflix movies that should have their sequels as they had ambiguous climaxes.

6 best Netflix movies that left us wanting for more and should have their sequels:

1. Andhadhun

Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, and Radhika Apte, Andhadhun recently completed six years of its release. On the occasion, Ayushmann reminisced about how the film has maintained the suspense of the climax since its release in 2018. In Sriram Raghavan’s directorial, Ayushmann played the role of Akash Saraf, a pianist who initially pretends to be blind, however, he loses his eyesight. Tabu was cast as Simi Sinha, the wife of a retired actor.

For the ones who haven’t watched Andhadhun, Ayushmann as Akash is saved at the end and tells the story to Radhika’s character, Sophie, about how Simi gets killed in a car accident. The makers left the audience to decide whether he was blind or partially lost his eyesight. Raghavan’s directorial also didn’t reveal the fate of the real murderer of the retired actor. Can we get these questions? How about continuing the story in its sequel?

2. Wake Up Sid

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Wake Up Sid starred Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma in the lead roles. Ranbir played the role of Siddharth Mehra aka Sid, a college-going student who initially isn’t serious about his life. His life gets changed when he meets Konkona’s character Aisha, a budding writer from Kolkata in Mumbai. The 2009 film ended with the beginning of Sid and Aisha’s love story as they shared a warm hug in the rain in the climax, making us want more.

We would want to watch Sid’s evolution in his personal and professional life. And also, how will Sid and Aisha navigate their love life despite being poles apart in their respective personalities? That’s why we need a sequel to Wake Up Sid.

3. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

Yes, this one too. Featuring an ensemble star cast, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is one of the iconic movies produced in the Hindi cinema. The film featured actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor in the leading roles. The 2001 family drama ended with a reunion of Yashvardhan Raichand’s family. We watched a sneak peek of Rahul and Anjali’s wedding celebration and sequences of Rohan and Pooja’s marriage ceremony at the end. 

However, we would love to watch how the second generation navigates relationships in the Raichand family. Watching Rahul, Anjali, Rohan, and Pooja together again would be fun to watch. If planned, the sequel can also rebuild the siblings’ bond between Rahul and Rohan.

4. Dil Dhadakne Do

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Dil Dhadakne Do featured Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, and others. The story of Dil Dhadakne Do revolves around a rich and dysfunctional family as Anil and Shefali’s characters, Kamal Mehra and Neelam Mehra, celebrate their wedding anniversary on a lavish cruise. While we got to witness the family dynamics of the Mehras in the movie, there is a lot to explore about Kabir and Farah’s love equation. For the uninitiated, Ranveer played Kabir Mehra. Anushka Sharma was cast as Farah Ali.

In the climax, the 2015 movie shows that Farah leaves the cruise after being fired from her job and for getting romantically involved with a passenger. It ended with a sequence of the Mehra family jumping on a boat to bring her back. The makers left us wondering whether Kabir would be able to find Farah or not. We want to watch how Kabir and Farah’s secret affair turns into an official relationship in a potential sequel.

5. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone as leads, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani also deserves a sequel. Remember how Ayan Mukerji left us in a cliffhanger situation after Ranbir’s character Bunny proposes to Deepika as Naina in the climax? While we surely enjoyed them reunited on New Year’s, there was so much more to their sweet relationship that remains unexplored. 

Having a sequel to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani can focus on how their career aspirations pan out in the future. It can mainly continue Bunny and Naina’s love story and explore how Deepika’s character (a doctor) adjusts to the lifestyle of a travel journalist. Also, let’s not forget about Avi and Aditi’s rebuilding their friendship.

6. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Karan Johar’s directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, featured Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Rani Mukerji played a crucial role in the film. The 1998 film ended with Rahul and Anjali getting married. If a sequel is to be made, fans would love to watch them play basketball again, just like old times. We would also love to watch how Rahul’s daughter, younger Anjali, navigates her love life in adulthood. We are also hoping for Aman to mingle with a new cast.

Don’t you agree that these movies can easily get their sequels? Don’t miss the aforementioned films on Netflix. Rewatch and relive.

India To Withdraw High Commissioner From Canada In Massive Escalation Of Row

India To Withdraw High Commissioner From Canada In Massive Escalation Of Row

The government has decided to withdraw its High Commissioner in Canada after Ottawa linked him and some other Indian diplomats to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. “We have no faith in the current Canadian Government’s commitment to ensure their security,” the government conveyed to the Canadian Charge d’Affaires who was summoned by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) this evening.

“It was underlined that in an atmosphere of extremism and violence, the Trudeau Government’s actions endangered their safety. We have no faith in the current Canadian Government’s commitment to ensure their security. Therefore, the Government of India has decided to withdraw the High Commissioner and other targeted diplomats and officials,” the foreign ministry said.

The ties between the two countries plunged further after Canada said it was investigating the Indian High Commissioner as a “person of interest” in the killing of Nijjar.

The Foreign Ministry received a “diplomatic communication from Canada yesterday suggesting that the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats are ‘persons of interest’ in a matter related to an investigation in that country”.

It said that the aspersions cast on High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma by Canada were “ludicrous”.  

“High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma is India’s senior-most serving diplomat with a distinguished career spanning 36 years. He has been an Ambassador in Japan and Sudan, while also serving in Italy, Turkiye, Vietnam and China. The aspersions cast on him by the Government of Canada are ludicrous and deserve to be treated with contempt,” the foreign ministry said.

It hit out at the “preposterous” allegations, terming them a “strategy of smearing India for political gains”.

The government also informed the senior diplomat of Canada this evening that the “baseless targeting of the Indian High Commissioner and other diplomats and officials in Canada was completely unacceptable”.

It was also conveyed that India reserves the right to take further steps in response to the Trudeau Government’s support for extremism, violence and separatism against India, it said.

The government statement this morning slammed Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau’s “hostility to India”, adding, in 2018, his visit to India, “which was aimed at currying favour with a vote bank, rebounded to his discomfort”.

“His Cabinet has included individuals who have openly associated with an extremist and separatist agenda regarding India,” it said.

Last year, India curbed visas for Canadians and forced Ottawa to withdraw diplomats.

The latest dip in the ties comes just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Justin Trudeau on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Laos. While Trudeau described the meeting as a “brief exchange”, sources in New Delhi said there was no substantive discussion between the two leaders.

PM Modi and Trudeau’s first meeting after Canada raised allegations regarding Nijjar’s death was on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy in June this year.

India has been maintaining that the main issue between the two countries is that of Canada – home to around 7,70,000 Sikhs – giving space to pro-Khalistan elements “operating from their soil with impunity”, sources in New Delhi said.

Trudeau, meanwhile, has insisted that his stand on the matter remains the same.
