It’s been nearly 30 years since actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright mesmerized the audience by appearing on screen together in Forrest Gump. However, they have reunited in their new film Here, and while promoting the project, Hanks said he was excited to work with Wright once more.

Hanks explained how easy it was for him to come back and reunite with Wright even though so many decades have passed. The duo played childhood friends Forrest and Jenny, who ended up marrying each other at the end of the Robert Zemeckis-helmed movie.

On Friday, October 25, at the world premiere of Here at the  AFI Fest in Los Angeles, Hanks said, “We just picked up right where we left off.” He stressed the fact that despite not having seen each other for a while, their reunion felt more natural than ever.

“I’m going to say we love each other because we’re so easy with each other. It was a luxury to be able to come in and get the same conversations we’ve been having for the last 30 years after a moment of, ‘Hey, this kooky look, do you believe this? Can you believe this? Look at this, look at this,'” he added.

After the success of 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey has been on a signing spree, and is presently gearing up for the release of The Sabarmati Express in November. While the promotions begin in November, we hear that the actor has started shooting for a love story titled Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, which will mark the big-screen debut of Shanaya Kapoor. According to sources close to the development, Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor have started shooting for Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan today.

The film is being produced by Mansi and Varun Bagla under their banner, Mini Films with Santoshi Singh as the director. “Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is written by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla, and is a pure love story – a genre that has gone missing for the last few years. The music is composed by Vishal Mishra, and the album will have a lot of melodies with top singers of the fraternity,” revealed a source close to the development.

Talking about venturing into the romantic space with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan, Vikrant Massey says, ““Playing a lover boy is an exciting challenge, and the scale of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan feels truly grand. Mansi’s belief in me as a romantic lead has been constant, and together, we’re creating something special. My gratitude goes to Mansi and Varun Bagla for this incredible opportunity and working with Santosh Singh again has been creatively fulfilling. AKG has all the elements to win people’s hearts and I am really excited and looking forward to be working with Shanaya in her debut film.”

Shanaya Kapoor insists that the story of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan holds a special space in her heart and is excited to share the screenspace with Vikrant. She shares, “It’s very exciting for me to be sharing the screen with Vikrant in such a heartfelt and original story. My character is very close to my heart – she’s strong, emotional and vibrant. And I am grateful for this opportunity. I would like to thank Santosh for guiding me every step of the way, and I am excited about working with dynamic and involved producers Mansi and Varun Bagla. Need all your love and blessings as we embark this journey.”

Taylor Swift made an unforgettable statement when she declared that she would depart from her usual Eras Tour setlist her performance in New Orleans on Saturday. Appearing in an orange dress, the singer informed the audience of 65,000 people that instead of performing one of her own works, she would sing Espresso from her friend Sabrina Carpenter‘s hits. 

While singing Espresso, she stopped to express her admiration for Carpenter and her work over the past few years. Taylor praised her friend, saying, “I love my friend, and I’m just so proud of Sabrina and the year she’s had.” However, the surprise didn’t end there.

Now, to make this moment even more memorable, Swift took her phone and called Carpenter, saying that everybody in the stadium sang the song to the last word. Taylor brought Carpenter out on stage to perform with her moments after the Karma hitmaker sang a few lines of Espresso.
