Farhan Akhtar-Shibani are all smiles, Shabana Azmi stands close to Honey Irani and Javed Akhtar in THROWBACK PIC: ‘Happy family’

Shabana Azmi often shares heartwarming pictures with her family on social media. She recently dropped a throwback picture in which she was seen standing near her husband Javed Akhtar and his first wife Honey Irani. Farhan Akhtar and his wife Shibani Akhtar also posed for the photograph with smiles along with other family members. Shabana ji admitted to goofing up her post’s caption.

Today, August 26, 2024, Shabana Azmi took to Instagram and shared an old family portrait. In the picture, she held Shibani Akhtar while Honey Irani stood to her left. Farhan Akhtar was next to Shibani with a happy expression on his face. Javed Akhtar stood closeby with his arms around his daughter Zoya Akhtar. Tanvi Azmi, Anusha Dandekar, and more were also present in the snapshot.

In the caption, Shabana ji wrote, “Happy family on Honeys last birthday.”

Fans were quick to point out the mistake in the caption. One person said, “You should write Last year bday not last bday, while another stated, “At first, I was shocked when I read ‘Last’.” Others used laughing emojis in the comments.

The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actress admitted her goof-up and said, “SORRY! SORRY! SORRY (monkey covering his eyes emojis) Previous birthday! I stand corrected.”

A docu-series about Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan was released recently. Titled Angry Young Men: The Salim-Javed Story, it premiered on August 20. The series traces the journey of the iconic screenwriting duo and features interviews with them as well as other celebrities like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, and more.

Directed by Namrata Rao, Angry Young Men is produced by Salman Khan Films, Excel Media and Entertainment, and Tiger Baby. The three-part documentary is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

BUZZ: Ram Charan likely to re-shoot Game Changer; will Shankar’s film face another delay?

BUZZ: Ram Charan likely to re-shoot Game Changer; will Shankar’s film face another delay?

Superstar Ram Charan is slated to shine bright with his upcoming film Game Changer. Directed by Shankar Shanmugham, the project is eyeing a massive theatrical release in December 2024. Within such a short span of time, some recent reports suggested that the project will undergo some last-minute re-shooting of such scenes.

The latest scoop on the matter suggests that filmmaker Shankar asked the producer Dil Raju to approach Ram Charan for some dates when he would be available so that they can re-shoot certain scenes in Game Changer. It was speculated that such a decision was undertaken so as to elevate the engagement of the audience in the final presentation.

However, it seems all such buzz was completely baseless. As mentioned by Times Now, a source close to the production house has clarified that no re-shooting schedule is on the table for Game Changer. The source further clarified that RC has, in fact, wrapped up his acting schedule for the movie and will soon proceed with the dubbing. The post-production work for the project is also in full swing.

Coming to the excitement of the fans regarding the project, RC has been winning hearts right from the first glimpse of the movie. He is slated to essay the role of an IAS bureaucratic officer in the film. Bollywood actress Kiara Advani is roped in as the leading lady opposite the Magadheera star.

The film’s screenplay is written by Shankar, along with Karthik Subbaraj, who wrote the initial story. Game Changer also stars some other poignant actors including S J Suryah, Srikanth, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Nassar and others. 

Back on July 21, 2024, producer Dil Raju at the pre-release event of Dhanush’s Raayan commented about the expected release date of Game Changer. In a viral video, he had hinted about a Christmas release for the project and had wittily commented, “Game Changer? Let’s meet during Christmas.”

Besides Game Changer, Ram Charan will also be prepping up next for another of his films, RC 16 (tentative title). It will feature Janhvi Kapoor as the leading lady opposite him.

Russia Launches Drones, Missiles Towards Kyiv In Massive Air Attack

Russia Launches Drones, Missiles Towards Kyiv In Massive Air Attack

The sound of explosions rang out in central Kyiv on Monday morning during rush hour as Ukraine’s military warned of a massive Russian missile and drone attack following waves of drone attacks in the early hours.

The air force told Ukrainians Russia had 11 TU-95 strategic bombers in the air and confirmed the launch of a number of missiles. Outside the Ukrainian capital, Reuters reporters heard the sound of air defences engaging targets.

Local authorities reported explosions in the northwestern city of Lutsk and said that an apartment block had been damaged and that they were verifying possible casualties.

The Operational Command of the Polish armed forces said on X that Polish and allied aircraft had been activated after Russia launched the attack which also targeted regions in Ukraine’s west and near the Polish border.

Ukrainians have been expecting a major Russian missile attack for some time. The US embassy issued a warning last week of an elevated risk of attack around Ukrainian Independence Day, which Ukraine marked on Saturday.

Ukraine has itself stepped up its long-range drone attacks on Russia to try hit back at Moscow, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

“The desire to destroy our energy will cost the Russians dearly: their infrastructure,” Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s chief of staff, said on Telegram, apparently vowing retaliation.

Russia launched two waves of drone attacks earlier on Monday, Ukraine’s military said, with initial information showing no damage or casualties.

Up to 10 drones were destroyed on their approach to the city in the region around Kyiv at about 0230 GMT, Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app.

There was no immediate comment from Russia. Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians. Each says its attacks are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to the other’s war effort.
