Salman Khan's Film With Director Sooraj Barjatya Shelved?

Mumbai, February 10 - Last year, it was revealed that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan would be reuniting with director Sooraj Barjatya for a family entertainer. The movie was tentatively titled Prem Ki Shaadi and was supposed to go on floors in the second half of 2024. ## Salman officially confirmed Prem Ki Shaadi and director Sooraj Barjatya also confirmed that he was working on the script, generating so much excitement among the fans. However, the latest reports suggest that Barjatya's film will unlikely happen anytime soon and might be shelved over creative differences. ## According to a report by Mid-Day, "If you see the sort of star that Salman Khan is today and the director's films, the two are poles apart in terms of their creative sensibilities. The script was their common ground, but over time, there were too many things they couldn’t agree on. So, it made sense for them to call it off amicably". ## The duo of Salman and Sooraj has reportedly amicably decided to part ways until they work on something new in the future. Meanwhile, the report suggests that the filmmaker intends to revisit the film's script by making some changes to it and will reportedly initiate talks with younger actors. Varun Dhawan and Ranveer Singh are said to be the frontrunners at the moment to headline the film, however, nothing is confirmed yet. ## Meanwhile, Salman Khan will next be seen in director Vishnu Vardhaan's army-based actioner, tentatively titled "The Bull". The movie will be produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and is expected to start shooting in the next few weeks. ## Stay tuned...

Sunny Deol's Gadar 3 To Be Set Immediately After The Events of Gadar 2: Report

Mumbai, February 6 - It was recently reported that Zee Studios greenlit Gadar 3, following the historic blockbuster success of its predecessor. Sunny Deol will be returning to play the lead role of Tara Singh along with director Anil Sharma. ## Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, which grossed close to 700 crores worldwide, was set 20 years after the events of the first film which was released in 2001. However, the third instalment won't have a huge time gap, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama. ## It is said that Gadar 3 will be set immediately after the events of the second film or it'll be set a few years after the incidents in the sequel, but there won't be a huge jump in the timeline. The makers reportedly believe that it wouldn't look logical to keep another 20 year of gap considering Sunny's age. ## The report further revealed that the makers had 4 ideas to take Gadar's story forward and they finally locked one for which the script work is on. Apart from Sunny Deol, Sakina (Ameesha Patel) and Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma), will also be a part of the third part. They, too, more or less, will play the same age as they did in Gadar 2.## Gadar 3 is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2025 and it will release in 2026. Before moving to the threequel, Sunny will wrap Rajkumar Santoshi's Lahore 1947 and is also expected to do the sequel to the war movie Border. ## Stay tuned...
