In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the director explained the reason for not making the film and said, “I should do it when I am in my senses so that I can oversee the process and ensure that the new director is doing it correctly.

Siddharth Anand was supposed to direct the film; however, due to its massive production budget, the filmmaker has walked out of the project.

When asked about his retirement plans, Kohli said, “I actually don`t know what I will be doing post-retirement. Recently I asked a teammate the same question and got the same question and got the same reply. Yeah, but maybe a lot of traveling.”
4. Janhvi Kapoor`s boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, slams a troll
Actor Janhvi Kapoor`s boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, slammed a troll who commented on his caste on one of his old posts. He took to his Instagram stories and pointed out the need for the trolls to educate themselves.
On Diwali last year, the couple posted adorable pictures of feeding some pets on social media. A troll commented on the same writing, “Lekin tu toh Dalit hai (But you`re a Dalit).”
Shikhar clapped back on the comment and wrote in his story, “Diwali is a festival of light, progress, and unity, concepts that are clearly beyond your limited intellect. India`s strength has always been in its diversity and inclusivity, something you fail to grasp. Maybe instead of spreading ignorance, you should focus on educating yourself because right now, the only thing truly `untouchable` here is your level of thinking.”
5. Samay Raina gets summoned again
Amidst the whole India`s Got Latent controversy, comedian YouTuber Samay Raina has been summoned again by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. He was previously asked to appear on March 17 to record his statement. However, he failed to do so.
