The Fatal Kiss: Jacqueline Fernadez’s peck gets her into trouble; she might seek Salman Khan’s help to bail her out of the situation

There are whispered insinuations and veiled smirks in the entertainment industry about the company that Jacqueline Fernandez keeps, after pictures of her cozying up with alleged extortionist Sukesh Chandrasekhar surfaced online. Typically, the actress denied knowing the incarcerated wheeler-dealer. And then clammed up, hoping that the troubles would vanish like a bad dream. But with pictorial evidence carpeting the internet, Ms. Fernandez faces the stickiest situation in her career so far. A well-known director who knows her well says Jacqueline wasn’t aware of Chandrashekhar's business activities, “He showered her with attention and expensive gifts. She fell for it. She probably didn’t check his identity. Which is as bad as Shilpa Shetty claiming she didn’t know what her husband was up to. If you’re dating/marrying someone you can’t be blind to what he does,” says the director. Years ago Raj Kapoor’s discovery Mandakini of  Ram Teri Ganga Maili  ...

Similarly, last month,  Bollywood Hungama  had also informed viewers that Salman Khan had shot additional scenes in  Antim – The Final Truth  for three days in the first week of October.

Netflix India cancels Sonakshi Sinha's Bulbul Tarang after her sudden exit from the project

In March this year, Netflix India announced a quirky, heartfelt comedy-drama Bulbul Tarang with Sonakshi Sinha and Tahir Raj Bhasin playing the lead roles. The film was supposed to go on floors in April 2021 but was postponed after the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic brought the production to a standstill. However, the project hasn't seen the light of the day even after the industry is back on track. And it's because the film has been put on the backburner. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Netflix India has now cancelled this Sonakshi Sinha film. "Together with our partners, we made the decision to not move forward with the film.

REVEALED: Pragya Jaiswal was cast opposite Salman Khan in Antim – The Final Truth; makers later removed the superstar’s romantic track

The Salman Khan-starrer  Antim – The Final Truth  is all set to release this Friday, November 26. Even though the superstar has a limited screen time and despite it being clashing with Satyameva Jayate 2 , the film carries considerable buzz. That’s because the trailer of the film has received a favourable response. Viewers have loved Salman Khan’s no-nonsense cop avatar, and it’s different from what he has done in films of a similar space in the past. Another factor because of which Salman’s part stands out is that he doesn’t have a romantic lead opposite him. Though Salman has an action star image, his stint as a romantic hero is also much appreciated and he has had sizzling chemistry with several actresses in the past. Yet, viewers have not minded that he won’t be serenading a heroine in  Antim – The Final Truth .   However, it has now come to light that initially, the makers had decided that there would indeed be a romantic angle for the track of Salman. In fac...
