Farhan Akhtar to cast himself in Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt starrer Jee Le Zaraa; search on for two more male leads

Jee Le Zaraa, Farhan Akhtar’s girl-bonding road film seems to have hit a roadblock. It needs three A-listers heroes to go with the three female superstars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt. But the heroes are not showing any inclination to be chivalrous.

A source close to director Farhan Akhtar says, “It is tough casting the male leads when the female leads are already in place. All the top actors assume the women have meaty roles while the men are mere shadows. Lekin aisa nahin hai. The men in Jee Le Zaraa have very important roles to play. Lekin abb inko kaun samjhaye (who is going to explain to them?).”

Apparently, Farhan wants three male superstars to be paired his trio of super-ladies. He may end up casting himself as one of the leads to set an example for other top-notch leading men who are wary of being seen in the company of assertive women.

Vicky Kaushal wants a big fat wedding, Katrina Kaif wants it private

There is an ongoing debate between the ready-for-marriage couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif on what their wedding should be like this December.

Katrina wants an intimate wedding with just her family and close friends present to witness the marriage. Just how ‘intimate’ it would be with her 7 siblings and their family, is another matter. On the other hand, Vicky Kaushal wants a lavish Punjabi wedding.

“Actually, it’s Vicky’s parents (action director Sham Kaushal and Veena Kaushal) who want to invite everyone they know. Arrey, it is the elder son’s wedding and they would like to share the moment with their entire family,” says a mutual friend of the couple.

At the moment it seems Katrina’s wish for an intimate ceremony would prevail.

Abloh's family revealed the designer was diagnosed with "a rare, aggressive form of cancer" called cardiac angiosarcoma. "For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma. He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture."

"Through it all, his work ethic, infinite curiosity, and optimism never wavered," the family said. "Virgil was driven by his dedication to his craft and to his mission to open doors for others and create pathways for greater equality in art and design."

The family added that the ace designer believed in art's ability "to inspire future generations" and often said, "Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself."

Virgil Abloh is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, his children Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh, and numerous dear friends and colleagues.
