Sidharth Malhotra – Kiara Advani Wedding: Suryagarh Palace’s suites and havelis cost up to whopping Rs. 1.1 lakh per night

After years of speculations around their relationship and the couple maintaining that they are more than close friends, actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are set to tie the knot in February 2023. The Shershaah pair is reportedly getting married at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer and the prep is on in full swing. Reports reveal that the massive property has suites and havelis which cost up to a whopping Rs. 1, 10,500 per night. The rates of the least expensive room start out at Rs. 20,000 per night. A paparazzo uploaded the update of the wedding on Instagram and Suryagarh’s official Instagram handle commented “see you soon” with a red heart emoji. This confirmed that the wedding is taking place in Jaisalmer. The venue is also described as the ‘gateway to the Thar desert’. The wedding functions will commence on February 4, 2023. In an earlier report of Bollywood Hungama, a source had given us a sneak peek into the nuptials saying, “Unlike the proverbial big fat Bollywood wedding that everyone is expecting, Sidharth and Kiara have opted for a quiet family affair with both sides of their families in attendance.” On Koffee With Karan last year, Kiara had revealed that she and Sidharth met for the first time after the wrap-up party of the 2018 Netflix short film, Lust Stories. She starred in Karan Johar's short film Lust Stories. Recalling the time, she said, "Sid and I know each other from before we were cast in Shershaah." Karan Johar revealed, "Yes, much before", to which Kiara said, "Yes at the wrap party of Lust Stories which we crashed." Karan further added, "We crashed a friend's house and the cast of Lust Stories as we had and Sid also came to the party and that's where you and Sid met for the first time.” In another episode of KWK last year, Karan asked Sidharth about his Shershaah co-star and girlfriend Kiara Advani and whether he has plans to marry her. Sidharth dodged the question and said, “I am manifesting a happier and brighter future.” When asked, “With Kiara?” Sidharth smiled as he answered, “If it was her, it would be great.” On the work front, Kiara Advani was last seen in Govinda Naam Mera. She will next star in Satyaprem Ki Katha alongside Kartik Aaryan and RC15 with South superstar Ram Charan. Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra was most recently seen in Mission Majnu.

Siddharth Anand reacts to Pathaan being called 'pale imitation of Hollywood': 'Our directors have the ability to mount films'

With Rs. 667 crores collections globally, Pathaan is soaring high beating box office records for a Hindi film. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, the film is only its 9th running day in theatres and has smashed the collections. As Siddharth Anand is rejoicing in the success of his second blockbuster, the director is also answering questions on varied topics. The film is also called a 'pale imitation of Hollywood'. Speaking to Gulf News, Siddharth Anand reasoned, "That’s inevitable when you make a film that’s beyond the conventions of Bollywood films. You’re instantly compared to Hollywood, which obviously has better infrastructure, better technology, and huger budgets. It will always seem like we’re trying to imitate that, but our limitations are much more. We also have ambitions, our directors have the ability to mount films, but we’re limited by reach because our films are made in one language, which is Hindi. Our revenues are directly proportional to the budgets we can afford.” "I have to admit, I haven’t watched more than two MCU films. I’m not a fan of that genre. I’ve seen a couple of them. My son is a huge fan, and he’s an encyclopedia. He briefs me and keeps me up to date. I have to run my scripts and my sequences past him, and he’ll say, ‘No, dad, this is in that film. No, you can’t do this, this has already been done.’ I’m like, ‘What the hell do I do?’ So, I take ideas from him on how to manoeuvre things around. I think I should get on the bandwagon and start watching those films, so that there’s no overlap," the director admitted on not watching even Marvel movies. Meanwhile, on the work front, Siddharth Anand will next helm Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. It will mark in his second project with the stars after War and Pathaan, respectively. The film is set for Republic Day 2024 release.

Tiger 3 writer Shridhar Raghavan opens up on the Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif film; says, “We have brought in a lot of new elements”

Salman Khan fans cannot wait for Tiger 3, especially after catching a glimpse of their favourite Bhaijaan in Pathaan. Readers would be aware that YRF head honcho, Aditya Chopra is creating an ambitious spy universe and superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan are a part of this world. Talking about the upcoming Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi film, writer Shridhar Raghavan also opened up about maintaining continuity in the franchise. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Shridhar Raghavan maintained how Aditya Chopra has big plans for the spy universe. On the other hand, while taking us through the world of Tiger, he also assured that fans can expect much more from the character in the third installment. He said, “It was already written a couple of years back. You can expect more and better of what people have liked in Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai. I think fans will like what we have made. It’s a good.. rock solid film.” He went on to add, “It’s something done by Maneesh and Adi Sir.  It was the same person in Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai – you didn’t feel disconnected with the character in those two films and this is a continuation of that. We have maintained uniformity but also brought in a lot of new elements, which I think would work well. Adi sir will kill me if I talk more about it.” In the same interview, although he did not reveal any details, Shridhar also mentioned that the YRF Spy Universe is expected to have a lot more characters. While a crossover is obvious of characters Tiger, Pathaan, and Kabir, the writer also indicated the possibility of more actors, including the younger generation, joining the universe. Moreover, he also opened up about how Aditya Chopra aims at eliminating language barriers in the Spy Universe. Is that another hint on the YRF universe featuring non-Bollywood actors or possibly South superstars? Our guess is as good as yours! Speaking of Tiger 3, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be reprising the role of spies Tiger and Zoya whereas Emraan Hashmi is the antagonist. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film will also feature Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo as Pathaan, taking the spy universe crossover further.
