Priya Prakash Varrier sizzles in blue; gears up for two Hindi thrillers
Priya Prakash Varrier, the viral sensation who rose to fame with just a wink, is still in search of that one big cinematic breakthrough. While her iconic moment remains unforgettable, she's working hard to make a mark beyond the internet fame.
Recently, the Malayalam beauty turned heads once again as she posed gracefully in a stunning blue sleeveless embroidered mini dress. With her hair let loose and that trademark radiant smile lighting up her face, Priya looked nothing short of mesmerizing, seated elegantly on a wooden chair. Her effortless charm continues to captivate fans across social media.
Professionally, Priya is now eyeing the Bollywood space with two promising Hindi films in the pipeline. First up is 3 Monkeys, a heist thriller helmed by the popular directorial duo Abbas–Mustan, known for delivering gripping entertainers. Backed by Allarakha Vohra and Sayeed Vohra under AV Picture Production LLP, the film stars Arjun Rampal and Priya in lead roles, promising a high-stakes action narrative.
Additionally, she will be seen in Love Hackers, a cyber-thriller directed by Mayank Prakash Srivastava. Based on true incidents, the film delves into the darker aspects of cybercrime and the hidden dangers of the digital world. Priya's role is expected to be intense and performance-driven, marking a shift from her usual girl-next-door image.
With these two distinct genres in her kitty, Priya is clearly aiming to showcase her versatility and break away from her 'wink girl' tag.

‘Kalki 2898 AD' trivia: When Deepika Padukone embraced motherhood on-screen: ‘Why not carry the baby bump a few more months?'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Deepika Padukone has never shied away from challenging roles, and in Kalki 2898 AD, she impressed the audiences by taking on the emotionally rich part of a mother—this time, with a twist of sci-fi epicness. Let's take a throwback moment at when Deepika opened up about her character in the movie. Speaking during the pre-release event of the Nag Ashwin directorial in Mumbai, Deepika reflected on portraying a mother in the futuristic world of Kalki, joining a trend that's seen her play mother figures in Jawan and Brahmastra. Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff at Mumbai Airport At the event, actor Rana Daggubati playfully teased Deepika, referencing her real-life pregnancy and the character she plays in the film. 'She is still in character,' he quipped, pointing at her baby bump. To this, Deepika laughed and responded, 'Yeah, I worked on it for three years, so I thought why not carry the baby bump for a few more months.' From Brahmastra to Kalki: Deepika's Maternal Arc Deepika's role in Kalki 2898 AD isn't her first portrayal of a mother. She previously played Amrita, the mother of Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor), in Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, though mostly through flashbacks. Her character held pivotal importance to the film's storyline, which explored the Astraverse mythology. Though her screen time was limited, it set up her presence in the coming parts of the trilogy. In Kalki, her role appears to be even more significant, with much of the film's emotional core centered around her character and her unborn child in a dystopian world. Co-starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, the film is one of the most anticipated pan-Indian projects of the year. Marching Ahead with Atlee and Allu Arjun Following the buzz of Kalki, Deepika has already locked in her next big project—a sci-fi action adventure tentatively titled AA22XA6, directed by Kollywood sensation Atlee and starring Telugu superstar Allu Arjun. The makers officially welcomed Deepika with a grand announcement video showing Atlee briefing her on the storyline and her role. 'The Queen marches to conquer! Welcome onboard Deepika Padukone,' read the announcement. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Amitabh Bachchan Was 'Very Rude, Didn't Even Look At Me': Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain Actor Recalls
Last Updated: When Saanand Verma first worked with Amitabh Bachchan, he was treated like a "son". However, their second time working together was starkly different. Actor Saanand Verma grew immensely popular after he starred in the superhit TV show, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain. Despite having worked with the best actors in the Indian entertainment industry, he only felt starstruck in front of one actor- Amitabh Bachchan. When Verma first worked with Bachchan, the veteran actor treated him like a 'son". However, their second time working together was starkly different. Verma said Bachchan was rude to him during the shoot. In a recent chat with Hindi Rush, Saanand Verma opened up about his contrasting experience with Amitabh Bachchan. He said, 'I have spoken to many stars, but I didn't think much about them. But I felt Amitabh Bachchan's aura when I was shooting Kaun Banega Crorepati's promo. The first time I met him… he was like… I felt like I am Abhishek Bachchan. I felt like I am his son. We spoke for three hours." His second time was not as great. Recalling his cold interaction, he said, 'However, the second time I met him to shoot an advertisement, he was very rude." 'After completing the shoot, I went and told him, 'I consider myself very fortunate to be able to work with you twice.' But he didn't even look at me, he kept staring at a painting and said, 'Bhagwan kare apko tibara mile (May God give you a third chance also),'" he said. Despite this coldness, Verma maintains that he still has immense respect for the veteran actor. He said, 'He gave me a lot of attention the first time and ignored me completely the second time, that contrast was noticeable. I love and respect Amit ji a lot. I don't think there is another actor like him in Hindi film industry but yes nobody is friends in the film industry." Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is gearing up for the shoot for Kalki 2. Directed by Nag Ashwin and also starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan, the sequel is expected to go on floors this year. He also has the Indian remake of The Intern with Deepika Padukone in his kitty. Amitabh Bachchan will also be seen in Brahmastra Part 2. First Published: June 07, 2025, 13:53 IST
