Pink Villa24-07-2025
Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 has grabbed a lot of eyeballs even before its release. The film, which stars Ranveer Singh in the titular role, made it to the headlines after the leading lady, Kiara Advani, stepped down due to her pregnancy. Later, it was reported that Kriti Sanon replaced her. And now, the latest buzz is that the third part will have a song similar to Aaj Ki Raat featuring the Mimi star.
A song similar to Aaj Ki Raat in Don 3?
As per reports in India Today, sources close to the film have revealed that Don 3 will feature a high-energy track just like Aaj Ki Raat from Don 2. The popular song from the previous part featured Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Isha Koppikar. The new track is said to be stylized similarly, combining glamor and narrative tension.
The reports say that Kriti Sanon will be a part of the song along with another actress who is yet to be locked. The team is currently on the hunt for the second lady to add the glam factor to the song. Neither Farhan Akhtar nor anyone from the Excel Entertainment team has commented about it.
Vikrant Massey exits Don 3
Recently, Don 3 was under the radar after the antagonist of the film, Vikrant Massey, decided to step out of the much-anticipated project. According to reports in Bollywood Hungama, it is said that the Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan star found that his role in the film lacked depth, leading to him walking out. He was expected to bring a new level of intensity to the project, but it looks like the makers are in a fix now.
Then, it was reported that Karanveer Mehra is being considered to replace Massey. But we found out that he was not even being considered for the role. The casting for the role of antagonist is currently underway. The makers are looking for a young actor who can not only explore the negative shades of the character but also look stylish in action-packed sequences. Several names from across the film industry are being considered. However, no one is locked yet.

Morning saliva: Tamannaah Bhatia shares unusual hack for pimples

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia recently opened up about her unusual approach to treating pimples during an interview with India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop. The actor suggested the use of morning saliva as a natural remedy for a candid conversation, the 35-year-old stated, "Pimple hack? Spit. Saliva. It works. I mean, the morning spit."Bhatia explained her understanding of the science behind this hack. "Because it's scientific, right? Like when you wake up in the morning, basically, your mouth has enough antibacterial elements. I'm no doctor, but this is what I understand. It's a personal hack. I believe there's science to it." she "Your body has already created a lot of antibacterial elements in your mouth when you wake up. Because you've slept, and now you're waking up. So your eyes are full of mucus, your nose is full of mucus, and your mouth has been battling all the bacteria through the night since you haven't brushed your teeth yet. And if you use that spit, it dries up the pimple immediately if it's not cystic." Bhatia further elaborated. Beyond this personal hack, Bhatia also discussed her broader skincare philosophy. "Since I've been in front of the camera, from the age of 24-25, I've been using good skincare. I think that's the more preventive way to go about it. Like, if you want to age gracefully. There are people who love their lines and embrace them. But if you want to slow that process down a bit, and I'm assuming some people would like that, then it's really good to use anti-ageing creams from the age of 25. It helps."Meanwhile, on the professional front, the actor was recently seen in 'Raid 2' song 'Nasha'. - EndsMust Watch

The 'Saiyaara' director opened up about her candid responses to his an exclusive chat with India Today, Suri revealed that Udita prefers to stay out of the creative process during production.'She doesn't watch my films in the edit or get involved in the music. She's not that kind of person. She likes to leave it for the theater. I think she doesn't want it to be a point of discussion at home because Udita knows how obsessive I get about the whole process,' Suri The director shared that while he is immersed in filmmaking, his wife focuses on running the household.'One of us has to be less passionate about my profession and more passionate about running the house. She's the boss of the house,' he once the film is ready, Udita follows a quirky ritual of her own, one that has amusingly become a barometer for the film's potential success.'She watches the film before its release, and if she likes it, she starts calling her doctors and teachers. We're all holding our breath because once Udita gives her verdict, only then do we know if Mohit will have a screening or not,' he Suri, her genuine reaction matters more than any industry opinion.'I think that's the more honest way. I always feel that if you have any creative content, even if it's a song and you want to share it with your loved ones, that's a good one and they will be honest with their feedback.'The romance-drama featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has resonated well with audiences, capturing themes of love, loss, and drama through the lives of a budding musician and a shy writer.
