Pedro Pascal circling Behemoth from Andor creator Tony Gilroy
Los Angeles, Aug 11 (PTI) Hollywood star Pedro Pascal is in negotiations to star in 'Behemoth", an upcoming musical drama movie from writer-director Tony Gilroy.
While plot details remain under wraps, Gilroy earlier revealed that the story centres on a cellist, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline.
The project is set up at Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures.
Gilroy, known for movies such as 'Michael Clayton" and 'Duplicity" as well as the critically-acclaimed 'Star Wars" spinoff show 'Andor", will produce the film alongside Sanne Wohlenberg.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin this fall in Los Angeles, with release plans to be announced later.
Pascal is fresh off a stellar summer. He recently starred in filmmaker Celine Song's 'Materialists", Ari Aster's 'Eddington", and Marvel's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps".
All three films earned widespread critical acclaim, with 'Materialists" marking A24's third-highest opening ever and 'Fantastic Four: First Steps" delivering Marvel's biggest box-office debut of 2025.
He also featured in season two of HBO's 'The Last of Us", which earned him an Emmy nomination for lead actor.
Pascal will be next seen in 'Avengers: Doomsday", which will premiere in 2026 and also reprise his role as Din Djarin in 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu". PTI RB RB

Kirron Kher says Anupam Kher feels bad when she doesn't appreciate his work, advises son Sikandar Kher to 'be more like Anupam': 'Sikandar is a laat saheb...'
Veteran actor Kirron Kher is known for her open and honest personality, both on and off screen. In a recent interview, she revealed that she never praises her family's work unless it truly impresses her, even if that means hurting feelings at home. 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. My husband feels bad about it,' she told News18, admitting she can't pretend to like every film Anupam Kher has done. 'It shows on my face,' she laughed, recalling how she didn't enjoy Sikandar's performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. Advice to Sikandar: 'Be more like Anupam' Kirron shared that she often urges her son to be less selective with projects. While Sikandar is 'very particular' about his work, she feels he needs to take on more roles, just as Anupam did during his career's peak. 'Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. Sikandar is a laat saheb... but things don't work that way,' she pointed out. Kirron acknowledged she had the 'luxury of choice' because Anupam bore the financial responsibility, a privilege she believes Sikandar cannot afford if he wants to keep working consistently. Kirron Kher drops a picture from a lunch date with her husband Anupam Kher; fans say 'You both are looking cute' Anupam Kher on the 'void' of not having children Married since 1985, Kirron and Anupam Kher do not have children together. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry, and was four years old when Anupam entered his life. Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast, Anupam admitted feeling a 'void' over not having biological children, revealing that Kirron 'could not conceive' and later faced complications when she did. 'I was too busy making it big,' he said, but added that Sikandar 'is still fine for me,' emphasising their strong bond despite the circumstances.
