'This time, she will...' After Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, Deepika Padukone EXITS the Intern Remake? Here's why
'This time, she will...' After Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, Deepika Padukone EXITS the Intern Remake? Here's why Deepika Padukone was initially slated to star and produce the Bollywood remake of the English film The Intern , which was first announced in 2021. At that time, the makers intended to finish the production quickly and release the film the very next year. But now, nearly five years later, with a slow progress and minimal updates, new rumours are that Deepika is no longer part of the film. Why Deepika Padukone steps away from acting in The Intern Remake? A source close to Mid-day revealed that the actress has quit her home production and a new leading lady will be replacing her. She will now serve as the sole producer of the film, what is being called a 'creative and logistical reboot' of the business. The source was quoted saying, 'This time, Deepika will step away from acting in the film to serve solely as a producer, overseeing the creative and logistical reboot. A new leading lady is being cast to play the part she was once slated to perform.' The production will be solely under Deepika Padukone's leadership, and casting for the new female lead is already underway. As per the same report, this choice observes a significant shift in her professional path. 'The Intern is the first of five projects she plans to mount in the coming year. She is looking to tell stories that are globally relevant,' the source added. Well, Deepika hasn't made any official announcement yet. Deepika Padukone and Rishi Kapoor were initially expected to play… Deepika Padukone was earlier expected to play Anne Hathaway's role portraying a woman who hires a retired man, played by Robert De Niro in the 2015 original. Late actor Rishi Kapoor was initially approached to play this role, but after his demise in 2020, Amitabh Bachchan came on board. New Mom Deepika Padukone has been decisive to be more selective with her films and spend more time with her daughter, Dua. Earlier reports created a stir about her stepping away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. Meanwhile, she remains committed to her other big-banner projects such as King , opposite Shah Rukh Khan, and an upcoming Telugu film, opposite Allu Arjun, which will be directed by Atlee.

An Indian man living in Canada shared a viral post, explaining why he cherishes his life in the North American country and doesn't want to return to India.

'These are the main reasons I absolutely love living in Canada and why I'm still not ready to leave this country," said Narang as he introduced himself in the video captioned 'Why I love living in this Country". 'Hi, my name is Sahil, and I have been living in Canada for more than three years. In Canada, every province has its minimum wage. No matter what job you do, you are guaranteed to earn at least that amount. And trust me, if you're talented and have solid experience in a good field, you can end up earning a great deal here." The content creator also made it a point to share how even the privileged lot of Canadian society follows the rules and regulations put in place by the authorities. 'Here, everyone follows the rules, regardless of whether you're rich or poor. The best part is that there is no enforcement to make people follow them; they choose to follow the rules on their own," Narang said. Further on life in Canada, the content creator spoke about the beauty of the country and how the festivities organised by the government give residents plenty to look forward to regularly. 'Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The government does a lot for its residents, organising so many festivals that they truly make you feel at home," he said.

Bobby Deol To Make Cameo In War 2, Not Salman Khan Or Shah Rukh Khan?
Last Updated: War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. Bobby Deol joins as a new villain. The highly anticipated War 2, which will see Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR share the screen for the first time, is set to feature an unexpected addition to its cast. While rumours had been swirling that Salman Khan's Tiger or Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan might appear in the film's end credits, insiders confirm that neither superstar will make a cameo. Instead, audiences will be introduced to a new character played by Bobby Deol. No Tiger or Pathaan cameo in War 2 According to sources close to the production, War 2 will not feature direct appearances from the YRF Spy Universe's leading agents, Tiger or Pathaan, though both will be referenced during key moments in the storyline. 'War 2 won't feature either of Tiger or Pathaan, however, their names will be used at some key junctures of the film. The end credit sequence of War 2 will act as a build up for the next chapter of YRF Spy Universe – Alpha. Aditya Chopra is staying true to his vision of continuing the story forward, rather than opting for gimmicks by bringing all 3 superstars in the same film. He is reserving the union of all 3 superstars for a mega project, which is in the development stage," the source told Bollywood Hungama. Bobby Deol's entry as a new villain While Salman and Shah Rukh's absence may surprise some fans, the film will use the opportunity to introduce Bobby Deol in a major way. 'With War 2, Aditya Chopra will be establishing Bobby Deol to the Universe. It's an epic introduction to Bobby Deol's character, who is one of the main villains in the timeline going forward. Aditya Chopra is known to go against the tide, and instead of establishing his two female leads of Alpha – Alia Bhatt and Sharvari – he is going ahead by unleashing the negative force of the film, Bobby Deol," the source added. About War 2 Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 marks the sixth chapter of the YRF Spy Universe and is expected to set the stage for Alpha, the next major entry in the franchise. The film will release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on August 14, 2025. It stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. The story of War 2 brings a powerful showdown between Hrithik Roshan's Major Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR's Vikram. Both play Indian spies, but they see patriotism in completely different ways. This difference sets the stage for a battle that's not just about action, but also about beliefs. Kiara Advani plays Kavya Luthra, a key character who will have an important part in how the story unfolds. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is a sequel to the 2019 hit War, which featured Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
