Jacqueline Fernandez To Lead Female Centric Telugu Film? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: The actress is set to win hearts with her role in Welcome To The Jungle, the third film in the Welcome franchise. Jacqueline Fernandez is reportedly gearing up for an exciting new project in Telugu cinema. According to recent reports, the actress is in talks to collaborate with a popular Telugu filmmaker for a female-centric film. While details about the project are still under wraps. According to 123 Telugu, Jacqueline is likely to headline a female-centric film that will be directed by Tollywood filmmaker V. Jayashankarr. Jayashankarr narrated an intense script filled with action and suspense elements, which the actress found impressive. And she has also given her nod to the project. Sources close to the development reveal that the film will showcase Jacqueline in a powerful and never-seen-before role. The movie will also feature high-end VFX to enhance the visual experience and create an immersive cinematic feel. Earlier, in July, the Delhi High Court dismissed a plea by the Bollywood actor for quashing an FIR against her in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case, involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. Justice Anish Dayal dismissed her plea, which also sought to quash the second supplementary chargesheet of the Enforcement Directorate in the case and proceedings pending in a Delhi trial court. Fernandez is an accused in the money laundering case lodged against Chandrasekhar and had appeared before the ED for questioning in the investigation. Delhi Police had booked Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the spouses of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of Rs 200 crore. What's Next For Jacqueline Fernandez On the work front, Jacqueline Fernandez was last seen in Housefull 5. The multi-starrer comedy drama featured Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Chitrangada Singh and Nargis Fakhri. The film emerged as a box office success, proving Jacqueline's flair for comedy and commercial cinema. Up next, she is set to win hearts with her role in Welcome To The Jungle, the third film in the Welcome franchise. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the movie also stars Akshay Kumar, Disha Patani and others. The comedy entertainer, set to hit theatres this Christmas, is under production. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jacqueline Fernandez's Pole Workout Reel Is All About Strength And Agility
Last Updated: Taking to her Instagram, Jacqueline Fernandez shared a video where she was seen showing off her strength and flexibility on the pole. Jacqueline Fernandez reminded her fans once again that fitness is not just about repetitions in a gym, it's about challenging the body in new, demanding ways. On Saturday, the actress shared a video on Instagram that captured her in peak form, executing a series of pole exercises with precision and ease. Dressed in a white tank top and black pleated mini skirt, Jacqueline Fernandez combined strength, flexibility, and fluid movement in a display that was both powerful and elegant. 'Pure strength and training. Extremely difficult but so worth it once you take off!" she wrote in the caption, adding that she's returned to pole workouts after a long break. Her ease on the pole belied the sheer physical intensity of the form, one that demands complete body control, strong core engagement, and relentless practice. Take a look at the video here. All You Need To Know About Pole Workouts While many turn to yoga or HIIT to stay in shape, Jacqueline has always gravitated toward variety in her fitness regimen.

For fitness enthusiasts watching, it served as motivation wrapped in jaw-dropping visuals. Pole fitness often carries a certain stigma, but celebrities like Jacqueline are helping change that narrative. By openly embracing and showcasing this form of exercise, she is not only normalising it but also highlighting its athletic credibility. It's not about looking glamorous on a pole; it's about showing up, training hard, and mastering your body. view comments First Published: August 03, 2025, 09:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Bengaluru Poetry Festival kicks off; Kishore Kumar and Gaza among highlights of day 1
Music, lyrics, language, and of course, verse came alive at the 9th edition of the Bengaluru Poetry Festival, which kicked off on Saturday, August 2 at the Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha. From a session dedicated to remembering Kishore Kumar on his 94th anniversary to those that lingered on some of the most pertinent issues of our time, including Gaza, the festival reiterated this: poetry and humanity are deeply intertwined, and have been since the very beginning of civilisation. 'It is appropriate to have a poem about Gaza today,' said award-winning poet and novelist Jeet Thayil in response to Sri Lankan poet and short story writer Shirani Rajapakse's poem about it at a session titled 'You Are the World', which had six poets from across the world read from their work. Thayil, who shared the stage with Ali Al Maazmi, Amal Al Sahlawi, Claudia Keelan, Daryl Lim Wei Jie, as well as Rajapakse, himself, read two poems about the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, a brutal reminder of the starvation and mass killing of over 60,000 people since October 2023. Some other highlights of the festival included 'Love Liberates, It Doesn't Bind', which had actress and singer Ramya Nambessan talk about her creative process with media professional Archana Vasudev; 'City Songs', a discussion of a new anthology, The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City; 'Serenading in 70 mm', which explored how poetry supports narrative in cinema; 'Pada Sanchara', with Kannada poet Mamta Sagar talking and performing from her latest work, and 'Remembering Kishore Kumar', which paid homage to the versatile artist two days before his 94th birth anniversary. 'Kishore Kumar was a multifaceted personality,' said writer, TEDx speaker and Bollywood commentator Balaji Vittal, who was in conversation with Anirudha Bhattacharjee, the author of Kishore Kumar: The Ultimate Biography (2022) and R.D. Burman: The Man the Music (2011). Over a music-punctuated conversation, the two discussed Kumar's life, music, song origins and relationships with other well-known people. The discussion also veered towards Karnataka's tenuous connection with Bollywood, 'somehow Karnataka has never worked that closely with Bombay,' said Vittal, pointing out, however, that the movie Sholay was shot here in Ramanagar. The Bengaluru Poetry Festival continues till August 3, starting at 10 a.m. To know more, log in to
