Is Sabrina Carpenter a part of Mamma Mia 3? Producer finally answers the BIG question
Amanda Seyfried and producer Judy Craymer have addressed the persistent rumors surrounding a potential third "Mamma Mia!" film. While Seyfried playfully hinted at a possible Greece-based sequel before 2038, Craymer emphasized the franchise's enduring appeal and ABBA's timeless music. Fan speculation about Sabrina Carpenter joining the cast has also surfaced, with Seyfried expressing her support for the idea.
The 2000s rom-com era delivered plenty of gems, but few shine brighter than Mamma Mia! (2008). Starring
Meryl Streep
and
Amanda Seyfried
, the film became a cult classic, thanks in large part to their unforgettable mother-daughter chemistry and career-defining performances.
Exactly a decade later, the beloved sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again hit the screens, continuing the story with just as much heart and charm. Since then, whispers of a third installment have surfaced now and then—though lately, the buzz has grown louder, prompting a response from Amanda Seyfried herself.
In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Amanda Seyfried was finally pressed to address the one burning question on every musical rom-com fan's mind: 'What's happening with Mamma Mia 3?' True to her playful style, Amanda quipped, 'Oh...
yeah, Mamma Mia 3 is happening. Hopefully in Greece, before 2038.'
Safe to say, Amanda's cheeky reply wasn't the concrete update fans were hoping for. However, franchise producer Judy Craymer offered a more hopeful perspective in her interview with Deadline. She emphasized her unwavering belief in Mamma Mia's timeless global appeal—anchored by ABBA's iconic music. Craymer noted that the charm of ABBA transcends generations, saying, 'The
Sabrina Carpenter
generation and Dua Lipa's, and even Pink's generation, are all influenced by the songs.'
When asked directly if Sabrina Carpenter might join the Mamma Mia universe, producer Judy Craymer playfully envisioned her as 'a goddess' or perhaps a character related to Meryl Streep's Donna—someone who could strikingly resemble the iconic lead. While not a confirmation, the idea certainly adds fuel to fan speculation.
Interestingly, the more popular fan-cast fantasy has Sabrina Carpenter playing the daughter of Amanda Seyfried's character.
But with only about a 13-year age gap between the two stars, the idea raises some eyebrows. It remains to be seen whether Amanda would be on board with such a bold casting choice.
Refreshingly candid, Amanda Seyfried addressed the fan-casting buzz in a 2023 chat with ABC News. Embracing the idea, she said she'd happily don old-age makeup if needed. 'I'm an actor. I'll do it,' she quipped, adding that she's a big fan of Sabrina Carpenter and fully on board if it happens.

When Every Tourist On Eiffel Tower Vibed To ‘Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein'
Last Updated: The video shows the group singing the legendary Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein. A group of Indian travellers transformed Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower into an impromptu Bollywood concert spot. Captivating passersby, they performed the classic Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein, a romantic melody from the 1951 film Chori Chori, originally sung by legends Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey. The beautifully shot video captures the trio singing in perfect harmony near the Eiffel Tower, with spectators, many of them tourists from around the world, enjoying the soulful performance. Some are seen clapping along and swaying to the tune. This enchanting blend of classic Indian music against the stunning Parisian backdrop created a magical atmosphere that resonated deeply with viewers. The video's caption read, 'Every tourist enjoyed Indian song with us at the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France." It quickly went viral, earning praise for the group's spontaneous and heartwarming musical tribute. Indian music has often bridged cultural and language divisions, with people across nations appreciating it. Weeks back, Deanna Leigh, a 23-year-old travel vlogger from the United Kingdom, posted a hilarious video on Instagram about how she unexpectedly fell in love with India's 'Swach Bharat" jingle. She said, 'I heard it all the time in Jodhpur. I thought it was just a fun song people sang every morning." Deanna had no idea that the catchy tune blaring from loudspeakers was a call to take out the trash. She said, 'I didn't know. I just thought it was a cheerful morning tune." Sharing her opinion, Deanna wrote, 'My new favourite song in India! At one point, this was all I would hear in the mornings. I had no clue what it meant… but damn, what a banger!" In the video, a garbage truck is shown rolling down the street while playing charming music, leaving Deanna both amazed and fascinated. Prasoon Joshi wrote the song Swachh Bharat Ka Irada, which was sung by Kailash Kher. First Published:

South Newsmakers of the Week: Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee's wedding date, Kamal Haasan's Kannada row and more
The South cinema industry saw several buzzing updates this week, with multiple announcements making waves. As we head into the weekend, here are a few highlights that stood out most to the audience. 1. Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee's wedding date Akhil Akkineni and his fiancée, Zainab Ravdjee, are all set to tie the knot after making their relationship official in November 2024. The wedding is reportedly scheduled for June 6, 2025. According to multiple reports, the Lenin actor will get married in a grand ceremony at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad—the same venue where his brother Naga Chaitanya's wedding with Sobhita Dhulipala took place. There is also speculation about an additional celebration being planned in Rajasthan. Recently, Akhil's parents, veteran actors Nagarjuna Akkineni and Amala Akkineni, officially invited Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to the wedding. 2. Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel's NTRNeel to step away from Dragon title In an exclusive update from Pinkvilla, it was reported that Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel's upcoming film, tentatively titled NTRNeel, may drop the potential title Dragon. A source revealed, 'The issue arises because Dragon is already a registered title for a Tamil film releasing in 2025, which prevents the production team from officially locking it. Additionally, the Tamil Dragon was dubbed in Telugu, raising concerns over legal complications and possible fan confusion in the Telugu-speaking market.' While Dragon remains a working title for now, the makers are expected to announce the final title soon. 3. Kamal Haasan's Kannada language row Kamal Haasan recently made headlines after commenting that the Kannada language was born out of Tamil during the Thug Life audio launch event. His remarks sparked debate among netizens, leading the Karnataka Film Chamber to demand a ban on his films unless he issues an apology. However, the veteran actor has refrained from apologizing, stating he will only do so if he believes he has done something wrong.
