More info Get the latest Edinburgh Live breaking news on WhatsApp Huge Edinburgh crowds gathered on a popular street after a famous actor was spotted filming in the capital. Varun Dhawan, an Indian actor known for many Hindi films, was in the city recording upcoming scenes for the romantic-comedy movie, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Production was taking place on Victoria Street and crowds erupted into an applause after the 38-year-old actor was spotted in the area. The short clip shared on social media was captioned: "Varun Dhawan seen in Edinburgh today... shooting scenes from 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai". The movie is set for release in April next year and is a remake of a classic '90s Bollywood film. Residents in the city have also seen filming taking place outside the Royal Scottish Academy and down at Portobello beach. The films title comes from a Hindu saying, which roughly translates means that 'young people are bound to fall in love'. The project comes from director David Dhawan, and features his son Varun Dhawan, as well as Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur. Cast and crew were seen filming scenes on Portobello beach on Monday. A casting call was released in early May, with extras wanted for a hospital scene who could play nurses and doctors in the background. The 30-day shoot in Scotland is understood to cover two songs, with key chase sequences and 'comedic scenes' for the film. A source told Pinkvilla, a top Bollywood news site: "A lot of combination scenes, leading to chaos on screen will be shot in Scotland.

The original film, from 1999, starred actors such as Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan, and many refer to it as Chunnari Chunnari - its popular main track.

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.

Mumtaz has admitted to being in love with Shammi Kapoor at several instances. She has also revealed that they were to get married but could not. In a recent interview she was asked about how Shammi was as a lover and how it was to spend time with him. However, Mumtaz confessed that in those days, her parents were very strict and it was not like how relationships work today. She said in an interview with Filmybeat, "Hamare zamaaane mein aisa nahi tha ke pure din saath mein baithe rahe because I was also busy working and even him. I would come home from work and entertain his guests. Dekh liya, khana vana ho gaya sab ho gaya. Then I would say, I will go now because my mother will wait for me and she would scold me. Uss zamaane mein parents were very strict, I come from a Muslim family, Iranians are very strict. I never went shooting alone. My mother was always with me. Toh aisa kabhi nahi hua ke poore poore din aur raat saath bitaye ho. (During our times it wasn't like we will spend the whole day together because we were both busy working. I would come home from work though, go to his house, look after things, entertain his guests, look at all the arrangements for him and his guests. Then I would quickly rush back home as my mom would scold me. Our parents used to be very strict. I never went on a film shoot alone. There was never a time when we spent days and nights together)." She further spoke about choosing her career over love. "I have said this many times that we didn't get married because Papaji (Shammi Kapoor's father) didn't allow the women in his family to work. I was ambititious. They didn't allow women in their house to work. Uss wakhat Geeta ji (Geeta Bali) ne bhi kaam chhod diya tha. Agar kuch hona hai shadi ke baad bhi, pichle darwaaze se jaake bhi insaan ishq kar sakta tha. He was right and I respect him immensely for that. Jinko pyaar ho jaata hai, woh karte hi hai. (I respected him (Shammi Kapoor's father) for his decision for not allowing the women in his family or his daughter-in-laws to work. But I feel that if someone wants to cheat in a marriage, they can go out and do it in anway. He was right though in taking his measures and I truly respected him)." In this interview, she also mentioned that Shammi was married to a very good woman and she feels good that she was by his side when he passed away. Shammi Kapoor was married to Geeta Bali. After she passed away, Shammi had met Mumtaz. Later after they parted ways, Shammi married Neila Devi.
