Citadel: Varun hints at OTT debut with Priyanka

By Sumit Blogs -

Bollywood star Varun Dhawan says he will make his debut on the OTT platform with a “big” show.
Amidst media reports about the 34-year-old actor foraying into the digital medium with the Indian spin-off of the action-packed American spy series ‘Citadel’ starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, Dhawan teased his OTT debut.
“I love it (the platform). Something big and interesting is coming. But it won’t be released this year. I am excited about it,” Dhawan said, without divulging details.

Priyanka was filming for the series in London. The production is being directed by ‘Avengers: Endgame’ filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo.

On the film front, the actor has two releases – ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’, a comedy-drama with Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Kiara Advani and comedy-horror ‘Bhediya’, directed by ‘Stree’ director Amar Kaushik. Both the films are slated to release this year.

Dhawan said while he is excited about the release of his films, the pandemic has made him realize that life is not all about one’s professional life.

“My father has been working for so many years and has made 45-46 films and he had to sit at home. We all had to (due to the pandemic). I am much younger, we have to realise that our lives can’t only be this, we need to have other personal growth.

“Films are back and I have ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’ and ‘Bhediya’ coming. We have had a great time working on these two films,” he said.

The actor is also looking forward to his collaboration with the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.

He will be back on stage performing at the upcoming 22nd edition of IIFA Weekend and Awards, which will be held on May 20 and 21 in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

Dhawan said he is looking forward to meeting his fans, with whom he would often interact in person during the pandemic.

“First time, I got time during the lockdown to meet and talk to a few fans, otherwise, it was about taking a selfie and all of that. I want to have a relationship with my fans where I can talk to them, understand what is happening in their life and family,” he said.
Like his superstar mentors such as megastar Amitabh Bachchan, superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, Dhawan said he too would like to have a personal connection with his fans.
“Eventually the high of fame can be felt for the initial six or eight years but after that what? It should be about touching people’s hearts. Like, how Amitabh Bachchan sir meets or greets his fans outside his house (every Sunday), it is all about having a personal connection with your fans.
“I would like to dedicate a couple of hours to meet my fans like Amitabh sir or Shah Rukh or Salman sir. That is also important. It is all about giving love back to them,” he added. Credit Source – https://ift.tt/8GJDRkY

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
