Ali Zafar signs Yash Raj Film

Bowled over by the actor’s performance in Tere Bin Laden, Aditya Chopra signed him for YRF’s next.

Yesterday, this newspaper reported that the lead actor of Tere Bin Laden, Ali Zafar, is considering moving to Mumbai. Well, now we know why.

The Pakistani actor has a new fan in Aditya Chopra and was recently signed on by Yash Raj Films for their next film, which will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar (yes, the name coincidentally is quite similar!).

Apparently, Ritesh Deshmukh was initially approached for the same role but he declined the offer. Apart from Ali in one of the lead roles, the untitled YRF film stars Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif as well. Clearly, Ritesh’s loss is Ali’s gain.

Our source said, “Aditya Chopra loved Tere Bin Laden. YRF is known to spot talented newcomers. They are also giving director Ali Abbas Zafar his first break in this film. And as far as the actor Ali Zafar is concerned, the production house may sign him for at least three films.”

So, Ali’s future looks bright. When contacted, the official spokesperson of Yash Raj Films confirmed the news and said, “Ali Zafar has been confirmed for a leading part in the movie along with Imran and Katrina.”

Sardaar Ji 3

Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh are celebrating massive box office success as their film Sardaar Ji 3 races past several major titles in Pakistan.

Reports confirm that Sardaar Ji 3 has shattered records nationwide, especially in Lahore, where it’s playing on over 30 cinema screens. Producers Gambhir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu, and Diljit Dosanjh released the film across Pakistan on June 27.

Despite strong opposition in India, Sardaar Ji 3 made history by earning the highest-ever first-day box office for an Indian film in Pakistan, collecting PKR 3.5 crore and surpassing Salman Khan’s Sultan (2016). Globally, the film has already earned over ?36.6 crore.

Blending comedy, fantasy, and horror, the film stars Diljit as a ghost hunter on a thrilling mission in a haunted UK mansion. The cast includes Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Pakistani actors Nasir Chinyoti, Saleem Albela, and Daniyal Khawar.

Lakshmi Manchu Defends Pakistani Artists Amid Ongoing India Ban

Lakshmi Manchu

Renowned Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu has openly criticized the increasing restrictions on Pakistani artists, challenging the fairness of such bans and censorship.

Speaking amid the controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3—which stars Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani actress Hania Aamir—Lakshmi questioned the decision to block the film’s release in India following objections from local film bodies.

She voiced her frustration over the politicisation of art and targeted the logic of punishing creative professionals. “Are Pakistani artists really a threat?” she asked, calling the outrage over cross-border collaborations deeply misplaced.

She defended the role of art as a force above political tensions and condemned the Instagram account suspensions affecting Pakistani celebrities, labeling them a violation of free expression. “If we treat them like this, where is the India we are proud of?” she questioned.

Lakshmi Manchu strongly opposed blanket bans on Pakistani talent, arguing that such measures damage the cultural bridge the arts can build between nations. “Artists rise above nationalities,” she said, adding, “To say ‘you can’t do this’ to an artist simply because of their background undermines everything art stands for.”

Asim Azhar Reacts to Merub Chants at Concert

Asim Azhar

Singer Asim Azhar recently addressed his fans directly during a concert, urging them to respect personal boundaries and avoid dragging private matters into public spaces.

The incident unfolded when a few attendees began chanting remarks about Asim’s former fiancée, Merub Ali. Taking hold of the microphone, Asim responded calmly, asking the crowd to stop.

“Please don’t say such things,” he told them. “It hurts both families. Let’s not bring personal matters into such public gatherings.”

He reminded the audience to show empathy for artists and their personal lives. A video of the moment quickly circulated online, sparking mixed reactions. While many applauded Asim for staying composed and mature, others were surprised by the disruption.

One user commented, “It’s our duty not to insult entertainers. They don’t perform alone—they bring their families too. Heckling hurts everyone involved. This herd mentality must end.”

Earlier, Asim officially confirmed the end of his engagement with Merub Ali. Sharing a message via Instagram, he wrote, “Salam everyone, we hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to share something personal, as we believe we owe that to those who have supported us.”

He added, “After much thought and reflection, Merub and I have decided to go our separate ways—peacefully and with mutual understanding.”

Asim acknowledged the bond they shared and noted, “We continue to hold deep respect for each other and for our families.” He concluded by requesting privacy, asking fans to show the same grace with which the message was shared.

Merub Ali has not made any public statement yet, but fans noticed that both have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The couple, who had known each other since childhood, got engaged in 2022 and acted together in Sinf-e-Aahan. They were frequently seen together in public, often making headlines for their close friendship.
