Deepika Padukone recently made a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, and she was lauded by the audiences for her role in the action-thriller film. Now, an old interview of the actress is doing the rounds on the internet, in which she talks about getting replaced in a film that she was ‘very excited’ about.

In an interview with Filmfare, Deepika says that at that point, she felt that that film would have done a lot for her career by just being a part of it. She said how she met the producer, and he was like, ‘We are very sure, but the actor is traveling. Let me discuss it with him, but consider it done.’ 

Deepika said that she thought she had secured the role; however, later, she found out that she was no longer a part of it. “Basically, there had been some sort of swap,” added the actress. While she did not mention the movie or the actor’s name, fans are assuming that Padukone is talking about Aamir Khan and how he replaced her with Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3.

Further, Deepika revealed that she ended up doing Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani alongside Ranbir Kapoor. “I’m so happy I did. I’m so happy that it fell into my lap. It’s the best thing that could’ve happened to me. It was a classic example of when things happen, they happen for a reason,” she concluded.

On the work front, the actress will be seen next in Fighter, Kalki 2898 AD, and Singham Again.

Ranbir Kapoor will be seen next in Animal, which is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Tripti Dimri.

A recent report in Pinkvilla states that the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor has reduced his acting fees for Animal by 50 per cent. Ranbir’s current market value is around Rs 70 crore per film. The actor’s decision was to support the producers of Animal, Bhushan Kumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

The sources added that Kapoor is charging a fee of Rs 30-35 crores for Animal. He will reportedly have a share of the profits if money is made on the film. “The amount of fees reduced by the actor has been spent on improving the production value of his gangster-drama,” added the source.

A few days ago, on Ranbir’s birthday, the teaser of Animal was unveiled, and it revolves around a troubled father-son relationship. The film is scheduled to release on December 1, 2023.

On the work front, Ranbir was last seen in Luv Ranjan’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, which starred Shraddha Kapoor in the lead alongside Dimple Kapadia, Anubhav Singh Bassi Inayat Verma, Hasleen Kaur, and Boney Kapoor, among others.

Dilip Joshi became a household name after starring in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. In it, he plays the role of Jethalal Champaklal Gada. Now, according to a media report, the actor will be taking a break from the show.

“Dilip Joshi has taken a break from his show and is currently on a short religious trip to Tanzania with his family,”. The report further stated that he is currently in Dar es salaam for a special occasion that is happening in the Swaminarayan temple.

Dilip, who is an active social media user, has yet to share photos or videos from his religious trip.

This means that he will not be a part of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah for a few days now. The members of Gokuldham have welcomed Bappa to their society, and the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations have finally begun.

During the episode of the show, Jethalal reveals that he will be missing the celebration this time as he has to head to Indore as he has received a special invitation from a colleague. This explains his absence from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

Apart from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Dilip has worked in the Gujarati and Hindi film and television industries. He has also been a part of Hindi movies like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, One 2 Ka 4, Dil Hai Tumhaara, and What’s Your Raashee?
