EXCLUSIVE: Shraddha Kapoor dubs for the Hindi version of Disney’s highly awaited animation film Zootopia 2

admin

Shraddha Kapoor owned 2024 with her power-packed performance in Stree 2, the highest grosser of Bollywood to date. Recently, she took the cake at the trailer launch of the 2025 Diwali release Thamma. Thamma belongs to the same universe as Stree 2 and hence, she graced the occasion and impressed fans and her critics in her trademark style. And now, she’s all set to appear in front of the media once again on Saturday, November 8. The mediapersons got an invite earlier today saying that she’ll be present to make a special announcement. The only additional information was that the event is held by Star Studio18. It made the media curious, wondering what could be the announcement. Her next film, Eetha, went on floors recently. It is backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar of Chhaava (2025) fame. It was assumed that probably Star Studio18 may have come on board for Eetha. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the event, which will be held at a multiplex in Mumbai tomorrow, has nothing to do with Eetha. A source told us, “Shraddha Kapoor has dubbed for the Hindi version of Disney’s highly awaited animated film, Zootopia 2. This is the announcement that will be made at the November 8 event.”The source continued, “Shraddha Kapoor has a lovely voice and has probably never dubbed for a Hollywood film before. Moreover, she’s one of the top stars and has a huge fan following among kids and families, who are also the target audience for Zootopia 2. Therefore, they felt that she was the apt choice. Shraddha was on board immediately. She has been a Disney heroine before, in ABCD Any Body Can Dance 2 (2015) and had a wonderful experience of being associated with the brand. As a result, she was too happy to reunite, this time with Walt Disney Animation Studios, for Zootopia 2. Zootopia 2 is the sequel to the 2016 film Zootopia, a story of a rookie police officer rabbit and a con artist fox who team up to uncover a conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators. The film was a blockbuster and globally earned over $1 billion. Interestingly, Zootopia 2 is not the only animated film in Shraddha Kapoor’s pipeline. She is also a part of Choti Stree, which also belongs to the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Also Read: Shraddha Kapoor starts filming Eetha, Laxman Utekar’s biopic on Tamasha icon Vithabai.

EXCLUSIVE: Akshay Kumar–Anees Bazmee reunite for madcap love triangle – a reimagined Sankranthiki Vasthunam; to go on floors in February 2026

admin

Anees Bazmee and Akshay Kumar are reuniting after tasting success together in films like Welcome and Singh Is Kinng. And now, our reliable sources have confirmed that Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee’s next is a reimagined version of Venkatesh-led Sankranthiki Vasthunam. The film will be produced by Dil Raju and is touted to be an out-and-out comic entertainer. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Anees and Akshay loved the plot of the lead character stuck between his wife and ex-girlfriend that Sankranthiki Vasthunam rides on. However, the original had a lot of Telugu flavour. To make the film palatable for the Hindi audience, Anees Bazmee is reimagining the film, keeping the core plot intact.”The source further told Bollywood Hungama, “Anees is a master of cracking new screenplays based on already established films, and this one too will not just be bigger than the original, but also funnier, as he plans to put together a lot of gags in the narrative, which were not present in the original film. Over the three decades, Bazmee has written several love triangles in the comic space, and this one falls in his zone of situational comedy.”The writing work is going on in full swing, and the makers are aiming to take the untitled film on floors in February 2026. The film is not a remake, but a reimagined take on the original film, as the screenplay will be packaged with new scenes. “It’s 60 per cent of fresh sequences, and just 40 per cent original to keep the essence of the plot intact.”Also Read: Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani wrap up ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ song shoot in Dubai.

POV: Senior Cat Steals the Heart of the Facilities Supervisor at a Free-Roaming Cat Shelter in Colorado, Gets Adopted

admin

Every cat person knows that the cat chooses you and it’s not the other way around. Even if you think it was you who got up that morning, decided you were ready to adopt a cat, went to the cat shelter, picked out a cat, and adopted them. Sorry to tell ya, that cat was pulling your little puppet strings. Cats are in cahoots with the universe, so even from the thought of wanted to adopt a cat, that cat was the one who sent it into your head. That’s a cat fact. Senior cats are much less likely to get adopted over kittens and healthy adult cats. It’s a shame, but that’s just how it is. But that doesn’t mean the power of purrsuasion is any less powerful! Take this old Kitty named Dun Dun Dun. This baby lived in a free-roaming cat shelter in Colorado. However, not for long, because when the facilities supervisor came in for work one day, that cat decided he was their person. And guess what? You darn tootin’ that facilities supervisor adopted Dun Dun Dun that same day!.
