Have you heard? Taapsee reacts to Kirti being sidelined for Pink promotions

Pinky promise 

Taapsee Pannu has responded to Kirti Kulhari’s claims of being “sidelined” during the promotion of their film Pink (2016). Taapsee stated that she was unaware of Kirti’s feelings at the time, adding that she respects her co-star’s emotions. Taapsee said, “If someone has felt a certain way, I’m sure there’s a reason… I would have liked to speak to her at that point and ask if there was something I could do to make it better.” She maintained that their professional relationship remained unchanged, even after working together again in Mission Mangal (2019).

Siddharth Anand out of Krrish 4

Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan

The highly anticipated Krrish 4 has hit a roadblock as filmmaker Siddharth Anand has parted ways with the film’s producer Rakesh Roshan and actor Hrithik Roshan due to scheduling conflicts. Siddharth was supposed to produce the Hrithik-starrer, which is said to be helmed by Karan Malhotra. Reports suggest that Siddharth is now fully occupied with his double duty of director-producer on Shah Rukh Khan’s next, King. Apparently, this has created, a timeline clash with Krrish 4. The decision to part ways was reportedly amicable and not related to budgetary concerns. We have also heard that Roshan senior is “refining the script to meet international standards within a realistic budget.”
