The chosen location, Fairmont Udaipur Palace, offers a picturesque backdrop for what is expected to be an intimate yet glamorous affair. Reports indicate that decor teams and hotel staff are already making discreet preparations, fueling speculation and excitement online. The guest list is expected to include close family, friends, and select personalities from the film and music industries. Kriti Sanon’s industry colleagues are also anticipated to grace the occasion.

Nupur Sanon, who has gained recognition through popular music videos and ventured into acting with projects like ‘Pop Kaun?’ and ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao,’ is also gearing up for her Bollywood debut with ‘Noorani Chehra.’ Singer Stebin Ben is celebrated for his hit tracks such as ‘Sahiba,’ ‘Mera Mehboob,’ and ‘Thoda Thoda Pyaar.’ Both have largely maintained privacy regarding their relationship.

Dhar expressed her enthusiasm for the film, stating, “Dhurandhar is poised to be a stalwart of a film! In India, this genre has probably not been cinematically presented with such precision, authenticity and panache before. I am happy to be a part of this film.” She lauded the efforts of director Aditya Dhar and producers Aditya Dhar & Lokesh Dhar, adding, “it was a delight to see ‘The Chameleon’, a master performer, Ranveer in action!!”

Highlighting the film’s potential to redefine storytelling, Gitikka remarked, “Every few years comes a film that changes how the story is told. ‘Dhurandhar’ is one such feature film. Aditya Dhar, as sharp & clear-headed a director as can be, has excelled in his attempt to make a bold and authentic representation of the truth of this plot.”

She further emphasized the importance of authenticity and research in filmmaking, noting that future narratives on similar subjects will need to match the preparation invested in ‘Dhurandhar’. Gitikka also shared her positive working experience with seasoned actors Rakesh Bedi, Ranveer Singh, and Sara Arjun.

Gitikka Ganju Dhar brings a wealth of experience to the project, having previously appeared in Aamir Khan Productions’ ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and ‘Music Meri Jaan’. Her recent performances in the critically acclaimed OTT series ‘Tanaav Season 2’ on SonyLIV and ‘Aarya Season 2’ on Disney+ Hotstar have further cemented her reputation.

‘Dhurandhar’ boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Akshaye Khanna. The film is slated for a theatrical release on December 5, 2025.

Kapoor explained that Sridevi’s mother initially quoted a fee of INR 10 lakhs. However, Boney Kapoor, eager to secure her for a film and perhaps impress, countered with INR 11 lakhs. This negotiation occurred when Sridevi was a top star and was being considered for a role opposite Sunny Deol in the film ‘Joshilaay.’ Kapoor’s intention was also to cast his brother opposite a leading actress, making Sridevi an ideal choice.

He detailed a meeting with Sridevi in Mumbai, where she indicated her mother would handle the financial discussions. Subsequently, Kapoor traveled to Chennai to meet Sridevi’s mother. Despite a language barrier, Kapoor managed to communicate effectively through gestures. He understood her mention of ’10 rupees’ as a coded INR 10 lakhs. Having researched Sridevi’s previous contract, which was for INR 8.5 lakhs, Kapoor initially aimed to offer INR 9 lakhs. When her mother stated ’10 rupees,’ Kapoor surprised her by offering INR 11 lakhs. This was followed by a discussion about staff payments, where Kapoor also agreed to a higher amount of INR 50,000, exceeding the initial quote of INR 30,000.

The producer further elaborated on how he secured Sridevi for Yash Chopra’s directorial venture, ‘Chandni.’ He revealed that he agreed to pay INR 15 lakhs, which pleased Sridevi’s mother. For subsequent films, Kapoor continued this pattern of negotiation. He mentioned an instance where he offered INR 16 lakhs for a film and stipulated that for the next project, ‘Khuda Gawah,’ Sridevi’s fee would be INR 25 lakhs, a figure that was eventually met.

Sridevi remains one of Indian cinema’s most beloved and influential actresses. Her untimely death in Dubai on February 24, 2018, at the age of 54, sent shockwaves through the nation. The official cause of her death was determined to be accidental drowning, with cardiac arrest as a contributing factor.

Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles, she first gained international recognition as Kay Adams in Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal ‘The Godfather’ trilogy, showcasing her ability to hold her own amidst a powerhouse male cast. However, it was her transformative performance as the titular character in Woody Allen’s ‘Annie Hall’ that cemented her stardom. Her portrayal of a complex, charmingly neurotic woman, complete with an iconic fashion sense featuring ties and bowler hats, set a new benchmark for romantic heroines in film. This role earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress and forever etched her into cinematic history.

Throughout her illustrious career, Keaton masterfully traversed various genres, from the dramatic intensity of ‘Looking for Mr. Goodbar’ and ‘Reds’ to the comedic nuances in ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Crimes of the Heart.’ She also ventured into directing, helming ‘Hanging Up.’ In her later years, she gravitated towards roles that resonated with lived experience, starring in beloved films like ‘Something’s Got to Give,’ ‘Baby Boom,’ and ‘The First Wives Club.’ Her enduring talent and impact were recognized with numerous accolades, including a BAFTA, multiple Golden Globes, and a permanent place among Hollywood’s brightest stars.

Beyond her on-screen presence, Keaton’s influence extended to fashion and pop culture. Her offbeat aesthetic and refusal to conform to conventional Hollywood beauty standards inspired a generation to embrace individuality. She championed emotional honesty, allowing her characters to be imperfect and relatable, a stark contrast to the often-idealized female figures in the industry. Keaton also bravely challenged ageism, continuing to lead films well into her seventies and demonstrating that age was no barrier to relevance and talent.

Keaton was a devoted mother to her adopted children, Dexter and Duke, prioritizing their privacy and a grounded upbringing. Her personal life was deeply influenced by her family, particularly her mother, Dorothy Keaton Hall, whose struggle with Alzheimer’s was a central theme in Keaton’s memoir. An advocate for architectural preservation and an accomplished photographer, Keaton lived a multifaceted life. Her candid discussions about her past struggles with bulimia also helped destigmatize eating disorders.

Diane Keaton’s departure leaves an undeniable void in Hollywood. Her unique blend of elegance, wit, and raw emotional power left an indelible mark. She will be remembered not only for her unforgettable performances but for fundamentally changing the way female characters were perceived and portrayed on screen. Her films will continue to inspire, reminding audiences of the rare brilliance of an artist who expanded the vocabulary of human emotion.
