Alia Bhatt who announced her pregnancy on Monday, after tying the knot with Ranbir Kapoor in April, took to Instagram to thank everyone for all the love she has been receiving. She posted, "Overwhelmed with all the love ! Have tried to read everyone's messages and good wishes and all I want to say is, it truly feels so special to celebrate such a big moment in our lives with all your love and blessings. Thank you every single one of you." Meanwhile, she also expressed disappointment in some of the misogynistic media coverage she received. She hit out at a website for suggesting some of her work would be delayed because of the pregnancy. She posted, "Meanwhile we still live in some peoples heads we still live in some patriarchal world .. fyi. Nothing has gotten delayed!!!! No one needs to PICK anyone up. I am a woman not a parcel!!! I do not need to REST at all but good to know you'll have a doctors certification as well. This is 2022. Can we pls get out of this archake way of thinking! Now if you would excuse me … my shot is ready."

When Ananth Mahadevan was casting for his directorial venture The Storyteller last year, he received a call from actor-friend Revathy who wondered why he hadn’t approached her for the project. While he was more than happy to bring her on board, the south actor-filmmaker had another suggestion. “She was about to begin work on Salaam Venky, and asked me if I would return the favour and do a role in her movie. So, I shot with Revathy for Salaam Venky first. Then, she came to shoot for my film,†laughs the senior actor. Salaam Venky sees Revathy take her place behind the camera to tell the real-life story of a mother who “battles a challenging situation with a smile.†While she roped in Kajol to lead the drama, Mahadevan plays a spiritual guru. “I play the guruji of a young boy called Venky, who wants to donate his organs after death. Kajol plays his mother. My character helps the boy spiritually and psychologically,†he says.
