The post First poster of Ardh is out appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>In the poster, Rubina is seen donning a saree with gajras adorning her hair. Given her pose, with her hands resting on her waist, it can be presumed that she is either playing a transgender character like her TV show Shakti or a sex worker. The woman stands tall facing the maximum city as Mumbai’s famous spots — Gateway of India, Hotel Taj, Central railway station, Siddhivinayak temple and the marine drive — are seen in the poster.
Ardh is being targeted for an OTT release in early 2022.

The film is set to go on floors in September this year.
Talking about this challenging role, Aditya said, “I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me. As an actor, getting a chance to do a double role is double the preparation and double the challenge, and I’m certainly up for it! I look forward to collaborating with Bhushanji, Murad Bhai and Vardhan to bring this exciting thriller to the screen soon.”
Murad Khetani added, “When Murad Bhai shared the idea of the Hindi remake of Thadam I was excited as it had received a lot of acclaim down south. Working with like-minded people is always fun, that is why I like collaborating with Murad Bhai. The last film we did with Aditya was an action film and everyone loved him in that role. We all mutually agreed he will fit the characters in this as well.”
Meanwhile, Aditya Roy Kapur will be seen in upcoming film OM-The Battle Within alongside Dil Bechara actress Sanjana Sanghi. The action thriller film features the actor duo sporting a rugged action look that they have carried for their action sequences.

]]>The post American singer – songwriter Britney Spears slams people ‘who never showed up for her’ appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>She took to her Instagram handle on Friday and shared her thoughts alongside an image of text that read, “Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.”


In the caption of the post, she wrote, “There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support. There’s nothing worse than that !!!!”
Britney further continued and added, “How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ????”
Though the ‘Crossroads’ actor did not specify who exactly she was referring to but noted that the subjects know who they are.” … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …,” she concluded the post.
It was a big week for Spears after her victory in court with Rosengart’s approval. The change in representation came after her bombshell testimony last month in which she railed against her father Jamie Spears and the conservatorship that he has overseen since 2008.
