Ranveer Singh joins hands with Abu Dhabi Tourism as destination brand ambassador for Indian market

Experience Abu Dhabi has today announced Indian superstar, and pop culture icon Ranveer Singh, as an official ambassador, inspiring visitors to discover the diverse range of experiences that can be enjoyed on a trip to Abu Dhabi.

During the two-year partnership, Ranveer will share his holiday highlights, inviting Indian travellers to find their pace in Abu Dhabi and enjoy everything that the destination has to offer, from an action-packed calendar of events including IIFA, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the Abu Dhabi NBA Games, to the variety of adventures and cultural experiences that can inspire, excite and restore.

Ranveer commences his exciting role by starring in Abu Dhabi’s new summer campaign film, ‘One Summer Isn’t Enough’. In the film, audiences will witness Ranveer explore some of Abu Dhabi’s hotspots, from soaking up the sun in the chilled pools of Saadiyat Beach Club to taking in the wonder at Louvre Abu Dhabi and racing around the famous Yas Marina Circuit, before enjoying retail therapy at one of the city’s incredible malls.

A true showman, Ranveer could not leave Abu Dhabi without perfecting the iconic Al Ayyala dance – deeply rooted in UAE culture, it involves performers using thin bamboo canes to move to the steady beat of drums. Ranveer's infectious enthusiasm and passion for Abu Dhabi are sure to inspire every traveller to add Abu Dhabi to their summer bucket list.

With so many things to do, summer is an ideal time to visit the UAE capital. Just like Ranveer, Indian travellers can be inspired by Abu Dhabi’s rich culture and heritage scene across. 23 locations, including Qasr Al Hosn and the presidential palace of Qasr Al Watan. Alternatively, those looking for adventure can reach new heights at one of Abu Dhabi’s many theme parks including Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

Meanwhile, couples can escape to a private and secluded desert island retreat of Nurai Island, just 15 minutes away by boat, or enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime meal at one of Abu Dhabi’s recently awarded Michelin-starred and Michelin-recognised restaurants. An exciting calendar of events will make this an unforgettable summer, including the return of IIFA in May, unrivalled family fun at Paw Patrol Live, as well as an exhilarating concert by rock legends Gun n’ Roses.

Ranveer Singh commented, “I am delighted to be the destination ambassador for Abu Dhabi. This is the most fun I've had behind the camera! I've been visiting the emirate for years, and it feels like a second home to me. Now, I have the opportunity to share what makes it so special with the world. Every time I visit, there is something new to discover, and I always leave with countless memories and a strong desire to return. With so much to see and do, and just a short three-hour flight from Mumbai, Abu Dhabi is a must-visit holiday destination for everyone to experience."

Jawan postponed; to now release on June 29 instead of June 2? STOIC Silence from Shah Rukh Khan and Red Chillies Entertainment adds to the speculation and confusion

The super-success of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan led to jubilation in the industry and trade. It also heightened the buzz for Jawan, SRK’s next release. It is scheduled to release on June 2 and there were expectations that the film’s promotional campaign would begin in the first week of May. Bollywood Hungama even reported about it last week.

However, since then, significant developments have taken place. And it’s now being said that Jawan might not be able to make it on the said date. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The fact that the teaser or trailer of Jawan isn’t out yet and that there has been no intimation from Red Chillies Entertainment as to when the promotions will start have added to the speculation that Jawan is getting postponed.”

Reports are also floating around that Jawan will now release on Thursday, June 29. The source continued, “If it releases on the 29th, it can have a four-day weekend and also get the advantage of the Bakri Eid holiday on its release day. Moreover, Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2 were slated to arrive in cinemas on July 7. Both got pushed last week. Many believed that these movies were postponed as they don’t want to get in the way of the Jawan wave.”

Interestingly, Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, is scheduled to release in cinemas on June 29. As of now, there has been no confirmation whether this Nadiadwala Grandson production is moving from this date.

An industry insider lamented, “A lot of speculation and confusion are going around in the trade and industry over this aspect. I hope Shah Rukh Khan or Red Chillies Entertainment make some announcement ASAP as to whether Jawan is releasing on June 2 or being postponed.”

Directed by Atlee, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Sanya Malhotra along with Deepika Padukone in a special appearance.

Titli Promo: Star Plus gives audiences a sneak peek into their new show starring Neha Solanki and Avinash Mishra

Star Plus is all set to give audiences a love story that is unusual and never-seen-before, titled Titli.  The show features Neha Solanki, who was seen in Zee TV’s Sethji and Star Bharat’s Mayavi Maling, essaying the titular role of Titli. It will also mark the return of Avinash Mishra on Star Plus, after Yeh Rishte Hai Pyaar Ke in 2020 in which he played Kunal Rajvansh alongside Kaveri Priyam’s Kuhu, as well as Vatsal Sheth, who gained fame as Shaurya Goenka, in the popular show Ek Hasina Thi . Avinash will be essaying the character of Garv. Star dropped the first look of the show earlier this weekend and the promo has already garnered ample curiosity.

Going by the latest promo, the show promises to explore different shades of Titli, ranging from a young aspirational woman to those of being emotionally vulnerable. She is a representation of a young lady with the aspirations to meet her ideal man, marry and live happily ever after with him. But her dreams of a prince charming are simple and it is not about marrying a superstar like Shahrukh Khan but it is quite ordinary as she defines a man who can understand her dreams and let her fly, just like a butterfly. As she encounters Garv, the latter is seen trapping a butterfly in a bottle jar, making the audiences question if there is truly any happily ever after for Titli and her dreams?

The show promises to make you re-think about romance as it presents a twisted tale of love! Star Plus plans to move forward with a unique way of story-telling for its audience with Titli, which, is produced by Story Square Productions. While the promo gives a glimpse of Titli and Garv, it is yet to be seen what character Vatsal Seth will be playing.
