Brad Pitt refuses multi-million dollar offer to work with Angelina Jolie

by
Brad Pitt
  • Brad Pitt rejected multi-million dollar offer to work with Jolie.
  • Source says Pitt won’t work with Jolie due to heartache.
  • Producer’s offer seen as a publicity stunt, not a real deal.

Brad Pitt has reportedly turned down a multi-million dollar offer to star alongside his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in a film, citing the emotional turmoil their relationship has caused him. A source close to the 60-year-old actor stated, “All the money in the world wouldn’t get Brad to appear in a movie with Angelina ever again. It’s not anything he would ever consider for a moment.”

The estranged couple, whose divorce proceedings have been ongoing since 2016, were approached by producer Danny Rossner to star as an on-screen couple in a new film inspired by the life of hotelier Emmanuel Martinez. Rossner believed the project could encourage Pitt and Jolie to “put their differences aside.”

However, insiders close to Pitt dismissed the idea, calling it a “clever publicity stunt” rather than a genuine offer. “There was never any real offer. They are currently bitter enemies, so there is no way Brad would lower himself to be paid any amount of money to talk to Angie on screen,” the source explained.

The tension between the two Hollywood icons has been a public affair, with Pitt unwilling to revisit a professional relationship due to the “heartache” Jolie has caused him.

by
Allu Arjun
  • Allu Arjun was criticized for not visiting the stampede victim.
  • Arjun shared a note on Instagram explaining his actions.
  • He shared his condolences with the stampede victim family.

Actor Allu Arjun has released a statement addressing criticism over his actions following his release from jail in connection with the stampede tragedy at the premiere of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule.

The incident, which occurred on December 4 at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre, claimed the life of 35-year-old Revathi, while her son, Sri Tej, remains in critical condition.

Arjun, arrested on Friday and released on Saturday, faced backlash for spending time with friends and family instead of visiting the hospital. In response, he shared a note on Instagram explaining his actions.

“I remain deeply concerned about young Sri Tej, who is under constant medical care after the unfortunate incident,” he wrote. He further clarified, “Due to the ongoing legal proceedings, I have been advised not to visit him and his family at this time. My prayers remain with them, and I remain committed to addressing their medical and family needs.”

During a media address, the actor expressed his condolences. “It is truly of no direct connection to me, truly accidental, purely unintentional. My love is with the family, and I’ll be there in whatever way possible,” he said.

The tragic stampede occurred while Arjun was inside the theatre with his wife Sneha Reddy and co-star Rashmika Mandanna.

Abhay Deol look-alike contest in Delhi leaves social media unimpressed

by
Abhay Deol
  • Cinephiles gathered for a quirky contest dedicated to Abhay Deol.
  • Some recreating Abhay’s iconic moments from his films.
  • The event offered a ₹500 cash prize with three film screening tickets.

The trend of celebrity look-alike competitions, ignited by a Timothée Chalamet-inspired event in New York, has now reached India. On Sunday, cinephiles gathered at Delhi’s Hauz Khas Park for a quirky contest dedicated to Bollywood actor Abhay Deol.

Organized by the Instagram account Films From Underground, the event offered a ₹500 cash prize, three film screening tickets, and two packets of chewing gum.

Dozens of contestants participated, with some recreating Abhay’s iconic moments. One attendee sported a black ‘wifebeater,’ channeling Deol’s recent Instagram photos, while another showed up with a black eye—a nod to the actor’s viral awards show appearance after an altercation with a music company.

Ultimately, a man in a yellow sweater and messy mullet claimed the prize, though not everyone was impressed. “Look away competition,” joked one attendee, while another quipped, “Abhay Deol from Meesho.”

Unlike Chalamet, who made a surprise appearance at his own look-alike contest in Manhattan in October, Deol was absent. Chalamet’s event, however, spiraled into chaos.

“It started off as a silly joke, and now it’s turned pandemonium,” said Paige Nguyen, producer for YouTuber Anthony Po, who staged the event. Police dispersed the crowd and fined organizers $500 for the “unpermitted costume contest.”
