What happens to Ananya Pandays upcoming films?

28 Oct 2021

It is common knowledge in the film industry that Ananya Panday is very close to Karan Johar. Ananyas parents Chunky Pandey and Bhavna Pandey are close friends of Karan. When they decided that Ananya would be an actress, it was Karan they trusted with her career. He launched Ananya with Student of The Year 2 in 2019.Now Karan has two major films with Ananya on the floorsLiger, the big action thriller launching Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda into Bollywood, and an untitled film co-starring Deepika Padukone and Siddhanth Chaturvedi.Both the projects have curious drug connections. Liger is directed by Puri Jagannadh. The Telugu director known for many box office hits was an accused in a huge drug scandal in Andhra Pradeshs film industry in 2017. 62 personalities from the Telugu film industry including Puri and his Liger co-producer Charmee Kaur were grilled by the Telangana Excise (Enforcement) Department. They were later given a clean chit.As for Ananyas other forthcoming film, the untitled venture directed by Shakun Batra and produced (again) by Karan Johar, Ananyas co-star Deepika Padukone was grilled by the Narcotics Control Bureau last year. Again, a clean chit.One hears that both of Ananya Pandeys forthcoming films are now on hold indefinitely. Until the picture is clearer, a source close to the development reveals. The picture isnt likely to be clear anytime soon.

Chunky Panday opens up about the highs and lows of his career, says sitting at home can be depressing

23 Sep 2019

Being one of the most sought actors of the late 80s and 90s, Chunky Pandey lost a grip on his career after his 1993 hit, Aakhen.The actor was one of the famous actors who played the protagonist. However, after his comeback in Housefull and Begum Jaan , he has started opting for the role of an antagonist. The actor reveals he has always had the knack to play the role of a villain because the hero is expected to be good all the time and the villain can get away with everything. However, his career was not always smooth. The actor realized that in the late 90s and early 2000s, the generation had completely forgotten him as an actor and that is when he had to find solace in Bangladeshi films. After giving a few hits there for 3-4 years, Chunkys wife Bhavana told him that his passion and calling will always be Bollywood. He made his comeback with Housefull and is back in the game with a bang. Speaking of his low phase, he said not working or sitting at home can cause one to slip into depression and he managed to keep himself busy with his side businesses of running an event management company and opening up a restaurant. He will next be seen in Jawaani Jaaneman with Saif Ali Khan and Tabu.

Chunky Panday opens up about daughter Ananya Pandays fake university admission controversy

17 Sep 2019

Actor Chunky Pandaya daughter Ananya Panday, who debuted in Bollywood with Student Of The Year 2 , recently found herself amid a rather hurtful controversy when a part of netizens claimed that she was faking her admission at USC. Chunky, in a recent interview, has now opened up on how the entire fiasco affected his daughter psychologically. The actor said that Ananya took it as sportingly as possible but inside, she was shaken. She initially chose to remain silent but he convinced her to speak, since Ananya herself was the only person who could clarify the truth! The incident happened in June this year. In a rather long Instagram post, Ananya also said how the rumours were affecting her family and friends. As Ive stated earlier, I was accepted by Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC for a major in Communication in the Spring 2018 semester. But since I was shooting for my first film and the release date later got pushed, I had to request for a deferral (which means postponing my admission) twice first to Fall 2018 and later to Fall 2019, both of which they gracefully agreed to do. In my case, I could only defer my admission two times so I will not be attending university (for now), since Ive decided to pursue my career in acting, she wrote. While it could have been natural for her to blurt out at those spreading rumours, she chose to send love, peace and positivity their way. The note was accompanied by a photo where she poses with a bunch of documents, one of which reads as the Certificate of Admission. After her debut film, Ananya is now set to appear in Ali Abbas Zafar s action drama Khali Peeli opposite Ishaan Khatter.

Ananya Pandays role was reworked in Student Of The Year 2

15 May 2019

The one certainty that emerges from the mess created in Student Of The Year 2 is the star potential of debutante Ananya Panday who has definitely scored a higher popularity rating than the films other debut-making actress Tara Sutaria. Turns out, Ananyas role was moulded and expanded when she came on board. Says a reliable source, Chunky Pandeys daughters role was nothing much to begin with. It was vaguely sketched confused nervous character. But then Ananya who is actor Chunky Pandeys daughter, came on board. The dynamics of the role changed. The character was re-written, dances and drama were added. While both the leading ladies have been given a raw deal as per the boys knife out combat between Tiger Shroff and Aditya Seal (a la Aamir Khan and Deepak Tijori in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar ) Ananya presence has been redeemed. Says the source, Chunky and his wife Deanne personally requested Karan Johar to do justice to their daughters presence in his production. Hence what was originally a sketchy role became far more persuasive. And where does that leave the films other debutante? Not very far from where she has started. But still, Tara does have a couple of promising films including one with Sidharth Malhotra.On the other hand, Aanaya has chosen her sophomore movie carelessly. Shes going to be in the remake of the B R Chopra comedy on infidelity Pati Patni Aur Woh where she would be a misfit.
