For Susanne Bier, the ultimate purpose of Practical Magic 2 extends beyond the story, its supernatural elements or its star-studded cast. The director hopes the film brings audiences together for the kind of communal experience that she believes defines cinema. Bier is particularly passionate about the difference between watching a movie in a theatre and consuming it alone at home. I mean, that is the essence of cinema, and that is why I believe in cinema and why I believe in this movie: watching a movie with other people is an entirely different experience from watching it on your own. For the director, the shared reactions of an audience are an integral part of the cinematic experience. You sit in a room, you share laughter, you share tears, you share a whole lot of things, and you have an experience with other human beings. Bier believes that this collective experience has become even more meaningful at a time when audiences have increasingly easy access to films on personal devices. And watching a movie at home on your computer or even on your phone is the opposite. You can be engaged, but it doesn't have the joy of being with other people doing it. That desire for togetherness is particularly fitting for a film whose central themes revolve around family, sisterhood and love. Throughout her approach to Practical Magic 2, Bier has emphasised that the magic exists to strengthen the human relationships at the heart of the story. Her hope is that those themes translate into an emotional and entertaining theatrical experience. And that's what I hope for with this movie. I want this movie to have lots of people sharing a fun, joyful, at times sad, but most importantly, really engaging experience. That sentiment also encapsulates Bier's broader approach to the sequel. While Practical Magic 2 has the spectacle and supernatural elements audiences expect, the director has deliberately kept its emotional core grounded in human connections. For Bier, the magic works best when it serves those relationshipsand when it gives audiences a reason to laugh, feel and ultimately experience the film together. As the sequel brings Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman and the world of the Owens family back to the big screen, Bier's ambition is therefore not simply to recreate the past, but to create a new shared cinematic memory for both longtime fans and a new generation.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi at home with his family in an intimate gathering. A photograph shared on social media offers a glimpse of the celebration, showing Saif seated on the floor with his sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, fondly known as Jeh, as they participate in the prayer ceremony. The picture also features members of the household staff joining the family with folded hands. The photograph captures a relatively private moment from the festivities, with the family and staff gathered together in the living room. Saif can be seen dressed in a white kurta-pyjama, while Taimur and Jeh are seated nearby during the prayers. The gathering reflects the family's practice of celebrating festivals at home with those around them. Kareena Kapoor also gave fans a glimpse into the family's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations through pictures shared on social media. In one of the photographs, Saif is seen sitting on the floor and working with clay to make an eco-friendly Lord Ganpati idol. Dressed in a white kurta-pyjama, the actor can be seen shaping the clay with his hands. Kareena later shared a picture of the completed idol placed on a wooden surface. She revealed that the idol was made by their younger son Jeh. Sharing the picture, Kareena wrote: Made by my Jeh Baba. Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Ganesh Chaturthi! Saif and Kareena, who got married in 2012, have often spoken about celebrating different festivals with their children. Kareena has previously shared that festivals across faiths are observed at home, with occasions such as Christmas, Diwali and Eid forming part of the family's celebrations. Their festive gatherings have included Christmas lunches, Diwali festivities and Eid celebrations featuring biryani and family get-togethers. On the work front, Kareena Kapoor is set to appear in Daayra, alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is scheduled to release on September 18.

EXCLUSIVE: Gurmeet Choudhary teases fans with cryptic Ganesh Chaturthi post, fuels Tum Mere Ho buzz
Gurmeet Choudhary has shared a cryptic post on the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi, leading to speculation about his next project, tentatively titled Tum Mere Ho. The actor, who has so far kept details about the film under wraps, shared a post related to the festival, prompting fans to wonder whether it could be a hint about the upcoming project. While Gurmeet has not clarified the intent behind the post, its timing has sparked curiosity around his next film. The interest surrounding Gurmeets upcoming project also comes amid his established fan following, built over years of work across television, reality shows, films and OTT. He first gained wider recognition with the 2008 television series Ramayan, where he played Lord Ram opposite Debina Bonnerjee as Sita. He later moved away from the mythological genre with Geet Hui Sabse Parayi, where his portrayal of a romantic lead further strengthened his popularity. He followed it with Punar Vivah, adding to his presence as one of the familiar male faces on Hindi television. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gurmeet Choudhary (@guruchoudhary) Gurmeet also appeared beyond daily soaps through reality television. He participated in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, which he won, and was the first runner-up on Khatron Ke Khiladi 5. He later ventured into films and OTT projects, featuring in titles including Khamoshiyan, Wajah Tum Ho, Paltan and Commander Karan Saxena. Against this backdrop, the speculation around Tum Mere Ho has drawn attention to Gurmeets next career move. Over the years, he has taken on varied roles across different formats, from television dramas and mythological characters to reality shows, films and action-oriented projects. For now, Gurmeet has not officially revealed whether his Ganesh Chaturthi post was connected to Tum Mere Ho. However, the cryptic nature of the post has left fans wondering if the actor is preparing to share an update about his next project.

Neena Gupta says she apologised to Masaba Gupta for growing up without her father: It is my fault
Neena Gupta has spoken openly about raising her daughter Masaba Gupta as a single mother and the choices that shaped their lives. In a recent conversation with Zoom, Neena reflected on Masabas childhood and her experience of growing up without her father, former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, being present in her everyday life. Neena revealed that she has apologised to Masaba over the years for the circumstances of her upbringing. She acknowledged that some decisions made when she was younger had consequences that became clearer with time. I am so honest with her that many times I have said sorry to her that you didn't have a father with you when you were young. It is my fault, but she understands. We all make mistakes. When we are young, our parents tell us certain things and we don't listen. That wisdom comes later, she said. Neena also explained that she made a conscious effort to ensure Masaba learned about her father and their relationship directly from her. Rather than allowing her daughter to hear about the circumstances from others, she chose to have honest conversations with her as she grew older. I made her like her father. I told her why and what had happened as she grew up. So, there was no malice or anger towards me because I told her the truth. It is very important because, rather than her hearing something from outside, I thought it was better that I told her myself. I think that was a very sensible thing that I di, she added. Neena and Vivian Richards welcomed Masaba in 1989. In her autobiography Sach Kahun Toh, the actor had previously spoken about their relationship and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy. Vivian and I had an affair and I got pregnant. He had already returned home when I found out, she recalled. She also remembered telling Richards about her pregnancy and asking whether he would object to her having his child. I'm pregnant, she told him. Would you have a problem if I were to have your baby? According to Neena, Richards told her to go ahead with the pregnancy. The two continued their relationship for a few years despite often living apart. Neena later married chartered accountant Vivek Mehra in 2008. Masaba went on to establish herself in fashion before also entering acting. She married Satyadeep Misra in 2023, with both her parents present at the wedding. On the work front, Neena was most recently seen in Netflixs Chumbak, alongside Deven Bhojani, Arjun Bijlani, Sumeet Raghavan and others. The sitcom revolves around five multigenerational families living in row houses in the fictional Chumbak Colony. The series was created by Aatish Kapadia and Jamnadas JD Majethia.

Director Susanne Bier is stepping into the world of Practical Magic 2 with a clear understanding of what makes the franchise special. For Bier, the opportunity was not simply about revisiting a beloved property, but about creating a big-screen experience rooted in relationships, female themes and emotion. Recalling how she came on board, Bier revealed that the conversation began around Christmas 2024, when she received a call and spoke with stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. I got a call around Christmas of 24. I spoke both to Sandy and to Nicole. We have this project; it can be really fun. Do you want to read? And I was like, Sure, I'd love to read. I mean, I'd love to work with both of you again. And doing a big, cinematic release that is female-driven and is about something that actually is very close to my heart just sounded incredibly tempting. What intrigued me in the first place was actually making a movie with substantial female themes while making something that is fun and sexy and evocative and sad and moving. I don't even need to question that. That's an obvious yes for me. The director was also conscious of the legacy of the 1998 original and the passionate following it developed over the years. Rather than attempting to simply recreate what worked nearly three decades ago, Bier wanted to understand how the story could resonate with audiences today. For me, the main thing is how do you take a story which became incredibly relevant 28 years ago? Because the first movie had an interesting trajectory. When it came out, it was a mystifying movie. And then it gained a huge following and fan base that was really adamant and really devoted. For Bier, the challenge was to bring magic into a contemporary cinematic landscape without allowing it to overshadow the people at the heart of the story. And so, I think what was tricky was how do you merge? There have been a number of movies dealing with magical entities, and you have a whole generation of young women and men who have grown up seeing movies like Harry Potter. How do you tell a story today which has magic, but still stays true to being about human beings? She believes that distinction is central to what makes Practical Magic unique. I mean, Practical Magic is much more about human relation than it actually is about magic. But magic is a fundamental core of it, and the magic serves the human purpose. For Bier, that combination made returning to the franchise an opportunity she could not resist.
