this time they are working in
the upcoming Bangabandhu
biopic film co-produced by
Bangladesh and India titled
'Bangabandhu'.
The work of 'Bangabandhu'
has started a long time ago
and a lot of shooting has
ended in Mumbai under the
direction of a renowned
Bollywood producer Shyam
Benegal. In the film Shuvoo
will be seen playing the lead as

ties the knot
Actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa
tied the knot at the Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa
Resort in Chandigarh on Monday after
being in a relationship for over a decade,

Patralekhaa who belongs to a Bengali

Bengali verse "Aamar poran bhora
bhalobasha aami tomaye shomorpon

Bangladesh. There will be
continuous shooting at

It is learnt that Arifin
Shuvoo will join the shooting
Eternals' is definitely the most trending thing on the globe as we
speak. The negative reviews versus the positive welcome from the
audience is a debate that has caught the attention. Rotten tomatoes
is kind of a war ground now. But while all that exist, the movie is a
magnum opus that has given the Marvel Cinematic Universe a
revamped look like never before. Chloé Zhao with a team including
likes of Angelina Jolie has created a true 'marvel'.
Starring Jolie alongside Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Kit
Harington, Richard Madden, KumailNanjiani, and a few more for
the first time, 'Eternals' tells the story of the celestials who have
been missing from the timeline for a while. The movie travels 7000
years back and we see the creation of these beings and their journey
to earth and task of saving it.
By far the biggest name to enter the MCU, Angelina Jolie, who
makes her Marvel debut, plays 'Thena, the Goddess Of War' in
Chloé Zhao's directorial Eternals. Her character is the most
melancholic one and pressurised under memory as vast as 7000
years. She gets the most heroic of the folklores to her name, but is
helpless and vulnerable in the present. Internet was quick to march
for a standalone Thena movie in no time.
But does Angelina Jolie want a spin-off for Eternals' Thena?
Well, she doesn't. In her latest chat as per reports, she has made it
clear that she wants to work with the entire team of the Chloé Zhao
directorial, which she now calls a family.
"I loved being part of the family, so I have no desire to separate
from the family. But I would be happy to play her again and explore
even more deeply the struggles that she has. I think its fun thinking
of where they've been over the years. We've got thousands of years'
from the first day on
November 20. However,
Faria's schedule is 15 days
later. She will start the
shooting on December 5.
'Bangabandhu' is being built
on the highest budget in the
history of the country. Apart
from Shuvoo-Faria, other
actors in the movie are
NusratImroz Tisha (Fazilatun
Nesa Mujib), Khairul Alam
Sabuj (Lutfar Rahman),
Sabyasachi Mukherjee wrote,
"Congratulations Patralekhaa Paul and
Rajkummar Rao! Classic and beautiful
with personalised details to make it her
own, the bride wears a red tulle
embroidered buti sari paired with an
embroidered veil, that is inscribed with a
Bengali verse penned by Sabyasachi for the
couple to mark their special day."
Rajkummar posted a couple of pictures
from his wedding with Patralekhaa on
Monday and called her his 'everything' -
soulmate, best friend and family. She also
shared photos from the nuptials with a
similar message.
Dilara Zaman (Sahera

World Bangladesh 2018-

Congratulatory messages poured in
from a host of their industry colleagues,
including actors Priyanka Chopra, Varun

and Sonam Kapoor.
After the wedding, Rajkummar and
Patralekhaa had a small wedding
reception, which was attended by Haryana
chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar,
among others. Sharing a picture with the
newlyweds, he wrote, "Attended the
wedding ceremony of Bollywood actors
Rajkumar Rao and Patralekha in
Chandigarh, blessed the bride and groom
for a successful married life."
Jolie not interested
in a solo ‘Thena’
spin-off
worth of material. We can take her anywhere. I think that's fun and
I like the idea that we can pop up somewhere, maybe in other
Marvel movies," Angelina Jolie said.
