Wanted to be a part of Simmba

Actress Priya Prakash varrier, who is gearing up for the release of her forthcoming film Sridevi Bungalow, says she wanted to become a part of Rohit Shetty’s Simmba along with Ranveer Singh.

Popular as the ‘wink girl’, Priya became an overnight sensation with her expressions in the teaser song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from her Malayalam movie Oru Aadar Love.

She said, “There were lots of rumours that I was part of Simmba but I wish that was true because I am a great fan of Ranveer Singh.

‘I am excited to play a lawyer on screen for the first time for my forthcoming film Section 375. Everyone I am working with on this project, I have been a fan of. I love Akshaye Khanna as an actor and his last few outings have been amazing. I am happy to collaborate with director Ajay Behl too.’

Chris, Katherine engaged

Actor Chris Pratt and girlfriend Katherine Schwarzenegger are engaged.

The couple is ready to tie the knot following a whirlwind romance that saw them fall for each other over the summer and spend plenty of quality time with Pratt’s six-year-old son Jack.

“Sweet Katherine, so happy you said ‘yes’. I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go,” he captioned a photo of himself cuddling up to Schwarzenegger, whose engagement ring was visible.

The news has come just two days after Pratt helped Schwarzenegger move from her home.
