Dench, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Leslie Odom
Jr, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley and co-producer Ridley Scott.“The dress code is Indian and the menu will feature biryani, tandoori chicken and kebabs. An Indian playlist is also being put together for the party, which will take place over the weekend,” a source close to the development told Mirror. Sood, whose repertoire boasts of films like The Martian, Deadpool 1 and 2, Designated Survivor and Artemis, has coproduced the film alongside British actor-filmmaker Kenneth Branagh (who is also directing the film), Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg, Mark Gordon, Michael Schaefer and Judy Hofflund.
Ahead of the film’s release, the makers have announced a sequel, titled Death On The Nile, another Agatha Christie adaptation. “The bash doubles up as a celebration of the film’s upcoming Indian release, as well as plans for the sequel,” the source adds. The film released internationally on November 10 and premiered in India at the 48th International Film Festival if India in Goa on Tuesday. For the sequel, Branagh is expected to return as the director and also reprise his role as Christie’s famed Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. According to the source, all concerned parties are yet to sign on the dotted line. The sequel follows Poirot’s Egyptian vacation, where he discovers a murder on the banks of the Nile and a love triangle gone bad.

After Bollywood, Hollywood too is waking up to the force that is Priyanka Chopra. The actor, who has established herself on international shores with the popular show Quantico, will be honoured at Variety’s Annual Power Of Women luncheon that will be held on October 13. The event recognises Hollywood’s most philanthropic women, who have made a difference to their chosen causes. Chopra is joined on the esteemed list by distinguished personalities like Patty Jenkins, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kelly Clarkson and Octavia Spencer.
As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Chopra has championed the cause of rights of refugees and displaced people. Her endeavour recently took her to Jordan where she interacted with Syrian children, whose lives have been affected by the conflict. She has also worked towards creating awareness about child victims of sexual abuse.
Beaming with pride at her daughter’s achievement, Madhu Chopra told mid-day, “This is a huge achievement for Priyanka. As a mother, I think her greatest quality is that she is grounded and never forgets her roots. She accepts these laurels and moves ahead to make India proud.”
