Here's how Jacob Smith who played Raj in Kriti Sanon-starrer Mimi was cast in the film

The 4-year-old Jacob Smith who played Kriti Sanon (Mimi)'s son Raj is a Scottish who migrated to Goa with his parents in an attempt to travel the world. The makers of Mimi had been searching for the right face to fit the character. When they saw Jacob they found their Raj in him and selected him for the role. Jacob relocated to the city of dreams, Mumbai and where he was given acting lessons and then only taken to Rajasthan for shooting. Jacob was in the nursery when he was finalized for the role but now he is 5 years old. Jacob's parents were a little apprehensive about letting him enter the showbiz industry. But the makers of Mimi took utmost care of little Jacob and his traveling timetable.

Mimi was initially going to release on 31st July but was preponed to 26th July as the

The Raj Kundra scandal affects Shilpa Shetty's Hungama 2 viewership on Disney+ Hotstar; Nikamma postponed for now

Sources close to the new Priyadarshan comedy Hungama 2 which premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on July 23, are blaming the current scandal in Shilpa Shetty’s life (her entrepreneur husband Raj Kundra’s alleged involvement with adult content) on the poor response to the film. A source very close to the project told me, “It (the Kundra scandal) did affect the film’s performance. There was a campaign on social media to boycott the film. Disney+ Hotstar didn’t take it seriously. Or maybe they just ignored it in the hope that the film won’t get affected. But it did.” Sources say Hungama 2 lost at least 15 percent viewership due to the arrest of Shilpa Shetty’s husband. It is ironical that her comeback to acting after 14 years was meant to be the USP of Hungama 2. Now apparently the team behind Ms Shetty Kundra’s other comeback film Nikamma are running scared. Sources say the film is complete. The producers Sony Pictures were waiting to see how Hungama 2 was received.Now that the verdict
