'Screw Dheela': Tiger Shroff to star in Karan Johar's new action entertainer film

Mumbai [India], July 24: Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, on Monday, announced his new action entertainer film 'Screw Dheela'.

Taking to Instagram, the 'Baaghi' actor dropped a special announcement video of the film, which he captioned, "Punches hain tight, Par iska #ScrewDheela hai! Bringing to you an action-packed entertainer - directed by Shashank Khaitan and starring yours truly! Coming soon.."

In the three-minute-long video, Tiger can be seen in a nerdy look, getting punched in the face by goons while trying to explain that he is just a PT teacher, Akhilesh Mishra. Then, the goons bashing him up show him the video of a girl (whose face is in shadows) who calls Tiger 'Johnny'.

This makes the 'Heropanti' actor get into his action avatar and he beats up his tormentors. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, 'Screw Dheela' marks Tiger's second collaboration with Dharma Production after 'Student of the Year 2'. The official announcement of the leading lady and the release date of the film is still awaited. 'Screw Dheela' marks the first ever on-screen collaboration of Tiger with director Shashank Khaitan.

Soon after the 'Heropanti 2' actor shared the announcement video, fans flooded the comment section with heart and fire emoticons. Meanwhile, the 'Flying Jatt' actor, was recently seen in Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Heropanti 2' with Tara Sutaria, which failed to impress the audience at the box office. He will be next seen in 'Ganpath: Part 1' alongside Kriti Sanon.

The film is slated for release on the occasion of Christmas 2022. Apart from that he also has 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' with Akshay Kumar. Shashank Khaitan, on the other hand, is directing Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar starrer upcoming romantic comedy film 'Govinda Naam Mera', as well as Shanaya Kapoor, Lakshya and Gurfateh's upcoming film 'Bedhadak'.

Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg steps down

Mumbai (India), June 07: Meta Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is to step down from the social media company she managed with founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Pritish Bagdi

Her 14-year tenure marks an end to an era, one where Facebook rose into the global collective consciousness and helped drive the fashion industry’s shift to digital.

Sandberg, who will remain on Meta’s board, is credited with monetising Facebook and its offshoots, turning Web traffic into cash.

Many fashion brands have long relied on Facebook and Instagram to boost their e-commerce sales, even direct sales from both channels. With millions of monthly advertisers, Meta was generating 6 billion dollars monthly in 2020.

Sandberg’s near 15 years at Facebook didn’t go without controversies, however, particularly those around privacy and content moderation. A backlash in 2020 saw many fashion companies, including Patagonia and The North Face pause advertising.

Javier Olivan will take over Sandberg’s role of COO.
