Diljit Dosanjh as Detective Sherdil

Bollywood's multi-talented star Diljit Dosanjh is gearing up to showcase his versatility yet again, this time stepping into the shoes of an eccentric but brilliant investigator in the much-anticipated crime thriller Detective Sherdil. The film's trailer, released earlier this week, has already set social media abuzz with excitement.

The movie features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Diana Penty as Natasha, Boman Irani as the flamboyant billionaire tycoon, along with Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, Sumeet Vyas and rising stars Banita Sandhu and Kashmira Irani in pivotal roles.

The intriguing trailer opens with a shocking murder mystery - a wealthy industrialist (played by Boman Irani) found dead under mysterious circumstances in Budapest. Enter Diljit Dosanjh as Detective Sherdil - an unconventional investigator whose unorthodox methods and sharp instincts make him uniquely qualified to crack complex cases.

Assisting him is Diana Penty's character Natasha, a composed yet razor-sharp professional who complements Sherdil's eccentric brilliance. Together they dive deep into what appears to be a straightforward case but soon unravels into a labyrinth of family secrets, corporate intrigue and shocking betrayals.

Emma Bunton and Mel B 'reunited in South Korea'
Emma Bunton and Mel B reunited in November to take part in a reality TV show. The 49-year-old pop star and Mel secretly flew to Seoul, South Korea, in late 2024, when they sang alongside K-pop idols for a TV show. A source told The Sun newspaper: "A Spice Girls reunion is a way off. "So having Emma and Mel back on stage singing a Spice Girls song together might be the closest fans get to a comeback, even though it will be with K-pop stars rather than Geri Horner, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham. "They flew to South Korea at the end of last year and were on set for quite a few days as they battled it out with other pop veterans. "With them alone on board, it is a big show. But there’s also Boy George and loads of other chart-topping stars, which will be enough to encourage people to tune in." The reality show will air on Apple TV and will also feature the likes of Megan Thee Stallion and Psy, the 'Gangnam Style' singer. Meanwhile, Melanie recently revealed that she's ready to "start planning" a Spice Girls reunion. The 51-year-old singer would love to reunite with her bandmates to mark the 30th anniversary of 'Wannabe', the group's 1996 hit single. Melanie told Rebecca Judd On Apple Music 1: "There has to be something befitting of 30 years since ‘Wannabe’. "Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl. We all feel like that, but we now are getting together because we know if we're going to do anything, we have to start planning things to get things right. "We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed."
