The Twitter world is quite a busy one, and Bollywood contributes a great deal to it. Here's looking at the best star tweets of the day.
The cast for Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder's Joker is all ready. The movie now stars Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade and Minissha Lamba in the lead roles. Darshan Jariwala will play Akshay's whacko father in the movie.
Shirish tweeted: 'Minissha Lamba has been cast as the heroine opposite Shreyas Talpade in JOKER.'
The first schedule of the 3D film is to be shot in Chandigarh. 'First schedule of JOKER to be shot in Chandigarh now. Not Ludhiana. This is due to some practical issues. JOKER has a very unusual premise. Nervous and excited about it,' Shirish tweeted over the weekend.
