From Ranveer Singh’s Pralay update to Yash’s Toxic postponement; here’s what all ruled headlines on Wednesday, April 29.

Ranveer Singh and Yash were among the top newsmakers on Wednesday.

Amid reports that Ranveer Singh has quit Pralay, a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller directed by Jai Mehta, it has now been reported that all such allegations are ‘completely baseless’. If a report by Variety India is to be believed, Ranveer and Jai have started working on the project and have finalised the script of the film. Interestingly, this comes at a time when Ranveer Singh has also been making headlines for quitting Don 3. The actor, who is currently enjoying the success of his Dhurandhar franchise, left the movie last year.
