“I will dedicate a large part of my earnings”: Kangana Ranaut pledges support towards Cauvery Calling initiative “I will dedicate a large part of my earnings”: Kangana Ranaut pledges support towards Cauvery Calling initiative Kangana Ranaut has always been an ardent supporter of environmental causes and social issues. From encouraging local weavers and craftsmen to spreading awareness over single-use plastic, the actress has been walking the talk. Kangana has now pledged her support towards Cauvery Calling, a campaign by Sadhguru's Isha Foundation to revitalize the river and increase forest cover. Cauvery Calling is a 12-year programme which aims at planting as many as 242 crore trees, which will subsequently increase water retention in the basin and revitalize the river. Speaking about why she has decided to back the initiative, Ms Ranaut said, “The rivers that are our lifeline are ceasing to exist. The drought in Chennai became a global issue. Leonardo Di Caprio was concerned about it even though he is in the US. Don't you think I will die of shame if I have no concern about what is happening in my country?" Apart from spreading awareness, the actress is also planning to organize activities to make sure the campaign is a success and has even decided to donate a substantial portion of her earnings towards the initiative, “Each of us needs to donate only Rs 42 for a sapling every year and the volunteers of Isha Foundation will plant them. Our population stands at 1.3 billion. Imagine the green belt we can have if each of us donates for a sapling! My sister Rangoli said that she will support this cause so that her son, Prithvi, grows up in a greener world. My appeal to everybody is to think of the next generation and come forward to help this cause. I will dedicate a large part of my earnings to the cause."

Why is Mission Mangal not getting tax exemption? Why is Mission Mangal not getting tax exemption? In spite of its blatant jingoism, unabashed nationalism and a pronounced message on women’s empowerment—all powerful tenets of the ruling government—why has Jagan Shakti’s Mission Mangal not being given tax exemption in any state so far? Apparently no one from the film’s producers’ Fox Star or Akshay Kumar, has even approached any section of PM Modi’s government for an entertainment tax exemption. “As far we can see Mission Mangal can very easily get an entertainment-tax exemption in several states, as it ticks all the politically correct boxes. I don’t see anyone making an effort in that direction. Fox-Star seems very busy collecting the profits. Akshay who is a primary producer along with director R Balki, doesn’t want to be accused of currying favour from the Government,” says the source. It’s a pity that this jingoistic entertainer is not being made accessible to a much larger audience merely because the people behind it are too lazy to try for a tax exemption. Quite recently the Anand Kumar bio-pic Super 30 benefited tremendously from acquiring a tax exemption from several states. One wonders why the Mission Mangal director Jagan Shakti has been completely obliterated from all the pre- and post-release brouhaha accompanying Mission Mangal. Why is Jagan not being allowed to celebrate the success of his directorial debut? Those from the film’s team who brag about giving women a front seat in Mission Mangal must explain why the director is being marginalized.

Exclusive: With Inshallah on hold will Sanjay Leela Bhansali bear the brunt of pre-production expenses which runs to over Rs. 15 crores? Exclusive: With Inshallah on hold will Sanjay Leela Bhansali bear the brunt of pre-production expenses which runs to over Rs. 15 crores? When Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to put on hold his love story, Inshallah on Monday, starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt, his decision left many stunned, apparently, including his own team. The reason being, pre-production work had not only started on the movie but a massive set, worth crores, had also been constructed at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. Alia had shot for a song for three days on the set and Salman was to join her this week. With Inshallah on hold till the fate of the movie is decided by Bhansali himself, the production costs seem will be skyrocketing, which include the salaries and fees of this involved in pre-production, construction of set, location charges in India and USA. The story of Inshallah revolves around the romance between US-based Muslim tycoon in love with small-town girl and aspiring actress from North India. A trade source says, “Inshallah was a Sanjay Leela Bhansali Production. It’s said that the filmmaker has paid out of his pocket the pre-production expenses till now as no studio is on board the project as yet. Apparently, Salman had offered to take over the production reins and offered to fund the film in total but while discussions were still on, the project fell apart. But pre-production expenses have cost the filmmaker even before the project started and if rumours are to be believed, he has apparently, shelled out almost Rs. 15 crore from his own pocket. He started the movie more than a year ago and apart from investing in the shoot, money was spent on pre-production, the salaries of every department and part of Team Inshallah. Bhansali has to pay those off too.” The source adds that Bhansali had blocked Mehboob Studio in Bandra for the month of August. “He’s known to shoot in complete privacy and didn’t like people taking pictures on their cell phones and leaking out the look of the film so he preferred to block the full studio which is why news of the shoot didn't reach many years. Blocking a studio for so long would cost almost a crore as he had taken over the entire studio. Alia was also paid a signing amount and her song (which featured Salman this week) was shot on a grand set for three days a few days ago. The filmmaker is known to shoot on sets worth crores. The team was to go to Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar after that to shoot Alia’s character and then fly to Orlando and the beaches of Miami for Salman’s scenes. Other actors too had been finalised for the film and they had been paid their signing amounts, so yes money had been invested in Inshallah before it properly rolled. If the filmmaker did pay out of his pocket amount, he would be at a loss today, unless the film rolls again.” Also Read: Will Shah Rukh Khan step into Salman Khan’s place for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah? https://ift.tt/32edYms

Bard Of Blood: Emraan Hashmi says he got engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand Bard Of Blood: Emraan Hashmi says he got engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand Acting for many is largely about learning - be it learning a new language, immersing yourself into your character’s personality. For actor Emraan Hashmi, who plays Kabir Anand, a spy and intelligence officer in Netflix’s upcoming espionage thriller Bard of Blood, it was all this and more. This is the first time in his career that Emraan is playing an out-and-out action role-- the role of a spy fighting behind the scenes for the safety of his own men and, along the way, how he addresses some of his own unfinished business. Based on a book of the same name by Bilal Siddiqui, Bard of Blood follows Kabir, an erstwhile hostage rescue specialist, formerly a part of the Indian intelligence, as he races against time on a mission to save his country. Especially after reading the book, Emraan was determined to take up all the challenges that came across to do full justice to the character of Kabir Anand. When asked about his relationship with the book and the series, Emraan Hashmi said, “I had launched Bilal’s book almost five years ago. I read the book after the launch, at that time it wasn’t sanctioned for a Netflix show, later it was. The cherry on the top was that I was cast as Kabir Anand. I started liking the book back then when I was reading it and was engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand .” To essay this character, Emraan had to prepare both physically and mentally to accurately portray the role of a spy. He had to delve deep into the discipline that goes into learning the body language of an intelligence agent. From something as complex as learning new and varied action sequences to something as simple as holding a gun in the correct manner, he had to train for everything in the quest for perfection. Veteran stunt director Ryan Sturz (of ‘Captain Marvel’, ‘Den of Thieves’, ‘Logan’ fame) directed the action sequences of Bard of Blood. He was meticulous when it came to the kind of guns and props that were used in the show. He ensured that Emraan learned how to correctly hold different types of guns and how to fire each one of them, of course, while keeping the actor’s safety in mind. Emraan’s dedication and hard work has shone through in every frame of Bard of Blood, which will leave the audience wanting more. The show will be launched on the 27th of September, 2019 only on Netflix. All episodes of the series will be launched at the same time exclusively on Netflix to 151 million users across 190 countries.

10 Love duets that became anthems for debutant stars 10 Love duets that became anthems for debutant stars It has been a tradition for decades now: when a new lead pair starts out together, they usually begin with a romantic film—and a musical one at that. Oftener than not, the album driver is a romantic duet—at least one—that propels their popularity and—if the film is a hit—their stardom. The trend of sorts with Bobby in 1973 and went all the way to Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai in 2000. After this came a lull as we simply missed such love anthems for the many newer actors who came in since in pairs. However, this now age-old custom may get a fillip if the song from Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas—its title-track by Arijit Singh and Parampara—does the requisite numbers in an era when success is measured differently and digitally. Here are 10 love duets that became anthems for major stars in their films. Most of them also remain “Signature Tunes” (the first song thought of when an artiste comes to mind). 1. ‘Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho’ (Bobby): To say that this peppy love duet created a national sensation would be an understatement. Anand Bakshi’s naughty lines in the innocent early seventies was just that much bold to be on the right side of propriety,with a ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ kind of twist in the words of the question-answer mukhda, 20 years before it! Shailendra Singh was instantly identified as the voice of Rishi Kapoor, and Lata Mangeshkar, reuniting with Raj Kapoor after almost a decade, sounded as young as the teenage Dimple Kapadia. The film had an all-hit Laxmikant-Pyarelal score that contributed hugely to its mammoth success, with three duets filmed on the lead pair, and later ‘Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate’ became an equal rage. These songs consolidated the Teenage Icon label on Rishi Kapoor. 2. ‘Dekho Maine Dekha Hai’ (Love Story): Amit Kumar, who had been shortlisted for Bobby, got a major break when Rajendra Kumar cast him as son Kumar Gaurav’s first voice. Here again, it was Lata Mangeshkar for the young heroine, Vijayta Pandit, and Bakshi was again there, writing the catchy lines. Later, ‘Yaad Aa Rahi Hai’ became more celebrated, but unlike with Bobby, Kumar Gaurav, until he faded out, did support Amit Kumar and they went on to do more films, especially under R.D. Burman. And Amit’s voice perfectly fitted the sober youth of the hero. 3. ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’ (Ek Duuje Ke Liye): This was a humdinger that made Raag Shivranjani famous for over a decade in Hindi films, thanks to its distinct pitching. S.P. Balasubramaniam and Lata Mangeshkar (again) sang three duets, including the title-song. The all-hit score was brilliant, and this song towered above them all. In the 1980s, whatever Laxmikant-Pyarelal did, other composers followed, and SPB was thus associated with Kamal Haasan in later films as well. But he remained essentially the voice of Kamal and Rajinikanth till Maine Pyar Kiya at the end of the decade. 4. ‘Jab Hum Jawan Honge’ (Betaab): Dharmendra, in his own words, would have loved Mohammed Rafi to be the first voice of his son Sunny Deol. But Rafi was no longer around, and Shabbir Kumar was making waves, having recorded for Amitabh Bachchan in Coolie and Anil Kapoor in Woh 7 Din. And so, R.D. Burman, for once, went the Rafi way and with Anand Bakshi’s fab words, fashioned an all-hit Rafi-ian score. Lata Mangeshkar, too, was omnipresent, but Shabbir became, for a long while, the preferred voice of this tough hero with the soft face and heart. 5. ‘Tu Mera Jaanu Hai’ (Hero): The Laxmikant-Pyarelal-Anand Bakshi score not only created the hype for the new hero Jackie Shroff and the one-flop-old nonentity Meenakshi Seshadri, but also made the film sail through the initial two weeks when it opened and remained dull. Later, Hero was to emerge as 1983’s biggest blockbuster, with the music giving a new lease of life to singer Manhar and consolidating big-time for Anuradha Paudwal. Manhar and Jackie became an enduring team for a decade and more, and the music, with its other chartbusters including ‘Lambi Judaai’ an all-time perennial. Manhar’s deeply sonorous and intense voice was the perfect match for the tough Greek God hero. 6. ‘Ae Mere Humsafar’ (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak): The instant chartbuster may have been ‘Papa Kehte Hain’ but there were three Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik duets in the film and from these, the placid ‘Ae Mere Humsafar’ was the popular winner. Udit Narayan was established as the prime voice of Aamir Khan, and Alka Yagnik, inexorably almost, rose to the top among the female voices of the post-Lata generation. This time, an even more senior lyricist called the young shots—Majrooh Sultanpuri—working with young composers Anand-Milind. Somewhere, Aamir’s fiercely individualistic and ambitious streak was both inspired by and connected to his music here, and Uduit and Alka became the preferred singers for the two young stars. 7. ‘Dil Deewana’ (Maine Pyar Kiya): S.P. Balasubramaniam finally made a mark as the voice of a Mumbai star in this Salman Khan-Bhagyashree launch. Lata Mangeshkar was the “vocal and very young” heroine, and another veteran lyricist, Asad Bhopali, wrote the peppy songs, with Dev Kohli coming in for a couple of them. Raamlaxman composed the epic score. Salman Khan’s initially languorous lover-boy image probably had a lot to do with SPB’s mellifluous and placid voice that endured for at least six more films for him, including Love, Saajan, Patthar Ke Phool and Hum Aapke Hain Koun!... . 8. ‘Jaan-E-Jigar Jaaneman’ (Aashiqui): This Nadeem-Shravan-Sameer creation led the other songs on the popularity charts initially in this all-hit-and-many-duets score, while ‘Nazar Ke Saamne’ won the longevity race. It was no fault of the composers or lyricists that lead pair Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal did not make it, but this music created history and established Kumar Sanu as the new super-voice. Anuradha Paudwal improved upon her ‘80s success as the first young viable substitute for the Mangeshkars. And for the record, Sanu remained the voice of Rahul Roy in some more films and the musical telefilm Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Ayee. 9. ‘Dheere Dheere Pyar Ko Badhaana Hai’ (Phool Aur Kaante): Nadeem-Shravan and Sameer with their favourite pair of Sanu-Alka created a fluid duet for Ajay Devgn and Madhoo in their debut super-hit. The other songs did well too. Madhoo did not have a great career, and it was left to Sanu to remain Ajay Devgn’s prime voice for a long time. 10. ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ (Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai): Udit Narayan’s effervescence and Alka Yagnik’s ebullience seemed tailor-made for the vibrant and uninhibited newbie pair of Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel. A mood composition with perfect orchestration and lyrics by Ibrahim Ashq set to rollicking music from Hrithik’s uncle Rajesh Roshan helped the dream debut in this super-hit album. Though four voices were tried out for Hrithik in this film, it was Udit’s young tenor that helped established Hrithik’s persona as a bright, youthful hero. https://ift.tt/345OMAg

Watch: Chunky Panday open up on how Sajid Khan’s absence affected the cast of Housefull 4 Watch: Chunky Panday open up on how Sajid Khan’s absence affected the cast of Housefull 4 The multi-starrer Housefull 4 is all set to hit screen this Diwali, though there still is a while before the film releases, the cast have already begun promotions. Talking about Housefull 4 and what it was like filming the same, Chunky Panday who has become synonymous with the character of Aakhri Pasta was recently in conversation with Bollywood Hungama talking about the film. But what caught our attention was the revelation of how Sajid Khan’s absence from the film affected the cast. Revealing how the cast reacted after the inclusion of Sajid Khan’s name in the #MeToo movement and his subsequent ouster from film Chunky Panday added, “It was tough. I think loosing Sajid Khan was the thing that hurt everyone, because it was his baby, he had written this. But hats off to Sajid Nadiadwala that he could pull it off, I think any other producer with that kind of pressure would have folded. We had three big sets standing you have lost one lead actor Nana Patekar, and you have just those two months to complete the film, hats off to him. It was tough, but then nothing is easy in life.” As for the film, Housefull 4 is directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

VIDEO: Saaho actor Chunky Panday narrates an incident when everyone on Kalank set failed to recognize him VIDEO: Saaho actor Chunky Panday narrates an incident when everyone on Kalank set failed to recognize him Chunky Panday is starring in several projects this year starting with Prabhas starrer Saaho, followed by Sanjay Dutt’s Prasthanam and Housefull 4. With Saaho, the actor is diving into the role of a villain. Recently, Chunky Panday spoke to Bollywood Hungama and talked about the time when he had transformed into his character Devraj, visited the sets of the Kalank and no one recognized him. "When I got this film, this was two years ago, then my film Begum Jaan had released. Director Sujeeth calls me and says, 'I've watched your film Begum Jaan. I want to cast you as the villain opposite Prabhas'. I said, 'With Baahubali?' I said, 'Are you sure?' He said, 'I'm very very sure that you will only do this role.' I said, 'What have you thought about me? How am I gonna look?' He said, 'I want you to look completely silver-grey.' Then, we went to the salon and I went bald for the role. He kept my hair very buzzed and nice, nicely trimmed beard. When the first poster came out, someone told me 'Gareebon ka George Clooney'. So, I was very excited,” he said. “During the conversation, I asked Sujeeth, 'Why did you think of me?' He said, 'Sir, this is a very complexed character. Complex means he is very complexed from the inside. He is a person who has died a hundred times from the inside. I need to show that in his eyes. I said, 'Are you sure I have that look?' He said, 'Yes! I am very sure you have that deadpan look and you can give that look.' For the first time in my life, I have tried to get into the skin of the character. Normally, whenever I am on the set, I am laughing and having fun with everyone. I am always joking and stuff. But, in this film, we did the entire shooting at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Everyone spoke in Telugu. The only people who spoke English were the director and the cameraman. Every co-star of mine was from the South so I didn't have anyone to talk to. And I said, 'Let's become this character',” Chunky added. He further said, “Since Hyderabad wasn't close and I couldn't socialize, whenever I would go to Ramoji Filmcity, I used to become Devraj. I used to be short-tempered, irritable and I actually grew into that character. I really enjoyed doing Devraj. In fact, I got into this character so much that I went to the Kalank set in my entire costume as for the last schedule Kalank shooting was happening next to our set. And I swear, for 10 mins, nobody recognized me on the set. They just didn't know it was me. People were shocked to see me. You know when you manage to achieve that, it's a lot of fun.” Saaho, directed by Sujeeth, starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor is set to release on August 30, 2019.

"Save Indian Cinema"- Kamini Dube "Save Indian Cinema"- Kamini Dube An eminent female personality of India & one of the producers of nationalistic film Rashtraputra and Aham Brahmasmi, the first mainstream Sanskrit film of World Cinema, Kamini Dube addressed media about the decline of Indian Cinema that it is high time to think and act for the survival of Indian Film Industry. The bitter truth is that Indian Film industry especially the Hindi film industry is dying. Kamini Dube, who has started her cinematic journey internationally with the legendary film company The Bombay Talkies Studios to create woman empowerment through her creative commitments. She is the only lady producer from Asia who created the history for Indian Cinema to showcase the revolutionary epic Rashtraputra at Cannes International Film Festival on May 21, 2019 which is written, directed and acted by military school alumnus Aazaad. Kamini Dube encourages the real thought of ancient culture to leave the mark on people to rejuvenate the long lost language Sanskrit. She wishes to nourish the root of human existence by evoking the eternal essence through her forthcoming venture Aham Brahmasmi, which is the first mainstream feature film in Sanskrit. Sharing her opinion and providing a solution for the deep rooted problem she said, “All the associations associated with the film industry should take notice and do the needful to secure the release of any film because their members are associated with the films. It is very difficult for a single producer to release his or her film in a proper manner. All the aspects of releasing from PR Publicity to RO, It’s so expensive and sky high that the producer feels like a scapegoat. Thousands of films are waiting to see the light of the day but no buyer, no distributer, no exhibiter is interested to release the films. Films are being made without any concrete and safe future for the sake of ailing producers, I myself going to establish a trust/foundation to do the needful for the release of needy films without taking any profit. I hereby invite all the associations to come forward and join the mission ‘Save The Film Industry’. Kamini Dube said personally she doesn’t have these types of extreme problems as she is associated with the legendary film company, The Bombay Talkies Studios but she has a deep concern for the producers in general who has everything on stake. If the film industry is the family, then all the associations should come together to properly release a film and save the suffering industry. Industry is not limited to merely seven or eight characters or production houses. The multiplex system is ruining the films as they are only interested in selling cokes and samosas rather than films. As the multiplexes are established and created with the help of the government, according to the rules and regulations to support the film industry, with subsidy or rebate on different type of taxes. The multiplexes should remember their legal, logical and ethical role towards the industry and the concept of co-existence. https://ift.tt/32dSDJE

Watch: Chunky Panday reveals the inspiration behind his Housefull character Aakhri Pasta! Watch: Chunky Panday reveals the inspiration behind his Housefull character Aakhri Pasta! The fourth instalment in the Housefull franchise has been making headlines for a while now. But the film has been facing multiple issues since its announcement. But, despite the hurdles the makers of Housefull 4, Sajid Nadiadwala has managed to continue with the project. Though currently Housefull 4 is still a long way from release, Chunky Panday, who has breathed life into the character of Aakhri Pasta, was in conversation with Bollywood Hungama, wherein he revealed the secret behind the character and where it was inspired from. Talking about the inspiration to develop a character like Aakhri Pasta, Chunky Panday revealed, “The secret behind Aakhri Pasta was that in Housefull 1, Sajid Khan was to do this role himself. Everyone told him, 'Sajid you have to do this role', and then he met me at this party and said to me, 'Chunky I have got this role, people want me to do it in the film, I can’t direct and act, will you do it?' I said of course. And that is how Aakhri Pasta was born. The name came from Akhree Raasta (1986), Amitji's (Amitabh Bachchan) film, and the character of Marconi from the film The Great Gambler that was played by Sujit Kumarji, so we took him as an inspiration, his clothes, that moustache, and created Aakhri Pasta.” Further revealing another detail about the character Chunky added, “Somewhere, Aakhri Pasta was Sajid Khan's alter ego. What Sajid couldn’t do in real life, he would make Aakhri Pasta do on screen.” While it was certainly interesting to know the genesis of Chunky’s character, fans of the Housefull franchise are currently eagerly awaiting the film’s release. Directed by Farhad Samji Housefull 4 that features an ensemble cast is slated for release in Diwali 2019.

Exclusive: Will Shah Rukh Khan step into Salman Khan’s place for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah? Exclusive: Will Shah Rukh Khan step into Salman Khan’s place for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah? While it has been speculated that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah has been shelved so he had initiated talks with Shah Rukh Khan, we have heard that the movie is very much on. The filmmaker is toying with the idea of which to do with SRK – Inshallah or Izhaar, as both are love stories. He and Shah Rukh were in talks for Izhaar being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Bhansali Productions but now that may happen later. If SRK and the filmmaker do Inshallah, it will also mean Alia Bhatt re-uniting again with her Dear Zindagi (2016) co-star. A trade source says, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to invest not just his time and money on his films but his blood, sweat and passion. He is invested emotionally in his movies so it is difficult to envisage that he would shelve Inshallah, on which he has been working on for more than a year. All locations in north India and USA have been confirmed, dates locked, and pre-prod complete with Alia Bhatt, to shoot a song from this week. Imagine how heart-broken he must be today - as he was preparing to shoot the movie, from this week, it was announced that Salman and he had parted ways. Inshallah is a beautiful love story between a young girl (Alia) and a businessman (earlier played by Salman) and something which is completely different to what his earlier films have been. SLB was like a young child again working on the project with love, commitment and passion so how will he just let it go at this stage?” The source says that when the filmmaker decides to make a movie, he completes it. “He wanted to do Bajirao Mastani with Kareena Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan a decade ago. It didn’t happen then but later he made it with Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh. Shah Rukh and SLB haven’t worked together after Devdas and have been in talks for Izhaar. But buzz is that, now SLB is keen that Shah Rukh steps into Salman’s shoes for Inshallah and is in talks with him for the same. It’s all under wraps right now and will take time for an announcement to happen. SRK and Alia have worked together in Dear Zindagi and look great together on screen. There was no love story in Dear Zindagi between them so it would be interesting to see what happens if Shah Rukh and Alia appear together on screen again. One can expect fireworks for sure. Shah hasn’t announced any movie till now but he is expected to make two big announcements soon once everything gets finalised – possibly Raj Kumar Hirani’s next and if all goes well, then Inshallah.” In the meantime, there’s also talk that the filmmaker’s favourite actor Ranveer Singh may rush to his rescue and do another film with him. “But while Ranveer and SLB would love to work together again, the logistics look a bit tough right now as the star’s dates are locked for Yash Raj Films' next, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, where he plays a Gujarati. The movie is directed by debutant writer-director Divyang Thakkar and produced by Maneesh Sharm and is expected to go on floors from October, once Kabir Khan’s ‘83 is complete. Also, Salman was playing an older man in Inshallah and with Ranveer doing it; the script would need to be tweaked. Shah Rukh suits the role in Inshallah to perfection as the suave, stylish tycoon from US and the script and screenplay is ready.” The source adds that as SRK and SLB had worked together in Devdas (2002), they have always shared a warm and cordial association. "Now it remains to be seen whether Sanjay Leela Bhansali will direct Izhaar or Inshallah with the super star, if everything goes well.” Also Read: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah won’t be shelved https://ift.tt/2LcZdJB

Sonam Kapoor explains why she will sport only red outfits during The Zoya Factor promotions Sonam Kapoor explains why she will sport only red outfits during The Zoya Factor promotions In keeping with the premise of The Zoya Factor that deals with superstitions, Sonam Kapoor is following a quirk of her own -- starting with the trailer launch today, the actor will be seen sporting only red outfits at the promotions. “It was my idea to wear red at the promotions," smiles Kapoor, happy to imbibe the spirit of her character Zoya Solanki off-screen as well. “I wanted to do full justice to the story and my role. I thought this was the best way to introduce viewers to the eccentricities of Zoya. The Zoya Factor is about the titular character being considered a good luck charm for India's cricket team at the World Cup. So why not go about the promotions the Zoya way? Also, red is considered an auspicious colour. We're going the extra mile to make sure that luck is on our side too.” The Abhishek Sharma-directed film, based on Anuja Chauhan's bestseller by the same name, promises to be one of those rare, feel-good chick flicks that Bollywood is starved of. It won't even be wrong to credit Kapoor for bringing the genre into the mainstream with her 2010 outing, Aisha. With Khoobsurat (2014) and Veere Di Wedding (2018) becoming box-office successes, she has become the unofficial champion of the genre. “This genre makes you laugh, feel and empathize with the characters, and also enjoys maximum repeat audiences. With its massive commercial prospects, it cannot be under-appreciated for too long,” reasons the actor, adding that the category helps female actors in being heard. “It provides for women to have prominent roles and showcase their perspective, which is sometimes not that well understood. That's most important." The Zoya Factor is an unusual story of Zoya Solanki who's an advertising agent becoming a lucky charm for the Indian cricket team when she chances upon meeting the captain of the team Nikhil Khoda aka Dulquer Salmaan and how it starts raining luck ever since then! The film is slated to release on 20th September 2019. ALSO READ: The Zoya Factor: Here’s why Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan postponed the trailer launch https://ift.tt/2ZquCCs

Chunky Panday gained 5 kgs every time he went to Hyderabad; credits Prabhas’s hospitality Chunky Panday gained 5 kgs every time he went to Hyderabad; credits Prabhas’s hospitality Actor Chunky Panday will soon be seen in the upcoming film Saaho, in which he will be playing a grey character. Chunky Panday was offered the role two years ago. Sujeeth, the director of Saaho had approached the actor after watching him play the negative character in the Hindi film Begum Jaan. Prabhas plays the male protagonist in the film. Chunky Panday in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama spoke about his co-star Prabhas and his experience shooting in Hyderabad. Chunky Panday is all praise for Prabhas’ hospitality. When they were filming in Hyderabad, the actor’s chef would make food for all. “Every time I went to Hyderabad, I gained 5 kgs. Prabhas’ chef would come in the morning and ask everyone what they want to eat. There would be 4-5 types of biryani each day,” Chunky said. Revealing a unique feature of Prabhas, Chunky said, “Prabhas would stay in the set the whole day except for an hour during lunch. He would spend time on the sets talking or watching others even if he is not required in the scene.” Watch the entire segment here: Chunky Panday plays a complex grey character, who the actor said has “died several times within”. Directed by Sujeeth, Saaho also features Shraddha Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, and Mahesh Manjrekar among others. The film is scheduled to release on August 30. https://ift.tt/2ZvXubC

Watch: Chunky Panday reveals why this year is a Bahubali year for him Watch: Chunky Panday reveals why this year is a Bahubali year for him Chunky Panday is gearing up for a packed year ahead, and is currently busy shooting for multiple projects. Interestingly, the actor will be seen playing rather different roles in each of his projects and is pretty happy about the variety. Talking about his year ahead, Chunky was in conversation with Bollywood Hungama wherein he explained why this year is a ‘Bahubali’ year for him. Explaining his statement about the year being a ‘Bahubali’ year Chunky Panday added, “For me this is the year of Bahubali. This is Chunky Panday's Bahubali year. Why? Because I am doing Saaho with Prabhas, I am doing Housefull 4 with Rana. And it is so opposite the spectrum, because what I am doing with Prabhas and what I am doing with Rana is like chalk and cheese. It is out and out comedy with Rana and it is out and out lethal revenge with Prabhas. So for me it is fantastic that I got an opportunity in the same year to work with both these boys and showcase what I am capable of doing.” While Chunky Panday’s reasoning is certainly sound, we think there is year another reason for the actor to call this a Bahubali year, especially since he has three films lined up, starting with Saaho, followed by Prasthanam and ending with Housefull 4.

VIDEO: Here’s why Chunky Panday was called Gareebon ka George Clooney VIDEO: Here’s why Chunky Panday was called Gareebon ka George Clooney Chunky Panday is on a roll with back-to-back films this year. He will be seen in Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho, Prasthanam, Akshay Kumar starrer Housefull 4, and will also be seen playing a pivotal role in Saif Ali Khan starrer Jawaani Jaaneman. He was last seen in Begum Jaan with Vidya Balan and his role as a villain was highly appreciated in the film. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Chunky recalled the time he was addressed as Gareebon ka George Clooney. He said, “I had received a call from the south director, Sujeeth, about two years ago when Begum Jaan had released. He told me that he saw my work and said that he wanted to cast me as the villain in a film opposite Prabhas. I was thrilled and asked him if he was sure, Sujeeth reassured me that he wanted me to play this complex character. So, when the first poster came out, somebody called me Gareebon ka George Clooney and I was very excited about that! So this is the first time that I’ve tried to get into the skin of a character because I needed to express those emotions perfectly.” Take a look at the entire segment. Saaho is slated to release on August 30. Also Read: Chunky Panday gives an ominous look in the first look poster of Saaho https://ift.tt/2MHlOkW

EXCLUSIVE: “Salman Khan returns the money when his films flop as distributors can GO bankrupt with just one movie” – Farah Khan EXCLUSIVE: “Salman Khan returns the money when his films flop as distributors can GO bankrupt with just one movie” – Farah Khan She is bindaas and talking to her is always fun, just like her films. At the Big Cine Expo 2019, the choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan was in her element completely as she was felicitated by the exhibition sector for her contribution to box office through her directorial ventures. On the dais, she exclaimed how important such an honour is for her and quipped “I’d rather get a packed crowd in a theatre than five-star reviews!” and later also admitting “I am trying for the Rs. 300 crore club”. Later, at a media interaction, she cleverly dodged questions regarding reports of her next film, which is speculated to be the remake of Satte Pe Satta. But about the felicitation, she further stated, “Everyone is running behind the need for critical acclaim. However, exhibitors and distributors are crying. Theatres are empty. I’d rather have the exhibitors giving me an award as it’s an indication that my movies make money for everybody.” Sometime later, in an exclusive interview to Bollywood Hungama, she spoke about this honour and in her trademark style; she made the chat quite fun and engaging. It was also heartening to see that during the interview and even in her speech, she raised concerns about the rising ticket prices, thereby proving that not just with her films, even with her talks, she knows how to connect to the aam junta! You have given four films and all of them have been successful. Even a film like Tees Maar Khan was a hit, despite the word of mouth… Yes Tees Maar Khan has also done very well. It got a lot of thrashing but it made money for everyone. I have no qualms in saying that I want my films to do well pan India. I don’t make films for 5-10 critics or for niche audiences. I watch and enjoy these niche films. But I neither know how to make them nor have the desire to do so. I want that when my film releases, it is nothing short of an event and that whole country would want to go and see it. So for me, this honour is much bigger than getting a Critics award as it means that everyone in the chain made money out of my movie. And my father was a producer. Our childhood was traumatic since his films flopped and hence we became poor. So for me it’s important that nobody should lose money when I make a movie. It’s like a moral responsibility! At the event, we found out that you call exhibitors after your films are out and you ask them whether they made money… So exhibitors spend a lot of money in buying our films. Theatre owners and distributors at times go kangaal if your movie flops. Ghar bik jaate hai logon ke since they bought it at such a high rate. That’s why you hear of stars like Salman Khan who return the money when his films flop because the distributors can go bankrupt with just one movie. So for me it’s always heartening to know that it’s boom time for everybody thanks to my film. Who cares if one or two critics have not liked it! How much does social media play a role in making or more importantly, breaking a film, in your opinion? Every person with a phone is a critic. On social media, random people are giving their critical analysis but it’s talking nothing about the film per se. Hamari country mein gin ke ek ya do critics honge jo picture ko ache se evaluate karte hai like how was it shot, how was the direction, screenplay kaisa tha etc. I just feel that if your content is good and if people want to watch it, it will work. But it is harmful in some ways. Like I was talking to Shahid Kapoor. His film Kabir Singh has done so well. But because it got criticized so badly, I just feel that if he is going to win some award for it, then the organizers might have second thoughts looking at the barrage of criticism that the film got. However, the film enjoyed a great word of mouth and collected Rs. 275 crore. So the criticism really didn’t matter… But it matters to the person who made the movie. When you get a harsh review and when people are not willing to see the business of the film, forget its merit, the one who made it can get affected. We often hear of cinema halls getting shut. The number of screens is very less considering how huge our country is. Our neighbouring country China is on another level in this regard… The government has to help out and I think, the present government will help out because they are having dialogue with those related to movies. It’s the consumers like you and me who have to pay for the pricey tickets. I go to cinemas and I am like ‘Popcorn itna mehenga hai, ticket itni mehengi hai…’ It’s very heartening to see that despite your excellent financial condition at present, you still talk about these things… Yeah. I remember it was a Saturday and I went to see some big film. I was charged 1600 bucks for a single ticket. I was like, what the hell! I was also going for the optimum and premium experience. Still this is too expensive. But what choice do these exhibitors have? Taxes need to be reduced and benefits and concessions have to be given. It’s like restaurants. If government keeps increasing the tax, then ultimately the burden will be passed on to the consumers. With films like Baahubali, 2.0 and Saaho, a new trend has emerged of having films that are either dubbed in Hindi and then released extensively in traditional domestic markets or making them in various languages simultaneously. Would you like to try such kind of a film? You are known for masala and pan-India films and hence, you’ll be apt for such kind of a venture… Yes, why not? But I should have a great script that does justice to actors of both the industry. Otherwise, the fans in South will kill me if I don’t portray their heroes well because they are fanatical about them! But yeah it’s a great idea. I can take one actor from Punjab, one from the South and one from Hindi movies! At one point, you had said that you are going to make a two-girl film… Whenever I say that I want to make a chota movie, people question me that ‘Tu kyun choti picture bana rahi hai? Tu badi picture bana.’ But I think it’s a good problem to have! After making a big movie, I say that I want to make a movie about two people talking in a room, as these event films take a toll. But I hope with my next film, I don’t take such a gap. Yes you shouldn’t… I know but I have kids also. I have a life which is not only about my work. I have three kids and I have a house to run. Hence, I want to enjoy that part of my life also. I never wanted that I am not around when my kids are growing up. Fathers can afford probably because the mother is looking after the kids back home. However, for me, it was important for me to spend quality time with them when they are growing up. And now they are looking forward to me going and shooting. I am going to make them do some jobs on sets. Let them earn some money! Also Read: Farah Khan’s next to release in 2020 end; official announcement next month https://ift.tt/2PjRQFO

Nora Fatehi opens up about the importance to celebrate and respect dancers Nora Fatehi opens up about the importance to celebrate and respect dancers After captivating us with her sensational dance moves, the young, talented and beautiful Nora Fatehi is now leaving an impression on one and all with her acting chops through her recent projects – the action thriller Batla House and the music video ‘Pachtaoge.’ However, while she is earning accolades for her recent acting performances, Nora strongly believes that one needs to even respect and celebrate dancers as there is a lot that goes into doing dance performances too. Making a strong point about why one should give the dancers their dues, Nora passionately said, “Currently, I am shooting for Street Dancer 3D with professional dancers. Dancers, who have sacrificed so many things in life to become professional dancers and one day I just had an epiphany that why don’t we celebrate dancers the way we celebrate actors? Do you know what dancers go through? The way they push themselves to do certain moves which are almost humanly impossible. We had these ballerinas on the sets, who were doing ballerina dance style, while simultaneously doing hip-hop style dance with their upper torso – I was amazed.” Further driving the point home, the talented dancer-actor said, “It must have taken them years to balance like that, half of us can’t balance while we are walking. Dancing is not easy, and there is a lot of blood, sweat, tears, sacrifices that one has to put in to become a dancer. When an actor does a good scene in the movie, everyone goes crazy – ‘OMG he is such an amazing actor.’ Yes, we should respect actors, I am guilty of that too, but what about the dancers? They should be equally respected and valued. Dancers can take you to another world without even speaking and I feel it’s a shame that it’s not even celebrated like that. It’s time to celebrate them.” Meanwhile, on the work front, Nora Fatehi will be next seen in Street Dancer 3D with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor.

Exclusive: Are Rohit Shetty and Reliance in talks with an international Hollywood studio for the remake rights and to co-produce Farah Khan’s Satte Pe Satta? Exclusive: Are Rohit Shetty and Reliance in talks with an international Hollywood studio for the remake rights and to co-produce Farah Khan’s Satte Pe Satta? Rohit Shetty and Farah Khan’s remake of Romu Sippy’s Satta Pe Satta, seems to be finally taking off with Hrithik Roshan in the lead. The original Satte Pe Satta (1982) was produced by Romu Sippy and directed by Raj N Sippy and the remake rights are with Rajesh Vasani, of movie marketing firm, Paras Publicity Services. But apparently, Rohit Shetty Picturez and Reliance Entertainment who are producing remake of Satte Pe Satta, are in talks with Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc for the rights of the Hollywood movie, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers and Vasani has apparently, been ignored in the deal. Says a trade source, “There have been reports that Satte Pe Satta is said to be inspired from the Hollywood musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Reliance Entertainment and Rohit Shetty Picturez started negotiating rights with its right holder Rajesh Vasani to co-produce the film and its diligence was also started by their respective law firms. Later they also simultaneously started talking with Warner Brothers Inc. to acquire the rights of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The copyright for any film comes into the public forum after few years.” The source adds, “When Rohit Shetty wanted to take ahead the series of Golmaal and made Golmaal Again in 2017, they took the title of this franchise from its so-called right holder at a fancy price of approximate Rs. 8.5 cr. Initially the same was negotiated and agreed with Sangeeta Ahir's company ManglMurti Films and for the same she also paid Rohit Shetty a handsome signing amount as a director, which was later adjusted paying back adding her as a co-producer. The Rs. 2.50 cr rights added multi layers and upped the price of Rs. 8.5 cr as they will have to cough up an additional approximate Rs. 2.5 cr for each franchise. Moreover, Golmaal Again was the remake of the 2013 Tamil horror comedy film Soodhu Kavvum, the rights of which was paid separately. This is how Bollywood movies become expensive. They pay for titles and remakes too.” Rajesh Vasani asserted that he had spoken to one of the biggest filmmaker’s to rewrite the remake of Satte Pe Satta and jointly produce this remake. Once it was written, an appropriate director was to be decided by this young writer. Vasani adds, “Anyone can always make the original movie Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, but, no one can use the title Satte Pe Satta. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers doesn’t have the second character of Babu (Amitabh Bachchan) as there was no double role in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, so they can't make it a double role.” Also, the title Satte Pe Satta is registered with the producer's association in the name of its sole right holder, Rajesh Vasani. When Rajesh Vasani started the exercise of remaking Satte Pe Satta, he also had in mind of making the film with Reliance Entertainment as he has trust and faith in the studio and its CEO Shibashish Sarkar and Rohit Shetty, so when this offer came to him, he agreed but later there was no communication from them. When we contacted Denzil Dias at Warner Bros Pictures (India), he said, "No comments at this point of time." We also left the messages to Rohit Shetty, Farah Khan and Shibashish Sarkar (from Reliance) to give their stand on this but none of them reverted and preferred to stay silent mounting the suspense further. Satte Pe Satta revolves around seven unkempt and uncouth brothers (orphans), living on a farmhouse, led by their oldest brother Ravi Anand (Amitabh Bachchan), who are taught manners and etiquette by a nurse Indu (Hema Malini). But everything becomes chaotic when Ravi’s lookalike and impersonator, Babu, turns up. He kidnaps Ravi as part of a plan by somebody (with evil intentions), who has hired him. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini, Satte Pe Satta (1982) featured Sachin, Shakti Kapoor, Paintal, Sudhir, Inderjeet and Vikram Sahu as the rest of the six Anand brothers and Amjad Khan, Ranjeeta Kaur, Sarika, Kanwaljit Singh, Prema Narayan, Mac Mohan and Kalpana Iyer in other roles. The movie is an adaptation of the American musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

20 Years of Baadshah EXCLUSIVE: Abbas-Mustan rubbishes reports that Akshay Kumar was the original choice; calls Shah Rukh Khan ‘Dil Ka Baadshah’ 20 Years of Baadshah EXCLUSIVE: Abbas-Mustan rubbishes reports that Akshay Kumar was the original choice; calls Shah Rukh Khan ‘Dil Ka Baadshah’ They have given some of the biggest films of Bollywood which are consumed by viewers even today on digital and television. But director duo Abbas-Mustan remains as humble and approachable as they were when they started their career in Bollywood in the early 90s. They dabbled in various genres from comedy to thriller to suspense to even romance with many films having tremendous repeat value. But one film that stands out has to be Baadshah. It starred Shah Rukh Khan and Twinkle Khanna in leading roles, along with hordes of talented actors like Johny Lever, Amrish Puri, Rakhee Gulzar, Sharat Saxena, Deepshikha, Prem Chopra, Deepak Tijori, Sachin Khedekar, Pankaj Dheer, Saurabh Shukla, Ananth Narayan Mahadevan etc. The story primarily is of a private detective from Mumbai who gets mixed up in a comedy of errors while on a mission in Goa. Despite the complicated narrative, Abbas-Mustan managed to keep the narrative simple so that it could reach out to viewers pan-India. When approached for an interview, Abbas and Mustan both were unaware that Baadshah is nearing its 20th anniversary but also were humbled to know that it continues to receive so much love. In this Bollywood Hungama exclusive, they open up like never before on the film’s rare trivia, experiences of making this film, why Shah Rukh Khan is irreplaceable and a ‘baadshah’ in real life. Were you aware that it’s Baadshah’s 20th anniversary on August 27? Not at all. Dhyaan mein hi nahin tha! How did the project come about? After Baazigar, we all decided to work together – us, Shah Rukh Khan, the producers. We just had this basic idea that the film should be about a private detective. Very few films had dealt with such a character in the lead then. Shah Rukh liked the concept and suggested we should make it entertaining, even if we have to get into slapstick comedy territory. We didn’t name the film Baadshah after the script was completed. It was the other way round! We had the title registered and then began to think of a story. There was technological advancement even in late 90s and we began to think how to incorporate that and even get a bit imaginative. Tab toh VFX ka zamana hi nahi tha. So it was difficult to show the gadgets used in the film. Also, the scenes where Baadshah’s office is converted into his house and later into an eye hospital were all done without green screen. So we actually erected a set and there were 3 or 4 parts to it. When Baadshah was announced, there was a perception that we both and SRK are making another anti-hero film after Baazigar. Also, the title of both seemed in a similar zone and this further fuelled the perception. But our idea was to make a diametrically different film. We realized that if we add multiple tracks, misunderstandings with a dash of humour, it will make for a great watch. For us, it was very difficult to write these parallel tracks and weave them seamlessly into the narrative. Baadshah remains our most difficult script till date! Would you say it’s even more difficult than Race? Yes, definitely. To add humour along with the misunderstandings and that too 20 years ago was a lot of hard work. Race was also difficult. But Baadshah was a comedy and to make audiences laugh was quite a challenge. There are reports on the internet that the film was delayed a lot. Is that true? What was the reason for the delay? So what happened was that the script was not even fully ready. However, the producers thought of having the mahurat sometime in 1996. So, we shot just the intro casino sequence, which also serves as the entry of Shah Rukh Khan’s character. It was a bit of a random sequence although we knew that it fits well with the basic storyline and Baadshah’s character. Also, in those days, we used to not make films in one go. We’ll shoot the film for around 15 days and then there’ll be a gap of anything between a fortnight and a month, sometimes even more. So as per the availability of Shah Rukh’s dates, we’d shoot. He was then also doing another film for Venus, Josh. So dates got further divided. Apart from these two, he shot for a few more films too. This was very common then. Hence, the delay. Talking of the casino sequence, is it true that Johny Lever shot for it despite his father being quite ill? Yes this is true. Johny Lever seemed a bit upset during the casino sequence shoot as his father was hospitalized. When we found out, we told them that we can postpone the shoot. But he refused, saying that the show must go on. He’s a great man! If you see that sequence, not even once you’d feel that he was going through so much stress as his comic timing is spot on, just like it is every time. There are reports on the internet that Akshay Kumar was signed to play the role of Baadshah… Not at all. Shah Rukh was always the first choice. A popular website even mentions that Shilpa Shetty, Karisma Kapoor, Anupama Verma, Manisha Koirala were approached for the role of Seema, played by Twinkle Khanna and that Sushmita Sen was for the first choice for Rani, ultimately played by Deepshikha... Even this is not true. Twinkle and Deepshikha were the only actors approached for their respective parts. Even Johny Lever, Amrish Puri, Rakhee Gulzar etc were original choices. Baadshah is quite popular with the kids. Another such film that you made was Taarzan: The Wonder Car. Bollywood however rarely make such films that can appeal to the under-adults. Recently, Total Dhamaal was a hit with the children. Do you think more such films should be made? Hollywood always makes a lot of such films... Yes, such films should be made. As directors, we are ready for different kind of genres, including kid-friendly movies. However, the producers should also be open to such films and only then it can materialize. Our own children even today watch Baadshah. A lot of people message us saying that they are watching Baadshah on television and that we should make more such films. We just tell them that we’ll try our best. The producers of Taarzan: The Wonder Car – Baba Films – has told us so many times to make another such film. Some of our writers are even working on such ideas. Tell us about the music of the film. Just like the film, even the songs are popular to this date... Yes, the songs are quite integral and suit the film. The title song had the grandeur and there were two romantic songs, in each half of the film. Then we shot 'Main To Hoon Pagal' in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. This same song is also sung by Shah Rukh Khan and Sharat Saxena when they are confronted by a dog. Let me tell you here that some of the humourous moments were not scripted and were thought of spontaneously on the sets. Initially, we had just written that a dog comes and goes away. But on the set, we then incorporated this part that both SRK and Sharat Saxena get petrified on seeing the dog and the former escapes by singing 'Main To Hoon Pagal'. And Sharat fails to run and gets attacked. Go on... Shah Rukh provided a lot of inputs. Woh kamaal ke actor hain! Whether it’s in humour or serious scenes, he’s too good. Some of the card tricks were actually done by him, after a magician on the set taught him. No graphics or VFX were used. People still see the film and wonder how he managed to do it! He even sang a fast-paced monologue in 'Main To Hoon Pagal' song. Did you guys had to convince him to do it or did he readily agree? No we didn’t have to convince him. He was involved in the script and so he knew that the 'Main To Hoon Pagal' song requires him to record this part. Which is your most favourite scene of the film? The entire sequence of the airport to the madness that happens in the flight is our favourite part of the film. We also particularly love the part where Prem Chopra calls Shah Rukh, assuming that the latter is that their man. The conversation they have and the misunderstanding that occurs comes out very nicely. Also the shot where Shah Rukh is humming ‘Samose Mein Aloo’ in the flight and even the scene where SRK changes the glasses with his theory were again all spontaneously done by SRK. And it is sync with his detective’s character too. Detectives are supposed to be smart. Shah Rukh not only brought that aspect to the fore but he also made it so entertaining and funny. Have you ever thought of a sequel to Baadshah? The subject has potential and moreover, it’s quite popular... If we get a subject which is in the same league with misunderstandings and humour galore, then we are of course ready. But it has to be one level up and that itself is quite a challenge. Also, the producers – Venus – are like family. We have done seven films with them. They give us free hand. But we don’t want to make a film for the heck of it. So if a writer comes up with a perfect script, only think we can think of a sequel. In some of the funny dialogues, names of popular figures and brands have been used for comic effect like Lokhandwala, Bata, Manikchand etc. In the end, Johny Lever gets a call from then US President Bill Clinton, offering $1,000,000 for assistance with the ‘Monica Case’! When Johny Lever hears the name of Gayatri Bachchan (Rakhee Gulzar), he assumes that Amitabh Bachchan got married for the second time! Were there any apprehensions that the film can get into trouble due to these references? 2 years ago, Bata had sued Jolly LLB 2. In today’s times, these dialogues could have been problematic... These references were added for the sake of humour and were not meant as an offence. Also, social media was non-existent then while media was also not so big. Our writers Neeraj Vora and Shyam Goel used to come up with these punchlines. We liked them and hence, added in the film. If a remake is to be made of Baadshah, which actor do you think will suit the lead role? We have never thought of a remake. Kaun sa actor Shah Rukh Khan jaisa kaam kar sakta hai, pehle woh dekhna hai! We feel no one can replace Shah Rukh. No actor has the same kind of fluency and sense of timing in today’s times. On August 27, #20YearsOfBaadshah is sure to trend a lot of people are going to post their good wishes and memories about the film. Are you ready for the deluge of love and adulation that you’ll get on this day? Yes of course, we are ready. Viewers have given so much love to the film. There are kids who were not even born then and even they call us to tell how much they enjoy watching Baadshah. In fact, just 10 days back on Sunday, Baadshah was aired and we got hordes of messages. We get so shocked when people call us even today. We thought people must have forgotten this 20-year-old film! Shah Rukh Khan is facing the most difficult time of his career right now. Do you think he should attempt something similar to Baadshah since it worked so well for him? Have you’ll offered him any film post his last film, Zero? All actors go through highs and lows in their careers. He has his own thinking and doesn’t like to repeat his acts. We did meet him once but we don’t have any subject for him. Otherwise he is always open to reading our scripts. We need an ideal subject for him that is fitting for his stature. Real life mein bhi, woh dil ka baadshah hi hai! He’s such a good-natured man. Itna achha aadmi hai woh! Also Read: 20 Years of Baadshah EXCLUSIVE: “I am the only girl in the whole world who has kicked Shah Rukh Khan on his bum” – Karishma Jain Chhajer https://ift.tt/2ZqOqFX

20 Years of Baadshah EXCLUSIVE: “I am the only girl in the whole world who has kicked Shah Rukh Khan on his bum” - Karishma Jain Chhajer 20 Years of Baadshah EXCLUSIVE: “I am the only girl in the whole world who has kicked Shah Rukh Khan on his bum” - Karishma Jain Chhajer The popular entertaining film, Baadshah, which completes 20 years today, had an ensemble cast. Shah Rukh Khan in the leading role obviously was quite entertaining but the other actors too left a huge mark. One actor who however stood out was Karishma Jain Chhajer, niece of Baadshah’s producer Ratan Jain and daughter of Girish Jain, who played the young Sonu. She had a crucial part in the film, her chemistry with Shah Rukh was lovely and she also contributed to the film’s humour quotient. Cut to 2019. Karishma Jain Chhajer is now 27 and quite unrecognizable. Baadshah was her first and last film and in an exclusive interview to Bollywood Hungama, she goes down memory lane and recollects moments from the sets, how she bagged the part, working with SRK and other actors, why she didn’t continue acting and a lot more. What are your first thoughts when I say Baadshah and that it has completed 20 years? That I have grown old! Shooting for it was one of the fondest memories of my childhood. When you say ‘Baadshah’, flashes of the shoot happening run right across my eyes. How did you bag the film? As a kid, I was always fond of dancing. My father (Girish Jain) and Bade Papa (Ratan Jain) also knew about my passion. So we had gone for the trial of Salman Khan-Sanjay Kapoor starrer Auzaar at Gaiety-Galaxy’s Grace preview theatre. When the Hindi version of the 'Macarena' song 'Dil Le Le Lena' plays, my bade Papa, who’s always been fond of me since I am the youngest, put me on the podium at the screen and told me to dance. I performed there and Abbas and Mustan uncle saw me. Then there were a couple of more such incidents where both of them must have seen me at parties. To build confidence in me, my father used to challenge me to go and talk to celebrities at these parties, ask them how they are doing and then ask them for a picture. Also, I was kind of a notorious kid running around here and there. So when they wrote Baadshah, they felt I was perfect for the role of Sonu and asked Bade Papa who without a second thought, agreed. So yeah this is how I landed up the role since they realized that I didn’t have the fear and was open and extroverted. Can you share some memorable moments from the sets of Baadshah? My first scene with Shah Rukh was me and him climbing a flight of stairs when he is rescuing me from the kidnappers. The original scene was that he was supposed to lift me and climb. He had not seen me then and I was quite healthy. In the first take, he lifted me but he could climb only till half way. He then came down and told Abbas uncle, “Iss scene ko thoda change kar sakte hai kya? Baby thodi si heavy hai.” He suggested that he’ll hold my hand and run up. Then there was a scene which I feel was edited from the film where both of us had to get off the stairs. We did 4-5 takes as we were not getting the timing right. And in one of the takes, I lost my balance and fell down and I took Shah Rukh also with me. My leg hit him and he got a bit hurt. Go on… Then there’s a sequence where the kidnapper, played by Saurabh Shukla, urges me to talk on the phone with Shah Rukh Khan. So here I am supposed to slap Saurabh Shukla. I was however slapping him very aaram se. He’s an adult after all. I was eating cheese balls in this scene and due to so many retakes, the snack was about to get over. This is when Abbas uncle spoke to me. He told me to imagine that those cheese balls have been snatched away by Saurabh Shukla and hence I have to get angry and slap him. That was it. I then slapped him really hard and the shot was okayed in one take! My first ever shot for the film was when I tell those two bald actors, ‘O Taklu uncle, chocolate do na’ and I slap them on their bald plate. So I banged their hard really hard! One of those actor even told me ‘Aap ne bahut hi zor se maar diya’! Hence when I was supposed to slap Saurabh Shukla, I was very apprehensive. How was it to work with Shah Rukh Khan? He’s a very humble person. Some people feel that he has a lot of attitude but in reality, he’s a very nice human being. He made me feel very comfortable and help whenever I would get stuck with any scene. The scene where we both slide down, usme timing baith hi nahi rahi thi. He slides down and I follow him and then he has to get up after which I kick him. So we were not able to get the timing right. So he told Abbas and Mustan uncle to adjust the monitor towards him so that he can see when I am coming down and thus the timing can match. And I think I am the only girl in the whole world who has kicked Shah Rukh Khan on his bum! During meal times, he would tell me ‘Yeh kha lo’ or ‘Woh kha lo’. He’s very sweet and down-to-earth despite being a superstar! Which are other actors of Baadshah who were nice to you? All of them were very nice. Rakhee Gulzar was like a mother to me. In the climax, the car breaks the glass and enters the hall. Before that shot was canned, she asked the spot dada to give me cotton which I can put in my ears. She feared the loud noise of the breaking glass might cause me hearing problems. So she was so caring and its small things that make a lot of difference. Johny Lever uncle kept the environment on the set light and humourous. As for Amrish Puri, he has the Mogambo aura but in real life, he was complete opposite. I have grown up watching Mr India. And I was a kid and so I used to feel that in real life, he would be exactly the way he’s in films. Hence, before shooting with him, I was very scared. But he made feel very comfortable. Why didn’t you do any more films? My father is highly educated. I used to miss out on my school while shooting for Baadshah. So my father felt that I am actually missing out on my education. He felt that education should be my priority and after that, I am free to choose whatever I want to. There were a few offers after Baadshah but he declined. Do you feel like going back to acting now? Or would you like to dabble in any other department of filmmaking? What do you do now? Not really. As I grew up, I realized I’d like to be behind the camera rather than be in front of it. After I finished my post-graduation in digital marketing, my father took control of the YouTube channels of Venus and asked me to join him. I really enjoyed my time there. I have seen these channels to what they were before and how they have million plus subscribers today. Then I joined Voilà Digi, a company I started with my brother Vinit Jain. Since he’s studying and doesn’t get much time, I take care of the work that needs to be done. Voilà Digi is also related to music. So my life and career is related to music and films! Are your friends aware that you have acted in such a popular film? Actually, I don’t boast about this fact. I used to feel that once I tell people that I have acted in a movie, they might want to be my friends just for that aspect. So only those who became my close and good friends would I tell them. Also sometimes I have to tell them the truth when they ask me how come I have not worked in a film since I am Ratan Jain’s niece. And once you tell one person, then it spreads. Funnily, many people are not able to believe that I am the same person who was in Baadshah. “Lagta nahi hai yaar, your face has completely changed,” is what they tell me. But that’s obvious as I have long hair now; then I had a bob cut. Are you in touch with anybody from the team of Baadshah? I am very much in touch with Abbas uncle and Mustan uncle. They are like family. For every function in our family – whether big or small – they are always there. Johny Lever and Charlie recognize me. Razak Khan also knew me well. But if I go and meet Shah Rukh Khan, he obviously won’t come to know who I am unless I tell him that I acted with him in Baadshah.

“Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is a beautiful song that will resonate with each person who has ever fallen in love”, says Arijit Singh “Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is a beautiful song that will resonate with each person who has ever fallen in love”, says Arijit Singh The makers had teased the audiences with a sneak peek into the title track of Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas when the teaser launched couple of weeks back. Since then, there has been an ever-increasing demand by the audiences for the title track’s launch. The wait is finally over as the song has been launched today. When you have the mesmerising voice of Arijit Singh, along with lyrics penned by Siddharth and Garima – you can only expect a magical experience. Arijit and Parampara have come together to croon the title track of the film, ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’. The soulful musical track has been composed by Sachet-Parampara and Rishi Rich. An original track, not a remake of the cult song by the legendary actor, Dharmendra, this song is special for director Sunny Deol, an ode to his father as the legacy continues with his son Karan’s debut film. The song showcases the blossoming romance between the lead pair—Karan Deol and Sahher Bambaa. The title track also showcases the fresh chemistry between the duo and is full of passion, intensity, promises to capture the audiences' heart. Singer Arijit Singh says, "‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’ is a beautiful song that will resonate with each person who has ever fallen in love."

Ticket prices hiked for Prabhas starrer Saaho, trade reacts Ticket prices hiked for Prabhas starrer Saaho, trade reacts Okay, patrons, if you are holding your breath to see Saaho, if you are as eager to see it as you say you are, then pay more for the tickets. Apparently the ticket rates for Saaho would be on a par with what is charged for films that fall in the ‘blockbuster’ category, which means ticket buyers would have to pay at least 1/3rd more than the original price, if not more. This unfair practice of saddling the audiences with the extra budgetary costs of a big film is nothing new. Says Bihar distributor Roshan Singh, “Yes, we’ve been given instructions to charge the blockbuster rates for Saaho, the same as the Salman Khan starrer Bharat. But it’s only for the first three days from release.” Rationalizing the sudden steep hike trade analyst Girish Johar says, “Increase of ticket pricing is a joint call of the producer/distributor and exhibitor for a particular film, with the onus of the same lying with the producer/distributor. Now for Saaho, if they feel that the excitement levels are very high and audiences are super-excited to see the film that they will be willing to pay much higher prices, than the normal, it is their business decision.” Girish admits this financial burden on the consumer is unfair. “Yes, audiences may feel the pinch but then it all boils down to content. It’s a very thin line to tread. If they feel satisfied then they would not complain but if they are not, then it backfires badly. If the content is disappointing they shun it vehemently when the ticket rates are hiked. This makes the collections fall faster, which is not good. So the makers opt for higher pricing only if they are pretty much confident of their offering to the audiences. Saaho is a MEGA film with huge budgets and investments, so naturally the expectations are MAMMOTH from it.” Trade insider Atul Mohan feels ticket-rates ought not to be hiked. “Everybody is after breaking records and setting new benchmarks. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is to hike ticket price. They know that paying public easily falls prey to this trap. But it should justify your demands. We all remember Thugs Of Hindostan right? There also, the ticket prices were hiked. But what happened to it after day 1? Historical opening and historical fall in 24 hours. As an audience I would rather wait for the views, reviews and initial madness to settle rather than to rush madly to watch the film. Hiking ticket prices, forming early judgments should be discouraged.” Also Read: Neil Nitin Mukesh gets suave, sophisticated and dapper yet again as a villain opposite Prabhas in Saaho https://ift.tt/2L8F33u

Since then, there has been an ever-increasing demand by the audiences for the title track’s launch. The wait is finally over as the song launches today! When you have the mesmerizing voice of Arijit Singh, along with lyrics penned by Siddharth and Garima – you can only expect a magical experience. Arijit and Parampara have come together to croon the title track of the film, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. The soulful musical track has been composed by Sachet-Parampara and Rishi Rich. An original track, not a remake of the cult song by the legendary actor, Dharmendra, this song is special for director Sunny Deol, an ode to his father as the legacy continues with his son Karan’s debut film.

Singer Arijit Singh says, "'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas' is a beautiful song that will resonate with each person who has ever fallen in love." Director Sunny Deol says, “'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas' showcases the innocence of young love while Arijit Singh and Parampara's voice is the soul of the song." “'Pal pal Dil Ke Paas' being a legendary song was the first challenge to crack! We knew that the melody and the words were in people's memory and one had to lyrically achieve something completely new and fresh. We approached the song with just one perspective, young innocent love. Honest in emotion and flowing simply. We have kept the lyrics easygoing and 'story' like. We feel this melody has the power to go very big stay on for a long long time and feel proud that it's a perfect match with the words that we cracked for it. The girl and boy emotion had to be brought out perfectly and the brief from Sunny Sir helped that process. The process of creating this song was memorable, in Manali, amidst the beautiful valley and picturesque locales! We would work for hours with composers Sachet-Parampara, with the mountains ahead of us! There can't be a better way to write a song,” says lyricist Siddharth Garima. Produced by Zee Studios and Sunny Sounds Pvt Ltd, Sunny Deol’s directorial, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas will release worldwide on September 20, 2019.

Neil Nitin Mukesh gets suave, sophisticated and dapper yet again as a villain opposite Prabhas in Saaho Neil Nitin Mukesh gets suave, sophisticated and dapper yet again as a villain opposite Prabhas in Saaho When it comes to the style quotient, it all comes naturally for Neil Nitin Mukesh. Even when he played a simpleton in Johnny Gaddaar, one couldn’t take eye off from his suave persona. Even in his later films like Players and David, he played a sophisticated personality with ease. Later in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo when he played a prince no less, it all came across naturally to him. No wonder, when Madhur Bhandarkar roped him in to play Late Sanjay Gandhi, he looked every bit a royalty even in the partially bald avtar. No wonder, with him returning as a hardcore baddie in this Friday’s big event release Saaho, all eyes are on how he gets his sophisticated persona orchestrate all things evil in the Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer. So far, not much has been revealed about the exact part that Neil Nitin Mukesh plays in the film which is one of the costliest to come out of the Indian film industry. However, if the glimpses of what one has seen in the promo are any indication, he would be yet again seen in a suave and sophisticated avtar even though he is playing a part of the baddie. "That's the way Neil has always been, be it as a hero or a villain or someone with grey shades," says an insider, "He isn't someone whom you would find even napping in a dishevelled avtar, both on and off the screen. He is a looker, comes with a great personality and moreover has an inherent style quotient to him. You would always see him stylishly dressed and even in the role of a villain, you won't find him screaming or getting loud with his mannerisms. He can be gentle, and yet so menacing. That's the core quotient which he brings in his performances." No wonder, he did carry an inherent charm even in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo as well as Golmaal Again, even while pitted as a villain against Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn/Parineeti Chopra. Now something similar is set to be seen in Saaho as well where he takes on Prabhas. "In any case, Saaho is a stylish entertainer with the best of the looks and the wardrobes being reserved for everyone in there," says our source connected to the film, "While Prabhash is already being seen in a look which is quite different from his Baahubali days, Shraddha Kapoor too is in a chic avtar. While that is expected from the leads, look at the other villains in the film. Be it Jackie Shroff, Chunkey Pandey or Mahesh Manjrekar, everyone is in never seen before avtar as they look dapper, sophisticated and suave. How could Neil be far behind?" Well, come Friday and we would know how far Neil has gone ahead in making sure that as a stylish villain, he is just the right baddie to be taken on by Prabhas.

Lakme Fashion Week 2019: Malaika Arora, Kangana Ranaut and Shilpa Shetty bring festive glamour and timeless elegance to the ramp Lakme Fashion Week 2019: Malaika Arora, Kangana Ranaut and Shilpa Shetty bring festive glamour and timeless elegance to the ramp The Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019 came to a close with the stunning Kareena Kapoor Khan strutting her way to the runway. But before she made it to the grand finale, the last day saw Malaika Arora, Kangana Ranaut, and Shilpa Shetty bring festive glamour and timeless elegance to the ramp. Aimed at the New Age bride, Disha Patil’s bridal and occasion wear had the ultimate luxurious appeal with timeless elegance for her “The Interpretation of Love” collection at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019. Offering handcrafted elements with a vintage appeal, the ensembles were ideal for all the bridal festivities starting from the Roka to the Mehndi, Sangeet, Saat Pheras and Reception. There was an elegance and classic tailoring in a palette that was partial to pastels. The embellishments were ornate, lavish and opulent with attention to extreme detail. Choosing the ‘Queen’ as her show stopper – Disha brought the glamorous Kangana Ranaut on the catwalk in a powder blue lehenga dazzling with silver work and a stunning will- power choli with a one-sided, extended, shoulder drape. Disha Patil’s collection “The Interpretation of Love” was a romantic fashion symphony that will be ideal for brides as they take their vows. The Diya Rajvvir label created by Diya Arora and Rajvvir Arora was aimed at the bride who longs for memorable timeless wedding trousseaux. The label’s festive collection “Rosette” was all about romance that will last forever with creations that celebrate the bridal event. The brand’s distinct leitmotif was the hand-painted story, which pointed to abstract roses created on feminine, flowing, diaphanous silk organza and suiting material. The embellishments matched the festive look of the collection as vintage beadwork highlighted the beauty of the separates. Detailing came in the form of exaggerated shapes, while the expertly constructed ensembles were the basis of the garments. Colours had to be bright and festive so the choice fell on the berry, mauve, dusty rose, and blush. While women’s ethnic wear had all the glitz and glamour with a strong emphasis on mauve and Marsala, the Indo-western silhouettes at times veered towards the western options, to enable the bride to select from myriad choices. Making a show-stopping entry was Malaika Arora who made a grand appearance in a plunging neckline, fitted choli with giant, layered, fan sleeves and a slinky, rose, embroidered marsala, high-slit long skirt. The “Rosette” collection by Diya Rajvvir assured that the selection is limitless. Punit Balana ensured that the theme of his collections always revolved around glamour. For Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019 Punit’s collection called “Rabari” was an ode to textiles and amazing embroidery created by the Rabari women. Punit’s USP for his creations has always been his exclusive block prints, organic dyes, colours, eco-friendly techniques and silhouettes. The colour card was dominated by black along with dry henna and buttercup, which will be ideal for the coming festive season of Ganapati and Diwali. The glamourous creations would also fit into the wardrobe of the brides for the coming wedding season, when the ladies shop with their entourage for the Mehndi/Sangeet as well as the biggest day of their lives. To the foot-tapping beat of two drummers, showstopper Shilpa Shetty made a rocking entrance as she swished down the ramp in a swirling, shimmering, lehenga and a dazzling mirror work halter choli, accessorized with giant latkans and a potli bag. For women who long to emphasize the stylish diva within, then the “Rabari” collection by Punit Balana will ensure that the ladies make their show-stopping entries wherever they go.

Sequels, remakes, franchises - It’s all happening for hottest youngster around, Kartik Aaryan, with Pati Patni aur Woh, Dostana 2 and now Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Sequels, remakes, franchises - It’s all happening for hottest youngster around, Kartik Aaryan, with Pati Patni aur Woh, Dostana 2 and now Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Persistence, perseverance, patience - each of three P’s is paying off well for Kartik Aaryan who has gradually moved on from the image of ‘woh monologue waala hero’. While Pyaar Ka Punchnama 1 & 2 will forever stay on to be the crowning glory for the youngster, there are other franchises, remakes and sequels that are going to keep him super busy for the next 12 months. Latest in this list is horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which has Kartik Aaryan step in as a ghostbuster no less. A franchise that is now being carried forward by the youngster, it has quite some legacy going for it. To begin with, the film itself was a remake of Rajinikanth starrer Chandramukhi, which again had its origin in Malayalam hit Manichitrathazhu. While Akshay Kumar introduced the concept at an all-India level through Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007, Kartik Aaryan is now taking it forward via the second part of the series. A lot depends on the success of this film as that would be the deciding factor for the franchise to continue into the third part and the trade is sure that with the heartthrob tag attached to him, Kartik Aaryan and the entire team of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would do justice to it. Then there is a remake in the form of Pati Patni Aur Woh which is keeping Kartik busy. While he is shooting for the film currently with Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday to make it ready for the winter release, rest assured his Chintu Tyagi act would be much mimicked when it is unveiled in front of the audience. Late Sanjeev Kumar had his own inimitable style when he played the part of a philandering husband in the situational comedy and given Kartik’s prowess in this genre (Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety being last such affair), one can be assured of smiles and laughs galore. Immediately after that would arrive second part of the Love Aaj Kal franchise which is being helmed by Imtiaz Ali again. Now this is one film which is sure to test Kartik further as an actor as it is expected to be intense, dramatic and of course romantic. Yes, there are light moments galore too in this Valentine’s Day release which has Sara Ali Khan opposite Kartik. Still given the fact that this is an Imtiaz Ali film, there would be subtexts for sure and Kartik has a job in hand to bring those nuances in front of the camera. There would be different kind of nuances on display though for Karan Johar’s Dostana 2, second in the Dostana franchise. This time around, the fun would be double as instead of imitating as a gay, the central protagonist played by Kartik is actually supposed to be a gay. This isn’t all as buzz in the B-town is that he and Janhvi Kapoor play siblings in the film and they both fall for the same guy! Well, while we would get to know the ultimate truth behind it all once the film comes closer to the release, rest assured this is going to be a new world altogether for Kartik. While Pati Patni Aur Woh, Love Aaj Kal 2 (tentative title), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2 are just some of the films that would keep his fans and followers happy, rest assured Kartik Aaryan would be bringing in some more surprises too in months to come.

It brought together producer Boney Kapoor and his son Arjun Kapoor for the first time. It also introduced Amit Sharma to Hindi cinema, and Amit hasn’t forgotten to be grateful. Says the young director, “Whether Tevar worked at the box office or not, it remains a very special film for me. Not only because it was my first film but also because Boney Sir made sure I got everything I needed to make that film. There was no cutting of corners, no budgetary constraints. I made Tevar exactly the way I wanted to, with no interference whatsoever from Boney Sir.” Amit says he is looking forward to working with Boney again. “Maidaan fulfils three of my wishes. I wanted to make a biopic. I wanted to make a sports film. And I wanted to work with Boney Sir again. I am doing all three in Maidaan.” Says Boney, “I saw the potential in Amit when I gave him a big film like Tevar. Now, we’re coming together again after his Badhaai Ho. But we’d have together worked on Maidaan even if Badhaai Ho had not happened.” As producer Boney has given a break to innumerable directors in Hindi cinema among them Satish Kaushik (Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja) , Agathiyan (Sirf Tum), Krishna Vamsi (Shakti The Power),S J Surya (Khushi), Jeeva (Run), Samir Karnik (Kyun…Ho Gaya Na), Ravi Udyawar (Mom) and Amit Sharma (Tevar).

He had his arms around both of us and we just talked and talked and he blessed us both.” Kiran has a moment that she would cherish for the rest of her life. “It felt like old friends catching up that’s how comfortable he makes you feel. He looked at our wedding album & my baby scan pics. He told my hubby he was very lucky and my hubby said I tell her all the time that I must have done something right that I got her. I had to hold back the tears. He spoke to us about everything from his current movie to his next. Showed us stills & clips. Amazed! Even more excited for the film to arrive!

As this is the first time where the actress will be holding the gun, Shraddha Kapoor recently shared, “I had to work on holding the gun, which was very heavy. When you hold a gun, the pressure is on your wrist. If you see my wrists, you won’t think they are strong enough to hold a gun, and they weren’t. The first few times that I had to hold it, I faced a lot of discomfort and pain. I started doing exercises to strengthen my wrists, and I used to tape them while holding a gun for a scene to keep my hand steady. After a few days of training, I started carrying the gun with me on the set at all times. I became comfortable with it, and it almost seemed like it’s an extension of my hand”. This year is going to be a treat for Shraddha’s fans as she has two releases lined up, Saaho alongside Baahubali fame Prabhas, Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore and both have her looking extremely different from each other.

Mission Mangal is Akshay Kumar’s 10th hit in a row Mission Mangal is Akshay Kumar’s 10th hit in a row Akshay Kumar’s uninterrupted success run at the box office continues. His new release Mission Mangal has accrued Rs 121.23 crores in six days, making it a huge winner. Prior to this Akshay scored with the historical Kesari and in 2018 he had three hits Padman, Gold and 2.0. The last box office failure in Akshay’s career was Brothers in 2015 and prior to that the only Akshay Kumar film to have bombed in the last 10 years was Shirish Kunder’s weird Joker. With Mission Mangal raking in the numbers Akshay Kumar proves himself the single-most invincible box office force in Bollywood. In brief, there is just no stopping Akshay Kumar. Comments trade analyst Girish Johar, “Akshay Kumar is in his GOLDEN PHASE, he has done a lot of hard work, given immense dedication continuously over a long period of time. He has caught on to the public's pulse in seeking quality-content films, backed with some intelligent humour and with a strong message. Along with this, he is doing the right kind of mix of films, so that for the audiences it doesn't get repetitive.” Girish Johar feels Akshay superstardom is carefully planned. “The beauty of this seeming madness is that a lot of deep thinking has gone behind it. Top actors do offbeat films once every 2 or 3 years, but here Akshay does this consciously 3-4 times a year and that too for many years. This is a really impossible feat and being successful in this surely makes other actors envious and they too have gone all-out following his footsteps. Wishing him many many and many more years of good and successful story telling.” Says trade guru Amod Mehra, “Akshay Kumar today is the only complete superstar who is on one hand doing diverse bold roles and in the next two films (Housefull 4 and Laxmmi Bomb) out and out commercial films. His forte is he has developed the skill of choosing the right scripts.” Adds trade insider Atul Mohan, “The Khiladi has mastered the game and how! Picking up right films with perfect packaging and timing the release perfectly.” Also Read: Akshay Kumar is the only Bollywood actor in Forbes top 10 of the highest paid actors https://ift.tt/2HlT3FX

EXCLUSIVE: Nora Fatehi opens up about bonding with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor on Street Dancer 3D EXCLUSIVE: Nora Fatehi opens up about bonding with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor on Street Dancer 3D Nora Fatehi is creating waves and why not. The actress gave a huge chartbuster with 'Dilbar' song last year which was in Satyameva Jayate. The actress, since then, has gone into to star in several peppy numbers including 'Kamariya' in Stree and 'O Saki Saki' in Batla House. With Batla House, she has forayed into acting as well. Now, moving ahead, the actress will be starring in Street Dancer 3D alongside Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. The film, helmed by Remo D'Souza, is once again a dance film featuring some of his older cast from ABCD 2. While Nora Fatehi is a new addition, the actress had a fun time during the filming of the movie. Speaking about her role, Nora said, "In Street Dancer 3D, I am the second lead in the film. That's huge and it's a step up in my career. There's a great storyline in the movie and I am playing a really cool role. There's a lot of emotions in my character, lot of depth. And of course, dance. I am doing different styles of dance that I have never attempted before. You'll definitely see me in a different light. Being opposite Varun Dhawan is a huge thing for my career and positioning in the industry. To be able to do a film with Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and being directed Remo D'Souza, it, of course, really enhances my positioning in the industry. But, I have given it all the film and I have been able to do some things that I haven't done before. This will be a treat for the audience as they will see me do several things in one film - act, dance and perform. It's going to be really fun. I can't wait for the film to release. The actress even became good friends with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor during the course of the shooting. The fans have witnessed them goofing around in the behind the scenes videos and photos. Further talking about working with the cast, Nora added, "Working with Varun and Shraddha has of course been an outstanding experience. It's been super fun and we've had a great time on set. Although we worked very hard for the film, we also understood that we really vibe well together and it's fun we are together, we really did a lot of Masti and enjoy ourselves at the same time while working hard. Of course, we always joke around, we laugh and it's always fun to be around with people who have great energies and good vibes, who are kids at heart. We are all kids at heart at the end of the day. The experience of shooting with them on Street Dancer 3D is very special to me. When we wrapped up the film, it was really really sad. It's just a different experience. I don't think a lot of actors get to experience that on the sets and I got lucky to experience that. I am very grateful to them. Not just Varun and Shraddha, even the other dancers in the film Raghav Juyal, Dharmesh Yelande, Sushant, all the dancers - if I were to name them all we would be here all day. But, all of them were amazing. The environment on the set it felt like we were back in high school again. It's so real, positive and fun." Street Dancer 3D is set to release on Republic Day 2019.

Akshay Kumar jokes he will lose all the respect he has gained so far after Housefull 4 Akshay Kumar jokes he will lose all the respect he has gained so far after Housefull 4 Akshay Kumar’s last release Mission Mangal has been his highest opener at the box office by making Rs. 27 crores on the very first day. The women-centric film is winning hearts all over the country and revolves around the first successful attempt of ISRO at launching a ship to Mars. Akshay Kumar has successfully become the actor whose pictures usually have an important social message. Films including Padman, Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, and Jolly LLB 2 being some of the few, Mission Mangal also addresses a lot of social issues. During one of the promotional press conferences for Mission Mangal, Akshay was asked whether he fears getting typecast with the series of socially relevant films he has been making in the past. Vidya Balan was quick to answer that Housefull 4 will definitely be the one to typecast him because it has the best social message. To which, Akshay Kumar wittily replied that he will end up losing all the respect he has gained so far after Housefull 4 because it happens to be an out-and-out slapstick comedy! He will also be seen in Laxxmi Bomb with Kiara Advani and has recently started shooting for the same.

Mika Singh FINALLY talks about attending the event in Pakistan, says, “It was a mistake and it will not be repeated again” Mika Singh FINALLY talks about attending the event in Pakistan, says, “It was a mistake and it will not be repeated again” Mika Singh has been under the radar for a few days now after the news broke out that the lauded singer recently attended an event in Pakistan held for the former Pak President, Pervez Musharraf's family. All hell broke loose when the netizens realized that the event took place after Article 370 was revoked, taking away the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir. The country has been debating over the issue ever since. The Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees decided to impose a ban on Mika. In a recent press conference held to address the issue, Ashoke Pandit, BN Tiwari, and Mika Singh were at the panel. While there were a lot of reporters who wanted to ask questions to Mika, Ashoke Pandit and BN Tiwari let out a disclaimer saying that everyone was upset with Mika’s performance and had already issued an NC against him. While they were ready to impose a ban on him, Mika approached them asking for a chance to explain the reason behind performing in Pakistan. Turns out, Mika had agreed to do the event long before the Pulwama attacks took place and since it was an old commitment, he went ahead with it. When a reporter asked him why he went there despite knowing it will cause an issue, his reply was, “I went there because I got a visa, you would do the same if you had one too!” They chose not to answer a lot of questions, but Mika certainly sounded agitated as he was the only one being questioned. He went ahead to point out how Indian singers were still doing concerts with Pakistani singers and how unfair it was for the media to target him alone. Mika went ahead to apologize for performing and said, “It was a mistake and it will not be repeated again.” In conclusion, Pakistani artists are banned no matter how the Indo-Pak relationship takes a turn. The ban on Mika Singh has, however, been lifted. Also Read: Mika Singh to meet FWICE to discuss ban from Indian Film Industry after performing in Pakistan https://ift.tt/2KNZnZ0

Here’s what Vidya Balan has to say about Kiara Advani’s performance in Kabir Singh Here’s what Vidya Balan has to say about Kiara Advani’s performance in Kabir Singh In a short span of time, Kiara Advani has proved herself as one of the actresses to watch out for. And with her recent portrayal of Preeti, in the hugely successful Kabir Singh, Kiara has certainly upped her ante. The talented lass was hailed from all quarters for her depiction of the shy and subdued Preeti, in this Hindi remake of the South hit film – Arjun Reddy. Even the extremely talented Vidya Balan was all praises for Kiara. Vidya recently said, “Kiara is so beautiful. I think Kiara did a great job (in Kabir Singh). Especially for a city-bred girl, who is independent, and I am sure who is not like Preeti, to play a role like this with so much conviction, it is incredible. So, I think that’s is the thing with being an actor, whether or not you believe in it, when you are able to pull it off – hats of.” After Kabir Singh, Kiara will soon be seen in Good News, Laxmmi Bomb, Shershaah, Guilty and Indoo Ki Jawani. And honestly, we won’t be surprised if the girl floors us all once again with her stellar performances. ALSO READ: Vidya Balan reveals why Indira Gandhi biopic is delayed https://ift.tt/2TSW0CT

Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019: Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar make a stunning pair as showstoppers for Payal Singhal Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019: Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar make a stunning pair as showstoppers for Payal Singhal Two successful decades in fashion is a great achievement for any designer and Payal Singhal has not only carved a niche for herself in the country but also got a loyal following around the globe. Her celebratory collection called “Gypsies and Bohemia” at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019 chalked out her DNA and inspirations perfectly. Selecting her showstoppers carefully to match the theme of the show, there was glamorous, bohemia with a gypsy touch when Payal brought Bollywood’s favourite couple, Shibani Dandekar (who is Payal’s favourite muse) and her beau the very handsome Farhan Akhtar. The pair looked ultra-stylish in coordinated ecru creations. Shibani looked dazzling in a georgette lehenga and choli topped with a tasseled, 3D embellished cropped blouse; while Farhan looked dashing in a printed kurta, churidars and dupatta. The ensembles were splashed with exciting neon wool, floral zardosi work as Shibani and Farhan strutted down the catwalk in perfect unison. Creating a bohemian Turkish and Moroccan bazaar set on the ramp with Turkish carpets hung above and the mosaic patterned ramp below, the show opened with colours, zest and loads of feisty flavour. Drawing her creative ideas from folklore especially the Islamic architecture and the colours of bazaars in Turkey and Morocco as well as the 10th century gypsy vagabonds; the total mood of the collection was for the free-spirited millennial wanderers. Payal’s fabrics have always told a rich story with georgette, bits of velvet and organza; while the colours have been adventurous. From neutral white and ecru, the palette moved to periwinkle blue, pale rose and pops of neon with black. The Payal Singhal collection was a grand study in embellishments, when thread work, cutwork jaalis, leather embroidery, frayed tassels, which were the leitmotif of the collection; appliqués, patchwork, pom-poms, and 3D textures formed the highlights on the garments. Payal’s signature prints came in the form of hand-painted blossoms and ikat. Catering to an international clientele who loves indie sensibilities, Payal offered jacket-cholis, lehenga-salwars, bomber jackets and deconstructed blazers along with her famed drop-crotch pants, cropped skirts, saris and coordinated sets. Creating a fashionable impact were the paneled, tasseled skirt/blouse duo, sheer skirt over slim printed pants, kaftans, flared blouse with bell-sleeves, the black long-sleeved, transparent, lean tube over skinny trousers with a bralette and the tasseled blouse/bustier. The solitary sari too had a bohemian flavour with its tasseled edges. Cropped pants and the embroidered hip length, drop waist kurtas, jumpsuit with side tassels, mini coat dress with intense embellishments and the extreme textured, long skirts in ombré and multi-colored ruffles were stunners. To complete the “Gypsies and Bohemia” look Payal added totes, fanny packs, belt bags, and wristlets. Payal’s men’s wear matched the theme as printed kurtas - some with side drawstrings - bundies, skinny trousers, and churidars added to the look of the collection. Payal Singhal’s celebratory 20th-anniversary collection had strong versatile vibes that emphasised the profile of the range, which will move effortlessly from Indian soirées to international Red-Carpet nights or destination weddings.

Sriram Raghavan opens up about big stars refusing AndhaDhun and how Ayushmann was ready to learn the piano for the role Sriram Raghavan opens up about big stars refusing AndhaDhun and how Ayushmann was ready to learn the piano for the role Sriram Raghavan is one of the most lauded directors of the industry who has given us a gem of a movie that is AndhaDhun. The Ayushmann Khurrana starrer has won a national award and it deserves every bit of success that it has made so far. Being one of the most unconventional films, AndhaDhun has won hearts across the globe. Director Sriram Raghavan opened up about the time when many known faces in the industry were not sure about the film. In his recent interview, Sriram spoke about how he narrated the script to a few known faces while it was still incomplete and they couldn’t understand how it would pan out. Sriram was sure that if they didn’t understand the script while it was in progress, they wouldn’t be able to get into the skin of the character. Ayushmann later texted Raghavan asking to audition for the part and when he was asked if he could play the piano, he said that he knew how to play the guitar and would learn to play the keys for the role. We’re so glad that Ayushmann texted Sriram regarding the audition because we wouldn’t have anyone else playing that part but him!

WATCH: Will Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan feature in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2? Anees Bazmee responds WATCH: Will Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan feature in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2? Anees Bazmee responds Just yesterday the poster of the Anees Baznee film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was revealed featuring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role. Though the makers of the film have been rather tight lipped about the rest of the cast, rumour mills have been working overtime claiming that the film will also feature Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan. Well, recently in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Anees Bazmee, who will be directing the film, responded to the rumours about Akshay and Sara featuring in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and here’s what he had to say. Talking about Akshay Kumar featuring in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Bazmee added, “I think yeh thoda sa jaldi hoga mujhe bolna. Because already hum log work kar rahe hai, and dekhiye kya hota hai. Akshayji ke saath bahut saari filme ki hai, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng. Badi khoobsurat yaade rahi hai, unke saath bahut acchi acchi film ki hai. We have a great relationship, bahut pyaar. Mujhe bhi bahut khushi hogi agar woh honge and unke yahan bhi hai ki bhai koi na koi film mein jodna hai. Toh abhi mujhe lagta hai thodasa early hoga bolna. But let’s hope for the best.” Later, addressing the rumours of Sara Ali Khan featuring in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Anees Bazmee continued, “Nahi, abhi woh kar rahe hai hum log final. Abhi board pe jo hai sirf Kartik hai. Main abhi thoda sa editing mein busy hoon, meri film Pagalpanti ke liye. So after 15 days, jo hai na we will start thinking ki kya hai kya nahi hai. But bahut hi khoobsurati se sab hoga.” Though, Bazmee chose to be rather cryptic his non-committal stance on whether Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan will feature in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has certain caught our interest.

WAR: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's action sequences took one year to design WAR: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's action sequences took one year to design Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s action spectacle War is the biggest Bollywood film releasing this year given the sheer anticipation from audiences to see this visual extravaganza. Hrithik and Tiger, two of the biggest action superstars of Indian cinema, fight each other in a ruthless, merciless showdown that will surely leave audiences on the edge of their seats to find out who prevails. YRF gave a hint of the brilliant action choreography that audiences will be treated within the teaser of the film that went instantly viral and became the nation’s talking point. Four of the top action directors of the world Paul Jennings (The Dark Knight, San Andreas, Jack Reacher and Game of Thrones), Franz Spilhaus (Safe House, Eye in the Sky, Death Race), Sea Young Oh (Age of Ultron, Snowpiercer) and Parvez Shaikh (Tiger Zinda Hai, Kesari, Mary Kom) – all specialists in creating a different type of spectacle, have come together to design breath-taking, never seen before action stunts. Hrithik and Tiger will be seen fighting each other on land, air, ocean and even air! Director Siddharth Anand has clearly left no stones unturned to make War the biggest action film that India has ever produced and it looks like he took over a year to build and plan all the action sequences. Siddharth confirms the news saying, “It is true because I don’t think any movie in India has spent over a year to design action sequences. I wanted to create an action spectacle, a non-stop adrenaline-pumping visual extravaganza for Indian audiences and for that we all had to give over a year to design these sequences. We had four action directors living and working in different parts of the world and it was important to jam with them on how to make War the biggest and one of its kind action film. We wanted audiences to feel that they had never seen this kind of action and we wanted them to be proud that an Indian film could do what a big-budget Hollywood action film delivers.” He adds, “In fact, the biggest Hollywood action films have, at the most, 4 action sequences in the film, we, on the other hand, have 7 action set pieces! We had two of the biggest action superstars in our film and we wanted to deliver to the expectations of the people and create the grandest action film to date. The response to the teaser has validated our effort and we are hoping that audiences will give as much love to the film as well.” The action entertainer of the year will see both Hrithik and Tiger push their bodies to the limit to pull off these death-defying acting stunts. They will be seen mercilessly fighting each other in 7 different countries and 15 world cities! Produced by Yash Raj Films, the high-octane film that also stars Vaani Kapoor opposite Hrithik Roshan is set to release on the big National Holiday of Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.

Ghazal Maestro Talat Aziz mourns the death of Khayyam, recalls recording his most iconic song Ghazal Maestro Talat Aziz mourns the death of Khayyam, recalls recording his most iconic song “Khayyam Saab was like my father and he loved me like a son. I feel the loss deeply. I was at his bedside all through his illness. I actually watch him go and I witnessed a golden era come to an end. Khayyam Saab was a perfectionist. I remember the ghazal ‘Nagma-e-Jaan Saaz-e-Dil’ that I recorded with him for Gautam Ghose’s Yatra where he made me do 20 takes after which he was satisfied. But my most memorable song with Khayyam Saab was ‘Phir Chidi Raat Baat Phoolon Ki’ in the film Bazaar in 1982. I was young and for the first time was going to be singing with the one and only Lata Mangeshkar. The recording was at Bombay Lab and the recording engineer was Sharmaji. A very imposing and senior person with a stern look who reputedly was so senior that I heard he could ask Lataji also to do a retake. Anyway as you know we recorded live with the full orchestra outside in the main hall. The singers’ booth was quite spacious but you could not see the recording room through the glass. Khayyam Saheb s made me rehearse for almost two weeks for this song at his residence. I was nervous as I would be singing live in the studio with Lata ji and a whole 60 piece orchestra and if I made one mistake then everyone would have to do a re-take. And they used to record on 35 mm film-reels because the audio part of the film could take the broad sound. Lataji came and we stood in the singers’ room ready for the take. I blurted out, ‘I am very nervous.’ Lataji very sweetly said to me, “Why? You are such a good singer”. And without realizing what I was doing I asked her, ‘How do you know that? You haven’t heard me sing’. And I almost bit my tongue realising that was not expected of a raw kid. She smiled sweetly and said, “I heard you on the TV show Aarohi and you sing nicely”. She was being supportive to a rank-newcomer and that was her greatness. She also cautioned me that Khayyam Saheb is a perfectionist and famous for his “one more safety-take” so I better be prepared for it. The recording started and after a number of takes Khayyam Saab’s voice came over the headphone “Wah Lata ji kya mast hai! Wah!” Lataji just smiled sweetly and softly said under her breath. “Now he will come and ask for a safety take”. And lo and behold Khayyam Saheb on cue opened the singers’ room door and walked in praising her, “Wah Wah! Kya baat hai Lataji kya bast hai. Lekin please ek aur safety take”. I didn’t know what to say when Lataji looked at me with that knowing look which said, “See, what did I tell you”. This ghazal has become so iconic that even singers like Mehdi Hasan Saab my Guru said I had sung well. This appreciation from such personalities was and is a great compliment although I still feel that I sound raw in that recording but it was the combined genius of Khayyam and the Nightingale of India which helped me sound okay.” Also Read: Khayyam, the zero-compromise composing genius, is no more https://ift.tt/2Z98DPu

Khayyam, the zero-compromise composing genius, is no more Khayyam, the zero-compromise composing genius, is no more Khayyam blossomed into a popular music-provider very late in his career. For too long he remained side-lined by a sense of self-worth that made any sort of compromise sacrilegious. Hence in spite early indications of indubitable brilliance in films like Footpaath in 1954 and the timeless ‘Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi, Phir Na Jikiye Mera Gustakh Nigah Ka Gila’ (Phir Subah Hogi) in 1958, Khayyam lagged far behind the other composing stalwarts of the 1950s and 60s. That a composer of such colossal talent who couldn’t compete in the bazaar of film sangeet with Shankar-Jaikishan, O P Nayyar or even Ravi, left Khayyam embittered. During a large part of the 1960s Khayyam Saab was upset with Mohd Rafi over a trifle and vowed to replace the mighty Rafi with the copy Mahendra Kapoor in his compositions. Such egoistic issues damaged the genius’ onward progression and he found himself out of work in Bollywood during a large part of the 1960s and 70s when he kept himself busy with non-film albums. Prominent among these is the album I Write I Recite in which Khayyam Saab composed music for poems written and sung by the legendary actress Meena Kumari. It remains a unique classic of its genre. In 1976, Khayyam made a spectacular return to film composition with Yash Chopra’s Kabhi Kabhie. The eloquent romantic shayari of Sahir Ludhianvi and Khayyam’s lilting melodies set the charts ablaze. The title song ‘Kabhi Kabhie Mere Dil Mein Khayaal Aata Hai’ (incidentally it was composed for but not used in another film directed by Chetan Anand) was the biggest hit of the year. And Khayyam Saab was finally a force to reckon with. The support and patronage of Yash Chopra provided Khayyam Saab’s career with the compositional heft that it needed. He went on to compose brilliant songs for Yash Chopra’s Trishul, Noorie, Nakhuda and Sawaal. Khayyam Saab followed the chartbusting success of Kabhi Kabhie with the monumental Umrao Jaan in 1981. The album’s Mujras and Ghazals sung by Asha Bhosle were a rage and continue to be popular to this day. There are stories of the arguments that Khayyam Saab had with Asha Bhosle over how the song in Umrao Jaan should be rendered with the composer insisting that she sing a few octaves lower than usual. Khayyam Saab won. Unfortunately some of his most accomplished work in the post Kabhi Kabhie phase of his career occurred in unsuccessful films. Khayyam’s best compositions in the films Shankar Hussain, Bazaar, Anjuman, the ambitious Razia Sultan and the unreleased Zooni never got the recognition they deserved. Khayyam remains a beacon of brilliant possibilities never fully realized or accomplished. If one or two of his great compositions like ‘Baharon Mera Jeevan Bhi Sawaro’ from Aakhri Khat in 1966 and ‘Hazaar Raahein Mud Ke Dekhin’ (Thodisi Bewafaai) in 1980 topped the charts, a bounty of his most brilliant compositions in the 1960s, 70s and 80s went unnoticed. In the 1990s Khayyam Saab withdrew from the rat race rather than do the kind of work he was asked to do. “I am happy with the little that I do these days,” he told me in 2007. “The work I do is the work I want to do. Nowadays that is not the way the film industry works.” The Best of Khayyam 1. ‘Woh Subah Kabhi Toh Aayegi’: Phir Subah Hogi (1958) 2. ‘Jeet Hi Lenge Baazi Hum Tum’: Shola Aur Shabnam (1961) 3. ‘Mere Chanda Mere Nanhe’: Aakhri Khat (1966) 4. ‘Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein’: Kabhi Kabhie (1975) 5. ‘Tu Mere Saath Rahega Munne’: Trishul (1978) 6. ‘Maana Teri Nazar Mein Tera Pyar Hum Nahin’: Khandaan (1979) 7. ‘Tu Hi Saagar Hai Tu Hi Kinara’: Sankalp (1975) 8. ‘Hazaar Raahein’: Thodisi Bewafaai (1980) 9. ‘Apne Aap Raaton Mein’: Shankar Hussain (1977) 10. ‘Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya’: Baazaar (1982) 11. ‘Kabhi Kissiko Muqammal Jahan Nahin Milta’: Ahista Ahista (1981) 12. ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’: Umrao Jaan (1981) 13. ‘Ae Dil-E-Nadaan’: Razia Sultan (1983) 14. ‘Kuch Aur Behak Jaaon’: Chambal Ki Kasam (1980) 15. ‘Aaja Re Aaja Re Oh Mere Dilbar Aaja’: Noorie (1979) Also Read: My 12 favourites among Khayyam’s exotica https://ift.tt/30msSqm

My 12 favourites among Khayyam’s exotica My 12 favourites among Khayyam’s exotica The late composer Khayyam’s songs were always statements rather than songs. They were, simply. testimonies to his unique approach to music—where the commercial aspect barely mattered, because of his firm conviction that quality led to commercial success, and a reflection of his humble, simple nature that was different from the herd. Speaking objectively, he did become a shade repetitious in some songs in the 1980s (like the similarities between ‘Aankhon Mein Humne Aapke’ from Thodi Si Bewafaii and ‘Aisi Haseen Chandni’ from Dard), but when a composer has begun his career in 1948 with Heer Ranjha (as Sharmaji of the Sharmaji-Varmaji duo!), that small aberration is explained if not expected. And just for the record. Khayyam (like S.D. Burman earlier) first debuted as a playback singer in the 1947 Romeo And Juliet in the Faiz Ahmed Faiz ghazal adaptation, ‘Dono Jahaan Teri Mohabbat’. But this was exotica as a singer. For me, his exotica as a composer was more significant. Here, then, are my 12 favourites. 1 ‘Shaam-E-Gham Ki Kasam’ (Footpath / 1953) Khayyam’s solo debut (with that name) as a composer was in Footpath. His only solo ever for Dilip Kumar, sung by Talat Mahmood, was a huge hit in this Asha Bhosle-dominated score. 2 ‘Aasmaan pe hai Khuda’ (Phir Subah Hogi/ 1958) Reminding us of the playful way in which composers like Shankar-Jaikishan and Laxmikant-Pyarelal made songs once in a way in which they adapted another composer’s trademark styles, Khayyam scored this Raj Kapoor song delightfully in the S-J mould—after all, Raj Kapoor was there! Of course, he had weightier songs in this film in his own tenor, like ‘Phir Na Kije Meri Gustakh Nazar’, ‘Woh Subah Kabhi To Aayegi’ and ‘Chin-O-Arab Hamara’, but this song demonstrated Khayyam’s yen for originality even in an alien zone, so to speak. 3 ‘Jaane Kya Dhoondti Rehti Hai’ & ‘Jeet Hi Lenge Baazi Hum Tum’ (Shola Aur Shabnam / 1962) I take these masterpieces together as I simply cannot choose between these two gems from Dharmendra’s first hit. Dharmendra recalled how Rafi was having high fever when the first of these Kaifi Azmi lovelies was recorded—the second was a duet with Lata Mangeshkar. Not only did these songs establish Rafi as the prime voice of Dharmendra but the actor always marvelled at how Rafi sounded just like him. And we marvelled at Khayyam’s grip on such intense and diverse melody. 4 ‘Tum Apna Ranj-O-Gham Apni Pareshaani Mujhe De Do’ (Shagoon / 1964) The instantly-catchy ‘Parbaton Ke Daero Par’ notwithstanding, it was this quaint and slightly complex composition that stayed on in memory. Sahir’s lyrics highlighted the intense romantic within the poet, and possibly acted as a catalyst for the real romance brewing between Khayyam and his wife Jagjit Kaur, who sang this timeless song. They married in 1965, shared all joys, sorrows (ranj-o-gham), good times and troubles (pareshani) and remained together till the very end when the composer passed away in an adjacent hospital bed! 5 ‘Baharon Mera Jeevan Bhi Sawaaro’ (Aakhri Khat / 1967) Khayyam was chosen for this Chetan Anand film, starring Rajesh Khanna-Indrani Mukherjee, probably for his intensity, and delivered this haunting Lata Mangeshkar number penned by Kaifi Azmi that reverberated across radio stations in those days, though there were a couple of other memorable songs like ‘Aur Kuch Der Thehar’. This was one of the maestro’s instant chartbusters. And yet, inexplicably, Khayyam had no work after this film for five years! 6 ‘Tu hi sagar hai tu hi kinara’ (Sankalp / 1972) Khayyam confidently got Sulakshana Pandit to render a song filmed on her in a cameo, in this devotional with a difference. At this point, we salute the genuinely secular composer whose wife was a Sikh, his only son a practicing Hindu from the age of seven, and whose music room was adorned with a huge picture of Radha-Krishna presented to the composer by the ISKCON Temple in Mumbai as a felicitation. In his house, every day, books of all faiths were read, and prayers offered of all religions! Khayyam’s unforgettable remark on this was: “In the Quran, it has been mentioned that Allah sent a hundred and twenty-four thousand messengers to spread His word on earth. The book mentions a few thousands, so the rest must be from other faiths! I believe that there is one supreme power.” 7 ‘Ae Dil-E-Nadaan’ (Razia Sultan / 1973) Though this ill-fated Dharmendra-Hema Malini film was finally released in 1983 after a decade’s delay, so viral was the spread of this Lata Mangeshkar song after it was recorded and years before the audio release—that too in the pre-digital era!— that I heard it on a tape in 1979! And so much was its impact that Yash Chopra, with Sahir Ludhianvi’s persuasion, decided to sign the composer for Kabhi Kabhie. 8 ‘Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein’ (Kabhi Kabhie / 1976) This was finally the film that made Khayyam a commercially-viable name. “They told me I was right for the love story of a poet!” smiled the composer. The film had almost an all-popular score, but this theme song, actually created for an earlier film, was the trump card and got Mukesh the posthumous Best Singer award. 9 ‘Aaja Re Aaja Re O Mere Dilbar Aaja’ (Noorie / 1979) This was yet another instant chartbuster, and arguably, the first super-hit of Nitin Mukesh, with Lata Mangeshkar as co-singer. Written by Jan Nissar Akhtar, it was a song for all time and remains, as of now, the only Khayyam composition re-created, albeit in a crass way, as a sleazy non-film video! 10 ‘Simti Hui Yeh Ghadiyaan’ (Chambal Ki Kasam / 1980) Khayyam had very little time for Mohammed Rafi in the second half of his career (Shankar Hussain was the only other exception), but this lovely duet with Lata Mangeshkar was among the composer’s haunting best of all time. A placid and almost languorous Sahir masterpiece, the song luckily survived the disastrous fate of this film. 11 ‘In Aankhon Ki Masti Mein’ (Umrao Jaan / 1982) Of all the Asha Bhosle lovelies in this film, this remains the most haunting and thus my favourite, though ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’ is the masses’ darling. The music was released in 1981, but the film came a year later. Umrao Jaan remains among the rare post-1960s films (like Mera Naam Joker) where the music was a super-hit of a cult level but the film a washout. 12 ‘Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya’ (Bazaar / 1982) This, interestingly, remains the only film in which Yash Chopra’s wife Pamela Chopra sang outside the Yash Raj Films banner (in her duet with Jagjit Kaur, ‘Chale Aao Saiyyan Rangeele’. This might have bene the simple Khayyam’s payback to the man who was responsible for his commercially fruitful phase! It also saw the first appearance in cinema of Talat Aziz, who had already recorded another duet with Lata Mangeshkar for Laxmikant-Pyarelal in a K. Vishwanath film that released only in 1996! And while Lata-Talat’s ‘Phir Chhidi Raat Baat Phoolon Ki’ was very popular, the true stunner was this Lata Mangeshkar rendition of a Mir Taqi Mir ghazal.

Lata Mangeshkar on her secret passion, photography Lata Mangeshkar on her secret passion, photography Bet you didn’t know this. But Lata Mangeshkar who is legendary for her singing, is an outstanding photographer. In fact there were exhibitions of her photography when she was younger and so devoted to her Rolleiflex camera it went everywhere with her. “Yes I loved photography. My camera used to be my constant companion everywhere. I’d take it with me to the studio and take pictures of my colleagues at work. I’d click my parents, my sisters and brother at home. I loved photographing the outdoors,” recalls Lataji fondly. So skilled and adept was she at clicking pictures that it was seen as an alternative career for her. “I don’t know what I’d have done if I wasn’t a singer. But photography was definitely a feasible option. It’s a pity that the art of clicking pictures has been replaced by digital photography. People now take all their pictures on their phone. The sheer joy of capturing cameras through the lens of an old-fashioned camera is lost.” Lataji has reams and reams of self-clicked photographs in her home. “It would require weeks if not months to go through my photographs. Maybe someday.” Also Read: “Why should MS Dhoni retire when I haven’t?” – Lata Mangeshkar questions https://ift.tt/30jtNrx

Kajol - Heiress to a rich legacy Kajol - Heiress to a rich legacy DDJL’ The wonderful way how some girls grow up to be mature and mellow women, wives their husbands cannot stop being proud of, mothers worth worshipping, women who set examples for other girls to follow if they have to leave meaningful lives and leave their delicate but strong footsteps behind, become landmarks and even mile stones in the history of time. So much talk only because I have been thinking of the fascinating woman, Kajol long before I began my day today. Kajol, I always wonder why it has always been Kajol and not Kajal. I think it was destined to be like that because this Kajol was not to be like the Kajal and Kajal walking all over, being just faces in the crowd and living meaningless lives. Kajol came to Hindi films with a very strong family background, her grandmother, Shobhana Samarth, a gorgeous goddess of her time, her aunt, Nutan, one of the greatest actresses of Indian cinema, and actress way ahead of her time, her mother, Tanuja, a talent never explored the way it should have. Kajol made a beginning with Bekhudi alongside Kamal Sadanah as her hero, Kamal was out but she was outstanding, she let her sparks flow in all directions. Kajol survived on the sheer strength of her talent alone, she signed films and regretted signing them till she signed ‘DDJL’ and played Simran to be remembered for all time. She then played some powerful female roles in films which had no power to make them or mark them as special. Till she teamed up with the one -time action hero, Ajay who had grown into one of the most powerful and sensitive actors, a man in a class of his own. The two did several films together and discovered how they were made for each other, fell in love, got married and became a star couple to envy, a couple which could prove it was possible to live in love under the most difficult circumstances. Kajol took a break from films and played the best roles of her life as Ajay’s husband and the mother of her their children. Kajol came back with Fanaa and then in her husband’s own film, U Me Aur Hum and was accepted as one of the best actresses in the last three decades or more. She is the most powerful young actress today with the potential to beat all that was in the past, all that is in the present and all that will come in the future, the ‘Kajol’ (kohl) in the eyes of all those and all times who care for and respect talent.

EXCLUSIVE: Nora Fatehi says working with John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani in Batla House has been fulfilling EXCLUSIVE: Nora Fatehi says working with John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani in Batla House has been fulfilling Nora Fatehi is known to create a wildfire each time she brings a sensational dance number to the big screen. Last year, after Satyameva Jayate song 'Dilbar’, the actress became a huge sensation. Since then she has starred in several dance numbers including 'Kamariya' in Stree, now 'O Saki Saki' in Batla House. With John Abraham's latest drama, the actress has ventured into acting space as well. Speaking EXCLUSIVELY to Bollywood Hungama, Nora Fatehi revealed about the positive response she has received for her role in Batla House. "The response for my role in Batla House has been outstanding. People have been extremely supportive, very happy to see in my role. I have been receiving praises left, right and centre, on Instagram, Twitter, from the audience who just tweeted right after watching the film. The critics have praised me so well in their reviews. I really didn't expect that the people have really pinpointed the exact scene they loved me, have praised my dialogue delivery in Hindi to my expressions, to my ability to surprise them even in a small role like this. Even though it's a small role, it's meaty and it's very important and crucial for the film. So, a lot of people were really pleasantly surprised and whether it's the audience in India, abroad, people from Morocco, there are a lot of bloggers who have been discussing this since the film has been released. I am very happy to be able to perform and deliver not just as a dancer in a song but also in a role in a movie because essentially that's what everybody has been waiting for. I think the best feeling is that people were just so happy that the language part was good, the performance part was good. Now, a lot of people are being very supportive and want me to continue on doing more roles in movies in Hindi cinema." Considering Batla House was the first time Nora Fatehi ventured into acting, the overall response has been very positive. "The experience, of course, right now is overwhelming it feels great, so much adrenaline, so much drive to do more. I want to be able to do more roles and I want the audience to see me in different characters, in a different type of movies, in great content. I know now I can do it after Batla House. Now, after this, people have a lot of faith in me that I am able to do it. Just to hear that acceptance for an artiste is huge and that's what we yearn for and that's what we want. I think the difficult part has been crossed. You know it’s not easy for the audience to accept you and embrace you. I crossed that very early, initially when I did songs. It's not easy for an artiste to carry a whole song on her own. When I was shooting for the songs, I was very scared. I wasn't sure whether the audience would accept it. Obviously, after 'Dilbar', I crossed that obstacle. Now, to say as a solo artiste, I can carry a song on my own and draw the audience towards me. That is a huge obstacle which I have overcome. My second obstacle was will people accept me as an actress, as a performer in a role, in a movie? Of course, after the release of Batla House, it's proven that the audience has accepted me, are embracing my skills as an actor and they want to see more of me. It feels really good and now I have the drive to keep pushing and keep going and not stop." The actress further informed how it was a learning curve for her while working with John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani. "Working with John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani is, of course, exciting but more than that, it's fulfilling as an artiste. I learnt so much from them. I learnt what it meant to be on a set of a serious project. I understood different techniques and skills from them, you know, just observing them during this project, I learnt so much. Being able to work with them I felt very lucky. It’s an honour because John Abraham is known for doing the great content film. He is very smart, he understands producing films, producing scripts, and he is mature as an actor and brilliant as an artiste." "Nikkhil Advani sir, he is brilliant in his job. He understands filmmaking and direction and I have learnt so much from him. I want to take this experience with me and grow as an artist and move forward. And of course, if I get to work with them again, I'd be super lucky because it's nothing like working with good people who are very supportive, nice at heart, very nice at understanding. They were very supportive of me and encouraging and that's important for any newcomer. Any new person in the industry, we crave for people like that. And when you do meet people like that, you just feel so lucky," she added. Batla House released on Independence Day 2019. Meanwhile, Nora Fatehi will be next starring in Street Dancer 3D alongside Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. It is set for Republic Day 2019.

In the film Angad being in the shoes of an army officer during the Kargil War, he is required to run over high terrains and hills hence he is preparing himself to execute the scenes perfectly. Since he is playing an army officer physically he is supposed to look like one of them.

It’s the first time that I worked with a team down South, and I was amazed that they work at such a fast pace. They’re so professional and well-prepared. Prabhas rehearsed all his moves with me on the set until he had nailed it.” The first glimpse of the song 'Bad Boy' was shown at the special pre-release event of Saaho in Hyderabad. Since then, fans can't keep calm to witness the magic of Jacqueline and Prabhas together on screen for the first time ever in Saaho.

“I am too small to be compared with Rajamouli sir” - Sujeeth “I am too small to be compared with Rajamouli sir” - Sujeeth The painfully young Saaho director Sujeeth is not scared of comparisons with Baahubali. “I understand Prabhas’ fans want to see a film that will equal Baahubali in scale and content. I hope Saaho doesn’t disappoint. But to compare it with Baahubali is just so impractical. Everything about Saaho is different from Baahubali. That’s how Prabhas Sir wanted it to be. The kind of hard work and dedication he has put into Saaho is hard to find anywhere else. More than anyone else, I want Saaho to work for Prabhas Sir. Then I want it to work for my producers who have been so generous kind and considerate. They never questioned the costs. And even when they did, it was like my mother asking why I spent on such a fancy pair of shows,” says Sujeeth gratefully. Which brings us to Sujeeth’s mother. “She is the third person I want Saaho to succeed for. She has been praying so hard. When she reads some arrogant-sounding statement where I am heard comparing myself to Rajamouli Sir she asks me why I speak like this. The truth is, I don’t speak to the media because I want my work to speak for itself. I’m only one film old. When I got the chance to do Saaho a lot of people advised my producers against it saying I was too young and inexperienced. As for comparing myself to Rajamouli Sir I never did that. And yet there were headlines quoting me as comparing me to Raja Sir,” says Prabhas. And who or what is the fourth reason Sujeeth wants Saaho to succeed? “Me, of course. I’ve worked very hard alongside Prabhas Sir to ensure we’ve made an action film on a par with Hollywood. We are capable, if given the budget. So many of the technicians mentioned in the end-credits of the Hollywood super-hero films are Indians from Bengaluru, Chennai etc. We are capable of doing an Avengers or Fast & Furious. All we need is a producer to trust our vision. And I got it in Saaho.” Reacting to the car chases in Saaho resembling Rohit Shetty’s cinema Sujeeth retorts, “Who doesn’t enjoy watching cars speed and crash? Car crashes have become old now. We’ve used trucks in Saaho. The concept of on-screen grandeur has changed drastically. Earlier audiences were dazzled by the grandeur of Maya Bazaar and Patal Bhairavi. Now they need another kind of optical thrill. I hope we’ve provided it in Saaho.” Also Read: Here’s what Saaho director Sujeeth has to say about comparisons with Prabhas starrer Baahubali! https://ift.tt/2Z9vUwr

VIDEO: Sonnalli Seygall opens up about the time a director asked her to go under the knife for a role VIDEO: Sonnalli Seygall opens up about the time a director asked her to go under the knife for a role Sonnalli Seygall, who was last seen in the Setter, was recently in conversation with Bollywood Hungama. In a freewheeling chat, Sonnalli spoke about her transition from modelling to films and her goals. If that wasn’t all, Sonnalli also revealed that once after auditioning for a film, the director suggested some operation that she should undergo to get the part. Revealing details about this, Sonnalli Seyhall claimed that the incident made her breakdown and cry. “I wouldn’t say traumatic, but I did cry. When you work so hard and give it your all, and when you hear from your peers and people from the industry that you are doing so well, and then you come so close to a good project for which you waited, where the director is good, your part is good, and because of this one thing which is so silly you lose out on a film. That’s when you feel like, 'What the F...'," she said. Back on the work front, Sonnalli Seygall will next be seen in the film Jai Mummy Di sharing screen space with Sunny Singh.

Chhichhore is inspired from his life and times at the engineering college and the film is about campus life in the engineering college. Tahir wanted to study and soak in college life and see the inter-personal dynamics of various hostels from close quarters before he started filming. Tahir says, “I moved to IIT Bombay to spend a week at the hostel before the filming began. I internalise every role that I do and my creative process sees me immerse myself with the setting and the character that I have at hand. I worked out at the same gym as the students and ate in their canteens to get a feel of their campus life. I studied the young students closely and observed the dynamics between hostels. Moving to the campus made me ready to play the role of an engineering college student and I’m hoping that the audiences will connect with Derek.” The actor also reveals that living and shooting in IIT-B was uncanny for him. “Mood indigo, the IIT-B cultural festival is coincidentally also where I performed theatre for the first time as part of my Delhi college theatre group. This was the place where the germ of becoming an actor was set for me. This shoot was like life coming a full circle!” he says. Tahir adds, “What’s further uncanny is that my opening scene in Chhichhore is also shot in the same corridor where I lived in when he travelled to IIT Bombay as a college theatre student! What are the chances! I think I was destined to do this role and revisit the campus that I so fondly remember. This film will always be one of the most cherished movies of my career." Tahir plays the role of Derek, Nitesh’s real-life senior in his engineering college. Looks like Derek was an extremely close friend of Nitesh and had a big impact on his life for the director to keep him in the film. We hear the original Derek was an extremely driven and passionate sportsman who excelled in whichever sporting discipline he competed and he did his hostel and college proud.

When Mudassar Aziz gifted Rs. 500 to Ananya Panday for her performance When Mudassar Aziz gifted Rs. 500 to Ananya Panday for her performance Ananya Panday will next be seen in Pati Patni Aur Woh with Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar. The actress is just one movie old so far and has been bagging some big brands right after her debut film. She is currently in Lucknow on a month-long schedule for the film and the stars are having a gala time shooting for the same. She recently opened up about an incident where the director Mudassar Aziz gifted her Rs. 500 because he liked her performance. During one of the scenes, she was required to just react to Kartik’s dialogues. Those scenes, according to her are the most difficult to shoot. She managed to shoot the scene and after completing the shoot, Mudassar walked up to her and gave her a 500 rupee note as a gift because he had really liked her performance. She was elated to have received it as a blessing. She even had the chance to meet her father in Lucknow, who was shooting for Jawaani Deewani and the two had a meal together after 45 days!

EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan to start shooting for Inshallah on August 21 EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan to start shooting for Inshallah on August 21 Nonsensical reports suggesting that the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new opus Inshallah has been delayed can now be put to rest. It has been reliably confirmed that this eagerly awaited Salman Khan-Alia Bhatt starrer starts shooting from August 21. A source close to the development informs, “There are reports in a section of the press that Inshallah is delayed because of the shooting of Dabangg 3. All rubbish! The shooting starts as per schedule on August 21.” According to sources from Bhansali Productions, “Salman and Alia have met for a number of readings. They look fabulous together.” Alia was apprehensive about her own responses when she would come face to face with the temperamental Salman. She had hoped she wouldn’t behave like a fangirl. But the ‘awe’ soon thawed and melted, and Salman and Alia are now all set to be part of one of the most beautiful love stories ever put on celluloid in Hindi cinema.

Sidharth Malhotra is enjoying his stint as the 'man in uniform' in Shershaah Sidharth Malhotra is enjoying his stint as the 'man in uniform' in Shershaah There are some men in the industry who come across as a natural when it comes to enacting the part of 'men in uniform'. Be it Salman Khan [Dabangg], Ajay Devgn [Singham] or Ranveer Singh [Simmba], they came across as quite convincing when they played a cop. As for Akshay Kumar, he has played a cop or an army officer in umpteenth number of films and would soon be getting into the uniform again in Sooryavanshi. Meanwhile, another actor who is enjoying playing the part of an army officer is Sidharth Malhotra. Currently shooting for Shershaah, Sidharth is practically living the life of Captain Vikram Batra, an officer of the Indian Army, who was martyred in the line of duty during the 1999 Kargil war. "The kind of person that Sidharth boasts of, he is just the right choice when it comes to playing the part of an Army officer," comments an observer, "There is certain authenticity factor that he brings on screen due to his towering personality. Moreover, there is this whole likeability factor which makes him special. Right from the days of Student of the Year where he played a college youngster to the grey shades that he demonstrated in Aiyaary to being a closet villain in Ittefaq, he has always come across as pretty charming regardless of his characterization." This was quite apparent in Aiyaary as well where he played an army officer who went rogue. As Major Jai Bakshi, he took some steps of his own which were questionable in the eyes of law. However he came up with justifications of his own. "However, this shouldn't be a point of contention in Shershaah as we are talking about a national hero," says a source attached to the film, "Everyone has heard of what Captain Vikram Batra did for our country when the chips were down during the Kargil war. However, there is still so much more that audiences need to know. In Sidharth Malhotra, we have the perfect actor to bring it all perfectly right on screen and establish an audience connect. There are very few actors who look comfortable in their skin while donning a uniform. Sidharth is one of them." We agree!

Deepika Padukone opens up about the use of prosthetics to play acid attack survivour in Chhapaak Deepika Padukone opens up about the use of prosthetics to play acid attack survivour in Chhapaak Meghna Gulzar's directorial Chhapaak, which is creating an uproar across quarters for its versatile narrative, stars Deepika Padukone and is based on the true story of an acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. The film features Deepika Padukone alongside Vikrant Massey. For the film, Deepika Padukone had spent a lot of time with Laxmi Agarwal to get to know her story. Even for her role, she had a lot of prosthetics on her face. Recently, during an interview with PorterEdit, when asked how she felt seeing heavily scarred face after the prosthetics, she said, “I felt like myself. It made me realise how you look externally is such a small, irrelevant part of what you are. I think people would expect me to be horrified. Or emotional. Or scared. But I was at complete ease with the way I was, with the way I looked and felt.” Chhapaak, which highlights the life of an acid attack survivor puts forth the confidence of the victim to be taken as a lesson and makes her an inspiration for those who have faced a similar situation. Helmed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is all set to release on 10th January 2020. ALSO READ: Deepika Padukone reveals what kind of gifts Ranveer Singh is into https://ift.tt/2TGWmN1

"Why should MS Dhoni retire when I haven’t?” - Lata Mangeshkar questions "Why should MS Dhoni retire when I haven’t?” - Lata Mangeshkar questions The peerless Lata Mangeshkar, who is now approaching 90, says artistes never retire. “It is not something one switches on or off. If you are a dancer or a singer, you are one for all your life. it consumes every breath of your life, gives you a sense of identity. What am I today, if not s singer? I owe everything to the talent I have and the same goes for every artiste. Nurture preserve and respect your talent. It is your gift from God,” says the mighty Mangeshkar who started singing professionally when she was 12. “It was a necessity. My father left us when he was very young. I had a mother and four siblings to look after. Main nikal padi (I began my journey). I never had to face many of the hardships and discomforts that working girls face. I consider myself very fortunate. The ‘struggle’ that you and my well-wishers see was nothing but the signal from God to work hard. Nothing comes easy in life,” says Lataji, who by the grace of God, is in good health even at 90, and far from retirement. Says the Bharat Ratna and recipient of scores of awards from the world over. “Even today, I feel like a student of music. I have so much to learn when I compare myself to great musicians of our country. Which is why I say, there is no retirement for an artiste until he or she lives.” Lataji cites the example of the indefatigable ‘B’ factor of Bollywood. “Look at Bachchan Saab. At 75, he continues to be one of the busiest actors in the country. He is an inspiration for the entire nation. Which is why I feel so strongly about Dhoniji. He has so much more to give to cricket. Retirement would be unfair not just to him, but to his fans and admirers and younger generations that look up to him.” Also Read: “Killing celebrities on social media must stop” – Lata Mangeshkar https://ift.tt/2N7Rnn8

Adnan Sami shuts down trolls who criticized him for not wishing Pakistan on their Independence Day Adnan Sami shuts down trolls who criticized him for not wishing Pakistan on their Independence Day With the current situation going on between the neighboring countries after the scrapping of Article 370, we were expecting the trolls to target Adnan Sami. The singer switched his nationality and took up the Indian citizenship a few years ago and has been on the hit list of trolls ever since. Time and again, he has been questioned as to why he left Pakistan and this time too, he has shut down the trolls with the utmost class and a dash of sass. There were some people who asked him as to why he did not wish Pakistan a happy independence day on 14th August while the others were glad that Pakistan got rid of him. Being the sass master that he is, Adnan politely replied to the trolls shutting them down yet again and it was a delight to read his replies. Take a look at some of them.

Revealing why she turned down Hate Story 3, Sonnalli Seygall added, “I am waiting to prove myself. I have done theatre and I have come prepared. I have been very clear about what I don’t want to do, and I have said these are the kinds of films I have said no to and some have been big film. Hate Story 3, is something that I said no to, since it was something that I don’t think I can do. I have nothing against the bold content or anything, so as to say, but I feel that in our country you get typecast very soon, and you don’t get a lot of changes. I would rather do a Setters or a High Jack that I did, than do a Hate Story at this point”.

Vaani Kapoor followed this workout plan to get a HOT BIKINI bod for War Vaani Kapoor followed this workout plan to get a HOT BIKINI bod for War War could be the biggest showdown of two of the biggest action superstars of our time – Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, but the film’s heroine Vaani Kapoor is also turning many heads with her smoking hot body and fitness levels. Vaani sizzled in her teaser of the film and her trainer Yasmin Karachiwala gave us the entire lowdown on how the actress put in 10 weeks of rigorous training to get in perfect shape for the film. “I think it's fair to say that anyone who wants to achieve a bikini body and look good on screen has to be extremely dedicated to their workout and to themselves and Vaani was very, very dedicated. She worked out every single day, for 10 weeks. Her level of commitment was tremendous and I think it shows in the look that she has in War,” says Yasmin, who is one of the top celebrity fitness trainers of the country. “Vaani's workouts consisted of pilates and the gym and then cardio. In pilates, I devised different programs, which was circuit training in pilates, functional training in pilates. I made 20:20:20 workout, where she worked out for 20 min of the leg, 20 min of abdominals, 20 mins on the upper body. We also worked on different machines: the reformer, the Cadillac, the Bodhi, the Chair, the Motor, mat exercises, the CoreAlign. We also did a beach body circuit in pilates,” Yasmin reveals. She added, “In the gym, she either did heavy weight training, which was the body part training and functional training on other days. I tried to mix it up with TRX, Bodhi, power pilate, medicine balls, swiss balls. We tried to work on the skill mill, the tread climber, the treadmill, the elliptical for cardiovascular training and even on the adrenaline bike. Basically, her workout was different every single day because we never allowed the body to anticipate what she was going to do and I kept changing her workout and I think that worked best on her body and that's how she derived the bikini body!” War will be a feast for action lovers globally. Touted as the biggest action entertainer of the year, this Yash Raj Films’ high-octane production is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.

Bhushan Kumar brings Vicky Kaushal and Nora Fatehi together for a passionate single, 'Pachtaoge' Bhushan Kumar brings Vicky Kaushal and Nora Fatehi together for a passionate single, 'Pachtaoge' Off late, we have seen Vicky Kaushal play a patriotic hero but what would we not do to see him play a passionate man, madly in love! The wait seems to be over with T-Series’ new single, 'Pachtaoge'. Love never showed more sincerity than Vicky and betrayal never had a more beautiful face than Nora Fatehi’s, the wonderful performers who have teamed up for the music video which will release on August 23rd. Composer B Praak’s haunting music combined with Arijit Singh’s achingly passionate voice and Jaani’s evocative lyrics take the track notches higher. Director Arvindr Khaira says “It was lovely shooting this with Vicky and Nora, they’re both great performers. We wanted the look and feel of the video to reflect the emotions in the song. Shimla’s cobbled streets and architecture seemed like the ideal backdrop to set our story against,” he says. One of the highlights of the video is the sizzling chemistry between the on-screen couple and producer Bhushan Kumar says he couldn’t be happier bringing Vicky and Nora together for the single. “It’s been a while that we saw a music video which is so passionate and packs in so much intensity. Vicky and Nora have done a wonderful job,” says the music czar. The actors, too, are glad they got a chance to show a different side of their acting repertoire. “This year the audience gets to slowly see my acting abilities with projects such as Batla House and the forthcoming Street Dancer 3D! I’ve been waiting for such opportunities to come my way as I’ve always wanted to be an actress. Now, with a project like Pachtaoge, I got to purely showcase my acting skills to another level. I would like to thank T-Series and Bhushan Kumar sir for letting me be part of this performance-based music video. I am also excited to work with Vicky Kaushal, who is such a celebrated actor. 'Pachtaoge' is surely a step forward in my career and hopefully will be a pleasant surprise for the audience,” says a delighted Nora. Vicky Kaushal, too, is all praise for his co-star. “This is the first time I have shot for a single and who better than T- Series and Bhushan Kumar to collaborate with. It was a memorable experience shooting with Nora in Shimla. She's a person who radiates positivity. We had a lot of fun shooting with her. When I heard the song for the first time, I heard it ten times in one go! I've been following B Praak and Jaani's work for long and I was happy to work with them,” he smiles, adding that “it’s an honour to be associated with the music label.” We just can’t wait for August 23rd now!

Chhichhore cast underwent behavioural workshop to play 50-year-olds on screen Chhichhore cast underwent behavioural workshop to play 50-year-olds on screen Dangal fame director Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Chhichhore spans 25 years as Sushant Singh Rajput, Shraddha Kapoor and other characters evolve from being college students to middle-aged people. Director Nitesh Tiwari made them undergo behavioural workshop so that they were convincing as 50-year-olds on screen. The key cast members including Varun Sharma and Tahir Raj Bhasin are shown in their early 30s. Talking about the creative process, Nitesh Tiwari says, "It was important for each actor to age differently basis their psychological transformation. So, we sat down and wrote the journey of each character — what has he done in the last 25 years and how it has impacted him emotionally. For instance, Anni [Rajput's character] used to be inquisitive and a thinker in his college days. But the circumstances that he faced later on in life made him vulnerable and empathetic. Shraddha's character becomes more subdued, unlike the chirpy girl she was in college. So, we charted out character graphs and made my actors understand what stage of life they were at." Interestingly, Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor undergo seven-day behavioural workshop to play 50-somethings, convincingly in Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore. Before the film went on floors last October, Nitesh Tiwari and his core team of five assistants conducted workshops to help the actors to understand the progression of their characters. The team held three-hour-long sessions for a week with the cast where the focus was on their behavioural changes and body language. Not only the physical aspect side, but director Nitesh Tiwari also wanted them to understand the emotional graph of their respective characters and how that impacts their demeanour. The movie stars an ensemble cast of Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor along with Varun Sharma, Prateik Babbar, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Naveen Polishetty, and Nalneesh Neel. Chhichhore marks the coming together of Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star Studios after they delivered the hits Judwaa 2 and Baaghi 2, together. Fox Star Studio presents A Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Production, Chhichhore, directed by Nitesh Tiwari is all set to hit the theatres on 6th September 2019.

We have learned that Arjun will be smartly using his social media to start a unique digital property called Arjun Recommends and hopes that it will become a one-stop-shop for everyone looking to find good content on television, OTT or at the cinemas. “I have grown-up being a cinephile and a binge-watcher seeking good content to watch, learn and enjoy something new and path-breaking. And I have always recommended them to my friends and family who have also loved my suggestions. The germ of this idea actually came from their reactions. I treat my social media followers as my family and I wanted to start a digital property through which I would jam with them more intimately and share my recommendations to them. There is such outstanding content to watch and I do feel I must share this information with people who also want to see disruptive and quality content,” said Arjun “Titled Arjun Recommends, the tonality of this video property will be super chilled, super casual as if I’m sitting in my living room and having a conversation with my friends. The idea is to keep it relaxed and indulgent as I discuss the content piece that I have come across and told everyone why I’m recommending this to them. It’s an extremely personal social media property for like-minded people to jam on the superb content from across the world that’s available for all of us to see. Through this property I also hope that people from the world over also recommend content for me to see and get inspired,” Arjun adds.

Exclusive: Alia Bhatt to bake a cake with a chef for Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula’s Fankind Exclusive: Alia Bhatt to bake a cake with a chef for Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula’s Fankind Anshula Kapoor launched her celebrity-fan engagement platform, Fankind, to raise money for charities with Varun Dhawan, last week, on social media and the website next will release Alia Bhatt’s campaign for the same where her fans can donate on the platform for an opportunity to bake a cake with the actress. A host of Bollywood stars including Sonakshi Sinha, Kriti Sanon, Badshah, filmmaker Karan Johar have agreed to come on board and provide fan experiences this year. Fankind will introduce a new experience on the website every three weeks. After Alia there is a YouTuber called MostlySane (Prajakta) and Sonakshi Sinha.” Every experience is uniquely interesting. Varun’s campaign launched on August 5 and will be on till September 18. Fans can donate for a chance to play an exciting game of paintball with him. Alia’s campaign is launching on Sunday. When a celebrity campaign goes live, it is for 40-45 days on the website for people to come and donate and participate. Alia’s campaign will open for donations on August 18, and end on October 1. Fans can donate as many times as they want to in this duration for a chance to bake a cake with her. For every Rs 300, they have 1 chance of baking a cake with her. Once Alia agreed to come on board, she jammed with Anshula to lock on a fun experience to share with her fans. Alia chose “baking a cake with a fan”. There will even be a pastry chef at the actual experience with the Fan and Alia to make sure it is a fun day of baking – and chef extraordinaire Pooja Dhingra has agreed to be part of the experience. Anshula says, “I am extremely excited to have Alia on board Fankind. She made time to shoot the promotional bytes in between major commitments and I am so thankful that she and her team could include Fankind in her schedule. This just goes to show the love she has for her fans and how passionate she is about wanting to help raise money and awareness for animal welfare as a cause”. Alia’s campaign ends on October 1, so after all the donations have come in, a winner is chosen fairly by a 3rd party unbiased agency, and after that is when the actual experience with the fan will take place. Fankind will fly the winner and a guest of their choice to Mumbai to make sure they meet Alia and bake the cake with her. They even take care of their travel and hotel stay for that day. Talking about a unique concept for each celebrity Anshula says, “The team and the celebrity collaboratively come up with an experience that they are more than happy to share with their fans. We then attach each experience to a charity that the celebrity has been supporting through the years, like Alia has been associated with World For All for the past few years, or to a cause they really care about. From each campaign, effectively 70 per cent is directly donated to charity, and goes directly to an NGO’s bank account and the user gets an 80G tax exempt certificate also as soon as they transact on Fankind.” Anshula aims to offer at least 30 experiences with celebrities so that Fankind can raise funds for at least 30 NGOs in the first year. As of today, they have confirmations for 15 campaigns. There is Varun, Alia, Badshah, Kriti Sanon, Sonakshi Sinha, Karan Johar, – and a bunch of celebrities from different walks of life, including sports. Talking of Varun’s contribution to her cause, Anshula says, “Varun (Dhawan) is wonderful. He was the first person to say yes to Fankind. As soon as I told him, his first words were ‘done. I want to do something to help the farmers’. The NGO that we are helping raise funds for is ManavLok and they have been doing a lot of great work to help farmers in Maharashtra. Varun genuinely loves meeting his fans so the paintball experience is also something he is very, very excited about.” Explaining the thought behind such a wonderful campaign, Anshula says, “I have seen the amount of unconditional fan love my family receives, and the love has somehow even trickled down to me. I have had Arjun bhaiya’s fans do the sweetest things for me on my birthday and I am so grateful for their love. I wanted to do something which can help them meet their favourite celebrities and help us raise money for the NGOs in our country that are already doing so much good work. The thought started with how do I help NGOs raise money and that slowly metamorphosed into what Fankind is today – a combination of helping fans create magical memories with their favourite celebrities and helping NGOs raise funds." Do we expect to see the Kapoor khandaan too on Fankind? Anshula says, “I have the support of everyone who is part of the Kapoor family, including Arjun bhaiya, dad, Anil chachu, Janhvi, Rhea, Sonam didi, and I am sure eventually we will do an experience with each one of them on Fankind.” Also Read: Alia Bhatt finds her on-screen father in Bengali actor Jisshu Sengupta for Sadak 2 https://ift.tt/2TCsK3f

Independence Day 2019: From Vicky Kaushal to Akshay Kumar to John Abraham, here are all the stars who have been a part of patriotic movies this year Independence Day 2019: From Vicky Kaushal to Akshay Kumar to John Abraham, here are all the stars who have been a part of patriotic movies this year Over the years, the film industry has made umpteen number of patriotic films. It has been based on the army, navy, historical figures or real-life heroes. This year itself, many mainstream actors have been a part of patriotic films. On Independence Day 2019, we have listed out all the patriotic films that have released this year until now. Vicky Kaushal in Uri: The Surgical Strike The film is based on the surgical strikes that were carried out by the Indian Army after the September 2016 attacks in Uri, Kashmir. It was termed as one of the deadliest attacks in Indian history. Vicky Kaushal headlined the Aditya Dhar directorial as Major Vihaan Shergill and ended up winning National Award for Best Actor. His performance was not only appreciated by the critics, but even the audience also lauded his work and the film went onto become the first blockbuster of 2019. Kangana Ranaut in Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi Kangana Ranaut starred in one of the highly anticipated films of the year in which she essayed the role of Rani Lakshmi Bai. Kangana delivered one of the finest performances in her career which was not only challenging but she also did justice to the role. While the film underwent a lot of changes, but both Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi and Kangana Ranaut's direction were appreciated. Akshay Kumar in Kesari Akshay Kumar essayed the role of Havildar Ishar Singh, the leader of the 1897 Battle of Saragarhi. Kesari, directed by Anurag Singh, was a story of bravery and valour. And once again, the superstar delivered a spectacular performance as he shined in every scene. From getting into the skin of the character to his entire look, it was definitely one of the best performances in his career. Ayushmann Khurrana in Article 15 Ayushmann Khurrana kickstarted the year with the hard-hitting drama in which he played the role of IPS officer Ayan Ranjan. The story revolved around caste-related crimes and was loosely inspired by events like the Badaun rape case and Una flogging incident. The film turned out to be very gripping and Anubhav Sinha brought a very relevant story on the big screen. Ayushmann moved away from quirky roles for a serious drama and excelled in every way possible. He is indeed the modern-day hero we all need. John Abraham in Batla House John Abraham has been choosing scripts that he would like to his fans to watch. And once again, this Nikkhil Advani directorial is a real-life tale of officer Sajeev Kumar Yadav who spearheaded the controversial Batla House encounter. The film is set to release on Independence Day 2019 but earlier previews reveal that this is indeed John's finest performance till date. It is his show all the way and his character really keeps you hooked to the screens. Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Nithya Menen, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari in Mission Mangal Akshay Kumar has been bringing real life stories to the big screen for a while now. After Airlift, Rustom, Pad Man, Kesari, the actor is co-producing the film Mission Mangal which is being headlined by Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Nithya Menen, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari. The film is the story of the women who helped in the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also called Mangalyaan, carried out by a team of scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). With the mission, India became the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the first nation in the world to do so in its maiden attempt. It is releasing on Independence Day 2019.

“Sitara is a full-on star”, says Namrata Shirodkar “Sitara is a full-on star”, says Namrata Shirodkar Mahesh Babu and his wife Namrata Shirodkar’s 7-year old daughter Sitara is breaking the internet with her dance performance to her father’s song Paala pitta from the film Maharshi. Proud mother Namrata just can’t stop smiling. “She is quite the star, though it doesn’t necessarily mean she wants to be an actress when she grows up. At her age there are so many things she wants to be all at once. Right now her favourite star is the YouTuber Leah Ashe. Sitara just idolizes this girl whom we know nothing about. Sitara wants to be exactly like her. It’s Leah this and Leah that.” So is Sitara Mama’s or Papa’s girl? “Totally Papa’s girl and she bullies her big brother like no one’s business. Our son Gautam is just her opposite. Quiet, shy, withdrawn and like his father, not demonstrative of his affections. This one (Sitara) is a full-on Drama Queen. She loves to sing and dance and show the world how good she is at it.” Namrata and Mahesh have made no plans for their children as yet. Says Namrata, “They are free to pursue whatever course in life they want. But for now, I am trying to provide them a normal healthy life free of starry trappings. It is very important for Gautam and Sitara to lead a normal life. Thank God we don’t have the paparazzi chasing down star-kids in Hyderabad. The important thing right now is for both my children to get a solid education. After that if they want to be in movies, why not? Their parents are actors. Their grandfather is an iconic figure in the Andhra movie industry. Cinema is part of their genes.” Coming back to Sitara’s popular internet-breaking dance number her proud mother says the pretty little girl practised hard for it. “Both Gautam and Sitara attend dance classes regularly. Sitara bullied her way into her brother’s dance time by telling their dance teacher how important it was to learn these dance steps. I tell you, this girl can get her way in anything while Gautam would just let everyone around him have their way.” Also Read: “Sanju knew about Mahesh Babu,” Namrata Shirodkar talks fondly about Sanjay Dutt on his 60th birthday https://ift.tt/31FTnr4

Here’s why Bhushan Kumar decided to make John Abraham starrer Batla House Here’s why Bhushan Kumar decided to make John Abraham starrer Batla House Over the years, T-Series’ head honcho Bhushan Kumar has made it a habit of not only making films that strike a chord with the masses but also leave an impact. His upcoming action-thriller Batla House starring John Abraham is no different and has been making the right noise ever since it was announced. Inspired by the Operation Batla House, which took place in 2008 against Indian Mujahideen terrorists in Batla House locality in Jamia Nagar, Delhi, Batla House traces the story of the shootout between a seven-member Delhi Police Special Cell team and suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists allegedly involved in the serial blasts of September 13, 2008, in Delhi. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, this fictionalized account of the most controversial encounters in India, is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of the year, and producer Bhushan Kumar, whose production company T-Series is producing the film, is extremely excited to present the film to the audience. Revealing his reasons to produce this film in the first place, Bhushan Kumar said, “First and foremost, what made me associate with this project was Ritesh Shah’s script. He has done thorough research about this entire episode and has weaved all the facts together in an engaging narrative. The film starts with a bang and maintains the tempo throughout. Secondly, I strongly felt that it is an important story that needs to be told, especially because of what happened after the encounter. It is a very sensitive case with two sides to it and we have tried to cover everything in this film and have kept it real.” He further adds, “Interestingly, despite being based on a real encounter, Batla House has a strong mass appeal to it too.” Apart from Batla House, Bhushan Kumar, who certainly knows the pulse of the audience, is also producing a series of other interesting films including a biographical drama – Mogul, a coming-of-age dance film – Street Dancer 3D, a war drama film – Bhuj: The Pride Of India among others. Clearly, the man believes not just in quality but variety too as he is producing films in several genres.

Dream Girl Trailer Launch: Ayushmann Khurrana says Shah Rukh Khan's character in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa would be his dream role Dream Girl Trailer Launch: Ayushmann Khurrana says Shah Rukh Khan's character in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa would be his dream role Ayushmann Khurrana is the modern-day hero that everyone relates to. Now, he is a National Award winner with his brilliant performance in Andhadhun. After the hard-hitting drama Article 15, the actor is set for an upcoming comedy Dream Girl starring alongside Nushrat Bharucha. The trailer was unveiled on August 12 in which Ayushmann beautifully transforms into the skin of a woman, through his voice. Talking about winning National Award at the trailer launch, Ayushmann Khurrana said, "It is overwhelming. It feels surreal. I still have butterflies in my stomach. It adds responsibility on me, too. My approach towards work has always been serious and, even though I am not very serious person in real life, I have always approached scripts with that mentality and sensibility. It has worked till now; I hope it works in the future as well." Talking about his dream role, he said, "When you come to Mumbai, you create a certain perception in your mind because you've grown up on Hindi films. I thought Shah Rukh Khan's character in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na would be my dream role. Then I thought Aamir's character in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and even Amitabh sir's character in Shakti was my dream role." "I never thought I would arrive as a sperm donor and then do Dream Girl or an Article 15. The script writers today think ten steps ahead of perhaps what I can think. They surprise you with different characters," he added. "After hearing the script, I felt there is only one actor who could pull off the kind of voice modulation that the role required. I told (director) Raaj (Shaandilyaa) that he (Ayushmann) bets on scripts, he will not see how big the director is or how many films he has done. He will only read the script," said Ekta Kapoor, at the film's trailer launch. She further added, "It takes a lot to play a woman, and he has that ability. You have to be a really talented man to play a woman." Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl stars Nushrat Bharucha, Manjot Singh, Annu Kapoor and Abhishek Banerjee in key roles. The rom-com is slated to release on September 13. ALSO READ: Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl to have a 5-city trailer launch! https://ift.tt/2ZXXTkf

WAR: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff perform DEADLY bike crash stunt! WAR: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff perform DEADLY bike crash stunt! Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, two of the biggest action heroes of our generation, are pitted against each other for a massive showdown in YRF’s visual extravaganza War. The action entertainer will see the two superstars going after each other as they pull off jaw-dropping, death-defying stunts in a bid to win over each other. One such deadly bike chase sequence will see Tiger and Hrithik crash through glass window panes! Director Siddharth Anand says, “This was an incredibly high-risk scene as my actors could have got severely injured had anyone single detail not worked perfectly. It’s a high-speed bike chase scene that will see Hrithik riding a superbike and Tiger chasing him on foot. It needed Tiger to showcase his parkour prowess to time his jump perfectly so that he crashes into Hrithik and both of them break through glass window panes! On top of that, we conceptualized this beat at a blind spot, a juncture where two lanes meet so both Hrithik and Tiger couldn’t time their movement by looking at each other!” He adds, “Though all safety precautions were in place, the scene definitely needed their focus, their razor-sharp instinct and their trust in each other as actors to pull it off. We were all praying that everything goes as per plan. Hrithik and Tiger have incredible camaraderie and faith in each other and people will see that when they watch this film. They are two of the biggest action heroes of India and there is a reason why they are loved so much because they put their body on the line to entertain audiences. I’m thankful to them for pulling off these risky stunts that has made War such a visual spectacle.” Produced by Yash Raj Films, the high-octane film War that also stars Vaani Kapoor opposite Hrithik Roshan, is set to release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on the big National Holiday of Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.

"The National Award for Music Composition is very precious to me," Sanjay Leela Bhansali revives era of filmmaker-composer "The National Award for Music Composition is very precious to me," Sanjay Leela Bhansali revives era of filmmaker-composer When Sanjay Leela Bhansali heard the news that he had been awarded the National award for best music composer for his songs and background music in Padmaavat it was like a long-cherished dream come true. "I've always wanted to be recognized for my work as a music composer. Ever since I started officially composing my own songs in Ram Leela, it's been new journey, a new avenue of exploration for me." Sanjay is now busy composing the music for his new directorial venture Inshallah where the songs and music will be filmed on Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt. You may think Sanjay Leela Bhansali had no film on release in 2019. But you are wrong. The maestro of operatic moviemaking has been very busy for the last one year after the completion of his last directorial epic Padmaavat. He was busy composing music for his production Malaal which launched the careers of Meezaan Jaaferi (son of Javed Jafferi) along with Sharmin Segal who is Bhansali’s niece. Bhansali says it wasn’t easy doing music for a film that was directed by another director (Mangesh Hadawale. “I had to constantly keep Mangesh’s vision in mind while creating the songs. It was a tightrope walk. While my own visions as a composer prodded awake the songs, they finally had to convey what the director wanted.” Extra care over the songs since Malaal is his niece’s debut? Bhansali disagrees on that. “No, I think the process of creating a film score for me is not incumbent on whom it is being done for. For me the songs in Ram Leela, Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani are as precious as the songs I’ve created for the two very talented newcomers in Malaal, or for that matter , the music I am creating for the next film I’m directing Inshallah.” Are we moving towards a trend of film directors serving as their own music providers? Satyajit Ray is the only example of a major filmmaker in the past who composed music for his own films. Says Bhansali, “There is a genuine music composer dormant in many filmmakers. Raj Saab (Raj Kapoor) used to compose a lot of his music in his own head. Then he would share his creations with Shankar-Jaikishan who would then mould the compositions into a sophisticated work of art. Another great filmmaker, the underrated Raj Khosla was a singer-composer who collaborated with Laxmikant-Pyarelal for some fabulous music.” As a music composer, Bhansali admits his greatest inspiration impetus and motivator is Lata Mangeshkar. “My greatest compliment as a music composer came to me from my idol Lataji for the music of Bajirao Mastani. Lataji has inspired all my films. She told me that the Latpat latpat opening of my ‘Pinga’ song was from her song in V Shantaram’s Amar Bhoopali. Lataji said she liked my songs and the way I’ve filmed them. Then she affectionately said, ‘Aapne mera Latpat latpat utha liya.’ I humbly submit that it is indeed true.” Bhansali says there are other influences simmering seductively in the soundtrack. “I am also proud to say that the number ‘Deewani Mastani’ is completely inspired by Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s style of composition. Bajirao Mastani is a tribute to the voice of Lataji, the music of Laxmikant-Pyarelal and the cinema of K Asif and V Shantaram. I am very proud to have absorbed all these influences.” Also Read: 7 facts about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt you don’t know https://ift.tt/33tOHWS

The 5 Real release clashes The 5 Real release clashes “This Independence Day, the winner will be the audience!” declared John Abraham about the impending “clash” between his Batla House and dear friend Akshay Kumar’s Mission Mangal. Two content-heavy entertainers, with all the mega-voltage thrust of powerful storylines and star-power, are definitely in store for viewers. It is rarely that there are two releases whose trailers as well as vibe promise so much of substance and fuel the desire to watch “ASAP”! In that sense, the Mission Mangal - Batla House clash is truly one of the rare real clashes in Hindi cinema. So what do we mean by a real clash? Quite simply, it means a scenario (pun intended) when one film gives a very, very tough fight to the co-release, ending in either a win-win situation or one movie’s remarkable victory in an unequal battle. Here, then, are the five true-blue clashes in contemporary times: 1. Dil & Ghayal (1990): Both were non-festival releases. The former romantic melodrama had the edge because of various reasons: the upwardly-mobile Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit, a hit music score and it was a trendy romance when action as a genre was in second place to love stories. The actioner Ghayal, however, made up with its intensity, its real (they called it “topical” then!) touch, Sunny Deol’s angst-packed action and an on-screen conflict with Amrish Puri. Both films enjoyed a Golden Jubilee run. 2. Phool Aur Kaante & Lamhe (1991): Post-Diwali, these two films clashed, interestingly, with Lamhe releasing a day earlier. This was a Yash Chopra biggie, released just after his blockbuster Chandni was fresh in everyone’s memory. This time, Chandni Sridevi had a dual role, the story was novel, the film was shot abroad, and the music a hit. By contrast, Phool Aur Kaante marked the directorial debut of Kuku Kohli, and was an action-packed love story with a new (and not very conventional-looking) hero in Ajay Devgn and another fresh face—Madhoo. All it had to score were Nadeem-Shravan’s hit songs and a rare intensity in its script and the action (coordinated by the hero’s father Veeru Devgan). The mass-appeal of the film took on the classy drama and knocked it out of the race, as Lamhe had to make do with critical acclaim and a promise of longevity. 3. Lagaan & Gadar—Ek Prem Katha (2001): Again the release was on a non-festival date, with the monsoon fury lashing Mumbai, and again Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol came in. This was probably the first time that two patriotic films clashed. To be fair, Lagaan did well only in Mumbai and overseas (the perception then was that a film that was a hit in Mumbai was a hit!) while Gadar led the entire decade in theatrical footfalls and revenues, and inflation-adjusted, even towered above 3 Idiots released in 2009. However, Lagaan remains high in status, and we do not mean the Oscar short-listing alone. It occupies pride of place among the epic dramas of the times for its superb atmosphere and performances, and has emerged as a cult film. On a far more massy scale, Gadar remains a cult and historic milestone in Hindi cinema too. As director Anil Sharma put it a decade later, “The interval point of Gadar came at almost 1.45 hours, when most movies now end. But the audience did not move out as they did not want to miss even a minute when the film started again.” So this really was a clash of the “giants”, as both films were three hours plus! 4. Tum Bin & Aks (2001): It was almost dismissed as a joke—a T-Series small film, Tum Bin, pitted against a big Amitabh Bachchan thriller in Aks. Tum Bin introduced director Anubhav Sinha, now known for substantial cinema like Mulk and Article 15. This homespun drama of three men in a girl’s life (the cast was all new) was accepted in the face of the surreal and highly offbeat Amitabh Bachchan-Raveena Tandon-Manoj Bajpayee-heavy film. Within days, it was Aks that became the joke—an unwieldy Goliath felled by a focused David. 5. Welcome & Taare Zameen Par (2007): This was how a classic clash should be for the audience—both films belonged to diverse genres, that too almost diametrically opposite! The former Anees Bazmee confection was a hilarious crime caper, while the latter film, featuring (once again) and produced and directed by Aamir Khan was dead serious, a film with a mission. The release season (Christmas) was bountiful, and both emerged super-hits as per their respective budgets. Today, both films are cherished and revisited with affection, one as a timeless and superbly-relaxing comedy, and the other as a cult motion picture that has changed society in many ways. Debunking the ‘Clash’ myth In that sense, most of the other ‘hyped’ clashes were not tussles at all. Action Replayy was a dud in front of Golmaal 3, so was Mohenjo-Daro opposite Rustom. Saawariya and Jaan-E-Mann respectively were decimated by Om Shanti Om and Don, though the latter was no super-hit. Mission Kashmir came a poorer second to the less-poor Mohabbatein, which is also what happened between Kaabil and Raees. On the other hand, both Jab Tak Hain Jaan and Son Of Sardaar were both tepid successes. There were a few triangular clashes as well, but none really made the high-impact grade. As we have seen, there have been very few true-blue clashes in the real sense! And, hopefully, Mission Mangal and Batla House will battle each other to a great climax where the audience resoundingly wins.

SACRED GAMES 2: Nawazuddin Siddiqui introduces Ganesh Gaitonde's master, mistress and muse SACRED GAMES 2: Nawazuddin Siddiqui introduces Ganesh Gaitonde's master, mistress and muse It is said that behind every man (successful or not), there is a woman. For Ganesh Gaitonde, there are three. Whether or not that makes him lucky, find out on August 15, 2019, only on Netflix. Gaitonde’s holy trinity -- his Master, KD Yadav (Amruta Subhash), his Mistress, Zoya (Elnaaz Norouzi), and his Muse, Jojo (Surveen Chawla) have had deep impacts on his story arc and play pivotal roles in shaping his character. Each woman shares a unique relationship with him, helping him in surprising ways, and using him to further their own personal agendas. Sacred Games has been lauded for its portrayal of strong female characters in the series. Besides these three women, every female character plays an integral role to push the story forward -- they are powerful, layered, and truly badass. Whether it’s the extremely headstrong Kanta Bai (Shalini Vatsa), or Guruji’s most devoted disciple, Batya Abelman (Kalki Koechlin), these women know what they want and will go to any length to make sure they get it. Speaking on the dynamic her character shares with Gaitonde, the Master, Amruta Subhash, says, “As much as Nawaz loves me, Gaitonde hates my character, KD Yadav. She is a RAW agent who controls him, keeps him away from his beloved Mumbai, and makes him a pawn in her bigger game.” The Mistress, Elnaaz Norouzi, shares, “Zoya’s only dream is to become a movie star. She meets a rich Gaitonde and relies on him to fulfil her dream. Gaitonde casts her in the movie he produces on his life. But it’s not as simple as it seems -- their relationship will see an upheaval of sorts this season.” The Muse, Surveen Chawla, says, “Jojo becomes Gaitonde’s one trusted friend when every other relationship fails him. She is fearless and speaks her mind, and always gives it back to him, which is what he appreciates about her. In some ways, she is his muse, his inspiration, and his safety net. But her life has been far from a cakewalk, and that is what has hardened her in many ways. The bond between Gaitonde and Jojo is unique and quite special.” If you thought the first season was riveting, wait and watch Sacred Games 2 -- this time, it’s bigger, better, grittier, more layered, and even more exciting. This season, we continue to follow Mumbai cop Sartaj Singh’s quest to find out the truth about gangster Ganesh Gaitonde’s past and thereby save his city. Gaitonde, meanwhile, goes international this season, and we get an insight into what made him into the hardened, crime boss he is. The story unfolds gradually, with dramatic twists and turns, keeping you hooked till the very end. With just a few more days to go, the adrenaline is high and the excitement is infectious. Sacred Games 2 premieres exclusively on Netflix on August 15, 2019.

Mohnish Bahl opens up about making a comeback on TV with Sanjivani Mohnish Bahl opens up about making a comeback on TV with Sanjivani Mohnish Bahl is known for his iconic roles of the 90’s and the extremely loved show Sanjivani which is making a comeback on the small screen after 17 years. Sanjivani was a show that left a deep impact on people and their lives and the fact that it’s going to make a comeback has left people really excited. The show revolves around the personal and professional lives of doctors and the kind of positivity that surrounds them and the positive aura they exude and how they help their patients and keep them above their own lives! Here's what the actor has to say about his return. You were a part of the previous installment of Sanjivani and now that the makers have decided to bring back the show, how do you feel? "I am really excited and happy that the makers have decided to bring back a show like Sanjivani, that had made its way into the hearts of the audience and has stayed until today even after 17 years. Now that the show is going on-air really soon, I am very nervous but hopeful that the audience will accept me again as Dr. Shashank." How does it feel working with Gurdeep Kohli again? "I was delighted to know that Gurdeep, too, was going to be a part of the show. We are the only two people from the previous season who have been retained to be a part of this installment and I feel blessed. When Gurdeep and I met for the first, nostalgia hit us really hard and all we said to each other was, “Where did the last 17 years go?” and we laughed. Some things don’t change and I am glad our equation is still the same even today." There are a lot of young actors who are a part of the show, how is it working with them? "Yes, there is a lot of young talent who is a part of the show and it is very nice to have such fresh energy on the sets which makes work so much fun. I feel they are better versed than we were 2 decades ago since they have access to social media, internet so I am very impressed with them. Working with Surbhi aka Dr. Ishani and Namit aka Dr. Siddhanth has been great and it doesn’t feel like I am their senior or their new in the business, it’s just so easy with them." How are you preparing for your role? When Siddharth P Malhotra told me that he wants to make Sanjivani again, I told him I was on board immediately. I feel I didn’t have to prepare for that character because Dr. Shashank has lived with me all these years. The day I stepped on the sets, I felt like I took a step back in time and I remembered my first day on set 18 years ago. So, everything came to me naturally and easily, I honestly didn’t even have to watch the previous episodes to catch up because everything is still so fresh in my mind. You started your television career with Sanjivani, and now you are returning on the small screen after 6 years, how does it feel? "Yes, I started my television career with Sanjivani in 2001, and had just finished shooting for Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hai, so it was like trying something for the first time and there was a lot at stake. Back then, if an actor had a few flops, you were forgiven but today, if one show or one movie doesn’t work, it can cost you your entire carrier that’s why I am very choosy about my work. I work on a particular project only if I am confident about the content. I strongly feel Sanjivani is good content and a breath of fresh air that our audience needs today, hence I decided to take up a daily soap after 6 years." How do you think will this season of Sanjivani be accepted by the audience? "I feel for Sanjivani, content is the hero and it was relevant back then, and it is relevant even today. It is a combination of medical drama as well as it concentrates on their personal lives which is so real and relatable. So, I feel content is the hero and I am hoping the audience will find it as refreshing as it was back then.

Rishi Kapoor unveils Anupam Kher's autobiography in New York Rishi Kapoor unveils Anupam Kher's autobiography in New York With an illustrious career spanning over three decades and 500 plus films in several languages, actor and motivational speaker Anupam Kher's journey as an accomplished artist has been nothing short of exemplary. Hailing from a lower-middle-class family in Shimla to becoming one of the most versatile and admired actors globally, Anupam Kher has certainly made his country proud at an international level with his numerous achievements and recognition over the years. The distinguished actor's journey has truly been an inspiration to many who nurture the dream to become an actor. While his first book, 'The Best Thing About You Is You' that draws inspiration from his life still stands tall at the bestseller shelves in bookstores, he's set to launch his second book aptly titled - 'Lessons Life Taught Me Unknowingly' in USA this past weekend. Anupam Kher's close friend and actor Rishi Kapoor launched the book. The highpoint of the evening will be the reading of the book's excerpts by the cast of NBC's hit TV series New Amsterdam, in which Kher plays an Indian-origin Dr Vijay Kapoor. The high-profile event will be streamlined live on Facebook and other social media platforms. The launch followed by dinner is a strictly-by-invitation and a formal black-tie affair hosted by the Honorable Indian Consul General in New York, Sandeep Chakravorty, at the Consulate's Ballroom. Always the one to have a direct and emotional connect with his fans on social media, the actor will also interact with his fans and avid readers at the event. While his popular play, Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai, was a visual delight, his new book talks about yet another inspiring and glorious phase of his remarkable journey. Talking about the book, Anupam Kher says, "I am thrilled to have my friend Rishi Kapoor release my autobiography as he is not just a fine actor, but also a symbol of courage and hope in his fight, and recovery from disease. I am also extremely gratified to have my friends from New Amsterdam participate in the event and add an entertaining dimension to this evening. That my book is being launched in this consulate in New York, through the good offices of the Consul General Sandeep Chakravorty, is something I could have never dreamt about. For a small-town boy from Shimla to making a mark in the Indian film industry and then to come here and be accepted in the City of Dreams only proves the maxim of my life....Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai!" Thank you Counsel General @CHAKRAVIEW1971 ji for your generosity. Thanks to Taruna ji too for reciting the #GayatriMantra so beautifully. It was a proud moment for me to launch #LessonsLifeTaughtMeUnknowingly at @IndiainNewYork .???????????????? https://t.co/UpjsbpESE0 — Anupam Kher (@AnupamPKher) August 12, 2019 Thank you dearest @chintskap ji for gracing the occasion.

WATCH: This Malaysia University gets students to perform on Shah Rukh and Salman Khan’s songs on convocation day! WATCH: This Malaysia University gets students to perform on Shah Rukh and Salman Khan’s songs on convocation day! It’s common knowledge by now that Bollywood films are not just enjoyed by the Indian diaspora overseas. Even the local residents have been slowly warming up to the entertainment provided by our movies. With the advent of social media and WhatsApp, we have often come across videos depicting fans singing popular Hindi songs. When our celebrities go to foreign lands, half of the admirers waiting for them at airports or performance venues turn out to be non-Indians. A few years ago, the Hindi film business boomed in China thanks to Aamir Khan-starrers like Dangal and Secret Superstar. Whenever he goes there, the Chinese fans flock to see him from far and wide. It was also a surprise to see a couple of China residents who travelled all the way to Mumbai to catch the first day first show of his Diwali release, Thugs Of Hindostan! In short, we have seen it all. Yet, when we chanced upon these videos posted by a Malaysian educational institute on its YouTube channel, we were left amazed. The first video clip we witnessed was posted by Management & Science University (MSU), situated in Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia, was uploaded in March this year. The occasion was the 24th convocation of the students and the MSU Choir team performed on two songs of Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan, 'Tu Jo Mila' and 'Chicken Kuk-Doo-Koo'. The performance of 'Tu Jo Mila' is a bit serious and mellow as per the song’s feel. But for 'Chicken Kuk-Doo-Koo', the performers go all out and even perform the Chicken dance of Salman. The students witnessing the show are quite happy with some even replicating the moves. The other videos of Hindi song performances were dominated by Shah Rukh Khan. The recent one, uploaded in May 2019, is of students performing on 'Yeh Ladka Hai Allah', from Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-Hrithik Roshan-Kareena Kapoor starrer Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Another song of this 2001 Karan Johar starrer, 'Bole Chudiyan', was also performed wonderfully by these students in August 2018. For their 2017 performance, they selected 'Ladki Badi Anjaani Hai' from Karan Johar’s first directorial venture, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. But the best reception to the performance of MSU Choir team is reserved for the songs of Dilwale. This 2015 starrer, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, was an underperformer at the box office but its songs have become quite memorable. In the beginning of 2016, MSU had two such ceremonies. For the January event, they performed on 'Janam Janam' while for the April convocation, they sang 'Gerua'. The audiences too got excited when these performers began to croon 'Gerua'. Some Indian-origin students could also be seen in the video in the audience who obviously are rejoicing upon seeing how songs of a Bollywood film have generated tremendous excitement in foreign shores. For years, Bollywood was looked down even by a section of Indians for its song-and-dance routine. But seeing these videos will surely make you proud as to how our content is touching lives thousands of kilometres away. And that a prestigious educational institute is allowing the performance of Bollywood songs for their convocation ceremonies is like an icing on the cake!

Viewers gate-crashing, record black marketing, ladies-only shows: The craze generated by Hum Aapke Hai Koun remains UNPARALLELED! Viewers gate-crashing, record black marketing, ladies-only shows: The craze generated by Hum Aapke Hai Koun remains UNPARALLELED! It’s been a week since Hum Aapke Hai Koun completed 25 weeks but the celebrations and the euphoria refuses to die down. Moreover, a special screening of the film was held on August 9 at the same cinema hall where it released in 1994 – Liberty cinema in Mumbai – and it was attended by Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Renuka Shahane, Mohnish Bahl, Sooraj Barjatya etc. The event was unforgettable and its pictures, videos and articles went viral. Taking the craze forward, Bollywood Hungama now brings some unknown and lost trivia about the film. Take a look at the unusual release strategy adopted by the producers, how audiences went crazy over the film and a lot more: 1. It was the norm then that the video cassettes of the film would be out simultaneously with the theatrical release. But Barjatyas didn’t follow this trend. The film was released only in cinemas. The artistes and technicians associated with Hum Aapke Hai Koun appealed to the audiences to watch this film only in cinemas. 2. Initially, the Rajshri team released only 30 prints of Hum Aapke Hai Koun. Out of which only 1 theatre – Liberty cinema – was chosen to screen in Mumbai. But in the Bombay (present-day Mumbai) circuit, they released 8 prints in all. In Delhi, Kolkata and Nagpur, 2 prints each were released. Hum Aapke Hai Koun didn’t release in East Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu on August 5. However, the film had an overseas release in United Kingdom on the same day. 3. The Barjatyas then substantially increased the number of prints from Week 4, that is, from August 26, 1994 onwards. Naturally, this decision was met with mixed reactions from the trade. Some applauded Rajshri for the bold and unconventional move. But there were those who felt such a policy can backfire. However, trade magazines observed that Rajshi saved crores of rupees for a couple of weeks with their move since more prints means more money spent. 4. The initial running time of Hum Aapke Hai Koun was 3 hours 27 minutes. Two prints were released however with running time of 3 hours and 34 minutes. But after some complaints over long length, two songs – ‘Chocolate Lime Juice’ and ‘Mujhse Juda Hokar’ were removed along with two antaras of ‘Dhiktana’. The edited parts of the reel totalled 1100 feet. The running time of the film was now 3 hours 14 minutes. These cuts came into effect in Mumbai from August 10 and it was implemented later in other places 5. The norm of having inflated ticket rates nowadays was applied for Hum Aapke Hai Koun too. The ticket prices in Liberty were increased and were as follows: Dress Circle (150 seats): Rs 50 Balcony (257 seats): Rs 40 Upper Stall (741 seats): Rs 20 Lower Stall (68 seats): Rs 10 The film earned Rs 32,280 per show, when fully sold out, while weekly with 21 sold-out shows, it earned Rs 3,38,940 nett. 6. Watching Hum Aapke Hai Koun at Liberty was a novel experience. The theatre was revamped and it added to the experience. Viewers came out not only complementing the film but also the theatre. The Barjatyas installed special moving lights all around the screen and these were switched on during ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’ and ‘Joote De Do Paise Le Lo’ songs. Also, audiences marvelled as the air conditioner was kept switched on continuously! The entire premise was kept neat and tidy throughout the day. Even the sound system was first-class. The official merchandise of the film was sold near the ticket counters and it was in huge demand. If all these weren’t enough, the Liberty management went a step ahead and made an executive lounge with catering by Croissants. The youngsters and family audience lapped it up. Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan even remarked, “For once, I felt I was watching a film in a cinema abroad!” One of the top art deco cinemas, Liberty getting ready for HAHK release. They spent over 1 crore for renovation. 2nd pic HAHK running houseful in its 102nd week at Liberty. Every media is wrongly showing Delite cinema (delhi) as liberty in their HAHK articles #25YearsOfHAHK pic.twitter.com/OJaDjIwSwF — Shiv Shetty (@shiv_shetty1) August 5, 2019 7. Not just in Liberty but the film generated craze nationwide. Audience showering coins on the screen during the ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’ song was a common sight. On day of release, youngsters danced on the ‘Joote De Do Paise Le Lo’ song in a cinema hall in Indore. 8. Not a single hoarding, banner, or poster of Hum Aapke Hai Koun was displayed in Hyderabad and its twin city Secundarabad. Yet, there was heavy black marketing of tickets from Day 1 and all the shows were sold out in advance for days. The female audiences at Maheshwari cinema in Hyderabad were seen carrying their lunch boxes with them. If the current show was sold out, they’d eat their meal in the cinema premises itself while waiting for the next show. 9. At Jayshree cinema in Vapi, a lady in the audience in the last show of the film on Sunday August 7 fell unconscious in the scene where Renuka Shahane falls and dies. She had to be immediately taken to a hospital for treatment. 10. In Kolkata, 200 people gatecrashed without tickets at Hind Cinema for a late night show of Hum Aapke Hai Koun. The exhibitor had to call the police to control the situation. The show which was to commence at 8:45 pm started only at 9:30 pm. 11. Abhinay cinema in Aurangabad ran special ladies-only show of Hum Aapke Hai Koun every morning from August 15, 1994 onwards. 12. An old lady, the mother of Deep Jain, distributor from Delhi, had stopped going to cinema since 22 years. But she made an exception for Hum Aapke Hai Koun.

Hungama Play’s latest Marathi original show, ‘Shree Kaamdev Prasanna’ is the perfect comedy to binge over the weekend Hungama Play’s latest Marathi original show, ‘Shree Kaamdev Prasanna’ is the perfect comedy to binge over the weekend After creating successful original Hindi shows like Damaged, Hankaar, Bar Code and Boys with Toys, and a super hit Marathi show, Padded ki Pushup, Hungama Play has now launched a new Marathi original show, ‘Shree Kaamdev Prasanna’. Released simultaneously in Marathi and Hindi, Shree Kaamdev Prasanna serves an ample dose of much-needed laughter after a long week and is the kind of laugh-riot that you’d want to enjoy with your friends over a weekend. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna serves a story that is unique and hasn’t been seen even on the digital medium before. The show introduces us to Milind (Sagar Karande) who is an introvert and is shy around girls. Concerned that his son may never fall in love, his mother (Asha Shelar) prays to Lord Krishna for help but her prayers are instead answered by Lord Chitragupta (Vinay Yedekar) who sends Lord Kaamdev (Bhau Kadam) to Milind’s aid. Lord Kaamdev teaches Milind a mantra that can help him become invisible, read the minds of girls and in turn, help him talk to them. However, this mantra is not without any conditions. He becomes visible if he gets aroused! With Kaamdev by his side, Milind finds himself in the middle of hilariously twisted situations. In the process though, he finds true love with Shivani (Bhagyashree Mote) and also forms a strong friendship with Lord Kaamdev himself. The show has only 5 episodes and this ensures that it sticks to the plot without even a single boring moment. The casting of the show is one of its highlights. Bhau Kadam is the perfect choice to play Kaamdev. He proves once again why he is called the King of Comedy in Marathi entertainment. Sagar Karande as Milind, a shy 35 year old, is a delight to watch and infuses honesty in his character. Veteran actor, Vinay Yedekar, who plays Lord Chitragupta brightens the screen every time he appears. The interactions between him and Bhau Kadam are par excellence and it is heartening to see two phenomenal actors from the Marathi entertainment world play such exciting roles. Bhagyashree Mote as Shivani and Asha Shelar as Milind’s mother are both aptly cast and add to the comic quotient of the show. Director Sandeep Naware ensures that the show doesn’t lose steam and keeps the viewers engaged throughout. The show is peppered with witty dialogues and hilarious situations. Every character in the show is well-etched and Sandeep ensures that each actor plays an important role in making the story more endearing. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna belongs to a category of shows that immediately lighten the mood and provide the viewers with unadulterated entertainment. The show is subtitled in English and has also been released in Hindi for non-Marathi viewers. The non-stop hilarity, rib-tickling situations and superb performances make it the perfect show you need to watch to unwind!

Indian celebrities under siege at global platforms Indian celebrities under siege at global platforms This is not an easy time for Indian celebrities at international forums where questions on the Indian government’s recent moves in Kashmir and other sensitive political issues are raised unannounced by aggressive voices in the audience. Our glamorous global ambassador Priyanka Chopra found herself at one such sticky situation in Los Angeles last week when a Pakistani woman from the audience shouted and accused Priyanka for encouraging nuclear attacks on Pakistan. “You are United Nations Goodwill ambassador for peace and you are encouraging nuclear war in Pakistan. There is no way you are in this ...As a Pakistani, millions of people, like ,me, have supported you in your business,” the attacker yelled. Priyanka negotiated the verbal missiles with great grace. But others are not so fortunate. Celebrities from the Indian entertainment industry increasingly find themselves faced with strong political questions from hostile elements. A young popular actress says the situation is dicey. “Pataa nahin kaun kahan pe kya puchega. This is especially dangerous at international events where the audience consists of foreigners from all over the world. I am sometimes asked about issues related to Indian politics that I have no clue about.” Anupam Kher who is a globally known and respected actor says it’s time for Indian entertainers to shed their bubble existence. “You can’t be up on a stage at an international event and not be prepared to answer uncomfortable questions. At the same time you have to give politically correct answers or you will get into trouble when you return home. I do my homework before I go abroad. I don’t want to be caught on the wrong foot.” https://ift.tt/33pFJd6

On Toilet - Ek Prem Katha's 2nd anniversary, Bhumi Pednekar constructs hostel, new toilets for a girls’ school in Chambal valley On Toilet - Ek Prem Katha's 2nd anniversary, Bhumi Pednekar constructs hostel, new toilets for a girls’ school in Chambal valley For Bhumi Pednekar, her blockbuster film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha will always stay extremely close to her heart. The film saw her being cast opposite superstar Akshay Kumar and spoke about the government’s Swachh Bharat (Clean India) mission and also highlighted the need for women empowerment. This film was a biopic of Anita Narre from Madhya Pradesh, who left her husband’s house as her in-laws didn’t have a toilet and Bhumi portrayed the role of a determined and progressive young woman from a small town with elan. She won accolades for her performance and won several top Best Actress awards.

And on the occasion of the second anniversary of the film, Bhumi has constructed a hostel and new toilets for a girl’s ashram in Chambal that she supports actively for close to 2 years now. “Bhumi has been supporting Abhyudaya Ashram, a residential school in Madhya Pradesh that actively works at provides education and teaches the children employable skills to curb prostitution in the Chambal valley. Bhumi has constructed a hostel and new toilet for the girls of the ashram and this facility will be inaugurated on the occasion of Toilet’s 2nd anniversary!” reveals a source. “The Morena-based school was established in 1992 to fight the prostitution of girls in the valley. The school looks to open up job opportunities for the children thus empowering them and also providing a better future to them. Bhumi has been supporting the school with funds and gifts for about two years and she has also been promoting the need for sanitation among girls in the valley. Bhumi discovered Abhyudaya when she visited the valley for her acclaimed film Son Chiriya’s shoot. She was moved deeply and instantly connected with their cause,” the informer adds. When contacted, Bhumi confirmed saying, “Abhyudaya Ashram is working for an extremely good cause. I have and will always continue doing my bit for them and the girls of the Chambal valley. In my heart, Chambal is a second home for me and I keep going back to Abhyudaya to see how the girls are doing. They have become my family and I intend to promote all necessary and important messages about sanitation, education, empowerment and equal rights of girls among the women of the valley."

Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal set to go past Kesari, emerge as his biggest opener of 2019 Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal set to go past Kesari, emerge as his biggest opener of 2019 Just four days remain for the release of Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal and the film has strategically heated up well en route its arrival in theatres. The campaign has been pretty well crafted, right from the time the film was announced and now that the D-day is just round the corner, one expects the start to be pretty good as well. This year, Akshay Kumar has already seen a Rs. 150 Crore Club hit in the form of Kesari. Released on the partial holiday of Holi, the film had clocked Rs. 21.06 crores on its opening day. Now if the trending for Mission Mangal is anything to go by, that number should be comfortably surpassed. Of course, numbers like Rs. 25 crores and even Rs. 30 crores are being thrown around. However, the first target for the Akshay Kumar starrer would be emerge as his biggest opener of 2019, which means go past the Rs. 21 crores mark. Of course, the film has a major advantage of releasing on the national holiday of Independence Day. However that would also be offset by a fair degree due to clash with John Abraham's Batla House, which is carrying good reports as well. All of that means that it would be good day for the audiences as well as the industry at large to have houseful signs across majority of shows in most screens. Still, when it comes to record breaking numbers for the actors, it is going to be a wait and watch scenario. In fact last year itself Akshay Kumar had set a personal record for himself when Gold netted Rs. 25.25 crores on its first day. Incidentally that too was on Independence Day and yet again the clash was with a John Abraham starrer, Satyameva Jayate. Gold was a much bigger film in terms of scale and size and the sports drama rightfully opened quite well despite competition. Now that Balki produced and Fox Star Studios backed Mission Mangal is arriving, it is giving an impression of being more of a slice of life entertainer instead of being one of those sci-fi biggies that one is used to seeing from Hollywood. That said, Mission Mangal also has a major advantage of many notable leading ladies with Vidya Balan not just leading the show but also lending a very adorable feel. All of this means that Mission Mangal could well end up finding itself on the upside of Rs. 25 crores. However, for now, the first target would be cross Kesari and hence emerge as yet another Akshay Kumar starrer to open in the 20s. Given the kind of budget that the film carries and the fact that it was completed in 32 days flat, that by itself would make it a safe proposition. Akshay Kumar's biggest openers Gold – Rs. 25.25 crores Singh Is Blinng – Rs. 20.67 crores 2.0 (Hindi) – Rs. 20.25 crores Kesari – Rs. 21.06 crores Also Read: Sonakshi Sinha PUSHES Akshay Kumar off his chair and it is straight-up hilarious! https://ift.tt/2yTa85s

Anurag Kashyap REVEALS there is a Ram Gopal Varma connect in Sacred Games 2 Anurag Kashyap REVEALS there is a Ram Gopal Varma connect in Sacred Games 2 Come August 15, people are eagerly anticipating the release of the second season of the highly talked about Netflix show Sacred Games. While anticipation for the new season of the show has reached an all-time high, Anurag Kashyap was recently in conversation with Bollywood Hungama wherein he spoke about Sacred Games 2 and what to expect from it. If that wasn’t all, Kashyap also revealed the connection between filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma and the second season, while also claiming that Ramu was eagerly waiting to watch the show. During his conversation while talking about season 2 of Sacred Games Anurag Kashyap revealed that he is taking a light hearted dig at one of his mentors, Ram Gopal Varma. Detailing the same Kashyap says, “I actually wanted Ramu ji to play the role but he said, ‘No, I won’t play myself’. So I said that I would get another actor to play him, and reached out to Vijay who has been on the sets during the Satya days, and knows him.” Further talking about why RGV is eagerly waiting to watch the new season, Kashyap continues, “Ramu ji is in fact waiting for the new season to come out because his whole thing is, ‘I want to see how you see me.’” Later talking about why he modelled a character on RGV Anurag says, “The idea was to get his humour, his indifference to everything in that role.” As for the second season of Sacred Games, the show will release next week on August 15.

John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani promise right balance of content and commerce from Satyameva Jayate to Batla House John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani promise right balance of content and commerce from Satyameva Jayate to Batla House Exactly a year back when Satyameva Jayate had released, history was created. Despite a heads-on clash with Gold, the action entertainer had taken a superb start at the box office. In fact it was the biggest ever for an A rated film (till Kabir Singh arrived this year). Moreover, for both John Abraham as well as producer Nikkhil Advani, this was the biggest opening ever that a film of theirs had taken. The good run didn't just end here as the Milap Zaveri directed action drama ended up covering a good distance and emerged as a big hit in theatres. Circa 2019 and yet again, Nikkhil and John are coming together for an Independence Day release, Batla House. This time around, Nikkhil is donning the hat of a director as well (in addition to producing the film through his Emmay Entertainment) and if the vibes so far are any indication, the film seems to be in the zone of D-Day, the filmmaker's most critically acclaimed film till date. As for John Abraham, he is being seen in a uniform all over again, something that he has enjoyed umpteenth number of times with Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan being his biggest success story in such a role where he played an army officer. What makes this combination of John Abraham and Nikkhil Advani special is that the fact that they have an eye on keeping the balance right between content and commerce. Satyameva Jayate could well have turned out to be yet another revenge drama but then it went beyond that with fiery dialogues, music and some sensitive moments interspersed into the narrative well enough to give it a well-rounded appeal. Now Batla House is expected to go to the next level, what with the real life tale of the (in)famous real life encounter being brought on screen. Considering the fact that this one too has a sensitive issue at the centre of affair, both Nikkhil and John have been conscious about telling things as they were without compromising on the core theme that the film carries. Moreover, the very subject of the film warrants the kind of treatment which has class attached to it with an eye on the masses as well. Since Nikkhil Advani is the man at the helm of affairs, one expects the kind of cinematic offering on screen that would keep the audiences engaged. As for John Abraham, he is enjoying the time of his life as an actor and if the promo is any indication, he has delivered his career best performance. As a no-nonsense senior cop who has a job in hand and is also a patriot at heart, John plays a character who comes with a knack of distinguishing right from wrong. One look at the kind of body language, mannerisms and dialogue delivery that he is offering in the film (at least on the basis of the promo so far) indicates a mature performance from the actor who has been around for over a decade and a half. The stage is set, the buzz is just right and the curiosity is there amongst audience to check out what Batla House has to offer. All one expects now is a good mix of class and mass appeal from this biggie. Also Read: High Court adjourns plea to postpone the release of John Abraham starrer Batla House https://ift.tt/2GVJyNy

25 Years of Hum Aapke Hai Koun: Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit recreate MAGIC at the royal Liberty cinema! 25 Years of Hum Aapke Hai Koun: Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit recreate MAGIC at the royal Liberty cinema! The majestic Liberty cinema, situated in Marine Lines, is the most filmed cinema hall of Mumbai. Half of Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Nautanki Saala was shot here while Saif Ali Khan and Sonali Kulkarni imagining themselves in a film in Dil Chahta Hai was also filmed in Liberty. There are many such examples and it’s easy to understand why – the theatre has a palace-like feel and also retains the old single screen style. As a result, it was a shock to know that in the beginning of 90s, Liberty was a faded structure, showing some objectionable films. Since family audiences had stopped coming, there was no proper washroom for ladies! But when the nearby Metro cinema (now Metro Inox multiplex) declined to show Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Aapke Hai Koun in 1994, Nazir Hoosein, the owner of Liberty who passed away on May 12 this year, “welcomed us with open arms”, as claimed by the director himself. He agreed to all the conditions laid down by the Rajshri Productions management – upgrade the theatre in all respects, including installing the then latest wonder, Ultra Stereo sound system. Hum Aapke Hai Koun released on August 5, 1994 and it changed the tide for Liberty. As per Kamal Kumar Barjatya, the current booking window at this theatre didn’t open for one full year – meaning all shows were sold out in advance, even the ones on the weekdays! Yesterday, as I reached Liberty, it seemed like I was transported back to 1994! The hoarding of Hum Aapke Hai Koun was put up and there was a huge turnout for the special screening of this classic film, held as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations. The management was not upto the mark but we finally managed to make our way inside after a few struggles. Once inside, the euphoria in the air was at an all-time high. The organizers before the screening played a fun Hum Aapke Hai Koun quiz and it was not a surprise that viewers knew all the answers, even of the most difficult ones. The chairs were laid on the stage and the ‘ladki waale’ comprising of Madhuri Dixit and Renuka Shahane were invited on stage, along with director Sooraj Barjartya and producers Ajit Kumar Barjatya and Kamal Kumar Barjatya. It was no surprise that Madhuri was greeted with lot of love and excitement. She even recreated the ‘gulel’ moment with the host of the evening, RJ Anmol. Surprisingly, even Renuka came on stage amidst loud claps and cheers, which shows how much her character was loved in the film. Madhuri Dixit raised laughs when she said that while shooting for her first Rajshri film Abodh (1984), she viewed Sooraj Barjatya with suspicion. “Woh mujhe dekhte kya likh rahe hai kitaab mein,” (Why is he staring at me and then noting down something in a book). It was later that she realized that he’s Rajkumar Barjatya’s son and that he’s the continuity AD and jotting down make-up, accessories, props used etc is part of his job. Renuka revealed that she was given a Hindi book to read to make sure she has a clean accent. She was able to read a part of the book without the Marathi twang due to which she bagged the part. Sooraj Barjatya, at this point, interrupted and said “We told Salman bhai to read the same book and he struggled to finish reading!” The film finally began and the whistles and hoots continued almost throughout. As soon as Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit came on screen in the intro credit song, viewers went into frenzy. Sooraj Barjatya’s mention in the credits too elicited a great response, which put a smile on our faces. Even the smaller character’s entry scenes like Bindu, Reema Lagoo, and Satish Shah etc. generated excitement. But the surprise was the entry sequence of Tuffy the adorable dog – the way viewers cheered for him shows he’s probably the most loved animal of Hindi cinema! Dilip Joshi came on screen and almost everyone screamed ‘Jethalal’ in unison, referencing to his famous part in the famous daily soap, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah! During the interval, the organizers had a chat with ‘ladke waale’. And the moment everyone was waiting for came true – Salman Khan arrived at the venue and this was the most maddening part of the evening. Mohnish Bahl was called and even he got a rousing reception. This was followed by Satish Shah, Himani Shivpuri, Bindu and Sahila Chaddha. Madhuri Dixit and Sooraj Barjartya also joined them on stage. Salman was in his element as he fondly remembered the film, how he was given the six-hour narration of the film by Sooraj with songs, expressions et al. The banter between Salman and Mohnish was a delight. Mohnish called himself as a struggler in the 80s, and Salman taunted him as he is Nutan’s son. To which Mohnish chided Salman for calling himself a struggler despite being Salim saab’s son! The mood turned a bit serious at this point as the team remembered those cast and crew members who have passed away - Ajit Vachani, Reema Lagoo, Laxmikant Berde, Rajkumar Barjatya and Rajat A Barjatya. They were sweet enough to add Liberty owner Nazir Hoosein since he was also like a part of the film’s team. Salman also informed that Jay Borade, choreographer of the film who also won National Award for Best Choreography, is no more and that he had an unusual interaction with him. He said that a day before he was to meet Jay Borade for Hum Aapke Hai Koun, he saw him lying on the road after meeting with an accident. He took him to Bhabha hospital and stood like a rock. They had a wonderful association over the years, so much so that Salman left all work and rushed to Mumbai when he learnt of his demise in 2014. “My first meeting with him was in Bhabha Hospital and so was my last,” said Salman. The mood slowly uplifted as Sooraj Barjatya revealed that there was a controversy when Jay Borade was given National Award and not Prabhu Dheva for Kadhalan (dubbed in Hindi as Humse Hai Muqabala). But then the chairman of National Awards, Chetan Anand, silenced them all by saying that choreography is not just about dance moves but also how it is well woven with the narrative and feel of the film and that’s where Hum Aapke Hai Koun scored big time. He also narrated that a black ticket seller was able to buy two flats by selling the tickets of the movie in black! Meanwhile, Satish Shah who played a pan-loving doctor was given a plate full of pan to chew. To everyone’s amusement, the veteran actor struggled to put it in his mouth and even smeared his hands. Immediately, Sooraj Barjatya gave his handkerchief and this gesture immediately won hearts! Bindu, Himani Shivpuri and Sahila Chaddha then share their thoughts next. Sahila played the part of the girl who dresses up as Salman. She surprised everyone by saying that many on the set confused her with Salman! And then the biggest highlight of the evening. Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan mouthed the famous ‘Aapne humein gulel se kyun maara’ dialogue. Salman at first forgot his lines completely and everyone busted out laughing! And then when they were asked to dance on ‘Pehla Pehla Pyaar’, they hesitated at first. But the audiences cheered and so did Mohnish Bahl. The lovely actors gave in and did a wonderful dance on this soulful melody. The interval went on for almost 35-40 minutes but nobody minded! The second half then began and audiences remained as excited as they were in the first half. It was past midnight when the film ended. The viewers who came out were high on emotions. After all, this is a film that always entertains and touches viewers’ hearts, even on repeat viewing. And to experience this unforgettable flick on the big screen 25 years later, that too in Liberty, was an experience to cherish throughout our lives!

His earlier project for Karan Johar’s Dharma productions was aborted when its leading man Fawad Khan had to return to Pakistan after the conflict in Uri. Talking about his journey after suffering failures to finally achieving success Aditya says, “15 years of failures, rejections and hard work has led to this moment and it just can’t get better than this. Thank you India, thank you Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and all the Jury members of National Award committee for considering me worthy enough for this prestigious award.

The way my parents and my brother stood by me through all the struggle is what helped me realise my dream so beautifully. Thank you Ronnie Screwvala and my entire team of URI for giving it all and making URI what it is. This film wouldn’t have been possible without the mad obsession of each one of you to create something extraordinary for our audience.” In conclusion, Aditya expresses his thanks to the men in uniform and their families saying, “But most importantly I am dedicating this award to each and every brave soldier of our country and their families.

10 Bollywood films that captured the scenic beauty of Kashmir 10 Bollywood films that captured the scenic beauty of Kashmir After scrapping Article 370, PM Narendra Modi addressed the nation in a 30-minute-long video message yesterday pointing out to the benefits of the removal of this article from the Indian constitution. In the video, PM Narendra Modi has spoken about how a lot of films in the past have been shot in Kashmir for the longest time and after removing Article 370, how Bollywood will finally be able to shoot for films in peace. In recent times, the filmmakers have been contemplating picking Kashmir as the location to shoot their films, considering the security concerns in the state. While we’re talking about films, here’s a list of movies that were shot in Kashmir and became classics for all the right reasons. URI – The Surgical Strike A film that needs no introduction, being one of the highest-grossing films in Bollywood and gaining critical acclaim worldwide, this Vicky Kaushal starrer has shot quite a big and pivotal chunk of the film in Kashmir. Both Vicky Kaushal and director Aditya Dhar have received awards at the 66th National Film Awards. Jab Tak Hai Jaan Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma, Jab Tak Hai Jaan has garnered a lot of appreciation from the fans and critics alike. The portion where Shah Rukh Khan plays an Army officer has been shot in Kashmir. Bajrangi Bhaijaan This superhit Salman Khan starrer has been shot in Kashmir and is hands down one of the best performances of Salman and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The movie was shot extensively in Kashmir and Kabir Khan has beautifully captured the scenic beauty and essence of the state through his camera. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani The makers have shown Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur head for a trek in the snow-clad region in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Those parts have been shot in Kashmir. Fitoor Fitoor stars Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapur along with Tabu. The movie is based around a poor Kashmiri stable keeper who falls in love with the Begum’s daughter and how she sends her daughter away to maintain their elitism. The story was quite an unconventional one, however, did not fail to show how beautiful the valley of Kashmir is. Lakshya This Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta starrer film was shot in Kashmir extensively and had changed the perception of the audience regarding Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik Roshan had earlier played the roles of a lover boy but Lakshya, in which he played an army officer, proved how versatile Hrithik is as an actor. Kashmir Ki Kali The story of this Shammi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore starrer is about a boy who escapes his marriage and runs away to Kashmir, where he falls in love with a local girl. The movie is a journey of how Shammi Kapoor realizes a harsh truth and cannot get married to the love of his life. Jab Jab Phool Khile Shashi Kapoor and Nanda have beautifully portrayed the role of a boatman and rich woman who fall in love with each other and Nanda’s father disapproves of their relationship and hence plots to separate the two. Junglee Saira Banu and Shammi Kapoor have shot in the valley of Kashmir for this 1961 classic and the scenery is worth it all. Who can forget the all-time hit song ‘Yahoo!’ featuring Shammi Kapoor. Yash Chopra’s Romantic Classics - Silsila and Kabhi Kabhie Yash Chopra’s romantic movies like Silsila and Kabhi Kabhie have been shot in Kashmir and these movies have gone down as classics and are still a sight for sore eyes, decades after release. How many of these films have you seen yet and noticed the beautiful scenery of Kashmir? Be sure to let us know.

National Award: “It’s truly humbling and hugely gratifying to win the coveted National Awards” says Ayushmann Khurrana on winning best actor for AndhaDhun National Award: “It’s truly humbling and hugely gratifying to win the coveted National Awards” says Ayushmann Khurrana on winning best actor for AndhaDhun The 66th National Awards were announced today, and among the winners was Ayushmann Khurrana who was awarded in the best actor category for AndhaDhun alongside Vicky Kaushal for Uri – The Surgical Strike. Besides this, Ayushmann’s film AndhaDhun was also award as the best Hindi film which has resulted in a double celebration for the actor. Talking about the win, Ayushmann Khurrana says, “It’s truly humbling and hugely gratifying to win the coveted National Awards. As an artist, I have always tried to back disruptive content that stands out for its quality content. Today’s honour is a validation of my hard work, my belief system, my journey in movies and my reason to be an actor in the first place. Over and above my personal win, I’m thrilled that both the films that I have done - AndhaDhun and Badhaai Ho have won at the prestigious National Awards. It again validates that people of our country want to see cinema that entertains, that they can cherish, discuss and endorse.” Further talking about the film and its director Ayushmann added, “AndhaDhun is a path-breaking film and Sriram Raghavan deserves all the accolades for creating a new genre of cinema for Indian audiences to enjoy. I have been truly fortunate to be a part of Sriram Raghvan’s vision and congratulate my director for his genius. As an artist, AndhaDhun challenged me and I strongly feel it made me a better actor. With Badhaai Ho again I took up a taboo topic because I believed that people would be ok to see this kind of cinema. I’m glad that a subject like Badhaai Ho also won big today and I congratulate my director Amit Sharma for his breakthrough script that became a talking point in every household. It was a pleasure to collaborate with a forward thinking creative mind like him and again disrupt the stereotyped notions of what Hindi cinema should be.” Concluding his vote of thanks for being adjudged as the best actor, Ayushmann dilated his future road map saying, “I will continue on this journey to discover and back cinema that truly stands apart and brings people back into the theatres.” https://ift.tt/2KHVbZM

Subhash K Jha speaks about Jabariya Jodi Subhash K Jha speaks about Jabariya Jodi For a film that has not been shot Bihar/Patna at all, Jabariya Jodi gets the details right, including place names and even random public places. Also everyone is shown drinking all the time in ‘dry’ Bihar, although there is a passing reference to alcohol-free Bihar. But what the 'hic'. Groom-kidnapping which form crux of this splashy, gaudy, riotous saga, is no more that prevalent in Bihar. But you know what? Jabariya Jodi is nonetheless an endearing slice -of-laugh raucous ode to rusticity with the lead pair and supporting cast hell-bent on having fun. So who are we to resist? The film wraps its head in a swirl of mischievous mayhem, making the whole cult of anti-dowry groom-kidnapping syndrome seem like a cauldron of conflicts simmering in a scintillating seductive stratosphere. The director knows how to control mob incidents. He plunges into rumbustious wedding events to wiggle out the ironies that control such festive opportunities. In an all-out image-building exercise, Sidharth Malhotra plays Abhay Singh a loud aggressive overdressed Bihari lout whose family business is groom kidnapping. Abhay has his own bullying issues with his father (Javed Jaffrey, intimidating). The whole nexus of violence greed abduction and seduction spirals its way from Abhay’s character into a kind of edgy out-of-the-box anti-romance between Abhay and the village bombshell Babli (Parineeti Chopra) who has tried everything to get away from her small-town ennui. Babli is Kriti Sanon in Bareilly Ki Barfi, Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met and Parineeti in Hasee Toh Phasee. She can’t be controlled. Though her story can, and is. The two principal actors have a whole lot of infectious fun with their parts. The writing gives them a chance to banter without the fear of falling. The free-fall feel is amply supported by the dialogues which are sharp and naughty .In one sequence someone reads out the item 'haath gadi' in an elaborate dowry list. "Haath ghadi (watch)," corrects a know-all. Writer Sanjeev K Jha knows his Bihar and director Prashant Singh knows how much the actors can be pushed into shaping the final destiny of a film that falls short of story-content somewhere midway. In the second-half the narration tends to get repetitive and more than a little petulant. Malhotra as the groom-whisking goon tries very hard to blend into the small-town environment. His efforts hit some right notes especially when 'Babli' Parineeti get too cuddy-feely for his comfort. There is a prevalent chaos in the mood of this know-your-Bihar-on-google smartass fable of fiscal avarice masquerading as social service. It is an opportune subject to allow its two principal actors to shed their urban plumes and strut in an entirely different environment. Malhotra and Chopra do well, though their urbane personality keeps impinging. The supporting cast is impressive, though not in an exceptional way, specially Aparshakti Kapoor as Parineeti’s on-hold love interest Santo ,Chandan RoySanyal as Siddharth’s right-hand man, Sanjay Mishra as Babli's empathetic father and Shiba Chadha (wish there was more of her) as Sidharth’s oppressed mother. The climax at a wedding where everyone is shooting at each other seems to go out of control. But otherwise director Prashant Singh does an admirable job of controlling the riot of colours, sounds and flamboyant visuals that assail our senses in a film about Bihar which is not shot in Bihar.

Hungama launches Shree Kaamdev Prasanna, a new Marathi original show, on Hungama Play Hungama launches Shree Kaamdev Prasanna, a new Marathi original show, on Hungama Play Hungama, India’s leading digital entertainment company today launched a new Marathi original show, Shree Kaamdev Prasanna. Releasing in Marathi and Hindi, the show stars Maharashtra’s King of Comedy, Bhau Kadam in the titular role of Lord Kaamdev, along with popular Marathi actors, Sagar Karande, Bhagyashree Mote, Vinay Yedekar and Asha Shelar. The show revolves around the misadventures of Milind, a 35 year old introvert who is shy around girls. Through a divine intervention gone wrong, Lord Kaamdev, the God of Passion, is sent to Earth to help him, turning Milind’s life into a comic mess but becoming his friend in the process. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna is produced by Hungama Digital Media and CafeMarathi, and directed by Sandeep Naware. Starting today, the show will be available to stream on Hungama Play, Hungama’s video on demand platform. Leveraging its strong distribution network, Hungama will deliver the show to an audience of over 60 million in more than 190 countries. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna will also be available to stream through Hungama Play on Vodafone Play, Idea Movies & TV, Airtel TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Tata Sky Binge, SHAREit and Android TVs. Additionally, Hungama’s association with Xiaomi will enable consumers to watch the show via Hungama Play on Mi TV. Speaking at the launch of Shree Kaamdev Prasanna, Siddhartha Roy, COO, Hungama Digital Media said, “Unique stories with interesting narratives and universal appeal are some of the important aspects that drive Hungama’s original programming. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna is our second original show in Marathi and narrates a story that will appeal to people around the world. Staying true to our commitment of building a multi-lingual and multi-genre library, the show will be available in both, Marathi and Hindi. We expect our regional library to drive growth for us and help us increase our user base in non-metro markets by 2X.” Nikhil Raibole, Co-Founder and CEO of CafeMarathi, said, “Our mission at CafeMarathi is to create content that is engaging and entertaining. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna is a comedy that will keep the viewers engrossed from the first scene itself. We are glad to work with Hungama once again and are certain that their robust distribution strategy will deliver the show to millions of viewers around the world.” In the show, Sagar Karande plays Milind, an introvert who simply cannot talk to girls. Concerned about the fact that her son might never meet a potential match, his mother (Asha Shelar) prays to Lord Krishna to help her son. In a hilariously twisted situation, her prayers are heard by Lord Chitragupta (Vinay Yedekar), Yama’s assistant, who decides to send Lord Kaamdev (Bhau Kadam) to Milind’s aid. Armed with a mantra taught to him by Kaamdev, Milind receives an incredible gift to be invisible and read the minds of girls around him. But there’s a catch! He becomes visible again, if he gets aroused! Kaamdev’s assistance, as much as a boon for Milind, gets him into comically bizarre situations. But as Kaamdev helps Milind win over the love of his life, Shivani (Bhagyashree Mote), the two also form a strong bond with each other and discover true friendship. Speaking about the show, Sandeep Naware, Director of Shree Kaamdev Prasanna said, “It was an honour to direct Bhau Kadam along with the entire cast of the show. It is a light-hearted comedy show that follows our amazing duo of Milind and Lord Kaamdev. I am excited and glad that I got an opportunity to associate with CafeMarathi and Hungama for my debut in the world of digital entertainment.” Playing the role of Shree Kaamdev, Bhau Kadam said, “It has been interesting and exciting to play Lord Kaamdev on-screen. The show doesn’t have single dull moment and its humour is sure to be appreciated by the audiences. I am glad to have worked with CafeMarathi and Hungama and hope that the audience enjoy watching the show as much as I have enjoyed filming for it.” Speaking about his role, Sagar Karande said, “Acting alongside comic legend Bhau Kadam and the entire cast was a great experience. Shree Kaamdev Prasanna is a hilarious fictional take on what happens when Lord Kaamdev encounters a shy introvert on Earth. I am excited to see the audiences’ verdict and hopefully continue entertaining them across different medium.” Shree Kaamdev Prasanna is available to stream on Hungama Play and its partner networks, starting today. https://ift.tt/33nniWo

#Article370Scrapped: Dear Narendra Modi, now please restart cinema halls and ease the process of shooting in Kashmir #Article370Scrapped: Dear Narendra Modi, now please restart cinema halls and ease the process of shooting in Kashmir August 5, 2019 will go down in history. After all, the government of India took the daring and controversial decision of scrapping Article 370 and Article 35A and turned Jammu and Kahsmir into two Union Territories. Many didn’t think that they’ll get to see the revocation of the said articles in their lifetimes. As expected, this move by the government will have a lot of effects. There has already been a debate on whether it’ll prove beneficial and the various areas where changes can be expected. But for Bollywood, this surely seems to be a win-win situation. A lot of films over the years have been set in the Valley. But very unfortunately, not a single film ever release in the Kashmir area of the state. After the situation began to deteriorate from 1989, the cinema industry was badly hit. Going for films was deemed as ‘un-Islamic’ activity by the conservative voice which began to grow stronger. As a result, one by one, the cinema halls began to shut shop. A decade later, in 1999, three theatres in Srinagar – Regal, Neelam and Broadway – reopened after financial assistance by the state government. But soon, these halls were attacked by the terrorists. Still, Neelam survived somehow till 2005. But in September that year, an encounter took place between the police and the suicide attackers, when around 70 moviegoers were watching Aamir Khan-starrer Mangal Pandey. The verdict was out – if you love your life, stop going to theatres. Moreover, there were far other pressing issues plaguing the lives of common Kashmiris. Hence, the closure of these auditoriums was the least of everyone’s problems. Earlier this year in March, CRPF restarted the operations of the Heaven cinema in Anantnag which is presently situated in their premises. The Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu was the first film to be screened at Heaven, before which Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Kaalia was last shown in 1991. Sadly, nothing much changed in this regard in the rest of the state but it gave a message – where there’s a will, there’s a way. In 2017, crown prince Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also lifted the ban on movie theatres in his country, the very conservative Saudi Arabia. The then chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti, had welcomed this decision. As expected, several Kashmiris began to ask her when the similar ‘unofficial’ ban on cinemas will be lifted. But their pleas fell on deaf ears. Now with the Central government having greater autonomy in the troubled state, reopening of cinema halls should be one of the top priorities for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The idea right now is to normalize the situation and provide all the basic facilities which people in the rest of the country access quite easily. And cinema is one of the most significant forms of entertainment. Even though theatres were closed, Kashmiris continued watching films on television, internet and on pirated DVDs. No wonder when stars like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan visited Kashmir to film Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Jab Tak Hai Jaan respectively, locals came out in hordes to welcome them. It clearly shows that despite the diktats, Kashmiris continued to enjoy the films, just like the rest of the Indians. Also those in Kashmir born post 90s have never got the fortune of enjoying a theatre experience in their home state. Imagine their joy when they’ll catch a flick on the big screen close to their homes. And as we all know, cinema is an escapist medium. Watching films and discussing about it will help them escape for their problems, albeit for some time. But in the long run, it’ll prove to be of great help. Of course, the process won’t be easy. The theatres, which are in deteriorating condition, will have to be revamped. The prices will have to be reasonable so that locals will be interested to come again and again. And providing security to these venues will be absolutely necessary. However, once cinema-watching experience becomes common and safe, the government should ask cinema chains like Inox, PVR, Cinepolis etc. to start their properties in the Valley. They should be given incentives and an assurance of safety so that they feel motivated to invest in Kashmir. And this shouldn’t be limited to Srinagar. Other towns should also get the benefit. While this is happening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his team should also ease the process of shooting films in Kashmir. The locales out there are breath-taking and give a fine touch to the films visually. However, shooting a film is still a daunting task in the Valley. It’s also quite expensive vis-à-vis other states of India. The Union government must take immediate steps to correct this and invite as many filmmakers as possible to shoot here. Tax rebates must be given on an immediate basis. Watching Kashmir in all its glory in movies would prompt many tourists to flock here. And this will largely benefit the state where almost 70-80% of population is dependent on tourism. Here’s hoping the NDA government understands the power of cinema and makes good use of it in the integration of Kashmir to the rest of India seamlessly. The state has faced a lot and if they get a chance to go through the process with the help of cinema, the journey will surely be easier and hopefully entertaining! https://ift.tt/2TfLKV6

Women from Indian cinema pay their respects to Sushma Swaraj Women from Indian cinema pay their respects to Sushma Swaraj Shabana Azmi: “Sushma Swaraj was a remarkable parliamentarian and a lovely person. I shared a very cordial relationship with her. She was accessible, friendly and warm with everybody. She had chosen me as one of her Navratnas as she called us, 9 people from various disciplines in the Film Industry whose views and advice she would invite. As I and B Minister, she singlehandedly got Industry status to the film industry which had a transformative effect in the way films started getting funding …She had an amazing memory. She was once on a panel with me and asked me for the names of the other panellists. I wrote them down for her, 9 of them. She glanced at the paper and when she got up to speak she had all the names in the correct order! She, along with Sonia Gandhi and Meira Kumar was instrumental in getting the Copyright Amendment Bill passed. She has gone all too soon. We will miss her. Deepest condolences to her family.” Neena Gupta: “Bahut suljhi hui samajhdaar…. She was gracious soft-spoken, pleasant result-driven and yet very gentle and kind. Even those who don’t agree with the BJP’s policies were fond of Sushma Swaraj. I’ve seen that. I don’t know of anyone who knew her and did not like her. It’s really sad to see her go so suddenly. She was too kind and too useful to have left so early.” Dia Mirza: “She was a tall leader. Deeply admired and respected her. Remember watching her speeches in parliament as a child and my admiration for her only grew as an adult. As she continued grew in stature she was never became arrogant, she remained humble, strong, effective, empathetic and so deeply committed to our democracy and people.” Khushboo Sunder: “In Sushma Swarajji India had a very efficient lawmaker who was also a wonderful human .She has gone out of her way to help people beyond the capacity of her Chair, a very graceful person, a tigress in her ability and a brilliant orator.” Soni Razdan: “She was an exceptional lady. A true statesman with a heart of gold. The work that she did to help so many people with their visas and when they were stuck across the border will be remembered long after she has gone. I know I speak for many when I say that I will miss her terribly even though I never knew her personally. Such people are rare gems and we have lost one such.” Also Read: Sushma Swaraj passes away; Bollywood mourns the loss of BJP stalwart https://ift.tt/2KqwUbz

Aazaad Awarded by Vice Chancellor, Kashi Vidyapith Aazaad Awarded by Vice Chancellor, Kashi Vidyapith On 4th August 2019, Kashi Vidyapith, a historical Institution strengthening Indian teaching since pre-Independence Era, honoured the much celebrated nationalist filmmaker Aazaad for his immense contribution for the upliftment and progress of our forgotten language Sanskrit and intense cultural artistic service to the motherland. In this auspicious grand event, Aazaad was praised for the successful premiere of his film Rashtraputra at prestigious International Cannes Film Festival and his creative contribution in Sanskrit with the first mainstream feature film of the world Aham Brahmasmi. The ceremony was followed by trailer and song launch of the film Aham Brahmasmi. The ceremony was presided by Prof. T.N Singh (Hon’ble Vice Chancellor – Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi), Chief Guest Prof. Gangadhar Panda (Ex. Hon’ble Vice Chancellor – Shree Jagannath Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya, Odisha) and many more special guests of the educational field. The film is written and directed by military school alumnus and the international filmmaker Aazaad to glorify the forgotten language Sanskrit. Aazaad is now coming with his unique creation of Sanskrit film Aham Brahmasmi to acquaint the comprehensive audience with the very roots of our ancient culture, traditions and forgotten language Sanskrit. It is important to note that both the films are produced by the film company ‘The Bombay Talkies Studios’ which was established by Rajnarayan Dube in 1934 along with female producer Kamini Dube. Aazaad quoted with his trademark confidence that each and every human being, young or old, male or female, citizens of any country, any region and religion must have the thought and respect for their respective country. He also said that, this is the high time to re-invent and restore the sanatan culture and values through Dev Bhasha Sanskrit to preserve our divine identity and existence. Aazaad roars in his baritone that India is not merely a piece of land but a divine entity; one should live and die for the motherland. We are the fortunate descendants of the great sages who had created Vedas, Upanishads and the ultimate wisdom. For us the whole world is our family. Our thoughts, actions and voices represent and strengthen the worldwide brotherhood, piece and wisdom. It is a matter of great hope that in this commercial world of movies, Aazaad has come forward with such an extra ordinary subject of all time i.e Aham Brahmasmi. He expressed his deep concerns for cultural nationalism and said “Today in this sanatan Bharat, the sanatanis are in a state of becoming endangered species. The soulless, shameless, the permanent slave community, the anti-sanatani brigade has waged war against the sanatanis and are trying to prove and title them as communal. This country, the country of sanatanis should be free from the invisible chains of slavery created by so called seculars and pseudo intellectuals...And announce and declare in loud and clear voice that we are free …we all are Aazaad…we, the offspring of the sages”. In this very occasion Prof. T.N Singh, the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor– Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi expressed his deep regards for nationalist filmmaker Aazaad that Aazaad is not merely a filmmaker but an institution of substance himself. The Vice Chancellor said that Aazaad is combination of several highly creative departments of intense filmmaking. He himself a writer, a director, an editor, a music director, a singer and a multi-faceted complete actor. Apart from all these qualities he is a self-employed crusader of traditions and culture of the great nation i.e Bharat. He is very much aware of the fact that he has the responsibility to counter all the odds with his tremendous nationalistic force so that the purity and dignity of this godly culture of the land of sages can prevail. In his presidential speech the Vice Chancellor thanked the whole team of Bombay Talkies, Aazaad and his associates for the great creative, cultural achievements. He added that inside all of us there is the Brahm and we have to recognize and activate the supreme power. We will not only watch the great film Aham Brahmasmi but we will publicize it and tell the other institution to see and enjoy the film, the language and the creation. It should be mandatory to exhibit and to be watched in all the educational institutions. After watching the movie one can understand the eternal pain in the heart of Aazaad. In this very occasion the head of the writing department of legendary film company Bombay Talkies, writer-poet and the closest associate of filmmaker Aazaad, Abhijit Ghatwari described Aazaad as the creative genius and a devoted inspiring artiste, a deep rooted creative soul who has the capability to take the Bombay Talkies to its glorious climax. Aazaad has fulfilled his responsibilities by his god gifted creative talent. After acquaint with the oratory skills and performance of Abhijit Ghatwari the Vice Chancellor Prof. T.N Singh – Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi told the audience that Abhijit Ghatwari is not just the writer and head of writing department but he is like a well - trained, well-cultured scholar and professor of Hindi and Sanskrit who can perform nonstop and very much ease with poetry and prose. He also added that if this type of talent is associated with Bombay Talkies then one can imagine how authentic and intense the film Aham Brahmasmi will be. In this great event Chief Guest Ex. Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. Gangadhar Panda – Shree Jagannath Sanskrit Vishvavidyalaya, Odisha expressed his deep rooted feelings for the language of Gods Sanskrit, As the re-establishment of Sanskrit is only possible when the students of Science and the people of Scientific mind-set acknowledge, understand, preach, practice and honour the ancient language Sanskrit. He said that Aham Brahmasmi is the ultimate essence of our spiritual Shashtras. Aham Brahmasmi is the ultimate and purest form of existential experience achieved by our divine ancestors. In this rarest of the rare joint event of film and Sanskrit, the Hon’ble guests recollects the rare fact of the history of Bombay Talkies having a great legacy of meaningful, socially relevant and reformative creative experiments through cinema. The iconic film company was the great temple of creative cinematic art and culture established by the cinematic giant Rajnarayan Dube in 1934. All the stars of yesterday or today were connected in any form and fraternity with the very roots of Bombay Talkies. Name any and you will find their connection with the legendary pillar of Indian Cinema i.e Bombay Talkies. It is to be noted that after an interval of sixty-five years the legendary film company Bombay Talkies made a splendid comeback with nationalistic film Rashtraputra and created history. Now the premiere company of filmmaking is ready to release the world’s first mainstream feature and most anticipated Sanskrit film, Aham Brahmasmi. The unique film based on the thoughts and philosophy of the great revolutionary Chandrashekhar Azad. The sole purpose and aim of this film is to reunite the world through a sense of unity and diversity and to acquaint the world with our immortal, eternal, cultural heritage through the forgotten ancient language Sanskrit. The movie has all the key elements of mainstream cinema viz. patriotism & drama in its core. The motto behind making the film is to make Sanskrit language relevant even for today and to leave the mark on people to rejuvenate the long lost language. Aazaad recollected his experience during the creation of the film Aham Brahmasmi in Dev Bhasha Sanskrit that he was alone with his team but after completing the film and campaigning across the nation his now supported immensely by thousands and thousands of Sanskrit loving descendants of the sages from the streets, from the schools, colleges, towns and villages, from different sects and societies, males, females, young and old. Aazaad is visualizing the event with his futuristic vision that very soon the day will come when lacs and crores, millions and billions of nationalist people coming with saffron flags, sloganeering ‘Vande Mataram’ and communicating with each other in Sanskrit. Sanskrit will be the language of communication for the common people very soon. In this historical event after thankfully received the honour from Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi by the auspicious hand of Vice Chancellor himself Aazaad thanked all the literary giants of the university and articulated in his baritone that there is one Sanatan question and there is one Sanatan Answer. The Sanatan question is Who am I? and the Sanatan Answer is Aham Brahmasmi. Also Read: Bombay Talkies celebrates its 85th anniversary https://ift.tt/31x51EB

Valmiki: Pooja Hegde gets to work with Academy Award winner Robert Richardson Valmiki: Pooja Hegde gets to work with Academy Award winner Robert Richardson Acto Pooja Hegde is a fine example of an artist who has commercial and critical success in her film career. The talented actress, who is currently creating waves in the South with her back to back hit projects and is gearing up for her next big Bollywood release - Housefull 4, was recently left awestruck on the sets of her next South Indian project Valmiki. Three time Academy Award winning cinematographer Robert Richardson, while on his trip to India, landed up on the sets of the film, where he happened to meet Pooja. What happened next became a lifelong memory for the actress. Richardson decided to roll his camera and take couple of shots of Pooja, something that other actresses only dream of. Talking about her magical experience, Hegde says “I’ve absolutely loved his work and I’m a very big fan. After watching Hugo on screen, I think 'wow what amazing cinematography', I cannot even describe the feeling. I feel privileged because this is the man who has shot with directors like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and he’s now on our set rolling a shot for us. It’s such a privileged life,” Hegde happily further reveals, “I’m so glad that I’m the one who’s in the frame and I got this opportunity. I just think that he’s one of the cinematographers who really like gives us a variety in terms of like Inglorious Bastards look so different from a Hugo, Shutter Day was also one my favourite films. I just think it’s hard to believe sometimes that the same person has done Hugo then done shutter island. He’s just so talented & you can see why he’s won three Oscars. He’s shot most of the iconic films.” Spilling more beans about meeting Richardson, Hegde goes on to add “I think he’s a really fun person. He’s so vocal about his opinions and is really funny. His sense of humour is really great. I think the most memorable thing for me is that he just rolled a shot. I mean he’s the man who has just shot with Margot Robbie and now I’m the next girl in front of his camera. That’s amazing, from Margot Robbie to me. He’s the one who just shot with Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pitt for Once Upon A time in Hollywood, he normally be like 'Leo just move a little right of the camera' and now he was like 'Pooja move little right of the camera'. I think that’s pretty much part of the Industry and you’ve grown up watching films and his films that’s quite an iconic moment for me.” ALSO READ: Woah!

7 facts about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt you don’t know 7 facts about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt you don’t know 1. Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan do not play an age-challenged couple. If you are looking for a Lolita-unplugged kind of remix about a graying man and giggly teenager (almost), then look elsewhere). This is the story of intense love. There are no kids and kid-stuff in this story. 2. Inshallah will feature Salman Khan in his most romantic avatar to date since Hum…Dil De Chuke Sanam. Usually, Salman plays aggressive characters with dollops of romance thrown in. For the first time, he plays a diehard romantic. 3. Since Alia Bhatt has had a childhood crush on Salman Khan, she is looking at ways to feel ‘normal’ when she starts shooting with Salman. Breathing exercises are not helping much. Alia is just counting on her acting skills. She will act nonchalant when she meets Salman on sets, as though working with him is no big deal for her. 4. Being an out-and-out romantic film Inshallah will have 7 romantic songs composed by the director Sanjay Bhansali. I have had the privilege of hearing some of these songs. To say that the music is exquisite would be an understatement. The music of Inshallah will create history. 5. Parts of Inshallah will be shot in the US. Sanjay Bhansali has shot only one of his films out of the country. And that was Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. "Inshallah," says Bhansali, has a heart that ticks for India. 6. Inshallah will feature Salman in a role never seen before. Sadly, I am not allowed to reveal what he will play. All I can say is he has never played anything like this before. 7. As for Alia Bhatt, Inshallah will take her to the next level in her career. Her role has innocence and seductiveness. Her character is at once childlike and wise, grownup yet possessing the innocence of a child. This film will be for Alia what Hum …Dil De Chuke Sanam was for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

“It was Sridevi’s wish that I produce a Tamil film” – Boney Kapoor on Nerkonda Paarvai “It was Sridevi’s wish that I produce a Tamil film” – Boney Kapoor on Nerkonda Paarvai Boney Kapoor has extremely ambivalent feelings about his first Tamil production Nerkonda Paarvai, a remake of the hard-itting Hindi film Pink which opens in the coming week. Says Boney emotionally, “While I am really happy with how the film has shaped up, I miss my wife (Sridevi) now more than ever before. It was her wish that I produce a film in Tamil. I wish it would have happened during her lifetime.” Boney Kapoor reveals that the much-missed diva had set out to produce a film in Tamil years ago. “Sri and her mother had decided to produce a Tamil film starring the legendary M G Ramachandran. But the project couldn’t proceed beyond the Mahurat puja. Ever since then Sri was looking forward to producing a Tamil film. And not just Tamil, she also wanted me to venture into all the other South Indian languages - Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada. By producing Nerkonda Paarvai, I am finally giving shape to her dreams.” The film stars the iconic Tamil actor Ajith in the role of the lawyer fighting a sexual harassment case which Amitabh Bachchan played in the original Hindi film Pink. Sridevi and Ajith had worked together briefly in the Tamil version of English Vinglish. And she felt he was the right actor for the role. Says Boney gratefully, “I owe my career and my life to the South Indian film industry. A majority of my productions have been remakes of Tamil and Telugu films. So my career was made in the South. And the South gave me my life, my wife.” Also Read: Nerkonda Paarvai: Boney Kapoor thinks here’s how Ajith can inspire his kids Janhvi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor! https://ift.tt/31jOZO2

Amitabh Bachchan's iconic tune of Kaun Banega Crorepati gets a special touch by music composer duo Ajay - Atul Amitabh Bachchan's iconic tune of Kaun Banega Crorepati gets a special touch by music composer duo Ajay - Atul In its 11th season, the much-awaited show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), has a lot in store for the viewers. This time around, the tune, which is more than enough to rake up a host of emotions amongst the audience, will sound grander and much more impactful. What is it that will be different about this tune that most of India has grown up with? For starters, music director and composer duo – Ajay Atul have added their special touch to this iconic tune. The exceptionally talented duo is not just known for their exemplary understanding of folk music but intricate instruments and unique orchestration as well. The KBC tune is etched in the minds of the audience for years. It’s not just a tune but an emotion that people relate to. This season, KBC promises to be much grander and the tune is just the beginning! When contacted, the musical duo Ajay – Atul had this to say – “It’s an honour for us to be associated with an iconic show like Kaun Banega Crorepati. When we were approached for the KBC tune, the question for us was not what we can do with it, but how much leap we can take with a melody that has already been etched in the minds of millions. But we are happy with the new flavour that we have managed to infuse in the tune – it has an orchestral symphony that makes the original melody sound more epic and magnificent. We hope that this composition strikes a chord with the audience just like the original one.” ALSO READ: PICTURES: Amitabh Bachchan starts shooting for KBC as soon as he wraps Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo https://ift.tt/2KA0ZEe

An institution falls: J Om Prakash no more An institution falls: J Om Prakash no more To anyone who refers to the iconic producer-director J Om Prakash as Hrithik Roshan’s maternal grandfather, one can only say, ignorance is bliss. J Om Prakash blazed a glorious trail with his superhit slew of films from 1961 when he first produced the Rajendra Kumar-Vyjanthimala starrer Aas Ka Panchi. The film and its songs were runaway hits and Omji was back producing Ayee Milan Ki Bela three years later, again a hit. With Aaye Din Bahaar Ke and Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke (both featuring Dharmedra and Asha Parekh) following in quick succession , Omji acquired the reputation of a hit machine with chartbuster music largely composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. In 1972 Omji produced Aankhon Aankhon Mein with his son-in-law Rakesh Roshan in the lead. But somehow Omji films with his son-in-law never clicked, and that goes for Aakhir Kyon and Aap Ke Saath as well. The big superhits of J Om Prakash in the 1970s starred Jeetendra. Beginning with Apnaapan in 1977 J Om Prakash and Jeetendra teamed up for four other films including the 1980 blockbuster Asha. “We had a terrific rapport,” Jeetendra recall fondly. Asha Parekh who did two back-to-back hits Aaye Din Bahaar Ke and Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke with Omji remembers him as a gentleman. “He was soft-spoken and very knowledgeable about cinema specially music. The songs in the two films I did with him were all big hits.” Omji worked with many major stars including Rajesh Khanna in Aap Ki Kasam, Aakarman and Aakhir Kyon. But his favourites were clearly Jeetendra and Reena Roy. While the world saw Reena as a oomphy glamour girl Omji cast her in strong dramatic parts in Apnaapan , Asha and Aadmi Khilona Hai. In 1974, after producing a gallery of hits as a producer (including, believe it or not, Gulzar’s Aandhi) Omji finally turned director with the hit Aap Ki Kasam, featuring Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. To this day this film is remembered for its scintillating soundtrack by R D Burman including ‘Karvatein Badalte Rahe’ (shot in Kashmir), ‘Jai Jai Shiv Shankar’ and the quasi-philosophical Kishore Kumar classic ‘Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzar Jaate Hain Jo Muqaam Wohphir Nahin Aate’. In his distinguished 40-year career as a movie maker J Om Prakash broke many rules and also made new rules. If he directed a disaster called Aashiq Hoon Baharon Ka in 1977 (shot in foreign locations with Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat Aman) he also produced and directed the monster hit Apnaapan during the same year. Prolific and passionate, Omji’s cinema is far more valuable than we think. Chartbusters from the films of J Om Prakash 1. 'Tum Roothi Raho Main Manaata Rahun' (Aas Ka Panchi) 2. 'Tumhe Aur Kya Dun Main Dil Ki Siwaai' (Aayee Milan Ki Bela) 3. 'Suno Sajna Papihe Ne' (Aaye Din Bahaar Ke) 4. 'Resham Ki Dori' (Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke) 5. 'Jai Jai Shiv Shankar' (Aap Ki Kasam) 6. 'Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa' (Aandhi) 7. 'Aadmi Musafir Hai' (Apnaapan) 8. 'Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho' (Aasha) 9. 'Pardes Jaa Ke Pardesia' (Arpan) 10. 'Dushman Na Kare Dost Ne Wohkaam Kiya Hai' (Aakhir Kyon) Also Read: Hrithik Roshan’s grandfather, veteran filmmaker J Om Prakash passes away https://ift.tt/2yJ0GS9

J. Om Prakash: Ever a student J. Om Prakash: Ever a student He was much more than just Hrithik Roshan’s maternal grandfather as today’s generation may know him. J. Om Prakash was a unique personality. Son of a humble Lahore schoolteacher from pre-Partition days who rose to become an educationist, he took to heart his father’s dictum that in life, whatever one may achieve, one must always remain a student. And so his cinematic journey ended with distinction not just as a filmmaker but also in the industry. He was President of IMPPA, the Film Producers’ Guild for six years continuously, and also headed the Film Federation of India, in which capacity he visited the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 and got special appreciation for his views about whether stars should share a film’s intellectual rights. He had also been a trustee of artistes’ welfare funds and on the advisory panels of the Directorate of Film Festivals and Central Board of Film Certification and a lecturer at the Pune Film Institute. He was awarded for Lifetime Achievement by the Asian Guild Of London in 2004. As for his cinema, his films were family entertainers, often with messages on life. When I met J. Om Prakash way back in 2006, his sanctum sanctorum was full of trophies and photograph albums. His picture with Lata Mangeshkar stood next to a big plasma TV screen. When I met him again in 2017, his memory was not what it was, but he still had the clarity to inform me that he bought his Juhu bungalow only because his favourite hero, Dharmendra, told him to pay his last instalment after their film Aya Sawan Jhoom Ke (1969) was released and use the money to buy the house now! Om-ji worked at a film distributor’s office in Lahore, moving up from clerical jobs to manager. After Partition, he landed in Mumbai, sleeping nights in trains. Because of his accounting skills, he got a job with the late Mohan Segal, who was then making New Delhi. He lived in a chawl in Mumbai’s Chinchpokli area and developed friendship with fellow-inmate Rajendra Kumar, making a mutual promise to work together! One day, Om-ji got an offer from a financier to produce a film and the result was the beginning of his top banner Filmyug and a big setup Aas Ka Panchi with Vyjayantimala, Rajendra Kumar, Shankar Jaikishan, Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra. He also signed on Mohan Segal’s assistant, the late Mohan Kumar, as a director. Later, Mohan Kumar and he have married sisters. Around this time, Om-ji happened to read the review of a Malayalam film in Blitz and was inspired by this story of a woman whose fidelity is doubted by her husband. By the time he realizes his mistake, it is too late. This was exactly the kind of different social subject he was looking for to become a director. But he wisely decided to wait until Filmyug was consolidated as a banner. And that took a decade, and was to be Aap Ki Kasam! He then delivered a bevy of hits as producer in Ayee Milan Ki Bela, Aaye Din Bahaar Ke, Aaya Sawan Jhoom Ke and Aan Milo Sajana, introducing talents like directors Raghunath Jhalani in the second film and Mukul Dutt in the last. And when he finally made his debut as director with Aap Ki Kasam, B.R.Chopra called him up to say, “This does not look like the first film of a director. It has the touch of a veteran.” Om-ji does not exactly recollect how he became the first filmmaker to have an ‘A’ fixation in his titles. There were only two exceptions in the 20-plus films he made—Raja Rani and Bhagwan Dada. Om-ji always believed in being involved with every aspect of a film—the script, music, sets, camerawork, editing and even costumes. As a director, he had a good record with Apnapan, Aasha and Aakhir Kyon? And his films were meant for family audiences. “My heroines, even in the 1980s, wore sleeved blouses. Back in my school and college days, I would play the harmonium for stage plays. Qateel Shifai and Faiz Ahmed Faiz were my friends and I would also attend mushairas and read their books as I came to love Urdu. From there came my sense of lyrics and music. In fact I would often suggest thoughts to my lyrics writer and gave the rare mukhda to my music directors.” A man with an unerring ear for lyrics and music, Om-ji worked in 13 films with lyricist Anand Bakshi and 12 movies with composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal, besides getting the best out of his rarer composers like Shankar-Jaikishan, R.D. Burman and Rajesh Roshan and other songwriters. He had a very good word to say about Kalyanji-Anandji, who scored the music for his unreleased Sahara. “Today, when Saregama gives a 10 percent royalty to the producer, I comfortably get about Rs 15-20 lakhs annually! This shows how being particular about music helps,” he told me. The cult songs from him are legion—‘Tum Kamsin Ho Nadaan Ho’ (Ayee Milan Ki Bela), ‘Khat Likh Le Sawariya Ke Naam’ (Aaye Din Bahaar Ke). ‘O Maanjhi Chal’ (Aaya Sawan Jhoom Ke), ‘Accha To Hum Chalte Hain’ (Aan Milo Sajana), ‘Yeh Mausam Aaya Hai’ (Aakraman), ‘Zindagi Ke Safar Mein’ (Aap Ki Kasam), ‘Sheesha Ho Ya Dil Ho’ (Aasha), ‘Ek Andhera Lakh Sitaren’ (Aakhir Kyon?) and many more. Among stars, he had excellent relations with all the top names he worked with, and usually more than once—Rajendra Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Asha Parekh, Reena Roy and Smita Patil among others. And one actor, Rakesh Roshan, ended up marrying his daughter Pinky. As we have seen, J. Om Prakash is much more than the grandfather of Hrithik Roshan! As he put it, “Bhagwan Dada was a landmark film for me. Hrithik had a small role as a kid in that film and I was good enough a judge of talent to realize that he was super-star material 15 years before Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai. Today, I realize with great joy that I was right, and that no actor of his generation can touch him!” He also raves about son-in-law Rakesh Roshan, who “actually gifted me a room in his Filmkraft Productions office, and designed everything, taking the trouble of bringing all my things and arranging them immaculately here, from my trophies to my smallest personal stationery.” The eternal student is no more, but has given so much for others to learn. https://ift.tt/2KvdtgF

Exclusive: Ajay Devgn turned down Satte Pe Satta remake and will NEVER do an Amitabh Bachchan remake! Exclusive: Ajay Devgn turned down Satte Pe Satta remake and will NEVER do an Amitabh Bachchan remake! Recently, we had informed you that Sohail Khan was keen to make the remake of Satte Pe Satta (1982), with his brother Salman Khan playing the main lead. Now we have heard that after Salman, even Ajay Devgn, had been approached to play the lead but he firmly and categorically refused. The original Satte Pe Satta (1982) was produced by Romu Sippy and directed by Raj N Sippy and the remake rights are said to be with Rajesh Vasani, of movie marketing firm, Paras Publicity Services. Says a trade source, “Recently, Hrithik Roshan confirmed that he is in talks with Farah Khan for her next movie, the remake of Satta Pe Satta, produced by Rohit Shetty, but after Sohail Khan’s deal with Rajesh Vasani fell through, Ajay Devgn was approached to play Amitabh Bachchan’s role (Ravi Anand). But Ajay was firm on the issue that he would never do a remake of the Big B and explained to the producers why he would not do a Big B remake. At that time, though Rohit Shetty was not producing the movie, even then Ajay would have turned it down. Ajay is a man of principles. Even when a producer or director approaches Ajay for a movie, he knows another actor has been approached for too, he makes it a point to call up the other actor and ask him before he gives his own nod to the project.” The source adds that the younger star is extremely close to the Bachchan family and like Abhishek Bachchan is clear that he will never be a part of an Amitabh Bachchan remake. “It’s a double role and Ajay would have been perfect to play the older brother and the impersonator Babu with grey shades so it would have been challenging role for any actor to play. Ajay has tremendous respect and affection for Bachchan Senior. Also, he considers Abhishek to be like a younger brother, to do a movie which could put stress on the relationships. Ajay was one of the few stars to attend Abhishek marriage. While Shah Rukh Khan has done Big B’s Don (1978) remake directed by Farhan Akhtar (2006), if Hrithik gives the nod to Farah’s Satte Pe Satta remake, it will be his second Amitabh Bachchan movie remake. Hrithik had done the remake of Big B’s Agneepath (1990) directed by Mukul S Anand. Hrithik’s 2012 Agneepath remake was directed by Karan Malhotra.” Satte Pe Satta is about seven brothers (orphans), living on a farmhouse, led by their oldest brother Ravi Anand (Amitabh Bachchan), who are taught manners and etiquette by a nurse Indu (Hema Malini). But everything becomes chaotic when Ravi’s lookalike and impersonator, Babu, turns up. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini, Satte Pe Satta (1982) featured Sachin, Shakti Kapoor, Paintal, Sudhir, Inderjeet and Vikram Sahu as the rest of the six Anand brothers and Amjad Khan, Ranjeeta Kaur, Sarika, Kanwaljit Singh, Prema Narayan, Mac Mohan and Kalpana Iyer in other roles. The movie is an adaptation of the American musical film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Article 370 Scrapped: Ashoke Pandit speaks about bifurcation of Jammu & Kashmir, Anurag Kashyap and Kamal Haasan's criticism on the decision and Bollywood's future Article 370 Scrapped: Ashoke Pandit speaks about bifurcation of Jammu & Kashmir, Anurag Kashyap and Kamal Haasan's criticism on the decision and Bollywood's future Home Minister Amit Shah, on August 5, announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government decided to revoke Article 370 of the Constitution that which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Under the proposed law Amit Shah introduced in Rajya Sabha on August 5 at 11 am, he said Jammu and Kashmir will now be a Union Territory with the legislature, and not a state, while, Ladakh is to be a Union Territory without legislation. Since the announcement, the nation has had a widespread reaction over the decision of the government. While many have welcomed the decision and called it important, some criticized it. Bollywood Hungama spoke to filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who not only hails from the state, but has always very positive about the decision made by the government. “It's not just from Bollywood perspective but I, myself, hail from there (Jammu & Kashmir). I am citizen of that state. It might sound political but it was a big human issue for me because Article 370 and Article 35A, according to me, was cancelled due to which Jammu and Kashmir never grew. It was misused by the families which ruled Kashmir. The three families - Congress family (Nehru family), Mufti Mohammed Sayeed family and the Abdullah family. So these families got into the business of terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir. They looted the money, the tax payers’ money of the entire country. The funds were diverted to that place, we lost so many security forces, and we lost so many people. Jammu & Kashmir became a ground of bleeding. The neighbours started using this, you know, constitutional hierarchy in Jammu & Kashmir; you know it was gift of Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru to the country, which was unnecessary,” Akshoke Pandit said. Speaking about the decision, the filmmaker further said, “I feel this surgery was very much required. And it has been done and now you will see a different Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh where you will see every Ladadkhi progressing, every Jammu person progressing, every Kashmiri Muslim progressing, every Kashmiri Hindu progressing. The entire state will start progressing. Now, that they are Union territories, there can be separate concentration on different places. The funds that used to go for Jammu & Kashmir was fully used in Srinagar and in the valley and Jammu and Ladakh were always sidelined. So, there was never a growth in both these places. So it's a great move taken and only Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji could have taken this decision. You know, this was a very big risk and I really appreciate the way it was planned, the way it was strategized and the way things were taken into control. It didn't allow any person to lose his life; it didn't create any riot because things were properly planned. So, we are hoping for a very hopeful and positive Jammu & Kashmir now.” “I am telling you that locals of Jammu and Kashmir especially the valley, where there is no problem, are going to support this move because everybody wants to grow and succeed in their lives. Everybody wants to prosper especially the young generation, the youth. That's why the maximum people from Kashmir used to go out of Kashmir and do their education. You know, the kids of terrorists, they are all studying abroad. They are not in Kashmir. The kids, who were not used to going out, were used to throwing stones on the security forces. The next generation will understand the importance of this law being passed now,” he added. While celebrities like Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, Dia Mirza, Ekta Kapoor among others are supporting the governmen’t decision, Anurag Kashyap and Kamal Haasan have criticized it. "It is extremely regressive and autocratic. Article 370 and 35A have a genesis. Any change has to be in a consultative manner," Kamal Haasan said who ventured into politics and launched his party Makkal Needhi Maiam or MNM in Tamil Nadu, last year. Anurag Kashyap took to Twitter and wrote, "You know what is scary, that One Man thinks that he knows exactly what’s the right thing to do for the benefit of 1,200,000,000 people and has the access to the power to execute it." You know what is scary, that One man thinks that he knows exactly what’s the right film to be made to entertain 1,20,000,000 people and then his film flops. Kashyap Sahab @narendramodi has fulfilled his promise made to the nation. और हाँ , रात को ट्वीट करना बंद कर दो ! https://t.co/nJPa0vNqHP — Ashoke Pandit (@ashokepandit) August 6, 2019 When asked about the criticism received from the industry members, Ashoke Pandit says, “See, Anurag Kashyap's problem is he tweets when he is drunk in the night. So, he is not in senses. So I don't take his tweets seriously. Whatever tweets I see early morning, I know he is not in his senses. So, I don't consider it. See, Anurag Kashyap and Kamal Haasan have nothing to do with Kashmir. I'm a person who has suffered the major genocide in the Kashmir valley and I have been thrown out of the place and Article 370 is one of the major reasons for that. And Article 35A also. So, major cleaning required in Jammu & Kashmir has been done. I know it how we are going to progress now. I don't care for these fashionable actors who live in these air conditioned rooms and pass judgments. They have an agenda – political agenda, personal agenda – which they want to fulfill but that’s not going to happen now because they stand exposed. Nobody cares for their opinion now that’s why they post their opinions. And Mr. Kashyap doesn’t know the ABCD of Jammu & Kashmir. So, it doesn’t matter. The country is lauding it, the world and we who are suppressed are lauding it. So, nobody can be bigger than ‘we’ who have suffered because of Article 370. If I am supporting the bill and the change of law, nobody can question my thought process because you know, I am part and parcel of that land which Mr. Kashyap and Kamal Hasaan are not. They have a dislike towards Mr. Narendra Modi and so they will never like anything what Narendra Modi does. They have a psychological problem. So, I don’t waste by time on such reactions of so called filmmakers and people from the industry. I don’t even care. Mr. Kashyap is a kind of person, even if there is a problem in his tap, he writes a post to Modi. If water is not coming in his house, he tweets to Modi. The kind of hate they possess towards the Prime Minister is what is making them post whatever decision that is made by the government.” In the olden days, Kashmir was the top spot for the film industry. Due to growing tension, the shooting became lesser and lesser in the valley. With the new decision, how does it affect Bollywood in future? Ashoke Pandit adds, “I think it’s great re-opening for the entire entertainment industry – not only film industry but television and ad industry. Now, things are going to be very positive for them, things will be very good. There will be a lot of job opportunities especially youths of Kashmir will take on, will see to it there is peace. Things will start coming back and you will see a lot of Kashmir in the films. These so called terrorist organizations and political parties saw to it that Jammu & Kashmir was always being negated and that it is under wrong impression and wrong images being created of J&K. Now, that those people are redundant in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, things will be under control and properly done. The fear psychosis will go out fully. I am quite sure about it.” There has been speculation that the makers Sadak 2 starring Alia Bhatt and helmed by Mahesh Bhatt have decided to postpone their shoot in Kashmir after the decision. There has been unrest and it seems like a precaution. Ashoke Pandit says, “There is no unrest. It’s just a precaution that has been taken now. See, if you give a patient an injection, the pain remains for sometime but then you are cured, right? So the injection as been given yesterday and the pain of that injection will remain for some time. But, finally you are cured. You will come bouncing back and see the earlier Kashmir. Our return to valley is very important and we are very sure about it.” So, would the film industry be able to shoot in future? Ashoke Pandit says, “Absolutely! Now, it will be more easy and more organized because those people who were in the business of terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir, their powers are gone. They are redundant now and they are nobody in J&K. It’s a proper government which will rule in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Ladakh is very happy, Jammu is very happy and 95% of Kashmir is very happy with this. Only 5% of those who are into business of terrorism are unhappy.” https://ift.tt/31l2Nb0

“Yes, Govinda was offered Avatar,” a co-star reveals all “Yes, Govinda was offered Avatar,” a co-star reveals all While the memes and jokes about Govinda’s elevated Hollywood aspirations have not died down, the actor stands by his words reiterating that he was indeed approached to do Avatar by its director James Cameron. Now, a co-star of Govinda, who has done many successful films with him, has revealed that Govinda’s claims are probably true. “He was always talking about the films that were offered to him. And I remember he mentioned to me that he had been offered Avatar way back in 2006 - 2007. So, it is quite possible that this offer did come his way. Why do we have to doubt him, just because it is Hollywood and James Cameron?” asks the co-star. However, trade analyst and senior journalist Amod Mehra says Govinda was offered a completely different Aivatar. Says Mehra, “For your information, Govinda did work in a film entitled Avatar. Though it’s complete, it is not being released. The producer is PahlajNihalani. In this Avatar, Govinda plays a sports coach.” Sunny Deol was also part of this aborted project. Speaking about this Avatar in 2012, Govinda had said, “Avatar is my first motivational film. It’s about a bunch of rowdy college kids and I come to motivate the students.” Could this be the Avatar that Govinda is mistakenly talking about? “Could be,” says Amod Mehra. “The big difference is that James Cameron’s Avatar was all blue. Govinda’s Avatar is in the red.” However, Pahlaj Nihalani, who made the desi Avatar, says there’s no room for any confusion. “Do I look anything like James Cameron?” Also Read: After Avatar, Govinda claims he was offered Chunni Lal’s role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas https://ift.tt/2yInrFM

VIDEO: Jackie Shroff’s views on saving the environment is going viral VIDEO: Jackie Shroff’s views on saving the environment is going viral Jackie Shroff is one celebrity who has garnered a fan following not only for his acting but also for his mannerisms and the way he talks. Recently, the actor was seen attending a tree plantation drive in Lonavala alongside Kajol, her son, and her mother. At the event, the actors got their hands dirty as they planted saplings for future generations. However, it was Shroff’s views on saving the environment that have gone viral. Speaking to the media about the importance of planting trees, Jackie said, “Jhaad laga ke maine koi upkar nahin kiya Hindustan pe na duniye pe. Sab ka kaam hai lagane ka, lagao. Nahin lagaane ka hai, toh maro ja ke (I am not doing any service to the nation or the world by planting trees. Everybody should plant trees, and if you won't, you'll die)”. Further continuing with his explanation on why we should save the environment he added, “Wahi hone wala hai; apun ko apne bachche ke bachche ka sochne ka hai. Apun ka dada kabar mein hai. Baaki bhi toh aayenge apne pilley; apna Tiger baba ka bhi chota Tiger aayega; aap logon ka aayega. Sab Tiger ghar mein hai... Toh samjha karo bhidu, unke liye apne ko chhodne ka jhaad paan, khana sahi, paani sahi, hawa sahi.. baaki logon ke dimaag mein zeher waise hi kam ho jayega... That’s what I am saying.

PICTURES: Radhika Apte overcomes her fear of being dropped in the middle of an ocean! PICTURES: Radhika Apte overcomes her fear of being dropped in the middle of an ocean! Radhika Apte believes that learning is an ongoing process and learning new skills helps in developing better, as a person. The actress has recently learned deep-sea diving and she shares her experience of her new ventures, so far. The actress started her diving journey last year when one of her director friends introduced it to her. Within a night Radhika made a decision that this is something which she would want to attempt. Her first dive was at the Maldives, talking about it Radhika shares, "My first dive was at a depth of 60 meters, and as I made my descent, I grew profoundly conscious of the sheer expanse of the seas. Then, as I swam past exotic, aquatic creatures, it felt meditative. Taking in all of this can be a humbling experience, and you realize your insignificant presence in this university. "The experience of observing marine life and corals at such close quarters is a sensory experience like no other. I was bitten by the diving bug, and have, since, hunted for opportunities to explore marine life at other popular diving spots around the world. Aside from the Maldives, I've dived in the Dead Sea and in Egypt. From being mesmerized by the tiniest of creatures in their natural habitat to swimming with sharks, sea lions, and dolphins, my underwater adventures have been educational and euphoric on equal parts." she further adds. The underwater diving experience is very different and soothing on which Radhika says, "The first thing that occurs to you as you descend is how surreal this experience is. Time slows down, and you swift your focus to negotiations changing currents and temperatures". All the activities like these are very risky and prone to mishaps, Radhika was no exception to it and had her share of it, recollecting one the situations the actress shares, "I've also had my shares of misadventures. The most memorable scare was when we were caught in a down current -- this is a situation where one feels that one is swimming upwards, but is actually being pushed downwards by the current. Since I was with seasonal professionals, I was able to get through it without any injuries. With proper and training and adhering to the fundamentals, diving is, after all, a fairly safe recreational spot." "The greatest takeaway has been that fear only exists in our thoughts. It's a product of one's imagination and, more often than not, not real at all", shares her takeaway from the experience. Radhika Apte’s versatility as an actor and honest persona are the most endearing traits of her. Our very own Indie star, known for her brave choices of films has spread her charms with top-notch roles- be it films or OTT platforms. The actress who has been constantly seen on the digital space has also been lovingly called ‘omnipresent’ all across. On the work front, Radhika will be next seen in a Hollywood project namely Liberté and also a Bollywood film named Raat Akeli Hai for which she shot in Lucknow recently.

25 Years Of Hum Aapke Hai Koun: With today’s ticket prices, this classic has earned MIND-BOGGLING Rs. 711 crores! 25 Years Of Hum Aapke Hai Koun: With today’s ticket prices, this classic has earned MIND-BOGGLING Rs. 711 crores! Many film lovers and historians don’t consider Hum Aapke Hai Koun as just another blockbuster. For them, it’s a milestone of sorts which brought many changes in the way we saw cinema and these changes can still be seen to this day. The film had a thorough influence on the idea of marriages in India. Many communities in India didn’t have the custom of hiding a groom’s shoes but it became commonplace after this well-made entertainer! Also, it was rare film of that era which didn’t have violence and a villain. Yet, there was enough tension generated in the second half and viewers came out thoroughly satisfied. It was a formula used well in few films in the 60s and 70s but with Hum Aapke Hai Koun, this trend got a boost and was seen in many other films later on. Its songs were a rage then, and are memorable even today. To have almost dozen tracks in a film and to have someone breaking into a song in any situation and yet not boring the audience was a feat. And of course, the performances are exemplary by one and all – Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Renuka Shahane, Mohnish Bahl, Laxmikant Berde, Alok Nath etc. The dog Redo also played a crucial part and won the hearts across the country! But the real winner was undoubtedly writer-director Sooraj Barjatya. He put together the whole film so well and knew it’ll work, even when initial reviews slammed the film and called it a ‘wedding video’ But apart from all these achievements, Hum Aapke Hai Koun is also remembered today for its juggernaut box office performance. The strategy today is to release the film in maximum number of screens. Hum Aapke Hai Koun then released in around 35 cinemas, which was still lower than the norm then. The idea was to increase the prints, once the film became popular. As a result, the first day collections of the film were simply Rs. 10 lakhs. The same day – August 5, 1994 – another film also released, Vijaypath. Starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, it released in around 200 screens and earned Rs. 51 lakhs on Day 1. By the end of the first weekend, Hum Aapke Hai Koun had netted just Rs. 29 lakhs while Vijaypath had managed to accumulate Rs. 1.44 crores. In Week 1, the former earned Rs. 58 lakhs. As for Vijaypath, it had made a healthy collection of Rs. 2.41 crores. In its lifetime, Vijaypath earned Rs. 6.45 crores. And Hum Aapke Hai Koun earned, believe it or not, Rs. 72.47 crores! This was a time when even earning Rs. 9-10 crore lifetime was an achievement. With each passing week, the craze increased tremendously and soon it was playing in hundreds of screens across the country. As a result, the film earned more than the previous weeks and this went on for almost 25-30 weeks. A year later, it became tax-free in Maharashtra reportedly and this must have also given a boost to the film’s earnings. Recently, there were articles in the West as to how the recently released blockbuster Avengers: Endgame defeated the 2009 sci-fi flick Avatar to become the biggest movie in history. Several experts pointed that the 1938 classic love saga Gone With The Wind was a bigger hit, when adjusted for inflation. Avengers: Endgame has collected $2.79 billion worldwide while Gone With The Wind made around $3.44 billion worldwide with today’s ticket prices! Similarly, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’s Hindi version is seen as the biggest hit in the history of Hindi cinema, with its collections of Rs. 510.99 crores. But if we talk of Hum Aapke Hai Koun, then its adjusted nett gross comes to around Rs. 711.29 crores! This mind-boggling figure shows what sort of a historic blockbuster this family entertainer was. This film managed to earn so much as it was seen by 7.4 crore people, which is also the highest domestic footfalls of any Hindi film released since the 1990s. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion was seen by around 5.25 crore viewers. In the years to come, some film will surely go past the Rs. 711.29 crores figure of Hum Aapke Hai Koun. But thanks to the newer avenues of entertainment and rising ticket prices, it’s unfortunate that probably no film will ever have as much footfalls as Hum Aapke Hai Koun! On the 25th anniversary of this flick, we salute the makers for achieving the impossible and making a record that no film might be able to ever break even in the future! https://ift.tt/2Zt97Nf

The silly game of title-changing The silly game of title-changing Judgmentall Hai Kya: So what’s wrong with this title? Many things! For one, the spelling of the first word—a mental case, seemingly, but not really—it is just Ekta Kapoor’s numerology in action! Two, there is no question mark: probably the same explanation, but then, Hindi films have not been exactly known to respect grammar! And three and most important, the fairly last-minute objection by psychiatrists to the use of the original title that was Mental Hai Kya. The story shows that the older title did fit—this one really does not!—but the use of the word Mental (though in free colloquial use—you cannot change mindsets en masse!) was anyway objectionable. Our grouse is: why not go for a totally different, apt title? With a little effort, that could have been done. And we are not being judgmental but factual! And yes, for reasons unknown, maybe before any objections could arise all of five years ago, the makers of Mental had renamed their film Jai Ho!. In any case, we all know the recent case of LoveYatri, again a ridiculous change from an extra-constitutional objection to the original Loveratri. This title was a smart spin on a cute love story that began and ended with two consecutive Navratri festivals, but a wise guy objected to this title defiling the Hindu festival of Navratri! Once again, the filmmakers were lazy enough not to think of a better title, for love stories are so endemic that any name could have found, and in any case, LoveYatri, itself not a word, suited the story only to a token extent. Another extra-constitutional change was demanded when Sanjay Leela Bhansali named his film Padmaavat after being forced to amend his original title Padmavati last year. At first hearing, the new title of Padmaavat did not make sense, but then, the filmmakers justified it by saying that the film was loosely based on a poem of that name by Malik Muhammad Jayasi that had been written on the queen! However, just as many precincts and roads in Mumbai are still known by their original British-day names than the changed ones, most common people and even some media persons refer to this film by the older, more appropriate name. Bhansali was twice unlucky: a la LoveYatri, his previous tragic love story, Ram-Leela also faced trouble, as religious extremists objected to the catchy title, equating it stupidly with the Navratri Ramlila, as if unaware that people can be named Ram and Leela and they can have a love story between them! This time, the change was inventive and befitting the story: Goliyon Ki RasLeela: Ram-Leela, yet so eccentric (and long!) that finally people still refer to it as Ram-Leela! And yes, everyone knows the film has nothing to do with religion or mythology! But the petulant spoilsports who objected to the name ignored the fact that no objections had been raised to action potboiler with titles like Shiva, Shiv-Raam, Shankar Shambhu, Krishnavtar, Ram-Avtar, Gautam Govinda, Krishna and many more in the past, with the title of Hare Rama Hare Krishna used for a film where drugs occupied center-stage! Guess people were less stressed and thus more tolerant then! And the barber community cut a sorry figure when they felt they were being singled out for ridicule when they made producer Shah Rukh Khan change the title of his Billu Barber to Billu! So what if barbers were not made fun of, and the film would not have done well even if it had been called something else, because it simply did not connect with the audience! But the most ridiculous change of all was easily R…Rajkumar! Originally titled Rambo Rajkumar, the seeming objection to this name came from the makers of the original Rambo, but there was no real reason to bow down. One, many films made abroad have identical titles, as can be observed on IMDB’s portal. There are proper noun titles that have been made everywhere, and so many common ones of all kinds even between India and Pakistan! And two, no one protested when we used titles of foreign films like Love Story, Rocky (twice) and more! But still, the filmmakers could have, again, been more inventive for a routine potboiler remake of a Southern actioner! What was the whole idea of R… before Rajkumar? Dotty indeed! The vital point may be noted that each of these films worked or did not on pure merit and not due to their names. And so, it would seem that titles are not really important. But that too is a fallacy! We have had improvements done on titles midway that must have helped, by the makers themselves, and proof of this can be seen in Love Aaj Kal which was earlier called Elastic (believe it or nuts!) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which had a working title of Running With The Bulls. Are we tempted to say, “What bull”? https://ift.tt/2ZD5kx6

The production had made elaborate security plans but they couldn’t anticipate the sheer numbers in which people descended on the location to see Ranveer live and in action,” says an eyewitness from Southall!

Friendship Day Special: Filmland friendships are real Friendship Day Special: Filmland friendships are real Rivalry be damned, actors today are far too secure in their space to look anxiously over their shoulder at what the other actors are doing. There was a time when the A-listers could never be friends, not really, not unless there was a photographer around to catch them smiling together. Otherwise it was as impossible for the yesteryears’ superstars to be friends as it was for them to work together. Hence Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand, the reigning superstars of the 1950s had their own mutually exclusive fan clubs and fans. Raj and Dilip did come together for one film Andaz in 1949. But thereafter they refuse to work together again. Raj invited Dilip Kumar to play the other hero in the film. Dilip refused. The role went to Rajendra Kumar who was known as the poor man’s Dilip Kumar. In the 1960s it was no better. The top stars Rajendra Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Manoj Kumar, Biswajeet, Raj Kumar, and Dharmendra hardly ever met let alone socialized together. Recalls Dharmendra, “We were cordial to one another but not friends as such. All of us would pack up our respective shootings and rush home to be with the family. There was no non-stop partying back then. We met at film premieres, and that too rarely.” With the iconic actresses of the 1960s it was different. Waheeda Rehman, Sadhana, Vyjanthimala, Asha Parekh and Nanda were close friends and some of them remain close to this day. Recalls Asha, “There was no rivalry or competition among us.None of us was replaceable. If a producer wanted Waheeda he went to her only. There was no Plan B. If they wanted me they came to me. We were all happy doing our own thing.” The atmosphere changed drastically in the 1970s when Rajesh Khanna’s superstardom decimated all competition. One of the other leading actors of the 1970s told me, “Rajesh Khanna took over the market completely. All of us were struggling for survival. It was Rajesh Khanna all the way. There was no question of being friends with our colleagues. We were all strugglers fighting to get roles rejected by Kaka (Rajesh Khanna).” Rajesh Khanna not only made sure he had no competition he also ensured the top heroines were at loggerheads. Sharmila Tagore and Mumtaz were vying to be cast opposite Khanna. Hema Malini and Zeenat Aman were vastly removed from one another in their screen image and the mutual friends that they had. And then came Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. There was no love lost between the two divas. When Amitabh Bachchan took over from Rajesh Khanna the atmosphere scarcely lightened. The fierce Bachchan-Shatrughan Sinha rivalry is well –known. Laughs Shatruji, “We were rivals, competitors. And when we worked together in Kala Patthar and Dostana I got more praise. Naturally, I was not considered a friend.” The Khan superstars Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir blow hot and blow cold about their relationship. But they never really felt comfortable amongst themselves. All that has changed now. The new generation of actors and actresses are very comfortable in their own space. Kareena Kapoor is everyone’s favourite. Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor hang out together. So does Varun Dhawan and Arjun. Parineeti is too much in awe of her cousin Priyanka Chopra to see her as a rival. Katrina Kaif adores Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor-Jacqueline Fernandez have been friends for some years now. Deepika is very comfortable with Priyanka. And Ranbir fears no competition. “We all hang out together and we don’t worry about who’s doing which movie. All of us have enough work,” says Alia Bhatt happily.

Friendship’s Day Special: UNUSUAL and HEARTWARMING friendship bonds that viewers loved this year Friendship’s Day Special: UNUSUAL and HEARTWARMING friendship bonds that viewers loved this year Friendship is an essential element in most of our films. Yet there are times when there has been a drought of memorable friendship-based films. 2019 however has proved to be different. There have been at least ten films till now which depicted friendship in a touching manner and are worth talking about. Bollywood Hungama, in this special feature, throws light on ten such friendship bonds. 1. Vicky Kaushal-Yami Gautam and Vicky Kaushal-Kirti Kulhari (Uri – The Surgical Strike) The patriotic blockbuster also touched upon the relationship between Major Vihaan Singh Shergill (Vicky Kaushal) and his brother-in-law Major Karan Kashyap (Mohit Raina). This bit also was quite touching and the demise of the latter is one of the chief reasons why Vihaan decides to go for the surgical strike. But more touching was the equation shared by Vihaan with Pallavi (Yami Gautam) and Flight lieutenant Seerat Kaur (Kirti Kulhari). There was no hint of romance or love triangle and yet it made for a great watch. 2. Kangana Ranaut-Ankita Lokhande (Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi) Jhalkari Bai (Ankita Lokhande) belongs to the lower caste and yet, Rani Lakshmibai (Kangana Ranaut) treats her like an equal, at a time when casteism was rigid. So touched is this spunky village girl that she even gives up her life later on to help the Rani escape. 3. Sonam Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao (Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga) For Sahil Mirza (Rajkummar Rao), Sweety (Sonam Kapoor) is like a breath of fresh air and he falls for her in no time. But on knowing her sexual orientation and that she’s in love with someone of the same sex, Sahil doesn’t run away. He instead helps her in ensuring that the family accepts this union. The film has some very heart-warming characters but Sahil stands out for adhering to his friendship so well. 4. Ranveer Singh-Siddhant Chaturvedi (Gully Boy) This one will go in history as one of the finest friendship bonds ever shown in Hindi cinema. MC Sher (Siddhant Chaturvedi) is like a mentor to Murad (Ranveer Singh). Yet, there is also an equal friendship between the two. The fact that MC Sher gracefully accepts his defeat in the contest and genuinely feels happy for Murad makes the friendship even more special. 5. Talha Arshad Reshi-Vikas Kumar (Hamid) This is a film missed by many but deserves to be seen for the manner in which a relationship develops between the two. The young kid Hamid (Talha Arshad Reshi) calls a number which he believes is of Allah and he asks the person to help him get his father back, who’s missing. The person on the other side turns out to be a tough CRPF jawan Abhay (Vikas Kumar). They don’t meet each other and yet become important part of each other’s lives. This was a fine example of the most unconventional friendship that can happen in our times. 6. Akshay Kumar-36th regiment soldiers (Kesari) The friendship shown here moved viewers and how! Hawaldar Ishar Singh (Akshay Kumar) takes charge of the 36th Sikh regiment, comprising of 20 soldiers, in Saragarhi Fort. There’s friction between Ishar and the soldiers initially but it goes out of the window once they understand each other. And later on, audiences are left stunned when the hierarchy dissolvs and Ishar becomes one of them. The 21 soldiers then fight an army of 10,000 Afghan tribesmen and keep them engaged in a battle for hours. This is possible because they all help each other and even lay down their lives for the common goal. 7. Vidyut Jammwal and the elephant (Junglee) We have seen revenge sagas where protagonists avenge the killing of their parents or lovers. In Junglee, Raj (Vidyut Jammwal) fights the poachers for killing his best friend, an elephant that too. And why not? Friendship can be animals as well and this was shown in this flick. Raj’s closest friend since childhood is the mighty elephant Bhola. Their friendship is depicted beautifully and hence, one does feel the pain when Bhola is shot dead by the poachers. 8. Ajay Devgn-Tabu (De De Pyaar De) This bit is very sensitively handled. Ashish Mehra (Ajay Devgn) has divorced Manju (Tabu) and has left her and his family for years. But a turn of events brings them together. They soon realize that though their marriage fizzled out, they still need to stand up for each other. This part is depicted very well in the pre-climax and though it raised some eyebrows, majority of audiences wholeheartedly accepted it. 9. Salman Khan-Sunil Grover (Bharat) This isn’t unusual as such and is a typical hero and his sidekick kind of an association. Nevertheless, the friendship of Bharat (Salman Khan) and Vilayati Khan (Sunil Grover) is heart-warming and deserves to be talked about. That they remain friends for more than six decades and never leave each other is something that amazed viewers. 10. Shahid Kapoor-Soham Majumdar (Kabir Singh) Most viewers came out of Kabir Singh with multiple thoughts, one of them surely being ‘I wish I had a Shiva in my life’! That’s the impact generated by the dosti-yaari of Kabir Singh (Shahid Kapoor) and Shiva (Soham Majumdar) in this intense love story. Come what may, Shiva never abandons Kabir, even when the latter goes on a path of self-destruction. At one point, he even agrees to give his sister’s hand in marriage to Kabir just so that he stops harming himself! A lot of audiences were aghast but it just shows how much Shiva cared for his ally. https://ift.tt/2Ktad5p

KGF superstar Yash reveals details of Sanjay Dutt’s role in the franchise KGF superstar Yash reveals details of Sanjay Dutt’s role in the franchise Kannada superstar Yash who is busy shooting for the second chapter of the KGF franchise is most happy to welcome Sanjay Dutt into the fold. Says Yash, “Yes, he’s playing the arch villain named Adheera. The poster has evoked enormous interest. He starts shooting with us in August. We’re very happy to have him. He suits the role to perfection. But until all the formalities were completed we didn’t want to make any announcements. Now Mr. Sanjay Dutt is definitely with us.” Yash promises exceptional action scenes featuring the two. “Since he is pitched against me by the script there are going to be some major fight sequences between us. We’re working towards making the action sequences very special.” How special? I ask. “As special as Mr Dutt’s fans and my fans would expect them to be when we come together. It is very important for us to make sure everything is larger more crowd-pleasing this time than the last time. And I promise, you won’t be disappointed.” How important is Dutt’s presence in the KGF sequel? “Oh, very important!” exclaims Yash. “He propels the plot forward just as much as I do. The film can’t work without our characters. We’ve shot only 15-20 percent of the film so far. We were waiting for Mr Dutt to join us, which he will be doing very shortly.” Would Sanjay Dutt be speaking his own lines? “We have a full-fledged Hindi version this time. So yeah, Mr Dutt will speak his Hindi lines. We’ve actors from Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Karnataka and Mumbai. And they will bring their own cultural flavour to the table. But I must say KGF is not about the spoken language. The visuals and the emotions are the mainstay of the film. Everything that the audience will see and feel would add to the film’s strength as path-breaking franchise.” Engrossed in the shooting of the KGF shooting Yash doesn’t get enough time to spend with his 7-month old baby girl Ayra. “As soon as I pack up I rush to be with my daughter. There’s no place on this earth I’d rather be. Ayra has changed my life,” says the fond father. Yash and his wife Radhika are now expecting their second child. A son to complete the family? “Son or daughter we will welcome another baby with equal happiness. Having tasted the joy of parenthood we can’t wait to go into it again.” Also Read: On his 60th birthday, KGF: Chapter 2 makers unveil fierce first look of Sanjay Dutt as Adheera https://ift.tt/31asfjB

Karan Johar faces the worst year of his career Karan Johar faces the worst year of his career Being Karan Johar has always meant something sinfully posh. His name is more than a brand. It is a symbol of the High Life in Bollywood. Little did Karan know that a get-together last week with all his close A-list friends in Bollywood would land him in such serious trouble. It started with an Akali Dal MLA accusing the stars on attendance of taking drugs. Before this controversy could die down the MLA asked the stars to undergo a dope test. And now a lengthy letter has emerged on Twitter from an account named NotKangana which questions and challenges Karan’s hedonistic lifestyle, wonders how the video showing Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and others showing them high as kite, surfaced on Karan’s Instagram account. The letter also expresses a low opinion of Karan as a filmmaker. While Karan has rightly chosen to be mum, a close friend of the producer-director-socialite spoke to me asking, “Why is suddenly everyone gunning for Karan? Just because he had a colossal flop like Kalank this year? Everyone has ups and downs.” But the fact is, 2019 is one of the most terrible years for Karan and he has admitted as much to his close friends. Earlier this year he had the biggest flop of his career as a producer. If Kalank did poorly, Student Of The Year 2 which followed hasn’t exactly covered his career with glory. Then followed the controversy over the party at his residence. It looks like this is the year of blows for Karan. We hope he weathers the storm. A long vacation to an unknown destination with his mother and children is being planned. Also Read: Karan Johar’s parties accused of serving drugs? https://ift.tt/31gXVUC

Also, what one eats reflects on the body and skin. So, you should avoid junk food and eat healthy.” Her workout consists a variety of activities, weight training and muscle-building exercises as Disha Patani goes on to share, “I like to indulge in gymnastics, weight training and mixed martial arts to stay fit. Also, I try to not skip workout and train about six days a week”. Disha further adds that she follows her routine with sincerity but does give in to her cravings. “One day in a week is my cheat day, and I address my cravings then". And if you thought you were the only one who contemplates skipping workout on some days, you aren’t alone! “Like everyone else, I do it, too. There are times when I am in a mood to laze around and not hit the gym. During those situations, I am easy on myself and go for a jog,” says Disha Patani. For those looking for some motivation, Disha says that the key is to, “push oneself out of the comfort zone to achieve the goals and see the results”. But just pumping iron in the gym isn’t enough. She says, “One needs to strike a balance between both — diet and workout — as it’s equally important to stay healthy and exercise.” However, the actress warns that the fitness regime is no one-size-fitsall. She says, “It’s very subjective and people should always only set realistic standards, and not adhere to impractical fads. Follow what suits your bodies.” After starring in Salman Khan's Bharat, Disha Patani, will be seen next in Mohit Suri's Malang.

With 14 days to go for Sacred Games 2, Guruji Pankaj Tripathi makes a mysterious appearance With 14 days to go for Sacred Games 2, Guruji Pankaj Tripathi makes a mysterious appearance A fortnight before the games begin, Netflix hosts a sacred morning with the enigmatic character played by Pankaj Tripathi. It’s raining outside; the waves of the sea are crashing violently against the shore; outside, people are battling traffic and floods to get to work, waiting to meet just a moment of peace. And here you are -- dry, peaceful, serene, surrounded by some known faces and other unknown ones, watching a character come to life, one you’ve only glimpsed on screen for a split second. The man has an air of mystique, intrigue, and tranquility about him, and yet an unassuming sense of humour that catches you by surprise. For the first time ever, Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi) appeared in flesh and blood, seated in an ashram-like atmosphere, to introduce himself, share wisdom and insights into the big reveal expected in two weeks. The audience, relaxed after a morning of yoga and breakfast, asked Guruji all the questions that fans are eager to know about how the story unfolds. Guruji’s ashram is an important backdrop this season, and it was only apt that the ‘Sacred Games’ began here. Talking about his character, Pankaj Tripathi spoke ‘’Guruji is a well-read man with his own thinking style. The mystery man comes packed with a bunch of secrets, which will be unveiled through the course of the second season! 14 din mein aapke saare sawaalon ke jawab bhi aapko jald hi milenge. Aham Brahmasmi ‘’ In a first-of-its-kind event, Netflix hosted hard-core Sacred Games fans in an ashram set-up, introducing an integral character from the cult series -- Guruji a.k.a Pankaj Tripathi. Dressed in a simple yet striking kurta-pyjama set, Pankaj enthralled the visitors of his ‘ashram’ for the day with his wit and persona, while giving them a sneak peek into what to expect from Guruji in Sacred Games 2. After a thrilling first season that left the viewers at the edge of their seats, Netflix is back with Sacred Games 2, which promises to take the excitement quotient a few notches higher. This season, the story unfolds gradually, with fresh twists and turns, new characters, and an even more dramatic story arc that will have audiences hooked from the get-go. Guruji plays a pivotal role, which he said will be evident in just two weeks. Sacred Games 2 releases on Netflix on August 15, 2019. Also Read: SACRED GAMES 2 - WAIT IS OVER!

Sunil Grover opens up about earning Rs. 500 a day and how he spent all his savings in parties when he first came to Mumbai! Sunil Grover opens up about earning Rs. 500 a day and how he spent all his savings in parties when he first came to Mumbai! Sunil Grover was last seen in Bharat with Salman Khan and his performance was being appreciated by the fans and critics alike. However, before he became ‘Guththi’, a character he played on The Kapil Sharma Show, he has had his fair share of struggles and difficulties. In his recent interaction with Humans of Bombay, Sunil Grover opened up about his struggling days and how he spent all his savings by living in a posh area and partying. He started off by talking about how he was the best in his class, and said, “I was always good at acting & making people laugh. I remember in 12th grade I took part in a drama competition–the chief guest said that I shouldn’t participate, because it was unfair to the others! After I finished my masters in theatre, I came to Mumbai to act. But for the first year, I only partied. I lived in a posh area, using my savings & some money from home. I’d only earn around Rs.500 a month. But I thought I'd be successful soon. Eventually I realized that there were many like me, who were ‘superstars’ of their town & ‘strugglers’ here. Soon I had no income & was given a harsh reality check.” Elaborating further about how he became who he is and how he got himself back on his feet, he said, “I was demotivated. But I remembered how my dad wanted to be a radio announcer & even had an offer. But because my granddad was against it, he had to work at a bank & regretted it. I didn’t want to let my dreams go. So I picked up the pieces & rigorously looked for work. But the road was still rocky. Once I’d been selected to act in a TV show–we’d even shot for a few days. But when I stopped getting my time to come on set, I called the team–they said I’d been replaced. At the same time I also started getting work in voiceovers. So when I’d be rejected from TV & films, I had a cushion to fall back upon–something that most didn’t have. I realized how fortunate I was & regained my strength bit by bit.” He even spoke about the time his radio show became viral, “Around that time, I got offered to do a radio show. It was only going to be aired in Delhi, but when that show went live, it went viral! They decided to air it across India! After that, I got work in radio, TV & films. Soon ‘Gutthi’ happened & in no time, became a household name! I remember I was called on a live show & when I went on stage, the audience was roaring for me! I turned to make sure there wasn’t anyone else, whom they were clapping for–but it was all for me. It took several moments like that, to bring back that young boy in me, who used to think that he could conquer the world. The young boy who used to make sure that everyone around him was smiling & entertained. The young boy who didn’t let failures dim his dreams & overpower his need for victory. So even though I’ve come this far... this young boy has a long way to go.” Take a look at their entire post, right here.

Shabana Azmi on supporting the LGBTQ cinema Shabana Azmi on supporting the LGBTQ cinema One of the most committed actors of all times Shabana Azmi firmly believes in LGBTQ rights. Years ago when the movement was in its infancy in 1996, Shabana dared to play a lesbian role in Deepa Mehta’s Fire. “Now 23 years later I’ve moved on,” says Shabana, “In Sheer Qorma I play the mother of a daughter, played by Divya Dutta, in a same-sex marriage. Many years after the marriage Divya’s character returns with her partner (played by Swara Bhaskara) to win her mother’s approval of the match. It is a fabulous role and a great concept. When the director Faraz Arif Ansari came to me with the offer I was moved to tears. It is such a simple emotional story about acceptance.” This is not the first time that Shabana plays a mother coming to terms with her daughter’s sexuality. In Fawzia Mirza’a Signature Move Shabana was cast as the mother of a Pakistani lesbian in America who must reconcile her orthodox upbringing and beliefs with her daughter’s sexual preference. Says Shabana, “It is very important for actors to do films that open up dark spaces in our society. Playing safe is not always a desirable thing to do. One has to step out of the comfort zone and explore subjects that may seem uncomfortable but nonetheless must be addressed.” Also Read: Shabana Azmi gives a positive nod to Swara Bhaskar and Divya Dutt’s LGBTQ film, Sheer Khurma https://ift.tt/2SVLFph
