Ever since some alarming reports appeared about Sharmila Tagore not keeping good health, the legendary diva has been inundated with calls from anxious friends, relatives, and fans. Putting to rest all concerns about her health, Sharmila Tagore ji says, “By God’s grace I am in fine health. There is absolutely no reason to be concerned. Though I’m 76, I keep myself very busy reading, gardening, social engagements, and of course attending to my obligations at home. There is no time to brood .” The past year’s lockdown also gave the highly versatile critically acclaimed actress an opportunity to watch all her films chronologically. “Many of my own films, I had never seen before. And I must say some of my old films like Choti Bahu and Badnaam Farishtay have withstood the test of time. I like Asit Sen’s Safar and Bhimsain’s Dooriyaan because I played a proper professional. This was so different from the conventional roles for heroines during those days. I like Anupama, Safar, Amar Pre...

The Indian men's cricket team recently had a historic win in Australia beating the home team to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. What looked like an impossible feat at the beginning of the tour was made possible even with multiple injuries and key players missing. Team India under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane ended Australia's 32-year-long unbeaten streak at the Gabba. Now, it has been learnt that actress Saiyami Kher who is a cricket enthusiast herself, plans to write a book dedicated to the series. Talking to a daily, Saiyami said that as a cricket fan, it is the best comeback story that she has witnessed. Further talking about what appealed to her the most, she said that this win is the quintessential triumph of the underdog story. She said that no one believed that this team could pull it off and they did, despite the odds. For Saiyami, sports means a lot and she owes her never give up spirit to it. She said that after her debut film Mirzya did not work, she went and...

Few days after the Ministry of Home Affairs announced that theatres across India can increase occupancy from the existing 50 %, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry on Saturday night announced that theatres will be allowed to run at full capacity starting February 1. On Saturday night, the I&B ministry issued Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs)which have to be followed with the new guidelines. While the Centre has allowed to operate theatres with full capacity , States and UTs may propose additional measures as per field assessment. The general SOPs include that people maintain social distance at any given point, wear masks and theatres should have sanitisers at entry and exit points. Thermal screening of every visitor and staff is also mandatory. Audiences may be encouraged to avoid movement during the intermission. Longer intermissions may be used to allow the audience seated in different rows of the auditorium to move in a staggered manner. Staggered show timings shall b...

Following the beguiling brouhaha over two of its major series Mirzapur and Tandav , Amazon Prime Video has decided to indefinitely postpone the release of their next Big Fat Indian Series.  The Family Man Season 2 which was to stream from February 12 stands postponed for now. The trailer which was to release on January 19 will now be out closer to the new streaming date, whenever that may be. Confirming this saddening development, a source very close to the project tells me, “It is true.  The Family Man Season 2 has been postponed indefinitely, much to the disappointment  of Manoj Bajpayee and the co-director Raj-DK. The reason is, the brand Amazon has taken a beating in India with two of their most successful shows Mirzapur and  Tandav coming under the scanner for allegedly hurting popular sentiments. Amazon doesn’t feel the atmosphere is  conducive to the release of a big franchise like The Family Man .” But The Family Man   has no controversial c...

Bollywood actor Govinda rose to fame with his impeccable comic timing and his unmatched dancing skills. He ruled the 90s with his brand of cinema- which was largely quirky and mass entertainers. While he has witnessed success from the peak, he has also had his share of failure. Now, Govinda plans on telling his story in his own words. Talking to a tabloid, the actor said that he had decided early on that he would start writing his autobiography when he turns 57. Having reached that milestone last year, the actor who is fondly known as Chi Chi has started working on his memoir. Govinda revealed that the autobiography will be a multi-edition as he feels that his story cannot be contained in a single book. He plans on having a book for each phase of his life; from his childhood years in a chawl to the empty phase of his life when he did not have much work. The Coolie No.1 actor wants to tell his story like Raj Kapoor did through his characters. While onscreen, Govinda was largely por...

Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan have always maintained that they wanted to work together. But till date, they haven't been seen sharing screen space ever. But in 2021, it will all change and now, we hear that they have signed not one but two big projects together. Hrithik and Deepika have already announced their next - Siddharth Anand's Fighter which will showcase their jodi for the first time. Last week, there were reports that they are also starring in Madhu Mantena's version of Ramayana, that too in 3D. Ever since the news went viral on the Internet, Kangana fans have targeted Hrithik and claimed he shouldn't play Ram on screen. Little do they know that Hrithik has a different role in the mytho-drama. A source shares, "Duggu had been in talks to play an important role in Deepika's Draupadi which was a modern retelling of the epic Mahabharat. But that film will happen later. Mantena is bankrolling Ramayana first and Hrithik will play Ravan's role i...

With the folks of the real Mirzapur up in arms against being portrayed as gun-toting criminals in the fictional Mirzapur , the series is likely to go back to the storyboard for some serious revamping before Season 3 begins shooting. Among the changes that are likely to take place there may be a serious toning down of the verbal and visual violence which is to say, the characters won’t use gaalis as if they (the gaalis) were the only way to express rage (rage being the dominant emotion in the series, since everybody is angry all the time). In addition, the shoot-outs may not be that frequent. But the better option is to rename the series and then reserve the rights to perpetrate the trademark mayhem. Says one of the prominent actors from the series, “We haven’t really discussed the changes. But changes, there will be. When the first season came we didn’t have people from Mirzapur objecting to the series. But now, with protests there will be changes for sure. Dropping the title may b...

Sanya Malhotra had a rocking debut with Dangal (2016), which was also the biggest hit of that year. She even got noticed with Badhaai Ho (2018), another huge grosser. However, it’s in 2020 when she really made her presence felt and added to her fan following. She rocked the show with Shakuntala Devi and even her unrecognizable look got praise. In Ludo , she arguably was a part of the best story of the film and her chemistry with Aditya Roy Kapur was electrifying. Interestingly, both these films were released digitally. While Shakuntala Devi premiered on Amazon Prime, Ludo was streamed on Netflix. And now, it has come to light that her next film, Pagglait , too has opted for a digital release. A source reveals, “ Pagglait was completed somewhere in February 2020, just before the lockdown. It’s a slice-of-life comedy and the makers feel it’s apt for an OTT platform. Hence, they decided to release it on Netflix”. The source also adds that the streaming giant plans to release Paggl...

If Kartik Aaryan has extra time on hand it is because Anees Bazmi’s  Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2  has been put on hold indefinitely. No, that’s not the director Anees playing it safe on behalf of his entire team. It’s one of the film’s leading ladies Tabu who has refused to shoot until the pandemic is over. A source very close to the project told me, “A major schedule of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2  in Jaipur was shut down in March 2020, and the unit had to disperse hastily amidst the pandemic scare. After the lockdown ended, director Anees Bazmi informed the cast and crew that the shooting would resume. But Tabu, who plays a major part in the film, refused to return, arguing that she was not feeling secure or safe shooting while the pandemic prevailed. The producers were left with no choice but to postpone shooting indefinitely.” It’s good to see that Tabu’s wishes are respected. And that she has not been replaced by another actress. Just goes to p...

The pandemic caused a major delay in several projects in the film industry. Shoots of all films and web series were brought to a halt for months during the pandmeic. While shoots have now resumed it has caused havoc in the scheduling of actors and has led to some change in casting. Actor Angira Dhar who was to play the role of Haseena Parkar in the web series Dongri To Dubai has bowed out of the project. The web series directed by Shujat Saudagar has Avinash Tiwary play the role of Dawood Ibrahim. The shoot of the series was resumed recently at Madh Island in Mumbai. Reportedly, Angira has to now shoot for Ajay Devgn's MayDay. The makers of Dongri to Dubai also required the actress on the same dates and so Angira decided to walk out of the project. Kritik Kamra will now play the role of Dawood's sister Haseena in the web series. Kamra was last seen in the recently released web series Tandav . Dongri To Dubai is based on a book by Hussain Zaidi.

There have been a number of screen adaptations of the Ramayan . But none to match the scale, expanse and expense of producer Madhu Mantena’s interpretation of the epic which is all set to start filming shortly. Mantena who recently bought over the shares of Phantom Films from his partners Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl is all set to fly solo, and his dream project Ramayan would be his auspicious flag-bearing project. According to sources, Mantena’s big-screen Ramayan would be in 3D and budgeted at Rs 300 crores. Nitesh Tiwari, who directed Aamir Khan in Dangal , will hold the directorial reins. The film would be of inordinate length, as no aspect of the Holy Scripture would be left undermined or left out. Or, Mantena may release the grand epic as two full-length feature films. Informs the informed source, “These are sensitive times. And the last thing the Ramayan needs is an underwhelming treatment or a revisionist screenplay. Mantena has deployed several re...

The escalating situation regarding the legal issues faced by the Tandav team has seriously stressed out Saif Ali Khan’s family, especially his mom. The 76-year old icon Sharmila Tagore is worried about which way the legal processes against Tandav will go, now that the honourable court has denied anticipatory bail to all concerned. Sources say Sharmilaji’s health has suffered since the Tandav controversies broke out. “Saif and Kareena are expecting a baby in February. The last thing they need at this time is such a terrible crisis. Sharmilaji is deeply concerned at the way the whole episode has panned out. She has often told Saif to be discreet with his public statements and cautious about the projects he takes on,” says a source very close to the family. Apparently, after the Tandav experience Saif has decided to run all the scripts offered to him through his vastly experienced mother (who knows her Satyajit Ray as well as her Manmohan Desai) before saying yes or no.

The sex text scandal that has gripped Hollywood superstar Armie Hammer’s career has caught the big-budgeted Agatha Christie adaptation Death On The Nile , in its web. We hear that this star-studded whodunit helmed by Disney and featuring some of Hollywood’s top line stars Kenneth Branagh, Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright, may be postponed indefinitely post Armie Hammer’s sex texting which contains lurid cannibalistic fantasies. In Death On The Nile Armie plays Wonder Woman Gal Gadot’s husband. They apparently share many steamy moments in the film. They will just have to wait. The film which was postponed from last year (due to Covid) was re-scheduled for September 2021. It may now be postponed indefinitely after Hammer’s exposed messages. A blow for Ali Fazal who was hoping to consolidate his global positioning with Death On The Nile . Moral Of the Story: ...

Actor Armie Hammer is in the midst of a major cannibalism and abuse controversy. It all began with an Instagram user who revealed some alleged sexually explicit chats exchanged between the actor and a woman. The alleged chats included conversations about sex fantasies, cannibalism. The screenshots blew up and soon the actor began to receive backlash. Soon, he exited from the film  Shotgun Wedding amid the controversy. "I’m not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic," Armie Hammer responded in a statement to Variety. "Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that." While many chats have come out, the actor's ex-girlfriend model Paige Lorenze has made some shocking claims. Speaking to Daily Mail, she said that Armie Hammer would indulge in knife play, and “he would cut o...
