The two films that released with the onscreen couple managed to garner immense audience appreciation both times.

R Madhavan doesn’t want to be Manu in Tanu Weds Manu anymore; says, ‘No point beating a dead horse’

In report by Hindustan Times, Madhavan was quoted in an interview with the popular YouTuber Jaby Koay, wherein he spoke about the third part of Tanu Weds Manu. “I think that’s water under the bridge. There is no point in beating a dead horse. You know, it’s so difficult to come up with original stuff, and then there are expectations of a film. See, if it’s a sequel to Avengers or a superhero series, it’s easier because you have a template. But with Tanu Weds Manu, it’s impossible. And I think I am done with it. I don’t want to go back to being Manu now,” he was quoted saying.

For the uninitiated, Tanu Weds Manu that released in 2011, showcases the story of the two titular characters, how they meet and how complex their love story gets, eventually leading to marriage. Tanu Weds Manu Returns in 2015 spoke about their post marriage life which deals with their internal issues and the entry of yet another character named Datto who adds twist to the plot. While the 2011 release had garnered a positive response from the audience, the 2015 film managed to break records.

Speaking about Madhavan's forthcoming film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, it marks the directorial debut of R Madhavan and is based on the life of the ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. It is slated to release on July 1.

Ms. Marvel: Farhan Akhtar's fate revealed as he makes his first appearance in MCU to help Kamala Khan https://ift.tt/NpaLYb2

The first appearance of Indian filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar in the Disney+ Marvel series Ms. Marvel is here. The actor was cast in an undisclosed role but it has been revealed he was up to in the MCU's first Muslim superhero show. In the episode on Wednesday, Kamala Khan had new enemies to fight as she discovered more about her cosmic superpowers.

Ms. Marvel: Farhan Akhtar's fate revealed as he makes his first appearance in MCU to help Kamala Khan

SPOILER ALERT! Following her vision of a train in Ms. Marvel episode 3, Kamala (Iman Vellani) and her mother, Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff), travel to Pakistan to understand what her visions meant and the mystery behind the bangle. They land in Karachi, find more about her heritage and her great-grandmother Aisha, and her Djinn heritage. She also comes face-to-face with the Red Dagger (Aramis Knight) who plays Kareem. He takes her to a secret hideout for the Red Daggers, a group of warriors who tend to stick to the shadows. There, Kamala meets Waleed (Farhan Akhtar), the leader of the Red Daggers, who offers up an ominous message, “When you’re ready, we have much to discuss.”

The episode is packed with action as Waleed explains Kamala how the world connects to the realm of Noor and her own destiny as a Djinn. Waleed says, “The Clandestines and Aisha are from another realm. There are many dimensions around us that we cannot see, and this is just one of them — and this is Aisha's home. It’s connected to our world, but hidden. Behind a veil of Noor that separates our world from them…” There is an intense showdown against the ClanDestine in the episode where you see Waleed sacrificing himself to protect Kamala and her new friends.

Created by Bisha K. Ali, the Disney+ miniseries will introduce us to Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old Muslim Pakistani-American from Jersey City fascinated by the Avengers, who looks up to Captain Marvel in particular, as she becomes imbued with shape-shifting powers.

As created by G. Willow Wilson, Sana Amanat, Stephen Wacker, and Adrian Alphona in the comics, Kamala has a relatively unique set of superpowers. While Kamala Khan's powers in the comics consist of stretching, shrinking and growing, the trailer shows the new hero shooting purple cosmic energy beams, forming shields, manifesting a giant fist in a nod to her comic book counterpart and the kind of midair stepping stones previously seen in Doctor Strange films.

The actor-musician will be a part of the series which introduces Iman Vellani and also includes names like Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Fawad Khan, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha.

Shamshera: "I’m keeping my fingers crossed that people love our chemistry in the film" - Vaani Kapoor on being paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor https://ift.tt/FjbXvRi

Vaani Kapoor is set to sizzle on the big screen again in Shamshera in which she has been paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor. She will be seen in a drop-dead gorgeous avatar in Shamshera in which she plays the role of the most coveted traveling performer in India. Vaani says she is thrilled to collaborate with Ranbir, director Karan Malhotra, who she feels is a visionary storyteller, and Sanjay Dutt, who will give audiences ‘a villain for the ages in Hindi cinema’.

Shamshera: "I’m keeping my fingers crossed that people love our chemistry in the film" - Vaani Kapoor on being paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor

 

 

 

Vaani says, “Shamshera is a dream project for me. To be directed by someone like Karan Malhotra, who is a visionary storyteller, is an opportunity that no actor would ever miss out on. I’m fortunate that he felt I was apt for the part. Karan is obsessed with his craft and the story that he is trying to tell. I’m a director’s actor so I had an amazing time soaking in his vision and plan to make Shamshera a truly larger-than-life big-screen spectacle.”

She adds, “I’m also teaming up with one of the best actors of our generation, Ranbir Kapoor in the film. This is the first time that we have been paired together on screen and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that people love our chemistry in the film. Our characters have an amazing graph and I hope people love and root for it”

About working with Sanjay Dutt, she says, “I got an opportunity to work with Sanjay Dutt and I have been a big fan of his over the years. I loved him in Agneepath. You have to wait and watch out for him in Shamshera because he is again going to give us a villain for the ages in Hindi cinema. He is just menacing and cunning and pure evil.”

She adds, “Shamshera is a film I will always cherish. It has given me memories that will last a lifetime as an actor. The entire crew has worked incredibly hard to bring this film to life and I hope that people love the effort that everyone has put in.”

In the fictitious city of Kaza, a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved, and tortured by a ruthless authoritarian general Shudh Singh, who wants to obliterate their sense of freedom. This is the story of a man who became a slave, a slave who became a leader, and then a legend for his tribe. He relentlessly fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. His name is Shamshera.

The high-octane, adrenaline-pumping entertainer is set in the 1800s in the heartland of India. It has the big promise of a never-seen-before Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Shamshera in the film! Sanjay Dutt plays Ranbir’s arch-enemy in this huge casting coup and his showdown with Ranbir will be something to watch out for as they will ferociously go after each other with no mercy.

Directed by Karan Malhotra, this action extravaganza has been produced by Aditya Chopra and is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on July 22, 2022.

BREAKING: Gupt’s special screening to be held in Mumbai on the occasion of its 25th anniversary; Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol to grace the screening https://ift.tt/R93B86r

One of the greatest murder mysteries of Bollywood, Gupt, completes 25 years on July 4. Released in 1997, the film starring Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol was a super-hit due to the whodunit element, tight script, performances and of course, the unforgettable soundtrack. In short, Gupt is a landmark film in Bollywood. And when such an important film turns 25, the celebrations have to be there.

BREAKING: Gupt’s special screening to be held in Mumbai on the occasion of its 25th anniversary; Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol to grace the screening

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that a special screening of the film will be held in Mumbai to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Popular radio station, Radio Nasha, has taken the initiative to organize the screening on Saturday, July 9, at Metro INOX Cinemas in South Mumbai. Interestingly, several members of the cast and crew will attend this show – lead actors Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol, director Rajiv Rai, writer and production designer Shabbir Boxwala, music director Viju Shah, etc. Fans will also get a chance to win tickets to this screening, and thus be a part of this unforgettable event.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Gupt has achieved cult status. It had worked big time in cinemas. Those who had seen it on the big screen would get a chance to once again see the film in a cinema hall. Many are huge fans of the film and songs but they were born after the release of the film or were too young when it had released in theatres. They’ll get to experience the magic of the film in all its glory. Also, the actors and other team members would share trivia about the film and that’ll be an icing on the cake.”

When contacted, Shabbir Boxwala exclusively told Bollywood Hungama, “The way Radio Nasha is planning it, I am very thrilled. At the time of the release, we couldn’t enjoy the success, due to certain reasons. We can finally enjoy the film’s success now. I told the same thing to Rajiv as well, that let’s enjoy it now. God has given us a chance (laughs)!”

He also said that “All the actors are also excited for the screening, including Mukesh Rishi and Dalip Tahil. Unfortunately, some cast members are no more, like Om Puri. He was a vital part of the film. Even Ashok ji (cinematographer Ashok Mehta). I’ll miss him the most.”

Radio Nasha has held several such screenings of significant films in the past. One of their most memorable events was the screening of Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), on its 25th anniversary. It was held on August 9, 2019, at Mumbai’s Liberty cinema. Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, director Sooraj Barjatya and many others had graced the screening. The way the lead actors danced and the way the cast and crew went down memory lane made it a very exciting occasion.

Shamshera: "Aditya Chopra had unconventional belief in my vision" - says director Karan Malhotra on revenge action movie https://ift.tt/db0rKFG

The team of the much-anticipated revenge action spectacle Shamshera is on a huge high. It is clear that Sanjay Dutt vs Ranbir Kapoor makes Shamshera a big-screen entertainer to watch out for. The director of Shamshera, Karan Malhotra, is thrilled with the outpouring of love for this novel big-screen concept and reveals that the trailer is just the tip of the iceberg because it doesn’t reveal much about the story that will unfold when the film releases on July 22nd!

Shamshera: "Aditya Chopra had unconventional belief in my vision" - says director Karan Malhotra on revenge action movie

Karan says, “I’m overwhelmed and humbled by the response that we have got for Shamshera. It validates that Hindi cinema, told in its most genuine and most authentic form, will always connect to the people who want to witness a big-screen spectacle. Adi’s unconditional belief in my vision and an outstanding creative collaboration with my cast and crew have brought this revenge-action entertainer to life.”

He adds, “What thrills me is that the trailer is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more to Shamshera than what the audiences have seen in the trailer. So many more layers, so many more characters, and so many more mysteries will unfold when they watch this splendor on the big screen.”

Ranbir Kapoor is playing a larger-than-life quintessential Hindi film hero with the action entertainer Shamshera. He is thrilled that without giving out important aspects of the film’s plot, the trailer has made such a huge impact! He says, “As an artiste, when you and the entire team put in all the hard work trying to make a big-screen visual spectacle, it is always heartening and validating to see such unanimously positive responses. I have to congratulate the captain of the ship, Karan Malhotra, YRF, and the entire team of Shamshera at this moment. It’s a really special feeling for all of us. But what’s most exciting is that the trailer doesn’t give us the entire story.”

Ranbir adds, “It has been intelligently handled because the trailer is not linear. It hardly tells you anything about Shamshera’s life. It doesn’t tell you anything about Balli’s emotional arc. It doesn’t show Sanjay Dutt’s insane villainy and the havoc he wreaks. For that, you have to wait for the film!”

The story of Shamshera is set in the fictitious city of Kaza, where a warrior tribe is imprisoned, enslaved and tortured by a ruthless authoritarian general Shuddh Singh. This is the story of a man who became a slave, a slave who became a leader, and then a legend for his tribe. He relentlessly fights for his tribe's freedom and dignity. His name is Shamshera.

The high-octane, adrenaline-pumping entertainer is set in the 1800s in the heartland of India. This action extravaganza has been produced by Aditya Chopra and is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on July 22, 2022.

Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Rashtra Kavach Om director, Kapil Verma claims he is nervous; says, “There is stress with recent films not doing well” https://ift.tt/ER1jq9Z

Rashtra Kavach Om which opens this Friday and which was earlier titled Om The Battle Within has its director Kapil Verma somewhat tense and worried. “Yes, there is definitely a bit of nervousness and stress regarding recent films not doing well at the box office for the last few months. But our USP is that we have made a good film, or so we believe, and that is about the best we can do,” says Verma.

Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Rashtra Kavach Om director, Kapil Verma claims he is nervous; says, “There is stress with recent films not doing well”

Verma is confident in the action sequences. “If I may say so myself Aditya Roy Kapur has done some great action, he is seen in a totally unexpected avatar. Then there is a Sanjana Sanghi in the film. She was earlier seen in an emotional role in Dil Bechara. She plays a RAW agent in my film. She too has done a lot of action scenes. The pair is fresh and Aditya and Sanjana are seen doing things, they have never done previously. But what I am most confident about is the story. It is a strong subject and one that I feel will draw in the audience,” says Verma.

Action films like Pushpa, KGF, and RRR have done well and these successes boost Kapil’s energy. “Yes, different kinds of action films have been released. Not all of them have worked at the box office. It all depends on what kind of action is being projected on screen. In our film, we don’t have Aditya Roy Kapur just hitting and killing people. Every action sequence is supported by the plot and backed by emotions. The action is therefore not gratuitous. The audience will feel Aditya Roy Kapur’s pain and the action scenes are organic to the plot. They take the story forward and are not there just for the heck of it.”

About Rashtra Kavach Om releasing alongside Madhavan’s Rocketry Kapil says, “I love the trailer of Rocketry. But it is an entirely different genre and a completely different experience. It is a film by and starring Madhavan who is a great artist. But like I said ours is a completely different film. Our film is a hard-core massy film. But we never know what the audience will like or won’t like, especially nowadays.”

Kapil is all praise for his producer Ahmed Khan. “Ahmed Sir is a terrific producer, and I can’t thank him enough for giving me this huge opportunity to direct my own film. He told me, ‘Jao apni film banao and don’t take any stress.’ He has stood by me as a pillar of strength and I hope to collaborate with him again.”

Main bas usse shock mein dekh raha tha.” (Transl: I was unwell when we were shooting there and she has taken care of me for two days. She called for soup and all for me. In fact, we had been to a place where they were not serving food and she folded her hands and requested them to give me food and she did it. I was just looking at her in complete shock.)

The actress was accused of having a connection with the infamous conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and it was alleged that about Rs. 7.27 crores of funds were seized from the actress in the name of proceeds of crime.

It is also said that Sukesh gave funds close to $173,000 and around 27,000 Australian dollars to a few close members of Jacqueline’s family."

In Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s statement recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), Sukesh had said that he gave as many as 15 pairs of earrings, five Birkin bags, and other luxury goods from Chanel, Gucci to the actor. The conman also claimed that he gifted Jacqueline Fernandez Cartier bangles and rings and a bracelet by Tiffany & Co. in addition to Rolex watches. He also gave Jacqueline Fernandez jewellery worth Rs 7 crore and gifted her a horse called 'Espuelah'.

In addition, Sukesh Chandrashekhar also extended a loan of USD 150,000 to Jacqueline Fernandez's sister, who lives in the US. He also gave her a BMW X5 car and gifted Jacqueline Fernandez's parents a Maserati and her mother in Bahrain a Porsche. He also extended a loan of USD 50,000 to her brother in Australia.

In its charge sheet, the Delhi Police has accused Sukesh Chandrasekhar and 13 others of duping the wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy to the tune of Rs 200 crore.
