Siddharth Anand on Pathaan doing so well at box office: 'I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience' https://ift.tt/NzQY789

Director Siddharth Anand has delivered two monstrous hits back to back with War and now Pathaan, which has also become the all-time highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of cinema. He feels a ‘huge sense of vindication’ with Pathaan proving that people want to come to theatres to see films that give audiences a larger-than-life experience!  Siddharth and the visionary S.S. Rajamouli are also the only two directors in the coveted Rs. 500 crore nett collection club in Hindi format. Siddharth has also blunted the narrative that Hindi films are being check-mated by South films at the box office. Siddharth says, “There is a huge sense of vindication with Pathaan doing well at the box office. What I believe that films weren’t doing well in the middle because those films were made pre-pandemic. So, there was a period where cinemas were shut and we couldn’t release our films, people weren’t coming back – so there was a prolonged break for our films.” He adds, “And those films were made pre-pandemic, there is a mindset that has changed post-pandemic. There is a viewing pattern that has changed. And those films were unfortunately victims of that change. Even when I was making War, there was a sense of parallel cinema is the new commercial cinema in 2018-2019. You had small independent films and big ideas doing much better than tentpole films till War happened. That time also I felt that – Oh my God, has the viewing pattern changed but War again proved if you make a good cinematic experience film for our masses people will come to theatres.” Siddharth has delivered the biggest hits of superstars Shah Rukh Khan & Hrithik Roshan in these high octane spy films. He says, “I’d like to believe is that I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience. I try and cater to both subconsciously – it’s not an effort. So, I try and get all the quadrants to enjoy my films. And if you do that – the results are there in Pathaan.” ALSO READ: Siddharth Anand claims Pathaan deleted scene might be featured in OTT version

Star Sports, India’s Home of Sports, is delighted to announce Bollywood superstar and sports aficionado Ranveer Singh as its brand ambassador. This association makes the pop culture icon the first actor to be associated with Star Sports, a development that reflects the growing synergy between sports and entertainment in India. Ranveer, in his role as 'sutradhaar' for the upcoming season of the "Incredible League", will be involved in creating a stream of immersive and entertaining content which brings alive compelling narratives from the past, present, and future of the league.  The journey of the ‘sutradhaar’ starts with the opening weekend (Fri, Mar 31 – Sun, Apr 2) as Ranveer introduces the key narratives for the 16th edition of the tournament, its biggest to date. Singh's collaboration with Star Sports is a significant move for the brand. Star Sports aims to leverage Singh's massive popularity and his deep love for sports to connect with diverse audience cohorts which haven't yet formed a deep relationship with Sports. It is in line with Star Sports' stated mission of making India a sporting nation by fuelling fandom and passion for sports.

Kareena Kapoor Khan encourages reading and foundational learning for young children: 'We need to create an environment where children would love to learn' https://ift.tt/O8JmPx9

Bollywood star and UNICEF India Celebrity Advocate Kareena Kapoor Khan on Sunday visited Mitha Nagar Municipal School in Goregaon (West), Mumbai, to promote foundational learning (in early grades) and to support the #EveryChildReading Movement in the state that will be launched in April 2023. In her interaction with teachers and primary-grade children, Kareena Kapoor Khan took a keen interest to understand how children coped with learning during and after the pandemic. She underlined how important it is for children to learn early to read, write and count; and the importance of offering learning options in children’s mother tongue. She then engaged the children in a fun storytelling session where she read an interactive story to stimulate their imagination. The National Education Policy 2020 highlights that the ability to reading with understanding, along with writing and performing basic operations with numbers is the ‘necessary foundation and an indispensable prerequisite for all future schooling and lifelong learning.’ The Government of India’s National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN) Mission aims to achieve the goal of universal proficiency in literacy and numeracy for every child by grade 3 by 2026-27. As per National Assessment Survey, conducted in November 2021, more than 30 per cent of children in Grade 3 in Maharashtra cannot read small texts. By Grade 5, this number increases to 41 per cent of children not being able to read text appropriate to their grade level and to 43 per cent in grade 8. Launched by the Education Department, Government of Maharashtra in partnership with UNICEF and Pratham Books in 2020, the reading campaign, Goshtiche Shaniwar (or Reading Saturdays) provides children with one storybook every week, to promote their emotional well-being, as well as support their language proficiency. Under the campaign, one story each in Marathi, Urdu, and English is being shared with students in grades 1-8 every Saturday. The campaign covered all the 36 districts of Maharashtra and reached over 1 lakh schools, 2.6 lakh teachers, and 31 lakh children. “Today I met with young children and saw their immense enthusiasm to read and learn. As a mother, I understand the power of reading and storytelling that can inspire and motivate young minds, especially if it’s in a language that they understand well,” Kareena Kapoor Khan said. “We need to create an environment where children would love to learn. School is one such space, and the learning environment at home is equally important. We need to make these spaces supporting and interesting for children to want to read. Teachers, parents, grandparents, can all help young children learn skills that will help them life-long.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) Rajeshwari Chandrasekar, Chief, UNICEF Maharashtra said, “It's essential that we focus on foundational learning and equip our children with the basic skills they need to succeed in life. This includes reading, writing, and basic numeracy skills. Through initiatives like the Goshtiche Shaniwar Reading Campaign and #EveryChildReading Movement, we can inspire every citizen in the state to play their role in ensuring every child reading.. With a strong foundation in place, children not only can enjoy the magic of stories but also unlock their full potential and thrive in the future.” Zafrin Chowdhury, Chief, Communication Advocacy & Partnership, UNICEF India said, “We appreciate Kareena Kapoor Khan for taking the time for today’s visit and encouraging children to read with joy and all of us to support in providing children with a learning environment. UNICEF India greatly values the relationship with Ms. Khan as a Celebrity Advocate and her support in spotlighting children’s issues over the past decade.” UNICEF works closely with the government at national and state level and provided technical inputs for the national guidelines for foundational learning developed by the Ministry of Education. In collaboration with the Government of India, UNICEF has supported the first ever foundational learning study conducted in the country in March 2022. UNICEF continues to provide technical support to state governments in developing and implementing their five-year plans for NIPUN Bharat, the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Mission.

Zeenat Aman opens up on brand collaborations; says, “I do not think I will share more than three or four, clearly labelled, collaborative posts a month” https://ift.tt/GERPH5c

Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman has received and continues to receive immense love on Instagram as unlike other celebrities, she has a different approach to this platform. She recently shared her views on brand collaborations. Zeenat recently took to Instagram and posted a picture of hers walking on the streets of London in a long black coat. Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Oxford Street has changed over the last 45 years, but not nearly as much as I have. I’m in London for a brief visit, and it’s been such fun to show the boys my old haunts. Between personal visits and film shoots, the city was a second home of sorts for many years.” Recollecting the old times, she wrote, “In my twenties I would make a beeline to this street to browse the aisles of Selfridges. I loved their summer fashions, none of which were available in India at the time. So when I found an outfit I liked, I’d buy it in multiple colours! Once my shopping bags were in hand, it would be time for further retail therapy at Harrods.” Sharing her views on collaborations, she said, “Since I’m on the subject of shopping, I have to say that I’ve noticed that many Instagram profiles are more akin to advertising billboards than blogs! It’s a bit of a pity, but it has helped me decide my own approach to this app. Though collaboration requests are pouring in, I’m determined to broach these with caution. I do not think I will share more than three or four, clearly labelled, collaborative posts a month, and I will most definitely not copy-paste captions. I have grown to be possessive of this space we are creating and want to retain its integrity. Both for myself and for those who follow my page.” “The weather here is quintessentially grey, but my spirits are high. I send each of you my gratitude and warm wishes. Though I am unable to reply personally, I do read the wonderful comments, messages and suggestions that you leave for me,” she concluded.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Fans were quick to share their views in the comments section. Reacting to the post a fan wrote, “Your page is becoming my regular source of goodness. It makes me want to pause and admire the world. It’s a destination of sanity and beauty in a world going insane and dull. Thank you. Love and light,” another user commented, “Don't remember when was the last time I took time to read captions under someone's Instagram post. With you the day I saw you here on Instagram, I knew it's going to be an exquisite read.” Zeenat Aman is an Indian actress and a former model. The Evil Within (1970), starring Dev Anand, marked the former beauty queen's acting debut. She has acted in films like Yaadon Ki Baarat, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Qurbani, Dharam Veer, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu among others.

Sara Ali Khan speaks on Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘I don’t get respect’ remark; says, “Maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves” https://ift.tt/oLYdZ7W

For the unversed, Janhvi Kapoor had earlier said, “I believe I have more to offer and I want to prove to myself that I can take up new challenges and emerge from it. Somewhere it comes down to the line that ‘Mujhe mauke bohot mile hai, par izzat abhi tak nahi mila (I have got a lot of opportunities, but I am yet to earn the respect)’ and I think that’s what I am working for, in my own eyes. It takes a lot to build the perception and then break it,” during her interaction with Barkha Dutt at the We The Women event. Coming back to Sara, she was recently asked to share her point of view on the same on Siddharth Kanan’s podcast. In her response, the Simmba actress asserted, “I don’t feel under-respected at all. I think I have been given a lot of respect. I think for me, if you accept me for who I am, that’s the biggest sign of respect and touchwood, I got that very early in my career. I think from the very beginning I got respect.” Explaining her take further, the 27-year-old actress added, “Maybe what Janhvi could have meant, maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves. But even then, whether it’s Kedarnath or Atrangi [Re], I read the reviews I was given. I don’t think respect has been a problem for me.” Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sara is currently busy with promoting her next release Gaslight, whereas Janhvi will be next seen in Mr & Mrs Mahi. On the other hand, she will also make her debut in the Telugu film industry with NTR 30. Also Read: Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor shoot for a project together: ‘Wait and watch us’

As a result, it’s really taken me seeing what @sonamkapoor has done over the past 17 months (and actually even longer) in ensuring the best emotional and physical health of herself and our baby to really understand the levels of commitment and selflessness it takes to be a full time mom.” He added, “In an age when we all have been accustomed to immediate reward systems, committing to motherhood really does mean giving endlessly over and above that system. It has also re-emphasized her responsibilities as a daughter, sister and wife (and girlfriend :P) as she navigates making sure our son gets all the love, learnings and blessings he can from our big family as he slowly grows into the most unique individual with the assets of our heritage and also without the burdens of any expectations.” “I know all of this is cliché in a sense which is why I started by saying that it’s taken me seeing @sonamkapoor do all this to really appreciate the magic of motherhood. To @sonamkapoor and to all the moms (and we all have some degree of motherhood in us even if not everyone is a ‘full time mom’) Happy Mothers Day!!

Meanwhile, captioning the same, she wrote, “Another interview from more than a decade ago, yes cooking is very much on my agenda ... had some financial setbacks last year otherwise I was all set to launch my restaurant in the valley, will be coming soon though.” The Tanu Weds Manu actress further added, “Thanks to my fans for these clips I had forgotten about these interactions, but look when we build intentions we set destiny GPS (global positioning system), so cultivate intentions, not desires.” On the same note, it is worth mentioning here that Ranaut’s last project Dhaakad, which was released in 2022, performed poorly at the box office. On the other hand, Kangana had earlier shared that she has mortgaged her house to finance her first upcoming directorial, Emergency. Coming to the professional front, the 35-year-old actress will be next seen headlining Emergency and a Tamil-language film, Chandramukhi 2. Nearly a month after wrapping up Emergency, Kangana also concluded the shoot of Chandramukhi 2. Emergency was slated to release on October 20 this year. However, when the makers of Ganapath announced that they would be releasing their Tiger Shroff starrer on October 20, Kangana postponed her film and stated that she will unveil the new release date of Emergency “only one month in advance with a trailer.” Also Read: Kangana Ranaut pens emotional note before concluding Chandramukhi 2 shooting; lauds co-star Raghava Lawrence “master”

EXPLOSIVE: “Jo film 10 minute bhi dekhne ko mann nahin karta, aisi filmon ko most watched film of the year ka title diya jaata hai! I wonder if OTT platforms are fooling the people or if are they fooling themselves” – Pahlaj Nihalani https://ift.tt/u42PEFH

Pahlaj Nihalani started the year 2023 by celebrating his 73rd birthday, on January 10. In February, he held an inauguration event for his revamped South Mumbai theatre, Nishat Cinema. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to him a few days ago about what he’s up to nowadays and a lot more. How do you look at the box office at present? If I go back to 1993 or 1994, it was a time when a big film, of the scale of Pathaan, will be released in maximum of 150 cinemas across the country. Yet, the big films at that point did the same kind of business that Pathaan or any other big film does in today’s times, despite the increase in prints and ticket rates in today's times. Those were the days when films would boast of 7 crore footfalls. I don’t think Pathaan will even cross 5 crore footfalls. Its run is about to get exhausted. Also, the ticket prices of Rs. 800 or 1000 can discourage some people to not venture out to cinema halls. 3 Idiots (2009) became a blockbuster with 4 crore footfalls. The cost of tickets has doubled since then but the box office hasn’t seen the same growth. Akshay Kumar used to give consistent hits but his films barely got footfalls of more than 1.25 crores. A film needs 1.50 or 1.75 crore footfalls to be declared a blockbuster. And our country's population is 140 crores. That’s why satellite channels are giving so much money to buy TV rights as they help the film reach out to every household. It’s also amusing that though many of the star-studded films are disasters, OTT platforms are claiming that millions of people have watched them on their platform. I don’t know where they are getting these numbers. Jo film 10 minute bhi dekhne ko mann nahin karta, aisi filmon ko most watched film of the year ka title diya jaata hai (smiles)! I wonder if they are fooling the people or if are they fooling themselves. You were the chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). What do you have to say about its functioning, under Prasoon Joshi? Recently, you had spoken against reports that the orange swimsuit shot in the song ‘Besharam Rang’ from Pathaan might have been removed by the CBFC… A lot of controversies were made over the orange swimsuit. But the Censors have not cut those shots. And I had said before the release that you cannot remove a shot based on the colour. The issue died down after the release of the film. It was completely political. A chairperson’s tenure in CBFC is usually 3 years. There have been murmurs as to why Prasoon Joshi continues to be the chairperson since August 2017... He’s the chairperson till further orders. He’s there as a chairperson but he’s also not there! What do you mean? When we get the appointment letter, it states that the tenure will start from a certain date and end on a certain date or until further orders. Since there have been no further orders, he continues to be the chairperson. However, he’s not attending office. I doubt if he has visited the office in the last 2-3 years. Gaye honge office toh sirf 2-4 baar. It was said that you used to attend office everyday… Mere paas kaam nahin tha na! Inke paas bahut kaam hai (laughs). Do you feel sad that people remember you only for your stint as the CBFC chairperson and the controversies that erupted at that time and not your body of work? I feel that jo accha kaam karta hai, uski agar burai na ho, toh fir accha kaam hua hi nahin! Nowadays, you don’t hear anything critical about CBFC. That’s because of fear. Abhi sab cheez ka darr hai sabko. No one gives any reaction or quote to the media. I used to do that as I felt it was important to clarify. People didn’t like it. In my time, many wanted to become chairperson. They were eying my chair. Even right now, bahut log mehnat kar rahe hai. Par nahin ban paa rahe hai. I put together a system in place at CBFC. The new members are following it. They haven’t made any changes though times now are different. We have OTT platforms now. They are not under any rules. This needs to be addressed.
