Riya Sen has made her web series debut with erotic thriller ‘Ragini MMS Returns’. Requesting that explicit content be muted in an adult film may seem ludicrous, but Riya Sen, close on the heels of her wedding last month, had apparently approached the makers of ‘Ragini MMS Returns’ with a request of similar nature.

HBO Has Released A Behind-The-Scenes Video Of Arya & Brienne's Fight And We See Stunt Doubles

Celebrities

Sep 192017

HBO is making sure we don’t miss ‘Game of Thrones’ too much. They have released a behind-the-scenes footage of the Aryan and Brienne fight from episode 4 of season 7, as part of ‘The Game Revealed’, HBO’s behind-the-scenes video series. If we were to list out the 10 best moments from ‘Game of Thrones’ season 7, the Arya-Brienne fight would feature among the top 5 for sure. Of course, the train loot scene would top the list.

Trained by the Faceless Men at the House of Undying in Braavos, Arya Stark is one of the most skilled killers in the Seven kingdoms now. Watching her slay Walder Frey and his entire house was hugely satisfying. But her training scene with Brienne, with Sansa and Littlefinger watching, was one of the most satisfying scenes in the season. That is the first time her insanely badass fighting skills are revealed in the show, and Sansa’s jaw rightly remains dropped to the floor.

The behind-the-scenes video reveals how Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie trained for the scene. While we do know Maisie, who is right-handed, insisted on wielding the sword with her left hand just like Arya does in the books, what we didn’t know was that body doubles were used for Maisie and Gwendoline.

We have seen them performing on stage, on the silver screen, entertaining millions of people around the world and becoming role models for many. One always believes that they must be living the lives of their dreams in the wake of extravagant lifestyles and glamour that follows. However, all that glitters is not gold.

Surprising is the fact that they didn’t let their fans know about their illness for many years and kept performing for them while they were under excessive pain. Here’s more about these stars and their debilitating lives behind stardom, their struggle with uncommon diseases and how it has affected their daily routines beyond our imagination.

Selena Gomez

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.

This Trailer Of Blake Lively Starrer 'All I See Is You' Will Leave You Wanting For More

Celebrities

Sep 192017

Blake Lively has been trying to make her mark in the movie industry and has only been moderately successful. Though some of her films did not fare very well at the box office, she has earned appreciation for her performances. It could be because she has been highly selective in her choice of roles and has starred only in a handful of movies, with her last movie being a horror, ‘The Shallows’.

However, with her upcoming movie, things might start to look upwards.

In her latest movie, ‘All I See Is You’ which is a psychological drama, Lively stars as a blind woman ‘Gina’ who eventually regains her vision as well as her independence. Blinded as a child in a nearly fatal car accident, Gina depends on her husband (played by James Clarke) for everything and that appears to make their relationship even stronger.

The new trailer starts with a scene of Gina hanging onto James’ arm as they move their way through crowds which shows how much she depends on him. But when Gina is given the opportunity to undergo an operation and regain her vision, their life and relationship turn around as Gina now sees the world from a new perspective (and with a new platinum blonde hairstyle), something which James finds threatening. He seems to be disconnected from his wife and for unknown reasons grows to be suspicious of her.

At one point you might think it’s a romantic movie of sorts which will most probably end in a happy ending. However, the mood of the trailer soon turns dark and intense, with trippy and rather confusing shots of darkened clubs and angry looks, almost making it look like it will end with a murder.

Directed and co-written by Marc Foster, the movie co-stars Yvonne Strahovski, Danny Huston, Ahna O’Reilly and Wes Chatham. In an interview, Forster told how he toyed with the use of our five senses while filming, experimenting ways to portray Gina’s life before surgery.

He said, “When I make a film, my visuals are always guided by the motivation of both the character and the story. In this case, I wanted to find a way to tell a story without the limitations of traditional narrative devices, where I could literally embody a painter and create innovative and fluid visuals.”

Blake, who shared the trailer in a very excited Instagram post, also talked about the twisted plot of the movie in an interview, “Gina’s husband appreciates her. It seems like he doesn’t mind that she has this condition that makes her rely on him. But what you learn is it goes beyond the fact that he doesn’t mind. It becomes an obsessive love story. You realize it’s a codependency. And when the codependency no longer exists, it can create fractures.”

ðŸŽ‰SWIPE TO WATCH THE FULL TRAILER. I’m SðŸ‘?excited to share this with you.ðŸ¥‚This is one of my favorite movies I’ve ever been a part of. â?¤ï¸? Link in bio for the real, non insta version of the trailer, the way it’s supposed to be seen ðŸ’•ðŸ˜Ž

A post shared by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on Sep 18, 2017 at 10:42am PDT

“All I See Is You” was screened in the Special Presentations section at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival but the film is scheduled to be released in theatres on October 27th 2017. The trailer has definitely got us hooked and we can’t wait for October to arrive.

We're Experiencing Serious Nostalgia With Jacqueline And Salman's Recreation Of 'Tan Tana Tan'

Celebrities

Sep 192017

As we wait for the much awaited release of the ‘Judwaa’ remake, the charm of the first release will always be incomparable. Although Varun Dhawan has successfully and fittingly soaked in Salman’s previous role(s) as Prem and Raja, respectively, Salman still has all his moves intact and he’s here to prove that!

The second release has Jacqueline Fernandez and Tapsee Pannu starring in it along with Dhawan junior and they’re doing whatever it takes to promote their forthcoming rom-com- like posting some behind the scenes videos on social media or humming some tracks from the new release.

Jacqueline, though, has been travelling to the UK for the Da-Bangg Tour 2017 and hasn’t had the chance to do as many promotional promos for the release as Tapsee and Varun have been doing in the country. This though hasn’t deterred the ‘Kick’ actor’s spirit to go on a ‘Judwaa 2’ promotional spree and recently she was found jiving to the famous old ‘Judwaa’ song ‘Tan Tanaa Tan Tan Tan Taara’, with our very own Sallu Bhai and she proudly dedicated the video to the new Salman avatar, Varun.

Her Instagram post was showered with a lot of love and adoration for the two actors goofing around on the old movie’s famous track and the video was shared with the caption that read ‘ Tan Tana Tan with the original Judwa @beingsalmankhan just for you @varundvn time for @judwaa2 now!! #mumbaibound’

A post shared by Jacqueline Fernandez (@jacquelinef143) on Sep 18, 2017 at 1:04am PDT

The remake is being directed by Sajid Nadiadwala and the storyline will not steal much focus from David Dhawan’s original release except that it will have Dhawan’s son Varun bringing back Salman’s two characters, Raja and Prem in a similar role. Similarly Tapsee will be seen playing Karishma Kapoor’s character and Fernandez fitting into Rambha’s role respectively. The film is expected to release on September 29th, 2017.

Just to make you a wee bit nostalgic and take you back to the 90’s, here’s a glimpse of the original ‘Tan Tanaa Tan’ from the first ‘Judwaa’ , obviously staring the Dabang star himself.

So, if you’re still hungover from the first movie, don’t forget to book your seats for this new thrilling remake, at the end of this month!

The real reason why Varun Dhawan is missing from 'Judwaa 2' promotions

Celebrities

Sep 192017

Varun Dhawan

Stars often go on a promotional blitzkrieg ahead of their film’s release, believing it to be a key factor in determining the movie’s success. So, it comes as a surprise that Varun Dhawan has not been spearheading promotional events for his upcoming film, Judwaa 2.

A source close to the actor reveals going easy on the promotional events is a deliberate move on Dhawan’s part.

The source says, “From song launches to multi-city tours and sharing film-related posts on his social media handle, Varun had done it all as part of Badrinath Ki Dulhania promotions. Many of his contemporaries had pointed out how he had gone overboard with the film’s publicity, which made him do a rethink.”

Turns out, Dhawan feels his upcoming comedy enjoys strong recall value, owing to its 1997 original featuring Salman Khan. “Since Judwaa 2 has already aroused audience curiosity, he doesn’t mind going slow on the publicity.” Dhawan will kickstart promotions only 10 days before the film hits the screens.

Not hot or cute, just this one quality in the man and Nidhhi Agerwal is impressed! Nidhhi Agerwal

Nidhhi Agerwal rose to fame with her debut film ‘Munna Michael’ co-starring Bollywood’s action-king Tiger Shroff and the versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Talking exclusively to mid-day, the Bengaluru diva Nidhhi Agerwal shared a lot of things about her personal life and her experience after landing in Mumbai to enter the world of glamour.

When asked if anyone had to impress the young, bold and beautiful Nidhhi, what all did the man have to do?

Replying to which, she quipped, “The person should have a clean heart and pure soul. No matter what the person does but if he’s not a clean-hearted person, I won’t get impressed. This is the only thing that I want. I don’t need or want to do anything with anyone’s hotness, cuteness, sense of humour or intelligence.”

A few odd months ago, there were reports of Nidhhi Agerwal facing a lot of issues to buy an apartment in Mumbai.

Shedding some light on the variables that acted as obstacles for her to buy the flat, Nidhhi divulged, “Yes, I did face a lot of issues, because people kept questioning, ‘you’re a single girl, what do you do?’ I would tell them that my film’s shooting has commenced, which would make them think about me being a model-actress and how I would get guys home and party all night. But, finally I got a good house and now things are very different than earlier.”

“It’s quite strange, but this happens,” concluded the ‘Munna Michael’ actress.
