sal-katYesterday, according to our sources we told you that Salman Khan and the makers of the show have thought to surprise the fans of Delhi with a special entry of Katrina Kaif by the end of the concert.

The concert is on December 10 just a couple of days before the duo’s upcoming film, “Tiger Zinda Hai.” We had also reported that after accompanying Salman at the concert the duo also plans to promote their film.

A source stated a tabloid, “Salman and Katrina will start prepping in a week’s time for the show. The duo will give a glimpse of their sizzling chemistry in Tiger Zinda Hai by dancing to the film’s songs.”

While the organizers of the show said, “Yes, we plan to have Katrina on the tour. We are working out her schedule. She will promote Tiger Zinda Hai along with Salman sir and I believe this will be an amazing platform for it.”

And now Katrina’s spokesperson has denied the rumours by saying, “Katrina Kaif will not be part of the Dabangg show in Delhi as she will be attending the Lux Awards in Mumbai, on the 10th December. She may perhaps join the tour later, but not at this time, owing to her prior commitment.”

While we know that Kat is SRK’s co-star in Aanand L Rai’s untitled film but it was not sure why even Deepika was in the frame!

However, there is no official confirmation about this but, if sources are to be believed, this pic that SRK tweeted might be a shot from his film where he will be seen playing a dwarf.

Few reports also suggest that, along with other Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Sridevi and Karisma Kapoor, even Deepika will have a guest appearance in the movie.

Directed by Aanand L Rai, the film also stars Anushka Sharma in the lead role and will hit the silver screens by the end of 2018.

padmavatHaryana Health Minister Anil Vij joined the anti-“Padmavati” bandwagon and asked the censor board to stall its release.

In a statement here, Vij said the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) should withhold the release of film “Padmavati” “keeping in view the people’s sentiments”.

“The Information and Broadcasting Minister has already been apprised about people’s sentiments in this regard,” Vij said.

Opposing the release of the movie, the minister said Rani Padmavati was the pride of the country.

“She, along with 16,000 women, had committed self-immolation (jauhar) after Raja Rana Ratan Singh fell in the war. It is an insult to show a princess of such high character dancing in public. It is highly objectionable as it tampers with history.

“Why don’t people like Bhansali get the story of the likes of Alauddin Khilji, who hurt the Indian masses, for their films? There are a lot of sagas of heroes in Indian culture which could be showcased to the society. But Bhansali would not do this as he wants to work for promoting a single ideology,” added Vij, who is known for being outspoken.

“Padmavati” starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and is slated to release on December 1.

amitabhMegastar Amitabh Bachchan says jewellery adorned by women fascinates him.

“I am fascinated by the jewellery that the ladies wear, those of the culture from the Southern realms of our nation but the one that registers interest is the… Yes, the ‘Oodiyanam’,” Big B wrote on his blog.

“It’s the belt like piece worn at the waist by the ladies and tradition has it that the ‘oodiyanam’ is gifted by the mother to the daughter when she leaves the house after marriage and on from one generation to the other – the same piece,” he added.

The actor, earlier this week, shot for a new ad campaign for a jewellery brand with his wife Jaya.

On the acting front, Amitabh currently has two films in his kitty — “102 Not Out” and “Thugs of Hindostan”.

ShahThese days most of the things work digitally, web-series, on the other hand, has made its own wide platform on the digital market.

While there are many actors who are trying their hands in web-series, it is Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui who will be seen in a web-series called Sacred Games.

According to Pinkvilla, when the actor was asked if he would ever work in web-series, SRK said,”I have heard that Saif and Nawaz are doing a series, which is great, But I want to see how well Indian series do on the digital platform. I want to take my own time to understand how the medium is working. The format is completely different and I don’t think I will venture into it just for the sake of doing it.”

Further adding the actor also expressed that he still feels that people would like to watch him in movies more than in any web-series. “In the near future, I’m sure films will start releasing digitally. But there will still be filmmakers who will continue bringing people to cinemas. I don’t think people will stop going to theatres,” added Shah Rukh.

padmavatThe Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea seeking a stay on the release of Bollywood movie ‘Padmavati’, saying the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) considers all aspects before granting certificate to any film.The court said it could not intervene since the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was yet to decide about its certification.

A Bench, comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud, said there were enough guidelines to be followed by the censor board to grant certification to a film before its release.

The plea, filed by Siddharajsinh M Chudasama and 11 others, also sought the setting up of a committee of eminent historians to check the veracity of the script to prevent any inaccuracy in the portrayal of Rani Padmavati.

The petitioners sought a stay on the release of the film till such time the alleged historical inaccuracies in the film are corrected by the producer and the director.

The film, which also stars Shahid Kapoor as Rawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as invader Alauddin Khilji, is set for release on December 1, 2017. The movie has been a subject of many controversies. Some Hindu groups and political parties, including the Congress and the BJP, claiming that the film distorts history and wrongly portrays Padmavati, a contention Bhansali has rebuffed in a recently released online video.

Earlier this year, fringe group Rajput Karni Sena vandalised the sets of the film in Jaipur and roughed up director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Bhansali and his team have repeatedly assured the opponents that there are no romantic scenes between Deepika and Ranveer in the film. Gupta has written a letter to Home Minister Rajnath Singh about the matter.

The activist group objected to an alleged scene that would have Allaudin Khilji (played by Ranveer Singh) romancing Rani Padmavati (Deepika Padukone) in a dream sequence.

Last month, its members destroyed a “rangoli” created at a Surat mall for “Padmavati” promotions and threatened further disruption.

The film has been embroiled in a spate of controversies ever since its inception. The rumours claim that the film has a dream sequence between Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji – something that I have already denied, even in writing. “Today, again, I am reiterating through this video that in our movie, there is no such scene between Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji that would hurt the sentiments of anyone”. No community will be able to tolerate it and this is why distributors across the country have started giving the cold shoulder to this film, the BJP leader added.

With the release date of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati approaching, its troubles seem to be mounting as well.

Keeping sentiments of Rajput groups in mind, the BJP said that they preview the movie as as many fringe groups have threatened to disrupt its screening for “manipulating historical facts”.

There has been a widespread uproar against the movie which is scheduled for release on December 1. Recently, the Karni Sena had staged a huge protest in Chittorgarh in which hundreds of people took part demanding a complete ban on the film. The protesters had urged the Election Commission (EC) to ban the film in Gujarat or shift the release date of the film post the elections.

Nawazuddin-SiddiquiNawazuddin Siddiqui and his brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate office’s zonal office in Lucknow in connection with an online fraud case. They were investigated by the authorities for an hour. Calling the allegations baseless, Shamas reportedly said that all allegations levelled against them are false and that they have shown all their papers and mails to the authorities.

Their lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee has now offered his statement and clarified the whole situation on his Twitter account. He wrote, ”Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee representing Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui states that there seems to be a lot of chaos and confusion with regards to a summons received by my client Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui from the Directorate of Enforcement. In this regard I would, therefore, like to clarify once and for all that my client has only rendered services for a company named Webwork Trade Links Pvt. Ltd. as a professional (Actor), and he has no other dealings with the said company which is under investigation conducted by the Enforcement Directorate. The remuneration that my client had legally and justifiably received towards his professional services had been duly declared to every concerned government department on time, even prior to the investigation. My client who has followed the provisions of law at every stage has absolutely nothing to fear or hide, as there is no guilt. The Enforcement Directorate which is investigating the said matter has been accordingly briefed from our side.”

Digging the money trail while investigating an e-commerce scam, the Enforcement Directorate discovered links between the directors of Webwork Trade Links Private limited and Nawaz. It had earlier served him a notice asking him to explain the Rs 1.15 crore he had received from the company.

Shamas was quoted saying that Nawaz did a TV commercial for a product called ‘adsbook.com’ and he is in no way concerned with the parent company Webwork Trade Links Pvt. Ltd. It was the parent company that faced problems with the ED and Nawaz was just routinely summoned to inquire about the monetary link between the Siddiquis and the company, Shamas reportedly added.

NawazNawazuddin Siddiqui may have withdrawn his memoir ‘An Ordinary Life’, but his troubles are far from over. After ex-girlfriend, Niharika Singh lashed out at the actor for allegedly making false claims, his ‘first love’ Sunita Rajwar has reportedly sent him a legal notice and asked for compensation of Rs 2 crore for allegedly attempting to damage her image.

According to reports, she stated that she does not want to take any legal action because “the damage is already done and it’s irreversible.”

Sunita has also claimed she was wrongly portrayed as someone “who drove Nawaz to think of committing suicide,” and pointe out that they have not been on talking terms from past 16 years.

The report further states that Nawaz mentioned in his book that Sunita dumped him because he was not successful, which she feels is a ‘figment of his imagination’.

While stating that she wants an unconditional apology from the actor, she also went on to reveal that all the talk of the book being withdrawn is just a gimmick as the book is still in circulation.

In the wake of the numerous controversies his book stirred up, Nawaz took to Twitter to issue an apology and announce the withdrawal of his book. His tweet read, “I’m apologising to everyone who’s sentiments are hurt because of the chaos around my memoir #AnOrdinaryLife I hereby regret & decide 2 withdraw my book”

Deepika_sanjayAfter ‘Padmavati’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has started working on his next – a biopic on Sahir Ludhianvi. Earlier, one of Bhansali’s favourite, Priyanka Chopra was reported to play poet Sahir’s love-interest, poetess Amrita Pritam’s character. Things didn’t materialise, and Bhansali’s other muse, Deepika Padukone was reported to have replaced Priyanka.

However, in a chat with Filmfare, the long-legged beauty denied the news of doing this film. She said, “No” and laid all rumours to rest. In fact, the actress was surprised on hearing this. Talking about her upcoming projects she revealed that she has only signed a Vishal Bhardwaj film.

The film will be directed by Honey Trehaan, and will see the ‘Piku’ pair, Deepika and Irrfan Khan, reunite on the big screen. The Vishal Bhardwaj film is based on journalist S Hussain Zaidi’s novel Mafia Queens of Mumbai, wherein, Deepika will be portraying gangster Rahima Khan’s character. Rahima Khan was popularly known as Sapna didi.

Deepika, who has completed 10 years in the film industry, is busy promoting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming magnum opus, ‘Padmavati’. The film also features Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in pivotal roles. The historical drama is slated to release on December 1.

Aish_salmanFor Bollywood fans, Eid is synonymous with a Salman Khan release. The actor has dominated the festival with six of his seven releases being runaway blockbusters. But come 2018, Khan will find a worthy competitor at the box-office — Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Rai’s Fanney Khan, which also stars Anil Kapoor in the titular role, will lock horns with Khan’s Race 3. The clash becomes all the more interesting given their history — Khan and Rai were in a three-year-long relationship before the duo parted ways in 2002.

Says a trade source, “It will be an exciting clash, since Aishwarya and Salman’s relationship continues to hold the audience’s attention, even years after it went kaput. While Salman boasts of tremendous box-office pull, Ash and Anil too have a huge fan following and will draw the audience to the theatres.”

The source further adds that the producers of Fanney Khan consulted their lead actors before zeroing in on the release date, especially since the makers of Race 3 had already booked the festival window. “Arjun N Kapoor, Prernaa Arora, Bhushan Kumar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra met Aishwarya and Anil, who were happy to have a festival release. The team is aware of Race 3 also releasing on Eid, but they are confident of their film.”

Producers Kapoor and Kumar released a joint statement saying, “We have locked the release date of Fanney Khan on Eid 2018 (June 15). We decided on Eid because the lead character Fanney Khan, played by Anil Kapoor, is a Muslim character and there’s no better day than Eid [to release it].” However, when asked about clashing with the action franchise, the producers refrained from commenting. Fanney Khan is almost complete, with only some scenes between Rai and Rajkummar Rao left to be shot. Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez’s actioner went on floors yesterday.
