By now, everyone knows that the release date of ‘PadMan’ has been pushed to February instead of releasing on Republic Day weekend. This was done so that ‘Padmaavat’, which has met with controversy at every turn over every little thing, can have the spotlight alone, because honestly it deserves to have a fair chance.

Akshay Kumar made this important announcement, along with the new release date – 9th February – at a press meet, which also had ‘Padmaavat’ director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in attendance.

He said, “My film was going to come on January 25 and ‘Padmaavat’ was also releasing on the same date. I was rehearsing for the Filmfare Awards, and Bhansali sir came there and said I have done a lot of films with him, and if I can move my film. See, we are one family and I can understand he has gone through a lot, he has put a lot of money, the studio people have put a lot of money. I would want ‘Padmaavat’ to release solo and would like to wish him luck. ‘PadMan’ will now release on February 9.”

He went on to say, “Sanjay is a very personal dear friend of mine. He asked for it, so I went for it. They have a reason to release it this time. It is very essential for them to release it as quickly as possible. So, I understand that. The point is not about fighting or clashing. We both (the films) can easily come on this date because the business will still happen. There are around 5,000 theatres and we both can share it, but at the moment, the stake of their film is much more higher than mine.”

Such big celebrities, and so humble and gracious, it’s very rare to see such selfless acts. Akshay Kumar has once again proved that he’s one of the most genuine guys in the film industry and this generous gesture is just too heart-warming, to be honest.

This deserves every bit of respect, and rightly so. People on Twitter are just as much in awe of Akshay as we are. Even the stars of ‘Padmaavat’ took to Twitter to thank him.

Such a big heart.

Big Man with a Big Heart! @akshaykumar …  Grateful to you, Sir ….â?¤ï¸? Mad Love and Respect ðŸ™?ðŸ?½

Kim Kardashian doesn’t need any introductions. She’s 37 and a mother of three kids, but she still manages to look hotter than all of us combined.

Everyone says she ‘doesn’t have any talent’ and is ‘famous for just being famous’ but she sure knows how to work around the whole nudity policy on Instagram, and in my eyes that is just pure talent.

Case in point – the latest picture she’s posted on her Instagram account.

Just a simple caption, because the picture speaks for itself. Also, please notice the creative way of dodging the nudity guidelines.

But, this wasn’t the first time, and everybody knows. All her naked selfies do end up breaking the internet, and that happens way too often.

A good night, indeed. So casual, don’t we all just chill on top of our Rolls Royce in our underwear? No? Okay.

When you’ve played a character for almost two decades, it can be very hard to let go of it. And, it seems like Hugh Jackman is also having a hard time letting go of ‘Wolverine’, which is totally understandable. 

Even though he was pretty adamant about the fact that ‘Logan’ would be the last time he would be portraying ‘Wolverine’, it looks like he’s having second thoughts now. With ‘Logan’, we bid farewell to the iconic character as he was killed for good. Or, so we thought. 

While we were having a hard time coming to terms with seeing ‘Wolverine’ for the last time, even Hugh Jackman wasn’t able to say goodbye just yet. 

Sebastian Stan recently revealed a very interesting conversation he had with Hugh Jackman once, and it’s giving us the glimmer of hope we need to go forward this year. Just to refresh your memory, Stan plays Captain America’s best friend and war buddy, turned mind-wiped assassin, Bucky Barnes (aka The Winter Soldier), and he’s has been in all three films and will feature heavily in this year’s Avengers: Infinity War.

While at a Comic-Con event, where he appeared alongside co-stars Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie, he talked about his conversation with Hugh, where the two discussed the possibility of him joining the MCU.

He said, “Recently, I happened to be sitting next to Hugh Jackman. I didn’t know what other awkward thing I could talk about, but to be like, ‘Am I going to see you soon?’ I don’t know, but he said a couple things to me and I’ll just leave it at that. Otherwise, I think I’m going to get into trouble.”

“I asked him cause I kept thinking whether or not he said Logan was supposed to be the last Wolverine thing. He said to me what’s probably been said out there that he’s been thinking about it and it’s on his mind. So, I don’t know.”

You know what’s making this revelation even more exciting and plausible? The fact that towards the end of 2017, Disney, who owns Marvel Studios, recently bought back the film rights to both the X-Men and the Fantastic Four from Fox studios. This means that there is a huge possibility of both of the teams making their debut in the MCU. 

And, to make things even better, Chris Hemsworth also revealed recently that he wants to ‘coax him’ back into the role. He was asked which character he’d love to see in the MCU and to that, he replied, “… Wolverine, just because I love that character, you know what I mean? I just love Hugh Jackman. Unfortunately, he died in the last movie, didn’t he? We can bring him back to life… Now that you’ve informed me that it’s a possibility I’m going to get on the one phone and try to coax him over or convince him and see if he has one more in him.”

Honestly, we can’t even imagine someone else playing ‘Wolverine’ and hopefully everything works out so we can get Hugh Jackman out of retirement and see him reprise his iconic role at least once again. 

The Malayalam movie ‘Aadu 2’ has been all the rage since its release in December, and Jayasurya is getting as much appreciation and love for his role as the movie. Reprising the role of ‘Shaji Pappan’ in this sequel, the actor can also be seen wearing a dual coloured dhoti in the movie.

The dhoti, which was designed by wife Saritha, has become quite popular and has also become an inspiration for some really unexpected celebrities. Our very innocent dhoti, or lungi, has left us behind and is now headed to Hollywood.

Well, what if I told you that none other than ‘Morpheus’ was inspired by Jayasurya?

Laurence Fishburne, known for being the hacker-mentor of Neo in ‘The Matrix’, rocked an almost identical black and red dhoti at one of the most prestigious award shows out there.

Going a little desi at the 75th Golden Globes, he ditched the usual and expected suit and tie, and instead opted for a black kimono with a red lining and a pair of red shoes.

And, the best part? He made it to all the best-dressed lists from the event!

Well, it clearly pays off to take risks and stand out completely, especially when he did so by rocking that dhoti so well.
