Huma Qureshi is known to keep her distance from the media. Perhaps to avoid some unwanted, sticky questions.

So it came as a surprise to see her personally call media folk for the screening of Partition: 1947. When a film is releasing, stars do anything and everything.

Veteran actress and celebrity talk show host Simi Garewal and Karan Johar attended the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne recently. After hosting the awards event, Garewal was told that KJo was keen to anchor the show.

This didn’t go down well with her. She took to Twitter and wrote, “After I finished hosting IFFM Awards @karanjohar told festival director, ‘Next year I want to host the awards.’ Another takeover?” KJo’s chat show, Koffee with Karan, took over from Rendezvous With Simi Garewal.

It appears that the veteran host is still bitter about the filmmaker ruling the chat show scene on the same channel her show used to air years ago. Garewal has been retweeting comments by her followers on social media, who have been praising her and saying that Johar is more keen on hosting than filmmaking.

Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra may have just completed five years in the industry but he has achieved stardom in a very short span of time with a huge youth fan following.

Despite having good run-rate at Bollywood, Sidharth has not forgotten his old days. He still remembers the first time how he spent his first paycheck.

Sidharth reveals that when he signed his debut movie ‘Student of the Year’, he had received Rs 1 lakh from Dharma Productions. He said, “I had not told my friends that I have signed a movie and that too under Dharma Productions banner. My friends and I had gone to Pune to meet another friend who stays there. One evening, when I told them about my debut film, they were shocked. They asked me to treat them and we ended up getting a bill of Rs 50, 000. I told them that half the salary of my first paycheck has already blown up.”

He added, “Before signing my first film, I used to work as an assistant editor and used to get Rs 18,000 as salary but I never received such an amount when I was modelling. Spending such a big amount for my big break is definitely justified.”

Sidharth said that all his friends are still very close to him.

He will be next seen in ‘A Gentleman’.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, ‘A Gentleman’ is directed by directors Raj & D.K and is all set to release on August 25th, 2017.

Ekta Kapoor’s new web series based on Subhash Chandra Bose, ‘Bose: Dead Or Alive’ has been released. Interestingly Rajkummar Rao has essayed Subhash Chandra Bose in the series. There was buzz regarding Ekta Kapoor’s show for a while. Not only did Rajkummar Rao gain 12 kg for the role, he also used minimal prosthetic make-up. He even shaved off half his head as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Hansal Mehta is the executive producer of this show. Hansal revealed during the trailer launch of ‘Bose: Dead Or Alive’ that he asked Ekta Kapoor whether he could be a part of the show upon learning of Rajkummar Rao’s involvement with it and that it was based on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Hansal Mehta also revealed that his films weren’t successful for a while and in 2011 when he saw Ekta Kapoor’s film ‘Raginni MMS’ in which he saw Rajkummar Rao perform for the first time, he then made up his mind that he would be the titular ‘Shahid’ of his film based on the lawyer. After collaborating with Rajkummar, Hansal said his career got a new lease of life. Hansal Mehta worked with Rajkummar Rao in ‘City Lights’, ‘Shahid’ and ‘Aligarh.’ He compared his collaboration with Rajkummar Rao as a spiritual journey. ‘Bose: Dead Or Alive’ is being directed by Pulkit.

While talking about Rajkummar Rao’s role in the series, Ekta Kapoor added that he has put in the same effort he does with all his film roles. Ekta had always wanted to create something based on this subject matter. She said to have never felt that this could be made into a film because of the belief that the digital platform has the potential of showcasing something unique and amazing.

Rajkummar Rao revealed he read Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s autobiography and visited Netaji Bhavan in Kolkata in preparation for his role. Ekta Kapoor’s team has researched the topic for 18 months. While prepping for the role Rajkummar Rao has revealed he felt a sense of pride for the nation and thought how it would have been if he was born during Netaji’s time. Rajkummar has also said the series would uncover some unknown and never-before-seen aspects of Subhash Chandra Bose’s life.

Rajkummar Rao’s role in his newly released film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ has been well received so far. Hansal Mehta’s ‘Simran’ is expected to release soon.

Anushka Sharma was spotted at the airport recently wearing a T-shirt that read: Distraction. Those in the know say that she has winged her way to Sri Lanka. Snapshots of her and beau Virat Kohli have not gone viral from the island nation.

Maybe she is playing it safe and keeping a low profile while doing touristy things. In 2014, when Sharma was shooting in Lanka for Bombay Velvet, Kohli had dropped in to meet her.
