Farah-KanganaWithout taking any names, choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan today reacted to the Hrithik Roshan – Kangana Ranaut controversy, saying the “Queen” actor is playing a woman card.

Farah said for her feminism meant equality and if a man would have made statements like Kangana he would have faced the wrath of the society.

When asked about her views on Kangana’s recent interview, Farah said in a media interaction, “I don’t want to take anyone’s name, I don’t want to get caught in between. But every time you are playing a woman’s card. For me feminism is equality.

“In such a scenario a man should put himself in a woman’s shoes and vice versa and then it becomes easy to understand each other. One should deal with such matters carefully.”

The “Happy New Year” director said both men and women should receive same treatment and judgement should not be made on the basis of gender.

“Just imagine if a man had said something like a woman, what would have happened. If a man had sent a picture or said anything like this, that man’s life would have become hell or he might have been taken to the jail. If such things are not acceptable for a man, why it should be for woman?” she added.

In a recent appearance on TV talk show “Aap Ki Adalat”, Kangana had said that Hrithik should apologise to her publicly for causing her trauma after their alleged relationship ended.

The actor also said her recent comment on her “Krrish 3” co-star was not a “promotional” gimmick, and she would continue to talk about him and their public feud whenever she is asked about it.

Reality show queen Farah Khan is all set with her upcoming show ‘Lip Sing Battle’and the concept of the show is a unique one, where the celebrities will lip sync on other actor’s songs. While talking about the show, Farah revealed that she would be making funny revelations about the actors, which were alien from the audience up till now.

One such actor, she spoke about is Farhan Akhtar. She said that Farhan has been a very mischievous kid, and would imitate many celebrities as a child.

 An interesting aspect, which will set Farhan’s fans on a laughter riot is, “He would wear sister Zoya Akhtar’s frock and dance on the iconic ‘Don’s song, ‘Yeh Mera Dil Pyar Ka Deewana,” disclosed the ‘Om Shanti Om’ director. However, Farhan has requested Farah to not divulge these details to him.

 Let’s see, if Farah Khan settles down on Farhan’s request!

Preity Zinta and Karan Johar recently shot for buddy Farah Khan’s show, ‘Lip Sing Battle’. The desi version of the American reality series has two celebrity contestants lip syncing to songs and whoever croons the best, wins the round.

We think KJo would have nailed it on the dance and music front.

When Tiger Shroff is in a film, the directors forget the basics of filmmaking i.e. the script. Instead of working on the crux of the story, the directors decided to make a full-length feature film with lots of dance sequences and unreasonable fight scenes as the prime focus. And of course, one line of dialogue that Tiger uses throughout the film. 

Well, that’s exactly what is ‘Munna Michael’ is all about. You have tons of songs, action sequences and some blah blah and blah (yeah, that’s the term you use when you can’t make heads or tails of the film).

The story is very cliché and predictable, Munna (Tiger Shroff) is an orphan who is raised by Michael (Ronit Bose Roy) in Mumbai. Michael was a background dancer, however, was removed from his work due to his age. Munna grows up idolising pop king Michael Jackson. Dance is his life and he aims to become a dancer, though his father wants him to take up a corporate job. Soon, he moves to Delhi and meets Mahindar Fauji (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a real estate mafia who starts tutoring him. Their bond deepens but the film takes a strange turn when they both fall for the same girl, Dolly (Nidhhi Agerwal).

Let’s cut to the chase and tell you all the reasons why you should give this film a miss. 

1. This is a vehicle for Tiger Shroff and is not very different from his previous films such as ‘Heropanti’ or ‘Baaghi’. The man dances flawlessly leaving you stunned and break bones as if it is his daily job. The only difference is that this time he uses a different one liner, “Munna jhagda nahi karta, munna sirf pithta hai.”

2. Plan to take revenge on someone? Just make them watch this film and your job is done. 

3. Then you have a dance competition, where Farah Khan as a judge is trying too hard to look impressed with the performances. Well, it looks like Nepotism is a serious issue after all. 

4. What’s truly insulting is casting an actor like Nawaz just to uphold the mediocrity of your film. What a waste of sheer talent. However, he proves that he can ace any role you give him.

5. Well, you certainly can’t blame Tiger for starring in such pictures, it is the director’s fault that his thinking is very restricted. Tiger, how about you just work with another director, because it’s too much of you and Sabbir!

6. About Nidhhi, well, all we can say is sorry that this is your debut film.

7. Last but not the least, throughout the film I just kept wondering why on Earth would I start my Friday morning like this? Maybe I’m paying for some sin or the other *sigh*.

P.S. Tiger and Nawaz, you both are brilliant actors but do you need to work in a mediocre film? We know you are talented; you don’t need to prove it to us.

SRKBollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he always wanted to see dancer-actor Raghav Juyal perform live and adapt his moves.
Shah Rukh appeared on popular dance reality show “Dance + Season 3” to promote his film “Jab Harry Met Sejal”.

Raghav, who is seen as the host of the Star Plus show, fumbled a few times while shooting for a sequence with Shah Rukh. He even performed a special act for Shah Rukh on “Dil Se”.

In reply, Shah Rukh said: “Farah (Khan) had showed me his (Raghav’s) past videos of slow motion and since then I had always wanted to watch him live. And today I am amazed to see him do an impromptu gig on one of my songs. His moves and style is something I’d really like to learn and adapt.”

Shah Rukh will be seen on the Star Plus show on July 29.
