KJo-Varun-Saif Varun Dhawan, Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar at IIFA Awards

After sparking off a controversy with his nepotism debate at the IIFA Awards in New Jersey over the weekend, filmmaker Karan Johar, actors Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan received flak on social media with Twitteraties calling their act ‘disappointing’. Karan and Saif, who were hosting the gala, revisited the much-talked about issue that started in Bollywood when ‘Queen’ star Kangana Ranaut branded Karan as a “flagbearer of nepotism” on his chat show.When Varun Dhawan joined the two actors on the stage at the Metlife Stadium to receive the Best Performance in a Comic Role for ‘Dishoom’, Saif joked that the actor had made it big in the industry because of his father, director David Dhawan. “You are here because of your papa,” Saif Ali Khan quipped.Varun said: “And you’re here because of your mummy (veteran actress Sharmila Tagore).”Karan then promptly added: “I am here because of my papa (late filmmaker Yash Johar).”They then said in unison: “Nepotism rocks”. On Twitter, a string of criticism followed, describing what the personalities said as unfunny and joking about actress Kangana Ranaut in her absence. Here are some tweets:

How is it an “insult” to Kangana? If anything it’s a crass/tacky display of how shamelessly nepotistic Bollywood IS https://t.co/qmqTHjZ2aH

Nepotism exists everywhere, but few communities can be as consistently tone-deaf as Bollywood.

After Bombay Velvet, Karan Johar to have an important role in IIFA film

Karan Johar in Bombay Velvet

He may have provided the perfect launch pad to many aspiring actors, but Karan Johar did not get a dream debut as far as his acting career was concerned. KJo, who made his full-fledged acting debut in Bombay Velvet (2015), had joked after the film’s debacle, “Nobody has offered me any role till now. I think nobody liked me. I should at least get offers to refuse them. I can’t cast myself in my own films.”

Looks like acting is still on the cards for the talented filmmaker. KJo has been roped in for a pivotal role in the film, tentatively titled Crazy Hum, which puts the spotlight on the incidents that occur behind the stage at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards.

“It’s a full-fledged role and not a cameo. While many celebs are making cameos, KJo has a prominent part in the film. He will be seen playing himself,” informs a source. Newbie director Chakri Toleti had approached the filmmaker a few months ago. “He was kicked about the idea the minute he heard it,” informs another source from NYC.

Johar is currently in New York attending the events leading up to the big finale. He will also be hosting the awards ceremony with Saif Ali Khan. We reached out to producer Vashu Bhagnani and Johar, both of whom remained unavailable to comment.

Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha and Diljit Dosanjh have already begun shooting for Crazy Hum in the Big Apple.

Salman Khan and Karan Johar to produce a film which would star Akshay Kumar ?

Celebrities

Jul 142017

Earlier this year it was announced that Salman Khan and Karan Johar would collaborated together and produce a film which would star Akshay Kumar. Obviously, Bollywood buffs couldn’t contain their excitement.

However, it looks like that excitement was just short-lived. If rumors are to be believed, Salman Khan, who was supposed to co-produce the film has opted out of the project which was supposedly based on the ‘Battle Of Saragarhi.’

Apparently, the reason behind it is Salman’s alleged fallout with his manager Reshma Shetty, who is now Akshay Kumar’s manager and also the failure of his recent film ‘Tubelight’. And now Salman doesn’t want to do another war based film. Furthermore, some reports even claim that the film is shelved.

This is not the first-time reports of Salman backing out of this project have come up. Earlier, when Ajay Devgn announced a film based on the same subject, it was heard that given Salman’s equation with Ajay, the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor had opted out of the film.

However, at that time Salman took to his twitter and wrote, “Don’t follow rumors. follow me. ek baar jo maine commitment kar di toh phir……vry much doing film with @akshaykumar.”

Well, we are waiting for one more such tweet from the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ star to rubbish off this news.

The First Look Of andamplsquoIttefaq Starring Sidharth Malhotra And Sonakshi Sinha Is Definitely Piquing Our Curiosity

Celebrities

Jul 012017

After his last film ‘Bar Bar Dekho’ failed at the box, many fans were disappointed with Sidharth Malhotra. But let’s not get disheartened as the actor is all set to impress us this year with just not one but three movies.

Sid is definitely on a roll as just recently he shared the first look of his film ‘Aiyaary and A Gentleman’ and he has also unveiled the poster of his upcoming film ‘Ittefaaq: It Happened One Night.’

For many who don’t know that ‘Ittefaq’ is a remake, it definitely is. It’s based on the Yash Chopra directed murder mystery starring Rajesh Khanna, Nanda, and Bindu. Also, the original was a remake of Hollywood film ‘Signpost to Murder’. Wondering what the plot was? The film revolved around two murders that took place one night.

Sid and Sonakshi took over Twitter, creating a buzz as they shared the first look of their poster. Sid shared the glimpse of his character in handcuffs and captioned it, “Would you believe me if I say it was all just an Ittefaq?”

Would you believe me if I say it was all just an Ittefaq?Know my story in #Ittefaq OnNov3! @sonakshisinha #AkshayeKhanna @iamsrk @karanjohar pic.twitter.com/1wheds28cM

— Sidharth Malhotra (@S1dharthM) June 30, 2017

While Sonakshi looks all intense and troubled, she wrote, “Would you believe me if I say it wasn’t an Ittefaq?”

Would you believe me if I say it wasn’t an Ittefaq? The story unfolds soon… #IttefaqOnNov3! @iamsrk @karanjohar @S1dharthM #AkshayeKhanna pic.twitter.com/dylXfz45y1

— Sonakshi Sinha (@sonakshisinha) June 30, 2017

Karan Johar is co-producing this film with Shah Rukh Khan, and took the lead and tweeted out that only Akshaye Khanna can reveal the answer to that question..

Only HE can divulge if it’s an #Ittefaq or not! #IttefaqonNov3 #AkshayeKhanna @S1dharthM @sonakshisinha @iamsrk @abhayrchopra pic.twitter.com/NGmP2joylM

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) June 30, 2017

Well, we got to agree that these poster has brought back many memories from the original film which was an engrossing watch indeed. It would be interesting to see if this remake stands upto the level of what Yash Chopra created.

This film will be directed by Abhay Chopra, grandson of BR Chopra. The film is being backed by Dharma Production and Red Chillies Entertainment in collaboration with BR Films.

Meanwhile, Akshay Khanna is gearing up for the release of ‘Mom’ where he stars along with Sridevi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film is creating a lot of buzz in B-town and people are eagerly waiting to watch it. Sidharth, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of ‘A Gentleman’ where he will be seen with Jacqueline Fernandez.

And those who have been intrigued by ‘Ittefaq’ and want to see what this murder mystery is all about, you gots to wait till November 3.
