The film follows how, under the captaincy of then newbie Kapil Dev, the Indian cricket team defeated West Indies. It tracks the coming-of-age of not just a cricketing team, but of a young nation in the eyes of the world. Khan said in a statement: “As a young school boy, when I watched India win the 1983 Cricket World Cup, I had no idea that from that day onwards cricket in India will change forever. As a filmmaker, for me, the journey to that win, filled with raw energy and sheer passion of that young Indian team, is probably one of the most exciting stories I have worked on.

“And it’s great to have Ranveer come on board to play Kapil Dev, as honestly, I could see no one else for the role, ever since I started finalizing the script.” Shibasish Sarkar, Chief Operating Officer, Reliance Entertainment, said: “Winning the ’83 cricket World Cup was a very proud moment for us as Indians and we at Reliance Entertainment aim to bring back those glorious moments for the current and future generations through this film.”

According to Madhu Mantena of Phantom Films and Vishnu Vardhan Induri of Vibri Media, “it’s a story waiting to be told” and one that the “country needs to know”.

Mind games behind Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor's 'Padmavati' costumes

Celebrities

Oct 312017

In order to make certain that the nuances of the characters in Padmavati, specifically Alauddin Khilji and Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, are reflected in their attire, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has hired the services of a brand which is co-owned by artist Vipul Amar and psychologist Harsheen Arora.

Arora has been looking into the detailing of the costumes created for the final war sequence between Khilji and Ratan Singh. “Ratan Singh was noble and honourable, Khilji believed in invasion and power. So, their attires need to reflect it,” says Arora. She adds that colours play a pivotal role in depicting different personalities.

“The colours used for Shahid’s armour are red and gold. Red depicts honour and an eagerness to serve one’s land. Gold represents courage, generosity and passion. His chest plate is made of sculpted vintage leather and is infused with metal. In the lower half of the armour, we have used geometric patterns in leather. Rajputs preferred geometric designs over floral.” As for Khilji, Arora says the depiction of lions in his armour are “to enhance the darkness of the character”.

“Khilji is unfazed. Imagine the kind of power he possesses if he can tame two lions and place them on his shoulders,” she says, alluding to a sequence in the film. Designer Vipul Amar says the team consulted an engineer to ascertain that there was mobility in the armours. “It was imperative that the actors be able to perform stunts while wearing them.”

This Bollywood actor can't believe Ranveer Singh went to a psychiatrist

Celebrities

Oct 212017

Ranveer Singh is said to have seen a psychiatrist to get back to his normal self after wrapping up the shoot of Padmavati. He needed a shrink to exorcise himself of the part.

The actor explored such hidden depths of negativity playing the character of Alaudin Khilji that he needed help to get back to his normal life. A certain actor (no prizes for guessing who) is wondering when he consulted the shrink, considering that he has been up and about after the shoot.

'Singh Is Kinng' sequel now called 'Sher Singh', stars Ranveer Singh

Celebrities

Oct 202017

Over a month after producer Shailendra Singh had said that he had acquired “a title that’s sexier than Singh Is Kinng”, for the sequel to his 2008 comedy, mid-day has learnt the name. The second instalment, which will apparently see Ranveer Singh fill in the shoes of Akshay Kumar, will be titled Sher Singh. The producer was forced to revise the name after Vipul A Shah, who helmed the original, refused to part with the title.

Shailendra tells mid-day that he acquired the rights to this name on Wednesday after difficulty. “While we had initially wanted the title Singh Is Kinng, Vipul Shah refused to part with it. I have been asking him to return it to me for the last five years. Then, I decided to pick another name, because, the name Singh Is Bliing had also been explored. So, a similar sounding title would cause confusion.”

His upcoming film, he is certain, will emerge as an important franchise in the industry. “Bollywood doesn’t have an iconic superhero. Sher Singh will be that character. He does not have super powers, but will be an extraordinary human being.”

Ranveer Singh

The producer says Ranveer was his first choice, given that the actor “can be Bollywood’s ultimate sardar”. “Ranveer has all the characteristics needed to play a sardar, just like Akshay and Ajay Devgn do. I narrated the story to him in one line about a month-and-a-half ago, and discussed his look too. He expressed interest in the project and asked me for a 10-page script, which I will send him this week.”

Shailendra’s enthusiasm is palpable when he talks about his protagonist. “I will tell you one thing — Sher Singh ordinary hai, lekin kaam extraordinary karta hai!”

Karni Sena mounts more trouble, warns PVR cinemas to not release ‘Padmavati’

Celebrities

Oct 102017

ranveer Internet could finally exhale at 13:03 hours yesterday as the trailer of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited project Padmavati came to us. While the Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh starrer exudes grandeur from the very first scene of the trailer, it rightly seems like a celebration of Rajput valor and heroism with shades of the delicate love story between Maharawal Ratan Singh and Queen Padmini. A vicious Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji assures the grin on the royal faces while he maintains his wicked smile.

While the hoopla surrounding the movie and it’s historic relevance created quite a buzz, a Rajput body, Shri Rajput Karni Sena, seems to be vying to protect the projection of their Queen. Thanks to Karni Sena’s ‘interest’, the movie was attacked when it was being made.It all began with Bhansali being assaulted on the sets of his period-drama in Jaipur, Rajasthan and the tentacles soon spread to Maharashtra when sets were vandalized in Kolhapur. The crew was manhandled, Bhansali had to add an extra layer of scrutiny and return to Mumbai to complete the shoot, not to forget the extensive damage on the financial and creative scale.

The filmmaker was made to toe the line and succumb to the group’s aggression. Not only did he assure there was no distortion of facts or any kind of chemistry shown between Padmini and Khilji’s character, Karni Sena demanded to be in on the the script and be shown the movie first to then in order the final draft was ‘historically correct’ and protects the interest of their community. Despite handing out confirmations, Karni Sena doesn’t seem to be in any mood to listen. Ever since the posters were released they have issues threats to halt the release of the film.

Soon after the trailer was out and Sena was at it. This time they have gone for the cinema theatres and multiplexes. In what seems like a warning to PVR Cinemas, they have asked them to not release Padmavati and if done so, they’d be responsible for any kind of losses thereafter.

Rajput Karni Sena opines Rani Padmini has been wrongly presented in the film and that the misrepresentation hurts the sentiments of the Kshatriya community. While Bollywood is jumping with joy and has already deemed the film as a blockbusters, looks like Padmavati won’t descend to the screens so easily! Picture abhi baaki hai…

Bhansali issues ultimatum to employees after Ranveer Singh's 'Khilji' leaked

Oct 042017

On October 2, an elated Ranveer Singh took to his Twitter handle to announce the much-awaited poster of his character Sultan Alauddin Khilji from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. He had written, “Sultan Alauddin Khilji arrives tomorrow morning.”

However, much before its release, the poster got leaked, which forced the ‘Padmavati’ team to unveil Ranveer’s look way before scheduled and Ranveer posted his look on October 3 at 1:45 am. Despite the poster’s leak, his intense and evil look in the poster got him rave reviews.

The leak caused everyone in a fury but the man who was the most agitated is Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He is a filmmaker who maintains secrecy around his film’s characters and advises the stars to maintain low-profile while filming, to avoid any uncalled circumstances. As a repercussion of the poster’s leak, Bhansali has issued an ultimatum to the team of ‘Padmavati’, which could cost them their job if not abided by.

A source from ‘Padmavati’s team told india.com, “Bhansali sir is very upset with what happened. He is convinced that while the ones who leaked the look aren’t from the team, they got their hands on the Khilji posters thanks to someone in-house. He has issued a strict warning to the entire team which has everybody shocked, shaken and scared.” Sanjay Leela Bhansali continues and likes working with his same set of people and doesn’t leave them. Be it the PR’s, make-up artists, art directors, stylists, etc. But, the consistent leaks from his films are irking Bhansali and has given a strict warning to all of them. “Padmavati is a dear project and it has already seen many lows and blows since it started rolling.

Information leak from the sets or the looks of the important characters getting out before schedule is the last thing he wants. He has sent out a loud and clear message to his team that if anything pertaining to Padmavati is leaked anymore, he will do away with the entire team and get new people on board to work with him on future projects,” revealed the source to the portal. The dynamic posters of Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmini and Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh have been adored by the audiences, and the Bhansali extravaganza is slated to release on December 1, 2017.
