Ranveer Singh In 'Padmavati' Will Give You Nightmares With His 'Kohl' Stare

Oct 032017

If you ever felt that you are falling short of reasons to look forward to the remaining months of 2017, Bollywood has sorted things out for you with a ‘killer’ line-up of movies. And the torch-bearer of these awesome releases is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. Even before its release, the movie has been turning several heads and how. First, it was the controversy around the movie’s plot and the film sets being vandalized, and then things took a lighter turn when we saw how striking Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor will look in the movie as goddess queen Rani Padmini, and fierce and undefeated Maharawal Ratan Singh. We are already gasping for air after looking at the two.

While, the two looked stunning in their respective characters, we were still waiting for another shocker to hit us real hard and that was Ranveer Singh aka Sultan Allaudin Khilji’s look. With kohl eyes and a cold deadly stare, long tresses and a scar on his face; Ranveer Singh looks like a badass, making it harder to wait for the release.

Bhansali is known for his larger than life movies, which are filled with grandeur and opulence and this magnum-opus promises to tick all those boxes as well. Ranveer Singh will play the role of a cruel and ruthless antagonist who gets mesmerized by the beauty of Rani Padmavati. Well, when you have Deepika Padukone as the lead, it’s really difficult for anyone to not fall for her charm.

Ranveer’s new look has created quite a stir on Twitter, with people having differing thoughts about the character. However, there are some smartasses who are still not over ‘Game of Thrones’ and found some similarity between Ranveer Singh and Khal Drogo.

Ranveer has really worked hard for this role and the first look hints at how difficult his character is going to be. In fact, Ranveer got so engrossed into the character that he is reportedly consulting a psychiatrist to come out of this evil phase. This period drama ‘Padmavati’ is expected to release in December and is definitely going to be a game changer for Bollywood.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali put down the director’s hat to play peacemaker on the set of Padmavati, when a brawl between Ranveer Singh’s driver and bodygard brought shooting to a standstill. According to an entertainment portal, the driver got into a scuffle with the security person after he demanded to meet Singh’s manager to settle his payment, amounting to Rs 85,000.

The manager, who was in no mood to pay heed to the request, demanded that the bodyguard escort him from the set, which led to an altercation. The scuffle ended in the driver losing his job, we hear.

The Hangover Of Alauddin Khilji Is So Intense On Ranveer Singh That He's Seeing A Psychiatrist

Celebrities

Oct 012017

It goes without saying that Ranveer Singh is one of the most energetic actors in B-town. Within a very short span of time, he has become one of the most popular actors in the country all because of his sheer talent.

And when Ranveer decided to step into the shoes of any character, you just know he will put his heart and soul to make that character look larger than life on the silver screen. There are very few actors who can do something like that. Ranveer went out of his way to play an anti-hero character like Alauddin Khilji, who was known in history for his brutality and evil deeds.

Being said that, the man has literally left no stone unturned to play this character as convincingly as possible. From understanding the dark state of mind to getting the hang of powerplay, he is all into this nefarious invader.

And now the film is almost on the verge of wrapping up, Ranveer Singh is going through a very hard time. The hangover of playing Khilji is so intense that he just can’t get over it. As per reports, the actor is consulting a psychiatrist to come out of his evil mode.

“Getting out of this dark, intimidating mindset wasn’t easy for him. The film has also been shot for almost a year now, so sustaining the Khilji persona was very challenging. It affected his reactions and behaviour towards people. Which is why his friends advised him to get help in emerging beyond Khilji. He is going to a psychiatrist to get rid of the Khilji influences,” Deccan Chronicle quoted a source.

Well, the source further explained that since he has been shooting for almost a year, it has taken a toll on him. The effect is so harsh and acute that it has got everyone around him worried.

Now, this piece of news has totally raised our expectation to another level. We can vouch for the fact that we will get to see a side of him on screen that we have never seen before.

This period drama is based on Khilji’s fascination about Rani Padmavati’s beauty and how he wanted to capture her. There were also reports that we might get to see Ranveer romancing his slave-general Malik Kafur (Jim Sarbh), which has grabbed many eyeballs.

Ranveer Singh nervous to step into Kapil Dev's shoes for World Cup biopic

Celebrities

Sep 272017

It was a lovely view on a Wednesday afternoon to see the entire team of the 1983 Indian Cricket Team, who brought the World Cup home, in one frame. The moment of winning the trophy was recreated by the Captain of the team-Kapil Dev along with the reel captain Ranveer Singh, who celebrated the victory and announcement of the film ’83 by splashing champagne.

At the official announcement of Ranveer Singh signed on-board to play the dynamic Captain Kapil Dev, he was all smitten by the infectious energy in the air created by the cricket legends. Ecstatic about the association, the ‘Befikre’ boy said, “How am I going to do this!?” He added, “It’s my honour and privilege to do this film.” The cricket buff himself, Ranveer was fascinated by watching the legends who got India its first Cricket World Cup.

Host Gaurav Kapur revealed that the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actor was so excited meeting the cricketers that he clicked selfies with everyone and said, ‘In excitement I might throw up.’ “My generation always thought that cricket was always big. It was so shocking and surprising to learn that these gentlemen had to rise against the odds,” stated Ranveer Singh. He voted, “If you’re born in this country, then cricket has to be in your blood.”

Former Captain Kapil Dev also shared some amazing memories from the 1983 World Cup Tour. He said, “No one can say that I haven’t made any mistake. I have made many. I had a ‘fitoor’ (passion) of winning, half way through the tour we realised that we are a team. I wasn’t the captain, everyone was the captain. Everybody played really well. I really thank Kabir Khan for making a film on it. Lot of stories will come out, we’ll be embarrassed and happy also. We realised ourselves during the tour of ’83. Handling these characters( cricket team) was very difficult. it’s impossible to find such characters. We are missing Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar and Syed Kirmani over here. I apologise on their behalf but I believe they are doing better jobs right now.”

’83’ is being helmed by Kabir Khan and talking about the importance of this film in his life, Kabir shared, “I feel blessed that I’ve got the opportunity to narrate this story. It should never be forgotten. I was a school kid when I watched that match. There’s one story which is very close to a filmmaker, where he puts his everything. ’83 is that movie for me. When I went back to school after watching the match, I felt very proud because we had Kirti Azad in our school. Through this film I want to make my son feel as proud as I was as a young kid.”

Making biopics on sports legend has become a norm in the industry. Earlier, Sushant Singh Rajput pulled off former Indian Cricket Team’s captain- Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which shattered the Box-Office with its collection. It would be interesting to see Ranveer Singh pull off a Kapil Dev.

Ranveer Singh Roped In To Play Kapil Dev In Kabir Khan's Next

Celebrities

Sep 252017

Movies based on sports and sporting stars have become the latest fad in Bollywood and rightly so. The stories of our country’s sportsmen and women are nothing short of inspiring. The amount of hard work and dedication that goes into winning a laurel for the country definitely deserves to be brought to the limelight.

And when we talk about limelight, Ranveer Singh sure likes to stay in it. The ever-so-energetic star has jumped on the bandwagon of stepping into a sports star’s shoes. Becoming the latest actor to join the sports movie club, Ranveer is all set to play the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan’s next movie.

The movie would be based on India’s victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup when India played against West Indies in the finals and defeated the champions West Indies. It has been in news quite often because of the confusion that surrounded the choice of actor for Kapil’s character.

Earlier, rumors of Arjun Kapoor (who happens to be very good friends with Ranveer) playing the role were doing the rounds.

However, Trade Analyst and Movie critic, Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter to announce the latest news. His tweet read, “#BreakingNews: Ranveer Singh will turn cricketer #KapilDev in Kabir Khan’s sports-based film… #1983 #WorldCup.”

#BreakingNews: Ranveer Singh will turn cricketer #KapilDev in Kabir Khan’s sports-based film… #1983 #WorldCup.

— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) September 25, 2017

The movie will be written by National Award-winning director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan while ‘Bajrangi Bhaijan’ director Kabir Khan will be behind the direction wheel.

It’ll be co-produced by Phantom Films and the founder and managing director of the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), Vishnu Vardhan Induri, who also confirmed the news in an interview, “Yes, I am trying to make this film since the last three-and-a-half years and I have now got a combination of Ranveer Singh and Kabir Khan. Ranveer Singh is playing Kapil Dev’s role and it’s a bigger movie now.”

Talking about why he deems Ranveer fit for the role, he further said, “With his energy and passion, we feel that Ranveer is a perfect fit to play Kapil Dev, one of the greatest sporting legends India has ever produced.”

Vikramaditya Motwane of Phantom Films seconds him and said, “If any actor can do it, it’s Ranveer.”

Kapil Dev has served as an inspiration for budding cricketers across the country. Although this film will focus on the Indian team’s journey to win the cup, and not particularly on Kapil or any other sportsperson, his character holds quite a lot of weightage as he was then the captain of the Indian Cricket Team.

Ranveer is currently prepping up for the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati in which he is playing Alauddin Khilji.

Ranveer Singh is undoubtedly B-town’s favourite. The man goes beyond his way to entertain his fans and that is something we all love about him. From hilarious to quirky posts, Ranveer comes up with things that are beyond anyone’s imagination. But that being said that, there is truly no one in the industry who is as crazy and energetic as he is.

For a while now, the actor was busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’. But now he is back and how! First, he shaved off his beard that he has maintained for his new character, Allaudin Khilji and fans seem to love this new look of his.

He also shared a post last night where he was seen grooving to a 90’s famous number, ‘Sarkaye Lo Khatiya Jada Lage’. Well, we are absolutely sure that the song has already made you nostalgic. After all, how can we forget B-town’s number 1 on-screen pair of Karisma and Govinda making us tap our feet to this peppy number?

Ranveer Singh captioned the video as, “YOLO SO LOLO #timepass @therealkarismakapoor @govinda_herono1.” Lolo indeed was impressed with the clip and shared it on her Instagram as well.

But ‘Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’, as it seems that destiny wanted more. And soon Ranveer and Lolo both bumped into each other at the airport. And then something happened, as the two grooved together on the song once again, giving us major feels.

'Singh Is Kinng 2' Might Happen Soon With Ranveer Singh In The Lead, But There's A Glitch

Celebrities

Sep 072017

‘Singh is Kinng’ opened a new outlet for comedy movies. Full of Punjabi people, with a little bit of romance, a beautiful woman, and of course, a handsome Singh—Akshay Kumar.

Then came ‘Singh Is Bling’, which was a dud at the box office but still managed to make Akshay Kumar fans go crazy. The title of the movie was extremely catchy and even today, all the Singhs love using it for themselves. However, not many people know that the title of the big hit was actually gifted to Akshay Kumar by fellow producer Shailendra Singh. Akshay then gave it to Vipul Shah, and that is how the idea of converting into a full movie was conceived.

Shailendra Singh now wants to make his own version of the series and is very keen on signing Ranveer Singh for the lead role. This Singh is apt, he is entertaining and has all the sass required to carry the movie on his shoulders.

A post shared by Ranveer Singh (@ranveersingh) on Apr 7, 2017 at 7:53am PDT

But with great plans, come greater problems. In an interview, Shailendra explained the glitch that is stopping his plan to make the movie. “I created the franchise – the concept of the movie and the title was owned by me. I gifted it to Akshay, who, in turn, gave it to Vipul Shah. They have even thanked me for the title in the credit roll. I have been begging Vipul to return it to me, but he hasn’t relented. Yesterday, I sent him a text saying, ‘It’s been more than nine years and it’s obvious that you are not making Singh Is Kinng 2. So why not give the title back gracefully? Be a gentleman!” he explained in an interview. However, he has submitted a new title for the movie and he claims it’s better than ‘Singh Is Kinng’. His priority is to get Ranveer on board because he feels that Singh is a “lethal combination of Salman Khan and Johnny Depp.”

Ranveer is currently wrapping up ‘Padmvati’ with Deepika Padukone, and Shailendra Singh is busy with ‘Namastey Canada’ with Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor.

Shailendra Singh on 'Singh Is Kinng' title: I have begged Vipul to return it

Sep 052017

Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh

Nine years after Akshay Kumar’s Singh Is Kinng (2008) spun magic at the box office, producer Shailendra Singh is keen on making a sequel to the action comedy. He is in talks with Ranveer Singh to step into the shoes of Kumar.

However, Singh has run into his first hurdle in the nascent stages of production itself — filmmaker Vipul A Shah, who has the copyright to Singh Is Kinng, has refused to part with the title.

What’s interesting is that while Shah is giving Singh a hard time over the film’s title, he was embroiled in a similar situation in July. The filmmaker had to rename his Namastey London sequel as Namastey Canada since Kumar, who co-owns the intellectual property rights of the film, refused to part with the titles, Namastey England and Namastey London 2.

Vipul A Shah and Shailendra Singh

Talking about his ordeal, Singh says, “I created the franchise — the concept of the movie and the title was owned by me. I gifted it to Akshay, who, in turn, gave it to Vipul Shah. They have even thanked me for the title in the credit roll. I have been begging Vipul to return it to me, but he hasn’t relented.”

Singh adds that whenever he broaches the subject with Shah, the filmmaker states that he needs the title as he intends to make a sequel. “Yesterday, I sent him a text saying, ‘It’s been more than nine years and it’s obvious that you are not making Singh Is Kinng 2. So why not give the title back gracefully? Be a gentleman!'”

Disappointed by Shah’s behaviour, the producer has now submitted another title for registration. “I don’t want to fight any longer. I have got a new title; it’s sexier than Singh Is Kinng,” he claims.

Singh adds that he has already bounced the idea off Ranveer. “My priority is to work with Ranveer Singh. He is a lethal combination of Salman Khan and Johnny Depp. The film will be a heist drama. As soon as the script is ready, we’ll give him a narration.”

We reached out to Shah, but he remained unavailable for comment.

Get Ready To Meet The 10 Highest Paid B-Town Actors, According To Forbes Magazine

Celebrities

Sep 012017

With the kind of box office profits they bring in, these 10 Bollywood actors are making tons and tons of money. Even though many films tank at the box office, these actors are making big bucks from their film fees and brand endorsements.

Forbes has finally released a list of the 10 highest paid actors in B-town, after revealing the list of highest paid International actors around the world. In the world’s highest paid list, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar made it to the top 10, however, none of the Indian female actors made it to the list.

This latest list gives us a few more details about the earnings of Bollywood’s biggest celebs and their source of income. The magazine has taken an aggregate number from June 1, 2016, to June 1, 2017. The data is curated based on the collections and records of Box Office India, Box Office Mojo, IMDB, press interviews and more.

Well, King Khan rules the list followed Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. However, what has caught everyone’s attention is the fact that just 2 female actors have made it to this list. Meet the highest paid actors of B-town in the list below:

Shahrukh Khan

Yearly Earnings: $38 million (Rs 243 crore)

Salman Khan

Net worth: $37 million (Rs 236 crore)

Akshay Kumar

Net worth: $35.5 million (Rs 224 crore)

Aamir Khan

Net worth: $12.5 million (Rs 80 crore)

Hrithik Roshan

Net worth: $11.5 million (Rs 73.6 crore)

Deepika Padukone

Net worth: $11 million (Rs 70 crore)

Priyanka Chopra

As per Forbes, both Hollywood and Bollywood male actors earn a lot more than their female counterparts and the box office receipts show us why. Taking about the Hollywood list, the magazine said, “The top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million – nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women. While only three actresses made more than $20 million in 12 months, 16 actors broached the mark.”

And the same pattern can be seen in B-town as well. To be precise, Deepika Padukone earns about 30% of SRK’s total pay. It goes without saying that we are proud of both PeeCee and Deeps and everyone who made it to the list!
