Trishala Dutt harbours acting aspirations, but dad Sanjay Dutt is against it. The star daughter, who is based in New York, recently shared a snapshot on Instagram and wrote, “Cardio seven days a week.”

A social media celebrity in her own right, Trishala’s sexy snapshot in a sheer top went viral. Does she still want to give Bollywood a shot? If only Papa Dukes (as she fondly calls Dutt) would relent.

ranbir_sanjayAce director Rajkumar Hirani who is helming the untitled biopic on Sanjay Dutt has kept everything about the film under wraps.

Recently, some images of Ranbir Kapoor in his character of Sanjay Dutt were leaked from the sets which raised everyone’s eyebrows.

The leaked looks of Ranbir Kapoor from the film have created immense curiosity and anticipation amongst Ranbir Kapoor’s and Sanjay Dutt’s fans.

The excitement level of the fans is so much that they have resorted to creating their version of posters for the much-awaited film. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in a totally different avatar in the film where he will be playing the reellife, Sanjay Dutt.

The actor has undergone a tremendous transformation for his role in the film. The talented actor has learnedthe nuances and accent of Sanjay Dutt very well apart from the physical transformation Ranbir underwent for the role.

Ranbir had adopted Dutt’s unique strut for the film by watching almost 200 hours of footage, transformed himself physically and also sported a wig to properly resemble the actor’s iconic 90’s mane.

Ranbir’s transformation into the character of Sanjay Dutt has proved one thing that the actor has done justice to the role.

Rajkumar Hirani his making one of the most ambitious projects of his film career- the Sanjay Dutt biopic. Ranbir Kapoor has stuck out his neck for portraying Sanjay Dutt on the big screen and trying to humanise him. Ranbir has undergone several physical transformations as well. Even Sonam Kapoor shot for an extensive portion in New York for the film. She is touted to play the role of Madhuri Dixit, who had a torrid affair with Sanjay Dutt in the 90s. However, one person is clearly a bit salty about her role and portrayal. That happens to be Maanayata Dutt, third wife of Sanjay Dutt.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, we hear that Hirani has not intimated her about the screentime her character will get, or what role she will play in the film. A nervous Maanyata, we hear, has been calling all and sundry (including Ranbir Kapoor), trying to get more info on the movie. The part of Maanayata Dutt will be played by Dia Mirza and ironically she only has good things to say about her role. “I believe Maanayata is someone who has a strong sense of self. Ranbir has transformed himself into Sanjay totally but I don’t think others need to do the same. I have interacted with her over the years and I think she is the anchor in Sanjay’s life. But I have perceived Maanayata through the wonderful writing (by Abhijat and Raju) that’s been written about her.”

The Dutt biopic has a stellar star cast comprising of Manisha Koirala playing Nargis Dutt, Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt and Vicky Kaushal as a close aide of Sanjay. The film is set to release in 2018. Sanjay Dutt has led quite a controversial life right from being accused of holding illegal arms and ammunition in his home during 1993 Mumbai blasts to battling drug addiction and multiple marriages.

A Pali Hill birdie was rather amused after hearing about Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff teaming up for Siddharth Anand’s film. To jog your memory, after Sanjay Dutt walked free in February 2016, the actor had chosen Anand’s thriller for his comeback.

After beginnning preparations for the role, Dutt did a rethink when he read the final draft. He felt it was a mish-mash of several Hollywood flicks like ‘Captain Phillips’ (2013), ‘The Jackal’ (1997) and Under Siege’ (1992).

Not wanting his comeback to be labelled a rehash of Western films, Sanju Baba opted out of the project. The birdie hopes the producers (Yash Raj Films) have read the script. And more importantly, seen the aforementioned Hollywood flicks. Or is it an entirely new story that Anand has come up with?

Apart from winning accolades and awards, including a National Award for her performance in ‘Neerja’ and being part of some of the biggest films like ‘Padman’, ‘Veere Di Wedding’ and the Sanjay Dutt biopic, Sonam Kapoor continues to be celebrated as a fashion icon. The star was honoured with the ‘Fashion Icon of the Year’ award at the Vogue Women of the Year awards.

Sonam Kapoor’s style is all about taking fashion risks and justifying it with utmost perfection. The star has a fearless, inimitable sense of fashion that reflects her love for experimentation.

The way she presents India on International platforms like the prestigious Cannes Film Festival is commendable.

Well, for most of us this would the ideal home but for a lot of B-town celebrities, these are the must-have feature in their very own vanity vans. 

You might wonder if a vanity van can even have so many things under one roof, but when you are Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, Varun Dhawan these things are just meant to happen. These vanity vans are way more important to them than their homes; after all, they spend most of their time in this moving pad than their mansions or apartments.

His love for the automobile is no secret to anyone who knows anything about Ajay. From acting, staying in shape to customizing his personal cars, the man loves to add a touch of his persona in everything he owns. So it’s not surprising that his vanity van totally describes him. As he loves to stay in shape and never skips a workout, and his van has the most amazing gym one could even think of.

Sanjay Dutt’s vanity van is said to be inspired by Airforce 1, as it has various features resembling the airplane that carries the President of the United States. The actor apparently paid 3 crore for his 12-metre-long Volvo van. Designed by none other Dilip Chhabria, Sanjay’s vanity van is very spacious with the top most features. You have an office lounge, high-tech touch screen lighting system, a bar, two 52-inch screens, computers and a gaming console too. That’s just insane!

Well, we all love Alia’s home that she recently gifted herself, but we totally love her cheeky vanity van too. Her van is full of chirpy vibes with a vibrant contemporary interior. While most actors go for high-tech interior designs, Alia likes to keep it simple and colourful. Designed by Amrita Mahalnakani, her van has coloured walls and you can find inspirational quotes everywhere. Now we know what keeps her so motivated all the time.

His vanity van is as elegant as he is. He is a tech savvy dude and his van is equipped with high-tech interiors. Giving it an edgy look, the vehicle is mainly made of wood and glass with a monochrome combination and blue lighting. That’s indeed one hell of a combination to have. There is an office, a meeting space, a bedroom, a lounge and a restroom. But what makes his vanity van different from others is the twin make-up section with are electronically controlled and can turn up to 280-degrees. It looks like this Greek god definitely loves to look at himself, all the time. 

Salman Khan

Wondering how Bhaijaan’s vanity van looks like it does. It is quite a reflection of him. It is stylish, gigantic and said to be the most stylish van in Bollywood. There is a huge portrait of him in the van and you also have a spacious rehearsal room, where he is often seen prepping for his scenes and finalising scripts. Equipped with high-tech gadgets, there is also a spacious meeting room and a bedroom. There is also a door where even cars can drive in, with a help of a ramp.

Within a very short period of time, Varun has already amassed a huge fan following in the industry. Varun always wanted a vanity van that made him feel at home and hence he has taken a lot of care to do up the interiors of the place. After his old van had an accident, he got a new one that he describes as the best thing ever.

Ekta Kapoor

It was a chase right out of a Bollywood film. A property, vital to the makers of Veerey Di Wedding, was ‘abducted’, with the demand of a ransom. Only, that the property in concern was the official Instagram account of the Kareena Kapoor and Sonam-starrer, and the ransom, a role in the film. On Friday, the cast and crew of the Ekta Kapoor production were in the midst of filming when they noticed something amiss with the film’s account on the photo-sharing platform.

The makers grew suspicious after they noticed that the profile image had been changed to a sketch of a monkey. Apart from featuring an emoji of the Pakistan flag, the updated description was amended to read: “I am paki papu bhai (sic).”

Speaking to mid-day on the condition of anonymity, a member of the film’s digital promotion team says, “We had noticed the development and others had also informed us about it. We immediately reported the hacking to the Instagram headquarters in Mumbai and retrieved [control of the account]. It was hacked for about 90 minutes, allegedly by a resident claiming to be Pakistani. He went live and spoke mainly in Arabic, announcing that he’d return the account if the producers gave him a role in the film.” The social-networking company sprung into action and retrieved the account, also tracing the hacker’s origin to the neighbouring country.

While social media handles of celebrities have been hacked in the past, the incident marks the first time a Bollywood film’s account has been compromised. Co-producer Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor remained unavailable for comment.

Hackers love Bollywood

>> In September 2016, Hrithik Roshan’s Facebook page had been hacked. An ‘enterprising individual’ went live on his feed for a few minutes.

>> He can split a bullet into two but can’t avert hackers. In August 2016, Rajinikanth fell prey to online theft when his Twitter account was hacked. His daughter, Aishwarya, took to her handle to inform fans of the development.

>> In August 2015, hackers cracked the code to acquire access to Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter handle. Links to adult sites were apparently shared on his feed.

Do you like to keep abreast of Bollywood and Hollywood movies to be released? Well, there is no reason to not be, especially if you are a movie buff. There are some eagerly awaited Bollywood picks in September and then, there are few good choices from the Hollywood too for the big screen entertainment.

In short, there is a whole, fresh bouquet of movies waiting to entertain you this month. Find out if the most anticipated movie (s) of the year features in the September 2017 list. Even if you still need to wait for that ‘BIG’ one, there is more to try and watch out for, because movie buffs like you and me don’t need a better reason to hit the movie halls on the first weekend of their release. Because we love it as a part of our lives. So, without keeping you on further hold, dig in to see what lies ahead this month.

Lucknow Central

Farhan Akhtar is back from big hiatus at least from the last time he delivered a hit. A lot has transpired in his personal life since then, so now, we should expect some serious professional transformation from him. ‘Lucknow Central’ is yet another musical performance from him and this time, in place of his old buddies, he forms a music group inside the prison. Smells like something more than good music is on offer for sure.

Simran

The vivacious actress is back with ‘Simran’. This Kangana Ranaunt starrer can be another power-house performance from the Queen. Riding high on the hopes of the audience, will Kangana deliver another stellar performance this time too? It seems so, considering, she again has a personality-centred movie release on schedule in September. The plot is different from what seems in the promo. It is about the journey of a Gujarati housekeeping lady landing in the crime field in the US. Intriguing, isn’t it, for no solo honeymoon trip here. 

Bhoomi

Sanjay Dutt is out, this time virtually on the big screen. We finally have a Sanjay Dutt release and the plot is a turbulent father-daughter life in an action-thriller drama presentation. Now, that is how we like Sanjay Dutt, in his big, wide, macho form. We know how he got back into shape when he was inside Jail; he lost some 20 kgs and now that he is back to entertain the viewers, we can’t help but observe much of his sculpted physique and of course, his honed acting skills after a gap.

Judwaa 2

Another Varun Dhawan and father directed movie. Last time we saw it was the 1990s in which, still the current heart throb, Salman Khan, was seen in a double role and entertaining the mass viewers. Varun Dhawan continues to dance to the same tunes in 2017, as most of the songs are remixed. Will he be able to deliver the same, with the two beauties, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu in his toe? Well, let’s try and find out how glamour can get more glamourous now.

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle

The new digital-style spy thriller is back and this time too, the secret agent is likely to impress with his statesman persona decoding a notorious criminal mastermind. If you have watched ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’, touted to be one of most entertaining spy action movies, getting as nearly as possible to the persistent James Bond franchise, then, you are in for some real dose of entertainment towards the end of the month. If you haven’t yet, then get hold of a DVD copy or internet download, so that you don’t miss the fun near you.

American Assassin

When it comes to Hollywood production of action and thriller, it is rarely you can afford to miss it. One of the September showcases is ‘American Assassin’ that tells the story of a CIA agent, who after acclaimed fame, is destined to bear the brunt of a tragic life and to be born again as a part of the nation’s most elite covert operations program. Let us see how this Mitch Rapp starrer takes us through the journey of one man leading two different lives.
