Varun Dhawan's character in 'Sui Dhaaga' revealed

Sep 112017

Varun Dhawan who was known for his commercial and masala films is set to star in ‘Sui Dhaaga’ a social caper based on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make In India’ campaign. The film also stars Anushka Sharma and is slated to go on floors by January 2018. According to a report in DNA, the details of Varun Dhawan’s character are revealed. Varun’s character is unlike anything he has essayed before. Says the source, “Varun plays a labourer, a hired help in the film. His look in the film will be in-sync with his character. The film hopes to raise awareness about indigenous cottage industries here in India and also talks about the dignity of labour.”

Varun was fascinated by the manner in which director Sharat Katariya recited the story. “Sharat is so passionate about the subject, his narration impressed Varun enough to say yes to the project,” says an insider. Sharat, who has earlier directed Dum Laga Ke Haisha, is known for his rustic, earthy touch and Sui Dhaaga will be no different.

This will be the first time that Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma will be paired opposite each other.

'Oonchi Hai Building 2.0' Is Nostalgia Packed With Some Brand New Sass

Celebrities

Sep 072017

The trailer of ‘Judwaa 2′ has already set the ball rolling for every Salman fan who is dripping with nostalgia. Varun Dhawan does a pretty good job but we surely miss the beauties from the original movie.

The new song from the movie just dropped today and we have many feels. ‘Oonchi Hai Building 2.0′ is sassy, cool, and peppy. It’s definitely already on the playlist of everyone who is a 90s fan.

The video is very similar to the previous one but I have to admit, the chemistry between Salman and Karisma is hard to beat.

But I am not discounting the fact that the new one is good as well. The only weird part is this one line where she is singing ‘mere swagger wale raja’, but I guess these days, in order to make a song ready for the millennials, music producers often add beats and weird words to make it work.

It’s fun to hear Anu Malik croon again after a very long time. The song also brings back memories of all the times we danced to this crazy number back in the day. The new one is meant for the night club and long drives, though I am betting on it being the new ‘cool’ couple song for weddings as well. “Oonchi hai building has in a way transcended time and has a huge universal appeal and I’m extremely humbled by the way it has been received. The new song has retained the energy and spirit, while the new cast has given it their all for this song as I feel they wanted to live up to the expectation of the original chartbuster. The choice again to retain this song is an ode to the spirit of Judwaa, we hope the people will accept this with all its youthfulness intact and probably 20 years from now this version does what the previous is still doing”, says David Dhawan, the director of the movie.

Shoojit Sircar introduces his 'October' actress Banita Sandhu

Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu

Ever since the announcement of Shoojit Sircar’s next directorial outing, ‘October’ starring Varun Dhawan was made, everyone has been guessing who the female lead would be. While many names were rumoured to be a part of the venture, Sircar put the speculations to rest by declaring his new find – Banita Sandhu.

Shoojit is known to have a keen eye for spotting talent and launching them in his films. From Minissha Lamba (‘Yahaan’) to Yami Gautam and Ayushmann Khuranna (‘Vicky Donor’), he has played a mentor to many talented actors.

Banita is from Wales in United Kingdom and has done some advertising assignments including the very popular Wrigley’s Doublemint (‘Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se’) Television commercial directed by Shoojit last year.

“When it comes to the genre of romance, it is always beautiful to see a fresh pairing. Something about seeing their chemistry blossom through the reels of the film, makes you feel a part of their journey from the very beginning. For ‘October’, that was one of the main reasons why I chose Banita for the lead role opposite Varun,” says Sircar.

Talking about ‘October’, Producer Ronnie Lahiri of Rising Sun Films adds, “At Rising Sun Films, our endeavour has always been to create stories that are simple, connect with the audience and stay with them. October will hopefully be one more step in that direction.”

Toasting their previous successes (‘Vicky Donor’, ‘Piku’), Shoojit Sircar will be once again collaborating with Juhi Chaturvedi for this film, making it all the more exciting. With a repertoire of films like ‘Yahaan’, ‘Vicky Donor’, ‘Madras Cafe’, ‘Piku’ and ‘Pink’ that have explored different genres and have won accolades including National Awards, Rising Sun Films’ new venture, October, will be a story about love and promises to be yet another intriguing watch.

If reminiscence of the 90s is your thing and you still listen to the ‘building’ song then hold your heart. Varun Dhawan is packing a punch full of entertainment in ‘Judwaa 2′ and the trailer looks good!

The songs have been recreated, Karisma and Rambha have been replaced by Taapsee and Jacqueline but since the stakes are high, it is safe to assume that this one won’t disappoint.

Varun Dhawan cannot replicate the magic that Salman weaved but we have to give it to him for doing a pretty good job with his comic timing (don’t forget the hard work that shows in the form of his crazy body).

Jacqueline Fernandez’s film with Salman Khan shelved? Here’s the truth!

Celebrities

Aug 102017

salman-khan-jacqueline-fernandez Just yesterday, the rumours started flashing that Salman Khan has kept the movies on hold as he isn’t convinced to play a dancing dad and feels that this role is more suitable for the likes of Varun Dhawan or other younger actors like him.

Jacqueline Fernandez was roped in to play the lead opposite Salman Khan in the dance drama. Today, we got a chance to meet her and in a group interaction with the media, she was asked that has the movie been shelved. Answering on these lines, she said, “The movie hasn’t been shelved. The movie has just been pushed. I think the lineups has been changed around a little bit. So now, we are just trying to figure out what’s going to work that is best for the team that we have existing and see how to move ahead.”

Probe her further, she said, “As far as I am concerned, it is. I know Remo wants to make this film and Salman is very keen. But, I just think just the line ups have changed. There’s been no official announcement on it. Nothing’s been confirmed just yet because people are just trying to figure it out. That’s all I know for now.”

As Salman recommended Varun’s name, the rumours started floating around that the young talented actor might be replacing the Dabangg Khan. When asked about it, Fernandez said, “I don’t know about that. I have no idea about that. It has not been communicated to me.”

What do you have to say about it?

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

Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez are busy shooting for their upcoming film ‘Judwaa 2′ and we bet there is no one who isn’t excited to watch this one.

The film is a sequel to ‘Judwaa’ starring Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor that made it big at the box office. From leaving us in splits to making us groove on ‘Tann Tann Tara’, Salman’s performance was loved by everyone. And the cherry on top was seeing him in a double role.

Those who are still clueless about what we are talking, watch the trailer of the original now…..like just now!

The sequel is set to release in September this year. The shooting of the film has already begun and we saw Varun Dhawan sweating it out in the gym to get a perfectly ripped body for his role.

He’s someone who everyone loved in the original film and is an inseparable part of the franchise and I’m glad he will be part of ‘Judwaa 2′ as well.” Now isn’t that exciting?

Taapsee Pannu excited to work with Salman Khan in Judwaa 2

Celebrities

Jul 072017

tapaase Actress Taapsee Pannu has wrapped up shooting major portions of her upcoming film “Judwaa 2” and is now looking forward to shoot with superstar Salman Khan.

“Judwaa 2” is a sequel to the 1997 hit film “Judwaa” which starred Salman in a double role. In the second installment, Varun Dhawan reprises the role of the superstar.

When asked how is the film shaping up, Pannu told reporters, “The shooting is going good, it’s about to get over. Two songs and a scene with Salman are left. We will shoot that soon… I am very excited to meet him, it will be my first time, and to share screen space with him.”

The actress recently shot two songs for the movie which were retained from the original, “Oonchi Hai Building” and “Tan Tana Tan”.
“It was so much fun shooting ‘Oonchi Hai Building’ and ‘Tan Tana Tan’, I didn’t want the shoot to end. These are the songs I grew up listening so I can dance on them for days,”

she said at Sportsperson of the Year award event here last night.

Pannu said if not a movie star, she would’ve loved to be a sports personality as she admires them a lot.

“I feel if I had gotten a chance or had some sports skills, I would’ve definitely tried to be a sports star instead of an actor. I am a sports lover and admire it very much, because the way they play under pressure, with no retakes, representing the country, all of them are big heroes for me.”
