War to SURPASS Bharat and emerge as the BIGGEST Hindi opener of 2019, feels trade!

War to SURPASS Bharat and emerge as the BIGGEST Hindi opener of 2019, feels trade! The trade and industry is quite upbeat, thanks to the release of the Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer War in a few days. That these two dashing and extremely popular actors have come together had made War a film to watch out for, since the announcement stage itself. The teaser and trailer further upped the hype and so did the songs. It releases on Wednesday October 2, a national holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti. 2019 still have a few more biggies to release but none of them arrive on the day of festive holiday. As a result, War has the potential to have the biggest opening day of 2019 for a Hindi film. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirms the buzz for War as he says, “The craze for War is humongous, majorly because of Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff coming together. Secondly, it’s an action film and thirdly, the timing is very apt. It releases on Wednesday October 2, a five-day weekend. T

EXCLUSIVE: How Salman Khan’s RADHE directed by Prabhu Dheva almost happened but DIDN’T! Probably the biggest speculation today is the announcement of Salman Khan’s next movie on Eid 2020 and the last few week has been fuelled with the superstar’s denying that his movie was called Radhe .

Kartik Aaryan joins Alia Bhatt as her love interest for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai?

Image
Kartik Aaryan joins Alia Bhatt as her love interest for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai? Is Sanjay Leela Bhansali considering Kartik Aaryan for a key role for his next directorial Gangubai ? If the buzz in the B-town is anything to go by, this could well turn out to be a possibility. It is a known fact that after shelving of Inshallah, the filmmaker has started work on Gangubai with Alia Bhatt where she would be seen as a central protagonist. While she has the biggest part in the film, the script also includes a young male character who has an important part to play as well as Alia’s love interest. To get the right actor enact this part, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has intensified his search so that preparations are well in place before the film goes on floors. This is where Kartik Aaryan fits in. Of what we hear, the character appears at a crucial juncture of the film’s narrative and leaves a strong impression. Knowing Bhansali’s penchant for getting his characterisation and casting p

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sunny Leone's song shoot comes to a halt after technicians protest

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sunny Leone's song shoot comes to a halt after technicians protest The shooting for a special song from Athiya Shetty’s upcoming film Motichoor Chaknachoor came to a halt after the technicians staged a walkout with members of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). The protest was a mark of their allegiance to the unit hands who were formerly associated with the film and were allegedly not paid their dues by the producer of the film, Rajesh Bhatia. The song was a last-minute addition to the film which features actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui alongside Sunny Leone. The song was to be shot at Filmistan Studio in Goregaon. In March this year, the producer had shown the door to director Debamitra Hasan and several other unit members citing creative differences. Hasan claims that they are still to be compensated for their work. Meanwhile, Ashok Dubey, the general secretary of FWICE while speaking to a media house said that they had received several

Sanjay Dutt signs Prassthanam co-star Satyajeet Dubey for a three film deal Sanjay Dutt’s production house, that kickstarted with Bhoomi,  released Prassthanam earlier this month. They are now mentoring new talent and the newest under their wings is Satyajeet Dubey, who plays Dutt’s younger son in the film. Though he made his debut a while ago, the actor feels that the film gave him a new lease of life. After what he calls the biggest film of his career along with his screen idol Sanjay Dutt, rumour has it that the actor has been given a three-film deal with the production house. Because, Maanayata Dutt saw great promise in the young actor - reminding him of the impish quality of Vinod Khanna, she has signed him on for three other projects with the house. While the next project for Dubey is still in the works, the actor has been committed to two more projects with the stable.

But Aparna Sen who headed the jury for the selection of the Oscar entry is adamant that only Gully Boy deserved to make the cut. In an exclusive chat with this writer, Aparna Sen says, “ Gully Boy got the most number of votes. Because of its overall artistic merit as well as its popular appeal, it was felt by the jury to be the fittest film to represent India at the Oscars, which is essentially a popular award.” However, there is a storm of protest brewing against Gully Boy going to the Oscars because of its striking similarities to the Curtis Hanson-directed 2012 Ho
