Akshay Kumar has always tried to do his bit for the community of stuntmen. Two years after he launched an insurance scheme for Bollywood's stuntmen, the actor once again rushed to the aid of two stunt artistes who were recently injured. Bittoo and Hari Singh, members of senior action director Sham Kaushal's stunt team, were injured during the rehearsals for a song launch from Good Newwz in Chandigarh. Though Kumar was not present at the scene, the actor along with Karan Johar promptly arranged for an air ambulance to fly one of them down to Mumbai for necessary medical treatment. Recounting the accident that occurred on Tuesday, Kaushal says, “The film’s production team wanted to do a rehearsal, for which I sent three members of my team. It was important to check if the wire work was smooth and performing the stunt was a safe proposition. As part of the stunt, two of them, Bittoo and Hari Singh, were attached to the winch machine and were performing stunts mid-air. But durin

Dabangg 3 asked to remove visuals of sadhus dancing but CBFC unlikely to comply

Image
Religious intolerance get a new definition this week as a fundamentalist organization has asked the  Central Board Of Film Certification to remove visuals of Sadhus dressed as gods dancing with Salman Khan to the sound of 'Hud Hud Dabangg' . Says the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti, “If the movie happens to be on the lines of what we have seen in the trailer, it is extremely shocking depiction of Hindu deities and sadhus and also goes at great lengths to humiliate and poke fun at the basic foundations of Sanatana Dharma.” However, it is unlikely that the aforementioned  visuals will be removed from the film. A source close to Dabangg 3 says, “The song and its visuals have been cleared by the censor board. There is nothing scandalous or improper about Sadhus dancing. They do so quite often in real life. This is  one more example of niche religious organizations trying to gain publicity by fastening their fortunes to a huge franchise. There will be no compromise on  this issue.” Sou

DABANGG 3: Millennial Munni, Warina Hussain, praises Salman Khan; says he doesn’t need choreography

Image
Warina Hussain is thrilled to carry on the baton from Malaika Arora who made ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ one of Bollywood’s most popular songs. Now Warina finds herself in the enviable position of sharing screen space with Salman Khan in ‘Munna Badnaam Hua’ from Dabangg 3 . But with good opportunities come expectations. Only a film old in the industry, the youngster's act will inevitably be compared to that of Malaika Arora. “To be called Millennial Munni is a big high for a newcomer like me, says Warina. Salman sir's spontaneity in front of the camera is well-known. He often devises his own steps that go on to become a rage among his fans. Salman sir is like my mentor. I was expecting him to share his feedback, but he gave me my space, which was wonderful. He doesn't need choreography and improvises a lot. So, I had to catch up with him on the steps." While the audio of the song is already out and is been loved, the video will be launched today. Also Read: Salman Khan and

Priyadarshan admits that it took him so many years to work with Shilpa Shetty but he is looking forward to it. The actress is paired opposite Paresh Rawal in this comic caper. They've named it Hungama 2 due to hilarious misunderstandings and confusion that arise which have the element of Hungama. Hungama 2 , directed by Priyadarsh

Is Raveena Tandon playing Indira Gandhi?

In the sequel to the hit franchise KGF , Raveena Tandon will be playing a politician whose look and ideology would be inspired by Mrs Indira Gandhi. This fact is not being divulged by the film’s team including leading man Yash and Raveena herself. Says a source close to the team, “Portraying any real politician is a very big risk these days. More often than not, you have a whole lot of disapproving protesting masses who want to stop the film.” So Raveena is very quietly studying Mrs Gandhi’s mannerisms and trying to imbibe them. Says a source, “She won’t imitate Mrs Gandhi. That would look very cheap and unconvincing on screen. She has seen the way Mrs Gandhi has been played in recent films. She would rather do it her own way.” Raveena has played a politician before in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Satta . “But this time she will play it in an entirely different way.

SCOOP: Has Shah Rukh Khan signed Raj Nidimoru-Krishna DK's next?

Image
In less than a month, it’ll be a year since Shah Rukh Khan’s last film Zero released. The superstar played a dwarf in this film and despite the novelty, Aanand L Rai’s direction and stellar star cast, the film failed miserably, not even crossing Rs. 100 crore mark. It was a twin setback for SRK as his previous flick Jab Harry Met Sejal had similarly bombed. Shah Rukh Khan hence went in an introspection mode and decided to take his time in signing his next. Thankfully for him, various filmmakers were still desperate to cast him and he was inundated with film offers. It was expected that he’ll sign and announce his next film within six months of Zero ’s release. But as one can see, it’s been almost a year and there are no signs of any announcement by Shah Rukh Khan regarding his upcoming film. However that doesn’t mean he hasn’t shown interest in any film at all. Bollywood Hungama was the first Bollywood portal to reveal exclusively that he’s all set to sign popular Tamil director A

Varun Dhawan, Bhumi Pednekar, Kiara Advani team up for Shashank Khaitan’s next

Image
In a major casting coup, filmmaker Shashank Khaitan has found his next lead actors in Varun Dhawan, Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani. Varun, who has previously worked with Shashank in two films – Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania , is collaborating with him for the third time but it is not for Rannbhoomi – the period drama which is put on hold. The yet-untitled film revolves around the three characters and it was Shashank Khaitan and Karan Johar who zeroed in on the leading ladies. They required fresh pairing for the film and Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar were the apt choices. The film is currently in the scripting stage before it gets finalized. They plan to begin it by mid-2020. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan is working on comic caper Coolie No 1 with David Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan which is scheduled for May 1, 2020. Bhumi Pednekar has a couple of films lined up starting with Pati Patni Aur Woh which is releasing on December 6. Kiara Advani, on the other hand, is s
