Abhishek Bachchan gained weight for 'I Want To Talk', says belly is real

Abhishek Bachchan will soon be seen in Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film 'I Want To Talk'. Recently, the actor opened up about the film, his role, his transformation journey, and his experience of shooting with Shoojit Sircar. Abhishek mentioned how shooting with Shoojit was a surreal learning experience and has changed him in many ways. Shoojit Sircar is known for his commitment to the craft and special stories that he brings in front of the audience. His films are known for leaving an unforgettable impression on viewer's minds, they deliver something which the audience ponders about even after exiting the theatre. The filmmaker is known for his films like 'Vicky Donor', 'Piku', 'October', 'Gulabo Sitabo', 'Pink', 'Madras Cafe' and 'Sardar Udham'. Although the actor has worked several times with Big B, 'I Want To Talk' is the first project where he has collaborated with Abhishek Bachchan.   Abhishek Bachchan talks about the film and his past movies at the box office At the music launch event of 'I Want To Talk' Abhishek opened up about his character in the film and his physical transformation. The 'Bob Biswas' actor said, "There’s always a huge beeline outside his office because the experience of making a film with him is very transformative. Not just physically, but from what you see too". The actor also mentioned that the huge belly visible on the actor at the film's poster is real and not a prosthetic. The actor gained weight specifically for the film which he has now shed. Further, he said, "But it’s been a learning experience. It’s been life-changing. And I hope that we’ve managed to make a bit of a difference to you too during the three hours that you spend in the cinema watching the film. We’ve worked hard. It’s a very sincere effort.  Today, a new song 'Gum Ho Kahan' by Taba Chake was released.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Abhishek Bachchan (@bachchan) Talking about the film, the actor mentioned, "It reassures you that there’s a little space for everybody out there. And I hope you all can find some sort of parallel in your own life. We’re all stuck in the rut of life, we’re doing what we’re doing. Some of us have got corporate jobs, some of us are artists, and life dictates to you what you should be doing and how you should be doing it." While praising Shoojit's style of shooting, Abhishek said that the director always tries to do something different from the mainstream commercial films and his style of storytelling is truly unique, feels like a "breath of fresh air" and the director gave him the confidence to 'do something different'. When asked about his film's failure at the box office, the actor replied, “In life, everything you do should be memorable. The success and failure of any endeavour in life, be it business, sports, or film, is not in your hands. What’s in your hands is that the memory associated with making whatever you’re making is memorable.” A week ago, the film's trailer was launched and it has intrigued the viewers and stirred up a conversation. The film also has a deeper personal meaning for the director Shoojit as Abhishek revealed that it is based on the real-life story of one of his dear friends. The film will be released in theatres on November 22.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Abhishek Bachchan (@bachchan) Abhishek Bachchan's work front and upcoming projects Abhishek has had a fair share of ups and downs at the box office with only two films released theatrically in the past six years- 'Manmarziyaan' and 'Ghoomer'.

Jacqueliene Fernandez's counsel claims she was unaware of money laundering

Delhi High Court on Wednesday heard part arguments on behalf of Bollywood actress Jacqueliene Fernandez. She has challenged the charge sheet filed against her in Rs. 200 crores money laundering case. It was submitted that she was not involved in the offense of money laundering. She was unaware that the gifts she received were part of the alleged proceeds of crime.

"It is also not the case of ED that she was aware that gifts she received were part of proceeds of crime," senior counsel argued. He submitted that there was an omission on her part, but it was not an illegal omission. Therefore not actionable in law. ED has alleged that Jacqueline did not verify the newspaper article about Sukesh Chandrasekar. She received gifts from Sukesh. It was submitted that Jacqueline Fernandez came across the Newspaper article in February 2019. But newspaper article is not evidence. She was convinced by the co-accused Pinky Irani that Sukesh had high political connections and was a political fixer. He recieved calls from the Home Ministry office. He was made a scapegoat for his political connections, Senior advocate submitted. It was also submitted that after coming across the newspaper article, Jacqueline had stopped communication with Sukesh Chandrasekar.

Rashii Khanna drops a life lesson with fun BTS from 'The Sabarmati Report'

The release of 'The Sabarmati Report' is just a day away, and excitement is building as everyone eagerly awaits the film that brings to life a story of an incident that shook the nation. Raashii Khanna truly adds an enchanting presence to the set of this hard-hitting tale. The actress recently shared a BTS video, where she appears cheerful and fully immersed in her work, laughing and engaging wholeheartedly with the team. Rashi Khanna and Vikrant Massey's fun BTS Raashii Khanna posted a fun BTS video on her social media, showcasing her vibrant spirit. Her caption perfectly captures the mood, as she shines in all her enchanting colors. "क्योंकि खाना, गाना, हंसना और बतियाना बहुत ज़रूरी है,!#bts #thesabarmatireport"           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Raashii Khanna (@raashiikhanna) A few days ago, Rashii Khanna shared a cute video where Vikrant Massey is seen putting a 'nazar ka tika' on the actress to protect her from evil eyes.            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Raashii Khanna (@raashiikhanna) 'The Sabarmati Report' actor Vikrant Massey trolled by netizens Recently, Vikrant Massey was trolled by netizens for making a statement on the country's independence. The cast appeared on the Top Angle podcast with journalist Sushant B Sinha. On the podcast, he was talking about India's modern history and its impact on the citizens. "We need to understand that we are a young nation. It's been 76-77 years (since the independence). After hundreds and hundreds of years of oppression - from the Mughals, the Dutch, the French, and the British - we got one so-called Azadi (independence). But was it independence? The colonial hangover that they left, we stayed in it. I feel that the Hindus have finally got that opportunity to ask for their identity in their own country. We sometimes don't pay attention to this concept of identity, the concept of sentiment. The biggest wars have been fought on sentiment; most of the decisions in our lives are driven by sentiment and how we feel," he said. The Sabarmati Report actresses Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra were a part of the interview and were seen intently listening to Massey's statement. The actor in the interview also shared that he has been getting death threats since the poster of the film was released.

Junaid Khan

Junaid Khan to have two releases on V-Day 2025 weekend?

We haven’t seen much of Junaid Khan since his Bollywood debut in June with Maharaj, but it looks like we might get a double dose of him in February 2025. Trade insiders suggest that his yet-untitled next, produced by superstar-father Aamir Khan and co-starring Sai Pallavi, is eyeing a Valentine’s week release. As luck would have it, his romantic drama with Khushi Kapoor, co-produced by Boney Kapoor, is already lined up for a February 7 outing. Two Junaid-starrers releasing back-to-back will only eat into each other’s business, but insiders say that the producers of both are keen to cash in on the Valentine’s Day hype. Khushi Kapoor and Sai Pallavi A source told us, “Aamir has been eyeing February 14 for months. They have planned promotions and distribution channels around this date. So, changing it now is difficult.” Meanwhile, a source associated with the Boney and Phantom Studios’ production, said, “In September, the makers had announced the release date. Keeping the film’s theme of young romance in mind, they want to stick to the February window.” The Junaid-Khushi starrer, directed by Advait Chandan, is an official remake of the Tamil hit, Love Today (2022). It is now heard that the producers will meet soon to discuss the possibility of moving dates. The source adds, “Right now, Aamir is busy with Laapataa Ladies’ promotions in the US for Oscars. But he is planning to meet the producers of Love Today remake later this month, before the two parties lock their dates. An announcement of the new dates is expected by December.”

Neha Dhupia says Bollywood colleagues did not support awareness marathon

It was an encounter during one of her morning runs that led Neha Dhupia to organise a marathon to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene. The actor recounts, “I saw a senior coach scolding a boy, saying, ‘Why are you running like a girl?’ I found that offensive and questioned the coach, asking him, ‘Sir, what do you mean by that? Girls are outrunning everyone.’ It bothered me that even today, we talk like this. Anita Lobo, who is also a runner, saw this and asked me if I’d be interested in initiating a marathon.” Set to take place on December 8 at MMRDA Grounds, GoFloRun aims to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene and women’s health. “In cities, we’re talking about tampons, menstrual cups, etc. But in rural places, girls have to drop out of school after the onset of their periods. That’s the disparity we are staring at,” she exclaims. Besides putting her might behind the cause, Dhupia requested her colleagues in Bollywood to lend their support. But she was left disappointed. “I reached out to many people and told them to do a photo-op. But all of them turned down, saying they were busy. Otherwise people are free. But when it comes to helping, no one does it,” she rues, adding, “I get when artistes choose to be silent over certain matters on which their opinion can cause hurt. But for these causes, it’s good to use our voice.” Dhupia, who is currently shooting Roadies 20, says that even at work, she ensures that her surroundings are gender-sensitised. She notes, “Our sets have become much better when it comes to access to hygiene for women. I’m doing a show where we’re on the road, and we all are sensitive about the hygiene and comfort of all the women working with us.”

Salman Khan

Salman Khan's representative clarify he is not associated with Kapil's show

After the makers of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show landed in a legal soup for allegedly disparaging the legacy of Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore, rumours were rife that actor Salman Khan—who had bankrolled the television version of the show—had also received a notice. However, the star’s representatives have issued a statement denying any association with the series. Khan’s representative shared in a statement, “We are not associated with The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. Certain sections of the media are reporting that Salman Khan and SKTV have also received the notice, which is incorrect.” The notice was sent on behalf of Dr Mondal, President of the Bongo Bhashi Mahasabha Foundation (BBMF), on November 1. It accused the makers of hurting cultural sentiments by disrespecting the Bengali poet. Another sequel With film sequels having emerged as among the highest earners at the box office this year (Stree 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3), filmmakers are evidently looking to convert their past hits into franchises. The latest to join the bandwagon is Subhash Ghai, who revealed yesterday that he was creating a follow-up to his 2004 drama, Aitraaz. Twenty years since the film was released, Ghai is hoping to cash in on the success of the Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer. The romantic thriller was directed by Abbas-Mustan. Ghai, who produced the film via his banner Mukta Arts, said the script of the sequel is ready. Laapataa language? In a bid to get itself ready for consideration at the 2025 Oscars, India’s official entry, Laapataa Ladies, has been re-branded. The makers of Kiran Rao’s film shared a new poster with the name, Lost Ladies, on the official Instagram account. Co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the movie gained critical acclaim and began its Academy Awards campaign with much fanfare. Khan recently kicked off the campaign at New York’s Indian food restaurant, The Bungalow, where he was joined by Rao. The duo was seen posing with chef Vikas Khanna, who hosted the event, creating buzz for the film in the US Oscars circuit. Another one in his kitty Vicky Kaushal will headline Mahavatar, an upcoming mythological film from Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik, the makers announced yesterday. The film will feature Kaushal as Chiranjeevi Parashurama, the “eternal warrior of dharma”. It will be released in theatres on Christmas 2026. The production house unveiled the project on its social media handles along with a first-look poster of Kaushal. “Dinesh Vijan brings to life the story of the eternal warrior of dharma,” read the post, and included other details relating to its release. Kaushal is also starring in the production house’s Chhaava, which will hit screens on December 6. The real chat show? Telugu star Rana Daggubati is set to host his eponymous streaming chat show that will see a star-studded line-up of actors from the south Indian film industries. The Rana Daggubati Show will be an eight-episode Telugu original series, with the actor having been the creative mind behind it. The guest list includes Dulquer Salmaan, Naga Chaitanya Akkineni, Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Sreeleela, Nani, SS Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma, among others. “For too long, talk shows have just scratched the surface when it comes to getting to know our favourite celebs. But we’re flipping the script! Our show is a backstage pass into the real lives of these stars—many of whom are my buddies and colleagues,” said the actor of the show that premieres on November 23. Sunny gets candid Sunny Leone was recently invited as a guest on the podcast of Indian-Australian actor and activist, Amy Aela. Among the topics that Leone discussed on Kindness with Amy were the Indian government’s treatment of dogs, building a cruelty-cosmetic business, how her love for animals served as motivation to turn vegetarian, and her decision to adopt her daughter, Nisha Kaur Webber. Ahaan’s next goes on floors Mohit Suri has kicked off his film with Ahaan Panday, who will make his acting debut with this venture. The project, a young love story under Yash Raj Films’ banner, commenced with a night shoot at Mumbai’s St Xavier’s College.
