17 September,2024 07:34 AM IST | Mumbai | ANIIt appears that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has decided to go solo for Love & War. Talk in the trade is that he will produce the Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal-starrer on his own. Even as the filmmaker is set to take his magnum opus on floors early next month, he is said to have inked a huge post-theatrical deal with Netflix. Backed by the success of his web series debut, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on the international streaming giant, the filmmaker is said to have secured a base price of R130 crore, with scope to increase the figure in keeping with its box-office performance. Moreover, SLB is in the final stages of closing the deal for the music rights with Saregama for about R35 crore. That’s not all. The filmmaker is also in advanced discussions with a leading network for the satellite rights, said to be in the range of R50 crore. The period war drama is set to cost about Rs 200 crore to make, without taking into account the remuneration of the artistes. Interestingly, Ranbir, Alia and Vicky are said to have finalised back-end deals with the filmmaker, with their fees coming from the theatrical revenue. The Animal (2023) actor will pocket the lion’s share from the theatrical collections. Known to mount his movies on a grand scale, SLB is sparing no effort or cost in making this period drama a big-screen extravaganza. Realty bites Prithviraj Sukumaran is expanding his real estate footprint in Mumbai. The actor’s production house has reportedly acquired a sprawling duplex in Bandra’s Pali Hill. The luxurious property, said to be measuring about 2,971 sq ft, with four parking lots, is said to have cost Rs 30.6 crore. Moreover, Prithviraj Productions Pvt Ltd also paid a stamp duty of R1.84 crore on the transaction that was registered recently. This is the south actor’s second property in the city. He, along with his wife Supriya Menon, also own another luxury apartment in the neighbourhood. They had bought it some years ago for about Rs 17 crore. Even as Prithviraj is currently readying his next directorial venture, L2: Empuraan, he will also be seen in Karan Johar’s Sarzameen with Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Empowering women through education Noted math tutor and Padma awardee Anand Kumar unveiled the first look of the film, Aayushmati Geeta: Matric Pass yesterday. Helmed by Prradeep Khairwar, the movie marks the debut of Kashika Kapoor, who plays the titular role. Prradeep recalled telling composer Sanjeev Anand Jha about his wish to meet Kumar. “Since Super 30 was releasing then, I sought Anand sir’s guidance to make a film about academics. He suggested that I should do something about girls’ education. I promised him that I would work on that idea,” said the director. He went back to him with the plotline and on getting the go ahead, developed the screenplay. Assured that Kumar was pleased with the screenplay, Prradeep set out to make the film. “After completing the film, when I showed the rough cut and the trailer to him, he assured me his support in taking it to the people,” the director added. Kashika, a Bandra girl, shared that she prepped extensively for the part of Geeta, the protagonist. “Before we began shooting, I lived in a village and interacted with locals to get the nuances of how they talk, behave, and go about their daily life,” she beamed. On his part, Kumar reiterated that he bats for girls’ education, saying, “Most parents in our villages are not really keen on getting their girls admitted into schools. Our message behind this film is to encourage the empowerment of women, especially girls in rural India, through education.” Meet Mr and Mrs Adu-Siddhu Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth recently tied the knot at a 400-year old temple in Wanaparthy, Telangana. They shared the news on social media with pictures from their south Indian wedding, saying, “You are my sun, my moon, and all my stars. To being pixie soulmates for eternity... To laughter, to never growing up... To eternal love, light and magic. Mrs & Mr Adu-Siddhu.”
17 September,2024 07:11 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamRomantic films are not new to Aditya Seal, who explored the genre with Tum Bin 2 (2016) and Indoo Ki Jawani (2020). But he considers his upcoming movie, Amar Prem, his favourite love story. The reason is simple. Hardik Gajjar’s directorial venture, also starring Sunny Singh, is a tender exploration of same-sex romance. Seal, who wrapped up the shoot earlier this month, says he is proud to add this project to his filmography. “Amar Prem is a project that’s close to my heart. It’s not just a love story, but a beautiful exploration of emotions and relationships that transcend traditional boundaries,” states the actor. In recent years, Hindi cinema offered us some wonderful queer love stories— from Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) to Badhaai Do (2022)—signifying a change that was long overdue. As Amar Prem joins the list, Seal says shooting for the movie in Chandigarh and London was a gratifying experience for the artiste in him. “It has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience because however hard I try, my reality was different from that of my character. We had an extensive schedule in Chandigarh, followed by another stint in London, after which I stayed back for a vacation,” he grins.
17 September,2024 07:02 AM IST | Mumbai | Mohar BasuFrom the time Kareena Kapoor Khan and Hansal Mehta announced their collaboration, one wondered what the marriage of the two cinematic sensibilities would look like—she, the face of blockbusters, and he, the voice behind hard-hitting stories. Now, the result is for all to see. The Buckingham Murders (TBM) is a moody thriller that is as much a story of a mother’s loss as it is a whodunit. We begin our conversation with the director, asking if he has thought of a sequel to TBM. A story where Kareena’s detective Jasmeet Bhamra takes on another case, perhaps? “The reports of TBM are encouraging. So, maybe we can come together again. I already have a prequel in mind for Jasmeet. It’s an origin story of how she became who she is today,” says Mehta. So, will it see the trio of Mehta, Kareena and Ektaa R Kapoor reunite? “Of course. They own the IP.” IP or not, the director would love to team up with the actor-producer duo again. Shooting the gritty thriller with them was a deeply satisfying affair, he says. One would think that convincing Kareena for the film was tough, but Mehta says, “Ektaa introduced me to Kareena. She was on board the moment she read the film’s treatment. It was a delight to work with her. Kareena is an instinctive actor, who doesn’t take her talent too seriously. That’s why there is a lightness of touch when she performs. It’s a complicated part, but she did it with sensitivity.” Making it a Hinglish affair was a leap of faith on the makers’ part. While they ran the risk of alienating a section of the audience, on the upside, they remained true to its UK setting. “The original story that Aseem Arora had written was set in the UK. I was clear that if the story is set there, it has to be truthful to its world. Often, we make Hindi movies in the UK where all the characters are speaking in Hindi. It feels fake to me. I wanted the experience to be authentic and Ektaa agreed with me.” From Shahid (2012) to Aligarh (2015), from Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020) to Scoop (2023), Mehta’s filmography is built on a foundation of brave stories. But the director admits there is something missing from his résumé. “I keep telling my writers to give me a love story. It’s an unfulfilled desire to make an epic love story—something like Doctor Zhivago [1965].”
17 September,2024 07:00 AM IST | Mumbai | Upala KBRBollywood superstar Salman Khan has warned of legal action against fake advertisements about him performing in the US. The actor took to his social media and shared a statement with the caption, “Official Notice!” The statement was a quote by his legal representatives after fake reports about the actor’s visit abroad surfaced. Official Notice! pic.twitter.com/Au4RO3OLWo — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) September 16, 2024 Salman Khan’s team releases statement amid fake reports of his US visit The statement by Salman’s legal team read, “This is to inform that neither Mr. Salman Khan nor any of his affiliated companies or teams are organizing any upcoming concerts, appearances in the USA in 2024. Any claims suggesting that Mr. Khan will be performing are completely false. Please do not trust any emails, messages, or advertisements promoting such events. Legal action will be taken against anyone found falsely using Mr. Salman Khan's name for fraudulent purposes.” Salman Khan’s upcoming projects Salman will be seen headlining 'Sikandar'. The film marks the reunion of Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala after their previous successful collaborations 'Kick', 'Judwaa', and 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, the film is set to release next Eid. In May 2024, the production house officially announced that Rashmika Mandanna was also a part of the film. Salman will also be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Tiger Vs Pathaan’. The film will reportedly have Tiger (Salman) locking horns with Pathaan, played by SRK. It will mark their full-fledged collaboration after 'Karan Arjun'. An official announcement regarding the project is still awaited. Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ to have high-intensity action sequences Murugadoss considers these sequences as the film’s highlight and is planning to mount them on a grand scale. A source revealed to Mid-day, “The first is an aerial action set-piece that sees Salman suspended from a height as he engages in hand-to-hand combat. Its choreography will blend aerial acrobatics with close-quarters combat. This scene, which also includes special effects, is expected to be one of the most visually stunning parts of the movie.” While the second scene in question is an elaborate car chase, complete with cars exploding and high-speed crashes, the third is the climactic battle. “Here, Salman’s character will have a face-off with the primary antagonist in a brutal brawl. The director wants it to be raw and bloody,” added the source.
16 September,2024 09:20 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAs ‘Pink’ celebrates its 8th anniversary, it's a fitting time to reflect on the remarkable journey of this acclaimed film. ‘Pink’, which went on to become a commercial success and won the National Award, was not always a guaranteed hit. In an old interview following the film’s release, Shoojit Sircar shared the challenges he faced in securing funding for the project. Despite its eventual acclaim and box office success, ‘Pink’ encountered significant obstacles before its release. Shoojit Sircar, who was both the producer and creative director of the film, faced numerous rejections from producers. This experience was both demoralizing and infuriating for Sircar. The film’s impressive cast, including Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu, was not enough to convince studios to back the project initially. Many believed ‘Pink’ would not succeed Sircar expressed his frustration, stating, "It's my vision, How do you know about my vision?" He was resolute in his decision to not let a handful of people in a studio dictate the future of his vision. Creative producer Ronnie Lahiri noted that many believed the film would not succeed given the casting choices and the story’s nature. Ritesh Shah, the film's writer, mentioned that the skepticism from some studios made Sircar feel as if his credibility as a filmmaker was being questioned, despite his previous successes with Vicky Donor, Piku, and Madras Cafe. Shoojit Sircar was really ‘pissed off’ Faced with repeated refusals, Sircar decided to take matters into his own hands, declaring, "Koi bhi studio ke paas nahin jayenge, khud karenge chahe kuch bhi ho jaye. I wasn’t challenging them, I was challenging myself. I was really pissed off." Ultimately, Sircar’s gamble paid off. The film, made on a budget of just Rs. 23 crore, exceeded expectations by grossing over 100 crore at the box office. About ‘Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Pink’ 'Pink', which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu in key roles, is the story of three women, who are aided by a lawyer in a molestation case against three boys from influential backgrounds. The Tamil version 'Nerkonda Paarvai' featured Ajith Kumar, while the Telugu version 'Vakeel Saab' starred Pawan Kalyan. As ‘Pink’ continues to be a powerful example of impactful storytelling, Shoojit Sircar and Rising Sun Films are set to carry forward their legacy with their next project. Their upcoming film, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, is scheduled for a worldwide release on November 15th, 2024.
16 September,2024 08:50 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentEsha Deol has been quite vocal about her personal and professional life. The actress recently discussed an orthodox ritual she followed while growing up, revealing that she was not allowed to pray at temples during her periods. Reflecting on the conservative norm, she shared, "I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in." Esha Deol talks about receiving sex education, recalls conservative norms at home In an episode of 'Hautterfly's The Male Feminist', Esha Deol recalled learning about menstruation and periods during sex education at school. She stated, “I learnt about it at school. Our school had sex education, and they taught us well and at the right time. And it is important. There are a few parents who feel uncomfortable and shy. We were not allowed to go to the temple and pray. When it is done, you can wash your hair and then you can pray. That’s just an orthodox way, and I follow it. I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in." Esha Deol recalls Dharmendra not wanting her to act In the same interview, Esha revealed that her father, Dharmendra, was against her becoming an actress and would have preferred her to marry and settle down by the time she was 18. She said, “He didn’t want me to enter the movies. He is a bit orthodox, rightfully so. He is a Punjabi father, and he wanted us to get married and settle down at 18.” “There was a phase where I would lie to go out on late nights,” she added. Esha Deol described her father as "rightfully orthodox," explaining that his views came from how he was raised. She mentioned that he wanted her to marry early, which was common in his environment. Esha added that while her father, being Punjabi, expected her to be married and settled by 18, her own upbringing was quite different. Esha Deol on the work front Esha made her Bollywood debut with 'Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe' and went on to star in films such as 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum', 'Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa', 'Kucch To Hai', 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne', 'LOC: Kargil', 'Yuva', 'Dhoom', 'Insan', 'Kaal', 'Dus', and 'No Entry'. Recently, she was part of Ajay Devgn's 2022 thriller series 'Rudra: The Edge of Darkness' and Suniel Shetty's show 'Hunter: Tootega Nahi Todega'.
