'Badrinath Ki Dulhania:' Varun Dhawan-Alia Bhatt's film is not a sequel to 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania'

Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are set to recreate their magical chemistry in "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" and they wrapped up the first schedule recently. As the film is being referred to as the sequel of "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania," Alia Bhatt revealed that it is not a sequel.
In a recent interview, Alia said that "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" is not a continuation of the first part, but it is a franchise. "The film is not a sequel, it's not a continuation. It's a franchise. It's a different story, it has another person and dulhania with a common thread that's a love story," Alia told the Press Trust of India.
The film went on floors on May 3 and it is being directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The first schedule of the film has been shot in Mumbai and the team will also reportedly shoot in Kota and Jhansi.
The first schedule has recently been wrapped up as Varun shared a picture with the team on social media. It is said the actors will be presented in a different avatar, and they will speak in a North Indian accent. The film will be a fresh story set against a rural backdrop up North.
The announcement of the film was made with an interesting motion poster. Also, Alia and Varun showed their excitement with their tweets. "I hear the 1st ever love franchise is in the air! @dharmamovies @karanjohar @aliaa08 is that for real?? [sic]" Varun had tweeted. Alia replied: "The "dulhania" is on the move!! Is this true though?? [sic]"
In fact, in the recent interview of Alia with PTI, she talked about getting back together with the team of "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania." "It's great to be back with the whole team. There's not only Varun but also our director Shashank, the director of photography is the same, the sound designer is the same... It's like working with family," she told PTI.

Prachi Desai's sister Esha Desai forced to quit film by husband; leaves 'Missing on a Weekend' shoot midway

Actress Prachi Desai's sister Esha Desai was set to make her Bollywood debut with Abhishek Jawakar's "Missing on a Weekend," but her dreams could not turn into reality owing to her husband and in-laws.
Prachi reportedly suggested Abhishek to cast Esha in his upcoming movie and being a close friend of the actress, the director roped in the newcomer. However, Esha backed out from the project after shooting the first schedule, leaving the filmmaker in limbo.
Esha had completed the first leg of shooting for "Missing on a Weekend" in Goa, but just before the start of the second schedule in Gorai, Prachi's sister informed Abhishek that she cannot continue shooting as her husband and in-laws did not approve of her being an actress.
"However, two days before we kicked off the second schedule, Esha called me to inform that she couldn't shoot anymore. She said she was facing troubles in her marriage and that her in-laws were unhappy about her working in a film. I couldn't bring up the contract or money because she was a friend. It was extremely stressful," Abhishek told Mumbai Mirror.
Nevertheless, the director was lucky enough to find a replacement in Khushboo Kamal, with whom he shot the Gorai schedule and also reshot the first schedule. "We wrapped up the Gorao schedule and went back to Goa in February to re-shoot at Vagator, Calangute beaches among other locations. We lost a lot of money since we had to bring back the crew of 140 people," he added.
The director, who is also the co-producer of "Missing on a Weekend," further said that he has no regrets for the change in the cast as the reshot portions turned out to be better than the first shoot.

'Housefull 3' movie review by audience: Live update

Directors Sajid-Farhad's Bollywood movie "Housefull 3," starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon, has received mixed reviews from audience.
"Housefull 3" is a light-hearted romantic comedy film, which is the third instalment in the "Housefull" film series. The movie revolves around the story of a father who doesn't want his three daughters to get married. How three men try to convince him and marry his daughters forms the crux of the movie.
Audience say there is nothing big to boast about the story of "Housefull 3," which has been brought to screens a few times in the past. But the director duo has tried to make comedy scenes and WhatsApp jokes. The first half of the film keeps viewers engaged with some comedy scenes, but the second half has a slow-paced narration, which appears boring. However, the climax is good and wraps up the things well.
The viewers say Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon have delivered good performances in "Housefull 3." Their comedy timing and sparkling chemistry are the highlights of the movie. Boman Irani, Johnny Lever, Jackie Shroff and Chunkey Pandey have done justice to their roles and their performances are among the assets of the film.
"Housefull 3" has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and it has rich production elements. Music, picturisation, punch dialogues, selection of beautiful locales and costumes are the attractions on the technical front, add the viewers.

Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra didn't audition to be the next Bond girl?

Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra were in the news as it was rumoured the two were competing to become the next Bond girl, but the recent buzz is that the divas have not auditioned for this character. Both the actresses are currently working on Hollywood projects and seem unstoppable.
According to a Bollywood Life report, Deepika and Priyanka auditioned for different roles, not for the Bond girl. "They auditioned for different roles. PC for one where she'd have played a crucial part in the film while DP would essay an Indian girl who only appears during flashbacks, as if in a cameo," the entertainment portal quoted a source as saying.
Given the kind of films both the actresses are working on in the West, they would have also fit in the role of the Bond girl. Earlier, theAsian Age had reported that the "Bajirao Mastani" actresses were competing for this role and now fans will be disappointed to learn that none of these hot ladies will be the next Bond girl.
"Both actresses have very strong teams there who are deftly managing their work and have been pitching them to various Hollywood studios. And they have also made it clear to their respective agents that they are not interested in doing two-bit roles," an insider told the Asian Age.
"Who wouldn't want to be the Bond girl? It's a role that's on everyone's wish list but only the chosen one gets it. Now it's entirely up to the makers," the source further added. However, they were not the only actresses being considered, there were other actors as well who were being thought of.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is busy shooting for her American TV series "Quantico," which has reached its second season. She will also be seen in her first Hollywood film, "Baywatch," in a negative role and will share screen space with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
On the other hand, Deepika will soon wrap up the shooting of her Hollywood debut, "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage." She will be seen alongside many international stars like Vin Diesel, Ruby Rose, Tony Jaa and Nina Dobrev.

Box office collection: Marathi film 'Sairat' beats 'Kapoor and Sons' and 'Neerja' lifetime record

Marathi film "Sairat" continues its phenomenal box office run in India. The love story, which has completed four weeks run, has shattered the records of Bollywood films "Kapoor and Sons" and "Neerja" in India.
"Sairat," directed by Nagraj Manjule, was released in limited screens compared to Sidharth Malhotra-Fawad Khan starrer "Kapoor and Sons" and Sonam Kapoor's "Neerja," which were released across India in several screens . But the limited screen count did not stop "Sairat" to earn more than Rs. 75 crore in its 31-day run. "Sairat" is now the fifth highest grosser of 2016 and the list includes Hollywood film "The Jungle Book."
The Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar starrer earned Rs. 75 crore in four weeks and adding the fifth-weekend earnings, the collection would go up to more than Rs. 76 crore. However, the official figures are not out yet.
The film has surpassed the lifetime figures of "Kapoor and Sons" (Rs. 73.29  crore) and "Neerja" (Rs. 75.61 crore). "Sairat" would have also shattered the collection of Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer "Baaghi," but we will have to wait for the official figures to compare the collections of both the films.
 Meanwhile, the film is creating records at the overseas box office as well. "Sairat" has become first Marathi film to get a theatrical release at the UAE-GCC box office, where it opened to housefull status.
"Sairat," directed by Manjule, is a love saga set in the backdrop of caste discrimination. The film, which features Rinku and Akash in the lead roles, has been received well by all and is setting new benchmarks at the box office for all the new releases.

Salman Khan dumps Mika Singh, brings Badshah on board for 'Sultan' song?

After Arijit Singh, now Salman Khan has reportedly dumped Mika Singh for a song of his upcoming film "Sultan." The recent buzz is that the superstar didn't like Mika's version of the song, thus he asked Badshah to come on board for the same.
It looks like Mika's luck is not with him nowadays. After Colors showed him the exit door from "Comedy Nights Live," Salman did the same with the singer and roped in his rival Badshah, Deccan Chronicle reported. It is said that Mika was the original singer of the track featured in the trailer, but Salman didn't like it.
"Mika and Salman have known each other for years now. It's not the first time that this has happened with Mika. Even during 'Kick,' Mika had sung 'Jumme Ki Raat Hai' and Salman had later re-recorded the song in his own voice. However, this time Salman has re-recorded the song with Mika's rival Badshah," a source told the leading daily.
Unlike Arijit, who posted a long apology letter to Salman on Facebook, Mika has remained mum on this issue. Salman has not only replaced Mika but it has also been reported that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan will lend his voice for the song, which was sung by Arijit originally.
Meanwhile, fans are curious to watch "Sultan" after seeing the trailer. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial features Salman and Anushka Sharma as wrestlers Sultan Ali Khan and Aarfa. The duo will be seen romancing as well as wrestling with each other in the flick.
Scheduled to be released on Eid, the sports drama has been filmed in Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi and Mumbai. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan's "Raees" was supposed to hit the screens along with "Sultan," but the makers of the SRK-starrer chose to avoid the clash at box office. Thus, the release date of "Raees" has been shifted to next year.

Irrfan Khan's 'Madaari' and Amitabh Bachchan's 'Te3n' will not clash at box office

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's "Te3n" will not clash with Irrfan Khan's "Madaari." The makers of "Madaari" avoided clashing with Big B's film just like how Shah Rukh Khan's "Raees" evaded Salman Khan's "Sultan."
Both the films were scheduled to be released on June 10, but now Irrfan-starrer will hit the screens on July 15. "#Madaari will now release on 15 July 2016, instead of the earlier announced date 10 June 2016. Nishikant Kamat directs the film, [sic]" trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted.
Nishikant and Irrfan also opened up about the shifting of the release date. "As the director of this film, I want complete justice to be done to the subject of the movie. Hence I am convinced with the producer's decision of postponing the release date," IANS quoted Nishikant as saying.
Irrfan, who has turned producer with the film, concurred with the decision: "I am in agreement with the decision of the makers to change the release date of Madaari". After "Piku" and "Talvar," Irrfan is set to entertain viewers with another brilliant performance in this upcoming film, which is based on a true story.
"Madaari" is based on a real-life incident which led to loss of lives and numerous injuries. The film deals with an event that took place at the under-construction overhead Metro bridge on the Andheri-Kurla Road in suburban Marol. Also featuring Jimmy Shergill in a pivotal role, the film explores a father-son relationship.
The film's trailer was released recently and has garnered immense appreciation from all quarters. On the other hand, the trailer of Amitabh-starrer "Te3n" has also impressed the audience. Sujoy Ghosh's film stars Big B, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan.

When Karishma Tanna's ex-boyfriend Upen Patel left an event mid-way

Upen Patel is known for his fitness and the actor has a very strict daily routine. He apparently leads a well-disciplined lifestyle and is very particular about his sleep timings.
Upen, who was recently in news for his break-up with Karishma Tanna, does not let anything affect his daily practice. It has been learnt that the actor-cum-model left an event half-way as it did not start on time and that would have affected his sleep timings.
"Upen was recently invited at a trial of a film held in the western suburbs. Onlookers were surprised to see the stylish actor arriving at the venue dot on time. After greeting the movie producers and exchanging pleasantries, the suave actor even posed happily for the shutterbugs.
"On realizing about the delay, he decided to make an early exit. On his way out, someone asked him where he was going and pat came the reply. 'To sleep. By the time this starts it will be past my bed time,' which was totally true. The show started very late, as most of the invitees turned up post 10," a source close to the actor said in a statement.
Upen had earlier announced his break-up with Karishna with a Twitter post. "Me and Karishma have both agreed to part ways. Thank you for all your love [sic]," Upen had tweeted earlier. Another tweet had read: "2 much has come 2light & shown its true colours. love is never easy and when a certain foundation is broken it's impossible 2move forward [sic]." He later deleted the tweets.

Website containing Sunny Leone's nude photos to be taken down?

Sunny Leone is controversy's favourite child. After being in the news for allegedly slapping a journalist, the actress is now making headlines courtesy nude photos of her on a website.
According to an Absolute News India report, an activist from the Hindu Jana Jagruti Samiti has lodged a complaint with Thane Police Commissioner Parambir Singh demanding that the website be shut down. It has been learnt that the officials had earlier requested the company to bring down the portal, but they are yet to respond.
This isn't new or even shocking given how the actress has often been pulled up for once being a part of the adult entertainment industry. For instance, journalist Bhupendra Chaubey in an interview had osed her questions that were considered way out of the line, and not very tasteful.
Some of the questions asked were: "How many people think of growing up to become a porn star?," "Bobby Khan, the director of his film 'Ek Paheli Leela,' said a lot of big stars didn't want to work with you," and "So you would want to work with Aamir Khan but Aamir wouldn't work with you. How does that reflect on you then?" 
She kept her calm through the interview and was poised. Working with Shah Rukh Khan in "Raees" and hobnobbing with Aamir and his family — Sunny and husband Daniel Weber were invited to an intimate dinner party — are being seen as fitting answers to the questions.
On the work front, Sunny's "One Night Stand" opened in theatres on May 6. Her upcoming films are "Beiimaan Love" and "Tina & Lolo."

Yo Yo Honey Singh becomes 'Most Stylish Singer' of Bollywood [VIDEO]

Yo Yo Honey Singh has been honoured with the "Most Stylish Singer" award at the recently-held HT most stylist award 2016 ceremony. The rapper is known for his peppy songs and his unique fashion sense.
Honey Singh is mostly liked by the youth and he is certainly one of the most popular Bollywood singers at present. After receiving the "Most Stylish Singer" award, he thanked the jury and his fans. He especially thanked his younger sister, calling her the best critic of his fashion and style.
Honey also did an impromptu performance as he rapped a few lines from the song "High Heels," incorporating the organiser's name in the song. Honey Singh was in the news recently due to one of his hit songs but for the wrong reasons.
During his appearance in "The Kapil Sharma Show," Honey had said that he had composed the song "Dheere Dheere" when he was suffering from bipolar disorder and his mother had helped him write the lyrics of the track. But the original song was composed long back by Nadeem-Shravan in the year 1990.
Honey's statement had irked the veteran composer, Nadeem Saif, who was later quoted as saying that he might be compelled to sue Honey for claiming the rights of the song. "I would like you to ask Honey Singh his date of birth, because I feel he must be in his nappies when I composed this song. I am surprised at the audacity of baby Yo Yo to make such baseless claim on national television," Nadeem had told SKJ Bollywood News earlier.
"I have refrained from suing these amateurs only because this song was dedicated to our beloved Gulshanji. But if push comes to shove, I think I may have to take this to the legal system," he had added. Check the video of Honey Singh receiving the award below:

'Veerappan' movie review roundup: Here is what critics have to say about Sandeep-starrer

Bollywood film critics gave Ram Gopal Varma's film "Veerappan" the thumbs up. "Veerappan," which is receiving positive reviews, is a biographical film based on the life of the notorious bandit Veerappan.
Praising the film, critics said that "Veerappan" is director Varma's best work recently. The film, which is based on Varma's Kannada docudrama "Killing Veerappan," features Sandeep Bharadwaj in the titular role, Usha Jadhav as Veerappan's wife Muthulakshmi and Sachiin J Joshi as Police Officer (Spy) based on N. K. Senthamarai Kannan.
Not only the director, the lead actors have also garnered praises from the film critics. Sandeep shines as Veerappan, but Usha and Sachiin cannot be ignored, critics said.
Read below what critics have said about Sandeep-starrer "Veerappan."
Bollywood Hungama critic said: "VEERAPPAN has violence that may seem a bit over the top for a certain segment of audience. With its unconventional and extremely well-narrated story line and Ram Gopal Varma's trademark filmmaking skills VEERAPPAN will most likely be patronized by a niche segment of the audience."
Meena Iyer of the Times of India said: "In all fairness, Sandeep brings Veerappan alive and the National Award winner Usha as Muthulakshmi is convincing. Though not in top form, RGV does redeem himself to some degree."
Asira Tarannum of Deccan Chronicle said: "RGV has told it taut, specially in the second half that is all about Operation Killing Veerappan. Sandeep's tranformation as Veerappan is commendable -- from his looks to his dialect. Here's an actor waiting to be explored. Usha too plays it easy. "

The trailer of Riteish Deshmukh's film "Banjo" will reportedly be released with "Housefull 3," which is scheduled to hit the screens on June 3. Riteish and Nargis Fakhri, who are also part of "Housefull 3," will be featured in "Banjo." 
According to a source, the makers of "Banjo" are planning to attach the trailer to Sajid-Farhad's film, but nothing has been confirmed yet, Bollywood Life reported. Riteish and Nargis' looks from "Banjo" have already been released. Narigis will be seen as a DJ, while Riteish will play a rockstar. Also, Abhishek Bachchan will reportedly lend his voice to the film.
On the other hand, Riteish and Nargis will share screen space with Akshay Kumar, Abhishek, Lisa Haydon and Jacqueline Fernandez in "Housefull 3." The team of the comedy flick is currently busy promoting their movie on reality shows and events.
After promoting on "The Kapil Sharma Show," the star cast of the film appeared on "Comedy Nights Bachao" to promote their film. But during the shoot of "Comedy Nights Bachao," Akshay lost his cool and pushed stand-up comedian Siddharth Jadhav hard after he took inappropriate digs at "Housefull 3" leading ladies Lisa Haydon and Jacqueline Fernandez.
The show started off well but soon the jokes became too offensive to take. Akshay and Riteish seemed uncomfortable when comedian Siddharth addressed Lisa as a "black African" and as someone who looks like a Kangaroo from Australia.
Meanwhile, fans are eagerly waiting for the third instalment of the franchise to hit the screens, considering the success of "Housefull" and "Housefull 2." The first two instalments of the trilogy were directed by Sajid Khan, but "Housefull 3" has been directed by Sajid-Farhad Samji. Only Akshay, Boman and Riteish have appeared in all three parts, and Jacqueline was in the second instalment of the series.

'Diya Aur Baati Hum:' Sandhya to get pregnant?

While "Diya Aur Baati Hum" is currently revolving around supernatural beliefs, the upcoming track will bring happiness to the Rathi family. According to reports, Sandhya Rathi (Deepika Singh) will be seen getting pregnant once again in the upcoming episodes.
However, she and Sooraj (Anas Rashid) will find it uncomfortable to announce the pregnancy to Bhabo, India Forums reported. Bhabo, on the other hand, will be seen teasing Dhaisa that she is pregnant, which will make it further difficult for Sandhya and Sooraj to reveal the news. Both Sandhya and Sooraj will also be seen in dilemma as to who will announce the news to Bhabo.
The piece of news will surely excite the viewers as the track will bring freshness to the storyline. Last time, when Sandhya's twins Ved an Vansh were born, viewers were treated with exciting twists and turns revolving around the babies.
Meanwhile, Deepika recently took some time off from her hectic schedule to celebrate her wedding anniversary with husband Rohit Raj Goyal. The much-in-love couple flew down to Phuket, Thailand, and the actress had also shared some pictures of the trip on her Instagram page. 
In other news, Kanika Maheshwari, who plays the role of Meenakshi bhabhi, was reportedly mulling over quitting the show. There were reports that Kanika, who has been associated with the show for five years now, wanted to take up other work and explore different opportunities. However, the actress is unable to do so because of the exclusive contract she had signed with the channel. Apparently, the actress was in talks with the production house and might take the exit route if the exclusivity clause was not nullified.

Salman Khan's 'Sultan' is again the most-awaited Bollywood movie of 2016: Survey

Salman Khan and Anushka SharmaSalman Khan's "Sultan" is still the most awaited Bollywood movie of 2016, according to a monthly survey conducted by Ormax Media. "Sultan" has remained in the top position in the list of most anticipated movies of 2016 for the last few months.
The survey, titled "Ormax Cinematix," has led to the compilation of a list of top five most-awaited Bollywood films of 2016 as of May 21. The survey is based on public opinion and includes the movies whose trailers are yet to be released. "Ormax Cinematix" is reportedly a survey on the audience's intent to watch a movie, taking four parameters into consideration – buzz, reach, appeal and interest.
The movie "Sultan" has topped the list, and is followed by Shah Rukh Khan's "Raees" and Aamir Khan's "Dangal." Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story," the biopic of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has secured the fourth slot and Akshay Kumar's "Rustom" is in the fifth position.
The research organisation had conducted similar surveys in the months of January andMarch, and "Sultan" had secured the top position in them as well. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, "Sultan" will present Salman as a wrestler from Haryana. The film also features Anushka Sharma, and the trailer is slated to be released on May 24. "Sultan" will hit the screens on Eid.
Shah Rukh's "Raees" was also supposed to be hit the screens on Eid but the makers of the movie have apparently postponed its release to Jan 2017. Aamir Khan-starrer "Dangal" is also based on wrestling, as it is a biopic of wrestler Mahavir Phogat. It will be released on Christmas this year.
MS Dhoni being one of the most popular Indian cricketers currently, his biopic is also much awaited and will hit the screens on Sept. 2 this year. Akshay's "Housefull 3" was also in the top 5 most anticipated Bollywood movies of 2016 in the last two surveys of Ormax Media, but its trailer was released recently. Now, Akshay's other upcoming movie, "Rustom," has featured in the list.
