1.It's going to be Sushant Singh Rajput vs Arjun Kapoor vs Kartik Aaryan at the box office!
Not one or two, but three films are releasing on March 1 now, and all of a sudden, the weekend seems overcrowded. Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra-starrer Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar which was supposed to hit screens last year, got postponed and will release in the first week of March. Along with that, there’s Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon’s first film together Luka Chuppi and now, even Sonchiriya toplined by Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar have picked the same date. At a time when actors are busy avoiding clashes to ensure good opening for their films, here we have a three-way clash between three Gen-Y stars. We wonder if this was a conscious move or the makers of each film consider the others as weak wickets! Only time and the box office numbers will tell...
2.Anil Kapoor-Ajay Devgn’s funny banter at Total Dhamaal trailer launch will crack you up
Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgn have known each other for the longest time and share a friendly bond. When the two actors were brought on board for Total Dhamaal, nothing less than fireworks were expected. While AK is known for his trademark witty one-liners, Ajay is famous for his silent and wicked humour. So at their film’s trailer launch, both of them left the media in splits. When someone asked a question regarding the Rs 50 crore-treasure hunt that the adventure comedy revolved around, Anil laughed, “Ajay should know better. I have heard he charges Rs 50 crore per film now.” To which, the Raid star responded, “I don’t count zeroes.”
Later, when Anil was quizzed about getting the Gujarati twang correct, Ajay interrupted and said, “Shuru shuru mein inhone Punjabi mein start kar diya tha. Towards the end, it slowly became Gujarati.” AK smiled, “Ajay has watched the film and he asked me to come and re-dub for it in a few scenes.” The fun banter between the two stars cracked everyone up.
3.Sonu Sood gears up to spread the fitness mantra
Sonu Sood, who is known for his obsession with staying fit, is gearing up to spread the fitness mantra across the country, especially smaller cities and towns. Last year, the Simmba baddie was named as the brand ambassador of the Fit India Movement, a Government of India initiative for inspiring citizens to become healthier.
Sonu, who, a few years ago, had set up a gym in his hometown Moga in Punjab for the locals, is set to start three outlets in Ludhiana, Lucknow and
Ahmeadabad in the next two months. “The membership charges will be nominal, so that it’s affordable by the people of these cities,” says a source,
adding that Sonu’s plan is to make the high-end equipment available to everyone. “Gyms with the latest high-end equipment charge high memberships. But Sonu wants to make it available for the maximum people. So, it’s a win-win situation for them.”
Moreover, the actor himself will be visiting these gyms from time to time, to work out with the locals and also guide them with tips on nutrition, gymming and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
On his part, Sonu maintains, “The idea is that gyms with modern, high-tech equipment is made available for people irrespective of which strata of society they come from. A healthy body and mind helps keep illnesses at bay. And why should this be limited only to people who can afford expensive equipment? I think everyone should have access to means of staying fit and healthy. It’s important for every city and town to have something like this and we need more individuals to come
forward and participate in the initiative to take the message of a healthy body and mind to every citizen of the country.”
4.Sanjay Dutt to resume Panipat shoot this week
Sanjay Dutt, who plays the Afghan king, Ahmad Shah Abdali in Ashutosh Gowariker-helmed Panipat with Arjun Kapoor, will resume shooting for the period action drama later this week. According to our source, “By the end of this week, Sanju will begin the second schedule, in Jaipur. He’s sporting a bald look for this film and is slated to wrap it by the end of March.”
Some time ago, Sanju also underwent a look test for another period action thriller, Karan Malhotra’s Shamshera, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor. “While Baba has shot for the initial portion in Mumbai, he will resume his portion post Panipat. He has to grow his hair after Ashu’s film, as he sports a different look in Shamshera.”
5.Karan Johar apologises to Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul for the controversial episode
Karan Johar has finally broken his silence on the controversial episode of his show, Koffee With Karan with cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. The two youngsters were called out for their misogynistic comments and faced a ban by BCCI for a couple of One Day International matches against Australia. While both the players have apologised since then, Karan had refrained from commenting on it. Now, in an interview to a news channel, the filmmaker-host said, “I feel responsible because it was my show, my platform. I invited them as guests and the ramification and repercussions of the show are my responsibility. I have had so many sleepless nights just considering how I can undo this image.
It has now gone into a zone that is beyond my control.” He added that he regrets what happened to them (because of what they said). When asked if cricketers are off his list, he said, “I think I am off their list.”
6.Arjun Kapoor moves his gym to Karjat, here's why
Arjun Kapoor has been hitting the gym regularly for his next film, Panipat. He will be seen as Sadashiv Rao Bhau, the patriotic Maratha warrior, who fought valiantly against the invading forces of Ahmad Shah Abdali, King of Afghanistan. He needs to look like a warrior for the part. In order to achieve the required look, he has been pumping iron every day. The Namaste England actor has to stay in Karjat for the entire schedule of the period drama, which is based on the Third Battle of Panipat (1761) and has many hardcore action sequences. So, he decided to move his gym to the sets.
“He discussed this with his director, Ashutosh Gowariker. The filmmaker allotted space on the premise in Karjat to build a workout arena. All the equipment from Arjun’s personal gym was shifted there. His trainer, too, has been visiting him regularly. The star wants to attain the required look by March. He has been giving his followers a peek into his intense training sessions through his social media handles,” says a source from the sets.
7.Pooja Bedi's daughter Alaia Furniturewalla’s tribute to Marilyn Monroe
Pooja Bedi’s daughter Alaia F is gearing up for her big screen debut with Saif Ali Khan in Nitin Kakkar’s (Filmistan) family comedy, Jawaani Jaaneman. Not many know that the young girl, who’s prepping for her maiden film venture, is also a talented painter.
Alaia’s recent artwork on Marilyn Monroe is proof of her skills with the brush. We hear that the girl has not only learnt visual arts as a higher-level subject and but also studied studio art at Oxford University, scoring A Plus grade for the craft.
Even as a string of newcomers are foraying into Bollywood, many are placing their bets on Alaia, who is quite a sensation on social media, if her pictures and posts are any indication.
