25 April,2024 08:14 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentActor-rapper Chaitnya Sharma, known by his stage name SlowCheeta, released the music video for his latest track titled ‘Kar De Kaa?’ on Thursday. The track also features Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and SlowCheeta’s actor-wife, Shweta Tripathi Sharma. The song is one of the five tracks from his EP 'Scene Main Bawaal'. The seven-minute-long music video, marking the reunion of Ranveer and SlowCheeta after ‘Gully Boy’, tells the story of India’s underground rap scene, complete with its highs and lows. Interestingly, ‘Kar De Kaa?’ has a backstory related to the recently released film ‘Maidaan’. Speaking about the inspiration behind the track and its music video, SlowCheeta said: "I was shooting for my new movie, 'Maidaan', and one of the best players on the team was an incredible 19-year-old Amandeep from Himachal Pradesh." The actor-rapper continued: "He is a supremely talented footballer with a quirky habit of asking, ‘PK bhai, kar de kaa? Maar de goal?’ before shooting a free kick. And then, he would actually smash that free kick and score a goal! I thought that was so cool, that it needed to be in a song. So, I wrote the chorus, and that was that." SlowCheeta revealed that the track’s music video is almost like a short film about what goes on behind the camera lens in the Indian rap scene. "I believe the interesting format of the music video, interspersed with BTS footage, gave it a very authentic and entertaining tone. We had the most amazing time shooting with superstar and powerhouse Ranveer Singh, around whom I am always star-struck! This has been one of my dream projects, and with his support, this dream has come true," he added. Ranveer said: "My love for music is well known. Hip-hop and rap have always interested me and have been a significant part of my life. I’ve tried to integrate it into my work, especially with these young talents we have in the country. I’ve always had an eye on Cheeta’s music since we collaborated for Gully Boy where I relived my passion on-screen as Murad." "His work reflects authenticity, which I have always admired. He is multitalented. I have been seeing his work since his Virat Kohli rap. He and I have had a wonderful journey based on mutual love. It’s heartening to see him spread his wings as a creative multi-hyphenate," he added. The music video of 'Kar De Kaa?', released under the label of IncInk Records, is available to stream on YouTube.

25 April,2024 07:40 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSThe long wait to watch Fardeen Khan back on screen is almost over. The actor, who has entertained audiences with films like 'No Entry' and 'Heyy Babyy', is returning to acting after almost 12-13 years.

In a recent interview with ANI, Fardeen opened up about his comeback, saying he feels like a "newcomer". "I am quite excited but extremely nervous as well. A lot has changed in these 12 years...The level of films has changed. The way people consume cinema has changed... Today, there's completely a new generation so I feel like a newcomer.

I am really thankful to the audience have trusted me," he said. He last appeared on the big screen in Dulha Mil Gaya.

At the trailer launch of the show in the national capital recently, Fardeen said that his onscreen character is a "true romantic."

He was a true romantic. I got a thing or two from him." He also shared how Bhansali allows actors to "bring depth to the roles."

At the age I am, to come back to the screen, you come with a certain amount of life experience, and wisdom and you know you can you can contribute to the layers that Sanjay writes into all his characters. His characters are very intricate and very complex. There's nobody like him who writes characters. He goes across the spectrum and emotions, and he has this intuitive understanding of it. It's daunting to work with him, but at the same time, when you see it all together, it just all makes sense. I'm extremely grateful for this chance and so happy to be here."

25 April,2024 07:28 PM IST | Mumbai | ANIVeteran Bollywood actor Govinda, who joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena in March, shared a photo with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Instagram. Govinda was seen wearing a pink jacket with a white kurta and pajama as he stood alongside Shah. The actor wrote in the caption, “It was an honor meeting our honorable Minister of Home Affairs of India, respected Amit Shah ji, personally.” Govinda has acted in over 120 films since his debut in 1986. In 2004, he successfully contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket, defeating veteran BJP leader Ram Naik. However, he later resigned from the Congress party. In an earlier interview, Govinda said that the clean aura of Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena inspired him to join that party, adding that the country has made significant progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking to ANI, Govinda said, "The clean aura (of Shiv Sena) inspired me. We have seen the same level of progress here (in Maharashtra) in the last 2 years, as we have seen in the country in the last 10 years. We will focus on the beautification of the state and the growth of art and culture." Welcoming his entry into the party, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that "Govinda's administrative experience earlier will prove useful to the party". On the film front, Govinda was last seen in 'Rangeela Raja' released in 2019. The comedy film was directed by Sikander Bharti and written and produced by Pahlaj Nihalani. The film courted controversy after the Central Board of Film Certification's (CBFC) suggestion to make 20-odd cuts. Nihalani challenged the decision by filing a plea with the Bombay High Court. He claimed that the cuts suggested for his film were illogical and meaningless. "There is no vulgarity, no double meaning dialogues. Still, I've been asked to delete a massive number of dialogues and scenes," he said. With 'Rangeela Raja', Nihalani reunited with Govinda after 25 years. They have earlier worked together in films like 'Ilzaam', 'Shola Aur Shabnam' and 'Aankhen'. The film also featured Shakti Kapoor, Digangana Suryavanshi, Mishika Chourasia, and Anupama Agnihotri.
