Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu, who married Danish Olympic silver medallist Mathias Boe in March this year, is set to be his plus-one at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Taapsee will be rooting for her husband who is the coach to Indian badminton players Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. World Championships bronze medalists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will represent India at the 2024 Paris Olympics for the men's doubles competition. Satwik-Chirag, third in the badminton world rankings, were seeded and drawn alongside the Indonesian pair of Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Taapsee shared, “I don’t think I can go there in the capacity of an athlete. I first met Mathias when he had already come back from the Olympics after winning his medal (in 2012). And the next Olympics he took part in as an athlete, I didn’t want to attend because I get really stressed watching him play.” She added, “Now that he is a coach for our country’s team, and Satvik and Chirag are probably one of the best contenders to bring an Olympic medal, I feel more motivated and excited to attend this one and cheer for them. Also, it falls around my birthday (August 1), so I guess these are enough and more reasons for me to be at the Olympics.” Meanwhile, on the acting front, Taapsee can't tamp down on her excitement as she is all set to enthrall fans with upcoming projects 'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba' and 'Khel Khel Mein'. "It's been an overwhelming start to both my films with such warm reception to Phir Aayi Hasseen Dilruba's trailer and the first song drop of Khel Khel Mein both films are so diverse not just in their genre but also how my character is in both these films. It's just coincidental that they both are releasing soon after my birthday, so I'm hoping this shall be that big party of entertainment from my side to my audience for the month of August. And I'm praying to receive the gift of love from them," she told ANI. (With inputs from Agencies)
27 July,2024 09:30 AM IST | MumbaiBollywood fashionista Malaika Arora turned muse for fashion designer Siddartha Tytler as she walked the ramp for his collection at the FDCI India Couture Week 2024. Malaika upped the hotness quotient in a black and golden glittering lehenga as sashayed as the showstopper. For makeup, the ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ girl went all glam with glossy lips, golden eyeshadow, kohl-rimmed eyes, and contoured cheeks. Her long tresses were left open with a silver tiara as the hair accessory. She opted for silver bangles and matching 'jhumkas' to round off the look. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) Actor Rahul Khanna also walked the ramp for Tytler's collection wearing a black velvety sherwani. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) As per a statement, Siddartha's latest collection, Caligula's Feast, was inspired by the tyrannical Roman emperor, Caligula. The collection "embodies self-indulgence, extravagance, and opulence." As a designer, Tytler finds beauty and inspiration in the dark and macabre aspects of nature and humanity, and this collection is a testament to Caligula's madness and grandeur of a bygone era. "I don't believe in the ordinary. Sensuality, darkness and bold desire fuel my creativity. Enter 'Caligula's Feast', inspired by the worst Roman Emperor Caligula, showcasing a wild blend of self-indulgence, extravagance, and opulence, all drenched in richness and debauchery," explained Siddartha. His collection features jewel tones such as maroon, emerald, navy, and black, with highlights of gold and gunmetal embroidery and embellishments. It boasts the finest surfacing of crystals, sequins, rhinestones, applique, and fur, combined with layering, drapery, and volume to create an impression of luxury and royalty. The silhouettes include a wide range of lehengas, bandh galas, sherwanis, kurtas, suits, sarees, gowns, dresses, and corsets, along with a capsule of drapes and armour. Meanwhile, on the work front, Malaika has been the judge on reality shows like ‘India’s Best Dancer’, ‘MTV Supermodel of the Year’, and ‘India’s Got Talent’. She was last featured in the show ‘Moving In with Malaika’. On the other hand, Rahul made his Bollywood debut with Deepa Mehta’s ‘1947 Earth’ (1999) alongside Aamir Khan and Nandita Das. He has since been a part of projects like ‘Elaan’, ‘Raqeeb’, ‘Tahaan’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, and most recently, ‘Lost’. Rahul has also featured in the dystopian series ‘Leila’ starring Huma Qureshi in the lead. (With inputs from Agencies)
27 July,2024 08:22 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan reached filmmakers Farah Khan and Sajid Khan's Mumbai residence after their mother Menaka Irani, passed away. SRK and Gauri were accompanied by their daughter, Suhana Khan, and his manager Pooja Dadlani to pay last respects to the departed soul. After meeting the bereaved family, SRK, Gauri and Suhana came downstairs with Farah Khan as they exited. In the visuals captured by shutterbugs, Farah can be seen hugging SRK and Suhana. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Farah and Sajid's mom died on July 26. She was 79. The heartbreaking news came a few days after Farah revealed in an Instagram post that her mother had undergone 'multiple surgeries'. "This last month has been a revelation on how much i lov my mom Menka.. she s been the strongest, bravest person iv ever seen.. sense of humour intact even after multiple surgeries. Happy birthday mom! Today's a good day to come back home can't wait for you to get strong enough to start fighting with me again.. I love you," Farah wrote this on her mother's birthday recently. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) Earlier on Friday, several celebrities, including Rani Mukerji, Shilpa Shetty, Bhushan Kumar, and MC Stan, among others, visited Farah's house to mourn the demise of her mother. Shah Rukh and Farah have worked together on several films notably ‘Main Hoon Na’, ‘Om Shanti Om’, and ‘Happy New Year’. In an interview with Nova IVF Fertility, Farah revealed how SRK was her biggest support when she had her triplets. She shared, “The first time I went to the doctor I was so sure that I was pregnant, but I literally got my period in her office. So I used to be sobbing all the way back to the shoot. One day, in the middle of the day, I got a call from the doctor, and she said it’s not happened this time. We were shooting a comic scene, and Shah Rukh knew something was wrong because I was going to cry. So, he called for a break and took me into his van, where I sobbed for one hour.” However, when things worked out, Farah revealed that SRK was the first person to know after her mother. “I said, ‘I have to tell you something’. He looked at me and said, ‘Are you pregnant?’ We still had to finish Darde-e-Disco, and every time he’d remove his shirt I would throw up. He would keep a bucket next to me. He was very sweet, he ordered this lazy boy couch, instead of the director’s chair, so that I could lie down with a mic and shout at people,” she added.
27 July,2024 07:55 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentArre, aap toh Kal Ho Naa Ho [2003] jaisi film banate thhe!” This is all that filmmaker Nikkhil Advani heard from one of the members the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after he screened Vedaa for the body on June 25. There has been no formal response from the CBFC regarding the John Abraham and Sharvari-starrer since, except the communication in early July that it was being sent ahead to the Revising Committee. What exactly is the CBFC’s concern with the movie, which is eyeing an August 15 release? That’s the first question we ask the director when we get on a call with him. “I would tell you, but I have no idea. The norm is that the Examining Committee watches the film, sends us a list of objections or reservations, and then we discuss further. For instance, in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway [2023], they had an issue with the word ‘harami’ being used. We explained to them that the protagonist is from the outskirts of Kolkata, and is semi-educated. She is enraged and desperate. They understood our perspective. Neena Gupta’s character in the film was modelled on Sushma Swaraj; [through her] we had shown Swaraj’s speech in the Parliament. While we had paraphrased it, the board suggested it be kept verbatim because this speech was documented in public records. We incorporated that change. I have never had this experience where the CBFC has held something for a month, and I have no idea what the issue is,” says Advani, who expressed his disappointment in a lengthy post on Instagram on July 25. Nikkhil Advani The teaser of Vedaa indicates an undercurrent of caste issue, and a heavy dose of action. For now, Advani is focused on its July 29 screening for the Revising Committee. The filmmaker informs that the screening was initially scheduled for July 25, but was cancelled due to the heavy rains. Despite the hurdles, he doesn’t believe that it’s a tough time for filmmakers today. “I am doing my best work today. I am making Freedom at Midnight, Rocket Boys; I don’t think it’s the worst time to be a filmmaker.” Advani adds, “I will say, however, that I have never seen a time when a filmmaker hasn’t been able to talk to the CBFC about the changes. Every time we’ve come across a situation like this, we’ve sat across the table and discussed the recommendations. Earlier, a representative would be sent to my office to discuss the changes. But this time it feels like I have been ghosted.” Sharvari and John Abraham in a still from Nikkhil Advani’s Vedaa August 15 has two more Hindi releases in Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein. At the moment, it seems unlikely that Vedaa will meet its release date. “[A delay in release] cannot happen because it will lead to major losses for me and the studio. Right now, we are hoping that the Monday screening happens. Then we can negotiate the changes needed. Our promotional window is reduced. Vedaa is a potboiler set in current times. It releases in two weeks and our first trailer hasn’t come yet!” says the filmmaker. mid-day texted CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi, who didn’t respond till press time. However, a member of the Revising Committee, who was to watch the film on Thursday, on condition of anonymity, assured that Vedaa will be viewed on July 29. The insider added, “There was a city-wide red alert on Thursday, which is why we had to push the screening. The delay is only because of the backlog of other films; there is no ulterior motive. There are some objectionable bits in the film, they will be addressed by the Revising Committee. The film will meet its release date.”

He is expected to wrap up the rom-com soon.” A guest, invited to the do, tells us that Aamir and Reena are proud that Junaid didn’t seek his actor-dad’s help to make inroads into the industry. “He was certain that he wanted to debut on his own merit.

27 July,2024 06:55 AM IST | Mumbai | Mohar BasuFor the champions Kartik Aaryan has extended warm wishes to the Indian athletes who are participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Aaryan, who recently essayed the role of India’s first Paralympics gold medallist Murlikant Petkar in the biographical sports drama, Chandu Champion, took to Instagram, and shared a still from his movie that sees him holding onto a medal. “Wishing the best to the athletes representing our nation at the Paris Olympics 2024. Playing an athlete has been an incredible experience and honour. The feeling of holding the medal and seeing the Indian flag on top cannot be expressed in words. More strength to all you champions! Give [it] your best and make us proud,” he wrote as the competition kicked off yesterday. As many as 117 Indian athletes—including Neeraj Chopra (Javelin throw)— are set to compete for titles in Paris. The country bagged seven medals at the previous edition in Tokyo. One to look forward to Kay Kay Menon is all set to enthral the audience with his new role in the upcoming detective drama series, Shekhar Home. The makers unveiled the first look recently. The motion poster captures Menon in the avatar of a detective. “Piece it together and you’ll realise he is the only one who can solve all mysteries,” read a social media post on the project. Shekhar Home is produced by BBC Studios and directed by Rohan Sippy and Srijit Mukherjee. Menon was recently seen in The Railway Men. On cloud (number) nine? Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams is set to bring his So Happy It Hurts tour to India this December. Adams, 64, will begin his five-city tour from December 10 to 16 and cover cities like Shillong, Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. This will mark the singer’s sixth visit to India after his 1993-1994 tour, followed by multi-city gigs in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2018. “I’m incredibly excited to be coming back to India! There’s a unique connection I feel with the Indian audience,” he said in a press statement. “Your passion for music is inspiring, and I can’t wait to perform all your favourite songs—the old ones and some new ones too.” Celebrating the heroes On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas yesterday, Bollywood celebrities like Anupam Kher and Rakul Preet Singh paid tribute to the brave souls who sacrificed their lives for the country’s honour. Taking to social media, Kher said, “On the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, I congratulate the Indian Army. My deepest respects to the brave soldiers who were martyred, and their families. Jai Hind.” Singh paid tribute to the “brave souls who stood fearlessly for our country’s honour”. Celina Jaitly shared, “Echoes of bravery. Families remembering the Kargil heroes.” Another one to roll Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur reminisced about his directorial debut Masoom (1983), questioning whether filmmaking has lost its “innocence”. He expressed his desire to retain humility and emotional creativity as he embarks on the production of Masoom—The Next Generation. Kapur took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of actor Jugal Hansraj from his film, and wrote, “Masoom was my first film. I had not studied film, nor trained, nor assisted anyone. I had no experience. Yet, no one but my editors and my creative team asked me a single question. And so, Masoom was born of pure instinct, and [honest] story-telling. Films evolve as they take shape. They are not manufactured. They are created from the heart. Pray that I can find humility, and [be] creatively naive as I embark on [this new journey].” Bring on the laughs The trailer of the upcoming series, Dus June Kii Raat, was unveiled yesterday. Starring Tusshar Kapoor and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, the show is set against the backdrop of Raniganj, and follows the story of Panauti Bhagyesh, a man known for his bad luck. Even as Bhagyesh dreams of reopening his father’s theatre and restoring his family’s legacy, the residents of Raniganj avoid crossing paths with him. Kapoor says, “When I first read the script, I was intrigued by the character. It is a blend of comedy, drama, and suspense, promising a fun watch for audiences. I am stoked to be back with my favourite genre, comedy.” Voice where it matters Raising her voice on a prominent issue, actor Ayesha Takia lashed out at the management of the Bengaluru mall that denied a farmer entry. Takia, who has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, shared a video showing an elderly farmer, Fakirappa, being denied entry to the mall due to his traditional attire, a dhoti. “This is so upsetting. Does western attire have more respect and value? Do we blatantly disrespect and shun our own people for wearing clothing that belongs to us, to our very own people? In a diverse, cultural nation, deeply rooted in wonderful traditions, we discriminate against our very own. Shameful,” she wrote. After the July 16 incident, the mall was sealed.
27 July,2024 06:05 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamVikram Bhatt has largely built his career on horror films. This time, the director has offered Bloody Ishq, a supernatural thriller led by Avika Gor. He believes the latest Disney+ Hotstar movie blends multiple genres. “Imagine a film that combines the elements of thriller, suspense, and horror, like Kasoor [2001] and Raaz [2002] did. This time, we’re trying something new. Just as horror comedies blend humour with horror, we’ve blended thriller and horror to create a supernatural thriller,” shares the director. Vikram Bhatt Bloody Ishq, written by Mahesh Bhatt and Suhrita Das, revolves around Gor’s character, who has lost her memory after an accident. When she arrives on an island with her husband, she starts encountering strange occurrences in their home. The trailer evokes memories of Vikram’s 2002 hit, Raaz. Making a horror movie requires a fine balance between holding cards close to one’s chest and giving away just enough details to keep the audience intrigued. Asked what the biggest challenge of making this movie was, Vikram says, “The difficult task was to maintain [the intrigue] with the characters, as this film demands that you doubt everyone in the protagonist’s life. Sometimes, the script makes you like them; at other times, you doubt them. As a viewer, you are constantly being pushed from one end to the other, wondering who is right and who is wrong. That tightrope walk has been tough. Even one wrong dialogue or expression can give away something that you don’t want to reveal.”
27 July,2024 06:02 AM IST | Mumbai | Mohar BasuKriti Sanon bagged her first National Film Award for Best Actor last year for her performance in 'Mimi'. She made her acting debut in Bollywood in the year 2014 with the film 'Heropanti'. Even before she completed a decade in the industry, she bagged her first National award and is among the top stars of the industry. However, becoming an actor was not an easy choice for her as she faced resistance from her family. Her parents are both into academics- a CA father and the mother, a professor. Talking to Neha Dhupia on the show 'No Filter Neha' earlier this year, Kriti recalled how she convinced her parents to get on board for her dream of becoming an actor. She said, “When I started modelling, my dad was against it. He felt, ‘it would distract her, kya faida hai (what’s the use)? She is a studious kid’.” She continued, “I was very very nerdy and yet I wanted to be a model. But before you start it professionally, they make your parents sign a contract because you are still really young.” However, the actress also maintained how her father eased into the idea slowly with time. “My Dad eventually opened up to the idea when he used to see my ads on television. In fact, he would be the first one to call people in the room and be like ‘oh her ad is coming’.” Talking about how her mother initially reacted to her choice of becoming an actor, she revealed, "I think my mom was very concerned because I was a very shy kid, extremely shy. My first photoshoot, my first ramp show, I have come back crying. So they have both gone badly. My first ramp show, I messed up the choreography. Someone scolded me in front of 50 models. I came back crying. My photoshoot, I was extremely nervous and I could sense that I was really not doing a good job. And I sat in the auto and I came back crying. And I was like "Mom, I don't think I can do this". And her point was that you know, people in this industry are very thick-skinned. She used to give me examples of people like Priyanka Chopra, like look at how confident they are. You are pretty shy as a person and maybe you can't handle this, maybe it's not for you. And I think somewhere I have over time taught myself confidence. I had stage fright. I think they also probably didn't know that I could do it. So they did discourage me in the beginning". She further revealed how her modelling career acted as a stepping stone for her acting career and shared, “When I started doing the TV commercials, I realized that I like being in front of the camera, I had never ever acted before. I used to always be in the dance group, so I was acting but dramatics tha nahi kabhi (was never there). That’s when I realized that I started dreaming of becoming an actor. My parents started to realize that I was sort of thinking about it. I told them that I want to try for films and their point was you need to complete your B-Tech and get a degree. We are not letting you go until then.” What happened later is something we all know!

26 July,2024 09:13 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentKriti Sanon Birthday 2024: Throughout her career, she has impressed audiences with her diverse roles. The year 2024 was particularly notable for her, with two back-to-back hits: Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya alongside Shahid Kapoor, and Crew starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tabu. Meanwhile, fans are curious about her romantic life. In a recent interview, Kriti opened up about what she's looking for in an ideal partner. Read on to find out more. 'Crew' actress Kriti Sanon dishes on qualities an ideal boyfriend should have After scoring two back-to-back hits, Kriti Sanon sat down for a chat with Film Companion. During the discussion, she was questioned about her desire for a partner with a strong value system and various other qualities, as mentioned in a previous interview. Given her success, intelligence, beauty, and financial independence, the query arose whether it's feasible for her to find a man who meets all these criteria. The actress stated, “I don’t know. Does the guy have to match up to all that? I don’t know, I don’t think.” She continued, “I feel we put too much pressure to on I want this, this, this. What you want and what you need might also be different. I might feel I want someone like this who is like this, whose like that but what I might need actually might just be like simplistic thing, someone who is just real, who can make me laugh, I’ve a connect with, who I can talk to for hours, who respects me and my work and I think those things are also way more important. I don’t think someone needs to match up to me but to hold his own that is more important and to be secure absolutely and that’s very important.” About Crew 'Crew' is a story of three women and is touted as a laugh-riot, set against the backdrop of the struggling airline industry. However, their destinies lead to some unwarranted situations, and they get caught in a web of lies. In the film, Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti are essaying the roles of "badass" air hostesses. From stealing peanut boxes meant for flights to planning to earn a lot of money and raising the glam quotient, the trio has sought to grab eyeballs. Don’t miss their supremely elegant looks throughout the film.
