Arjun Rampal's The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon to CLASH with Ayushmann Khurrana's Anek on September 17, 2021

Over the last few years, the history behind the 1818 battle fought at Bhima Koregaon has intrigued not just history lovers but also the general public from all strata of society. A film based on this episode, titled The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon, is now ready and is all set to release this year in cinemas. A few days back, when most production houses locked the release dates of their mid-sized and biggies, the makers of this film also followed suit. The film is now all set to arrive in cinemas on September 17, 2021.

Arjun Rampal's The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon to CLASH with Ayushmann Khurrana's Anek on September 17, 2021

A trade source says, “Right now, there is very little hype and awareness about this film. But it can prove to be a surprise. It is based on an important chapter of Indian history which many are not aware about. A section of the audience is sure to watch this film in hordes. The makers have also planned to go for bulk bookings. So it’ll get healthy footfalls for the first few days after which the content will have to do the talking.”

The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon stars Arjun Rampal in the lead and he essays the role of Sidhnak Mahar, who, with the help of his army, bravely defeated the Peshwas in 1818. The other actors in this film include Digangana Suryavanshi, Govind Namdev, Milind Gunaji, Abhimanyu Singh, Krushna Abhishek and Yatin Karyekar. Sunny Leone also features in the film as a spy-cum-dancer. It is directed and produced by Ramesh Thete, an ex-IAS officer.

Interestingly, The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon will clash with Anek, which also releases on September 17. It stars Ayushmann Khurrana and is directed by Anubhav Sinha. It’s shooting is currently underway in the North East. Coincidentally, the last outing of Ayushmann Khurrana and Anubhav Sinha was Article 15 (2019), which like The Battle Of Bhima Koregaon, was also a caste-based film.

Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra to cheer LGBTQIA community at ‘Awadh Queer Pride Parade' in Lucknow

The recently launched trailer of ALTBalaji's latest show – 'The Married Woman' featuring Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra in the lead roles, has impressed the viewers, fraternity people critics alike for its progressive and path-breaking content.

Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra to cheer LGBTQIA community at ‘Awadh Queer Pride Parade' in Lucknow

Interestingly, compared to other shows of ALTBalaji, The Married Woman featuring central characters – Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra comes across as a very different show with an aspirational narrative revolving around women and their choices. Considering the show's narrative, the makers have recently received a special invitation from the organizers of Awadh Queer Pride that aims at equality, acceptance, and love.

On the auspicious occasion of the fifth Awadh Queer Pride Walk, the organizers have taken this opportunity to invite the lead cast of the web series – Monica and Ridhi, to participate in the Pride Event, interact with the community and attend the Pride Party.

While the famous Awadh Queer Pride Walk has been conducted every year since 2017, they are looking forward to the 5th Pride in a row happening in Lucknow on Sunday, 28th February 2021 at Lohia Park Amphitheatre, Lucknow. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the organizers have switched the event from Pride Walk to Pride Event, and therefore, this time, they are expecting a 500 plus crowd. They are also hosting a post pride queer party in Aligunj, Lucknow.

Ridhi Dogra says, “Over the years, talking openly about LGBTQIA community has often been considered a taboo. I believe that pride parades or events like this helps us to create a strong voice for the community in giving them enough acceptance, respect and love. The Married Woman as a show is a story about love and acceptance. It's told with a lot of grace and care. I hope the care we took to talk about individuality over conditioning lends itself towards harmony and awareness for the community as well. I am really excited to interact with people at Awadh Queer Pride and listen to their thought process and their hearts.”

In 2017, the City of Nawabs Lucknow walked its first Awadh Queer Pride Parade from Sikandarbagh crossing to the General Post Office Hazratganj. The 1.5 km walk has been organized by the city's LGBTQIA+ community, led by Darvesh Singh Yadvendra. It is also Uttar Pradesh's first queer pride parade. The Pride witnessed around 300 people, many pouring in from as far away as Mumbai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, and Jaipur.

'A Married Woman' is an urban relationship drama about women and their conditioning levied by society and her search to find herself. The show features Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra as the central characters and notable actors, including Imaad Shah, Ayesha Raza, Rahul Vohra, Divya Seth Shah, Nadira Babbar, and Suhaas Ahuja, among others.

Akshay Kumar bows out of Mudassar Aziz's next; Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor step in

Superstar Akshay Kumar is currently filming for Bachchan Pandey and has already begun putting a line-up for the next two years. His discipline and his attempt to finish 3-4 films in a year have helped him to do multiple projects annually. But since he’s one of the top stars, he gets inundated with scripts and hence, he has no choice but to let go of some of them.

Akshay Kumar bows out of Mudassar Aziz's next; Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor step in

One such project that he had to unfortunately opt out of is director Mudassar Aziz’s next. It is produced by Jackky and Vashu Bhagnani, who are also producing his May 28 theatrical release, Bellbottom. In November 2019, the superstar had signed this film, which as per reports, is a light-hearted entertainer, just like Mudassar’s recent works like Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016), Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (2018) and Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019). A source says, “Due to conflicting schedules, Akshay has decided to move out of this film. He has instead collaborated with Jackky on Mission Lion.” It’ll be directed by Jagan Shakti, who directed the 2019 super-hit flick, Mission Mangal.

With Akshay Kumar out of the film, the makers of the film have brought on board Rajkummar Rao. Also, Shraddha Kapoor has bagged the female lead part. Both were last seen in the 2018 sleeper hit, Stree and might also be seen in the film’s prequel, Munjha, and Stree sequel. Both the films would not be shot anytime soon and their fans can meanwhile enjoy their chemistry in Mudassar’s next, which is expected to go floors this year itself.

Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao’s immediate release is Roohi, which also belongs to the same universe as Stree and Munjha. Co-starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Sharma, the Hardik Mehta-horror comedy releases on March 11. In other words, it’s the film that’ll kickstart the post-lockdown phase of big films releasing in cinemas.

Hrithik Roshan summoned by the Mumbai Crime Branch to record statement in case against Kangana Ranaut

Hrithik Roshan has been summoned by the Mumbai Crime Branch to appear before them at 11 am on Saturday to record his statement in case he registered against actress Kangana Ranaut. The complaint was registered in 2016 with regard to an exchange of email between the two.

Hrithik Roshan summoned by the Mumbai Crime Branch to record statement in case against Kangana Ranaut

In 2016, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan had filed a complaint alleging that someone impersonating him was emailing Ranaut from bogus email id.However, Ranaut claimed that the said email d was given to her by Roshan and that they have been communicating through the same id till 2014. The emails were allegedly exchanged in 2013 and 2014.

Hrithik and Kangana had worked together in the 2010 film Kites and then in the 2013 film Krrish 3. In 2016, Roshan had sent a legal notice to Ranaut after she referred to him as a silly ex. But, Roshan denied having any kind of relationship with his Kites co-star. He also claimed that she had been sending him absurd emails. In 2016, Roshan's laptop and phone were taken by the Cyber cell for investigation.

During the initial probe, Ranaut's statement was recorded by the police who then concluded that the emails were allegedly sent from her id, but the actress denied having sent any email.

In December 2020, the case was transferred to Criminal Intelligence Unit(CIU) on a request made by Roshan's lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani.

Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah shares screenshots of receiving rape threats after posting a photo in lingerie

Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap has taken to her Instagram account to speak on sexual assault and the rape threats she has been receiving on the photo-sharing app after she posted a picture in lingerie!

Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah shares screenshots of receiving rape threats after posting a photo in lingerie

Speaking of receiving vile threats like she deserves to be assaulted and gangrape threats, she said the “past few weeks have been really hard on my mental health.” In her note, she added, “Ever since I posted a photo of me in lingerie, I have been getting the most vile, degrading and disgusting comments, I have never felt more frightened than I have in the past few weeks to the point where I considered deleting my Instagram. I have tried to ignore the harassment and shrug it off but the truth is that we need to speak about it because these kinds of comments contribute to the rape culture that affects all women in India (and the rest of the world) in one way or the other.”

“We seem to be a country that will hold candle marches for a woman after she’s been sexually assaulted but won’t protect a woman while she’s alive. And the truth is that women in India grow up being sexualized their whole lives,” she further said.

Aaliyah then alleged that she was “sexually assaulted as a minor by a middle-aged man.” She said, “I have grown up with these kinds of comments to the point where it culminated into me being sexually assaulted as a minor by a middle aged man. The double standard is that many of the people who have harassed me, along with many other women, are hypocrites. They love to pretend that they’re on a moral high ground buy in reality, they are the ones promoting rape culture that exists.”

Aaliyah had uploaded a video on her Youtube channel recently and spoke about online harassment and bullying. “The amount of backlash I got for it like people telling me I should be ashamed of being Indian and posting stuff like that. People were sending me rape threats. People were calling me a prostitute. People were DMing me and asking me what my rate was. People were sending me death threats,” she had said.

SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor to play the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji in a period drama?

Chhatrapati Shivaji evokes a different sentiment among Indians and Marathas, at large. For the longest time, people have been making efforts in putting together a project on the brave warrior, but none of it has gone on floors yet. Riteish Deshmukh has decided to bankroll a multi-lingual pan-India film on Shivaji that will star him in the lead. There were talks that Ali Abbas Zafar too is planning to mount a film with Salman Khan as Shivaji.

SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor to play the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji in a period drama? Now, we can inform you that Kabir Singh producer Ashwin Varde has also decided to jump on the bandwagon. A source shares, "Ashwin Varde has joined hands with Lyca Productions who are soon going to make their foray in Bollywood in a big way. They are discussing multiple co-production ventures with producers and one of them is a mammoth period saga based on the life and triumphs of Chhatrapati Shivaji."

They have also offered the film to a star, already. "Ashwin has approached Shahid Kapoor to star in the film. Shahid has loved the idea and if he says yes, this will be his second period saga after Padmaavat but unlike the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, he will play the titular role in this one. Shahid and Ashwin have worked together on Kabir Singh previously and they are now locking modalities before they sign the contract."

How To Watch Tom Holland's Cherry Streaming

Everything you need to know about how to watch a very different Tom Holland character streaming.

Tandav Controversy: Bail plea of Aparna Purohit rejected; Allahabad HC says applicant has acted irresponsibly

The Allahabad Court on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Aparna Purohit, head of the India Original, Amazon Prime Video on connection with an FIR that alleged that the makers of the web series Tandav streaming on Amazon Prime Video hurt the religious sentiments of a particular community.

Tandav Controversy: Bail plea of Aparna Purohit rejected ; Allahabad HC says applicant has acted irresponsibly

The anticipatory bail plea by Purohit was filed in connection with a case lodged in Greater Noida against her and six others under IPC provisions relating to promoting enmity between different groups and intending to outrage religious feelings among others.

On Thursday, while rejecting the application of Purohit, Justice Siddharth said, "On the one hand, the sentiments of majority community have been hurt by display of the characters of their faith in a disrespectful manner and on the other hand, an attempt has been made to widen the gap between the higher castes and the scheduled castes when the object of the state is to bridge the gap between the different castes and communities and make the country a united force socially, communally and politically.”

Referring to the scene in the series which caused a furore, the court observed, "The scenes in dispute are likely to cause disturbance and threats to public order. The reference to Hindu Gods and Goddesses in the scenes in dispute in berating light cannot be justified.”

It said that the disclaimer about the show being fictional “cannot be considered to be a ground for absolving the applicant of permitting the streaming of an objectionable movie online”.

On the title of the show, the court said, “The use of the word ‘Tandav’ as the name of the movie can be offensive to the majority of the people of this country since this word is associated with a particular act assigned to Lord Shiva who is considered to be creator, conservator and destroyer of the mankind all together.”

“The reference to Hindu Gods and Goddesses in the scenes in dispute in berating light cannot be justified. The advice of Sage Narad to Lord Shiva to make some inflammatory tweet on the Twitter like all the students of the campus becoming traitors and raising slogans of freedom clearly alludes to the incidents which took place in Jawaharlal Nehru University and therefore, it can be considered to be a message of hate advanced through the movie,” it said.

The court also took notice of films in the past “which have used the name of Hindu Gods and Goddesses and shown them in disrespectful manner”. It listed films such as Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Satyam Shivam Sundram, P.K. and Oh My God and also said that“efforts have been made to subvert the image of historical and mythological personalities (Padmavati)”.

“Western filmmakers have refrained from ridiculing Lord Jesus or the Prophet but Hindi filmmakers have done this repeatedly and still doing this most unabashedly with the Hindu Gods and Goddesses,” the court further observed.

Rejecting Purohit bail plea, the court reasoned, "The fact remains that the applicant had not been vigilant and has acted irresponsibly making her open to criminal prosecution in permitting screening of a movie which is against the fundamental rights of the majority of citizens of this country and therefore, her fundamental right of life and liberty cannot be protected by grant of anticipatory bail to her in the exercise of discretionary powers of this court.”

The court also said Purohit was granted interim protection from arrest on February 11 by the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court, “but she was not cooperating with the investigation”.

“This conduct of the applicant shows that she has scant respect for the law of the land and her conduct further disentitles her to any relief from this court, since co-operation with investigation is a necessary condition for grant of anticipatory bail,” it said.

Since Salman was coming to the studio, the team planned the puja on the same day and also invited Katrina for the same. Maneesh and Emraan Hashmi too was a part of this puja.”

The source adds, “On its 50th year, YRF is rolling out the biggest films being made in Bollywood or the Indian film industry today. Tiger 3 is being mounted on a scale that has not been seen before and so is Pathan. It is going to be an incredible visual and entertaining extravaganza for audiences when these films release in theatres. The energy was palpable during the puja. All the cast members were thrilled to be taking the story forward of the Tiger franchise. They spent a good one hour with each other before Salman went to shoot for Pathan.”

Earlier to Pathan, Salman shot for his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma’s film Antim, again because of his commitment to the family.

“When it comes to his own films, he won’t shoot until it’s safe to do so,” says the source, adding that the Covid rules are being very strictly applied on the sets of Pathan. And that includes no visitors.

Rhea Kapoor, Guneet Monga and Tahira Kashyap to host the special screening of The Married Woman

Rhea Kapoor, Guneet Monga and Tahira Kashyap to host the special screening of The Married Woman

Not to forget that Ekta Kapoor, Guneet Monga, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, and Ruchika Kapoor have recently launched an initiative called Indian Women Rising – A Cinema Collective in January this year, paving the way for women directors to flourish and come forward. Therefore bring out stories, 'of, by & for women!'

Since The Married Woman comes across as a very different show with an aspirational narrative revolving around women and their choices, Rhea Kapoor, Guneet Monga, and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana mutually wished to come together to host a special screening of the show. A show that talks about discovering oneself amidst societal conditioning have definitely touched the right strings across the power women trio. They came together to showcase their solidarity and support to Ekta Kapoor, for the piece of art based on renowned author Manju Kapur's book A Married Woman.

It's learnt that Ekta Kapoor is quite excited about The Married Woman and wants everyone to watch the show, especially the female populace.

The Married Woman is an urban relationship drama about women and their conditioning levied by society and her search to find herself. The show features Ridhi Dogra and Monica Dogra as the central characters and notable actors, including Imaad Shah, Ayesha Raza, Rahul Vohra, Divya Seth Shah, Nadira Babbar, and Suhaas Ahuja, among others. The show premieres on March 8, 2021.

Dil Bechara star Sanjana Sanghi to headline horror-comedy Stree's prequel titled Munjha 

Actress Sanjana Sanghi finally is finding her footing in the industry. After much delay, her film Dil Bechara premiered on OTT which starred late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She has already begun shooting her next OM - The Battle Within and has signed her third lead role already! Sanjana Sanghi has been reportedly signed for the prequel of horror-comedy Stree which will be titled Munjha.

Dil Bechara star Sanjana Sanghi to headline horror-comedy Stree's prequel titled Munjha 

According to a tabloid, producer Dinesh Vijan began to build a horror-comedy universe starting with 2017 Stree starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao followed by 2011's Roohi with Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, and Varun Sharma, and 2022's Bhediya with Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

Adding to that is Munjha starring Sanjana Sanghi. This will be a prequel to Stree and the last standalone film in the horror-comedy universe. The plan is to establish characters in such a way that they will cross paths with each other at some point very similar to Rohit Shetty's cop universe with Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi.

Apparently, this part was offered to Alia Bhatt first but the report states she was keen on doing multi-heroine film yet. Stree's director Amar Kaushik, who is directing Bhediya, will serve as creative producer whereas Munjha will mark the directorial debut of Sriram Raghavan's assistant Yogesh Chandekar. The film is reportedly set to go on floors this year!
