SCOOP: Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali to undergo a title change

Seven years after their blockbuster, Kick, Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala are reuniting on the comedy, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, directed by Farhad Samji. The film features Pooja Hegde as the female lead with Aayush Sharma and Zaheer Iqbal in key roles. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that Salman, Sajid and Farhad are in discussions to change the title of the film.

"They want to change the title from Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and rename it. They are contemplating on several titles and a new one will be locked very soon," a trade source told Bollywood Hungama. "The real reason to change the title is to avoid any sort of controversy around the film's release. Both Salman and Sajid respect all religions, however, didn't want anyone to misconstrue their title Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali as something that makes fun of two festivals. Hence, the hunt is now on for a fresh title." 

Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali tells the story of a family that believes in the oneness of God. Apparently the source for the plot is Salman Khan’s own family. “His father is Muslim. His mother is Hindu. Helen Aunty is a Catholic. Salman’s family is a living example of communal amity. The film’s plot will be similar. It will portray the ups and downs in a family which celebrates both Eid and Diwali with equal fervour. It will be Salman’s homage to the enduring spirit of oneness and brotherhood, a counterpoint to the currently vitiated atmosphere in the country. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali will take the cinematic experience back to the days of films like Yash Chopra’s Dharmputra and Dhool Ka Phool. It addresses the issue of Hindu-Muslim amity” says the source.

The much awaited film is slated to go on floors around the month of September this year, once Salman Khan is done with his on-going assignment, Yash Raj Film production, Tiger 3, with Maneesh Sharma as the director. In other news, his next film, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, is all confirmed for an Eid 2021 opening in cinema halls as also the digital world on pay per view format. The trailer as well as the first song, ‘Seeti Maar’, has got good viewership on YouTube.

Right after Radhe, he will bring on the Mahesh Manjrekar film, Antim: The Final Truth, which stars him as a Sikh Cop and Aayush as a gangster.

John Abraham to hand over his social media accounts to NGOs to help connect people with COVID-19 resources

The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic has badly hit India. With the country reporting nearly four lakh daily cases, the healthcare system has been overburdened and facing a massive shortage of oxygen cylinders, beds and medicines. People have been turning to social media and using its powers and reach to seek help. Amid this, actor-producer John Abraham has decided to let NGOs helping out on the field take over his social media handle to reach a wider audience. The actor has 3.2 million followers on Twitter and 8.8 million on Instagram. 

On Friday, John took to his social media handle and shared a note which read, “As a country we are experiencing a very grim situation. With each passing minute, there are more and more people who are unable to procure oxygen, an ICU bed, a vaccine and sometimes even food. However, these trying times have also brought people together, to support, to make a difference and attend to needs.”

“Starting today, I will be handing over my social media accounts to NGOs we have partnered with across the country and all content posted on my handles will be exclusively to help connect those affected with the resources they require. It is time to extend ourselves to humanity and take measures to overcome this crisis. Anything and everything to save lives and win this battle together,” he added.

"It is being considered," Nikkhil Advani confirms Bellbottom’s direct-to-OTT

The biggies that were patiently awaiting their chance in movie theatres have one by one by one decided to shift loyalties to the digital platform. The latest on that front is director Ranjit Tiwari's period thriller Bellbottom featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead. The producers Nikkil Advani and Pooja Entertainment had categorically denied any plans to opt for the digital option. And the film was poised for a theatrical release.

But now seeing the way the Covid crisis is heading, chances of Bellbottom keeping its 28 May release date in movie theatres seems impossible. The film is now being sold to Disney+ Hotstar for an early digital premiere. Confirming this development, producer Nikkil Advani says, “I believe it is being considered. But the final monetizing lies with Pooja Entertainment.”

Interestingly this is Disney-Hotstar’s second premium acquisition featuring Akshay Kumar. Laxmii which was acquired at an astronomical amount had a disastrous premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on November 2020.

Same-sex marriage called off in Ekta Kapoor’s series His Storry

As per plans, the gay couple in the new series His Storyy played by Satyadeep Mishra and Mrinal Dutt were supposed to get married at the end of Season 1 which started streaming this week. The marriage was called off. And here is why: the producers Alt-Balaji and DING got cold feet about showing a same-sex marriage.

One of the actors tells me, “Considering the way things are at the moment in our country I am relieved that marriage didn’t actually happen. The plan was to end season 1 with a Big Fat wedding showing Kunal (Satydeep Mishra) and Preet (Mrinal Dutt) tying the knot. But I think the producers chickened out, at least for this season.”

Apparently the marriage may happen in Season 2, provided the atmosphere of intolerance that prevails in the country, dims down. “Otherwise Season 2 may not happen at all,” informs the actor.

His Storyy is the coming-out story of Kunal (Satyadeep Mishra) happily married to Sakshi (Priyamani) for twenty years when Kunal comes out gay with a food blogger Preet (Mrinal Dutt).

Praise has been conferred on the series for its tasteful aesthetic presentation of a sensitive subject. It’s a pity that the makers had to pull back at the last minute leaving the same-sex couple’s relationship without the marital culmination that it deserves.

Covid has played havoc with human contact even between individuals who are so close to one another as to be considered inseparable.

Out of the 4 songs in Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai, 2 are sung by Iulia Vantur

Some 10 days back, the industry, trade and fans got a jolt as the makers of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai revealed that their film would be releasing in cinemas as well as on ZeePlex. Soon, the trailer was out and then the producers wasted no time in releasing their first song, ‘Seeti Maar’, on April 26. While a section of netizens felt that the original song, featuring Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde was better, many gave the recreated version thumbs up. The song, featuring Salman Khan and Disha Patani, also amassed more than 50 million views in 3 days which proved that the song has become a rage.

Today, the second song of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai, 'Dil De Diya', would release. It features Salman along with Jacqueline Fernandez. Meanwhile, the next song, ‘Zoom Zoom’, is expected to be out next week and it has now come to light that just like ‘Seeti Maar’, the third track of the film is also sung by Iulia Vantur. A source says, “There are 4 songs in the album. While ‘Seeti Maar’ is sung by Kamaal Khan and Iulia Vantur, ‘Zoom Zoom’ is crooned by Ash King and Iulia. So out of four songs in Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai, two songs are sung by Iulia.” 'Dil De Diya', meanwhile, has Kamaal Khan and Payal Dev as singers.

‘Zoom Zoom’ is composed by Sajid-Wajid. Sajid in an interview around 2 weeks back said that Iulia Vantur has improved a lot as a singer. He said that it is wrong to assume that she is being promoted by Salman Khan and that she puts in a lot of effort. He revealed that earlier, they had to work with her for 6-7 hours to correct each note. But for the ‘Zoom Zoom’ track, she managed to record the song in just 30 minutes.

Advance booking for Salman Khan starrer Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai begins in the UAE

Salman Khan had given his word to the theatre owners of India that his upcoming film Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai will be a theatrical release. With the current scenario, it looks difficult for the audience to head to the theatres to watch the film, and hence, it will be getting a digital release simultaneously on ZeePlex. Starring Salman Khan and Disha Patani in lead roles, the movie has been in the news since its announcement for all the right reasons.

Sohail Khan took to his social media to announce that Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai’s advance bookings have begun in the UAE. With Salman Khan’s fans being across the globe, the movie’s worldwide release has been eagerly awaited by them. Sohail Khan wrote, “Salaam Middle East, advance booking for #Radhe is now open!

Back in February 2021, Tuan released his solo single 'One In A Million' in collaboration with Bangladeshi–American musician, electronic music producer, and DJ - Sanjoy. The song reached No. 1 on the iTunes chart in more than 20 countries within 24 hours since it released.

SCOOP: Akshay Kumar’s Bellbottom to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar; sold for a whopping amount?

Last year, when the Coronavirus pandemic began to spread its wings across the country, a large number of Bollywood films decided to skip theatrical release. With theatres being asked to shut, many producers didn’t find it feasible to keep holding the film’s release. Hence, they decided to not add to the rising costs and took refuge on OTT. But as time passed, the cases began to reduce and cinemas also began to open and even record good occupancy. As a result, a lot of filmmakers got the confidence to opt for a theatrical release first. Sadly, a handful of films came in cinemas and then once again, the cases began to increase. Theatres once again downed shutters. And once again, the producers are getting tempted to get into the OTT bandwagon.

A week ago, the producers of Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai surprised one and all as they decided to release the Salman Khan-starrer on Eid in cinemas as well as on a pay-per-view platform, ZeePlex. And now, the trade is abuzz that the upcoming biggie, Bellbottom, starring Akshay Kumar, will premiere on digital. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Bellbottom will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar. The makers have agreed to the financials being offered. They feel it’s a practical decision since the theatres would not open anytime soon. The makers and Hotstar team are now deciding when to release this film.”

Bollywood Hungama in January 2021 was the first one to report that Bellbottom makers are in talks with Amazon Prime for a direct-to-digital release. The source adds, “The producers then were toying with the idea of going on OTT directly, and also wanted to gauge the market price of the film. But as cinemas were allowed 100% occupancy in February and more and more producers announced the release dates of their films, Bellbottom makers decided to follow suit.” If the second wave had not caused havoc, it would have released in cinemas on May 28, that is, two weeks after Radhe - Your Most Wanted Bhai.

The source further reveals, “Amazon Prime was still interested in buying the film. But it is being said that Disney+ Hotstar had a better offer and thus won the coveted deal.”

Bellbottom will be the second consecutive film of Akshay Kumar after Laxmii (2020) that will premiere on an OTT platform. Coincidentally, Laxmii was also premiered on Disney+ Hotstar. A trade expert says, “It is possible that Disney+ Hotstar paid a bomb for Bellbottom. Akshay Kumar is a crowd-puller and Bellbottom looks like a slick thriller. It’s sure to generate a lot of craze upon its release.”

Bellbottom also stars Vaani Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Huma S Qureshi and Adil Hussain. Directed by Ranjit M Tewari, it was one of the first Bollywood films to be shot amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

Sonakshi Sinha's next digital project Bulbul Tarang to be based on dowry

Sonakshi Sinha's digital debut Fallen is yet to release but the actress has already signed two more online projects. While one of them is a show titled Heera Mandi under Sanjay Leela Bhansali's banner, the other is a web film called Bulbul Tarang. Toilet - Ek Prem Katha fame director Shree Narayan Singh is set to direct it.

Only this bit of news was out: about Sonakshi signing Shree's next. But not many know what the film is about. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, "It's a social drama majorly in the satire zone that revolves around dowry and the horrific implications of the same. Sonakshi plays a carefree happy-go-lucky girl from a small town who sets out to bring a change and reform the social prejudices that exist in her town and community. It's a coming of age film and when Sonakshi was approached for the same, the actress loved the script and her role. The whole idea touched her heart and she immediately said yes to the same."

Sonakshi also has Bhuj - The Pride of India lined up for a digital release, and it needs to be seen if that would be her web debut (in case it releases before Fallen but it wasn't planned as a web project though). The source adds, "The modalities have been worked out. The team is waiting for the Covid restrictions to ease out a bit and then lock dates for the shoot. It will mostly be shot somewhere in UP."

SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor turns producer; debut project with Netflix's war trilogy based on Amish Tripathi's book?

Shahid Kapoor is one busy man. After Jersey and Raj and DK's next, Shahid was supposed to work on Shashank Khaitan's Yoddha but he walked out of the film at the last minute. He was also in talks for several other films, including the Hindi remake of Surarai Pottru, a Ram Madhvani film and the big budgeted Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial Karna. Now, we can tell you that although he's making his digital debut on Amazon Prime Video, he has inked a huge deal with Netflix as well.

A source informed Bollywood Hungama, "Shahid has been paid to the tune of over Rs. 70-80 crore for a trilogy that he's going to star in. It's a period mythological war saga that will be adapted from Amish Tripathi's novel. Not just that, this will also mark Shahid's foray into production."

He had been waiting to set up his own production house for some time. "Shahid was almost kick-starting his own banner with the Dingko Singh biopic but it fell apart. Now, Netflix and he have signed a mutual agreement on this project. It will most likely feature him and is going to be an ambitious period venture designed on the lines of a Baahubali but only for the web. This will also be another mythological project for him after Karna."

‘Here Are the Young Men’ to Avoid at All Costs

In the first few moments of writer/director Eoin Mackey’s “Here Are the Young Men,” a trio of high school boys behaving badly take a crowbar to the car of an authority figure.

The teacher with the trashed vehicle approaches one of them and asks, “Is this who you wanna be?” The film could have ended there, at that very moment, as it encapsulates everything this film has to say.

Instead, this is only the first of many, many rotten offenses made by the three leads, none of whom I grew to like over the course of 96-minutes.

We follow the awful shenanigans of the three young men, played by Dean-Charles Chapman, Finn Cole and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, who are rattled when they fail to step in and save a young girl from getting hit by a car.

Their guilt initially stifles them but not for long, as they proceed to act out in public, before things become truly unbearable for them. Nine minutes in, we get the title card and know we’re in for worse behavior.

This Irish drama, which takes place in Dublin of 2003, is based on the novel by Rob Doyle. I haven’t read it but suspect it’s better at getting into the mindset of its characters and developing their inner struggles. The film adaptation is redundant and thoroughly unappealing

This is a real slog of a movie, with the lone selling point also the lone bright spot in the entire film: the performance from Anya Taylor-Joy, though this isn’t one of her best performances. As good as she is here, this star-on-the-rise has shined far more elsewhere (even her supporting turn in the woefully uneven “The New Mutants” is a better performance).

The core trio wouldn’t be out of place in a Bret Easton Ellis novel, though this lacks the hypnotic pull and fascination of “The Rules of Attraction” (but not the debauchery). Chapman, who played one of the soldiers in “1917,” is clearly meant to be our protagonist but this doesn’t connect.

One of the young men fantasizes about appearing on a popular talk show, resulting in sequences that are obvious attempts to match the surreal grit of “The Tappy Tibbons Show” from “Requiem for a Dream” (2000).

These moments, taking place on “The Big Show,” are especially poor.

The soundtrack is good and there is a visually interesting moment where a sex scene is interrupted by a friend’s leering face appearing on a screen. Otherwise, the filmmaking isn’t especially dynamic (even the death of the child is poorly staged). The moments of visual flashiness don’t inject this with enough style to give it distinction.

The majority of “Here Are the Young Man” consists of our toxic trio doing drugs, getting into fights, urinating in public, committing vandalism, noisily snorting cocaine, yelling, swearing and committing attempted rape. Perhaps Mackey wanted to convey shades of “If…” or “The Basketball Diaries” in his take on the wreckage that male aggression leaves behind. Whatever the intention, it’s not as shocking as it simply tedious.

I suppose if you haven’t seen many movies or lack parental (or any guidance), then this could be a worthwhile cautionary tale. If this film convinces an impressionable teenager to neither commit murder or be indifferent to a young person about to be hit by a car, then good. Well done, “Here Are the Young Men”!

Otherwise, why bother?

Gal Gadot to star in and co-produce sci-fi romance movie based on Meet Me in Another Life novel

Actress Gal Gadot is reuniting with the producers of Wonder Woman, Charles Roven, and Richard Suckle, for an upcoming sci-fi romance movie based on Catriona Silvey’s debut novel, "Meet Me in Another Life".

According to Deadline, Gal Gadot and Jaron Varsano’s production label Pilot Wave and Atlas Entertainment have acquired the rights of the novel to develop into a feature film with Gadot as the headliner. “Catriona’s characters are beautifully explored and deeply complex – their reincarnations sometimes bordering on taboo – that the payoff of their self-discovery feels genuine and earned,” said Gadot and Varsano in a statement to Deadline. “We’re thrilled to partner with Chuck Roven and Richard Suckle to bring this story with many layers on the big screen.”

According to HarperCollins, the novel revolves around, "Thora and Santi who are strangers in a foreign city when a chance encounter intertwines their fates. At once, they recognize in each other a kindred spirit—someone who shares their insatiable curiosity, who is longing for more in life than the cards they’ve been dealt. Only days later, though, a tragic accident cuts their story short. But this is only one of the many connections they share. Like satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi are destined to meet again: as a teacher and brilliant student; a caretaker and dying patient; a cynic and believer. In alternating realities, they become friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemies. As blurred memories and strange patterns compound, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelation—they must discover the truth of their mysterious attachment before their many lives come to one, final end. By turns joyful, devastating, and quietly profound, Meet Me in Another Life is a spectacularly compelling page-turner filled with astonishing twists that affirms the power of love to connect us beyond time and space."

Meanwhile, Gal Gadot is awaiting the release of Death on the Nile and Netflix thriller Red Notice.

Game Of Thrones star Natalie Dormer quietly welcomed a baby girl with longtime partner David Oakes in January

Game Of Thrones star Natalie Dormer is a new mom. The actress has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with her longtime partner David Oakes.

During the That’s After Life podcast, she revealed, “It’s the perfect thing to do during a pandemic — get pregnant, have a baby. I feel like I’m probably being a bit of a cliché, she’ll probably be sitting in a bar in 30 years’ time one day going, ‘Yeah, I’m a COVID baby.’”

“She’s just three months and she’s an absolute joy, I’m never going to complain about shooting hours ever again because sleep deprivation is something else,” she said during the interview. “People say, ‘Your whole perspective on life will change, and your whole set of value system’ and you sort of roll your eyes and go ‘Yeah, yeah’ — and then you have one and you go, ‘Oh. Wow!’”

She further added, “I’m in love. I’m absolutely in love, she’s a joy. Sleep has always been quite important to me — that’s the only downside, but you know nature is so clever, the hormones kick in.”

Natalie Dormer played the role of Margery Tyrell in Game Of Thrones. She was last seen in Penny Dreadful.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa’s shoots shifted to Gujarat amid the pandemic

As for Anupamaa, the family will be seen leaving for a destination engagement and despite the turmoil in their lives, Anupamaa will be seen putting up a happy face.

Popular Television actress Aashka Goradia, who was in the news recently for quitting her acting career, is now again in limelight. She recently revealed that she is stepping into her entrepreneurship career. Now, she has revealed that she and her husband Brent Goble both have tested positive for COVID-19.

The actress herself declared it on her Instagram and wrote, "In preparation of our trip to my home in the US, @ibrentgobale and I have tested positive for COVID. We have been reeling from this news since this morning when we were just about to leave Goa. Both of us are feeling fine physically but the test reports say otherwise and that means we have to let the virus run its course."

Exclusive: Deepika Padukone plays a fitness instructor in Shakun Batra's next based on extra marital issue

Last year, Shakun Batra went on floors with his next - a domestic noir drama that stars Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa. The yet to be titled movie has been kept completely under wraps and nobody knows much about the film. Not anymore. Bollywood Hungama has EXCLUSIVE deets on the same. Read on...

A source tells us, "Deepika plays the role of a fitness instructor. While many in the know say it's based on a celebrity fitness instructor, the team at Dharma Productions and the writers have completely denied it. But yes, it's true she plays a fitness enthusiast and a trainer in the domestic noir drama."

Apart from that, the insider also gives us some details on the film's storyline. "The plotline goes like this – Ananya Panday and Deepika Padukone play sisters in the film. While Deepika is opposite Siddhant, Dhairya plays Ananya's love interest. Shakun has always got a kick out of complex relationship stories and in this, the complexities come when Deepika gets physically involved with her younger sister Ananya's partner Dhairya. The whole extra marital issue has been treated with a lot of sensitivity, ala typical Shakun style and it's an emotional watch."

Lyca Productions takes Robot director Shankar to court

Shankar the maverick filmmaker from the South known for his big-screen fantasies has lately found himself in a bit of a legal jam. First there was the producer of Shankar’s 2005 Telugu blockbuster Anniyan. Producer Aascar V Ravichandran claimed—and rightly so—that the story and screenplay rights of Anniyan belonged to him and therefore Shankar was not within his rights to do the remake.

Now comes an even bigger blow to Shankar’s epic plans with his long-delayed Indian 2 finding itself in a legal imbroglio. The producers Lyca Productions have now gone to court to forbid Shankar from directing any other film until he completes Indian 2.

But will Indian 2 ever get completed? The film’s leading man Kamal Haasan has been busy with his political aspirations which are prioritized far above his film career at the moment.

An informed source reveal, “Indian 2 has been troubled from the word go. It has been facing one glitch after another. Now the producers going to the court asking that the director be prevented from signing other films until he completes Indian 2 could have far-reaching repercussions for all directors into multi-projects.”

SCOOP: S S Rajamouli’s RRR may not release on 13 October this year; may be pushed to 2022

S S Rajamouli’s post-Baahubali opus RRR has got itself into a massive Covid imbroglio. While Rajamouli is adamant to finally release the film on 13 October, as per the latest schedule plan, sources close to the project say the release in the given date seems “next to impossible”

One of the actors from RRR told this writer, “How can it release on 13 October? Both Ramcharan Teja and NTR Jr have a lot of pending shooting for RRR. Ramcharan hasn’t shot much this year. He was busy with his other project Acharya (featuring father and son Chiranjeevi and Ramcharan). NTR Jr also didn’t shoot this year. The plan was for them both to shoot and complete the film by July 2021. This now seems unlikely with the new Covid upsurge.”

The source says RRR may now be pushed to early next year. “We may come for Makar Sankranti in January 2022. Even that is doubtful at the moment.” This source rules out a digital release for RRR.
