Athiya Shetty is rocking on one magazine cover after another!

We recently saw Athiya on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar India looking like a total diva. And now we have yet another cover of her where she is looking like a vision in white!

For next month’s edition of the Juice magazine, the Hero actress posed on the cover dressed in beautiful white separates. And not just the cover, even for the inside pictures, Athiya is dressed in all whites.

For the first look she is wearing a Miss Selfridge collar shirt, Boohoo distressed denims and Miss Bennett London bracelets with Dorothy Perkins pumps…

Giving us her “staring into the soul” look in this Neoprene bomber jacket by Zalora, Athiya looks drop-dead gorgeous!

This is our favourite shot from the entire edition. Here Sooraj Pancholi‘s co-star is wearing a River Island crop top and a Miss Bennett London skirt.

Athiya proves that she is the PYT who is all set to become the next big fashionista of Bollywood after Sonam Kapoor. In this shot she is wearing a kimono jacket and skirt by Mango. It is accessorized with Miss Bennett London charm necklace.

We think that Athiya is gonna be the glamzon of the younger generation. We cannot wait for her to rock it in Hero!

The lead stars of the film were seen attending the audio launch recently. Read on to know more!

After SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali, people are gearing up to see Chimbu Deven’s Puli. The Tamil film stars Vijay along with Hansika Motwani, Shruti Haasan and Sridevi.

The venture is said to be an adventure fantasy and will see its release in September this year. The lead actors of the film Vijay, Shruti and Hansika were recently seen attending the audio launch where Hansika looked radiant in a brown saree which she teamed up with a printed blouse. The beauty accessioned  her traditional attire with a pair of big matching earrings and heavy eyeliner.

The actress here is seen standing next to Vijay who chose to show up in a casual shirt and pants.

Shruti Haasan on the other hand showed up in a gorgeous sequinned Anarkali which she teamed up with a beautiful maang bindi. Check out her picture:

BollywoodLife informed its viewers that the makers of Puli might take the route followed by Baahubali and release the film in a Hindi dubbed version. Considering the tremendous business Baahubali has done in north India, the Puli team is aiming to take a similar route and reach out to a wider audience. The Hindi dubbed version of Bahubali was distributed by Karan Johar under his Dharma Productions banner and inched close to the 100 crore mark in no time!

Is is being said that there are likely to be more CGI and VFX effects in Puli as compared to Baabahuli. What’s pending to be seen is how the audience will react to Puli after Baahubali’s massive success.

Will Puli be able to create the same magic? Let us wait and watch! Till then check out all the pics in the gallery above and tell us whose look you like the best!

The actor stated that the film didn’t work because of budgeting issues. Read on!

Actor Abhishek Bachchan says his home production Shamitabh, starring father Amitabh Bachchan, failed at the box office as they went wrong with its budgeting.

Shamitabh, directed by R Balki and featuring megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush and Akshara Haasan, did not do well. “I think we got the budgeting wrong… I think the budget was wrong. We made it (budget) too expensive. If it could have been made in a controlled budget, it could have done better,” Abhishek told a portal in an interview here.

The movie is a story of mute guy aspiring to be an actor who gets help from a man with a powerful voice (Amitabh Bachchan). Together they take the film industry by storm, but their egos clash and they drift apart. Abhishek, 39, plans to produce more films in future. “We just had Piku and Shamitabh. Scripting of films is going on. The projects are at nascent stage. There is a movie with Amit Sharma (‘Tevar’) which is in scripting phase.

These are things that need to grow organically.” Meanwhile, Abhishek is looking forward to the release of Umesh Shukla’s All is Well. His other upcoming films include “Hera Pheri” and “Housefull 3″. “I have already started shooting for ‘Hera Pheri’ and for ‘Housefull 3′, I will start shooting by August end and it should be done by December. The release will be on June 3 and I hope we stick to those time lines,” he said.

There have been talks about “Dostana 2″ but Abhishek insists that it is not happening. He thinks a sequel to his 2005 hit “Bluffmaster” should be made. “We would love to (make a sequel to “Bluffmaster”). Riteish Deshmukh (co-actor), Rohan Sippy (director) want to do it but we need to crack the right script for it. Rohan is working on it,” Abhishek added.

The diva revealed many a secret about her personal life on the chat show tonight…

Priyanka Chopra kick-started the second season of The Anupam Kher Show. PC came dressed in a beautiful Dior monochrome gown to the show. The Quantico beauty revealed many secrets about herself. Here are some beans she spilled on the show…

I was competitive as a child. I don’t like failure, I get depressed.

PC revealed that as a child she was very competitive and she liked winning. She used to get depressed on losing things.

I loved saying No to everything. Sent to hostel in third standard

As a child PC was spoilt and stubborn so she liked saying no to everything. But then she was sent to boarding school in her third grade and after that she was a lot more disciplined!

I used to mimic people a lot. People called me Mitthoo and I HATED it!

As a child PC used to mimic people, much to her parents’ embarrassment. So to stop her people around her started calling her Mitthoo (like a parrot) and till today she hates it!

I wanted to be an engineer

She never wanted to become a model or an engineer. And as she couldn’t stand the sight or smell of blood she didn’t want to become a doctor. So PC decided to become an engineer. But obviously, life had different plans!

Ironically, Black girls bullied me and said racist things, they called me brownie.  

When she enrolled in an American school, life wasn’t hunky dory. As an Indian, she was subjected to racism which made her want to come back to India. After coming back to Bareilly, PC’s brother and mother sent her photographs to the Miss World contest without telling her and the rest as you know is history!

Learnt punctuality from Akshay Kumar. Amitabh Bachchan said how you make yourself memorable in whatever role you have, no matter how big or small

Priyanka revealed that most of her training in the field of acting has been on the job. She has picked up valuable lessons on sets itself and she considers herself very good at her job and most of all she is dedicated and hard-working.

I was cast for Krish after Rakesh Roshan saw rushes from Aitraaz.

PC told on the show that Rakesh Roshan saw her at her father’s funeral and after that he called her to ask her abotu signing Krissh. He then saw some of her rushes from Aitraaz and decided to cast her opposite Hrithik Roshan.

I just wanted to do Barfi because Anurag thought I couldn’t 

PC said on the show that at first when Anurag Basu came to her house for the narration he saw her dressed up and decided that it was not a good idea to cast her in the film as an autistic girl. PC then determined to prove Basu wrong and researched thoroughly about the role for 5 days before meeting with Anurag again to convince him. We can all say that she nailed it!

Tonight’s show with Priyanka was super entertaining and we got to learn a lot about her life! Did you enjoy the first episode of The Anupam Kher Show?

Read on to know the highlights of tonight’s episode!

In today’s episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded, Bangistan’s Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat were seen as celebrity guests, as they promoted their film on the show. The episode started with a tug of war between judge Karan Johar and Shahid Kapoor’s team. Soon the show kickstarted with a deadly act by Mohit Malik, who managed to impress Kjo, Sasha and Lauren Gottlieb, Ganesh Hegde with his power packed moves. Next was cricketer Irfan Pathan who made his dancing debut and managed to shine with his ‘Khiladi’ performance! The hunk was appreciated by the the judges for his spirit, energy and sportsmanship. Soon followed some masti where Riteish and Pulkit were invited on stage to play a game with Shahid and Mr Pathan. Shahid assigned some dance forms to the Bangistan co-stars which they had to enact them and Irfan had to guess what they were. First was Riteish’s turn who left the audience in splits with his Lavani act. Soon things took a surprising turn when Pulkit was asked to perform a lap dance for Irfan and the Fukrey actor left everyone gasping for breath with his hilarious number!

After Irfan, came in Ashish Chowdhry who yet again failed to get the judges swooning over him with his hip hop number. Scarlett Wilson on the other hand pulled off a dhamakedaar Paso Doble act and received great comments from the judges. Sanaya Irani emerged as the surprise element in tonight’s episode where she nailed it as a sexy gothic chic with her energetic stint.

The episode ended with a dance off between Raftaar and Kavita Kaushik. Where the popular rapper impressed the judges with his cute act on song Jaane Kyun from Dostana, Kavita sizzled as a fisher woman on the song Mary Mera Naam from Brothers. Unfortunately, Kavita has been eliminated from the show! While parting, the contestant revealed that her dad’s caner is back and requested all to pray for his health. It was an emotional moment for her as well as the rest of the contestants.

The dance war between Kjo and Shahid’s team ended with a tie and Faisal was named as the ‘man of the match!’ The upcoming episode will see a tribute to the Khan superstars Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir so stay tuned!

Lady Don is what she was called…

Sonakshi Sinha is making great strides in her career. She is already shooting an author backed titular role in A. R. Murugadoss’ Akira which we hear is shaping up really well. Recently we heard she is in the Hindi remake of OK Kanmani. If that wasn’t enough, she will be soon seen as the menacing sister of India’s most wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim, Haseena Parker who died last year! We definitely are excited about this casting but before you decide whether or not it was right to cast Sonakshi in it, here are some facts about the ‘Lady don’ of Mumbai.

1. It is said that while Dawood Ibrahaim became the most wanted fugitive in India, Parker was integral in keeping his dealings in India alive through hawala networks and illegal land deals.

2. Haseena’s husband became the victim of gang rivalry. He was murdered in 1991 and according to reports; Dawood executed the JJ Hospital shootout to teach the killers of his brother-in-law a lesson. Apparently, Arun Gawli’s gang had sent henchmen for him.

3. Haseena;s name was associated with many land grabbing and extortion cases. But the only ongoing case during her death in 2014 was the one where she was charged with cheating and extortion.

4. She lost her son Danish Parker in 2003 to a fatal accident on Goa-Mumbai highway while he was returning home from Goa.

5. According to reports, she is the most tailed member of Dawood’s family. She has always been followed by Police’s hawk eyes!

From the look of it, the role would be gritty, strong and extremely feisty without losing the soft feminine side. We feel Sonakshi has what it takes to get into Haseena’s character. What do you feel?

On the occasion of the Ajith’s completion of 23 years in Indian cinema, we take a look at his filmography to pin point films that are worthy of a Bollywood remake

Long before Dhanush took Bollywood by storm with Kolaveri Di and Raanjhanna, there was Ajith Kumar who made a rather subdued entry in Bollywood with 2002 flick Asoka alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Though he didn’t pursue a career in B-town, his cameo in Asoka was widely appreciated.

Now as Thala Ajith completes 23 years in Indian cinema, delivering umpteen number of Tamil blockbusters, it seems highly unlikely that he would return back to Bollywood. Though B-town might miss out on the excellent acting skills of Ajith, the magic of his films can be recreated in Hindi cinema. While Thala fans are making #23YearsOfInvincibleAJITH trend on Twitter, I give you a list of Ajith films which should be remade in Bollywood asap:

Vaalee

Cast: Ajith, Simran 

Plot: Vaalee tells the tale of two brothers both played by Ajith. While the younger brother falls in love with a girl and gets married, the mute elder brother has his eyes on his brother’s wife.

Mankatha

Cast: Ajith, Premgi Amaren, Trisha, Arjun, Raai Laxmi 

Plot:  A corrupt cop played by Ajith, teams up with four wannabe criminals and plans the biggest heist of all times. This team of felons is constantly followed by Arjun, who is also a cop. What happens when the heist plan goes awry? Filled with menacing characters and umpteen instances of betrayal and double crossing, Mankatha is a tout  commercial thriller which is calling out to be remade.

Veeram

Cast: Ajith, Tamannaah

Plot: Ajith plays Vinayagam, a tough guy in the village, who deals things in his own violent ways. He is supported by his four brothers, whom he loves deeply. Vinayagam hates the idea of marriage, so in order to sort their own love lives, the four brothers plan to make their elder brother fall in love. Finally, with the help of his brothers, Vinayagam falls in love with Tamannaah. How Vinayagam sheds his path of violence for the sake of love forms the crux of the story.

Arrambam

Cast: Ajith, Nayanthara, Arya

Yennai Arindhaal

IIJW kick-started with Sonam Kapoor walking the ramp in a stunning Michel Costello gown. Check out all the pics!

The leading fashion icon of India, Sonam Kapoor was seen inaugurating the 6th edition of India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) 2015 today.

As we all know, the actress is a brand ambassador of Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) and was seen kick starting IIJW 2015 with the inauguration ceremony which was preceded with a fashion show where Sonam graced the ramp with her oomph, charm and a stunning avatar. The Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actress was seen wearing a gorgeous emerald green gown by Michael Costello, that she teamed up with matching diamond earrings, bracelet and a ring. The beauty looked a vision and we loved the way she had done up her hair in a slick pony tail. BollywoodLife recently presented you with behind-the-scenes pics of the fashionista where she was getting ready for her big catwalk moment. Well all the hard work of those who helped paid off as Sonam looked flawless on ramp!

SRK was banned from entering the stadium on May 18, 2012 after he misbehaved with security staff.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday thanked the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) for showing “graciousness” in lifting the ban imposed three years ago on him from entering the Wankhede Stadium here.
The 49-year-old posted on Twitter: “My gentle father-in-law made me realise how little it matters who was right or who was wrong. What matters is grace. Thanks MCA for your graciousness.”

The “Chennai Express” star, who co-owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was banned from entering the stadium on May 18, 2012 after he misbehaved with security staff following a match between KKR and Mumbai Indians. He was originally banned for five years.

MCA officials had also lodged a complaint against him at the Marine Drive police station saying that he was drunk and abused the officials.

Shah Rukh had denied that he misbehaved and said that he reacted after some children, including his own, being manhandled by the stadium security staff.

The MCA in 2014 had offered to temporarily lift the ban on the actor in what was a failed attempt at bringing back the IPL final from Bengaluru to Mumbai. That offer, however, was just for the final match.

Here’s taking a look at this month’s Bollywood releases…

The screenplay of the film has been written in co-ordination with author Hussain Zaidi, and is an adaptation of his book Mumbai Avengers. It has taken references from a lot of real life incidences. Once the movie releases, we can get to know as to how all of this has panned out.

So go ahead BollywoodLifers, have a look at the trailers of all these films and VOTE for the one which you are most excited about.

Not so long ago before the Haider actor debuted on small screen we had told you how the actor wanted East India Comedy to write for his television stint. While they refused to come on board we hear that Sasha did not stop at that…

Shahid Kapoor is indeed a special judge to have on small screen. The dashing dude manages to spin his charm and magic on the audience every time he’s on screen on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded. The hottie apart from taking keen interest in the way he looks on this show, is also involved in every minute aspect of this dance reality show. In fact, his ways might just make him the successor to none other than Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan. It seems that Shahid’s dream team for Jhalak didn’t come together after EIC refused to be a part of television reality show. EIC felt that their kind of comedy did not lend itself to small screen. But Sasha wanted his first time on TV to be perfect. So we hear that Colors went to various other writers to script gags for Shahid!

A source revealed, “Shahid wanted to have special gags scripted for him. And he had a few other suggestions too as far as his Jhalak shoots were concerned. So the channel went to many writers who refused, finally they found a Bollywood writer who obliged. And this writer is specifically scripting acts for Karan and Shahid only.”

Well, looks like Shahid is the don on Jhalak sets. If buzz is to be believed then the actor demanded to have a special seating for himself that was different from Karan Johar. He also refused to share the judges podium with Ganesh Hegde and Lauren Gottlieb. It seems that the Shaandaar actor take maximum time to get ready and often keeps the entire unit waiting. Guess when you are the biggest star attraction on a show and both contestants and fans love you, you can have your way be it right or then… But are these gags really entertaining? Well, you tell us in the comment box below…

Aaliya is going through a rough patch and Manik- Nandini wish to cheer her up. Will they succeed in doing so? Find out!

In the last episode, we saw Manik(Parth Samthaan) asking Nandini(Niti Taylor) to opt out of the competition and not perform with Aryaman(Karan Jotwani) and Navya. Nandini was disappointed and sat sulking till Manik came and cheered her up with a song later. However, he was shocked when Nandini said that she won’t opt out of the competition and will perform with Aryaman and Navya. Manik asked her as to why she was doing this when the latter stated that she could not ditch Navya and promised Manik that she would stay away from Aryaman. Later, Manik was seen threatening Aryaman and telling him that he was aware of how the latter had tried to hurt him and Nandini at the construction site. He ended up hurting Aryaman, who promised that he would react soon to Manik’s violent ways, very soon. Meanwhile, Aaliya(Krissann Barretto) snubbed Dhruv(Utkarsh Gupta) and his apologies, stating that she wished there was no Fab 5 and she didn’t have to tolerate him. The episode ended with Manik overhearing the same and being shocked by Aaliya’s words.

In the upcoming episode, we will see Manik and Nandini deciding that they would do something special for Fab 5 on the occasion of Friendships’ Day. Manik will be seen making a card with Aaliya’s name and the same will surprise the rest of the group members. Aaliya will claim she hasn’t made the card and Manik will interrupt,saying that he has as he is Aaliya’s biggest fan.

Will Manik and Nandini succeed in reuniting FAB 5 and making Aaliya happy? Stay tuned to find out!

You can do it because we have the proof…

Karan Johar‘s films may be filled with lush, mush and extremely candyfloss laden, but they have always have been out a staple diet for something emotional. All of us have watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai so many times that now we can even mouth the dialogues as perfectly as Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. But what also drew us to his films were the songs. From kya karu hai…kuch kuch hota hai to sajda tera sajda, he has managed to have some really awesome melody. They are hummed even today. However, lately, he seems to have lost his musical touch. So if he isn’t literally translating Hindi into English with Ishq wala love, he is taking the help of Chikni Chamelis and Marys! So we thought we will remind him how he can outdo himself.

1. Tujhe yaad na meri aaye (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)

There was two parts of this very heart touching and goosebump-inducing song. Once when Kajol gets spurned by SRK and towards the end when SRK realises his love for Kajol. If the first one broke our hearts, the second one made it wail only to climax in happiness when they get together.

 2. Kal Ho Na Ho (Kal Ho Na Ho)

Words fall short of explaining the effect of this song on us. Even today it gives us gooseflesh. Sonu Nigam’s soul-stirring voice is perhaps the best ode to life and its strange ways. KJo, that’s how you expressed through music so many years ago! Can we expect a repeat of this?

3. Suraj Hua Madham (Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham)

Now, watching Shah Rukh and Kajol romance in Egypt was any way the biggest high in the film. Add to that the smooth romantic voice of Sonu Nigam and the melody…sigh! Wish love happened that way in all his following movies.

4. Mitwa (Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna)

It’s amazing how the feelings of two people were summed up so effortlessly with melody. Need we say more KJo?

5. Sajda (My Name Is Khan)

Sajda means worship and one would really worship this song. It is beautiful and had a story in it. Sigh….

Don’t you think he needs to just brush up his immaculate music hunting skills and put it to good use. Good news is that might actually happen with his next film. So stay tuned for more dope on it..

Not every masterpiece can be perfect…can they?

Baahubali is on its way to be India’s highest grossing film ever, with Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan close to its heels. The magnum opus has been much praised for its lavish storytelling, intense performances and eye for detail!

However, no matter how big your film is or how big you are, there are chances that you might stumble once. Though Baahubali has been complimented for for its intricate detailing, perfection is one area where it lacked, as our viewers have found out. Here are ten such weakness or bloopers that Baahubali failed to cover up!

The Rope Trick!

There is a scene in the film where a huge golden statute is being erected in the city, and one of the workers, an old man accidentally lets go of the rope. But the hero saves the day, as he valiantly catches hold of the rope, before any further damage is inflicted. Impressive! …Though there is a slight issue that the rope is still slack, even when Baahubali is pulling at it!

The all-seeing Kattappa 

Now this is one blooper that almost every film with a flashback device suffers from…

If you have seen the film, you are aware that Kattappa is narrating the father Baahubali’s tale to the son Baahubali. However, there are a few scenes in the narrative where the old warrior is not even present, yet he explains these in detail to his listener. Apart from being Baahubali’s killer, is Kattappa also a seer?

Where are the creepers, dude?

In the Dheevara song, Prabhas gets entangled in a web of creepers, but in the next scene, he is shown dangling on a single creeper! The magic of love!

Baahubali – The Iron Man!

In that epic scene where the hero is scaling the mountain, he slips and falls a few metres, but there is not a single scratch on his body!

The magic slippers

As Prabhas scales the mountain, he has no slippers, but in the fight scene that happens immediately, a pair of slippers magically appear on his feet! Voila!

The convenient sexy knot!

I know it’s erotic to see that knot on the blouse being untied…but did you have forcefully insert it in the scene just for that effect?

Instant costume-change!

Prabhas and Rana’s costumes change before, during and after the item song even when the events preceding and succeeding it are set at the same time….

The most inefficient cleaner

Anushka Shetty is shown collecting dry leaves in the most cleanest of all courtyards!

The Sanjaya effect!

In Mahabharata, Sanjaya was granted the power to see the big battle from the confines of his palace without actually being at the scene, so that he narrate the same to the blind Dhritarashtra. It seems the elders in Baahubali also have the same power, as they manage to know about every little conflict happening in the battlefield!

Same 2 Same?

If both father and son Baahubali look like the same i.e. like Prabhas, why don’t their child avatars resemble each other? What kind of selective metamorphosis is this?

Any other bloopers your eagle eye managed to find out? Share your findings…

Miscasting, wasting good actors, horrendous costumes…issues that plagued the remake!

The Hindi version of the the Malayalam blockbuster, Drishyam, released last week. The Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer has opened to middling reviews and lukewarm opening! Since Drishyam is a movie that worked in every language it got released, WTF happened here?

To be fair, Drishyam follows the original plot to the T, with slight modifications here and there. But the fatigue of seeing another remake of the film did it in…plus a few others! Here are seven reasons why the Ajay Devgn failed to rise in front of the Mohanlal original!

80% public knows the plot by now…and the twist!

Unlike regional cinema, Bollywood has a pan-India appeal! people from all states watch Hindi films. When Drishyam was first released in Kerala, it catered to only the Malayalam audience there, before other languages picked up. By the time, Drishyam was released in Bollywood, it had already been made in four languages, and with the power of subtitles, even the ones who couldn’t follow the languages, have been able to see the film. So the novelty factor of the plot gets lost the fifth time!

Shriya Saran is supremely miscast

This was a serious piece of miscasting! Seriously why Shriya? Though Tabu had a powerful character, even the hero’s wife had an equally strong character to play. When Meena played the same role in the original, she looked really apt as the housewife and a mother of two kids. Shriya doesn’t even look as the mother of the younger kid, and her layered-up make-up doesn’t even make her look like an ordinary housewife. Her screechy performance does little to help her case!

The kids don’t evoke empathy as in the original

The main complaint every Drishyam release has endured is the languid pacing in the first half, even for Mohanlal’s original. The movie takes its time, as it tries to establish the family setting and their idyllic existence, which is actually important for us to feel for them during the events post-interval! And the actors playing the kids have major role to play, as they were natural and likeable. The Hindi remake suffers on that aspect, as the kids don’t exactly make you root for them, due to their sketchy characterisation and average performances!

Rajat Kapoor is wasted

Why do you hire a talented actor like Rajat Kapoor and waste him in a totally fringe character, who doesn’t nothing but mouth a few dialogues and just stand  by his wife’s side? Agree, his character in the original film, played by Siddique, is also a small role. But there were scenes and dialogues, where Siddique actually made his and his wife’s situation pitiable, even if their kid deserved what he got! Actually he was the most empathetic character in the film!

Who the f#@% designed Tabu’s costumes?

Tabu is easily the best thing in the film. She is the main reason why I chose not to walk out from the screening! If I do sound blasphemous, forgive me, but I loved her performance better than Asha Sharreth’s in the original! However, her costumes were too distracting, especially her police uniform. It was so tight that we feared it would tear off mid-way!

All those ineffective slo-mo’s

Bollywood directors please stop abusing the technique of slow-motion every now and then! In Hindi Drishyam, it absolutely proved nothing except to increase the lag!

Ajay Devgn fails to connect as a common man a la Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan

The best reason why Drishyam worked in Malayalam and turned out to be a blockbuster is because of Mohanlal. Though he is known to play superhuman characters, here he was as simple as any of us, and his fears and worries were something we could feel. And that worked well for the character! Ajay Devgn did get the look right for the character, however his poise and cool demeanor made his character distant with the audience, even when he was getting beaten by the police! It was like watching a common man Singham! Moreover, his Marathi lingo sucked!

This trend of short films is soon catching up with our B-Town directors…

Radhika Apte’s latest short film Ahalya has been doing great on social media. The short film has been well appreciated not just by the fans abut even by critics. Taking cue from the same, Taapsee Pannu is all set to star in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s next project, which is a short film.

Taapsee has given a lot of blockbusters down south and it seems she is very selective about her roles in Bollywood. She was last seen in Akshay Kumar’s Baby. She will next be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s RunningShaadi.com. Now if sources are to be believed, Taapsee will be working in this short film, which will be based on a love story.

Tigmanshu was also seen having lengthy conversation with the actress at a recent birthday bash of their common friend. When contacted Taapsee she said, “I did not ask too many questions when I was offered the film. I was just so happy that Tigmanshu wanted to work with me since I’ve always wanted to work with him.”

Now with short films becoming a norm of the day, it will be great to see one more. Sujoy Ghosh’s Ahalya has definitely raised our expectations and we want this Tigmanshu Dhulia one to be equally good.

This behind the scene video of the song will leave you in awe

They said that Indian films can never match the high standards of special effects and graphics set by Hollywood. And then came Baahubali. SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus not only proved to be a winner at box office, but many consider it as India’s answer to 300 and Game of Thrones.

Loaded with state of art VFX work, India’s biggest motion picture Baahubali: The Beginning is being raved all over the world. And if you wondered how important was the role of VFX in Baahubali’s success, then  this behind the scenes video of Dheevara song will give you a clear glimpse of the magic of green screen.

I believe everyone enjoyed watching the song Dheevara on big screen, as Prabhas pulls off some deadly stunts to pursue Tamannaah by the enchanting waterfall. But did you know other than the actors and their costumes, the visuals of the entire song was made from scratch with the help of special effects and green screen. Be it the mesmerising waterfall or the lush green forest or the mesh of roots riding on which Prabhas  pulls off a Tarzan, everything is computer graphics generated.

In the making video we can see how cranes, ropes and stunt tricks of action master Peter Hein came to the rescue of Prabhas and Tamannaah in the song.

Watch the song making video HERE to understand the sheer wizardry of VFX effects.

Here’s the latest update on Zee TV’s Kumkum Bhagya…

Abhi is in love with Pragya and she loves him too. However, seems like their love has to go through some really tough times. And with Pragya deciding to skip Abhi’s Friendship Day special concert and being by Tanu’s side instead, looks like Abhi will have to face his evil sister single handedly. Yes, Abhi is a rockstar and a FLOP show means that his career is on a downhill. Aaliya and Raj are out there to make sure that Abhi is left with nothing. They are out to destroy Abhi and what better way than to attack his passion, music. Abhi feels really lonely at the concert when he fails to find his beloved wife amongst the audience. Pragya had promised Abhi that comde what may she will be in the crowd to watch his special performance. Abhi decides to dedicate his this performance to his new relationship with Pragya. Unfortunately for him looks like Pragya has found an emergency which is more important than this special date.

Pragya decides to convince Abhi’s grandparents to get her husband married to Tanu. Of course like any sane person would these Daadis object to Pragya’s proposal and instead reprimand her for coming up with such stupid suggestions. On the other side Aaliya and Raj bring paid goons to spoil Abhi’s concert. At first they decide to attack him in public, but Aaliya comes up with a master plan and instead suggests that the rowdies call off the show by calling Abhi’s performance a bad act on stage.

Will Pragya and Abhi find out the truth of this whole matter? Is Aaliya not realising that is Abhi will be on streets then she too will be down in the dumps with him? Looks like Kumkum Bhagya characters are soooo dumb that they fail to see simple logic in life. For more updates on this show come back right here!

The actress posed in front of the mirror at her villa….

Actress Lindsay Lohan has posed topless in a new photograph. The 29-year-old took to Instagram on Monday to share the image in which she has stripped down to a pair of lacy knickers while posing in front of a mirror at her Cavo Tagoo hotel room on Mykonos Island in Greece, reports said.

Earlier on Monday, Lohan shared a photograph of her with a group of men. She wore a black-and-white cutouts top and black pants paired with black boots. She completed her look with black aviator, red lipstick and nail arts. She captioned it: “Lindsay Al lohan @moalturki hahahaha”.

After romancing Bollywood beauties like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha, the Tamil superstar is all set to share screen with none other than Radhika Apte

It has been a great year for Radhika Apte. Not just her performances in films like Badlapur and Hunterrr were appreciated, her short film Ahalya directed by Sujoy Ghosh became viral. 

Radhika Apte, who has made her presence felt in Telugu cinema and  Tamil films before, will be starring opposite none other than superstar Rajinikanth himself. The rumour which was doing the rounds for a while now has been put to rest with Radhika officially signing the film. “I don’t know how to describe the feeling. It will take some time to sink in. I don’t think there is anybody bigger than Rajini sir. The director of the film, Pa Ranjith, is also exceptionally good. So, I am thrilled that everything worked out. I am also excited because I will finally get to meet Rajinikanth,” says Radhika.

Although Radhika has worked in a few Tamil films in the past, she admits that she isn’t entirely familiar with the language and will indulge in extensive preparations to master the same. Now we have to wait and watch how Rajini-Radhika Apte jodi fares onscreen. Will Radhika manage to beat Aishwarya, Deepika and Sonakshi to be the best Rajini heroine in recent times? Only time will tell.
