Here’s a quick overview of the week that was TV!

From the grim Pratyusha Banerjee death case, to Shilpa Shinde’s sensational threat to the CINTAA, this week was packed with action!

Pratyusha Banerjee suicide case took a sharp turn as mid-week, doctors declared that Pratyusha was pregnant and had had abortion weeks before her alleged suicide. Rahul Raj Singh, who has been discharged from the hospital, has been asked to visit the Bangur Nagar Police Station everyday between 11 am to 1 pm. Post the pregnancy reports, he has made some startling revelations about the abortion.

Drashti Dhami confirmed that she is exiting Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani as she is not comfortable playing a mother post the leap. The lady is planning to take an European holiday post this.

Benaifer Kohli finally found a replacement for the character of Angoori Bhabhi. She decided to replace Shilpa Shinde by Shubhangi Atre Poorey. However, our readers voted that Shilpa was the best ever.

Rumours of Shharad Malhotra and Kratika Sengar receiving warning from Colors channel made it to the headlines while Shharad Malhotra, in an exclusive interview to Bollywoodlife, denied being even remotely affected by his ex-girlfriend Divyanka Tripathi shooting next door.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywoodlife, actress Saloni Sharma revealed about the extent of her relationship with Rahul Raj Singh after Pratyusha Banerjee entered her life.

John Abraham shocked everyone when he pushed a reporter and stormed out of an event on being asked to comment on his ex Bipasha Basu’s upcoming wedding.

Shah Rukh Khan romanced Sunil Grover on The Kapil Sharma Show.

Actress Shilpa Shinde protested against CINTAA saying they had no rights to intervene in her matter. She declared she would not compensate anyone and instead approached the Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena to seek their support.

Zee TV’s Sarojini will go of air by month end.

Telly tracks:

In Swaragini, after Swara got slapped by Sanskar, he also made up for it with a romantic night when they consummated their marriage. The future track of the show may involve a thrilling plot with a Sharmishtha’s pregnancy, Swara’s attempted murder and her eventual memory loss.

The Saath Nibhana Saathiya cast took on a black avatar as the entire family went on the Mission Meera Bachao. Dressed in black, Gopi and Kokila led the family to try and rescue Dharam, once using a truck, once a scooter and once in a mini bus.

Abhi, in Kumkum Bhagya, was almost on the verge of marrying Tanu.

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein got more intriguing with promos showing Raman and Ishita getting stuck on a hijacked plane, and Ishita getting shot.

The on-location picture of Ritik and Shivanya took the internet by storm as Naagin cast shot in the sea.

In Balika Vadhu, Yukti Kapoor will replace Jayshree Soni in the upcoming revamp.

Congratulations:

Kumkum Bhagya actress Shikha Singh, who plays Aliya Mehra on the show, will be getting married to her long time pilot boyfriend Karan Shah.

We’ve got an EXCLUSIVE update of the same and you so cannot afford to miss it. Read on…

Salman Khan might be playing a tough, hardcore wrestler in Sultan but he’s quite emotional otherwise. Turns out the superstar unexpectedly broke down right in the middle of the shoot recently. Yes! It so happened that Salman, who will be crooning for a rather emotional song “Jag Ghumiya” in the film, couldn’t hold back his tears on relating to the lyrics which basically translates the life of a guy who travels the whole world but only manages to find peace within himself.

Speaking of which, our source EXCLUSIVELY reveals to us that as soon as Salman was done recording this song, he was completely moved, speechless, lost in his own thoughts. In fact, if Salman’s reaction is anything to go by then this song is probably the best composed song he’s sung so far. Even better than his previous songs be it Hangover from Kick or Main Hoon Hero Tera from Hero. We wonder if this song will feature Salman along with his onscreen co-star Anushka Sharma.

Indeed, Sultan has so much to look forward to. While on one side we get to see a drop dead action packed side of Salman in his pehelwan avatar. This update on the song of the film has got us even more curious. Not to forget, the first song has already been shot which is going to be a promotional track on the tunes of rapper Badshah. How excited are you for Sultan? Tell us in the comments below and do come back to BollywoodLife for more such exclusive updates.

The ace comedian has already raised our curiosity levels to a peak…

In recent times, if there is someone who has represented the funny bone of middle class India with pride and panache, it is Kapil Sharma. His earlier show Comedy Nights With Kapil attained a cult status before it shut shop rather controversially. His legion of fans, including us, have been waiting for The Kapil Sharma Show. Here are some reasons why you should not miss the first episode.

#He’s back
You might scoff at us for listing this as a reason but there are zillions who missed the ace comedian on TV. Kapil Sharma is intelligent, articulate, goofy and knowledgeable. A good satirist draws humour from life around him and Kapil does just that. He is perfect for those who hate forcing smiles through slapstick or bathroom humour.

#Grand entry
A source tells us that Kapil and his team have spared no efforts to make the first episode a memorable one. The singer will croon his favourite number Aankhon Ke Sagar, which has been sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali. Kiku Sharda, Sumona Chakravarti, Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar will make a surprise entry from the audience that goes berserk.

#Presence of Shah Rukh Khan
King Khan is the first celebrity guest on the show and it can’t get bigger than that. Kapil and SRK share an amazing camaraderie and that will be on full display. We know how witty and tongue-in-cheek SRK can be!

#Bromance between Kapil and SRK
As per reports, the two have pulled each other’s legs like anything during the episode. Since it is held in Delhi, SRK will be seen regaling audiences with anecdotes about his personal life in Delhi. Audiences will also get to know about his love story with Gauri.

#Kapil: The ladies man
The ace comedian has lost some weight and is looking smart. He will be seen turning on his charm on the ladies. Yes, we will reportedly see a flirtatious (and funny) side of him that will be a revelation for all.

#Ali Asgar as Begum
While his act of Daadi has gone down history books, Ali will be seen in a different avatar altogether. He will be dressed as Begum. SRK will be seen quoting a romantic dialogue from Jab Tak Hai Jaan for him.

#Sunil Grover as Suman
After Gutthi, Sunil is back as a lady cop Suman. We have seen him in the promos. SRK will do the Gerua dance with Sunil.

#Live Delhi audience
The first episode will play out before a live audience in Delhi. Before this, we have seen audiences in studios but this time the excitement will be multi-fold. The Delhi crowd loves a good laugh so it will be interesting to see the crowd chemistry.

#The Jabra dance
The actor’s film Fan released a week ago and pundits have raved about his performance. Sunil Grover will dress up as Gaurav from the film and do the Jabra dance with SRK.

#Kiku as Nawab
If Ali is going to be a Begum then Kiku will be a Nawab. We have seen his royal avatar in Akbar Birbal but this one promises to be zanier.

Check out our EXCLUSIVE interview with Sunil Grover in the video below…

The two sides are hitting back at each other…

Yesterday, we revealed to you a few LEAKED emails that Kangana Ranaut allegedly sent to Hrithik Roshan on his original email id. The actress was in touch with an imposter earlier and after the actor revealed that the hroshan@email.com is not his account and gave her the real id, she supposedly started emailing him on that id. However, Hrithik didn’t reply to any of these emails (that’s what his legal team says). And as soon as the emails came in two leading dailies, Kangana and her lawyer SLAMMED Hrithik, even calling him desperate.

Later in the evening, the actress’ advocate Rizwan Siddiquee released another statement saying, “By circulating some out-of-context unreliable and unverified emails to the media together with some unreliable private forensic report, Mr. Hrithik Roshan has finally proved that he has lost complete trust in the legal system as well as patience and shall go to any extent to cause damage to my client’s name, image and reputation and instill fear in her mind. It is apparent that he cannot wait till my client formally records her statement with the police and is therefore obviously pushing her to extremes, to proceed ahead in the matter without waiting to obtain a copy of the FIR, as is legally sought by my client.”

However, Hrithik legal team have an apt answer for it. In fact they even question Kangana‘s motive in the their latest statement, which reads as, “We know our client is fighting for clearing his name but we are unclear what they are fighting for ? Is the fight from their end only to establish “implied” association with our client ? For us this fight is a worthy cause because our client is fighting to save his reputation as he was brutally attacked and unbelievable lies were circulated with impunity, but we fail to understand the motivation of the other party. We have already submitted all the evidences that is required to the authorities. We have been dutifully following the procedure and the truth will come out.”

Hrithik‘s team also suggests that Kangana and her lawyer are confusing everyone, as they add, “They are trying to confuse the matter when this is a simple case of spreading lies. If by their own admission they haven’t referred to our client, Hrithik Roshan, as ” silly ex” and if by that they are meaning that he hasn’t had a romantic relationship their client, then their is no fight between us. But they have been slyly implying things and we are committed to bring clarity to the entire episode.”

What do you think about these latest statements? Tell us in the comments section below! Also check out the story about the LEAKED email conversation between the duo in the video right here:

The fight is still on BTW…

What are Bollywood films made of? A stellar cast which will have a superstar as the main lead and a very popular heroine opposite him. There will be love at first sight, romance, some adorable meetings. But things can’t say hunky dory all the time, so tension will crop up and drive them away. They will distance themselves so much that rumours will start brewing. Ideally, in a regular Bollywood film, the leads will realise how much they love each other and reunite. That’s exactly where Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan‘s story will come as a breath of fresh life. In last couple of days, the two actors have been at each other’s throats, slamming notices and FIRs on each other. People who were apparently in love are now out to get each other. That’s the thrilling part every Bollywood story misses. We tell you why their story can form a perfect script for a blockbuster waiting to be made…

Since a film or a play is categorised in three categories, we have three categories here too.

ACT 1 – Setup

Jab They Met…

If reports are to be believed, Kangana and Hrithik were friends since Kites, their first film together. In fact, after she was handed a raw deal in Kites, she wasn’t too keen to be part of Krrish 3 but it was apparently Hrithik who coaxed her into working in it. She agreed. Rumours suggest Krrish 3 became the bedrock of their relationship. So, if we turn it into a filmi affair, following things might have happened…

Pyaar dosti hain… 

Some serenading romantic dialogues by the hunk of a man called Hrithik Roshan…

And then a rose for the lady!

And they go out!

Once ‘yes’ is exchanged, they can have long drawn songs and some ahem ahem…

A kiss to seal the love…

Some fun time…

And they sing songs… love songs looking gorgeous!

Promises exchanged

Mumbai Mirror had quoted a friend of Kangana saying that Hrithik had even proposed marriage to the actress which she said yes to after much deliberation. There’s a plot point right there… Imagine HR proposing her this way!

Life is not a bed of roses

So far so good? Not really. Now we aren’t too sure as to what went so outrageously wrong between the two for them to turn so bitter on each other but we are guessing whatever it is, something had to be big. Now that’s your cue to use your creative juices right there filmmakers. Insecurities are one of the major reasons we are told.

From both sides…

And the first act ends here with a question… where are they headed!

ACT 2 – Confrontation

Here the conflict gets deeper. Then things start going from bad…

To worse

Fights and confrontations galore!

And some more…

Distance grows

Bitchy bites follow

ACT 2 generally makes the atmosphere for a big twist in the tale that will follow. It has to find a proper build up to the climax and here too Hrithik and Kangana’s bickerings can work wonders. Kangana’s ‘silly ex’ comment made her affair with HR very public. That prompted Hrithik to post a scathing tweet. Sample this.

That sets the tone for a dhamakedar next act which are mostly the climax and the end.

ACT III – Resolution but in this case, high drama!

This takes us to the last section of a movie where the climax leads us to an eventual end. Now, we aren’t sure what the end will be to this act legal letters exchanged between the two actors, but the climax definitely looks good. That comment and the tweet were the last straw here and both slapped legal cases on each other. Hrithik wants a sorry for the comment and Kangana won’t give it to him. Never in the history of romantic films in India did a love saga went so bitter and bizarre and that’s exactly why this film will be actually ‘hatke’. And this how the climax will look like!

‘Mind games’ begin

And then it will end with this!

or so you would think but you are wrong again. Yesterday, emails from Kangana to Hrithik were leaked and that opened a can of worms. A love email… how original for a Bollywood film. How often have you seen that! You’ve got a mail, Hrithik!

The only thing that’s still not done yet is the end! It’s a fad to keep films open-ended… this movie can be that too!

DISCLAIMER: The above article is meant to be taken in a light manner. 

Get the lowdown on the latest happenings of South film industry

This week has truly been an explosive one for Tollywood, Kollywood and Mollywood as some really big and exciting events took place. After a brief command of Kollywood thanks to Vijay’s Theri, the Telugu film industry has relinquished its hold once again in the South and how! In the last one week, we saw a highly anticipated movie being released, a famous actresses’s marriage rumours doing the rounds and introduction of a popular Telugu actor in B-town. Check out what all has transpired in the last seven days…

Teaser release of Vikram’s Iru Mugan

Iru Mugan is the super mysterious science fiction thriller starring Vikram, Nayanthara and Nithya Menen which has held everyone’s curiosity for the longest time. So the internet went berserk on Sunday when the teaser of the film was finally unveiled marking the 50th birthday of Chiyaan Vikram. The trailer was nothing short of a Hollywood film in terms of class and camera work. It received rave reviews from celebs, fans and critics alike. So it was a double bonanza of sorts for the actor who celebrated his birthday in style.

Arvind Swamy’s promotional campaign for Dear Dad

Kollywood veteran actor Arvind Swamy decided to make a comeback into Bollywood after a hiatus of over 15 years. He was part of a special promotional event for his upcoming film Dear Dad, where he had an interaction with the press. He talked about his reasons for quitting cinema, his tragic accident and amazing recovery, his difficulties as an introvert in an industry that requires you to be socially active, his interests as a technology expert and his passion for online gaming. He also let slip that he is personally working on two scripts which he plans to cast himself as the lead!

Introduction of Sudheer Babu by Baaghi team

Tollywood actor Sudheer Babu, who will be seen playing the villain in Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor’s Baaghi, was introduced to the B-town media for the very first time in a special event. Sudheer looked really dapper as he was clad in all black from head to toe. He personally introduced himself and said that he is indeed a relative of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Then he attended a series of interviews where he got candid about his favourite Bollywood films, his inspirations, difficulties of an actor rising up from an established film family and many more. His humble demeanour stumped everyone and he gained many admirers thanks to his promising looking performance and a super hot physique!

Tamannah Bhatia’s marriage rumours

Wednesday turned out to be a very shocking and stressful day for fans of beauty Tamannaah Bhatia, especially the guys. For it was rumoured that she is getting married with a software engineer no less and will even quit films post her wedding. While fans were almost heartbroken, Tamannaah came forward and completely rubbished such rumours and said that the day she finds someone like that, she will tell the whole world and not keep be secretive about it. The Baahubali actress even went on to a Twitter rant and called these rumours shameful, laughable and disgusting!

Release of Allu Arjun’s Sarrainodu

After months of excitement, the Allu Arjun starrer Sarrainodu finally hit the screens today. It had a worldwide release and fans crowded the theaters from early morning and it was nothing short of a carnival for the fans of Stylish Star. The movie was a complete masala entertainer and it received mixed to positive reviews from everyone. However, in terms of collections, it already faced a little dip on the opening day and the actor will be anxious to make this film a commercial success.

On the whole, it was a very hot and happening week for the South film industry as many Telugu actor’s name came in highlight. But Arvind Swamy is also making the news this time around. It was a also a good week in the sense that other than the Tamannaah’s marriage rumour, no other major controversy took place. So that wraps up our week that was feature for the South Indian film industry. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from down under only on BollywoodLife.

The opening episode wa nothing short of fabulous

So the day that all fans of Kapil Sharma have been waiting for months has finally dawned. The first episode of the brand newThe Kapil Sharma Show aired today and as expected, it was every bit as awesome as we had hoped. It had all the right ingredients- Kapil Sharma’s smart wit and sharp tongue, combination of Kiku Sharda, Sunil Grover and Ali Asgar and Shah Rukh Khan of course! But there a few moments that were so great that they defined the entire pilot episode. So let us take a look at 5 super awesome moments from The Kapil Sharma Show…

Presence of SRK

Any show becomes that much more engaging and entertaining when King Khan is in it. And The Kapil Sharma Show was no exception. His charm, cool demeanour and ability to counter Kapil with witty comebacks made the show even better. Be it Shah Rukh’s Dilliwala reference, cracking jokes on himself, or saying real witty things about current affairs, his presence itself breathed new life into the show. He even recited his famous romantic dialogues from Jab Tak Hai Jaan verbatim. Truly, you need no other entertainment if you are watching Shah Rukh Khan.

Sunil Grover’s act of policewoman and Jabra Fan

Coming rather towards the end of the show, the multi talented Sunil Grover entered the stage as a policewoman. His super funny answers to Kapil’s questions and the convincing way in which he said it will make you feel like you are watching an actual cop from Delhi. But that was just the beginning, he later danced with King Khan on Gerua and then he even overshadowed the Badshah for a few moments when he suddenly changed from a policewoman to Gaurav Chandna (Jabra Fan) look alike in a matter of seconds. Watching Sunil and Shah Rukh dance side by side on the Jabra Fan song gave us unbelievable happiness.

Ali Asgar as Begum

While Kapil is always hilarious and there were plenty of light moments in the beginning few minutes, the hilarity of the entire show increased manifold when Ali Asgar made an amazing entry. He came charging in as a middle aged woman running and mingling with the crowd. Then he went and sat right next to Anurag Thakur and said such as an epic one liner  that it made our stomachs ache with laughter. While that was good, it got even better when Begum went on stage and participated in crazy shenanigans with SRK.

Kiku Sharda as Nawab

No comic sketch is complete without a few characters. While Begum act was amazing by itself, it became even more entertaining when Kiku Sharda joined Ali Asgar on stage as Nawab. What followed was rib tickling exchange between Nawab and Begum that finally ended with Kiku slamming a cake on Ali’s head and Ali chasing Kiku all the way out of the venue. Truly, the entire bonding and comic timing of all the members of the show was nothing short of amazing.

Kapil Sharma

Last but not the least, the man of the moment Kapil Sharma himself was the biggest plus. The way he returned with his super funny situational one liners made us feel as if the he never stopped performing after quitting Comedy Nights. He still had an amazing flow and comic timing that was very encouraging to watch. He was nothing short of a superstar himself as people literally cried tears of joy upon seeing their favourite comedian in the flesh. His bromance with Shah Rukh also made us really happy as fans of Kapil Sharma.

So these were the five best moments from the show, although every moment was super engaging. So what did you think of the pilot episode? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Yeah ladies. Get. Set. Drool!

So, lets face it. Varun Dhawan is quite an EYE CANDY. His wash board abs, just-the-right-amount of rippling muscles and that sinful, dimpled smile is enough to sweep you off your feet! The Dishoom star is extremely likeable, with both on screen and off screen personality and hence impresses everybody, from all age groups.

Vaurn is a people’s actor and has amazing fan following because of his attitude. The birthday boy always keeps his fans’ preferences in mind and believes in making films for them. He has been quoting saying, “When I sign a new film, I need to keep in mind the audience and their preferences. It has been a conscious decision, on my part, to consider what people want to see. I know that every film has a different audience, but my quest is to make that one film that appeals to everyone — whether that includes people sitting in some small village in Uttar Pradesh or someone who works in a corporate office in south Mumbai.”

Well, Varun plays a cop in his next, Dishoom with John Abraham, has been sporting perfect abs. He has a lot of action scenes in the flick and so, get ready to see him all hot and intense in the movie.

Here are few of Varun’s HOTTEST pics till date. If you not his fans before, you will be now after browsing through them!

Headphones on. Problems off.

We are back with another roundup of this week’s musical melodies to make your wait for the khooni Monday less painful. A song has stayed and just would not budge off the list, another has made a smashing entry. So you know the drill – plug in your earphones, and let’s rock.

Oye Oye (Azhar)

Haven’t we all been waiting for this song since we saw the trailer. Nargis Fakhri makes the epic entry walking in slow motion in the Emraan Hashmi’s Azhar trailer. The popular 90′s dance number in the film is just as good as its original and will definitely make you groove. The song is remixed by DJ Chetas and was originally helmed by Kalyan Ji and Anand Ji. Aditi Singh Sharma and Armaan Malik’s voice give the song the much required 2016 very aesthetically.

Ijazat (One Night Stand)

The Sunny Leone song is creating an uproar. It has already crossed 20 million views on Youtube. And this is the first time, Sunny’s song has reached this mark so early. The song is an out and out romantic track with a touch of sensuality and stars Tanuj Virwani alongside the actress. The music has been composed by Meet Bros, and the very beautifully sung by Arijit Singh. Shabbir Ahmed has penned the lyrics to give the song a soulful meaning.

Agar Tu Hota (Baaghi)

Weeks have gone by when there has been since a song from this Tiger Shroff Shraddha Kapoor starrer romantic action has not made it to the list. Agar Tu Hota is the new entry to the list. With its release, the song has garnered a massive fan following. Ankit Tiwari’s musical brilliance is magical. He not only lends his voice but also has composed the song. The song will surely make you miss your loved one.

Bol Do Na Zara (Azhar)

This song might be permanent in the list. The song composed by Amaal Malik will have you croon it the entire day. Nargis Fakhri and Emraan Hashmi feature in the video. Rashmi Virag pens perfect lyrics for Armaan Malik.

Superman (Zorawar)

Yo Yo Honey Singh is making his solo debut with Zorawar, and of course he won’t leave any stone unturned. He has composed one of the best raps of his career. The rap part will become an instant favourite. And the song will be requested to DJs at parties.

So until next week, enjoy these melodies and let us hear your suggestions in the comments section below.

You’re gonna get some serious shock after checking these pictures out! Read on…

The time we’ve all been waiting for is almost here. Game if Thrones fans are glued to Yify and other Torrent sites to hit download on the first copy of season six’s episode that surfaces. We too are just as excited as you are because, hello! It’s Game of Thrones after all! Ever since the makers killed off Jon Snow in season five, everyone (women in general) were left heartbroken. It felt like they lost the soul purpose in life when this tragedy took place. And of course, a lot of hatred was directed towards Alliser Thorne. But the truth remained the same that Jon was, in fact, dead. Just when I too had lost all hopes of watching the sixth season, came the trailer of it. Was I mind blown? Yaha!

Again the whole excitement surged to watch GoT. So while I googled about to check how everyone had been up to, it struck me, why not do a piece on what they actually look like in reality vs what they look on screen! Since the contrast is pretty vast from Emilia Clarke’s brunette reality turning into Daenerys’ luscious blonde hair. Even Lena Headey’s brunette look underwent a major transformation as she donned a blonde wig to fulfill Cersei’s Lannister traits. Those beauties aren’t the only ones who have had gone through some massive appearance changes to suit the character they are playing. Even some of the men like Jon Snow, Sandor Clegane, Stannis Baratheon and many others have worked on their looks to match with their characters. And these reel vs real pictures are surely gonna give you goosebumps so without waiting any further, I present to you, the real faces of Game of Thrones actors!

Arya Stark vs Maisie Williams

Cersei Lannister vs Lena Headey

Danaerys Targaryen vs Emilia Clarke

Jon Snow vs Kit Harrington

Margaery Tyrell vs Natalie Dormer

Melisandre vs Carice Van Houten

Oberyn Martell vs Pedro Pascal

Sansa Stark vs Sophie Turner

Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane vs Rory McCan

So what do you think? Aren’t they totally rad in reality while decked up on screen? What are your thoughts, BollywoodLifers? Tell us in the comments section below!

Its the actor’s birthday and this is our gift to him! Check out the complete list here.

From the time Varun Dhawan entered Bollywood, he has been every teenage girl’s heartthrob! Be it his insanely cute chocolate-boy looks or his intense acting , he is and will always remain every girl’s favourite boy next door. The Dishoom actor, who turns 29 today, not only looks young as ever but we’re quite sure that after a few years down the line, he’ll still be able to maintain the charming face. He entered Bollywood with a big bang and clearly has managed to maintain that position even now. In fact, we believe that he is one actor you should be careful of because of his smart movie choices so far.

Varun’s films have always done superbly at the box office and he has also received critical acclaim for the same. With a lot of movies in his kitty including Hollywood’s upcoming superhero flick, Captain America: Civil War Hindi dub (he plays CapAm, btw), this guy is gonna make 2016 one helluva year! With already one Hollywood movie in his record, wouldn’t it be super cool if he got to do a lot of other remakes of some sort? Because we already know that he’s a bloody chameleon who can get in the skin of any character. So having him be a part of these Hollywood film remakes would be quite awesome! Check it out below!

Star Wars: A New Hope

Varun as the young Luke Skywalker is something I can totally picture! The first trilogy of Star Wars anyways has Luke evolve from an immature boy to a mature adult. Coincidentally even Varun has grown a lot from his first film up to now so I believe he would rock it.

Mission Impossible franchise

I know Shah Rukh is Bollywood’s Tom Cruise but the recent past has proven that the baton can easily be passed on to Varun because of his personality and stand in the industry! Plus, he is doing Dishoom now so being an undercover agent won’t be a new thing for him.

American Psycho

If he can be a sadist in Badlapur, I think American Psycho would be child’s play for him. Now I know he’d have to fill in Christian Bale’s shoes but when has Varun failed our expectations?

Dirty Dancing

I cannot imagine anyone else to do the role of Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing than Varun Dhawan! He’s got the charm, moves and the ability to make any chick fall for him.

Neighbors

He has already acted as a college sophomore in Student of The Year and Main Tera Hero so being the head of a sorority house (I.e. Zac Efron’s role in Neighbors) and bringing the house down wouldn’t be a tough challenge for him.

17 Again

I don’t know but maybe there’s a boyish charm to Varun that instantly reminds me of Zac Efron. And hence comes another suggestion from the HSM famed actor, 17 Again! Although the story is quite similar to 13 Going on 30 but Varun’s good looks and boyish charm will easily win hearts in this light drama.

Avengers movies

And finally, having already bagged the dubbed role of Captain America: Civil War, I would definitely like to see him actually play CapAm if a Hindi remake of the film is ever made!

What are your thoughts BollywoodLifers? Tell us in the comments section below. And do not forget to wish Varun on his birthday!

The actor celebrated his parents anniversary last night…

Though Hrithik Roshan is going through a tough time due to his ongoing legal battle with alleged ex-lover Kangana Ranaut, the actor isn’t let him or his family get affected. A few weeks back, we saw him celebrate his elder son – Hrihaan’s (Ray’s) birthday with his whole family. And even though now that his case against Kangana is getting uglier by the day, Hrithik still is his cheerful self. He celebrated his parent’s,  Rakesh and Pinky Roshan’s 45th anniversary last night and even shared a picture of the celebrations.

We can the married couple smiling as they cut they cake and fed it to each other in the presence of son (Hrithik Roshan), daughter (Sunaina), brother (Rajesh Roshan) and Rajesh’s children (Eshaan and Pashnima). However, what was SURPRISING was the caption for the image and the subsequent message.

Hrithik spoke about commitment and love when he tweeted, “When love is a commitment,d commitment can create more love. 45years! #laughterBestwithFamily thank u al 4 ur wishes.”

He then took a dig at the people who have been talking behind his back after his case with Kangana intensified. He spoke about believing in yourself as he tweeted, “When people call u names, d universe is not testing wether u can prove them wrong. It’s testing your own belief in ur own name. #knowUrName”

Though all this comes at a time when Hrithik is embroiled in a legal mess with an alleged ex girlfriend, the meaning of the message is deep and very true. And it will surely make you connect with the superstar and fall in love with him. Check out the tweet below and tell us what do you think about them in the comments section below!

She won the award for her international project – Madly…

Radhika Apte is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood. Though she hasn’t starred in any BIG films, she has proven her acting skills with Badlapur, Hunterrr and Manjhi. But surprisingly, the actress did not win an award for a Bollywood film but an international project. Yes, Radhika Apte bagged the Best Actress award in the International Narrative Feature Film category at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21. When asked how she felt about it, she told IANS, “The win has not sunk in yet.”

Radhika won the award for the Clean Shaven segment in Madly, which is a global anthology film featuring innovative love stories from some of the world’s most visionary directors. Madly has six segments in it and it was Anurag Kashyap who directed Clean Shaven. The segment also features actors like Adarsh Gourav and Satyadeep Misra. If you remember this is the same film, which ran into controversy, after a nude clip of the actress was leaked online.

But, it seems the controversy is behind everyone and after the competition winners were announced, Radhike was very happy. “I was ecstatic when I heard about receiving the Best Actress award. It has not sunk in yet. I am extremely thankful to my director for giving me this opportunity. This is definitely very encouraging,” Radhika told IANS.

That’s not it but! She was also co-awarded the Best Actress honour with actresses Tannishtha Chatterjee, Surveen Chawla and Lehar Khan for their work in Parched at the 14th annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) earlier this month.

So it looks like a double celebration for Radhika Apte! Congratulations on the win! Also check out what Radhika Apte told BollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY about the nude video clip in the video right here:

These celebrities make a strong style statement

The most important staple for many followers of the entertainment industry are airport pictures of celebrities. So, here is one such dose of super cool pictures of a few actors and actresses who were spotted at the Mumbai international airport.

Young actress Athiya Shetty, the bold and beautiful Kalki Koechlin, Housefull 3 actor Riteish Deshmukh, Parineeti Chopra, veteran actress Shabana Azmi, Sonali Bendre and veteran music composer Bappi Lahiri were spotted about the airport as they went about their busy schedules.

Athiya, who has often been compared to Sonam Kapoor for her fashion sense was the best dressed of the lot, even if she was in casual wear. The Hero actress rocked a light blue torn jeans, with a black top and a khaki overcoat. Her black boots perfectly complimented her attire and she looked beautiful as usual.

Kalki took casual dressing to another level as she appeared in a very baggy pair of black Adidas track pants, a white top with a black jacket on top and white sneakers. To complete the cool look, she also sported a super awesome pair of black shades. Parineeti was seen in a much more brighter attire than the first two as she wore blue denims, pink top and white sneakers. To make her appearance even more brighter, she wore a super colourful flower patterned overcoat. Riteish was all about simplicity as he arrived in a white kurta pyjama that gave him a very dignified appearance. Also, looks like he was reading the Higo Higashino’s mystery novel, Journey Under The Midnight Sun.

Sonali Bendre looked really graceful of the lot in a bluish grey skirt and a white button down shirt with white sneakers. Sonali pulled off the casual look superbly. In the end, there was also Bappi Lahiri, who was wearing all his usual bling.

One can truly learn a thing or two about casual fashion from these celebs!

The first song of the film is out and we have to say it is very trendy…

The makers of Housefull are back with a bang and they proved it by grabbing everyone’s attention after releasing the Housefull 3 trailer. The goal was to make the franchise bigger and better and it seems the makers are moving in the right direction. After launching the trailer simultaneously in over 100 cities, the makers have now launched the first song of the film. Generally, songs of a particular film are launched at an event a few days or weeks post the release of the trailer, but it seems that the Housefull 3 team is very different and they will go all out to promote their film.

The first song of the film – Pyaar Ki was released and the first impression is simply MIND BLOWING! The song and the music is very catchy and after listening to it once, you wish to hear it again and again. But that’s not it! The lyrics are also very trendy and hilarious, for instance the Baba Black sheep rhyme is also incorporated in to the song. Apart from all this, the locales and visuals look stunning too, which we also saw in the Housefull 3 trailer.

The song features all six lead actors - Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh and Lisa Haydon. The music is produced and sung by Shaarib & Toshi and we have to give them credit for this FABULOUS song. Directed by the director duo Sajid-Farhad, Housefull 3 is all set to release on June 3, 2016. Till then check out the first song – Pyaar Ki from the film right here:

SRK might have no option but to release his much awaited film in 2017, here’s why!

Shah Rukh Khan has been hunting for a good date for the release of Raees. He does not wish to clash with Salman Khan-starrer Sultan on Eid. Obviously, he wants to come on a festival/holiday date because that means bigger collections at the box-office. Unfortunately, those dates are booked in advance, so this time, it looks like a clash is inevitable.

According to an insider, “Shah Rukh is looking to postpone his film to 2017. He wants the date, January 26. But there is another film on that date. Hrithik Roshan’s home production Kaabil, directed by Sanjay Gupta. SRK has had a word with the Roshans. There are not many choices left. And he cannot indefinitely postpone the film. He has to take a call soon.”

Earlier, SRK was considering the July date with Dishoom starring Varun Dhawan, but then he changed his mind. It was suggested to the star that he ask Karan Johar to move ahead from his Diwali date, so he could release his film on that day, because his films have always worked during the Festival of Lights. But that option was not feasible. There were also some murmurs about how King Khan was looking at a Christmas release because Aamir’s Dangal was planning to move from that slot to the Republic Day weekend. But now, it is clear that Dangal will release on December 23, as announced, which leaves SRK with no option but to move to January 2017.

The legendary athlete wants the authorities to REMOVE Salman from the post and appoint a sportsperson instead!

There has been a mixed response from the sport industry over the appointment of Salman Khan as the Goodwill Ambassador for Rio Olympics, Indian Contingent. Along with wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, ‘The Flying Sikh’ Milkha Singh too has condemned his appointment and has taken the Indian Olympic Association to task  for their decision.

Singh wants the Sultan star to be removed from the post as he urges the association to appoint a sportsperson instead. He told Mumbai Mirror, ““I am of the view that our sportspersons; be those from shooting, athletics, volleyball or other sports, they are the real ambassadors of India who would represent the country in the Olympics. Still, if we had to pick an ambassador, it could have been from the sporting arena.”

He made his displeasure very obvious as he said, “India has produced so many sportspersons who have given their sweat and blood for the country like PT Usha, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Ajit Pal and so many others. One of these could have been made a good will ambassador. What was the need to import a person from Bollywood?.”

While he is against the decision of making Salman the brand ambassador he maintained that he has nothing person against the Sultan actor. He added, ” I want to make it clear that I am not against Salman Khan, but the decision of the IOA is wrong and the government should intervene in the matter. This is for the first time I am seeing a Bollywood hero being made goodwill ambassador for Olympics. I want to ask has Bollywood ever made any sportsperson an ambassador for any of their mega event?”

Now we all knew how obsessed this lady was with the co-star of hers in the past. No wonder her beau is sweating hard on imagining his girlfriend with this other stud even if it means it’s just for work…

Their love story has gone through several ups and downs in the past thanks to the actress’ past affairs. The actor we hear is nervous that his heroine girlfriend will be spending over a month with this hottie for whom she had feelings in the past. While the latter is already in a committed relationship stories of the actress obsession for the hero is well known in the industry. The actress’ boyfriend shared a very cordial equation with this other hero in the past, but now that he and the heroine are an item there seems to be a slight discomfort.

The actress we hear was so obsessed with this hero that she would constantly message and call him in the past when the duo was working together. However, when the actor’s girlfriend found out she threw a fit and the young beauty was blocked. Things soured between the two so much that they barely acknowledged each other. But it seems like they are both thorough professionals and did not turn down offers to work together. Their chemistry on screen is sizzling and has always resulted in a HIT! The actress’ boyfriend is worried that their on screen chemistry might just kick-start their off screen rapport too.

Industry insiders who suggested that this couple was going strong now feel otherwise. In fact recent news suggested that they might call it quits as they have been fighting a lot lately. Buzz is also that it is not just this ex crush that the hero was insecure about, but he wasn’t too pleased with the undue attention and time that his ladylove was showering this married co-star of hers. He even had a tiff with his girlfriend’s ex-lover before at a social gathering and wasn’t too pleased with his lady’s niceness towards her former BF.

Now that his girlfriend will be going for a long outdoor shoot with her crush the actor is visibly unhappy. Does that mean he will be accompanying his ladylove to the shoots? Well, we will know that once they start rolling. No wonder this couple was missing from a starry bash that this young star threw recently despite both of them having worked with him in the past. Is the couple keeping safe distance already?
