Finally, Bahaubali 2’s first look was unveiled at MAMI movie mela with SS Rajamouli, Prabhas, Tamannaah Bhatia, producer Shobu in attendance. the minute they entered, the crowd went crazy, they screamed till they were hoarse. Bahaubali fans form Mumbai, couldn’t believe that the cats form one of the biggest war films was right before them! They spoke at length about what it like working, directing and producing for one a magnum Opus like this one. In fact, they let out quite a few surprising facts and also made some epic statements, a la Baahubali style. Check it out –

#There will definitely be Baahubali 3. Like SS Rajamouli said, there are so many stories yet to be told, the two parts are just the tip of the ice berg.

#The secret to Why Katappa Killed Bahaubali has never come out in all these years because SS Rajamouli has a loyal team! Yes, that’s how Anushka Shetty puts it. The team’s fierce loyalty to the genius filmmaker is what stops them.

#SS Rajamouli revealed that this morning, when he was waiting in a lift, a bellboy was spotted  staring at him. A little later, he asked “Are you Katappa?” and Rajamouli was like yes! Haha!

#There is a similarity between Amarendra Baahubali and Prabhas – Both of them care about their people.

#SS Rajamouli revealed that Baahubali 2 is not a sequel but a continuation to the story.

#Bahaubali has changed the way Tamannaah Bhatia looks at herself. SS Rajamouli has influenced her a lot. In fact, she went on to say – “Now whenever I have to do difficult, I am like, I have done Baahubali, I can do anything.”

#When asked how many films, Prabhas had to give up for this Magnum Opus, he went on to say 1 Baahubali = 100 films. True that! Prabhas has only a few words to say, but when he does speak up, he hits bull’s eye.

#According to SS Rajamouli, he is a great story teller who can blow someone away with his storytelling skills but when it comes filmmaking, he has 10,000 doubts for every scene.

#In Bahaubali 2, the script, narrative hasn’t changed. Only the action sequences have been amped up and tightened.

#Because of the action scenes and sequences, Prabhas had to go through a shoulder surgery. Because of which he had to take a break for a bit. When he sort of trivialised the injury, Tamannaah went on to say – “He’s just making it seem small, he’s pretty damaged everywhere.”

#Tamannaah revealed,”Nothing can stop a Bahaubali shoot.” She also  stated that nobody else could have played Prabhas. He plays the part with such passion and he always has a smile on his face.

5 reasons why we love Prabhas from Baahubali

On July 10 2015, a phenomenon took place in the form of a historical movie – Baahubali. It changed the face of cinema along with turning around all the involved actor’s lives. Prabhas  who was a known face only in Telugu cinema became a global star. His portrayal as Baahubali received rave reviews, so much so he became synonymous to Rajamouli’s Magnum Opus. In his words, ‘it’s a role of a lifetime’ and three years of hard work have more than paid off in form of record breaking collections. Today is this very star’s birthday. While everyone will always remember him for his role in Baahubali, there is a lot more to Prabhas that we love. So here we go:

Committed: After a commercial hit like Mirchi, Prabhas took the path less trodden, and chose SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali. It was no ordinary film, as it required three years from Prabhas. That’s exactly 1095 days! So he was off the screen during that period only for a single movie. This kind of commitment is what distinguishes him from other actors. Clearly, his dedication and commitment to this historical drama has paid off and how.

Humility – Even after he became a global star, his humility has remain untouched. All this fame hasn’t changed Prabhas the person. His down to earth persona is what adds to his charm. He continues to maintain a low-profile and the fact that he is off the radar makes him an alluring personality.

Social media – In a world where stars are so easily available via social media, Prabhas chooses to keep away. The fact that he doesn’t follow the herd sets him apart and we love that. The social media frenzy has not got to him yet and we hope it remains that way. Because we love that about him!

Acting skills – He was the star of Baahubali! Even though it’s been more than a year since the first part, one can gush about him even now! Nobody else could have played Baahubali and nobody else should have either. Because he owned that role, completely. Right from the shocking physical transformations to his mannerisms, Prabhas bought Baahubali alive!

Hot – Well, when he went through a drastic physical transformation for the historical drama, his hotness quotient doubled! Lean lanky actor gone, enter smoking hot Prabhas with six pack abs and broad shoulders. He looked like he was ready to kill and he did actually. Prabhas the star became Prabhas the hottie.

Now a lot has been reported about Ranbir Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez’ secret affair. Although we at BollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY revealed to you that their dating rumours aren’t true but the fact that everyone’s still talking about it and cannot stop linking the two has eventually made them the hot topic of discussion right now. However, if you thought this in return is going to affect their friendship, then sorry guys! Ranbir- Jacqueline are not here to ruin their relationship on the basis of such baseless rumours and tonight’s Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9 episode proved just that. Yes! Also read: Ranbir Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez’ link up is all thanks to this mischief-monger – read EXCLUSIVE details

While Ranbir came solo on Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa 9 to promote Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. All eyes were obviously glued on him for he looked so damn charming. But what’s more is how he even bonded with Jacqueline paying no heed to the link up rumours. I mean, nowhere did they look a tad uncomfortable in each other’s company. In fact, Ranbir not only sat next to Jacqueline but even engaged in healthy flirting with the beauty by saying out loud and clear that, “Jacqueline pe sirf mera haq hai”. Not kidding! This really happened! Can you believe it?

The above was just half the unlimited fun Ranbir and Jacqueline had together on Jhalak tonight. Not to mention, Karan Johar later also wanted Ranbir to dance with Jacqueline on Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s title track. But bringing out a kahani mein twist, Ranbir then decided to put up some sensuous moves with his partner in crime Manish Paul instead, leaving Jacqueline alone. But of course, it was all in the jest of it and the moments that Ranbir and Jacqueline shared on Jhalak were truly adorable.

Talking about the performances by the Jhalak contestants, Shantanu stole our heart with his super romantic act. In fact, he even went down on his knees for Jacqueline with all his heart. All in all, tonight’s episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9 was all about putting our ‘Dils in Mushkil’ with Ranbir, Jacqueline and everyone else putting their best foot forward.

They get shocked and rush to see Pihu. Mrs. Bhalla says I m your Dadi and caretaker in school you can tell me. Amma applies ointment to her hand. Pihu request them not tell Raman as Shagun has told her not to tell anyone Mrs. Bhalla says I won’t say, he is already worried, tell me if you need anything. Pihu says okay and goes.

After talking to Pihu, Mrs. Bhalla cries and says Shagun is enemy, she does not take care of Pihu, she can’t be called a mother. Another shot shows Mihika where she is  thinking about Adi and Aaliya.  She collides with a little boy and says sorry. The lady happens to be Mihikaâs college friend. Mihika . She asks is this your son, he is so cute, you had child so soon. Kanika says I was troubled and could not say anything. Mihika asks her to come and talk to discuss her problems.

Mikhika  asks how can your husband do this, men feel women is property, you should have left him before. Kanika asks how, my son was there, my husband threatened me to leave my son, I can’t leave my son with my husband, he is a Casanova, case was tough, I won custody case, now I m happy with my son. Mihika says I m so sorry, I did not do so much happened with you, you did right. Kanika says this happened because of my lawyer. Mihika asks whats your lawyer’s name. Kanika says Kunal Sethi.

When Raman and Mani asked Adi as to why did they do this Adi says Dadi was going back because of me as she was angry with all of us so we went to cancel her train tickets as we didn’t want her to leave. After hearing all this, Ishita says Adi and Aaliya are my children and I have given them these values. You have doubted on my family, relations, upbringing. Our relations are different and so is our marriage but that does not mean our meaning or relation changes. This is not done Dadi has blamed all of us. Mani is my childhood friend we were raised together. This is the most purest form of relation that can exist where 2 broken lives have raised such great kids and make one happy family. It hurts that Raman has never pointed or raised finger on me like this but have just trusted me in return.

Aaliya and Adi hug Dadi. Adi says Dadi, I won’ t meet Aaliya till the time you accept me, I can’t lose you for Aaliya. Ishita asks Dadi did you see and hear. Dadi says yes, I m hearing since long, but people won’t listen, Balaa.

Dadi says you have to do something, I have no problem with Adi and Aaliyaâ€marriage.. Aaliya thanks Dadi. Dadi says wait, Raman and Ishita have to do something. Raman says we agree to everything. Mani says yes, whatever you want. Dadi says I don’t want Aaliya to go in such house where her Saas-Sasur are living together without marriage, so Ishita and Raman have to marry again with all rituals. Raman says our marriage happened. Dadi says you stayed with Shagun, Mani stayed with Ishita, you have to show people you are husband and wife. Raman asks why to prove. Dadi says I don’t want anyone to point on Aaliya, she is my pride, this is important for me.

Mani asks Ishita and Raman to marry again, if this makes Dadi happy. Adi and Aaliya ask them to agree for their sake. Raman asks Ishita what do you want.

The Kapil Sharma Show: Ranbir Kapoor’s donkey laugh, Anushka Sharma’s self entertainment – 9 highlights of tonight’s show

The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil episode continued today on The Kapil Sharma Show. Yesterday we saw Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sharing a lot of interesting behind-the-scene stories. And, today we had Ranbir Kapoor, Kapil Sharma and Anushka Sharma having a laugh riot at the show. Here are some highlights from tonight’s episode –

#Karan Johar’s love for acting 

Anushka and Ranbir revealed how much their director Karan Johar loves playing the heroine’s part while briefing them for the scenes. Anushka said that she used to reach the sets to the sight of Karan romancing Ranbir! Ranbir added that Karan is a huge sucker for awards and that he was expecting one for Bombay Velvet!

#What kept Anushka Sharma warm in the extreme weather conditions of Austria

So Anushka had to shoot for a song sequence with Ranbir for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in a chiffon saree on a glacier. She had mentally prepared herself for it but when she actually reached on the top of the glacier, she realised that it’s not going to be an easy task. But then she saw Ranbir, who was wearing three-layered clothes and was covered head to toe, shivering and saying “it’s too cold”. This got Anushka so infuriated that her body became warm enough to sustain the freezing cold waves. Funny, isn’t it ?

#Ranbir Kapoor’s donkey smile

Anushka introduced us to a lesser-known-fact about Ranbir. She exposed his donkey laugh! Yes, we saw that in today’s episode. Who could have thought that someone with a face like his would have a smile like that! It was hilarious. We are sure Ranbir would have done this to Anushka after she revealed his secret on national television.

#How he pulls of such intense looks..mystery resolved!

He shared a really funny secret of his on the show. He feels that because of some abnormal bone location below his eyebrows, he looks serious all the time! So now we know how does he pull off those intense looks, right ?

#Where did Anushka and Ranbir met first

So for all those who wanted to know where did these two meet first, it was at a gym!

#The irony that Ranbir, who doesn’t have a great voice according to Anushka, plays a rockstar in his films

Anushka feels that Ranbir has a terrible voice and it’s just by fluke that he gets to play rock star in his films. Anushka revealed that his voice is so bad that during the shoot of Rockstar he had to ask for extra speakers to listen to the original track and sabotage his own voice. However Ranbir clarified that the only time he played an actual rockstar was in Imtiaz Ali’s film Rockstar. He says Ayaan, his character in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, is not a rockstar. Ayaan is a MBA student who is interested in music.

#Anushka’s trick of getting out gossip from people

Anushka doesn’t drink but she surely enjoys listening to drunk people’s confessions. In order to get out gossip from them she often acts as if she is drunk too. Woa…who would have thought that someone with such an innocent face could do that, right!

#Ranbir is an all-India-radio

Ranbir is really bad at keeping secrets to himself. This is why Anushka never tells him anything. However Ranbir has his own ways of finding out secrets as he totally enjoys indulging in gossiping.

#Dadu’s dig at the Jag Ghoomeya step

Just watch this as I don’t want to ruin it by describing it!

Anushka and Ranbir share a great bond with each other. Had it not been this episode, we would have never come to know of their camaraderie. Anushka said she is most comfortable with Ranbir. She doesn’t know what it is but they have something which makes them very comfortable in each other’s company. Ranbir feels it’s the respect they have for each other that comes out in their on screen chemistry. Can’t wait to see them in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil now!

Priyanka Jagga is the most hated contestant of Bigg Boss 10, proves this poll result

The first elimination of Bigg Boss 10 has happened and the viewers can’t be anymore happy for Priyanka Jagga, who earned a lot of hatred, thanks to her disgusting and rude behaviour, has been thrown out of the glass walled house. Right from peeing in her pants and asking celebrity contestant Bani J to wash them to getting into an abusive argument with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame Rohan Mehra, Priyanka did everything possible to get the attention of the viewers, but clearly all her antics didn’t go down too well with the masses because of which she has been shown the exit door.

As soon as we came to know about her elimination, we conducted a poll on our Twitter page asking our readers if they are happy with Priyanka’s eviction from Bigg Boss 10 and well, we weren’t surprised with the results. Check them out:

Poll-Results

This clearly shows that the viewers of the high voltage reality show are rejoicing over her elimination right now. But looks like this happiness might not last very long, because word has it that Priyanka might be back inside the house real soon. Yes, we already told you that after she was evicted, her cutout has been placed in the garden and the washroom area of the house, which is definitely quite fishy.

Plus, as you will already know, celebrity contestants were the sevaks inside the house because of which they had to sleep on joint beds. However, we told you how the tables have turned and now the commoners are the sevaks. So this picture of a joint bed with Priyanka’s name written above it kind of confirms her re-entry.

While the whole of Sultanpur is cheering for its winner, the girl was accompanied to the finale by only her mother. “Papa, Sultanpur main voting sambhal rahe the,” she says. The girl comes from a family passionate about music. “My parents are music teachers. They run a music institute in Sultanpur. My brother sings very well too. They have taught me everything about music,” says Nishtha. The girl also says that she had to work really hard to bring out emotions in her voice. “I felt my toughest competition was from Mismi Bose and Shreya Basu from Shaan Sir’s team. Their voices got people emotional. Neeti didi told me to imbibe that quality. I improved so I won,” says the jubilant girl.

Kavya Limaye and Pooja Insa were the other two finalists with Nishtha on the show. “They had better experience of performing live than me. Moreover, they had huge fan following. I felt things were dicey during the semi-finals but then the whole of India voted for me. I want to thank everyone,” says she. Nishtha’s parents are into classical music but she wants to be a versatile performer. “I prefer semi-classical and classical songs but I can sing everything. My favourite is Asha Bhosale for her versatility. From semi classical to dance and light music, she knows it all,” says the winner. Nishtha is a huge fan of Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone but feels her voice will suit Alia Bhatt the best.

The team of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was in the show and Ranbir Kapoor’s honesty was impressed Nishtha. “He told us he wasn’t a great student and was quite lost about what he wanted to do in life. I found him honest and cute,” she says. She is a huge fan of all the songs from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Nishtha will be in Mumbai for a few more days. “I want to go sightseeing in the city. I have no idea how my schedule will be for next few days. As for now, it is time to party!,” she signs off. Stay tuned for more updates on Bollywood Life…

Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar visit the sets of Comedy Nights Bachao for the promotions of their upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The movie also featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma is set to release on October 28 this Diwali.

Ranbir Kapoor and Karan Johar enter the show dancing to the beats of The Break Up song from their upcoming film.  Ranbir definitely seems to love this song judging by the way he was dancing and enjoying it’s tunes. Ranbir probably was able to relate to the song which makes him enjoy it so much. While Mona, Bharti and Krishna join the duo, the contestants and audience cheers loudly for the two. RK was again sported with a jacket during promotions, seems like the actor has an obsession towards them. After a series of jokes on Karan Johar’s Bombay Velvet the director requested the cast to not mention the movie again and admits it was a mistake. We don’t blame him as the constant reminder of his unsuccessful film was bound to irritate the director.

On of the scenes which caught our attention was when Bharti sits on Karan Johar’s lap. To which Krishna said ” agar  5min aur yeh baithe na aapke goad mein toh Karan-Karan alag hojaega and Johar-johar alag”. Karan who seemed in a good mood replied to Krishna by saying “5min aur baithe toh waise he Johar khandaan ke sadasya aur aagay nahi badne walae..bad nahi sakta inke wajah se bikul nahi badegay”.  Was Karan Johar trying to drop a subtle hint regarding something?

Things get interesting when Bharti challenges Ranbir for lip syncing and Karan for dancing on those songs. The actor absolutely nailed the task. While Ranbir tries to lip sync to various songs, Karan dances on its beats happily along with Bharti. Their quirky moves on the show is something you can definitely not miss. Ranbir even complimented Bharti and said that he has been watching her for years now and has never been bored, that coming from Ranbir is surely huge. They even recreated the India’s Got Talent moments on the show by adding a judge panel where Karan, Ranbir and Bharti judged the comedians.

Krishna dances to ” Woh ladka hai dewaana ” from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to celebrate it’s 18th year in Bollywood. Not just that, the theme of their act was Anjali and Rahul’s life post marriage. This was surely our favourite act of the night and made us nostalgic. Though Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma were missing from the promotions the men gave us an entertainment packed episode. Watch the promo of Comedy Nights Bachao featuring Karan Johar and Ranbir Kapoor below. Also Read: Ranbir Kapoor caught in between a kiss on Shilpa Shetty’s show Super Dancer

Bigg Boss 10 24th October 2016 Episode 8 Live updates: Karan Mehra expresses his concern over Antara Biswas and Manoj Punjabi’s closeness

The first Weekend Ka Vaar episodes of Bigg Boss 10 were definitely high on entertainment. After all, we got to see host Salman Khan back on our TV screens after an entire week. Plus we saw former Bigg Boss contestant Kamya Punjabi bringing the house down with her analysis of the contestant. And to top it all, Priyanka Jagga, who was one of the hated commoners on the show was shown the exit door. All in all, the makers of the high voltage reality show made sure that the viewers are entertained throughout the weekend.

And now it is time for us to enter the second week of Bigg Boss 10. New nominations, new conspiracies and of course new fights. But if you are unable to watch tonight’s telecast, fret not! Because we have all the Live updates for you right here on BollywoodLife. Take a look:

Bigg Boss summoned every housemate in the Living area and announced that the comon folks have broken the primary rule of the house by discussing nominations amongst each other. Bigg Boss was quick enough to point out their mistake and as a punishment, he made the commoners the new sevaks, while the celebrities are crowned as the maaliks of the house. Wow, talk about things getting interesting.

Bigg Boss’s decision robbed commoners of happiness as they took up the responsibilities of sevaks and divided tasks amongst themselves. While they were seated at the dining table having lunch, Swami Omji Maharaj sat beside them and kept barging in their conversations. While at first, they did not pay much attention to him, his continuous blabber irked Rahul Dev and he asked him to leave. Swamiji found celebrities’ behavior  extremely rude and he went complaining about it to his team members. Yeah, right! We wonder what would he like to call his behaviour with Rohan Mehra…

Rahul Dev commands Swami ji to go and sit somewhere else

Soon after, another argument erupted between Manoj Manu Punjabi and Lokesh Kumari Sharma after he asked her to make tea for him. Lokesh asked Akansha Sharma for help, but it didn’t go down well with Manu. He tells Akansha that he specifically asked Lokesh to make tea for him and she should have told him upfront that she will not be able to do it  rather than delegating it to someone else. In her defense, Lokesh said that she asked for Akansha’s help because she wanted to have a bath before she could take up any kitchen responsibility.

Lokesh and Manoj's fight

Jab kitchen mein ye haal tha, there was another war of words happening in the garden area between Om Swami and Rohan. Now that Rohan is one of the maaliks of the Bigg Boss house, he made sure that he takes his revenge by punishing Om Swami, who refuses to oblige and threatened to leave the show. It didn’t end there. He goes to the camera and says that all the other contestants want to kill him. Yes, he actually said that. Funny guy, we must say.

While having a discussion with his fellow celebrity contestants, Karan Mehra expresses his concern over Mona Lisa and Manu’s growing closeness.

Cut to a new day when the housemates woke up dancing to the tunes of the song Yaad Aa Raha Hain marking the dawn of a new day. They were surprised to find  Jagga’s huge cutout placed in the garden area which further sparked several conversations.

The focus shifted to Manu and Mona Lisa again. In the morning, Karan told Mona that Manu is trying to get close to her while having a conversation and she needs to maintain a distance.  Mona later confronted Manu and told him what the celebrities feel about their friendship. Manu advised her to take decisions for hers own self and not to get manipulated by anyone.

The episode took a funny turn when all the housemates were teaching Om Swami to head bang. Yes, Swamiji was all being yo and we found it cute. That’s the only thing we found cute about him, just saying.

Later in the day, Bigg Boss announced nominations adding a new twist to it. In an open nomination, celebrities and commoners were required to nominate two members of the opposite team by smearing foam on their face. Yep! We have to give it to the creative team of the show for coming up with such ideas.

Manveer Gujjar, Manu, Nitibha Kaul and Akansha are nominated from the team common man, while Rohan, Gaurav Chopra, Mona Lisa from team celebrities are also in the danger zone this week.

After the nominations, a fight breaks between Manveer and Om Swami where he blames him for not standing up for the team and as a result, strong members of their team are getting nominated. He also adds that Swami is acting double faced and also backstabbing his own team members. Later in the day, Swami once again becomes  a topic of dispute after he has a heated argument with Navin Prakash on the dining table.

With tempers soaring and competition getting tougher in the Bigg Boss house, the show is definitely getting interesting. And as for tonight’s telecast, we will give it a Garma Garam on our Masala Meter.
