Abhishek Bachchan reacts after his Bob Biswas look got leaked, reveals he had to gain weight for the role

Abhishek Bachchan reacts after his Bob Biswas look got leaked, reveals he had to gain weight for the role

In the film, Abhishek plays a contract killer. In the pictures from the sets of the film, Abhishek was seen dressed in a plain blue full sleeves shirt and baggy trousers. He is wearing a pair of spectacles and has mid-parted hair. Speaking to a daily, the actor said that the paparazzi knew that they were going to shoot in Kolkata so they had gathered at the location with their cameras. He said that he would have loved the way if the look had been revealed during their marketing campaign as intended by director Annapurna Ghosh. But, the netizens’ reaction surprised him and gave an assurance that they are doing something right.

For the role, he had to gain weight as Bob Biswas’ character is portly. He said that he had to pile on kilos but maintaining the same frame was difficult during the lockdown. He further said that though they returned to the sets after nine months, it didn’t feel like it after the first day of shooting was done.

The film is a spinoff of Bob Biswas character essayed by Saswata Chatterjee in the film Kahaani starring Vidya Balan. The film is bankrolled by Gauri Khan, Sujoy Ghosh, and Gaurav Verma, a directorial debut for Diya Ghosh and written by Sujoy Ghosh.

Vir Das on his new show Inside Out

Vir Das is ready with a new show. It’s called Inside Out and it premiers on Netflix on December 16. Explaining the concept behind the show Vir says, “It started out just to raise money for different charities. I’d do an online show every night to raise money and give the ticket sales away. To warm up the audience I’d ask ‘what’s the first thing you’re going to do when the world is normal again?’. Suddenly people all over opened up about their dreams. And I knew this was a moment I needed to capture. So the entire show is a comedian asking people across the world that one question.”

Vir Das on his new show Inside Out

Vir says he enjoyed his lockdown period. “I’ve been a circus performer for the past decade, travelling seven months a year. So I’ve never had this kind of time at home. So it’s nice to have this pause. So far I’ve been regurgitating output for the past decade now I’ve time to ingest content. And I had really been ignoring the digital platform. So far I had done some stand-up on Netflix. But never played the YouTube or the Instagram game. I am just taking time off to put up some uplifting feel-good content on those two platforms.”

For the lockdown entertainment seekers Vir has daily treat. “I set up a show on zoom every night where I work way my backward through the day. It’s a 90-minute daily show with tickets sold and the proceeds going to various charities and causes, like Helpage, migrant workers, children with cancer.”

Vir feel the lockdown is the best thing that could have happened to contain the virus. “Absolutely I feel our central government and state ministers have done a really good job. Every country is marching to its own beat in this Corona crisis. India too is doing its own thing and the Government decided on the lockdown at the right time. But I would love to see more testing kits and better relief packages.”

How much would have Dil Bechara, Gulabo Sitabo, Gunjan Saxena and Shakuntala Devi earned at the box office? Trade gives its verdict

The Coronavirus-induced lockdown have ushered the era of ‘new normal’. As part of it, theatres shut and some of the prominent films, starring A-listers or reputed names, released directly on the streaming platforms. Once a film releases on an OTT giant, it becomes difficult to ascertain whether it has worked with audiences. The makers of these films and also the platform on which it was streamed can claim their film is a huge success but in the absence of box office numbers, anyone can claim what their heart pleases. This made us wonder – how would these films would have fared had there been no lockdown and had these films released in cinemas as scheduled?

Bollywood Hungama, in this special feature, shares the data analysis about the possible box office fate of the OTT films. The trade also shares their views on the same and one thing emerges very clearly – most of these films would have flopped or would have had a tough time if it had got a release in theatres.

NOTE – The box office data presented is for India box office only

1. Dil Bechara

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime : Rs. 12 to 15 crores

Verdict: Flop

Sushant Singh Rajput’s final film got a record viewership when it was made available to subscribers as well as non-subscribers on Disney+ Hotstar on July 24, post the tragic demise of the actor. However, if it had arrived in cinemas on May 8 as scheduled, it would have been a major disaster. For one, its trailer would have been dubbed by the social media as a poor copy of The Fault In Our Stars (2014), the Hollywood original. Secondly, May 8 fell in the holy month of Ramzan and also the day when two other films – Vidya Balan-starrer Shakuntala Devi and Parineeti Chopra-starrer The Girl On The Train would had also released. Thirdly, Sushant’s fan following before his death was not that insane, unfortunately. This was reflected in the shocking box office outcome of his 2019 dacoit drama Sonchiriya, which had a lifetime of just Rs. 5.95 crore, and this film was also a niche fare, just like Dil Bechara.

Trade Verdict: Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, “The curiosity to watch the film initially wasn’t there among the exhibition sector and the audience. But the sudden death of Sushant changed everything and the excitement to watch the film multiplied. Had it released in the normal circumstances, it would have been a word-of-mouth film.” Trade expert Komal Nahta feels it would have earned Rs. 20 to 25 crore. Trade analyst Atul Mohan’s prediction is lower, “Dil Bechara got viewership because of the sympathy wave. Its lifetime would not have been more than Rs. 15 crore.” Girish Johar, film trade and business analyst, disagrees and states, “Dil Bechara would have definitely crossed the half century mark. The film was overall liked. The trailer and the music also had worked. So it could have collected around Rs. 60 crore.”

 

2. Lootcase

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime: Rs. 4 to 6 crores

Verdict: Flop

Kunal Kemmu, Ranvir Shorey and Vijay Raaz were in top form in this comic caper and it had some hilarious moments that kept the interest going. But, it wouldn’t have been a non-starter because Kunal, sadly, is not a crowd puller. Also, it was to release on April 10, the day when one of the biggest films of the year, ’83, was also scheduled to release. Despite good word of mouth, Lootcase would have got overpowered by the Ranveer Singh-starrer and would have sunk without a trace.

Trade Verdict: Taran Adarsh believes, “Releasing a film with ’83 would have been a wrong decision as that film would have taken away majority of the screens. Hence, Lootcase would have got unnoticed. As it often happens, if the word of mouth is good, the footfalls do increase over the weekend. But with such a mighty opponent, it gets very difficult to sustain.” Komal Nahta in agreement states, “Although it was a good film, it would have been crushed under the weight of ’83. Such films, anyway, don’t open. It would have collected Rs. 8-10 crore.” Atul Mohan minces no words as he reacts, “Lootcase loot jaati had it clashed with ’83! The makers themselves were not confident. They had pushed it for a long time and in between, they had given a statement that it’ll release on OTT. Then, they backtracked and then again, they decided to release it digitally due to the lockdown. It was a good move though. Viewers also enjoyed as it was a light entertainer. In the absence of face value, audiences would not have come to theatres. The lifetime earnings would have been Rs. 7-8 crore.” Girish Johar however feels, “Lootcase was appreciated and it did get traction on digital. So it could have done anywhere between Rs. 25-30 crore.”

 

3. Gulabo Sitabo

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime: Rs. 25 to 30 crores

Verdict: Flop

Shoojit Sircar’s previous films with Ayushmann Khurrana and Amitabh Bachchan like Vicky Donor (2012) and Piku (2015) were successes. Gulabo Sitabo, starring both of them together, also seemed in the same zone. But the film had little to offer and barring the climax, was an underwhelming product. This would have affected its box office outcome.

Trade Verdict: Taran Adarsh opines, “Shoojit Sircar has a loyal audience, especially among the multiplexes. Same with Ayushmann Khurrana – he enjoys goodwill among that section of viewers. Hence, Gulabo Sitabo would have taken a tremendous start. But it would have remained a multiplex-oriented film.” Komal Nahta pegs the lifetime in the Rs. 35-40 crore range. Atul Mohan explains, “Gulabo Sitabo’s overall packaging was very interesting. The unusual title and makeover of both the leads would have aroused curiosity. But the film was not upto the mark. It would have opened in the Rs. 5-7 crore range. The weekend collections would have been Rs. 15-18 crore and lifetime Rs. 20-25 crore.” Girish Johar too feels the same, “It was meant for premium audience. Its content was not that appreciated. So it would have had earnings in the Rs. 20-25 crore range.”

 

4. Shakuntala Devi

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime: Rs. 25 to 30 crores

Verdict: Flop

This biopic, starring Vidya Balan, had some very heartwarming and confrontational sequences and would have made for a great watch for families and ladies. It was a mother-daughter story and was scheduled to release in the Mother’s Day week. These factors would have taken its lifetime in the Rs. 25-30 crore mark. However, outside the metros, it would have struggled to find audiences.

Trade Verdict: Taran Adarsh feels this film had a chance in cinemas, “Shakuntala Devi could have been the surprise package. People didn’t really expect much from Vidya Balan’s Tumhari Sulu (2017) as well and it exploded.” He adds, “Shakuntala Devi boasts of a towering performance by Vidya and also Amit Sadh and Sanya Malhotra. Also, the makers have recreated the era very beautifully.” But Komal Nahta states it could have had a lifetime of only Rs. 20 crore. Girish Johar roughly agrees, “Shakuntala Devi could have minimum done Rs. 25 crore. The mother-daughter relationship was shown well.” But Atul Mohan feels Shakuntala Devi would have had a lifetime of just Rs. 10-12 crore. He explains, “The film was not inspiring. Vidya has played strong parts in the past but here, that was not the case. Shakuntala was shown as a selfish and self-obsessed woman. Audiences would not have accepted it.”

 

5. Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime: Rs. 55 to 60 crores

Verdict: Hit

This was probably the only OTT release that had a chance to score at the box office, notwithstanding the objection raised by Indian Air Force. In 112 minutes, it packed in a lot and also boasted of a powerpacked performance from Janhvi Kapoor.

Trade Verdict: Atul Mohan states, “Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl could have worked. It was the better made film out of all the other OTT releases. It got good reviews and even most of the audiences liked it. The lifetime would have been more than Rs. 50 crore.” Even Komal Nahta liked the film and felt that it could have earned Rs. 55-60 crore. Taran Adarsh however says, “Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl would have aroused curiosity as it was the second film of Janhvi Kapoor. Having said that, I feel that the controversy that followed would have affected the film theatrically.” Girish Johar also believes the controversy would have put off viewers, “It was the first time that the person, on whom a film is based on, admitted that the film was not based on her real-life episodes.” He pegs the lifetime of the film at Rs. 30 crore.

 

6. Khuda Haafiz

Probable Theatrical Box Office Lifetime: Rs. 25 to 30 crores

Verdict: Flop

This action thriller had some fine moments but overall, it was a one-time watch fare, like most Vidyut Jammwal’s solo films. And just like his recent films like Junglee (2019) and Commando 3 (2019), this film’s lifetime would have settled in the Rs. 25-30 crore range.

Trade Verdict: According to Komal Nahta, its lifetime would have been around Rs. 20 crore while Girish Johar puts it in the Rs. 20-25 crore range. Atul Mohan says it would have earned in the range of Rs. 15-20 crore. He explains why the film didn’t work for him, “Khuda Haafiz was disappointing. Vidyut Jammwal’s fans were upset as he was getting bashed up and was running from people. He was not beating up baddies.” Taran Adarsh explains why this became the double edged sword for the talented actor, “Vidyut Jammwal is in a strange position. Agreed that iss film mein action ki kami hai. But when the guy is trying to do something different, why can’t we appreciate it?” He calls it a very well-made film and adds, “The locations and the storytelling were very, very interesting.”

“Horror is a very tough genre because you have to be convincing to an audience” – says Bhumi Pednekar on Durgamati

Bhumi Pednekar has carved a niche for herself in Bollywood with her brilliant acting skills. The versatile actress will be seen next in a horror-thriller titled Durgamati, which is releasing on December 11 on Amazon Prime Video. Bhumi is headlining this project that is being produced by Akshay Kumar. Bhumi says she wants to sink her teeth into every genre and put up great performances in them.

"Horror is a very tough genre because you have to be convincing to an audience" - says Bhumi Pednekar on Durgamati

Bhumi says, “I want to explore all genres and put up superlative performances in each one of them. As an artiste, that is my personal ambition. I want to be in the best films that are being made in India today and put up diverse performances that test me, push me to the max. I don’t want to make a genre or a type of film my niche. I want to do it all and try and excel in every project that I take up. Durgamati, for me, was one such project.“

Bhumi is thrilled that Durgamati pushed her to deliver one of her best performances. She says, “I knew it will help me push the envelope and I will get to expand myself as an artiste. It was definitely a huge learning experience for me. Horror is a very tough genre because you have to be convincing to an audience who knows that what they are seeing is not real. So, the performances have to carry the film and deliver outstanding entertainment to audiences. I wanted to experience this genre and I was sure that I would be able to deliver a solid performance.”

Bhumi is confident that audiences will give her a lot of love for Durgamati. She says, “I’m very hopeful that audiences will give me as much love as they have given me for all my performances so far when Durgamati releases. I consider myself fortunate that people have always supported and validated my performances and film choices.”

Abhishek Bachchan reveals the personal story behind naming his Kabbadi team Jaipur Pink Panthers

Amazon Prime Video is all geared up to get you going ‘Kabaddi Kabaddi’ with is upcoming sports docu series Sons of The Soil : Jaipur Pink Panthers. A documentary that is unscripted, raw, unfiltered in the players, coaches and management lives in the franchise.

Abhishek Bachchan reveals the personal story behind naming his Kabbadi team Jaipur Pink Panthers

In a recent press conference, owner of the team, Abhishek Bachchan shares this ‘personal touch’ that involved in the name ‘Jaipur Pink Panthers’, he says, “Jaipur Pink Panthers has a very personal touch with me. Whatever work I do in life, I feel it should have a personal connect. When I was little, my father used to call me out saying ‘Tiger’ then after a few years I thought even I should call him something as an answer. One day when he came back home from shooting, he asked me ‘How are you tiger? I replied,’ I am fine Panther. How are you?’ and I was 4-5 years old then. Since then it became like a fun thing, he used to call me Tiger, I used to call him Panther. If there was an animal that we wanted to choose, I was sure that it was Panther because that is how I used to call my father. Pink is my daughter, Aaradhya’s favorite colour. So I thought that Pink and Panther would be nice. My wife Aishwarya has worked in the film Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin, so that’s a connect to Aishwarya. Jaipur was the city, Aishwarya and I came together in, so that’s why Jaipur. If you see, our Pink Panther has blue-green eyes which are the same as my wife’s. So there is a personal connect to everything about Jaipur Pink Panthers.”

Sharing this connect that he found ’embarrassing’ has actually struck a chord in our hearts as we all are in awe. The series is produced by BBC Studios India and directed by two-time BAFTA Scotland Winner Alex Gale, following Jaipur Pink Panthers through their journey in Season 7 of Pro Kabaddi League.

The Sons Of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers are set for Le Panga! on December 4. The Amazon Original Series will launch in over 200 countries and territories exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

Chetan Hansraj roped in to play the antagonist in Pearl V Puri starrer Brahmarakshas 2

After presenting three interesting fiction properties in the festive month of October and captivating its audience with stories that capture the pulse of the Indian middle class, Zee TV now takes its audience on a trip of fantasy. The channel very recently launched the second season of its immensely successful and intriguing weekend thriller, Brahmarakshas. Produced by Balaji Telefilms, the show premiered its first episode on 22nd November with television actress Nikki Sharma essaying the lead character of Kalindi opposite popular actor Pearl V. Puri playing the role of Angad. Having made quite an intriguing start, the show is all set to make an exciting and captivating revelation on this Sunday.

Chetan Hansraj roped in to play the antagonist in Zee TV’s Brahmarakshas 2

While the initial episodes have introduced viewers to leading lady Kalindi’s battle against an evil force that seems to be lurking around her, there has been much speculation around the true identity and the human form that this Brahmarakshas will assume. In an exciting turn of events, viewers will find out in the latest episode of the show that the Brahmarakshas is none other than the character Vardhan Chaudhry played by the multi-talented television superstar Chetan Hansraj.

Out of the many negative characters essayed by Chetan, this role seems to be one of his most challenging yet exciting characters to portray. Talking about his love for this genre and what intrigued him to take up this character, Chetan said “The genre of supernatural shows itself has always been my favourite. When I first heard the story, I was instantly hooked, and I felt it had the perfect mix of thrill and drama that are required to complete a show of this kind. This is the best werewolf story we could have right now on Indian television. I am really looking forward to portraying this character because it is something very different from what I have essayed earlier and it brings its own set of challenges. Moreover, I am returning to Zee TV after nearly four to five years and I am glad to be a part of the family once again”.

The actor’s character has a rather ferocious avatar which takes Chetan nearly four hours to step in and out of the look. Talking about his look, Chetan said. “It takes minimum 4 hours and a team of four to five exceptionally skilful people to set the heavy prosthetics on my face. Shooting in the costume, that includes performing various action sequences comes as a big challenge by itself but none of this takes away from the interest and fascination that I have for this role. “While it might be quite a tough process, transforming from Vardhan into Brahmarakshas and back into Vardhan is actually the most exciting part of this character.”

The identity of the Brahmarakshas might be out in the open, but what does Vardhan turn into the Brahmarakshas and why is he after Kalindi?

In a promo of the show, the two actors reveal their habit of gossiping especially when one of the three is not present. The promo begins with Satish saying, “When Anupam and Anil Kapoor are together, they gossip about me. When Anil Kapoor and I are together, we are like ‘Kapoor saab, kya yaar…”

Since the two of you are here together why not get some tea.” Carrying on with what Kapil was referring to Anupam Kher jokingly said, “Ye Anil kya samajhta hai yar apne aap ko, badi body shody dikhane laga hai (What does Anil think of himself these days, he keeps showing off his body).”

Anupam Kher took to his Twitter handle and shared the promo and wrote, “My dear @AnilKapoor! This 20 second video clip is for you. From your two friends. It is not fun until friends do evil to each other. Don’t forget to watch tonight at half past nine @SonyTV On. @satishkaushik2.”

Coolie No 1: When David Dhawan was angry with Varun Dhawan but vented it on Sara Ali Khan during ‘Main Toh Raste Se’ shoot

A few days ago, the highly-awaited trailer of Coolie No. 1 starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan was unveiled. Directed by David Dhawan, the upcoming film is a rendition of the iconic 1995 Govinda-Karisma Kapoor starrer family comedy.

Coolie No 1: When David Dhawan was angry with Varun Dhawan but vented it on Sara Ali Khan during ‘Main Toh Raste Se’ shoot

During the press interaction on Saturday, Sara Ali Khan revealed a hilarious moment from the sets of the film when David Dhawan got angry at her. “We were filming ‘Main Toh Raste Se’ when David sir got upset with me and shouted at me because, although I was ready for my shot, I was supposed to tag something on my costume and that was taking time”.

However, there was a reason for it and she blamed Varun Dhawan for it. “He was doing some costume business in the van and David sir got pretty upset at him as it was delaying the shoot. So basically, he was angry at Varun but vented on me. That was a bit of an issue, but it is all good,” she said.

“Working on Coolie No. 1 has really been a dream come true. One has grown up listening to songs like ‘Husn Hai Suhana’ and ‘Mirchi Lagi’, and it’s surreal that I now feature in the reprised versions of these songs! Working with Varun was an amazing experience, as not only is he an impeccable actor but he is also an extremely considerate, helpful, and motivating friend who always has your back on set. Of course, working with David Sir was a sheer privilege as I truly believe he’s the king of this commercial, masala, family comedy genre. Every day on set was a riot of fun, while at the same time one got to learn so much just by watching actors like Paresh sir, Rajpal sir, Johnny Sir, Bharti Maam, Javed Sir, and even Saahil and Shikha. I’m so grateful to Jackie and Vashu Sir for giving me this opportunity, and supporting us so much through this film! I really am excited for this film to release, and I sincerely hope that we’re able to spread happiness and some much-needed Christmas cheer with this movie” said Sara Ali Khan.

Coolie No. 1 stars Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav amongst others, and is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, and Deepshikha Deshmukh. Bringing festive cheer this Christmas, Coolie No. 1 will premiere exclusively on December 25, 2020, on Amazon Prime Video.

Is Jallikattu the right choice for the Oscars? Filmmakers respond

Anurag Kashyap: “Of course I am happy. This was one year where I felt we had four films that had backing and they made a bold choice. Jallikattu has XYZ films as US distributor and a successful festival run and international reviews. So it does stand a good chance .There was also The Disciple in the selection race that has Cuaron and international distribution and festival wins There was Sir that has international distribution and festival run and backing and there was Yeh Ballet that had international appeal and Netflix backing. Lijo Jose Pellissery is a filmmaker of international standards and the world needs to know him so I am happy this will cast the light on him.”

Is Jallikattu the right choice for the Oscars? Filmmakers respond

Hansal Mehta: “It’s a brilliant film. Absolutely no doubt. I haven’t seen Chaitanya Tamhane’s film The Disciple yet but going by the accolades it received and so much talk about it being a possible contender for Oscars maybe this was the film to be sent? About time this process for selection changes. Films that stand a chance need to be sent. Period. And films stand a chance based on many factors. Not just likes/dislikes of some mystery jury. The year Lunchbox was in contention they sent Good Road. The year Shahid and Fandry were in contention they sent Liars Dice. The politics, motives and understanding of these ‘jurors’ are very questionable at times. Jallikattu is a good film. But I’m sure The Disciple is far more international given Alfonso Cuaron’s involvement. We’ve missed one more shot at nominations I think.”

Honey Trehan: “I think it’s a well deserving entry and I personally have been a fan of Lijo’s films. I like the way through Jallikattu talks about many aspects of our society, culture, pathos and specially the greed. Jallikattu is an experience. I’m glad to know that our jury has chosen this film for Oscar entry…much respect.”

Srijit Mukherjee: “Brilliant decision. The fact that Indian cinema is so much more than Bollywood gets reiterated. And international focus is rightfully back where it belongs.”

Sudhir Mishra: “Naturally I thought it should have been my own film Serious Men. But now that it’s Jalikkattu I say: All the best!”

Karan Anshuman: “Deserving film. Lijo is an auteur who’s earned the accolade. Critical for him to find support in a big studio to campaign for Jallikattu in LA if it’s going to have a fighting chance.”

BTS earns their fifth No. 1 album with ‘BE’ on Billboard 200, their second chart-topper this year after ‘Map Of The Soul: 7’ 

Kicking off Monday on a huge note, global superstars BTS have earned their fifth No. 1 album with their latest release ‘BE’ on the Billboard 200 chart. The chart announcement was made on November 30, 2020. This makes their second chart-topper after their February 21, 2020, full-length album release ‘Map Of The Soul: 7’.

BTS earns their fifth No. 1 album with 'BE' on Billboard 200, their second chart-topper this year after 'Map Of The Soul: 7' 

According to Billboard, “Of Be’s 242,000 units earned in the tracking week ending Nov. 26, album sales comprise 177,000, TEA units comprise 35,000 and SEA units comprise 30,000 (equating to 48.56 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs).”

The report further revealed, “‘Be’ is the 11th mostly non-English album to hit No. 1. Of the 11 leaders that were recorded mostly in a language other than English, five have been by BTS. The album’s first week is the largest for an album by a group, both in terms of equivalent album units and album sales, since BTS’ own last No. 1 album, Map of the Soul: 7, earned 422,000 units in its first week, of which 347,000 were in album sales (chart dated March 7).”

In ‘BE’, BTS opens themselves up to express their mixed feelings about this situation—fear and anxiety mingled with the determination to overcome all this. The album contains the band’s emotions and ruminations they had throughout this year, and the story of “us” continuing the existential journey. That is also the reasoning behind the album’s title, BE, that stands for “to be” or “existence” and does not abide by any form.

REVEALED: Here’s the real reason why Bollywood stars are heading to Maldives and posting holiday pictures

Of late there has been a virtual exodus into the azure paradise of the Maldives. Journalist Barkha Dutta has even criticized the trend of stars posting pictures of their Maldives visit. A prominent young actor laughingly sets the matter of meditating in the Maldives by spilling the beans. “But they’ve to post the pictures of their activities in the Maldives. It is part of the deal.” He tells me.

REVEALED: Here's the real reason why Bollywood stars are heading to Maldives and posting holiday pictures

What deal? I ask curiously.

“The package deal for this Maldives vacations. The stars are being lured into free vacations on condition that they post pictures of their experiences,” the actor informs, adding that he refused the tempting offer as it seems a little vulgar to be splashing in the lap of luxury at a time when there is a worldwide panic over a pandemic.

Going by the number of Bollywood stars who have vacationed in the Maldives during the past couple of years, the oceanic paradise, the breath-taking beauty spot, has indeed transformed into the no 1 touristic attraction on the globe.

Why just Bollywoodians? Even Priyanka Chopra’s brother-in-law Joe Jonas took his newly-married wife British actress Sophie Turner to the azure haven in the Maldives for their honeymoon. Priyanka Chopra a frequent flyer to Maldives is whispered to have got her bro-in-law an all-expenses paid honeymoon. The trip, it is rumoured, was in-house as long as Joe and Sophie let the world know they had a ball in Maldives.

If truth be told, it doesn’t take much for a celebrity to win all-expenses paid vacation to the Maldives. All he or she has to do in return is let the world know there is no better place to unwind. And in many ways, that is not a false endorsement. The Maldives is a stunningly scenic and serene place to vacation.

Richa Chadha starrer Shakeela, based on the spunky South superstar, set for Christmas 2020 release in theatres

The film that chronicles the life of soft-core sensation, Shakeela, is all set for a big-screen multi-lingual release on Christmas. This announcement put to rest months of speculation surrounding the release of the film. The first poster of Shakeela starring Richa Chadha met with a lot of excitement.

Richa Chadha starrer Shakeela, based on the spunky South superstar, set for Christmas 2020 release in theatres

The latest poster of the film that launches today features Richa in a glamorous avatar. Draped in a saree and with a gun in her hand, she pays the perfect ode to the South siren. In the background, there are allusions to her epithet of a box office queen, along with obscene words related to her body, religious affiliation, and skin colour. The poster is a testament to the fact that Richa conveys Shakeela’s attitude and style with a rare spunk and vivacity. It also communicates that it is no dirty picture and explores Shakeela’s world beyond her erotic image and stardom.

Inspired by a shocking true story about the life of superstar Shakeela, the film traces her journey – filled with hurdles and discrimination – from playing side characters to becoming the face of B-grade films and eventually reaching the pinnacle of glory. Soon, she began threatening the stardom of the biggest superstars of that era in the South film industry.

Born in a conservative Muslim family, Shakeela began her career at the age of 16. Having worked in about 250 films, she emerged as an adult star who ruled the South film industries in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Talking about the film, director Indrajit Lankesh says, “Shakeela is my passion project. I have known her since 2003 when I worked with her. Her rags-to-riches story caught my attention. I did some extensive personal interviews with her and came to know so much about the person that she is behind that image of a star. And I knew that it is only Richa who can nail the part. This film will help youngsters who aspire to be part of the film industry understand that there is more to the overlying glitz and glamour.”

Shakeela also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Malayalam actor, Rajeev Pillai. The film is presented and produced by Sammys Magic Cinema Motion Picture Production and distributed by UFO. It is slated for a Christmas release.
