Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, has finally been released in the cinemas. It is an official remake of Forrest Gump (1994) though the writers have made a few changes here and there and Indianized the narrative. A significant scene in Laal Singh Chaddha however gives a strong déjà vu of the recent controversy of Ranveer Singh.

In Forrest Gump, the protagonist is in the army and one of his teammates passes him an adult magazine in a scene. Forrest sees the picture of his crush, Jenny, on it. The voiceover of Forrest mentions that Jenny had posed for the magazine seductively in her college sweater. As a result, she was expelled from college.

In Laal Singh Chaddha, the protagonist is handed over a newspaper. His colleague points him at the controversial naked picture of Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre. Laal Singh Chaddha, however, realizes that the same issue had also published a backless picture of his childhood love, Rupa. The article along with the picture informed Laal that a legal notice was slapped on Rupa by certain organizations for promoting vulgarity.

This track in the film reminds one of Ranveer Singh’s recent nude photoshoot controversy. The talented actor’s multiple photos were published by a magazine, wherein he was seen posing without any clothing. While many appreciated this move, a lawyer complained to the cops, after which an FIR was lodged against the actor. After this development, several personalities came forward in support of Ranveer and felt that the police complaint against him is unjustified.

Interestingly, Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre’s hot picture had also led to a lot of brouhaha. In 1995, both the models had done a bold, nude photoshoot for Turf Shoes and were aesthetically covered by a python. The social service branch of the Mumbai police had registered a case against them, citing indecency. The case lasted for 14 years, after which the courts acquitted them.

Aamir Khan is all set to return to the silver screen after three-and-a-half year-long break with his film Laal Singh Chaddha. A special screening of the film was held on Wednesday, ahead of its theatrical release on August 11. The special screening was attended by Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Naga Chaitanya, Kiran Rao, Ira Khan and Junaid Khan. Among others, Deepika and Ranveer made a stylish entry at the star-studded event. They were also joined by Ranveer’s family.

Deepika and Ranveer came at the celebrity-studded event wearing monochromatic outfits and exuded power couple charm with their sharp suits. Deepika was spotted wearing a pastel green pantsuit, and she appeared to be quite the boss chick. A jacket with notch lapel collars, padded shoulders, a plunging neckline, folded full-length sleeves, and an oversized silhouette is part of the star's outfit. She layered her blazer over a white lace bralette. In the end, Deepika went for a matching pair of pastel green straight-leg trousers, pointed white high heels, Louis Vuitton shoulder bag, and watch with a metallic strap, bracelet with a stylish aesthetic, diamond rings, and tiny ear studs. The outfit Deepika is wearing is from Gauge 81 and costs Rs. 78,729.

Ranveer chose a black shirt and pant set to compliment his wife in his very offbeat fashion. He selected a shirt with a collar, a high-low hemline, long sleeves, and a button-up front. His outfit for the event included skinny-fit black jeans, tinted sunglasses, black dress shoes, diamond ear studs, a well-groomed beard, and a backswept hairstyle.

Laal Singh Chaddha, the forthcoming movie starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, is scheduled to hit theatres on August 11. The iconic Hollywood film The Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, has an official Hindi version in the form of Laal Singh Chaddha.

While his daughter Suhana Khan is keen on following his footsteps, his son Aryan Khan has always maintained that he was never interested in acting unlike superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The star kid was always keen on getting behind the camera and if recent reports are to be believed, Aryan has already kicked off his first project. The star kid wants to make his debut as a writer of a web show just like his sister who is making her acting debut with the Netflix film The Archies.

As per a Peeping Moon report, Aryan Khan will be kicking off his debut as a writer. The star will be writing a Tinsel town comedy and has already started work on it. A source was quoted in the report saying, "Aryan is working on this Tinseltown satire on his own and will serve as the showrunner but might not necessarily direct it. It’s a funny, touching, and gripping story set in the Mumbai film industry, told through an up-and-coming young actor and his friends. Having been a star kid, Aryan is well aware of all the nitty-gritty of how the film industry functions and has written a script that takes a not-too-serious look at the ins-and-outs of film stardom.”

Speaking about the show, reports have it that even though it is inspired from real life experiences, it is a fictional story that will reflect the day-to-day lifestyle of actors and the emotional, artistic challenges that comes along with it. He is expected to finish the script in the next 2 to 3 months. If these reports are to be believed, the production is expected to kick off somewhere in the first quarter of 2023. Although he is currently only scripting the film, the other details are yet to be locked, including the streaming platform. Also, Aryan is expected to dedicate some more time assisting and understanding the process of filmmaking before he takes the director’s reigns.

Koffee With Karan season 7 has us hooked, despite the shift in timing, the Karan Johar-hosted chat show has continued to remain a much-loved show. After featuring a host of celebrities the latest episode of the show features cousins Sonam Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor. Intestinally, the two will be seen together for the first time, in the past, Sonam featured with Deepika Padukone on the show while Arjun has made several appearances. Talking about the new episode, the show sees both Sonam and Arjun revealing some interesting facts about each other. One such moment was Arjun Kapoor opening up about his physical transformation.

During the show, speaking about Arjun's physical transformation, Karan showed him some comments on social media and then a set of his photographs depicting the before and after the change, while saying, “I think it’s amazing that you did this firstly, it is fantastic. What was your thought, or was it just you putting yourself out there, having a feeling of abandonment?” Responding to the query Arjun replied, “It’s amazing that you can have reactions that are so varied in the way they are going about. Whether it is to do with my personal life, but it was more to do with the fact that I really, really care about my work, Karan. I really do. I am very passionate about cinema. I take my work very seriously. Somewhere down the line, when I made my debut, that is somehow, I came across that way to the audience. There was a physicality that I brought up. I was very unique in that sense. I made my debut as a grey-shaded actor. I did 2 States after that. Gunday. I presented myself in the best way possible and along with all my producers and the way I was showcased. I think I set a standard. And the audience accepted me and gave me love and respect and had an expectation and I think I let myself down. I let the audience down. I let my films down. That I wasn’t able to keep up those high standards that I had only set. And somewhere that started showing an attitude or a feeling to the outer audience, that I am lazy, I am laid back, I don’t care. And I think it was also the time of transition where social media became more relevant.”

While it certainly was interesting to see Arjun Kapoor’s dedication to becoming the best version of himself, the actor was recently seen in the film Ek Villain Returns. Going forward, Arjun will next be seen in The Lady Killer which features him alongside Bhumi Pednekar followed by Kuttey.

The popular chat show Koffee With Karan is back with its seventh season featuring none other than filmmaker Karan Johar as the host. From revealing conversations to rib-tickling banter between the guests the latest season has featured some big names. From Akshay Kumar – Samantha Ruth Prabhu to Sara Ali Khan – Janhvi Kapoor, and to Ranveer Singh – Alia Bhatt, and Ananya Panday – Vijay Deverakonda the show has already wowed the audience. Now the latest episode that features siblings Sonam Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor is set to break the internet again. In fact, going by the teasers of the episode, it seems like Sonam reveals quite a few of Arjun’s secrets. If that was not enough, the actress even spoke about her pregnancy, her fashion style, and her obsession to click photographs.

During the conversation, responding to Karan Johar’s question about what she thinks about the trend these days, of people are trying too hard on the red carpet, and whether fashion photos are getting a bit excessive Sonam revealed how it all started. “The reason Rhea (Kapoor) and I decided to take photos was because we realized when we went to the red carpet, there was so much business behind us. And we were borrowing, most of my clothes are borrowed. 90 percent of my clothes are borrowed. We were like we need to give credit where due. The pure reason is that if somebody is lending me something, I want to make sure the person gets nice photos, the designer gets nice photos and we credit them. But now I don’t know if they are borrowing it or buying it and putting it up.”

Further during the conversation, Karan went on to quiz Sonam about Cannes this year. When asked about what she thought of the Indian representation at the festival Sonam revealed she got a lot of messages because she didn’t go to Cannes this year because of her pregnancy. “I don’t know if I was missed or not. Like I have been trolled for my sartorial choices before in Cannes. So who am I to say that how you’re dressing or who’s dressing what? Maybe people think my taste is bad.”

Were it not for Samrat Prithviraj, former beauty queen Manushi Chillar would have made her debut with Aamir Khan in Laal Singh Chaddha. Whether that would have been a better prospect remains to be seen.

Sources say, Manushi was Aamir’s first choice to play his wife in Laal Singh Chaddha. But Manushi had already signed a contract with Yash Raj Films. At that point of time being launched in a big epic Yash Raj Film seemed like a dream start for any newcomer. Without much ado she declined the offer.

There were apparently quite a number of promising offers for Ms Chillar before Samrat Prithviraj released.

Now after the debacle of Samrat Prithviraj the offers have dwindled considerably. Her only new project is a film titled Tehran with John Abraham being directed by debutant Arun Gopalan.

One of the most liked divas in the Hindi entertainment industry is Anushka Sen. The diva began her career in the Hindi TV and digital entertainment industries a long time ago, and considering the level of support and love she has earned over the years, we firmly believe that she is deserving of all that has come her way. Anushka Sen is doing all in her power to establish herself as the industry's upcoming star. Every year that passes, her fame and fan base appear to increase even more, so it's no surprise.

Anushka Sen appears to be on a vacationing spree at the moment as she just got back from her birthday trip to Paris and is already onto her next one. The actress seemed to be having a great time as she is now in Zurich, Switzerland. Her pictures from the trip are undoubtedly ones that will make you jealous or desire to go on vacation yourself, to say the least. After sharing some stunning photos from her trip so far, Anushka has shared another click in which she can be seen clad in black corset paired with high rise denim jeans with dramatic thigh-high slit. Black sunglasses, a sleek pendant, and chunky sneakers served as her accessories. Take a hint from the actress Anushka Sen if you want to stock up on summer-appropriate clothes.

After two consecutive disasters Bachchhan Paandey and Samrat Prithviraj, Akshay Kumar can breathe easy. Raksha Bandhan which opens on the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan on August 11, is being seen as a “sure shot hit” by the film trade. Says director Aanand L Rai, “I don’t know how much it will be liked. But I do know that nobody can dislike it. Raksha Bandhan cannot fail to touch the hearts of every Indian. It is the most relatable film I’ve made.”

Anand feels Akshay Kumar was just the right choice to play the doting protective elder brother of four sisters. “He will remind you of Balraj Sahni in Do Raaste. Akshay is more a father-figure to his sisters in Raksha Bandhan than a brother.” Aanand’s film harks back to the classic blockbuster family film from 1969 directed by Raj Khosla in which the eldest son of the family played by Balraj Sahni lived and died for his siblings.

“At a time when we are rapidly losing our family values, Raksha Bandhan will remind us of those family films that told us how important it is to hold on to those ties that make our life meaningful,” says Aanand.

Land of Women will be directed by Iris Award winner Carlos Sedes. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Bambu Studios and the groundbreaking show will be shot in both English and Spanish and made available to watch in each language. The series is executive produced by showrunner Ramón Campos, Iris Award winner Teresa Fernández-Valdés, Ben Spector, and Longoria via her award-winning production company UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, founded in 2005 by Longoria to produce film, television, and documentaries.

Kaun Banega Crorepati kicked off season 14 recently in a rather celebratory manner. Readers would be aware that the show is famous for its quizzes but it is also known for the kind of stories that people narrate to the host Amitabh Bachchan about his fandom and the things they have done for the superstar. Similarly, a recent contestant named Professor Dhulichand, who is making news for reaching upto Rs. 75 lakhs with his intelligence, spoke about one such instance which pushed him to boycott Amitabh Bachchan.

When Professor Dhulichand was invited to the hot seat, he shared an experience he had undergone during the release of Muqaddar ka Sikandar. He also added that the superstar owed him a debt of Rs. 10. Recalling the incident, Dhulichand said, “When I was studying in college, I used to survive each month with bare minimum amount. The financial situation back then was not good at home. Despite that, I took Rs.10 to watch your film on its first day. I planned to use it for the ticket, to pay the cycle stand, and to buy tea, snacks as well as return home.”

After waiting in the queue for hours, Dhulichand revealed that when his turn came, the mob situation worsened leading to a stampede and it was so bad that the police had to intervene. In fact, the professor also mentioned that he got lathi charged during the same. Amidst the chaos, Mr. Agarwal fell to the ground and sustained a head injury. It was then that he decided that he would never watch an Amitabh Bachchan movie.

Needless to say, the legendary actor was quite touched by the story. Not only did he return the debt of Rs. 10 as Rs. 20 with interest but also promised Dhulichand that he would watch the movie with him.

Kaun Banega Crorepati airs on Sony TV at 9pm.

 पुण्यातल्या राहुल थिएटरची जन्मकथा..

बारामती तालुक्यात ढाकाळे म्हणून गाव आहे. हे गाव दुष्काळी म्हणून पंचक्रोशीत प्रसिद्ध होते. नीरा कालवा आल्यानंतर ही मंडळी पणदरे, माळेगाव भागात रहायला आली. इथेच स्थायिक झाली. हा पट्टा धनगर वस्तीचा आहे.

चंदू शेठ जगताप हे धनगर होते. ते रोजंदारीवर कामाला होते. पुढे ठेका घ्यायला लागले. त्यातून मोठा व्यवसाय उभारला. पणद-यात त्यांनी भला मोठा वाडा बांधला. त्या काळातले या भागातले सर्वात श्रीमंत प्रस्थ म्हणून ते उदयास आले. दिवाळीला हत्तीवरून साखर वाटली जायची. वस्तीत फराळ वाटायचे. 

त्यांचे सोबती कोकरे वगैरे सुद्धा आर्थिक दृष्ट्या संपन्न झाले. मात्र जगतापांइतके बलाढ्य कुणीच नव्हते. त्यांच्याशी सोयरीक करण्यासाठी वजनदार असामी धडपडत असत. 

त्यांचे अनेक सांगीवांगीचे किस्से प्रसिद्ध आहेत.

पैसे तिजोरीत किंवा बॅंकेत न ठेवता पोत्यात भरून तळघरात पोतं फेकत असत. तळघरात अशी कित्येक पोती होती ज्याची मोजदाद सुद्धा केलेली नव्हती. ( त्या काळी नोटबंदी झाली असती तर ?)

त्यांचा नातू पुण्यात शिकायला होता. त्या वेळच्या हिंदविजय (नंतरचे नटराज) सिनेमाला दिलीपकुमारचा सिनेमा होता. हाऊसफुल्ल शो होता. याने बुकींग क्लर्कला त्या वेळची शंभराची नोट देऊ केली आणि तिकीट द्याच असे म्हणाला. बुकींग क्लर्क पक्का पुणेकर होता. तो म्हणाला " एव्हढा पैसा असेल तर बापाला जाऊन सांग थेटर बांधायला "

त्याने घरी येऊन सांगितले. आज्ज्याने ऐकले. आज्जा म्हणाला "माझ्या नातवाला दीडदमडीचा कारकुंड्या बोलला ? मी अस्सं थिएटर बांधीन की आख्ख्या पुण्यात तसं नसेल"

आज्जा तडक पुण्यात आला. त्या वेळी गणेशखिंड रस्त्याला एका जागेचा लिलाव चालू होता. आज्जाने पाहीलं. पाच हजार पर्यंत रक्कम वाढली होती. त्या वेळी पाच हजार ही खूपच मोठी रक्कम होती. 

आज्जा म्हणजे चंदू शेठ जगताप आपले धनगराच्या वेषात होते. डोक्याला मुंडासं, कोपरी वर घोंगडी, धोतर आणि वहाणा.

हे आपले तिथे जाऊन म्हणाले "पाच लाख "

सगळेच स्तब्ध झाले. गणेशखिंड रस्त्याला पाच लाख बोली कुणी लावण्याच्या मानसिकतेत नव्हते आणि तेव्हढी आवश्यकताही नव्हती.

आयोजक म्हणाले "बाबा पाच लाख म्हणजे किती समजतंय का ? पैसे आहेत का एव्हढे तुमच्या जवळ ?"

आज्जाने पोलीस अधिका-याकडे गाडीची चावी दिली आणि म्हणाला " बाहेर माझी कार उभी आहे. तिच्यात डिकीत आणि मागच्या सीटवर पोती आहेत. घेऊन या. पाच लाख मोजा आणि बाकीचे पोलीसात वाटून टाका "

पोलिसांनी पोती आणली. पोत्यातून नोटा निघायला लागल्यावर सगळे हक्काबक्का झाले. पोत्यात नोटा भरल्याचे दुर्मिळ दृश्य पुणे शहर बघत होते. पाच लाख तर निघालेच. वरचे पन्नास हजार पोलीसात वाटून टाकले गेले. 

आमचे चुलत आज्जे (आजोळचे) त्या बंदोबस्तात होते. त्यांनाही पैसे मिळाले. नेमकी रक्कम ठाऊक नाही आता.

त्या जागेवर आज्जाने सिनेमा हॉल बांधला.

त्याचे नाव राहुल. 

पुढे नातवाने आपल्या आजोबांचा फोटो एण्ट्रन्स लावला होता. त्याच वेषात !

राहुल च्या उद्घाटनाला हिंदविजयच्या बुकींग क्लर्कला सन्मानाने बोलावले गेले. 

त्याच्याच मुळे पुणे शहराला एक आलिशान आणि अत्याधुनिक सिनेमा हॉल मिळाला. 

७० एमएम स्क्रीन आणि स्ट्रिरीफोनिक ध्वनीयंत्रणेसह सर्व अत्याधुनिक यंत्रणा असलेले हे थिएटर लवकरच पुणेकरांच्या गळ्यातले ताईत बनले.

Housing.com Group CEO Dhruv Agarwal says that at the moment there is a sharp improvement in the customer sentiment for the purchase of property. Now the introduction of Covid-19 Vaccine has started. In such a situation, the move to increase the benefit of additional tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh on the interest of home loan in the budget by March 31, 2022 will act as a lifeline for the housing property sector. The move would prove to be effective, especially for the affordable housing segment, which would also benefit from the decision to extend the tax holiday a year further for an affordable housing project to increase supply. 

Rental housing will also get a boost
