On Sunday, July 9, an article appeared in Dainik Bhaskar that said that Mayank Madhur, BJP leader and Kangana Ranaut’s political advisor and family friend, has decided to move court against the actress and the producers of Tejas. Mayank was quoted in the article stating that he helped in getting permissions for the filming of Kangana's films He further added that he arranged Kangana, her sister and manager Rangoli Chandel, RSVP creative producer Salona Bains Joshi and director Sarvesh Mewara's meeting with the defence minister Rajnath Singh. In return, Kangana and Sarvesh had promised to give him a 15-minute role in Tejas.

Mayank Madhur then revealed that after the meeting with Rajnath Singh, his role was shortened considerably. And when he asked for payment for his services, he was given false promises. Hence, he decided to sue Kangana and the makers of the film.

Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Mayank Madhur and he said, “I was the one who arranged Kangana Ranaut’s meetings with the various chief ministers like Shivraj Singh Chouhan ji, Hemant Biswa ji and also Rajnath Singh ji. I helped with securing permissions for her films like Dhaakad, Tiku Weds Sheru, Tejas, Emergency etc. I also managed her various cases.”

When asked how he knew the National Award-winning actress, Mayank replied, “Kangana and I go back a long way. I met her when she used to do theatre at Asmita. At that time, I was a journalist at Deshbandu. I also worked for Navbharat Times, India Today, News 24 etc.”

Did he ever sign an agreement or contract regarding his role and its length in Tejas? Mayank Madhur answered, “No. These discussions took place in front of Rajnath Singh ji and also before we met the minister at The Leela Hotel in New Delhi. When a friend asks you for help, you don’t sign an agreement. It all works on trust. And she’s like family. My issue is that she made a commitment and she didn’t adhere to it.”

He further said, “For two years, she was trying to get permission to shoot Tejas in certain locations but her efforts were futile. I got it arranged in a day. The meeting with Rajnath Singh ji was supposed to be only for 10 minutes. But it went on for nearly two hours. I told the minister, ‘Apni hi bacchi hai. Please inki help kar dijiye’. I even asked Rajnath ji to give the mahurat clap for Tejas. But he couldn’t make it as he was busy with some work. Then as the film went on floors, Kangana would remind me that my shoot will soon happen but would also tell me ‘Aap Lucknow, Moradabad, Delhi ke shoot ka permission karwa dijiye’. She also asked me to get permission to shoot in Rajasthan and at air force bases. Meanwhile, the length of my role kept getting shorter. Then I was told to come to shoot for a 1 or 2-minute appearance. I made it clear that I am not interested.”

Mayank Madhur has been credited under ‘Special Thanks’ in Tiku Weds Sheru, produced by Kangana Ranaut. Mayank added, “For that film, she had assured me that I’ll be credited as associate producer. That didn’t happen and then she asked me to come on board for Tejas and Emergency. I even asked her why I should do so. After all, my political career is going fine. I asked her what my role in Tejas will be. To which she said that she wants my help in securing permissions. The director of Tejas, Sarvesh Mewara, has cheated me. Kangana had assured me that before the release of the film, she would arrange for my fees. But she’s not talking about it and now putting the ball in the court of the film’s makers. Hence, I decided to go to the court.”

When asked about his plan of action, Mayank Madhur chose not to divulge details, “I’ll not reveal right now when I plan to go to the court, which court I’d be approaching and how exactly will I stop the film’s release. I want to get the makers arrested. I have taken guidance from the former chief justice of India to understand how I can take the matter further. I have even spoken to the chief ministers, PMO, home ministry etc to ensure that arrest warrants can be issued immediately from various states. Everything will be done as per the legalities.”

Will he want to issue an arrest warrant against Kangana Ranaut as well? Mayank Madhur stated, “warrant will be issued against everyone who dealt with me and who cheated me, that is, the director, the producer and the actress etc. It was Kangana who got the director and producer involved.”

Kangana Ranaut’s team reached out to Mayank Madhur after the Dainik Bhaskar story was out. He revealed, “I spoke to her sister Rangoli. She has asked me to hold for a few days so that she can speak to the makers and get this thing sorted. I have agreed to it as Kangana is a friend and like a family member. But if I don’t get justice by then, then I’ll make sure I’ll stop the film’s release.”

Mayank Madhur signed off by talking about his main line of work, “I advise 156 central ministers, MLAs, MLC, and governors about their social media posts and their speeches in the assembly. In fact, I also write poetries and shayaris. I was the one who wrote the legendary quote ‘Aaj mera ghar toota hai, kal tera ghamand tootega’ after Kangana’s house was partly demolished by the Uddhav Thackeray government. She then posted it on her social media handle. I helped her tremendously during that crisis and was her legal advisor for her numerous cases. I even got her Y-security arranged in 24 hours.”

It is a huge responsibility as Koshish, Bawarchi and Mili are celebrated in India and across the globe which have been made by the legendary Gulzar Saab and Hrishi da who have set the standards of filmmaking for generations to come. These are the films we have grown up on and they are the stories that the new generation should also witness; to know our rich cinematic legacy. We endeavour to put our best to live upto the expectations, the responsibility and most importantly remake these films which will touch the audiences hearts far and wide.”

Sameer Raj Sippy expressed, “I feel movies are about defining moments, interesting enough to share with people, and that’s why I think it’s time we take classic stories and bring them in today’s scenario, with a newer and modern outlook. And that’s the intention behind revisiting Bawarchi, Mili and Koshish. Coming from a legendary family of filmmakers, and being inspired by the family business, I now want to continue this legacy that has been handed down by my grandfather, Shri N. C.

Over the last few days, Farhan Akhtar's Jee Le Zara is among the most spoken-about films on social media due to the change in cast. Bollywood Hungama was the first to report that Priyanka Chopra has walked out of the film giving priority to her Hollywood Project, Citadel 2, leaving the makers in a situation of confusion at the last minute, yet again after Bharat. Soon after, there were media reports that Farhan Akhtar had approached Anushka Sharma to step into Priyanka Chopra's shoes in the film.

And now, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that Anushka Sharma has refused to feature in the film citing date issues. "Anushka was excited about the idea of a female-led journey of self-discovery, but the shooting timelines were not matching with her calendar. She has to balance her personal life with her profession and allotting the number of days that Farhan asked for was not possible. There are a lot of combination dates with Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, but it was not in line with her schedule," a source told Bollywood Hungama.

With the casting struggling to fall in place, Farhan Akhtar has put Jee Le Zara on complete hold at this point in time. He will first act in the Aamir Khan Production – Champion - and then direct Ranveer Singh in Don 3. The gangster film was expected to be announced on July 6, but the same was then delayed to avoid a clash with Prabhas' Salaar teaser launch.

All the ambitious plans around Jee Le Zara stand void at the moment.

It’s a story of triumph in extreme adversity. It has been the most physically and emotionally demanding film I have done. Feels extra special that people will be watching Ghoomer at IFFM for the first time. Couldn’t have asked for anything better coming to the land of the great Shayne Warne to showcase our film”.

The cast Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor and the creators of the film were in the capital city of the most famous emirate to commence the international publicity for the timeless love story. At the trailer launch, Tiwari said that the movie is a layered piece emotionally.

At the global press conference held in Dubai, Nitesh Tiwari said, “This film is very special probably because there is a lot of personal stuff involved in it. This is the story which needs to be told. It is all about the way we look at life, the way we look at people. “There are certain life experiences which change us. It is (about) coming-of-age and a layered piece emotionally.”

The movie was shot across India, Poland, Netherlands and Germany. Some sequences were also shot at Auschwitz concentration camp. Without divulging into the details, Tiwari added, “I like to keep my cards close to my chest. The idea of the trailer is to create curiosity. Please watch the movie for all your answers.

The month of July is going to be an exciting one for Hollywood fans. The much-awaited Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One, starring Tom Cruise, will have a grand release on Wednesday, July 12. On July 21, there’ll be a clash between Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Barbie. The bookings of both Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One and Oppenheimer commenced on July 1 and has got an encouraging response.

However, the ticket sales for Oppenheimer have surpassed expectations. An exhibition source said, “We all knew that a section of moviegoers is excited to see Oppenheimer. But no one imagined that tickets would start selling like hot cakes, that too, more than two weeks before release.”

The source further said, “There is a heavy demand to see Oppenheimer in the IMAX screens. Since most shows are almost sold out, the exhibitors had no choice but to play shows at 3 AM as well.”

The source continued, “As of now, PVR Lower Parel and Inox Malad in Mumbai have started the bookings for shows at 3:30 AM and 3:45 AM respectively. The other IMAX theatres in the city will soon follow suit and so will IMAX screens in other parts of the country.”

Another exhibition source said, “There are also plans to have midnight shows, that it, at 12:00 AM. Not just IMAX, normal screens might also play midnight and post-midnight shows as per the demand. After all, those who are interested to see Oppenheimer are not going to wait to see the film on OTT and on their phones. This is a film meant for the big screen and hence, exhibitors expect the film to have a healthy lifetime, more so after the response to the bookings in IMAX theatres.”

An industry insider commented, “What’s fascinating is that when it comes to Hollywood films, until now, only the family-friendly Marvel superhero films and Avatar: The Way Of Water have had 12 AM and 3 AM/4 AM/5 AM shows. Oppenheimer doesn’t belong to any franchise or cinematic universe. It’s also an adult-rated flick. Yet, the demand is such. It shows the craze for Christopher Nolan among a section of the audience. The curiosity to see on the big screen the much-hyped atomic explosion scene, which is claimed to have been shot without CGI, has also played a big part. It has enhanced the hype manifold.”

As per reports, Oppenheimer has sold 14,000 tickets in the three national chains on the opening day, that too, in just IMAX.

मैं स्वीकार करता हूँ कि फ़िल्म आदिपुरुष से जन भावनायें आहत हुईं हैं. अपने सभी भाइयों-बहनों, बड़ों, पूज्य साधु-संतों और श्री राम के भक्तों से, मैं हाथ जोड़ कर, बिना शर्त क्षमा माँगता हूँ. भगवान बजरंग बली हम सब पर कृपा करें, हमें एक और अटूट रहकर अपने पवित्र सनातन और महान देश की… — Manoj Muntashir Shukla (@manojmuntashir) July 8, 2023

We are living in an era of smartphones and social media. It doesn’t take much time now for a common man to click pictures of celebrities on their phone. If the celebrity happens to snap at people or journalists and seems to be in a lovey-dovey mode at that moment, the snaps can go viral in no time. Two decades ago, this wasn’t common. Yet, Shahid Kapoor found himself in an uncomfortable situation in 2004.

Shahid Kapoor had a long and detailed conversation with Mid-Day’s editor Mayank Shekhar. Mayank revealed that in 2004, young teenagers clicked pictures of Shahid Kapoor kissing his then-girlfriend at a Juhu nightclub, Rain. The blurry images were clicked on a digital camera and the youngsters sold it to Mid-Day for Rs. 500. Although the story doesn’t mention who Shahid’s girlfriend was, it is said to be Kareena Kapoor Khan.

When asked how Shahid Kapoor felt when these pictures were out, he admitted, “I was destroyed at the time. I was just 24 years old, a kid. I felt my privacy had been invaded, and I could do nothing to protect it. I was a mess. At that age, especially—because you don’t even know your own feelings. You are figuring out how to be with a girl you are dating. And in the middle of all that, this happens.”

He also said that in today’s times, with almost everyone carrying a smartphone and paparazzi culture on the rise, something of this sort is expected, He added, “At that time, we were caught off guard by it.”

Shahid Kapoor continued, “Also, ab toh meri shaadi ho gayi hai, bacche ho gaye hain. Nobody is interested in those things about me. They have other 24-year-olds to focus on.”

As per an article in The Telegraph in December 2004, a controversy erupted when Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pictures appeared in Mid-Day. Both had accused the tabloid of doctoring the pictures and insisted that they had never visited the said place for three months. Mid-Day was asked to apologize or face an Rs. 20 crores lawsuit. Mid-Day’s then-editor Meena Baghel, however, said that the image was from a mobile phone video and that it can’t be doctored. As per reports, later on, both celebrities reversed their statements and complained of an invasion of privacy.

Shahid Kapoor recently completed 20 years in the industry and is showing no signs of slowing down. This year was also significant as his debut web series, Farzi, was released and got massive acclaim. This was followed by his action entertainer, Bloody Daddy, which also had a direct digital release. During an interaction with Mid-Day, Shahid talked about notable moments in his journey and also about how he got into this industry.

At the very onset, Shahid Kapoor spoke about his childhood and growing up in Delhi with his mother Neelima Azeem after she separated from Pankaj Kapur. He revealed that once in a while, his father would come to the National Capital and take him out.

Shahid Kapoor then narrated a funny anecdote. He said that when he was 6 or 7 years old when Pankaj treated him at Delhi’s popular restaurant, Nirula’s. Suddenly, Pankaj Kapur was mobbed by around a hundred people. Shahid revealed, “We were suddenly surrounded by a hundred people, who picked up gajar, and were charging at us on our restaurant table—almost like zombies, going, ‘Hehehe…. Gajar khaiye, gajar, hehehe…’.”

Pankaj Kapur declined and retorted, “Par mein bete ke saath pizza kha raha hoon.” However, they kept insisting that he have the carrot, just like his iconic character in the TV show ‘Karamchand’ that used to air in the 1980s on Doordarshan.

With no other option, both Shahid Kapoor and Pankaj Kapur had to rush out of Nirula’s. The young actor then told his father not to take him out again. He added, “By virtue of distance, the interaction between him and me was anyway limited.”

However, as he grew up and entered the same profession as Pankaj, both got closer. Shahid Kapoor also confessed that it was his father who suggested the title Jab We Met for his 2007 classic love story. Shahid also acted in the lead in Pankaj Kapur’s directorial, Mausam (2011).

Brought to life by a critically acclaimed cast including Suvinder Vicky, Barun Sobti, Varun Badola, Harleen Sethi, Rachel Shelly, and Manish Chaudhary and helmed by Sudip Sharma, Randeep Jha, and Clean Slate Filmz Productions, the series promises an authentic narrative that goes beyond the age-old police investigation-led storylines.

Talking about getting Shelley onboard for the series, director Sudip Sharma told Indian Express, “The casting of Rachel came from a bit of practicality. I knew I wanted an actor from the UK for the part and didn’t want to hire a ‘white actor working in Mumbai’ just because it makes things easy.”

He added, “Shooting a web series is tough, we don’t have the kind of budgets that are there for films and a professional white actor, who has done good work over there, they would find it very tough to shoot here, the chaos that’s here. So, part of the reason to hire her was because she had done Lagaan, she knew what madness could be like. Apart from that, she is also a great actor and I had seen a bunch of her other work in the West. So, it was almost like a jigsaw puzzle when you are doing your casting. So much of it is gut and then of course your casting director (Nikita Grover), who will keep pushing the boundary.”

Speaking about the efforts put in by Nikita Grover, Sharma added, “She had also done the casting of Pataal Lok, acted in it, and has done casting for season two as well. She has in fact also acted in Kohrra. She understands the world we are trying to create, and it is always about going out there and finding those actors. She spent a good amount of time in Punjab, going to these pinds and kasbas to find these very real actors from there. People who have never acted before or those who have only done theatre, and Punjab has a very vibrant theatre scene. She really tapped into it,” he said.

Kohrra follows the death of an NRI (Non-Resident Indians) and the impact of grief, mutual suspicion and hidden secrets of the characters involved in the drama. Set in the heartland of Punjab and steeped in suspense, this new series follows dual storylines of hunting down a killer and navigating love and relationships. The crime investigation series arrives on Netflix on July 15, 2023. ALSO READ: Barun Sobti, Suvinder Vicky come together for Netflix series Kohrra

Ketan Mehta exclusively spoke to Bollywood Hungama as his acclaimed film Maya Memsaab (1992) completed 30 years on July 2. Starring Deepa Sahi, Shah Rukh Khan, Farooq Sheikh and Raj Babbar, one of the first things that one notices when one watches Maya Memsaab is that it is an Indo-UK-France co-production. Many such projects are made nowadays but back then, this was rare.

When asked about it, Ketan Mehta replied, “Maya Memsaab would be truly one of the first international co-productions from India. It was co-produced by UK’s Channel Four Television Co Ltd and Video Cinema 13 Production, France. Maya Memsaab is based on the French classic novel ‘Madame Bovary’ by Gustave Flaubert. The film started with a bank loan from NFDC (National Film Development Corporation of India). To catch the last of the snow, we rushed to Himachal Pradesh to shoot a sequence. We got caught in a snowstorm and it disrupted our shoot. As a result, funds fell short. In order to complete it, we rushed to the UK to explore the opportunities of co-production. Because of the script and the material that we had already shot, we managed to bag a co-production from Channel Four. Then we headed to France and met this person who had worked on a film with Mira Nair earlier (Salaam Bombay; 1988). He also loved the project. Sometimes, miracles happen and this is how this co-production came about (smiles).”

When prodded about what was the budget of the film, Ketan Mehta said, “I don’t even remember. It must be Rs. 20-25 lakhs.”

And how much was Shah Rukh Khan paid, considering that this was the first film for which he shot? He stated, “Again, I don’t recall. But it must be in thousands (smiles).”

Actress Mandira Bedi took to social media to share her frustrating experience at Mumbai's Terminal 2 airport, where she claimed to have lost her luggage while travelling with her children. However, Mumbai's International Airport has refuted her claims, stating that there have been no reported issues with the display systems or baggage handling during the specified timeframe.

In an Instagram story posted on Wednesday, Mandira Bedi expressed her disappointment and labelled the situation as a "nightmare." She mentioned the lack of flight information displayed on the screens and conveyor belts, leading to confusion and chaos among the passengers. Mandira further described her own ordeal, stating that she had to search through multiple conveyor belts before finding one of her suitcases unattended. She criticised the situation, describing it as an unwelcoming experience after her travels.

Contrary to Mandira Bedi's account, a report by the Free Press Journal highlighted the response from Mumbai's International Airport authorities. According to their statement, there have been no issues reported with the Flight Information Display Systems (FIDs) or the baggage handling systems at Terminal 2 in the past three days. The airport authorities emphasised that the FIDs are constantly monitored, and there have been no breakdowns or downtimes reported by their teams or the airlines.

The airport sources also noted that no official complaints were received regarding the display systems or baggage handling on the ground or online. They pointed out that if there were issues with the FIDs, other passengers would have faced the same problem. Additionally, the sources mentioned that Mandira Bedi only utilised her Instagram story to voice her concerns, without specifically tagging the airport or the airline involved, making it difficult for them to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Editor-filmmaker Apurva Asrani who edited Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya recalls an incident during the shooting. “I was sent out to shoot some B Roll (secondary shooting) Mumbai footage with Steadicam operator Nitin Rao: to use for montages, etc. That day one building of Poonam Chambers had collapsed in Worli. Since we wanted to show the impact of the underworld, I thought that the building might resemble a bomb-blasted structure.”

But there was a hitch. “The cops didn't let us shoot, in fact we weren't allowed even near the sight. Luckily, me being a Worli boy, I knew a back route to Poonam Chambers through some slums. Nitin and I sneaked up from there and quietly took two important shots that made it to the title montage showing destruction by the underworld.”

Speaking on the enduring impact of Satya, Apurva says, “The film was a clutter breaker when it came out in 1998. It told a realistic story with sizzling front-bencher dialogues and used a cinematic language--a narrative and a pace--like no one was doing before. Plus it was made by a bunch of hungry new comers who came with no baggage or ego. Maybe that's why Satya become part of public consciousness. I am overwhelmed that 25 years later it is being discussed with as much passion as when it came out.”
