Right amid his shoot schedule, Amitabh Bachchan took to social media to reveal that he has tested COVID positive and that he has quarantined himself from any association with the public. His announcement came in earlier this week, after which, many fans expressed concern over his health. However, the superstar recently took to his blog, where he assured his fans that he is recouping well but along with the update, the actor also mentioned how he doesn’t work with a team, who does all his chores for him. He mentioned that he has been doing all the household chores by himself as he has quarantined himself and is even responding to phone calls and emails personally.

Amitabh Bachchan started his blog saying, “So the entire day is filled with time and timeless memories of the past and the present and a few thoughts for the future .. a process which never is given any consideration in the hectic schedules that we follow .. Most of the time an entire team is set aside by individuals facing such encumbrances .. but choosing a team is a work of art - an artwork that requires another team .. ! issues then are endless and it has been noticed , at least by your Blogmaestra that self help is beyond all teamwork .. By the time you start preparing the briefing or educating the team, you might as well just get up and do it yourself .. it is the most satisfying and efficient working of all workings ..”

“They that have worked with you for long notice and learn your movements habits and likes dislikes as any other .. but the self knows better than any other .. so .. Rather than waste time and energy on disciplining a fresh entrant in his or her training, it may be perhaps prudent to educate the self ..  and no where is this more prominent and in execution than the times of ‘isolation’ for the dread of the ViD 19 , or to be more precise , its prevailing variant ..,” said yet another excerpt from the blog.

“Suddenly the exercise of making your own bed, cleaning your bath and toilet , wiping the floor, switching on the required plugs and switches , making your own snack and drink ( tea and the coffee ) , folding and setting up the cupboard with your clothing , responding personally to calls and mobile responses , drafting your own letters .. and submitting yourself to the medication prescription by the doctors without the assist of a nursing staff .. ALL .. is what life in these times is made of ..,” the actor wrote.

“And it is the most enjoyable and satisfying experience of them all.. The diminishing on the reliance of your staff  .. and more importantly the realisation, as I have submitted many times before, what your staff go through during an entire day .. gaining thereby the respect that should be theirs .. So .. to get back to the illness .. the feel of the ‘feelings’ is in its stable state .. which in present circumstances is the best that one can do , or should .. One could say , and is often tempted to also, to announce betterment or even more , and find that the very next day your statement being overtaken by quite the opposite .. best then to be in reserve .. in restraint .. in quiet appreciation for those that send wishes, grant them the gratitude they deserve .. and breathe !” he concluded.

‘Hero’ Shah Rukh Khan and ‘Villain’ John Abraham are getting ready for the fight of the year in Pathaan. Apparently their climactic faceoff in Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan will be a fist-to-fist combat between Khan and Abraham, thereby making this the first onscreen action sequence where a shirtless Shah Rukh will step on camera.

Incidentally John has as important a role as Shah Rukh in Pathaan. Says director Siddharth Anand, “John Abraham is THE antagonist, THE villain of Pathaan. I have always believed in the fact that the villain’s projection should be as big, if not bigger than that of the hero’s. Only when the villain is massive, can the tussle between them be spectacular.”

About the confrontation between the two stars Anand reveals, “We have an extraordinary battle when SRK takes on John! We wanted to present John in a super slick avatar.”

The director says the first looks of the actors are teasing people into the world of Pathaan. “The first looks of SRK, Deepika Padukone and John, truly represent the zone we want the audiences to view the film in. People have now just got a taste of the world of Pathaan. This truly is just the tip of the iceberg and I can assure you that nothing can prepare you for the action spectacle that is coming your way.”

Inspired by one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the Broadway musical Come Fall In Love by Aditya Chopra is all set to premiere in the US. The show will open in San Diego on September 14 and will continue till October 16. Along with a special note by Aditya Chopra, the news was posted on the official Instagram account of Yash Raj Films. For the uninitiated, the original Bollywood film featured Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead and released was in 1995.

Yash Raj Films shared the news on social media saying, “Aditya Chopra’s Broadway-bound musical Come Fall In Love (CFIL) is set to open at The Old Globe, San Diego on September 14. Here’s his note inviting people to see a celebration of love on stage… The musical’s official Opening is on Wednesday, September 14, and will run through October 16. #ComeFallInLove @theoldglobe”. Explaining how close Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is to his heart, Aditya Chopra penned the note saying, “I first conceived the story of DDLJ (even before it was called DDLJ) as a Hollywood story of a white American man and an Indian woman. My main motivation at that time was to present Indian culture and values to a global audience. Years later, as I reimagine the story as a Broadway musical. My mainstay is still the same, showcasing Indian culture to a world audience. And the most powerful way to depict a country’s culture and values is to see it from the perspective of someone who does not belong to the same culture. That is the starting point of Come Fall In Love, the story of Indian Simran, her culture and heritage through the eyes of American Roger.”

He went on to share, “Come Fall In Love is the story of Simran, an Indian American. She is at the center of the musical’s story, as she struggles to balance her love for Indian tradition and her family with her love for Roger. He is a white American man who falls madly in love with Simran and then falls in love with her culture and her country. He aspires towards India and finds a new version of himself in India’s energy, values, and way of life.”

“I’m not directing DDLJ for Broadway. I’m adapting it as Come Fall In Love to tell the story of how powerful love is in unifying cultures, especially today. In 2022, the notion that DDLJ could be adapted to present a vision of diverse cultures coming together in a story that celebrates love and the power it has to unify everyone moves me greatly. For me, Austin Colby as Roger and Shoba Narayan as Simran are the perfect vehicles to drive home this message of cultural unification in a fragmented world. They are joined by a cast, crew, and creative team that represents all that extraordinary talent Indian cinema and Broadway has to offer. The representation and artistry of India reverberates through every part of this production. Come Fall In Love is not only my heartfelt vision of ‘love in every color’ as the musical’s finale puts it, but a celebration of joy, togetherness, and inclusivity in a divisive and an increasingly toxic world of intolerance. It is also my love letter to India and the Indian heritage we carry with us wherever we may be,” he added.

“In making a new DDLJ for a new moment and new audience, I’ve departed from some aspects of the films that our fans revere. But I believe that the heart of Come Fall In Love beats with everything that is essential in DDLJ even as it speaks, sings and dances to this moment, in a different place and time, with hope, optimism, and love. I look forward to sharing Come Fall In Love with those who cherish DDLJ and I'm also looking forward to introducing the story to audiences discovering it for the first time. I'm well aware that DDLJ has a special place for many Indians living across the world and, as its original producer and director, I'm well aware of the responsibility I have in representing India to the world. I'm grateful, humbled, and excited by this opportunity. Hope I see you at the theatre and we can, together, celebrate the magnetic force of love that can shatter all barriers,” he concluded by signing off as Aditya Chopra.

Netflix has confirmed the production of Parasyte: The Grey, a series by visionary director Yeon Sang Ho based on Hitoshi Iwaaki's comic book published by KODANSHA Ltd. The story is about unidentified parasitic life-forms that live off of human hosts and strive to grow their power. As they start to disrupt society, a group of humans wage war against the rising evil.

Hitoshi Iwaaki's original comic book series Parasyte about invasive life-forms that seize and control human bodies has sold over 25 million copies over 20 territories and countries. The story, charged with much imagination and philosophical themes, spawned animation and live-action adaptations that have become all-time favorites among many fans. And now, it continues to evolve in the hands of Yeon Sang-ho, an illustrious Korean director renowned for many prominent genre films and series.

From the film Train To Busan and Peninsula that launched the K-zombie craze to globally acclaimed Netflix series Hellbound, Yeon has created a universe of his own marked by his uninhibited and awe-inspiring imagination. Yeon adds yet another domain to this realm by directing and co-writing the screenplay for Parasyte: The Grey. Given his incisive insight into human nature when people are faced with chaotic world order, many are curious to see how he will translate the world portrayed in Parasyte with Korean twist. Ryu Yong Jae, the screenwriter of Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area, joins Yeon in knitting this compelling story.

An eye-catching cast lineup is also spurring the anticipation of Parasyte: The Grey. Jeon So Nee plays Jeong Su In who falls victim to a parasite, and when it fails to take over her brain, she enters a bizarre coexistence with it. Jeon has made an impression on viewers with the series Scripting Your Destiny, When My Love Blooms and Encounter.

Koo Kyo Hwan and Lee Jung Hyun, both of whom have previously worked with director Yeon Sang Ho in the film Peninsula, join the cast. Koo Kyo Hwan plays Seol Kang Woo who tracks down parasites in order to find his missing sister. Koo, who parses his characters far beyond the obviously defined limits, enthralled audiences in the Netflix series D.P. and film Kingdom: Ashin of the North.

Lee Jung Hyun plays Choi Jun Kyung, the team leader of "Team Grey," a task force battling parasites. Having lost her husband to these invasive life-forms, she devotes herself to their demise. Lee has demonstrated a wide acting spectrum in works such as Korea’s biggest film in history The Admiral: Roaring Currents, and more.

These three actors skillfully portray through their dynamic interplay of characters and events how parasitic life-forms come to plague the world. Climax Studio, creative powerhouses that have delivered global hits such as Hellbound and D.P., and a global content production company WOW POINT are in charge of production. The extraordinarily imaginative world of Parasyte: The Grey with its intense storyline will be released only on Netflix.

Kriti Sanon has amazed us all with her incredible performances, but also with her sense of style. Her attire has a history of drawing attention to her. The Raabta actress has the finest grace and charisma while wearing her clothes. Kriti Sanon has an undeniable knack for making even the most unusual colours appear wearable. This time, Kriti Sanon chose a blue dress for the day to show us that blues aren't necessarily bad.

Kriti Sanon’s stylist took to her Instagram to share pictures of hers from her latest photo-shoot wearing a blue mini dress, which would be ideal for a Saturday night out with your girlfriends or a romantic dinner date. The outfit comes from the Laith Maalouf label's stock. The amazing dress had a body-con shape that highlighted her slender frame, was encased in leopard print, had full sleeves with power shoulders, a mini hem length, a round neckline, and a delicate side drape that went down the leg, which stole the show and created a dramatic and darkly romantic effect.

Kriti dispensed with the heavy jewellery and accessorised the look instead with a pair of tiny earrings studded with diamonds and several finger rings. High heels in blue and her well-manicured black nails accentuated the ensemble. The Mimi star wore a ponytail with centre-parted hair. She opted for subtle nude eye shadow, a nude lip colour, dewy complexion, reddened cheeks, mascara-coated lashes, on-fleek brows, and her lower lash line was rimmed with a scintillating blue liner that will pretty much instantly inspire us to go buy one.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kriti was last seen in Bachchan Panday and she will next be seen in Bhediya alongside Varun Dhawan and Shehzaada opposite Kartik Aryan. She also has Adipurush with Prabhas and Ganpath with Tiger Shroff in her kitty.

When Karan Johar asked Shahid Kapoor whether it was a conscious decision to marry someone from outside the industry, he said, "So for me, it was very simple. I have two very distinct sides to myself. One is obviously what people see of me being an actor, and from the fraternity, and the glitz and the glamour, you know all that. And then I also have a very homely and spiritual side to myself. I have a deep faith and I am vegetarian. I don't drink. You know, I have all those things, so, I always found it difficult to come across somebody, who would be able to understand both sides of me. And I really struggled with that and I was 34 and I was kind of ready to settle down because I had been living on my own for over ten years and just at that time, through family and through friends everything came up but it just happened and we met and it's the best thing that happened in my life. And I feel she brings so much into my world and she balances me out and she makes me feel very normal and we have beautiful children. And I am very thankful for that."

Karan Johar also appreciated Mira Rajput who has come into her own and asked Shahid whether he encouraged her in her career domain as she has "become a bit of a strong influencer." Shahid added, "I don't know how much she sees I have. I am not a very in your face kind of a person. When we got married, I was 34 and she was 20. So I had to approach it very differently. She needed to be cared for, with kid gloves. She had left everything in her life and had come to Bombay. I was very established in my space and films in general and this world of films can be very intimidating and judgmental. Sometimes, I used to feel like I know too much and I think I can tell her what to do and how to be. But I used to sometimes do it from a place of wanting to protect her. This is because I had been in that place myself. I was this kid from Lokhandwala, who at 21, did well and didn't know how to be."

Kiara Advani added, "I think she always was. In the episode also, I remember when you guys were on the couch (referring to an episode from a previous season of Koffee With Karan). I think she brings a lot of calmness and stability to Shahid's life and he told me, 'I have sensed that I have someone to go back home to and I always wanted that' and I felt that it was so beautiful and she is truly one of the loveliest people and I really love her and think she is like this fresh, warm sunshine in his life."

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput tied the knot in July 2015. The couple are parents to two kids - a daughter named Misha and a son named Zain.

Kangana Ranaut directorial and starrer Emergency is all set to begin soon. While Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade and Mahima Chaudhry have already joined the film’s cast, Milind Soman now has been roped in to essay the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. He was the Chief of the army staff during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.

Talking about the character and about Milind Soman, Kangana Ranaut says, “Sam Manekshaw was the hero of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971. Milind Soman’s overpowering screen presence and talent were ideal for the kind of actor we were looking for to play this important role. Sam Manekshaw had clarity of vision, was a strong-headed individual and his relevance is huge in the film. The film showcases how two very strong-headed personalities, Mrs. Gandhi and Sam Maneskshaw, worked together to fight the war against Pakistan. This chapter of history intrigues me a lot as it delves into how things worked and panned out for them. We are privileged that Milind Sir will be playing this role. I hope this film does justice to his enormous talent and great screen presence.”
