Bharti Singh: Working on The Kapil Sharma Show with everyone is a very big deal for me

Bharti Singh has had a long association with fellow comedian Kapil Sharma. She says she waited for about nine months to work with him once again.

Bharti will be essaying the character of Titli Yadav, Bhachcha Yadav's (comedian Kiku Sharda) wife and mother of his 11 children in "The Kapil Sharma Show".

"The wait was longer for me than the rest of the audience because when the rumors started (about Kapil's show coming to an abrupt end), I called up Kapil and assured him that no matter what the world is trying to say, we know how you really are," Bharti said in a statement.

"I told him that I wanted to work with him and he said, 'Yes Bharti, whenever I come back, I'll make sure that I work with you and Krushna'.

This conversation happened around eight-nine months ago.

"In between, even I thought that he might not do it and I started getting offers from other shows, but I had decided that unless he tells me that he isn't going to do it and I should carry on, I would wait for him." She waited for his return patiently.

"Now the wait is finally over and on December 29, we are going on air," she said.

"The Kapil Sharma Show" will premiere on Saturday on Sony Entertainment Television.

"It is a very big deal for me. The audience must have seen Kapil, Krushna, Kikuji, Chandan and Bharti in different shows and as individuals - now we are all coming together. With all our energies combined, we are hoping for an amazing season and lot more love and support from the audience," she said.

Asked to share her special moment from the shoot, she said: "When we were doing our technical for the first episode, I mentioned that I want to leave for the day since I was done. But the team asked me to wait and came in with a cake.

"Kapil bhai remembered that it was my first marriage anniversary with Harsh and I celebrated my anniversary on set with my loved ones. It was very emotional for me and just thought about how much Kapil bhai takes care of such small details. So, I just want to say that I love you Kapil bhai, and I wish that you are always healthy and that your show keeps going on because, in life, people have many struggles and very fewer people make you laugh."

Earlier this year, Kapil took a break from showbiz after a string of untoward incidents including a fight with co-actor Sunil Grover on a flight.

"People have given a lot of love to me. They used to ask me, 'When is your show coming back?' and they asked the same question to the channel as well. And so, the channel told me, 'Let's make a new season'," Kapil had told IANS in an interview.

‘It was different to see Emraan Hashmi in the non-romantic image,’ says Cheat India actress Nanda Yadav

Actress Nanda Yadav says working with her "Cheat India" co-star Emraan Hashmi was really chilled out.

In the film, Emraan plays Rakesh, who is heading a nexus where he gives merit seats to undeserving students to earn money. Nanda plays Malini Avasthi, who is an integral part of Rakesh's group.

"Working with Emraan Hashmi was really chilled out. He is a professional and I didn't see a single day where one has to wait for him. He knows the value of time. First, it was different to see Emraan Hashmi in the non-romantic image. But Soumik Sen (director) has already visualised him in that character and it was very convincing," Nanda said in a statement.

"I had a great time shooting with him and being directed by Soumik, since the day one of my schedules, the director knew what he wanted. There were no extra shots or lengthy time taking changes just for the heck of it. My look and my character is the little opposite of my glam avatar and I really liked playing the character," she added.

Farhad Samji on Rohit Shetty: We have done 11 films together so we are more than a family

Screenwriter-director Farhad Samji says that due to his 11-year-old association with filmmaker Rohit Shetty, he feels that the kind of chemistry he shares with the "Singham" director would be difficult to have with others.

Farhad had teamed up with Rohit for films like "Golmaal 3", "Bol Bachchan" and "Chennai Express". The two joined forces again, this time for the forthcoming film "Simmba".

"We have done 11 films together so we are more than a family. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses. I have worked with other directors also, but with Rohit Shetty, it's very clear. He knows what I want to convey. I also know what he wants from me. That kind of chemistry...I guess I'll hardly have it with others," Farhad told IANS.

"Whenever a writer writes, he imagines how the scene would be. Whenever I write and narrate to him, he listens to it and visually when it comes on the screen...I feel that it's 10 times better because his treatment is fantastic.

"Rohit knows that irrespective of the scale of the film or the sequences involved in it or how many cars we blow up... the audience wants good content, story, emotions, and characters."

Farhad has written dialogues for "Simmba" and when the trailer came out, actor Ranveer Singh's "Tell me something I don't know" dialogue from the film inspired memes on social media.

"Social media creates a tremendous amount of awareness. For long, we have believed that 'All publicity is good publicity'. So when a film is about to come out and there are comments on social media...sometimes, you wonder 'How can they comment like this?' But some people do react in such a way.

"Even if you see a hit film...like if we watch 'Sholay' or 'Lagaan', they are all masterpieces, but every person has a different view. If you will ask 10 people, at least two will still not like them. I get attracted more to the critical social media views. People give positive reviews also," he said.

As of now, he is excited to see how the people will react to the film.

"It is not a light comedy. There is a proper message given in a commercial way," he said.

"Simmba" will show how a corrupt police officer eventually stands up against the rapist.

5 Reasons To Watch Saqib Saleem’s Digital Debut Rangbaaz

Saqib Saleem (Source: Instagram | @zee5)qSaqib Saleem (Source: Instagram | @zee5)

Saqib Saleem is one of the most under-utilised actors in Bollywood right now. His films may have had their highs and lows at the box-office in his career so far, but the characters he has played manage to leave the audience entertained. I remember watching Mujhse Fraaaandship Karoge and instantly developing a soft corner for his character, Vishal. The actor has, since then, done eight movies in total and has now entered another medium of entertainment through ZEE5’s web series called – Rangbaaz. I watched all the 9 episodes over the last few days and here are 5 reasons why I think you should watch it.

Here you go!

 1. Saqib’s Transformation

The actor who is usually very strict about his workout regime and fitness had to put on weight to play Shiv Prakash Shukla‘s character. While it may look like a small adjustment, the change reflects immensely on his character, making it even more interesting. He has worked hard on perfecting the characteristics and dialect of a guy from UP, making his on-screen persona even more believable.

2. Aahana Kumra and Saqib’s Chemistry

Saqib’s character is one with many layers, each coming to light in the most unexpected ways. The opening shots of the show portray his romantic side with Aahana, who plays his love interest. The actors don’t share too much screen space but their chemistry is palpable even through their old-school, over-the-phone romance. Aahana has impressed the audience multiple times with her performances and continues to do so with Rangbaaz as well.

3. Old-School Gangster-Cop Drama

The secrecy, the chase, the high-intensity gunfights are the highlights of the show. There are many elements that make this old-school gangster drama a must-watch for all thriller fans.

4. Ranvir Shorey as Siddharth Pandey

Ranvir plays Siddharth Pandey, the cop who is hell-bent on bringing down the deadliest gangster of UP. The constant tension between him and Shiv makes this gangster-drama even more interesting. You want to root for the cop but Saqib’s acting skills make it very difficult to detest this character. You may hate what Shiv does, but every single time that the cops get too close to him, you know you want him to get away.

5. The Plot Twists

The plot twists keep you entertained and hooked until the end of each episode. The life of the deadliest gangster from the 90s looks rather intriguing and you won’t be able to help yourself from binge-watching it.

So, add it to your list of ‘shows to binge-watch’ right now!

Despite Zero all set to become SRK's eighth highest grosser, it's one of the biggest disappointments of 2018

Director Aanand L Rai's Zero has turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year. The romance drama, which was expected to be one of the monstrous hits at the box office failed to impress the audience. While we were hopeful that it will cross the Rs 100 crore mark in its opening weekend, the film has not achieved that milestone even in 5 days.

Chennai Express - Rs 226.70 crore

Happy New Year - Rs 205 crore

Dilwale - Rs 148 crore

Raees - Rs 139 crore

Jab Tak Hai Jaan - Rs 120.65 crore

Ra.One - Rs 115 crore

Don 2 - Rs 106 crore

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - Rs 86 crore

FAN - Rs 85 crore

Zero - Rs 81.32 crore

Since the budget of the film is very high, we don't it will recover it through its theatrical run. Shah Rukh plays a vertically challenged man Bauua Singh in the movie directed by Raanjhanaa and Tanu Weds Manu franchise helmer and also features Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. While the audience loved the performances of the lead stars, the story failed to impress the moviegoers. It is clearly visible that 2018 was not for Khans and we hope all of them come back with a bang in the next year. (Also Read: Ali Fazal left speechless with Shah Rukh Khan s Bauua Singh in Zero)

Apart from the lead cast, the film also features R Madhavan, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and Abhay Deol in pivotal roles. It is produced under the banners of Red Chillies Entertainment and Color Yellow Productions. Since Simmba is hitting the screens this Friday, Zero will lose the maximum screens at the ticket windows. Anyway, do you think the film will cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic market? Tweet to us...

Kangana Ranaut & Malaika Arora Show Us How To Slay In Grey

Kangana Ranaut & Malaika Arora

We’re planning on getting suited and booted for the winters but Kangana Ranaut and Malaika Arora are on it already! Their styles may be completely different but the way that the two of them are working the winter essential colour, grey, is quite similar. The #BossLady vibes are strong and super stylish with these looks and something to take note of.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana went for a sleek look with head-to-toe Tom Ford. The grey ensemble with the tweed jacket that had tan belt details and the matching tweed pencil skirt with zips looked sharp. The thigh-high buckle boots from Tom Ford resonated with the blazer’s belt style. Her intense kohl eyes and sleek hairdo did justice to her whole look.

Malaika Arora

Malaika had the party mode on with her grey, sparkling OOTD. She chose to wear a sequinned pantsuit from Rachel Zoe that had a single-button blazer and wide-leg pants. The fashionista teamed it with a black clutch and added some colour via an emerald pendant. Her neutral dewy look made sure the shiny ensemble was in focus and her loose mane went with the vibe of the outfit.

Which one of these looks are you vibing with for the party season this winter? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Writer Sanjay Raut on Thackeray: How could CBFC decide what is right or wrong on saheb's life?

Politician Sanjay Raut, who has written the story of "Thackeray", based on the life of Bal Thackeray, says that nobody can ban the film and that the CBFC, which has raised objections on the movie, will understand the vision of the Shiv Sena founder.

During the trailer launch of the film on Wednesday, Raut told the media here: "We have projected Balasaheb exactly the way he lived his life, the way he expressed his opinions on his people and political situations. We did not fictionalise anything. Abhijit (Panse, director of the film) projected everything in a realistic manner in the film."

"Nobody can ban the film. It is the story of Thackeray . How could someone stop that? Balasaheb banned many people during his time. Did you people forget that? How could CBFC decide what is right or wrong on saheb's life? Only family members know that. I am sure even the censor board will understand the vision of Balasaheb. They will take time, but they will understand."

According to reports, the trailer of "Thackeray" faced objections over a few scenes and sentences that could possibly cause problems and hurt religious sentiments.

The film features National Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Bal Thackeray.

In the trailer, it is clear that Nawazuddin's Thackeray is commenting on the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the Hindu-Muslim riots that took place in Mumbai in 1992. It also shows how the politician commented on the India and Pakistan relationship during his active political years.

The trailer launch took place at the Carnival, Imax theatre, where the spirit of Marathi culture was celebrated. Thousands of followers of the Shiv Sena party and Thackeray gathered at the venue. His family members -- Uddhav Thackeray, Rashmi Thackeray -- along with actress Amrita Rao and other crew members were also present.

The place was decorated with a picture of Thackeray and his sketches that he made as a cartoonist at the beginning of his career.

"Thackeray" will be releasing on January 25 in Hindi and Marathi languages.

After Karan Johar, another gossip personality has turned RJ to entertain us and it's Kareena Kapoor Khan. While KJo plays love guru and gives relationships advice through his show, Bebo's What Women Want throws light on a female's mental, physical and social needs. In the latest episode of the show, fashion designer Masaba Gupta explained how she fought trolls on social media, where she was targeted for her colour, height and body.

When Kareena asked Masaba, "What according to you do woman want with their bodies?" She replied, "I think they want to be told that they should be as they are and that they should be comfortable as they are. And that they don't need to constantly work on themselves." She further explained that people tend to target woman after having a baby where they deal with weight issues. So as per Masaba, a woman should come as they are, be as they are and just celebrate that. (Also Read: Christmas 2018: Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, Karisma Kapoor shimmer and sparkle as they ring in the festivities - view pics!)

In such a short episode, the fashionista has showed different aspects of womanhood and definitely deserves our appreciation for it.

नवाज़ इस फिल्म में, शिव सेना के संस्थापाक, बालासाहेब ठाकरे की भूमिका निभा रहे हैं, और ट्रेलर देखकर लग रहा है के वह इस किरदार में भी कमाल कर दिखाएँगे। अमृता राव लंबे समय के बाद बड़े पर्दे पर दिखाई देंगी, वह इस फिल्म में बालासाहेब की पत्नी, मीना ताई ठाकरे की भूमिका निभाते हुए नज़र आएँगी।

Ayushmann Khurrana approves of THIS actor to play his character in the Tamil remake of AndhaDhun- find out

Director Sriram Raghavan gave audiences one of the best films this year with his edge-of-the-seat trailer with AndhaDhun starring Ayushmann Khurrana. The movie went on to earn big at the box office and the Tamil remake of the film was announced as well. Months after it was announced, now actor Siddharth has put forward his wish to star in the remake. Yesterday, while interacting with his fans on Twitter, when the actor asked if he should star in AndhaDhun Tamil remake, his fans responded in affirmation. And so did Ayushmann Khurrana.

Responding to Siddharth's tweet, Ayushmann said, "Go for it machaan! ??."

To which, Siddharth said, "Ab aap Keh Rahe ho tho... ?."

AndhaDhun, bankrolled by Viacom 18 Pictures, was a story about a blind pianist. Director Sriram apparently got the idea of developing this story into a film from a French short film, The Piano Tuner by Oliver Trinier. AndhaDDhun, which was made on budget of Rs 32 crore, crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide. The film left behind big-budget films like Raazi, Sanju and PadMan in an annual survey conducted by IMDB. AndhaDhun also recently won big at the Star Screen Awards 2018. Phew!

It wouldn't come as a surprise if the Tamil remake featuring Siddharth (we wish) does well at BO!

Nawazuddin Siddiqui looks strikingly similar to Balasaheb Thackeray and we have a proof- view pics

One of the most awaited trailers of the year dropped today. Nawazuddin Siddiqui in and as Bal Thackeray in his biopic has impressed us with his startling similarity with the late politician. Goes without saying that the actor has put in tremendous effort to get his look right. Not only did Nawaz spent time getting his look right, but the actor also made sure that his Marathi accent is at par. Aashish, who was Nawaz's tutor while filming, had earlier told us, "Nawazuddin has made a lot of progress. He has already covered up most of the speeches of Balasaheb Thackeray. We covered that in 20-25 days and I guess, we still have 20-25 days to get some more finesse into all his dialogues and speeches."

And after watching the trailer, it definitely seems that Nawazuddin has invested a lot of time working on the body language and look of Balasaheb. To make you believe the same, we have listed four pictures of Nawaz looking strikingly similar to Bal Thackeray:

asdsad bala 1 bala 2 bala 3

Amazing, isn't it? Meanwhile, the trailer of Sanjay Raut's production is getting a positive response from the audience. And maybe that is the reason why the makers have planned the sequel well in advance. During a media interaction earlier this year, the producer had said, "We can t sum up his life in one film. So, we are planning to make another part of his biopic as its sequel and we have started working on that aspect as well. Working with Balasaheb (Thackeray) was my dream. I have started visualising this new dream so that I can revisit my fond memories with him. I always tell that I can t live without him and through this film, I will be able to fulfill my wish."

Directed by Abhijit Panse, Thackeray is scheduled to release on January 25, 2019.

Tigmanshu Dhulia: It is imperative we teach our children to respect women not just from our family or social circle, but women in general

Actor-writer-director Tigmanshu Dhulia feels the society is going down the drains at present and says it is imperative to teach children to respect women from the start.

"I think today's society is going down the drains. The value system, the respect for women; I mean we see it every day in papers. The reasons are different and more politically driven, but we will not go down that road now. I would say it is imperative we teach our children to respect women not just from our family or social circle, but women in general.

"We live in the well-connected world, but we must strive to revive our value system," Dhulia told IANS in an e-mail.

He also said his generation was very lucky to witness so many things right from telegram to television to the latest technology.

"But today, it has gone down drastically. I think we are a semi feudal-semi colonial society, and we must end that. Only then will we see more respect in the society for women as well as the country," he said.

Dhulia's directorial career includes National Award winning film "Paan Singh Tomar" and "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster" and his acting prowess was captured brilliantly in projects like "Manjhi - The Mountain Man" and "Gangs of Wasseypur". He is currently seen playing the role of Shah Rukh Khan's father in "Zero".

Dhulia was present at a grand scale theatrical play of Mahabharata from the point of view of Gandhari, Kunti and Draupadi, by students of Mount Litera School International. Following its inquiry-based learning methodology, the play aimed to imbue Indian values in the students and showcase human frailties, character flaws and highlight follies of the great and good of society.

Directed by veteran theatre artist, Kriti V Sharma, the play was larger than life and successfully conveyed the messages of gender equality as well as the importance of rightly managing great power and ego.

Talking about the use of unique teaching methodologies and how important it is to imbibe Indian values in the students, Dhulia said that he studied in a Christian school and later, in perspective, he would wonder why we were not taught mythology.

"At home, we had a more 'cultural' upbringing as my mother was a Sanskrit teacher. So when these students performed the play, I think it was a great endeavor. It teaches children the complexity of the values of our society.

"I would say Ramayana and Mahabharata are not religious texts, but rather epic novels where each and every character has flaws. And as humans, we are also flawed. Nobody is perfect, and everybody faces conflicts while growing up. Teaching how to face those conflicts while maintaining our values helps build a better character," Dhulia added.

Directed by Aanand L Rai, "Zero" got a mixed reaction at the box-office with some critics calling the narrative weak, while some tagging the film as best coming from King Khan. The film also stars Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub, Abhay Deol, Sheeba Chaddha and Brijendra Kala.

#NoFilterNeha: Karan Johar recalls an incident when Alia Bhatt left him in tears

Filmmaker Karan Johar feels actress Alia Bhatt has done a wonderful job in multi-starrer period drama "Kalank", and says he got emotional after seeing her performance.

"I saw something that Alia had done in 'Kalank' and I was just so moved by the work she had done," Karan said in a statement.

"I won't disclose what it is (but) she has done something in the film. You know when I see Alia I get that feeling like I'm seeing my daughter perform. And because I have that emotion for her I just started crying in the end for some weird reason. I'm going through something internally which I'm not aware of and I just got very teary. And I rang her up and said her I got very emotional, well done," he added.

Karan opened up about Alia's performance in "Kalank" when he became part of "No Filter Neha" -- season three for an episode.

Conceptualised by Karan and his late father Yash Johar almost 15 years ago, "Kalank" is an epic drama set in the 1940s.

EXCLUSIVE! Here's how Ranbir Kapoor reacted to Katrina Kaif's jilted lover act in Shah Rukh Khan's Zero

The biggest takeaway of Shah Rukh Khan's Zero is Katrina Kaif. The way she played the role of a jilted lover is simply commendable. But people couldn't shake off the feeling that it looked quite similar to what she has gone through in real life. When she broke up with Ranbir Kapoor, rumours were rife that he had left her, which had made her really upset. The scene where she is seen frantically calling him with others betting on whether or not Aditya Kapoor, played by Abhay Deol in Zero, will pick up or not, was perhaps the biggest highlight of the movie. All of us have been there and done that. While watching that scene, the thought that popped in our heads was as to what if Ranbir watches this? How will he react? Well, he may not have watched Zero but word reached him that Katrina's storyline in the film has his reference. He obviously was amused!

A source close to the actor revealed, "Ranbir got to know of Katrina's sequences in the film and was left highly amused. He, however, doesn't plan to watch the scene or even the film for that matter." Now that is strange. Won't you be curious to know as to how you have been portrayed in a film? Guess Ranbir doesn't care!

While speaking to Vogue, Katrina opened up about her breakup saying, "I now see it (the breakup) as a blessing because I was able to recognise my patterns, thought processes and things that I had been so sure of my whole life. I could see them from a whole different perspective." That's how you move on!
