We all know about casting director Mukesh Chhabra making his debut as a director with Kizie Aur Manny. The film is a Hindi remake of Fault In Our Stars and the posters of the film were released earlier. The team was also shooting for the film but soon after, the director was accused of sexual harassment and he was suspended as the director of the film.

But now, Chhabra has been reinstated as the director of Kizie Aur Manny after all the allegations against him have been cleared.

A source said:

The ICC committee and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees didn’t find him guilty and he was soon reinstated as the director of Kizie aur Manny. His arbitrary suspension has been revoked. In fact, the FWICE even sent a letter citing non-observance of the provisions of POSH Act in the enquiry procedure that was conducted post anonymous sexual harassment complaints that were falsely levied on Mukesh. The filmmaker has been shooting the film for the last 2 weeks and will next travel to Paris in the first week of January for the next schedule of the film. Mukesh is back on the film and hasn’t let the ordeal affect his passion and zeal for the film. Kizie aur Manny is turning out well and everyone is happy to put the episode behind them and continue making this passion project.

Kizie aur Manny stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Singh in the lead and is scheduled to release in 2019.

#Simmba: Initial reviews deem the Ranveer Singh-Rohit Shetty combination to be a ‘paisa vasool’ movie

It is D-day for Ranveer Singh as Simmba hits cinemas in less than 24 hours. The actor, who wowed everyone with his spine-chilling portrayal of Khilji in Padmaavat, has undergone a complete makeover to play a cop for the Rohit Shetty directorial releasing on December 28. The movie is a remake of the Telugu movie Temper, so there is bound to be comparisons. However, Simmba has managed to generate a lot of buzz over the past three weeks. The trailer has already garnered a good buzz. To top it off, the songs of the movie are also climbing up the music charts. There isn t a day when the radio or the clubs aren t playing Aankh Maarey.

While it has caught the fancy of those clubbing, we are yet to see if the movie catches the attention of masses. Judging by the initial reviews coming from UAE, Simmba has hit the bulls eye. Fans and critics have taken to Twitter to announce, Ala re ala, Ranveer ala as they spread a good word about the movie.

Khaleej Times gave the movie a whopping 4 stars and said that Ranveer shines in the movie. The review reads, Ranveer proves a complete package -- here's an actor who can dance like a dream, do action like a true star, crack jokes and, when the situation demands it, specially in the second half of the movie, turn serious. Shetty's tried and tested formula works well enough for 'Simmba' to keep us hooked to our seats. He even pulls in his favourite Ajay Devgn towards the end as Inspector Bajirao Singham in an extended cameo. And just when you think you've seen it all, Shetty manages to pull off a major coup at the end -- guess who's slated to don the police officer's uniform in 2019?

These reviews have just doubled our excitement for the movie. Simmba releases tomorrow. Stay tuned to Bollywood Life to know our review of Simmba.

Actor Vivek Dahiya is enjoying breaking the monotony by playing different roles like a vampire.

A superhero fan himself, Vivek has been living his dream through "Qayamat Ki Raat" by playing a variety of roles.

"It's like I'm always looking forward to what next. Being the quintessential ideal husband on television is one thing, but playing a vampire or The Hulk gives a different high all together and a new dimension to my acting. Breaking monotony never felt so good," Vivek said in a statement.

"In the West, superheroes have a massive fan following and back home also, the younger audience is influenced and enjoy such roles. I'd like to believe that we've hit the right chord and know what's working for us so we're ready to take risks."
