The much-acclaimed film Jolly LLB is all set to get a sequel. The first installment starred Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani in lead roles but now we hear, Arshad will not be a part of the sequel.
The makers want the second part to be even bigger and this time they plan to cast Akshay Kumar or Saif Ali Khan for the lead role. It will now depend on the dates of the two stars and who will give a nod for this film.
The script for the sequel is ready and the casting is underway.
Buzz is that even Boman Irani will not be a part of the sequel. If reports are to be believed, Paresh Rawal is being roped in for his role.
Take a look at the happenings in B-town in the week that was…
This week wasn’t the usual in Bollywood but it definitely was a cracker of a week! Aryan Khan’s abs appearance was something nobody was anticipating yet it went all viral. If that wasn’t enough, Twinkle Khanna‘s
book launch had the whole industry in splits. Her quirky one-liners
made us chuckle, guffaw and even laugh out loud. She spared none and we
love her for that. And then came the big news of Shah Rukh Khan working in a Karan Johar
production after years! There are more such amazing events that
happened this week which will make you interested in Bollywood in a new
way. Here is a gist of what all happened this week!
Twinkle Khanna’s one-liners floors all!
Not many knew of her humorous side until she started writing columns
in newspapers. Today, she has more fans than she did as an actress. A
mother of two and the wife of one of the biggest superstars of India,
Twinkle’s zany sense of humour is something we can vouch for now. She
released a book recently and the event was attended by her husband, Aamir Khan
and her mother Dimple Kapadia. It was hosted by Karan Johar who roasted
Twinkle and the answers singed some while made others laugh hard. She
teased Aamir for being a cry baby, mocked Akshay’s pajamas, killed KJo’s
mojo and even took a dig at Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone!
She rocked it so well that her husband Akshay Kumar’s SIngh Is Bliing
trailer launch seemed dull in front of that. She managed to rob Akshay’s
bling.
Salman Khan turns messiah again, and this time for real!
On Monday evening, Salman Khan reprised his popular role as Bajrangi Bhaijaan
off screen when he united four runaway teenagers with their families.
This is something the actor decided to do when he heard stories of how
these kids had run away from their homes and now wanted to be reunited
with their parents. Mumbai-based Antara Desai, who runs a company that
helps celebrities associate with various charitable campaigns got in
touch with Salman and helped him take on this cause. She says, “Bajrangi Bhaijaan
has had a tremendous impact on everyone and Salman was quite keen to
help these kids out. He has funded the entire initiative right from
paying for the parents to come down, to making sure they have a secure
future. On Monday evening, he reunited four kids from different parts of
the country — who had run away — with their parents. All four were boys
between the ages 11 and 16.” The actor will never stop helping others
because that makes him happy and this initiative will truly help the
kids!
Abs-tatic Aryan Khan takes after his father Shah Rukh Khan!
Shah Rukh Khan may be the reigning king of Bollywood but we cannot get over just how SMOKIN’ hot his son Aryan Khan
has grown up to be! From being the lanky little boy who was somewhat
shy of the cameras, Aryan has grown up to be quite a lady killer. Who
would have thought that SRK’s eldest son would one day give him serious
competition in the six-pack abs department. SRK recently shared a merge
picture where both he and Aryan are shirtless and both obviously have a
rocking set of washboard abs. The hilarious captions “Sada tumne ABS
dekhe, hunar ko na dekha” is written across the picture which had us
ROFL!
Deepika Padukone is the real queen, not Kangana Ranaut!
It started a controversy of sort as to who is the reigning actress of Bollywood, Deepika Padukone or Kangana Ranaut.
Rumours suggested that the curly haired babe is the one drawing nearly
11 crore. In fact, that’s what triggered off a debate on who gets paid
the highest. Turns out it’s Deepika who takes home a lot of money. She
gets 7 crore for every film while Kangana ranges from 6-7 crore. Alia
takes the third spot with 3-4 crore followed by Priyanka Chopra and
Anushka Sharma. Yes, it is kinda strange to see Alia pocketing more than
Priyanka but it seems she does!
Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt in a Gauri Shinde’s film with Dharma Production!
When on Alia, the one news that created an uproar is Karan Johar’s
announcement about his next. It not only has Shah Rukh Khan in the cast
but also has Alia too. Plus, it is a Gauri Shinde film! Now how good can
this get. But don’t get any funny ideas, Shah Rukh will not romance
Alia but it will be all about their love. Now this is seriously the best
thing that we have heard this week. An unusual pairing which will
definitely make an unusual film. Can’t wait!
GS Bawa, Chairman of Bawa Group of Hotels, nominated member of
Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) Maharashtra and Chairman
of Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Matunga, held a special screening of
Akshay Kumar's Singh is Bliing on Thursday, October 1, at a theatre in
Juhu.
The cast and crew of the movie including Akshay
Kumar, Amy Jackson, Kay Kay Menon, Prabhudheva and others were present
on the occasion. Prominent dignitaries included HE Kaptan Singh Solanki
(Governor of Punjab and prominent leader of Shiromani Akali Dal,
Punjab), Ushpal Singh, Ashish Shelar, Charan Singh Sapra, Pahlaj
Nihalani, Gurpreet Kaur Chadha, Warvam Singh, Bhupinder Singh
Minhas, Surjeet Singh, Surinder Singh Bright, Kripashankar Singh,
Principal Kiran Mangaonkar and all managing committee members of Guru
Nanak Khalsa College.
GS Bawa's children Kiran Bawa, Karan Bawa
and Vikram Bawa ensured that the event was a grand success and looked
after the guests. Other celebrities who were seen enjoying the movie
were model Sandhya Shetty, Arjun Punj, Puneet Issar, Manmeet of Meet
Bros, Kishwar Merchant, Upen Patel, Karishma Tanna, comedian Guggi, Prem
Chopra, Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu.
A langar was organised for the 4,500 guests and a turban expert helped
them wear turbans to get the feel of the characters in the film. GS Bawa
said, "We want to celebrate the movie, which depicts the Sikh community
in all its splendour." Akshay Kumar
said, "We are grateful to SGPC and GS Bawa for going out of their way
and extending all possible support for our film. This movie brings out
the joie de vivre of Sikhs who are larger than life and believe in
celebrating and living life king size."
A popular ad campaign goes, ‘It’s your life, make it large’. Well, this is exactly the advice that Akshay Kumar gave to Sidharth Malhotra when they were bonding on the sets of Brothers.
A popular ad campaign goes, ‘It’s your life, make it large’. Well, this is exactly the advice that Akshay Kumar gave to Sidharth Malhotra when they were bonding on the sets of Brothers.
“Sidharth is still establishing himself in the industry and it is a known fact that when he started off in Mumbai, he was living in a small apartment. However, now that he has started doing well in his career, he is thinking of buying a house for himself as well. In a casual conversation, Akshay asked him about his plans. When Sidharth spoke about a buying a small house to begin with, Akshay suggested that he think big and pick up a bigger house,” informs a common friend.
Since the Khiladi is also an outsider like Sidharth, investing in a house is a key thing that he does suggest to his near and dear ones. He believes that while it brings in an element of security, it also acts as a drive for an individual to work harder.
“He told Sid that if he is thinking of a two-bedroom flat, he should actually pick a 4BHK. If he plans to bring in his parents, he should think of something even bigger. He even suggested that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to even keep on an entire floor to himself, as a house is long-term investment and a safe one as well,” the source continues.
When Sid expressed concerns over earning enough moolah to pay off a loan on the house, AK told him that based on personal experience, only if someone thinks a few notches higher would he be able to earn more as well. “Akshay told Sidharth that ‘Tu darr mat, bas le le; agar loan lena padta hai toh woh bhi kar, par soch mat kyonki paisa aa jaayega’,” the source adds.
Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra's "Brothers" is scaling new heights at the box office. The film will soon beat the lifetime box office collection record of "Dil Dhadakne Do".
In eight-day, "Brothers" has earned Rs 74.60 crore from the domestic box office. The film is now the ninth highest Bollywood grosser of 2015 and after adding its second Saturday's box office collection, "Brothers" will become eight highest grosser.
"Brothers" need approximately Rs 2.28 crore, which will be earned on its ninth day at the box office, and along with that, the film will break Rs 76 crore mark of "Dil Dhadakne Do".
The film, directed by Karan Malhotra will dominate in its second week, as the new releases have opened to a very low response.
Meanwhile, talking about the success of the film, Sidharth said that it is encouraging that people are watching his film.
"It's an encouraging thing that so many people were eager to see the film. I must be doing something that they (masses) are liking. It's extremely encouraging and positive," he told IANS.
The action-packed family drama, which is an official remake of Hollywood film "Warriors", was released on 14 August. The film is Akshay's biggest opener and Sidharth's second biggest opener after "Ek Villain".
Produced by Dharma Productions and Fox Star, the film also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Jackie Shroff in prominent roles.
Back in 2008, Akshay Kumar set the Indian box office on fire with Singh Is Kinng. That film introduced filmgoers to Akshay's Harpreet Singh, a guileless Sikh do-gooder who gets caught up in mafia shenanigans. It also featured Akshay rapping a duet with Snoop Dogg on the soundtrack, which amuses me to no end. This October, the film gets a sequel with Singh Is Bliing (misspelling intentional).
Singh Is Bliing is directed by Bollywood's new master of hyperbole, Prabhudeva. Prabhudeva's previous directorial efforts include Salman Khan's Wanted, Kumar's Rowdy Rathore, and Ajay Devgn's ludicrous Action Jackson. While his films have taken on a repetitive feeling, I'm a fan of Kumar's goofy charisma, and this kind of action spectacle suits him, so I'm going into Singh Is Bliing cautiously optimistic.
The new film features Kumar as Raftaar Singh, a young (?) man who must choose between leaving the nest to find a job and having an arranged marriage. He flees, and runs into trouble, as men in his situation are wont to do. The film co-stars Amy Jackson (Shankar's I) as a clothesrack, and the ineffably sinister Kay Kay Menon as a gangster who has it in for Kumar. Jackson doesn't inspire much confidence, but Kay Kay Menon is a guilty pleasure who doesn't get nearly enough work.
