Blue film clip instead of songs played at 'Desi Kattey' music launch

सुनील शेट्टी, जय भानुशाली और आशुतोष राणा स्टारर फिल्म 'देसी कट्टे' के म्यूजिक लॉन्च पर कुछ ऐसा हुआ, जिसकी वजह से वहां मौजूद सभी लोग शर्म से पानी-पानी हो गए।

दिल्ली में आयोजित इस फिल्म के म्यूजिक लॉन्च पर फिल्म के गानों के बीच स्क्रीन पर पॉर्न फिल्म की क्लिप चल गई। हालांकि ये क्लिप कुछ सेकेंडों के लिए चली, लेकिन इसकी वजह से आयोजक शर्मसार हो गए और वहां मौजूद लोग झेंप गए।

सूत्रों के मुताबिक, इस पॉर्न क्लिप को तुरंत रोक दिया गया, लेकिन फिल्म के सितारे और दर्शक इसकी वजह से सन्न रह गए। इस मौके पर फिल्म के कलाकार सुनील शेट्टी, जय भानुशाली, आशुतोष राणा, टिया बाजपेई, साशा आगा और अखिल कपूर समेत देसी कट्टे के निर्माता-निर्देशक आंनद कुमार मौजूद थे। फिल्म के संगीत निर्देशक कैलाश खेर भी इन सब के साथ वहां थे।

आनंद कुमार ने कहा, 'भले ही यह चंद सेकेंड के लिए हुआ, लेकिन इसकी वजह से हम शर्मसार हो गए क्योंकि हमारे परिवार वहां मौजूद थे। हमने उस इवेंट के लिए एक स्थानीय व्यक्ति को बुलाया था और उसने अपने कंप्यूटर में मौजूद क्लिप को चला दिया। वो अपनी गलती के लिए माफी मांग चुका है।'

It's Akshay versus Akshay at the box office

आप सोच रहे होंगे कि 23 जनवरी को आखिर अक्षय कुमार की जिंदगी में ऐसा क्या घटने वाला है? दरअसल 23 जनवरी को अक्षय कुमार की दो फिल्में एक साथ रिलीज हो सकती है और अगर ऐसा हुआ तो ना सिर्फ दोनों फिल्मों के निर्माताओं को नुकसान उठाना पड़ेगा, बल्कि अक्षय भी दो फिल्मों के बीच फंस जाएंगे।

सूत्रों के मुताबिक अक्षय की दो फिल्में 'गब्बर' और 'बेबी' एक साथ 23 जनवरी 2015 को रिलीज होंगी। सूत्रों के मुताबिक इन दोनों फिल्मों के निर्माता हर हाल में 23 जनवरी 2015 को ही अपनी-अपनी फिल्म रिलीज करना चाहते हैं। लेकिन अगर ऐसा हुआ तो अक्षय एक साथ कैसे दो फिल्मों को एक ही समय पर प्रमोट करेंगे। जाहिर है अक्षय जिस फिल्म को वरीयता नहीं देंगे, उसके निर्माता-निर्देशक उनसे नाराज हो जाएंगे।

सूत्रों के मुताबिक, बेबी के निर्माता अपनी फिल्म को दूसरी किसी फिल्म के साथ रिलीज नहीं करना चाहते। इसके लिए उन्होंने गब्बर के निर्माता संजय लीला भंसाली से अपनी फिल्म की रिलीज डेट खिसकाने के लिए कहा है। लेकिन भंसाली ऐसा करने के मूड में नहीं हैं।

भंसाली से अभी तक इस मामले में कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं मिली है। लेकिन बेबी की सह निर्माता कंपनी टी सीरिज के अधिकारियों ने इस बात की पुष्टि कर दी है कि वो अपनी फिल्म को 23 जनवरी को ही रिलीज करेंगे।

Too scared of Salman Khan?

बॉलीवुड में सलमान खान का कितना जबरदस्त खौफ है, इसका एक नजारा कल देखने को मिला, जब कट्रीना कैफ के खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन करने जा रही सिने कॉस्ट्यूम एंड मेकअप आर्टिस्ट्स एसोसिएशन ने सलमान के डर की वजह से अपना प्रदर्शन टाल दिया।

दरअसल कट्रीना कैफ से एसोसिएशन की नाराजगी उनके मेकअप की वजह से है। फैंटम फिल्म के लिए कट्रीना के मेकअप का जिम्मा इंटरनेशनल मेकअप आर्टिस्ट डेनियर बॉअर के पास है। मुंबई में सिर्फ उन्हीं मेकअप आर्टिस्ट को काम करने की इजाजत नहीं हैं, जो एसोसिएशन में रजिस्टर्ड नहीं है।

इसी वजह से फिल्मिस्तान स्टूडियो में एसोसिएशन के लोग कट्रीना के खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन करने गए थे। फैंटम की शूटिंग फिल्मिस्तान स्टूडियो में कल सुबह दस बजे शुरू हुई और विरोध जताने के लिए आर्टिस्ट तुरंत पहुंच गए। लेकिन एक खबरी के मुताबिक, सलमान के डर की वजह से इन आर्टिस्ट ने अपना प्रदर्शन टाल दिया। इससे पहले जून में जब इस एसोसिएशन ने विरोध जताया था तो सलमान खान ने मामला सुलझाया था।

सिने कॉस्ट्यूम एंड मेकअप आर्टिस्ट्स एसोसिएशन के अध्यक्ष शरद शेलर ने इस खबर की पुष्टि की। शरद ने बताया, 'हां आर्टिस्ट डेनियल बॉअर के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन करने गए फिल्मिस्तान गए थे। लेकिन कोई भी प्रदर्शन करने के लिए आगे नहीं आया क्योंकि सबको डर था कि सलमान भाई दोबारा इस मामले में आ जाएंगे। हम जल्दी ही एक मीटिंग करके तय करेंगे कि उन आर्टिस्ट को काम करने से कैसे रोका जाए, जो रजिस्टर्ड नहीं हैं।'

Film makers would get 2 crore to shoot their movie in UP

सपा सरकार एक बार फिर फिल्म नीति में बदलाव करेगी। अब यूपी में फिल्म शूट करने पर दो करोड़ की आर्थिक मदद दी जाएगी। फिल्म में यदि राज्य के कलाकार होंगे तो 25 लाख रुपये की अतिरिक्त मदद भी मिलेगी। नीति में बदलाव से प्रदेश में फिल्म उद्योग के फलने-फूलने की आस बढ़ी है।

फिल्म उद्योग की स्थापना के लिए सुविधाएं देने की कई बार घोषणा की गई, लेकिन राज्य में फिल्म उद्योग पनप नहीं सका। मुख्यमंत्री अखिलेश यादव ने फिर वर्ष 2001 में जारी फिल्म नीति में संशोधन करने का फैसला किया है। सूत्रों का कहना है कि ऐसी फिल्म जिसकी 75 प्रतिशत शूटिंग उत्तर प्रदेश में होगी, उसके निर्माता को दो करोड़ रुपये का अनुदान दिया जाएगा। अब तक अधिकतम एक करोड़ रुपये का अनुदान दिया जाता है। फिल्म की प्रोसेसिंग प्रदेश में कराने पर 25 लाख और दिए जाएंगे।

प्रमुख सचिव सूचना नवनीत सहगल ने बताया कि राज्य में बनारस, आगरा, लखनऊ, इटावा, कन्नौज, मथुरा, इलाहाबाद, चित्रकूट, नोएडा, चंदौली, फैजाबाद, विंध्याचल, सोनभद्र में शूटिंग के लिए शानदार लोकेशन उपलब्ध है। कई फिल्मों की शूटिंग चल भी रही है। कुछ और फिल्म निर्माता राज्य में फिल्म शूट करने के इच्छुक हैं। फिल्म नीति में बदलाव का प्रस्ताव जल्द ही कैबिनेट के सामने रखा जाएगा।

हाल में यूपी में आदित्‍य रॉय कपूर और परिणीति चोपड़ा की फिल्‍म दावत-ए-इश्‍क की शूटिंग हुई है। यहां इश्‍क के परिंदे फिल्‍म की शूटिंग भी चल रही है।

नहीं मिल सकी रफ्तार: 1975 में वीपी सिंह सरकार ने उप्र में चलचित्र निगम की स्थापना की थी। तीन लाख रुपये अधिकतम मदद की घोषणा हुई थी। बाद में चलचित्र निगम बंद हो गया। फिर भाजपा सरकार के मुख्यमंत्री राम प्रकाश गुप्ता ने फिल्म बंधु की स्थापना की। शत्रुघ्न सिन्हा अध्यक्ष बनाए गए। बाद में अनुपम खेर अध्यक्ष बने। सपा सरकार में राज्यसभा सदस्य जया बच्चन फिल्म बंधु की अध्यक्ष बनीं। मायावती सरकार में यशवंत निकोसे फिल्म को अध्यक्ष नियुक्त किया गया, लेकिन फिल्म उद्योग को रफ्तार नहीं मिल सकी।

Mohenjo-Daro will be released out on 22nd January, 2016

रितिक रोशन स्टारर और आशतोष गोवरीकर निर्देशित फिल्म 'मोहनजोदड़ो' को देखने के लिए अभी आपको लंबा इंतजार करना पड़ेगा। बॉलीवुड की सबसे महंगी फिल्म बताई जा रही मोहदजोदड़ो 22 जनवरी 2016 को रिलीज होगी।

आधिकारिक तौर पर इस फिल्म का बजट पता नहीं चल पाया है, लेकिन सूत्रों के मुताबिक रितिक रोशन इस फिल्म में काम करने के बदले 50 करोड़ रुपए की मोटी रकम लेंगे। अभी तक एक फिल्म के लिए इतनी फीस बॉलीवुड में किसी स्टार को नहीं मिली है।

ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि पर आधारित होने के चलते इस फिल्म के सेट्स और शूटिंग पर भी बहुत मोटा खर्च होने का अनुमान है। खबर है कि यूटीवी फिल्म की शूटिंग शुरू होने से पहले ही इसके राइट्स 125 करोड़ रुपए की मोटी रकम में खरीद चुका है। इन्हीं बातों से अंदाया लगाया जा रहा है कि मोहनजोदड़ो बॉलीवुड की सबसे महंगी फिल्म होगी।

इस फिल्म में रितिक रोशन के साथ पूजा हेगड़े नजर आएंगी। 23 वर्षीय पूजा की यह पहली हिंदी फिल्म होगी। मोहनजोदड़ो का पहला शेड्यूल दक्षिण अफ्रीका में अक्टूबर से शूट किया जाएगा।

Shah Rukh Khan gets police protection post receiving threats

फिल्म निर्माता करीम मोरानी के घर बाहर हुई फायरिंग के बाद मोरानी के दोस्त और अभिनेता शाहरुख खान को भी अंडरवर्ल्‍ड से धमकी मिलने की खबर है। इस धमकी के बाद शाहरुख के बंगले 'मन्नत' की सिक्योरिटी भी बढ़ा दी गई है।

सूत्रों का कहना है कि अली मोरानी के घर के बाहर फायरिंग करने वाले गैंगस्टर रवि पुजारी ने फोन करके धमकी दी और शाहरुख खान की आने वाली फिल्म के ओवरसीज राइट्स देने को कहा। खबर है कि मुंबई पुलिस ने इस मामले में पुजारी के एक साथी को हिरासत में ले लिया है और क्राइम ब्रांच की एक टीम मन्नत की सिक्योरिटी में लगा दी है।

शाहरुख की तरफ से इस मामले पर कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं आई है। इससे पहले शनिवार रात मुंबई के जुहू इलाके में अली मोरानी और करीम मोरानी के घर के बाहर कुछ अज्ञात लोगों ने फायरिंग की। 'राजा हिन्दुस्तानी', 'दामिनी' और 'दुश्मनी' जैसी कई ब़डी और सफल फिल्मों के निर्माता अली मोरानी को 2जी घोटाले के एक मामले में गिरफ्तार किया जा चुका है। एक न्यूज चैनल के साथ बात करते हुए गैंगस्टर रवि पुजारी ने हमले की जिम्मेदारी ली है। गैंगस्टर ने कहा कि उसने कुछ दिन पहले ही मोरानी को धमकी भरा फोन कॉल भी किया था।

BMC to conduct inquiry into closed road next to SRK's bungalow

शाहरुख खान के बंगले 'मन्नत' के साथ वाला रोड खोलने को लेकर मुंबई नगर पालिका को लेकर एक बार फिर शिकायत की गई है। वाचडॉग फाउंडेशन की इस शिकायत पर बीएमसी ने जांच करने का वायदा भी किया है।

वाचडॉग फाउंडेशन ने बीएमसी कमिश्नर सीताराम कुंते को अपनी शिकायत में कहा है कि मन्नत के बगल वाला रोड आम लोगों के लिए खोला जाना चाहिए। दरअसल, शाहरुख खान के बंगले के बगल वाला रोड माउंट मैरी चर्च तक पहुंचने का शॉर्टकट रास्ता है, लेकिन यह रोड पिछले तीन साल से बंद है।

यह रोड शाहरुख खान की सुरक्षा को ध्यान में रखकर बंद किया गया है। लेकिन रोड बंद होने की वजह से हर साल होने वाले बांद्रा फेयर में हजारों लोगों को दिक्कत का सामना करना पड़ता है। पिछली बार काफी बवाल होने पर बांद्रा फेयर के तीसरे दिन यह रोड खोला गया था, लेकिन उसके बाद फिर से बंद कर दिया गया।

वाचडॉग फाउंडेशन के ट्रस्टी निकोलस अलमीदा का कहना है कि लोगों को इस रूट पर जाने से रोकना गैर कानूनी है। पिछले साल जब यह रोड खोला गया था तो हमें भरोसा दिलाया गया था कि यह रास्ता अब हमेशा खुला रहेगा। लेकिन यह फिर से बंद कर दिया गया।

बीएससी के जोन 3 के सहायक उपायुक्त प्रशांत सतपले ने इस बात की पुष्टि की है कि बीएमसी कमिश्नर ने इस मामले में नए सिरे से जांच के आदेश दिए हैं। सतपले ने कहा, मुझे इस मामले की जांच करके कमिश्नर को रिपोर्ट देने के लिए कहा गया है।

Preity Zinta
The Mumbai police Crime Branch is probing a complaint about alleged mafia threats to well-known industrialist Nusli Wadia related to a complaint filed against his son Ness by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, officials said here Wednesday.

An aide to the 70-year-old Nusli Wadia Monday received calls and a message purportedly from absconding gangster Ravi Pujari, following which a complaint was lodged with the N.M. Joshi March Police Tuesday.

The message warned the industrialist that his "business will be in trouble" if the actress was harassed.

However, the aide's name has not been revealed by the police, nor the fact whether the phone belonged to him or to a member of the Wadia clan.

The crime branch sleuths are now investigating the genuineness of the caller's claim that he was gangster Pujari or his henchman, and the source of the call...

Hrithik Roshan's fast & furious move

Hrithik Roshan's fast & furious move
Hrithik Roshan has given his consent to collaborate with Hollywood director Rob Cohen in his next which will be set in India.

His May 2010 release Kites was supposed to be his stepping stone to Hollywood and now Hrithik Roshan seems set to finally make a splash in the West. On June 4, Hrithik Roshan refuelled the crossover rumours when he and his parents (Rakesh and Pinky Roshan) were spotted dining with Hollywood filmmaker Rob Cohen in Mumbai.

Mirror has it that Cohen visited Mumbai to cast Hrithik in his next venture and the actor has said `Yes'.

The filmmaker, who has helmed hits like The Fast and the Furious and XXX, had a long chat with Hrithik about the film, an action flick which will be shot in India.

The film will also star a parallel male lead which will be played by a Hollywood actor and Cohen will make another visit to the country, when he is ready with the final script.

A source close to the development told Mirror, "Cohen had made a few earlier trips to Mumbai and met Hrithik. This one finalised the deal."

This will be Hrithik's first Hollywood flick but the 40-year old star is already quite popular in Hollywood.

For one, Twilight star Kristen Stewart had reportedly confessed that if ever she had a baby boy, she would want him to look like Hrithik Roshan but with then boyfriend Robert Pattinson's eyes...

Movie review: Holiday – A soldier is never off duty

Even when his family drags him straight from his arrival train, to ‘see a ladki for shaadi’, he’s in his camouf lage muftis. He's an army guy, never ever off duty. Even when his family drags him straight from his arrival train, to 'see a ladki for shaadi', he's in his camouf lage muftis. He rejects the girl because she's too 'delicate' for him. Until he sees her boxing and playing games.

Then he's 'kayoed'. But while he's romancing his buxom boxer, sinister happenings are afoot in Mumbai. A bomb blast in a bus leads our one-man battalion to a captured terrorist, who he locks up in his closet (uh, huh) and cuts his nails (along with the fingers, mind you), to extract information about a 'sleeper cell' about to trigger serial blasts in the city.

So, military man Virat Bakshi (Akshay), with a little help from his cop friend Mukund (Sumeet Raghavan), and a lot of madad from a sniffer dog, sniffs out the members of a 'Sleeper Cell' - killing 12 of them at one go. But the cell head is far from asleep, playing a cat and mouse game of who kills whom first in a thrilling rebuttal. In a time of unexpected terror, director AR Murugadoss (remaking his 2012 Tamil Thupakki) deals with the possibilities of 'what if ...', warning civilians to be alert. Terrorists can live innocuously amidst us, until that dreadful moment...

Miss Lovely’ goes back to the Mumbai of the 1980s when C-grade cinema, with its mix of horror and porn, was booming. The story is told through two brothers Sonu (Siddiqui) and Vicky (Anil George), who are prolific producers of such films but their partnership is put to the test when the brothers meet Pinky, who is running away from a shady past.

Ashim who will be in the US to promote the film says, “Miss Lovely is quite a wild film.” “It challenges the definition of what an Indian film can be, so I’m really happy that US audiences will get a chance to watch it in cinemas. I’m thrilled to be working with Film Buff and Dada Films to find novel ways of getting new global cinema out there. It’s great to have partners that understand the power of what cinema can do, and are ready to stick by that.”

Kareena Kapoor to have meaty role opposite Akshay in 'Singh Is Bling'

Kareena Kapoor to have meaty role opposite Akshay in 'Singh Is Bling' Kareena Kapoor has been offered the lead opposite Akshay Kumar in Prabhudheva's much talked-about project "Singh Is Bling".

The actress, who is also on the verge of signing films with Sujoy Ghosh (in the title role of Durga Rani Singh) and Bejoy Nambiar, says she is spoilt for choice.

When asked if Kareena would have much to do in a film where Akshay Kumar plays the title role, Prabhudheva said: "The heroines in my film always have their own space in the plot. Was Sonakshi Sinha in 'Rowdy Rathore' or 'R... Rajkumar' just a decorative doll? No way! My films may be titled after the hero, but the heroine has no reason to complain."

One hopes Kareena Kapoor is sufficiently reassured.

Incidentally, Kareena and Akshay make a really hot pair in theory.

But strangely, excluding Abbas-Mustan's "Aetraaz", all their big-ticket films together like "Ajnabee", Suneel Darshan's "Talaash", Dharmesh Darshan's "Bewafaa", Sabbir Khan's "Kambakkht Ishq" have collapsed at the box office.

Mita Vashisth in Jodha Akbar

Mita Vashisth has been finalised to play the role of Maha Chuchak in Jodha Akbar. Earlier, several actresses including Urvashi Dholakia and Meghna Malik had been considered for the role. Maha Chuchak will be shown to be a power-hungry woman, who has her eye on Akbar's throne. Says Mita, "I have been told she has a reference in history. The character is completely unsual and I am looking forward to playing it.

She will come in as major antagonist creating trouble in Akbar's life." Mita, however, is waiting for a detailed narration from producer Ekta Kapoor for the role. "I will be meeting her soon. Ekta is very good at giving the finer nuances, the tone and rhythm of the character. I remember when I played Trishna in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, it was after Ekta gave a clue to the character, that I took off," says Mita, who has already played characters with grey shades in the past. 

Maha Chuchak will however be her first stong negative character. "I like the large vision they are giving to the character," smiles the actress who had played a seductive siren in Swabhimaan and recently shot for an episode of Encounter, where she is essaying a powerful role that of the head of a family based in Bihar, known for their underworld activities...

After Paa, get ready to be surprised by Amitabh Bachchan's look in Shamitabh

You saw it here first. Amitabh Bachchan, known for changing his looks to suit the character, has gone grey and haggard on us in R Balki's curiously titled Shamitabh.

He was spotted shooting at Mumbai Lokhandwala Gardens on May 31 in this get-up. He was sporting grey hair and beard.

Amitabh had earlier tweeted about the "long and ardous" look test he had to undergo for the film. The Paa artist is back at work with Shamitabh.

Balki said about the film, "We are happy to announce that the film is titled Shamitabh. We are halfway through the shoot of the film, so I will finish that and then talk more about it.

Chinese people keen to embrace mesmerising Indian culture: Liu Jianchao

Indian officials say that it is perhaps one of the most successful cultural events being held with large participation of Chinese people from various walks of life.
China has said that the 'Glimpses of India Festival', the biggest cultural event being held all over the country this year, will unravel the "mysterious and mesmerising" Indian culture to Chinese people who are "keen to learn and embrace" it.

Throughout the millennium the Indian and Chinese civilisations learnt from each other and made tremendous achievements together, China's Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jianchao said while inaugurating the festival here last night with dance performances by artists from famous Chennai-based classical Indian dance institution, the Kalakshetra.

"Even today, the Chinese people are mesmerised by the mysterious culture of India and also eager to learn more about the oriental wisdom, spirit and charm embodied in the Indian civilisation," he said at the show attended by over 1,600 people, mostly the Chinese, at the Poly theatre.

"I believe that the activities during the Glimpses also offer an opportunity and window to Chinese people to learn about India, get close to India and embrace India," Liu said about the festival which will be held in 12 cities in China in phased manner this year.

He said the Chinese and Indian dreams are closely linked to each other and mutually reinforcing and both countries have jointly established a strategic cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity...
