"Want to bring people together through entertainment" - says Ranveer Singh on why he has gravitated towards picking family entertainers

Ranveer Singh has just delivered the biggest overseas grosser of 2021 with 83, a film that has not only been unanimously reviewed as one of the best films made to date but is also being considered as Ranveer’s best acting performance of his career! The actor has a stellar line up of projects from YRF’s Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Shankar’s remake of his blockbuster Anniyan, Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus and Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Ranveer reveals he is now focussing on handpicking projects that are family entertainers which can drive people back to the theatres for a ‘community viewing experience’.

The actor says, “I’m going through a phase where I feel like I want to focus my energies on telling stories that can be received seamlessly by the widest spectrum of audience. I have become more family oriented as a person as my years go by. I've realised that my circle has become smaller. For me, personally, right now, I cherish and appreciate the films that I can watch with my in-laws, with my parents, with kids in the family.”

He adds, “I want to focus my energies on community viewing experiences because I feel like the ones that you watch sitting together, that cinematic experience creates a bond, it brings people together, it brings families together. When I watched 3 Idiots with my friends, that's a shared experience I'll never forget. The community viewing, it binds people together, it's bonding and having become a very, very family oriented person, I now want to become a part of those films that I appreciate the most and the ones I'm appreciating the most  in this phase of my life are the ones that bring people together.”

Ranveer further adds, “So, I want to be part of films that a family can sit together, enjoy together and have that shared experience and enjoy that. What is life at the end? It’s a shared experience! I want to be a part of films that the entire family can watch and you know it doesn't make anyone uncomfortable and it's not a solo watch. I want to bring people together through entertainment.”

Chris Brown accused of raping and drugging woman; sued for $20 million

An unnamed woman has come forward and alleged singer Chris Brown of drugging and sexually assaulting her in Miami in December 2020. The 32-year-old 'Go Crazy' singer is being sued for $20 million, according to court documents filed in a Los Angeles County Court Thursday.

The accuser, who is identified as "Jane Doe," is a professional dancer, model, musical artist, and choreographer, according to the complaint. According to the People outlet, in the lawsuit, Doe alleges that while in Miami on December 30, 2020, she was FaceTiming with a male friend who was on a yacht docked at Sean "Diddy" Combs' estate. Brown allegedly took the friend's phone and told Doe "he had heard about her music and urged her to head over to Diddy's home on Star Island as soon as possible," the court documents state. Once on the yacht, Doe alleged the singer gave her a mixed drink in a red cup. They talked about her musical aspirations and "Brown offered her tips about starting a career in the music industry," according to the documents. He allegedly refilled her drink, and she said she "began to feel a sudden, unexplained change in consciousness," the lawsuit stated, adding that she "felt disoriented, physically unstable, and started to fall in and out of sleep."

The singer then took Doe to a bedroom, closing the door, and blocking her from leaving. According to the documents, he allegedly "threw [Doe] on a bed" and began to kiss her. She "mumbled" for him to stop but he "ignored" her, the complaint alleged. Brown allegedly raped Doe "then jumped up and announced he was 'done.'"

Jane Doe left shortly after with the help of a friend whom she texted. The following day, Brown allegedly contacted Doe to check on her, telling her he was "faded" and didn't recall details of their alleged sexual encounter. The lawsuit claims he "demanded" her to take a "Plan B" to "terminate any possible pregnancy," to which she obliged. In January 2021, she went to his Tarzana, Calif., home after he initiated contact, according to the complaint, and listened to music. The star's producer was present along with another female. Doe allegedly went to his home again in August when he was recording a song. While there, the singer displayed "loud and irate" behaviour when she refused his alleged advance to go to his upstairs bedroom, the lawsuit stated, adding that Brown told her she "'would never make it as an artist' unless she was willing to do what it 'takes.'"

The accuser said in the complaint that she has since "experienced dramatic mood swings, loss of appetite, panic attacks, and engaged in self-harm." She is suing Brown for sexual assault, battery, and rape, violation of the gender violence statute, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Though Chris Brown did not directly address the claims, the singer shared a pointed message on his Instagram story early Friday. "I hope yall see this pattern," he wrote, adding a blue cap emoji, which is slang for lying. "Whenever I'm releasing music or projects, 'THEY' try to pull some real bulls---."

Jane Doe's lawyer, George Vrabeck, says in a statement to People that he and his legal team intends "to hold ALL parties accountable so that we might begin to eradicate this behavior from our society." He added, "Our client deserves justice. The same justice that all victims of sexual abuse deserve."

After cameo in RRR Alia Bhatt signs another Telugu venture starring NTR Jr

After her glorified cameo in S S Rajamouli’s RRR Alia Bhatt seems to have fallen in love with Telugu cinema. The buzz in Hyderabad—and a very strong one at that—is that Alia Bhatt has signed another Telugu film, this time again opposite her RRR co-star NTR Jr.

The untitled film that goes on the floors in February is to be directed by the hitmaker Koratala Siva who earlier directed NTR Jr in the 2016 blockbuster Janatha Garage. This is his second collaboration with NTR Jr. A well-placed source from Hyderabad informs me, “NTR Jr and Alia Bhatt have become friends during RRR. He persuaded her to do the film to be directed by Koratala Siva who’s a friend of NTR Jr.”

Hopefully Ms Bhatt will have more to do this time than she does in RRR. Incidentally she is paired with Ramcharan Teja RRR and not NTR Jr.

Shah Rukh Khan’s next production Love Hostel to release on Zee5 on February 18

In December 2021, Red Chillies Entertainment, the production house run by superstar Shah Rukh Khan, released Bob Biswas on the digital platform, Zee5.

And now, the reputed production house is looking forward to releasing their next film, which is also a thriller, titled Love Hostel.

The trailer will be released in the first week of February. It’ll be a compact but effective promotional campaign that the makers plan to embark upon. In the times of new normal, a 2-3 week time period is enough to generate awareness and excitement for the film. And both Red Chillies and Zee5 are confident that their film will build up a lot of hype thanks to the casting and exciting content.”

Love Hostel is directed by Shanker Raman of Gurgaon (2017) fame and stars Vikrant Massey, Bobby Deol and Sanya Malhotra.

Karan Johar says he will cast Kunal Kapoor as the new Poo if Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is ever remade; here’s why

Filmmaker Karan Johar has found his new 'Poo' in actor Kunal Kapoor. The filmmaker took to his Twitter handle to share a new advertisement featuring actors Kunal Kapoor and Chitrangda Singh. In the ad, Kunal is seen wearing a heavy lehenga under his polo T-shirt while playing golf.

In the ad for a hospitality brand, Kunal and Chitrangda are seen talking about golf view rooms and soon we realise that the former lost a bet and had to play golf wearing a  heavy lehenga. Towards the end of the video, Kunal asked a giggling Chitrangda, “Can I change now?” She shrugged and replied, “Looks good on you.”

Complimenting Kunal, Karan Johar said that if he ever remakes Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, he will be cast as the new Poo, a character made famous by Kareena Kapoor Khan.  “If there’s ever a #K3G sequel, just know you’ll be Poo! #LooksGoodOnYou,” he tweeted.

Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi to now release a day after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s birthday

The much awaited Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was finally going to arrive in cinemas on February 18, 2022. Sadly, due to the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, all the films scheduled to release in January were indefinitely postponed. Expecting a domino effect, the trade and industry feared that Gangubai Kathiawadi’s release might be deferred by a few weeks or even months. However, today, the makers of the film pleasantly surprised everyone by announcing that the film would release in February itself, but on February 25. Coincidentally, now, the film would arrive on the big screen a day after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 59th birthday.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali was born on February 24, 1963. Gangubai Kathiawadi is his tenth film and also the second film after Black (2005) to release in his birthday month. Black, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji, was not a huge commercial success but received immense critical acclaim, including three National Awards. It now remains to be seen if Gangubai Kathiawadi also turns out to be not just a critical hit but also a huge commercial hit for the acclaimed filmmaker.

In 2015, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had revealed that he doesn’t believe in celebrating birthdays. To quote SLB, “As children, my sister and I had no birthday parties. We would take a packet of sweets to school and distribute it to our classmates. That was it. We never had birthday parties. Nor were we allowed to go to parties. Now, it has become a habit to be on my own on my birthday. And I am very happy that way.”

Nevertheless, last year, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had an intimate gathering on his birthday. The picture of him posing with Alia Bhatt, who looked splendid in a white dress, had gone viral. In 2013, in a rare instance, he cut a cake on his birthday along with the star cast of his TV show, ‘Saraswatichandra’. In 2018, there were reports that the success bash of his blockbuster film, Padmaavat, and his birthday would be celebrated in the ocean in a liner. However, reportedly, the party didn’t happen as Bhansali declined the invitation, citing seasickness.

It now remains to be seen how Sanjay Leela Bhansali shall celebrate his birthday this year. An industry insider said, “It’ll be a busy birthday for sure as it’s held a day before the grand release of his big film. He’ll be making sure the release is happening as per schedule. If a press show of Gangubai Kathiawadi is held on February 24, he’ll also be checking with his team how the media has reacted to his labour of love. Hopefully, once Gangubai Kathiawadi opens well and gets good word of mouth, he can blow the candles on the cake and pop the champagne.”

Gangubai Kathiawadi is adapted from a chapter of S Hussain Zaidi's book, 'Mafia Queens Of Mumbai', and is about a woman who rises to become a powerful underworld figure in Mumbai. Before its worldwide theatrical release on February 25, it’ll have a grand world premiere at the prestigious 72nd Berlin International Film Festival, which will be held between February 10 to February 20, 2022.

“My quotes on my son’s divorce are absolutely fabricated,” fumes Nagarjuna , will sue the portals carrying these quotes

On Thursday morning we woke up to Telugu superstar Nagarjuna’s quotes splashed across several entertainment portals. Allegedly speaking on his son Naga Chaitanya’s separation from his wife Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Nagarjuna is quoted as saying, "Naga Chaitanya accepted her decision but he was much worried about me, what I would think and what would happen to family's reputation. Naga Chaitanya consoled me very much as he thought I will be worried. It is ok to be separated. That is a mutual decision made for their individual happiness. They both have been together for 4 years in the marriage life but no problem like this came between them. Both were so close and I don't know how it came down to this decision. They even celebrated 2021's New Year together, it seems that the problems have arisen after that."

Apparently all of Nagarjuna’s comments are concocted. And for once the actor won’t take it lying down. Says Nagarjuna, “First of all, that is not my language at all. Anyone who knows me knows I don’t call my son ‘Naga Chaitanya’. Secondly the language sounds like a literal translation from Telugu, so this is probably been picked up from some desperate trashy Telugu website. We are now in the process of finding out where this nonsense has come from.”

Nag says he is shell-shocked by the concoction. “Normally I wouldn’t react to nonsense written about me. But this concerns my family. I won’t tolerate this rubbish. I want to set the record right. All my quotes on my son and Samantha are absolutely fabricated. I’ve not spoken to anyone about this. My family and I have kept quiet about it all along. Why would we speak up now? And why this morbid interest in an issue that is months old now? The couple has moved on. Why doesn’t the gossip press move on?”

Nag’s team is now in the process of taking legal action against the perpetrators of the above falsification. “We are trying to find out where these cooked-up quotes of mine originated. We will take action accordingly.”

Marvel's Ant-Man star Evangeline Lilly protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates - "This is not healthy and safe"

Marvel and Lost actress Evangeline Lilly is slamming vaccine mandates. The Ant-Man star attended a rally and sounded off on COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the 43-year-old star shared a picture from the rally she attended in Washington, D.C., this weekend to support “bodily sovereignty” — i.e., protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates. “This is not the way,” Lilly wrote. “This is not safe. This is not healthy. This is not love. I understand the world is in fear, but I don’t believe that answering fear with force will fix our problems. I was pro choice before COVID and I am still pro choice today.”

Lilly added, “I believe nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will, under threat of: violent attack, arrest or detention without trial, loss of employment, homelessness, starvation, loss of education, alienation from loved ones, excommunication from society …under any threat whatsoever.”

Back at the start of the pandemic in March 2020, Lilly announced on Instagram she was refusing to social distance “all in the name of a respiratory flu,” which led to some backlash. She later posted an apology for her comments.

A vaccine mandate for large companies was withdrawn by the Joe Biden administration this week after a Supreme Court decision blocked it. Many states and cities have their own independent vaccine requirements for various workers.

Lilly, who plays Hope Van Dyne in the Ant-Man films, isn’t the only Marvel star to come out against vaccine mandates. Black Panther star Letitia Wright posted an anti-vax conspiracy video in December.

On the work front, Evangeline Lilly next appears in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which has wrapped production and is slated for a 2023 release.
