Film Hindi Medium to become tax-free in Madhya Pradesh!

Hindi Medium starring Irrfan Khan and Pakistani actor Saba Qamar has emerged to be a hit at the box office as the film minted around INR 40 crore in its two weeks of the successful run.

Directed by Saket Chaudhary, the movie shows the struggle of a Delhi-based small time businessman and his wife who finds it difficult to get their daughter enrolled in a high-end school. Thanks to the positive word of mouth, the film that opened on a low note has been able to garner much appreciation.

Now, as per to a famous tabloid, the film has been declared tax free in Madhya Pradesh. “I am overwhelmed that the government of Madhya Pradesh and the Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan has helped us make the movie tax free in Madhya Pradesh…,” told producer Bhushan Kumar in a statement.

“This is great news…The more people watch it the more the importance of speaking our national language, Hindi gets highlighted and comes into realisation,” told the co-producer Dinesh Vijan.


Previously, speaking about Irrfan, director Saket Chaudhary in an interview with Pinkvilla had said, "It's an amazing experience because with an actor who is so good and experienced you sort of need to understand how you need to behave because it is not about simply giving instructions. Irrfan is too good and experienced enough for that. He is one of the actors who is constantly preserving energy, he is an observer and till you say action you really don't know what he is going to bring to the screen."

Tusshar Kapoor’s star-studded bash for son Laksshya's 1st birthday!

Actor Tusshar Kapoor's son Laksshya will be celebrating his first birthday on June 1 and the doting father surely has some grand plans for the special day. Laksshya, who was born through surrogacy last year, was introduced to the world by Tusshar twenty seven days later.

Now as the child turns one, Tusshar will be hosting a grand bash with numerous star kids attending the same. As per a report in a daily, Kapoor himself is looking into all the arrangements. Though Tusshar is trying to keep things a secret, the tabloid has learnt that at the party there will be a designated toddler zone, a tattoo corner, a guitarist and a corner dedicated for Insta Pics!

Tusshar discloses, "I have personally grown with Laksshya,'' he admits, adding, “My family and I feel blessed because he has truly enriched our lives. Since his arrival, there has been an outpouring of love and support from everyone."

He further adds, "I would like to keep it a secret. It'll be a close-knit group of people, who have got to know him, dropping by to wish him. I also want my family to share the moment with me so I have asked dad, mum, Ekta and my cousins to save the date."


Interestingly, ever since Laksshya was born, his grandparents - Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, and aunt Ekta Kapoor make it a point to adjust their schedules according to the baby's requirements. In fact, when Tusshar was busy shooting for Golmaal Again, he made sure that his son wasn't alone and took him along for the shoot. Laksshya was also present at his dadaji Jeetendra's birthday last month.

Parineeti Chopra hints for delaying in film Takadum with Sushant!


Parineeti Chopra captivated everybody with her performance in lately released movie Meri Pyaari Bindu. She is also shooting for Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Again.

When a famous tabloid questioned her about the movie, she specified, "It’s crazy. We are working with 14 senior, big actors who have been doing this for years. I feel so good that I get to be a part of such a franchise and be a Rohit Shetty heroine. That too in this series, which is one of my personal favourites. It has been such an amazing experience so far because they are such a cool lot. They are always joking, playing, laughing and chilling. So it’s nice spending time with all of them."

She is the new addition to the fourth installment of Golmaal along with Tabu. Speaking about her new co-star Pari told, "I know Tabu anyway because, she, Farah (Khan), Sania (Mirza) and I — we chill a lot together. It was great now to have her as a co-star in Golmaal Again."

Apart from Golmaal 4, Parineeti is set to pair up with her Shudh Desi Romance co-star Sushant Singh Rajput in Takadum. The resourceful actor was asked on the update of the film, to which she said, "Right now, we are not shooting that. I am going to finish Golmaal Again and then decide what to do next!"

The movie was about to go on floors in October 2016, but that did not happen. Previously, Parineeti spoke about SSR and Takadum saying, "I love working with Sushant (Singh Rajput). We had so much give-and- take as actors when we did Shuddh Desi Romance together. It will be amazing to work with him again."


She added, "Takadum is an intense film, which will require the two lead actors to have that chemistry and comfort level I have that with Sushant. Homi has always been on my wishlist of directors and I have always wanted to work with Dino (Dinesh Vijan). I am glad this project is finally kicking off. We start shooting, come October. I am very excited."

Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine this kind of love and adulation, says Aamir on Dangal's success in China!

Superstar Aamir Khan's Dangal is based on the real-life story of Mahavir Phogat and his daughters, Babita-Geeta - the wrestling champions of India. The movie created history in terms of numbers in China and has grossed over INR 500 crore at the box office and it has shattered all the records.

Speaking about the success the film has got, Aamir Khan told a famous daily, "We hoped that our film will be loved in China, but never in our wildest dreams did we imagine this kind of love and adulation. I am humbled."

When questioned about what is it that his cinema buffs like about him, he responded back saying, "I wish I knew the answer to that. I still don't know what connects me to my audience in India. What connects audiences with actors is inexplicable. In my case, I'd like to believe it's my good work that has formed this connection."


Adding more to the concept of numbers, Aamir Khan told, "The success of each film is important to me. That is the sole reason I work. I want everyone who sees my film to love it, be touched by it, and gain something from it. Box office numbers are an indication of how much the film has been loved; by no means is it the only yardstick."

Chitrangda Singh to become Saif Ali Khan's wife now!

Actor Saif Ali Khan is set to essay a businessman in Gauravv K Chawla's Baazaar and the story revolves around the Indian stock market. Joining him is Chitrangda Singh who will be essaying the role of Mandira, Saif's wife.

There were reports that Chitrangda replaced Prachi Desai for the role but Nikkhil Advani who is the producer insists that Singh was always the first choice.

Nikkhil told to a famous tabloid, "I'm happy that the cast is looking so exciting. We have Saif, Chitrangda, Radhika Apte and Rohan Mehra (making his acting debut). The shoot has just begun and will be wrapped up by mid-August while the film is slated for a December release. Prachi has expressed interest in working with my production house but that is for another project. As far as the role of Mandira in Baazaar is concerned, Gauravv K Chawla, my director, came up with the idea of casting Chitrangda."

Chitrangda will be seen after a break of two years so is Baazaar a sort of comeback for the actress? Nikkhil told, "I won't call it a comeback but just the fact that she hasn't done anything for quite some time was instrumental in us considering her because it's a powerful character that's silent and simmering, like a volcano about to erupt.Casting her opposite Saif makes the film about strong actors and characters."


Baazaar is scheduled for a December release this year and Saif has already started shooting for the movie. Radhika Apte will be playing Saif's secretary in the movie.

Abhishek Bachchan to become a Sanki now?

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who was last seen in Housefull 3, is yet to green light his next project. The actor's next movie has always been a topic of discussion with many curious to know what the actor will choose next.

Now, as per a famous tabloid, there is a new film that Abhishek would be doing. It is titled Sanak and will see Abhishek play the role of an angry young man. Interestingly, not only will Junior Bachchan act in the film, but he is also the man behind the script of the movie. Yes, you are right! Abhishek himself has scripted the movie and it will be his home production.

A source close to the actor disclosed to a daily, "In the film, Abhishek plays a character with a bad temper. Hence the title."


But, there is no official pronouncement about it from the actor yet.

Is Angelina finding parenting problematic without Brad Pitt?


Angelina Jolie is a strong liberated woman and she tries her level best to juggle between work and family. Her divorce with Hollywood star Brad Pitt must have left an empty space in her but she is still trying to be a good parent.

Talking to a famous tabloid, Angelina opened up about her late mother and French-American actress Marcheline Bertrand and also got emotional while speaking about her split with Brad Pitt.

Speaking about her late mother, the 41-year-old actress and film-maker told, “I would give anything for her to be with me at this time. I've needed her. I talk to her often in my mind and try to think what she might say and how she might guide me.”

Jolie also spoke about how her mother influenced her in parenting. “I try to lead by example, being conscious of others and being responsible and to help them have a broader view of the world. But really the only way I know to raise them is to really listen," she continued.

“It's perhaps the most important thing any parent can do. They are resilient children but they are children, and as much as they need help to understand the hard truths in life they also need what we all need – protection and love.”

The end of Brangelina was the breaking news of last year. Now, the estranged couple seems to be friendly with each other for the sake of their kids.

Close Jhanvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter come together for Baywatch’s screening!


Bollywood is once more, all braced up for the next generation star children to take the silver screen by storm. In line are Sara Ali Khan, Jhanvi Kapoor, and Ishaan Khatter among others. Shahid's little brother Ishaan is all set to make a dazzling debut in the Majid Majidi film Beyond The Clouds.

But, the young and handsome brother of Shahid is also in the news for his alleged link up with Sridevi's daughter Jhanvi Kapoor. That's right, the two star kids are thick as thieves and are often clicked together. Recently was no different as they came together for the screening of Priyanka Chopra's Hollywood film Baywatch.

While Ishaan, who was sporting a casual white tee, was at the wheels, Jhanvi, looking pretty in a white top, was see sitting behind.

Lately, there was a buzz that Shahid Kapoor was not too pleased with the rumours surrounding his brother and Jhanvi.  If reports are to be believed, Shahid doesn't want Ishaan's personal life to take away the focus from his debut film. Well, it does not seem like Ishaan is in the mood to accept his brother's advice, does it?

Director Majidi had spoken about Ishaan telling, "“Finally, I’m in Mumbai with a lovely team to narrate a story woven around the lives of common people. Ishaan is a wonderful boy. He is extremely talented and I feel, he will have a bright future in the film industry.”

Shahid had taken to Twitter to tell, "This ones ready to fly. Make us proud."


I'm not a very communicative person, says Aamir Khan!

Superstar Aamir Khan has as many as 20.9 million followers on Twitter and is the most followed Indian on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo. But the megastar believes in communicating with fans through his films rather than taking the social media route as he says he is "not very communicative".

After breaking records at the Chinese box office with his latest Bollywood offering "Dangal", he became the most followed Indian on Weibo this month.

Asked if he would become more active on social networking sites now, Aamir told in Malta,  "The fact is I am not the kind of person who is active on social media. I don't think that will change. Once in a while, I go online and say something.

"Right now I am in Malta for 'Thugs of Hindostan'. My entire focus is on the film. It's difficult to come out of that. I also believe that my major communication with fans in India or anywhere else is through my work. That's how I communicate with my audiences."


"I just feel that's the kind of person I am. Social media is a wonderful platform to connect with people. It's a great platform. But each one of us has a different personality. I am not a very communicative person in that sense. So, I've never been active on social media, and I don't think it will change."


However, his fan following just keeps growing, especially after "Dangal", which saw Aamir essay a retired wrestler encouraging his daughters to take up the sport that's dominated by men.

In the second photograph, Irrfan can be seen riding a horse, dressed up like late superstar Rajesh Khanna.

"Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding... So whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride -- which I didn't at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse... My look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji... Hero toh banna hi tha! (Had to become a hero some day) Filmy Influence," Irrfan captioned it.


On the work front, Irrfan's "Hindi Medium" is doing brisk business courtesy its positive word-of-mouth publicity.

Hope Kangana casts me in her film, says Irrfan khan!

Actor Irrfan Khan tells he hopes Kangana Ranaut casts him in her directorial project "Teju".

Irrfan and Kangana were once to star in a film titled "Divine Lovers" but there was buzz that she declined the role telling she is interested only in solo leads. After that, Irrfan had remarked how Kangana had gone out of reach. Later they buried the hatchet.

"Kangana is fantastic actor. I heard she is now becoming a director. I hope she will cast me in her film. The fact I like about her is the way she has made her place in the industry, and her career graph has been phenomenal," Irrfan told on the sidelines of the success party of his newest film "Hindi Medium".

He is happy about the way the movie has done.

"I'd like to congratulate our team and thank the audience for praising our film. Many times, I tell my film's producers that getting me to do the film's marketing will have not have any effect on the business because I feel if the media likes our film, they play a huge role in its marketing. The audience also goes to theatres by word of mouth," Irrfan further added.

"Hindi Medium" also features Pakistani actress Saba Qamar and the irreverent Deepak Dobriyal in key roles. The movie was made at a budget of Rs 22 crore.


Will work with Athiya if focus on her, says Suniel Shetty!


Actor Suniel Shetty tells he wishes to work with his actress-daughter Athiya Shetty, but he has a condition the "focus" should unmistakably be on her.

Asked if he hopes to share screen space with Athiya, Suniel told, "Definitely would want to. Very clearly if the focus is on Athiya and papa plays second fiddle, he will do it. Otherwise, he won't."

"It's Athiya's career and it's her period. It's only fair if she dictates and I follow. If it's the other way round, I will not do it," further added the 55-year-old.

Athiya made her acting debut in 2015 with the film "Hero" and is currently busy shooting for her second film "Mubarakan".

The proud father feels she has evolved with time.

"She has become more confident. I am seeing a different person in Athiya. She is very focused and disciplined... Because Bollywood is about eating right, looking good and developing your own personality, which she is doing beautifully. Somewhere down the line it influences my son Ahan, who is extremely conscious about everything right now. He has become more conscious, focused and responsible. That is what has happened with Athiya too," he told.

Suniel's son Ahan is all set to make his entry into Bollywood with Sajid Nadiadwala's forthcoming film.


Speaking about that, Suniel told, "He is very excited. Who wouldn't be excited to star in a film by Sajid Nadiadwala? Ahan is a very hardworking and disciplined boy. So I know he will not trouble his producers and directors. Only luck has to support him. He has to work doubly hard on his body now because he has got competition at home."

Farhan Akhtar wants Shraddha Kapoor in Akshay Kumar's Gold?


Murmurs about Farhan Akhtar and Shraddha Kapoor's alleged affair refuse to die down. Rumours about the two actors being more than just friends emerged when they were shooting for Rock On 2 last year. And though the actors have time and again repudiated the rumours, photos and videos of the two from parties have a different story to tell.

Now, if a report in a famous tabloid is to be believed, then Farah Akhtar is keen on casting his rumored ladylove Shraddha Kapoor in his next production, Gold. The film is directed by Reea Kagti and stars Akshay Kumar in the lead.

The movie is a biopic based on the life of athlete Balbir Singh, who won the first ever gold medal at Olympics post the Independence.

Akshay Kumar had pronounced his association with the movie and also disclosed the first poster of it on social media few months back. But, the leading lady is yet to be pronounced. Given that Farhan is producing the film with Ritesh Sidhwani, rumours are rife that he has been recommending Shraddha's name!


This is not the first time that a report has come out which suggests Farhan's involvement in Shraddha's career. In the past too, media has been abuzz with the news that Akhtar has been trying to boost his so-called girlfriend's career.

After Rambo, Tiger Shroff’s goal is Spiderman now!

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is all geared up to step into the shoes of the iconic action genre actor Sylvester Stallon in the Rambo Remake. The movie is being helmed by Siddharth Anand and will release next year.

Tiger who is overjoyed to essay Rambo said a tabloid, "I was over the moon when the offer came along.I've grown up watching Sylvester Stallone films. The word `action' conjures up images of guys like him and Bruce Lee in my mind. I'm not stepping into his shoes; I'm paying him a tribute with the Rambo remake. I feel like I am up for the challenge. Subconsciously, I've been preparing for it all my life. He put out a lovely tweet to wish us. It felt like a dream come true."

But it's not just the physical aspect of the character that is the primary focus of the film. Tiger explained, "It's the mental turmoil of the character that will be the real challenge. I haven't started prep yet since I have to complete the work on Baaghi 2 and Student of the Year 2 before Rambo rolls. It will be one of the most physically and mentally draining films I've ever done. Other than his physicality, the fact that the character has gone through so much at a young age, bringing those experiences to life will be a challenge."

"You really feel for the character and root for his fight. He's the underdog, a bit of an outcast who tries to fit in and transforms into a killing machine but you still feel for him," he added stating that the first Rambo movie is his favourite and probably the closest to the movie they are making.  

Tiger also loved the Rocky series and told, "I love watching it even today. I watch videos of the songs Eye of the Tiger (from Rocky 3) and Hearts on Fire (Rocky 4) every time I go to train in the gym or before stage performances. Mr. Stallone really has given the audience so much."


Ask Tiger if the Rambo remake is the first step for Tiger to endeavor into Hollywood and actor discloses, "My ultimate goal is to be Spiderman so Rambo is a good platform to get whatever talent I have to a bigger platform. The Rambo remake film is definitely one of my biggest platforms but Spiderman is the goal."

Kangana Ranaut opens up about Vidya Balan's 'credit' taunt!

Kangana Ranaut was lately embroiled in a controversy with her Simran co-writer Apurva Asrani over the writing credits for the film. Apurva condemned the makers of the movie - Hansal Mehta and Shailesh Singh for giving Kangana the co-writer's credit and printing her name before his on the film's poster.

What followed next was a war of words between Apurva, Hansal, Kangana and Shailesh.

A week after the entire controversy, actress Vidya Balan took a dig at Kangana. Vidya, who is presently working on Tumhari Sulu, posted a picture of her holding a credit card on her Instagram account. She captioned the photo as, "Who needs credit when your director gifts you this card?!! Thankoo Suresh Triveni."

While Apurva Asrani laughed over the joke that the Tumhari Sulu producers made out of the whole controversy on 'additional credit', we wondered what would Kangana react to it.

To know that, we got in touch with the powerhouse actress. When we questioned Kangana about Vidya's dig, she joked, "Haha I read about that. Vidya is a dear friend and honestly, I am not a thin-skinned person when it comes to people taking digs or jibes at me."
 
Directed by Hansal Mehta and produced by Shailesh Singh, Kangana Ranaut's Simran is all set to release on September 15, 2017. The first teaser of the movie released two weeks back and Kangana's chaplin-sque avatar impressed the audience. The actress also has Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi in her kitty.

It's been a 9 year journey, would want to try something else now, says Munmun Dutta aka Babita of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah!





TV's exemplary hot neighbor, Babita aka Munmun Dutta from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is presently on a travelling spree. The actress was lately in Montenegro, a small medieval-style country in Europe. A regular traveller that she is, her Instagram posts are occupied with wonderful photos from her holiday. But lately the Munmun Dutta had been piqued by fans of the same show whether she had called it quits to the show which seemingly irritated her.

So has she actually quit her nine-year-old journey, she said "Oh No No! I have been a part of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah for nine years. It's like a family but you know it's severely annoying when people simply come and keep asking whether I have left the show whenever they see me travel. My holidays aren't planned and are spontaneous. If I get a three-four day off, I leave for my travel and trips. But all because I am not seen on camera and am travelling doesn't mean that I have quit the show."

Having said that, how much does MunMun enjoy being Babita even after nine years of TMKOC. She tells, "It's overwhelming to see people love Babita so much. But that doesn't mean I don't want to change or shift what I am doing currently. Of course, I would love to do and explore other genres. I would definitely want to do something else now. Be it a dance reality show or singing, I would want to do it." After getting annoyed with the continuous questions of her quitting the show, MunMun also posted a message on her Instagram.


She put up a picture from her visit to Montenegro with a caption- 'To everyone who asks me this irritating question whether I have left TMKOC, just because they can't handle the fact that I am travelling and living my life, so for them, I have 1 question.- R U FREAKING BLIND?' Munmun became a household name essaying the role of Babita, but the actor sure knows to follow her wanderlust heart & travel between her shoot schedules.

Teejay captioned it as, "Okay, you, I don't mind you hanging out on my sofa. Just stay on your own side. And one more thing, DO NOT PINCH MY CHEEKS! @twinbabydiaries."

The Bohra's lately also got a photo shoot done seemingly which is the first official photo shoot of the babies too. In one click, Karanvir is seen snuggling to his daughter, while in another Teejay gets a kiss from the tiny toddler. In one Karanvir is seen feeding his baby a milk bottle while our favourite has to be one of the twins looking adorable as they pose together.


She Instagrammed a photo of Karanvir holding one of their daughters with the following message, "These are the moments when time stands still. :) There is such a profound joy in holding a sleeping baby! ;) Everyday babies give you magic moments and this is another one that can't be missed. :) I love seeing their smiles when we put them to sleep. I love seeing the happiness on their faces when they open their eyes in the morning and see their Dad and me. :) Our whole day gets scheduled around their routine. Sometimes when one of the babies takes her afternoon nap, I don't feel like putting her down! :) I hold her and watch TV for a few hours until she wakes up. :) I can tell I'm going to have a hard time when these girls grow up and want their space! Haha! Guess I'll just have to enjoy all this while I can. #twincesses @twinbabydiaries."
