Laxmmi Bomb: Akshay Kumar opens up about the creative differences between director Raghava Lawrence and the makers

Akshay Kumar’s first look as a man possessed by the spirit of a transgender in Laxmmi Bomb stirred up a lot of buzz ever since it came out. The film is the remake of the Tamil hit, Muni 2: Kanchana. Laxmmi Bomb is being directed by Raghava Lawrence, who walked out of the project because of the creative differences with the makers. Even though he came back to it, nobody really spoke about the issue out in the open.

Akshay Kumar recently opened up about the issue in a recent interview with a leading tabloid. The actor said that he has no clue as to what happened between the makers but he says that Raghava and their producer, Shabina Khan, spoke about it and sorted everything out. He said that once the two got the issues sorted, nobody spoke about it and the shooting went on as scheduled. Akshay also revealed that he has enjoyed working with Raghava Lawrence so far and that he is a great director who knows his way around the horror-thriller genre.

Speaking of his role in the film, Akshay Kumar said that he loved shooting while wearing a saree, he loves doing the tricky stuff. He also revealed that a lot of people asked him not to go ahead with Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman, but he went with his initial decision and the box office speaks for itself.

Akshay Kumar has 4 projects lined up for the coming year including Laxxmi Bomb, Sooryavanshi, Prithviraj, and Bachchan Pandey.

BREAKING: Salman Khan and Kabir Khan gearing up for their FOURTH collaboration?

Salman Khan is presently busy shooting for his Eid 2020 release, Radhe, which is his third collaboration with Prabhu Dheva after Wanted and the recently released, Dabangg 3. Though there have been several speculations about his next from Radhe ranging from Kick 2 to Satte Pe Satta remake, the 54-year-old superstar hasn’t signed on for any film. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that he is contemplating on several subjects which are offered to him and will take a call on his next only once Radhe is out of his system.

“Kabir Khan, who wrapped up shooting for ‘83 recently, has narrated an idea to Salman, which he has loved. The duo have discussed a probably collaboration and might go ahead with the same once Kabir locks the script and screenplay. Both of them are eager to collaborate after a 4 year break,” revealed a source close to the development.

Salman and Kabir have previously worked on two blockbusters, Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan and one dud, Tubelight, following which there have been reports about a fall-out between the two. The duo however has never spoken about the alleged fall-out. Kabir was recently spotted with Salman at two occasions – the premiere of Dabangg 3 and Arpita Khan’s Christmas party. “It is in a very nascent stage and things will be clear on this towards the second half of the year. Salman will finish another film before moving onto Kabir’s next, if things materialize as expected,” the source added.

Kabir is currently working on the post-production of his upcoming sport-drama, ‘83, which stars Ranveer Singh in the lead. He is simultaneously also developing the script of his next with his team of writers. “Salman – Kabir film belongs to an exciting space, which neither of the two have explored before and the collaboration will definitely happen once the script is final. There is no bad blood between them now as they are aware about being a formidable force together, forming a winning combo,” the source concludes on an optimistic note.

Director Kabir Khan has put his heart and soul in his next, ’83, with Ranveer Singh portraying the role of Kapil Dev. The team left for an elaborate schedule in June and even shot at the famous Tunbridge Wellswhich stadium where Kapil Dev scored the iconic 150 runs in an ODI against Zimbabwe. While there is no video evidence of this historic moment, the staff at Tunbridge Wellswhich surprised Kapil Dev pleasantly!

While Kapil Dev and Mohinder Amarnath accompanied the team to keep an eye on their stance and give them their expert advice, Kabir asked them to accompany the team for shoots as well. During the shoot, Kabir revealed that the ground officials surprised them with a plaque celebrating Kapil Dev’s record-breaking score. When they found out that Kapil was returning to the ground after 36 years, the county got really excited and it was like their hero had returned.

Kabir reveals that the ground is beautiful but not a lot of matches have happened there. Slated to release on April 10, ’83 also marks the first film of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone post marriage.

Maine Pyar Kiya actor Bhagyashree would like to see these actors in the remake of her film

Salman Khan's first blockbuster film Maine Pyar Kiya recently completed 30 years. Actress Bhagyashree too starred in the film. In a recent interview, she talked about her thoughts of a remake version of it.

In recent years, several blockbuster films from the 80s and 90s are being remade to suit the taste of the younger generation. Sooraj Barjatiya's Maine Pyar Kiya is one such classic film of the 90s that made Salman Khan an overnight star.

When Bhagyashree was asked about the film's remake and her thoughts about it, the former actress said that she is not a big fan of remakes and feels that some things need to be left untouched. She further said that there is a lot of pressure on those making and performing it as there is a constant comparison.

However, if ever there is a remake of Maine Pyar Kiya, she would like to see Alia Bhatt play her character of Suman, as Bhagyashree feels that the actress portrays innocence through her eyes. For Salman’s role of Prem, she took the name of Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.

Meanwhile, Bhagyashree chose to stay away from films after her marriage and decided to look after her family. Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani made his debut in 2019 with the film Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. The actor is currently shooting for his second film titled Nikamma.

Saif Ali Khan speaks about the comparisons of Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior with Game Of Thrones

Saif Ali Khan will don the role of Uday Bhan in Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior. The actor will be portraying the role of the antagonist while Ajay Devgn plays the protagonist, Tanhaji. The movie is a high-octane period action drama that has left the fans in awe of both the stars. Also starring Kajol as Ajay Devgn’s wife, the movie is sure to hit the right strings among its audience.

When the first look of Saif Ali Khan was revealed, the fans couldn’t help but compare the poster to Game Of Thrones. During a conversation with a leading tabloid, Saif Ali Khan said that he agrees that there are Game Of Thrones references in the film, but only with regards to the costumes and the sets. The movie, however, is a war film and Saif had an instant liking towards the script after the narration.

The likes of Uday Bhan is something Saif has not explored in his career so far. Finding it a cool role to play, he gave a positive nod to the film. Playing the colourful and dramatic character, the role required a seasoned actor with body language, posture, and expressions.

Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior marks the third collaboration of Saif Ali Khan and Ajay Devgn.

Ajay Devgn talks about working with Saif Ali Khan in Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior

Ajay Devgn is all set for his 100^th release in the industry, Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, and this time he is also producing the film. The high-octane action drama also stars Kajol and Saif Ali Khan. Even though Kajol and Saif have worked on multiple projects, Ajay has only worked with him twice in the past, Kacche Dhaage (1999) and Omkara (2006).

With regards to their third collaboration on-screen, Ajay spoke to a leading tabloid and said that Saif was a perfect fit for the role of Uday Bhan. They needed an actor who would emote the character well and had gravitas since he was supposed to be on par with Tanaji. He also revealed that Saif had an instant liking for the story as soon as he heard the script. Ajay expresses that he did not work with Saif as much as he should have but, they’re excited about this project since both the actors have gotten along really well from their first film together.

Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior is slated to release on January 10 and will also be releasing in 3D. Ajay Devgn revealed that the script demanded them to exploit this technology since it’s a high-octane action drama. He also went on to say that two paragraphs in the history textbooks did not do justice to Tanaji.

EXCLUSIVE: Shimla Mirchi to release in single screens before being out on OTT; talks with multiplexes on

Trade and industry were left surprised on December 26, 2019 afternoon when the trailer of Shimla Mirchi emerged on the internet all of a sudden. It’s a long delayed rom-com directed by Sholay director Ramesh Sippy. The star cast is interesting, comprising of Hema Malini, Rajkummar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh. The trailer too got thumbs up but the sudden release and zero promotions meant the film’s fate at the box office is sealed.

Knowing this aspect, the makers signed a deal with a major OTT platform. A trade source says, “The theatrical release is a mere formality. It can add to the worth of a film when it’s being sold to a streaming giant or television channel. The makers knew that it’ll have a one or maximum two weeks run in cinemas. After that, it was to be out on Amazon Prime. However, when the major multiplex chains were informed of this agreement, they straightaway decided not to give Shimla Mirchi any show. Since the time OTT became big, the multiplex players have been following a policy without fail with regards to Hindi films, and that is, the film can be released online only eight weeks after theatrical release. The producers of Shimla Mirchi are in fact planning to release it on Amazon in a fortnight. Hence, the multiplex chain put their foot down.”

As a result, as of now, Shimla Mirchi is having a limited release in single screens. Also, it’ll hopefully find a release in standalone multiplexes. Another source however reveals, “The makers are still having talks with the multiplexes. A clearer picture will emerge by tomorrow morning, that is, January 2.”

The trade source lashes out at these developments, “Ramesh Sippy ji has given Sholay, the biggest Hindi film ever. His film was stuck for so many years. Finally, when it’s getting a release and he’s able to earn some money, these multiplex people are playing spoilsport. They were just asking for 1 show in most cinemas and yet, these multiplex chains refused to bow down. It’s an insult of an icon.” He also adds, “Ramesh ji was the president of Producers Guild of India and right now, he’s in the council of management. The filmmakers should come out and revolt against the dadagiri of these multiplexes for insulting their veteran member.”
