After being accused of harassment, Ganesh Acharya alleges that Saroj Khan is conspiring against him

Dancer and choreographer Ganesh Acharya alleged that senior dancer Saroj Khan conspired against him and harboured corruption in the industry. Acharya's statement comes after an assistant female choreographer reportedly filed a case against him accusing of harassment.

"This is the conspiracy against me to malign my image; there are people like Saroj Khan and her colleagues who are doing corruption in the industry. Their business has flopped as I have entered the association," said Acharya in a statement.

"I will file a defamation case against Saroj Khan and her team who are defaming me and stooping so low to do that, they are doing this because their business has gone in vain they used to earn money sitting at home illegally and I am against it so will put all my efforts to fight against them," he added.

Acharya is the General Secretary of Indian Film and Television choreographers Association (IFTCA). The 33-year-old assistant choreographer also accused Acharya of depriving her of work and demanding commission for getting her projects. She also accused him of forcing her to watch adult videos.

On January 26th, at a gathering of industry choreographers, the accuser reportedly countered Acharya, asking him why he was trying to revoke a membership for which she paid Rs 1 lakh. However, Acharya wasn't pleased to find her at the gathering and asked her to leave. Reportedly, he also asked other dancers to pay Rs 500 extra out of their share of money, which she did not approve of.

Has Aamir Khan shelved his Mahabharat?

Has Aamir Khan really shelved his plans of making a web-series based on the Mahabharat, or is the ambitious plan on the backburner for now? Sources in the know say, Aamir won’t give up his dream project that easily. “Aamir is a dreamer. But he’s a pragmatic dreamer. He won’t just get into a situation without a full understanding and appraisal. Once in, he won’t withdraw,” says the source, adding that the project is only dormant for a while.

“The scale on which Aamir plans to make the Mahabharat makes it a very expensive project. And Aamir wants to cast only A-listers.” Which brings us to the casting. Apparently Aamir is very keen to play Lord Krishna. Considering the current climate in the country, this may not be the best of ideas.

The source informs, “Aamir has decided to wait for a better time to make the Mahabarat. He had set 2019-20 aside for the project. But when it didn’t materialize for various reasons he went ahead and signed a couple of feature films instead (Lal Singh Chaddha and Moghul). Now he will finish those projects and then plan his Mahabharat.”

"Doing Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan was one of the most important decisions of my life," says Ayushmann Khurrana

Ayushmann Khurrana is set to bust societal stereotypes again with his forthcoming release Anand L. Rai’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. The star who has created a genre of his own with his unique film choices is now set to play a gay man on-screen something which no leading star has ever portrayed on screen. And it looks like, Ayushmann is set to score eight hits in a row as the trailer of the film received unanimous appreciation and love from media and audiences.

We hear Ayushmann is set to watch the film with his entire family and his relatives. The reason - his family has been a pillar of strength for him, having supported all his life decisions and he considers Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan to be a defining moment of his film career in Indian cinema which he wants to celebrate with his family.

Ayushmann reveals, “I’m what I’m because of my family. They have constantly been a massive support system for me and they have always enabled me in taking the biggest life decisions. When I decided to pursue a career in showbiz, they stood by me like a rock. When I decided that my brand of cinema will stand for taboo-breaking subjects and characters like being a sperm donor in Vicky Donor, a man dealing with erectile dysfunction in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, someone who is prematurely balding in Bala, to now proudly playing a gay man in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, they told me to always back my instincts and never think of what society or my immediate community will say about me.”

The star says many people from the industry told him to rethink playing a gay man on screen. Ayushmann reveals, “Their (family’s) confidence in me and my dreams has made me who I’m today, has made me what I stand for and I can’t thank them enough. Doing Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan was one of the most important decisions of my life. A lot of people from the industry asked me to rethink this because no leading hero has ever portrayed a gay man on screen. But I knew, this stereotype needed to be shattered and the time to change it, is now. I somehow knew I had to do it and take the plunge.”

The versatile star is set to do a screening of his film for his entire family soon and he is super excited to see their reaction! He says, “I think I have a free pass to do all things different and quirky and I wanted to raise nationwide awareness on the taboos linked with the LGBTQ community at large. I was sure that we have to make Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan as a full family entertainer that brings a smile to people’s faces, to spread the message of the film to as many people as possible across the country and I’m thrilled with how the movie has shaped up. My family thoroughly supported me in my decision and I want to see this film with my parents and all my relatives. It’s a moment that truly defines me in Indian cinema and I want to cherish this moment with my entire family.”
