Rajesh Kumar aka Rosesh of Sarabhai VS Sarabhai expresses displeasure of the show’s unofficial Pakistani remake

Rajesh Kumar, who played the role of Rosesh on the cult show Sarabhai VS Sarabhai recently opened up about its unofficial Pakistani remake. The producer Aatish Kapadia took to his social media a few days ago to call out the Pakistani show, Chana Jor Garam’s content which happens to be a frame-to-frame copy of their show. While Aatish Kapadia was clearly miffed at them for copying the content, actor Rajesh Kumar is also unhappy with the way that things have turned out.

Rajesh spoke about it and said that they have failed to show the essence of it and have made a mockery out of their content. The show is a frame-to-frame copy of their show and it is a poor attempt according to him. They received the videos of the show on WhatsApp and were shocked needless to say. Rajesh pointed out that they have not understood the content and their humour is substandard.

Rajesh signed off calling it a disaster.

Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi lands in legal soup

Actress Alia Bhatt was working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She was supposed to shoot Inshallah with Salman Khan but the film got shelved due to unforeseen circumstances. Soon, the filmmaker announced the gangster drama GangubaiKathiawadi which went on the floor in December 2019. The first look created a lot of buzz but soon the shooting came to a halt in March after the coronavirus pandemic. After more than six months, Alia resumed shooting of the film on October 7. Now, one year into the production, the film has landed in a legal soup.

Gangubai's one of the adopted sons, Babuji Rawji Shah, has filed a case against the actress, the filmmaker, and Hussain Zaidi who has penned the book Mafia Queen of Mumbai on which the movie is based on. Shah has claimed that parts of the book are defamatory and infringement upon his privacy, liberty, and self-respect. He has demanded the production to be halted; also asked to remove the chapters from the book and restraining the publishing and circulation. The first hearing of the case took place at Bombay Civil Court and the defendants will have to respond by January 7.

According to the reports, Shah's lawyer may also file a criminal case against Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and the author Hussain Zaidi for defamation, indecent representation of women, and circulation of obscene material. Shah has claimed that he's being harassed in his locality ever since the poster and promos were out. He claims he even suffered a fracture in the leg. Shah further claims that his family and relatives are also being harassed and are being called 'coming from prostitute family'.

Titled GangubaiKathiawadi, Gangubai, remembered as The Madam of Kamathipura in the pages of history, was pushed into prostitution at an early age, and later became an extremely influential pimp with numerous ferocious gangsters as her client.

Huma Qureshi to have a special dance number in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi

Perhaps in the hope of bagging a bigger role in his next, Huma Qureshi has agreed to do a very special song and dance number in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s under-production directorial Gangubai Kathiawadi.

This is a big break for Ms. Qureshi whose career hasn’t exactly taken off after so many years in the industry. Considering what the dance number in Ram Leela did for Priyanka Chopra Jonas, this may just be the break that Huma is waiting for.

Says a source close to the development, “Sanjay wanted a dancer who could emote to the evocative lyrics. Huma isn’t doing a Mujra in the film. It is an earthier, raunchy item number.”

Huma’s dancing skills aren’t exactly known to set the screen on fire. But, with Bhansali around, anything can happen.

Jackie Shroff to play quirky cop in Salman Khan starrer Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai

Salman Khan is set to return to the screens as his personal favourite character, Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai. Joining him in the film is Jackie Shroff which was ousted, recently. Just like in Bharat movie where both of them co-starred, Jackie will again be superior to Khan's character. They have been a part of quite a few projects co-starring each other and are set to join hands again. Jackie plays the role of a quirky police inspector that commands Khan's character. On completion of Jackie's shoot, an interesting piece of detail was shared.

According to a source's words, "Jackie has played cops in the past but this time the approach to the role is a light-hearted one. Jackie plays Salman's superior in the movie. Since both of them share a great relation in general the understanding that the duo share came to light during the shooting."

Salman and Jackie's character share a junior and senior's relation. The two share a love and hate relationship with quite a few comedy inducing scenes. With a good relationship on and off-screen over the years, the acting for the role came out quite naturally and it became easy for stars to complement and reflect each other’s performance.

Salman will reunite with quite a few familiar faces for the project. Jackie Shroff and Salman Khan duo return in Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai in 2021 alongside Zarina Wahab, Disha Patani, and Randeep Hooda.
