Tiger Shroff all set for his big Hollywood debut?
Known for his chiselled and perfectly sculpted physique, Tiger Shroff has fans drooling over his ripped body. After entertaining the audience with his death-defying stunts in his films like Heropanti, Baaghi and Baaghi 2, the actor, according to Mumbai Mirror, is all set to show his skills in Hollywood.
As per the publication's report, a top Hollywood producer flew down to India to meet Tiger Shroff for the final round of discussions. The 28-year-old actor has caught the eye of producer Lawrence Kasanoff. The producer wishes to cast Tiger as the lead in his next big project. Tiger is also doing the Hindi remake of Sylvester Stallone's Rambo.
A source close to the development informed the publication saying that during this hush-hush trip, Tiger had several meetings with Kasanoff, producer of the Mortal Kombat series, at a suburban hotel.
"Along with Larry, a big studio head, some of their associates and Emmy Award-winning writer Sean Catherine Derek of the Batman series had also flo..

Must see! Actresses on magazine covers of September 2018 issues
It's public knowledge that September issues of fashion magazines are a big deal, so much so that it can make or break 'image' of a particular publication. Usually planned six to eight months in advance, the hype is positioned around the clout of cover subject (either massively popular or extraordinarily reticent), its volume (fatter equals better, mostly due to abundance of ads), and of course, content - lavish photo-shoots and inspiring think pieces. We look at four leading fashion magazines, and their September cover girl selections.
Lest we forget nepotism suggesting covers featuring Suhana Khan (August) and Janhvi Kapoor (May), it has been a while since Vogue India surprised us. And so the choice of supermodels of Indian origin making headlines on international runways, Kerala-born Radhika Nair, and Saffron Vadher - half English, half Gujarati - as September cover girls seems appropriate considering it is, after all, the fashion tome.

Kritika Kamra: I was very impressed by the youth in Gujarat
Kritika Kamra, who has made her Bollywood debut with the Gujarat-set film Mitron, says she found Ahmedabad very cool. "I was very impressed by the youth in Gujarat. It's a very happening city with very cool crowd... It has some premier colleges. We even shot in one of the colleges, and met a lot of young and bright people," Kritika told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"Ahmedabad also has a cool set of cafes and places where you could go, read a book, hang out at places... They have great street food too. I didn't expect Ahmedabad to be so cool," added the actress, who shares screen space with Jackky Bhagnani in Mitron.
Well-known to Hindi television viewers as Arohi of Kitani Mohabbat Hai and Nidhi of Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, actress Kritika Kamra took the Bollywood plunge with Mitron. She said she had been on the verge of making a film debut a couple of times, but somehow things didn't work out then.

Remo D'Souza on Race 3: Will never work on a half-baked script
Though Salman Khan's Race 3 earned decent moolah at the box office, its director is not happy. Rather, Remo D'Souza was left scarred by the criticism and trolls against the action thriller. He admitted that Race 3 had glitches and opened up on the lessons he learnt from the multi-starrer thriller.
Said Remo, "I learnt two important things after Race 3. Firstly, never work on a half-baked script, work on the script much harder before you roll the camera. Secondly, I have learnt to put my foot down when it's needed, especially when creative differences happen. One can argue till one level, but not after that... so then, it's better to put your foot down."
Remo D'Souza
He added, "Looking at the commercial success of Race 3, I should be feeling happy, isn't it? When I signed the film, I knew that it's a commercial film, so a good box office collection is all the project aimed for. But my heart broke when the film faced trolls and the audience made fun of it on the Internet."

The Equalizer 2 Director knew what fans wanted from his first sequel
Two decades into his filmmaking career, and director Antoine Fuqua has started to receive a new kind of feedback — from fans on the street. After his "The Equalizer" hit screens in 2014, audiences started stopping the filmmaker to offer up their ideas for where the film, a Denzel Washington-starring version of the 80's TV series of the same name, should go next. Fuqua was happy to listen, though he wasn't always keen on taking their suggestions into account.
"I listened to the audience a lot," Fuqua said in an interview. "I would walk through the airport and I would listen to what people would say. Whenever someone would stop me and talk about the movie, I would see how enthusiastic they were about certain things and the questions they had. Those are the things you want to make sure you satisfy."
"I tried to just omit the idea of the word 'franchise' in my mind, because it's too much pressure," he said. "And that's more of a business word for the studios, 'franchise' and all th..

With discussions around pay parity, women empowerment and movements against sexual abuse making way for change in Hollywood, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is hoping for a similar effect in India. The critically-acclaimed actor says it is time to give women the respect they deserve.
"We need to change. The West is also undergoing a change with respect to women. Women in India are also speaking up about their own experiences," Nawazuddin told IANS in a recorded response.
"We need to introspect about the way we have treated women for centuries. It is time to change. It is time to look at them from a different perspective. We need to understand their thoughts, desires and feelings, and respect them," said the actor when he visited Star Sports' studios to shoot a segment for "Nerolac Cricket Live" as part of the promotion of his film "Manto".

Raj-DK on Stree's sequel: Will be tough to top the first part
"We had kept most of our crazy ideas wrapped up so far. Now, it's time to unleash them," laughs Raj Nidimoru, one-half of writer-director duo Raj-DK, asserting that the resounding success of Stree has instilled a sense of confidence in them. With the Rajkummar Rao starrer setting the cash registers ringing, the makers have announced a sequel to the horror comedy. Given the unusual genre, the writers admit that the sequel will come with its share of challenges.
"I was told that women don't watch horror, but the film has been more popular with the ladies. The gender reversal satire worked for us. Now, it will be tough to top the first part," says Raj, aware that fans may also expect the sequel to boast of the underlying theme of women empowerment. "It will be easy to take it ahead with laughs and scares, but the effect will be diluted. The premise has to be evolved."

'What I learnt after spending 24 hours inside the Bigg Boss house'
Locking up strangers together, with no access to the outside world, and filming them 24 hours a day is the hallmark of a classic psychological experiment. I always wondered how, year after year, a motley group of strangers give up their personal life to spend weeks in an environment riddled with mind games and voyeurism.
So, a week before the show aired, when the opportunity to spend a day in the Bigg Boss house came my way, I joined in - a decision that stemmed from part curiosity and part excitement. In keeping with this season's theme of jodis, I was accompanied by my brother-in-law Harshal Karania in an adventure that saw two other jodis and 11 single people.
On reaching the house in Lonavala, I was relieved of all my possessions - including the phone, wallet and watch. It was a digital detox that I was looking forward to. I was handed a sling pouch with a microphone, which I had to wear at all times. As we settled in the house with the other contestants, it was easy to see the c..

Denzel Washington's film The Equalizer 2 is his first sequel
Denzel Washington has done a lot of different things in his long career in Hollywood. However, one thing he's never done until now is make a sequel. The Equalizer 2, which opens Friday, is the first time Washington has gone back and revisited a role he'd played before. One might think he has an issue with the idea of sequels, like maybe he thinks they're not creative enough endeavors, but the truth is that the reason he's never made a sequel before is that he never gets asked.
The remarkable thing about The Equalizer 2 is the 2: it is the first sequel of Denzel Washington's career. "I've been in this business for forty years and I've never done anything a second time," he says. "The excitement for me comes when I do something new. When it came to this screenplay, the new territory was the relationship with Susan, Melissa Leo's character, and the relationship with the young boy, Miles, played by Ashton Sanders. This film is more of a personal journey for McCall because it is about what..

Arjun was on Saavn's new podcast Take 2 with Anupama and Rajeev along with actor Rajkummar Rao, where they discussed the reasons of being in films, a statement said.
"I never wanted to be an actor. That is where it is different for Rajkummar and me. He grew up with an inculcated thought of heading towards a direction. I looked like a basketball so I did not really think about acting. I think I wanted to become a director the day I saw 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and I do not know why, I remember I was in 10th standard and I was awake at 12 at night and I was just watching that film," Arjun said.

Amit Trivedi: Musicals shouldn't fail
Applauding its music just as much as they are the finesse with which Anurag Kashyap captured life in Punjab, cinephiles have Amit Trivedi to thank for the authenticity in the composition of Manmarziyaan. In an interview with mid-day, Trivedi talks about being part of the musical, a genre that, so far, hasn't found its footing in Bollywood, and roping in unique voices for the film.
Edited excerpts from the interview:
This is being touted as Kashyap's first attempt at a romance. Can you talk about composing for it?Dev.D was a love story too, albeit in a different way. But it's the same genre. This [film] was set in the heartland of Punjab, so the music had to reflect that. The first time that Anurag came with Kanika [Dhillon, writer], the narration went on for long. A while into the chat, he said, 'At this point, we'll have song number seven.' And I was like, 'Oh, saat gaane.' Then he said, 'Then we'll have the interval.' So that was a bigger shock. 'Seven songs, only till the interval..

"It's hard to think of it without him. It's sad. And it brings up, I think, some very tricky issues around this movement. I bring it up with every woman I talk to because I want to know what people feel, you know? 'Is that truly what we should be doing?

Have Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani called off their relationship?
One of Bollywood's thickest relationship, Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani's love affair seemed to be an example for many. However, the rumor mills are abuzz that the duo has parted ways and are no longer seeing each other. According to a Filmfare report, it is Tiger Shroff's growing proximity towards his Student of The Year 2 co-actress Tara Sutaria. Not just this, apparently, Disha Patani has also started seeing someone else. Therefore, the couple headed for splitsville reports the publication.

Bigg Boss 12: Dipika Kakkar, Karanvir Bohra among house-mates
Fans of reality TV show Bigg Boss 12 are set to see an increase in the number of commoners in the show's 12th season, that kicks off today. In an interaction with mid-day, host Salman Khan had stated that those who believe they've nabbed the trick of making it to the top, are usually the first to be disappointed.
"I have seen a lady who has achieved so much in life — even attained peace — break down and cry within two weeks [of staying in the house]. No one can be prepared for this game. I still haven't understood how it works," Khan had said. The beach-themed edition will see a special band — comprising Pranav Bharadwaj, Joy Bose, Geetanjali More, Silman Marak, Brian Pereira and Chris Gavvan —being roped in to compose its theme music.
While a bunch of commoners will be part of the show, here are the celebrities stepping into the house this year:

We watch her every couple of years or so on screen (her next film, Pradeep Sarkar's Helicopter Eela is round the corner). Over a career spanning 26 years, she's done 38 movies, a rather restricted filmography - if you compare, say, to young Taapsee Pannu, 29, who already has 37 credits on her IMDb profile.
Full-time mom, wife - that films come naturally to her is a given. She is the fourth generation female actor in her family (from mother Tanuja's side). We'd traced her fascinatingly inter-generational paternal roots in Bollywood, on Sit with Hitlist, with actor Rani Mukerji. But Mukerji is her second-cousin. We start this interview therefore with:

Ameesha Patel trolled, called 'aunty' for flaunting her abs
Ameesha Patel has been flooding her Instagram account with snapshots from a recent photoshoot. The actor, 42, is flaunting her abs and kamariya. But trolls are having a field day calling her "aunty" and asking her to "act her age." Ameesha and Hrithik Roshan made their debut in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000). Over 18 years down the line, Hrithik is still going shirtless and flaunting his abs. He can do it, but Ameesha cannot. Rather strange, na? Talk of double standards!
Talking about her professional stance, Ameesha Patel will next be seen in Bhaiyyaji Superhitt alongside Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. She also has her long-in-the-making home production Desi Magi in her kitty.
When asked about Desi Magic's release, Ameesha Patel admits it has been a long journey.

Harshvardhan Kapoor: I have two unique, flawed works of art to look bac
Actor Harshvardhan Kapoor isn't fazed by back-to-back failures at the box office and says he is happy with the fact that he walked the path less travelled.
At least, he can sleep in peace with that fact.
"My ambition has always been to do films I would personally like to watch... 'Mirzya' attempted to do something new with the Indian romantic musical, while 'Bhavesh Joshi Superhero'... to a certain extent it did manage to be an important moment in the Indian superhero genre," Harshvardhan, the son of actor-producer Anil Kapoor, told IANS in an email interview.
"Now, had these films sold more tickets it would have been better for everyone but I can sleep well knowing that I followed through with my conviction and took the chance and did the stuff that I believed in... and have two unique works of art, be it flawed, to look back on," he added.
Harshvardhan made his Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 2016 film "Mirzya", and picked "Bhavesh Joshi Superhero" as his second pr..

Last Ganpati celebrations for Kapoors at the R.K Studios?
For several decades, the Kapoors have been celebrating the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi at the iconic R.K Studios, helmed by the late veteran actor-producer Raj Kapoor in 1948. The studio, which was gutted in fire last year, has been put up on sale. However, despite the decision of selling the sprawling landmark studio, the Kapoors have continued with their year-long tradition, and have welcomed the diety on the pious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.
Confirming the same, Randhir Kapoor told Pinkvilla that the celebrations will remain the same this year. "We shall be celebrating Ganpati as usual like we do every year. Rk. [sic]," said Randhir Kapoor.
The RK Studios fire erupted on September 16 last year on the set of the television show, Super Dancer 2. Later, it was reported that the family has collectively decided to sell the studio, which was built 70 years ago by veteran actor Raj Kapoor. The studio, spread in the two-acre was the headquarters of the film production compa..
Biswajit Chaterjee: Bengali filmmakers need to look back to literature
Films inspired or adapted from works of Rabindranath Tagore, Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay, Saratchandra Chattopadhyay and Bibhutibhusan Bandyopadhyay should be made, he said. "The present slide in Bengali cinema is due to the fact that what we are witnessing now are not true Bengali films... films that used to be made in the '60s and '70s," Chatterjee said Wednesday.
Major Bengali films in his career included Chowringhee, Kuheli, Srimaan Prithviraj and Jai Baba Taraknat. "We need films like Belaseshe made by the director duo of Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay and Nandita Roy which retained the rich legacy of Bengali cinema of our times having literary influences. But such films are few and far between," he said.
Double version films like Amanush by Shakti Samanta, which was a typical Bengali entertainer, are no more being made, said Chatterjee, father of Bengali superstar Prosenjit.
A live show would be held on September 16 focusing on his career spanning over five decades. On thi..
Is Bigg Boss scripted? Reveals Shweta Tiwari and Hina Khan
One of the most controversial reality show on Indian Television, Bigg Boss attracts massive eyeballs. However, the one question that still continues to bother the viewers is whether the show is scripted? According to a daily, ex-contestant Diandra Soares claimed that people should stop "wasting their money" to vote for their favourite contestants as everything is pre-decided.
However, a former winner of the show, Shweta Tiwari has another take on it, and says that the show is definitely well-edited. "I don't watch Big Boss that often. To be very honest, Bigg Boss is very entertaining and people keep talking about what has happened, but when I watch the show, I don't know what to believe because I know a lot of it is edited. Many times, long conversations are only shown as two lines in the show, which then leads to misunderstandings," said the Bigg Boss 4 winner to Hindustan Times.
One of the most popular contestants of Bigg Boss' 11 season, Hina Khan also had the same thing to s..

Angad Bedi lawyers up for web show on Nanavati case
Having won acclaim for his act in Inside Edge, Angad Bedi had hit headlines when reports of him being cast in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay trickled in, in July. However, mid-day has now learnt that while the actor is set to collaborate with Kapoor, the association will be part of her digital offering, ALTBalaji, and not for a telly show.
Bedi confirms that The Verdict - State v/s Nanavati, based on the KM Nanavati vs state of Maharashtra case, has fallen into his lap. "I was intrigued by the case and my character. Despite being set at a time when the media did not have the kind of influence it does today, it still made a lot of noise," Bedi says.
The three-season show will see Bedi slip into the role of top-notch criminal lawyer, Karl Khandalwala, who will fight the case in favour of Nanavati. "He is an ex-air force officer, a connoisseur of art and music. He takes up the case because he is intrigued by Nanavati," adds the actor.

Manoj Bajpayee: Kashmir one of the safest places for shooting films
Hailing Kashmir as the best tourist destination, Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee said he finds the state to be "one of the safest places to shoot a film." The 'Gangs of Wasseypur' star reached Kashmir to commence the fifteen-day schedule of his web series, titled 'Family Man'.
A day before the shoot. the actor enjoyed a boat ride in Srinagar and Pahalgam. During the ride in Nigeen Lake, Bajpayee said, "Such types of initiatives are very positive for the revival of film shooting culture which peaked during the early 80s and 90s. Kashmir is known as a photographer's paradise and every Bollywood personality prefers to shoot their films in Kashmir. But unfortunately, due to the insurgency, shooting of Bollywood films here came to a standstill."
A lot of Bollywood blockbusters like 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' have been shot in the Valley. Describing Kashmir as a paradise for adventure lovers, Tasaduq Jeelani, Director of Tourism in Kashmir, added, 'The revival of film shooti..
