Mumbai, Jun 21: It is definitely raining biopic all over the Hindi film industry and, Akshay Kumar seems to lead the way.

Akshay

Right from Padman to Gold, the Jolly LLB 2 actor has several biopics in his kitty. Now, rumours are abuzz that Akshay is all set to play Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an upcoming film.

While we are all excited for Modi biopic, getting to see Khiladi Kumar in such a powerful avatar will be a delight. Echoing our thoughts, CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani says Akshay will make a perfect Modi.

In an interview with media, Pahlaj said, ““I can’t think of anyone better to play our Prime Minster than Akshay. He has a spotless image of an idealist and visionary. And look at the kind of work he’s doing. Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman are the cinemas of social reform that Guru Dutt and V Shantaram were associated with”.

Further he added that Akshay has risen from humble working-class beginnings to become a national star, just like our honourable Prime Minister. “ We are certainly looking at a strong possibility of Akshay playing Modiji,” the CBFC chief added.

Akskay as Modi will definitely be a grand treat. However, nothing official has been said about the biopic. Till then, have a look at some upcoming biopics that the 49-year-old actor has signed this year.

Mogul

The film is on the life of the late music baron Gulshan Kumar. Akki will be reuniting with his Jolly LLB 2 director Subhash Kapoor for the film.

Padman

This film is based on the real life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, the inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad making machine. This film is produced by Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna and also stars Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles.

Gold

The sports period film, which is based on former hockey,is set in the backdrop of the 1948 London Olympics. The film narrates the story of independent India's first gold medal win at the Olympics.

Mumbai, Jul 19: Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against two Instagram account holders for allegedly threatening actor Rhea Chakraborty, an official said on Sunday.

The location of the two accused is yet to be traced, the official said, adding that the investigation in the case is at primary stage.

Chakraborty on Thursday requested the cyber crime cell to look into the rape and murder threats she has been receiving ever since the death of close friend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Rajput, 34, was found dead in his apartment in suburban Bandra here on June 14, leaving people in the film industry and audiences shocked.

Chakraborty, in particular, was subjected to online hate with users blaming her for Rajput's suicide.

"We registered the First Information Report (FIR) on Saturday under Indian Penal Code Sections 507 (criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication), 509 (intending to insult modesty of any woman) and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act," Santacruz police station's senior inspector Shriram Koregaonkar said.

"No arrest has been made so far. We are conducting an investigation in the case," he added.

On Thursday, sharing a screenshot of a hate message she received on Instagram, Chakraborty said while she had ignored many abusive texts sent to her in the past month, the harassment was now unbearable.

The 28-year-old actor eventually disabled the comments section of her Instagram page.

Chakraborty, known for films such as "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" and "Jalebi", had tagged the cyber cell and requested the authorities to look into the threats.

On June 18, she was called to the Bandra police station to record her statement in connection with Rajput's death.

Indore, Jan 14: Yoga guru Ramdev has said that Deepika Padukone should hire persons like him for offering correct advice, days after the actress had visited Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi following the violence at the campus earlier this month.

"Deepika Padukone needs to study about political, social and cultural issues. She should understand more about our country. Only after gaining knowledge, she should take decisions. I feel she should have persons like Swami Ramdev for correct advice," Ramdev said at an event here on Monday.

On January 7, Padukone joined the protest at JNU after a masked mob entered the varsity campus and attacked the students and teachers with sticks and rods on January 5.

Several BJP leaders questioned the support extended by Padukone. On the other hand, the Congress threw their weight behind the actress for her stand.
