July 21, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 21: For now, at least, Deepika has the edge.The teaser trailer of XXX The Return Of Xander Cage shows her smouldering with Vin Diesel with an ethnic intensity as she warns him that whatever he has come for , will fall short.

padukoneViacom 18, Paramount Pictures partners in India , are planning a big January 20 release , a week ahead of the two big Bollywood releases Raees and Kaabil which opens on Republic Day Viacom has huge plans of capturing the market on release .They hope to give the two Bollywood biggies a run for their money with XXX.

Unofficial source from the company explains, “Deepika plays Serena the girl who gives Diesel tit for tat. She is no walkover in the plot.And she doesn’t play an Indian. The director allowed her to speak in the accent she wanted.She has a very substantial role in XXX , much more so than Priyanka Chopra in Baywatch.If you notice no leading lady opposite Dwayne Johnson ever has much to do. ”

Viacom hopes to grab the Indian market on the strength of Deepika’s presence. “Deepika is not going to be seen in any film this year in 2016.In 2017 Deepika will be seen in only two films. XXX The Return Of Xander Cage at the beginning of the year.And Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati at the end of the year.”

Interestingly she plays a kind of a beauteous warrior in both the films.

Incidentally Baywatch will also be released by Paramount-Viacom in India . But 4 months after Deepika’sXXX.Priyanka, insist unconfirmed reports, is part of a large ensemble cast in Baywatch.

Says a well-informed source, “Priyanka is important but not pivotal to Baywatch.Let’s put this way. Priyanka’s Indian fans would be disappointed by the length of her role . But her newly-acquired fan following in the West would be delighted to see her play the bad girl . Deepika in XXX would be a surprise to the West. They haven’t seen her do anything in the US before. She will be a revelation in the West .At home the Bollywood audiences would for once feel the West has been fair to one of their stars.”

XXX will release in 5 languages in India and will have more prints and screens in India than any other Hollywood film including The Jungle Book.

In brief Deepika as Serena will rock the desi theatres as much as she did with her Mastani act .Out West she will get more footage and attention than any other major or minor Indian actress.

New Delhi, Jul 10: Actor Bhumi Pednekar, who is staying indoors like many other Bollywood celebrities, on Friday said that she has learned to prioritise what is important to her amid the COVID-19-induced lockdown.

"One thing that I have learnt about myself is that I love isolation. I love being by myself. I saw a lot of people complaining that they are bored at home or that they cannot go out. I am an extrovert, I am a very social person but this quarantine has led me to realise that I do prefer my isolation over meeting people because I haven't really been in touch with people," she said.

"I have kind of been catching over my reading, not seen much television but started watching shows. I have spent a lot of time with my mom and honesty there were days when I did nothing," she added.

The 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor further said that it was important loving oneself and enjoying one's own company.

"I have kind of prioritised what I feel is important in life. I have re-educated myself. But the biggest learning has been that I love being alone. And maybe I have kind of enjoyed this state because as actors you are constantly surrounded by people whether you are promoting or shooting a film," she said.

"Your immediate entourage is also like a team of quite a few people. You are constantly over the phone, you are constantly over social media," she added.

Pednekar was last seen in Karan Johar's horror film 'Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship,'.

She will next be seen in another horror thriller, 'Durgavati.'

Mumbai, May 20: Doing his bit to help people in need during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, and the lockdown 4.0 phase, Bollywood actor Salman Khan has initiated ''Being Haangryy''- food truck facility to distribute, provide ration to needy.

To feed the affected people in Mumbai, the food truck with the words ''Being Haangryy'' written on it, was seen in Mumbai roads on Wednesday, where volunteers are providing huge bags of ration. A long queue of people was standing near the truck to get the essentials.

Many videos of the truck moving around the city providing ration kits to the people in need, surfaced on the internet from earlier this month.

However, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor has not announced this initiative himself on his personal social media accounts.

The Sultan actor is staying at his Panvel farmhouse with his nephew Nirvaan Khan and other family members ever since the lockdown was announced.

Earlier, the 54-year-old actor urged people to take up the ''Anna Daan'' challenge and donate to the underprivileged ones who are worst affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.

After urging people to take up the ''Anna Daan'' challenge, the actor posted a video on Twitter, that features him and Iulia Vantur, Jacqueline Fernandez among others loading the bags filled with ration on to a truck.

Khan actively posts videos on his social media handles to raise awareness about the importance of social distancing during COVID-19.

Chennai, Mar 12: Superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday clarified that he never aspired to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and said his plans for politics include different heads for his prospective party and a possible government headed by it.

In his first official press conference since December 31, 2017, when he announced to take the political plunge, the veteran star also said he planned to appoint as CM, an educated youth who was compassionate and had self-respect.

With a two-leadership system for party and the government, the former would act as an "opposition" to highlight issues and would not even hesitate to "remove", apparently the head of the government, if it fails to perform, he said.

His prospective party would focus on including a substantial amount of youngsters in the age group of below 45 years while the rest would comprise retired judges and IAS and IPS officials among others.

"I myself would reach out to them and invite them," to join him, the 69-year-old actor said.

Contrary to expectations, he however, did not make a concrete statement on floating his party but called for an "uprising" by youth, after which he would make his formal political entry.
