If I’m Rolls-Royce, Badshah is Nano: Honey Singh

March 11, 2016

Mumbai, Mar 11: They may have collaborated earlier on hit songs but now, rapper Honey Singh says the difference between his music and singer Badshah’s is that of a Rolls-Royce and a Nano. The duo worked together for six years until 2012 and collaborated on songs including tracks like “Get up Jawani” and “Khol Botal”. Badshah launched his first single in 2006 with Honey. During Honey’s ‘break’ from the music scene, Badshah gave chartbusters like “DJ Waley Babu” and the recent “Kar gayi chull” from “Kapoor & Sons”.

honeyWhen asked if Badshah has taken over the music scene in his absence, Honey told reporters, “Have you driven a Rolls -Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce (an ultra luxury car brand) and a Nano (the world’s cheapest car).” The 32-year-old singer was speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming Punjabi film “Zorawar”. Honey’s last Bollywood song was 2015?s “Aankhon Aankhon” from Kunal Kemmu-starrer “Bhaag Johnny”.

The “Lungi Dance” singer, who reportedly was in rehab, did not divulge the reason for his absence but said it was an “important phase” of his life. “It’s a long story, I had disappeared for almost 18 months. There were lots of rumours about where I was. But today I’ll talk about my movie, very soon I’ll give an interview where I’ll tell you the entire story about what had happened with me. That’s an important phase of my life.” It was also reported that Honey had a fight with superstar Shah Rukh Khan during the latter’s world tour, but the “Angreji Beat” hitmaker dismissed the reports. “Nothing like that happened. We have great relations (with each other).

I met him after one-and-a-half years at an award function (recently), we couldn’t meet earlier.” “Zorawar” will feature Honey making his debut as a lead actor in films. He was earlier seen in Himesh Reshammiya’s “The Xpose”. The “Chaar Botal Vodka” singer says he wanted to try his hands at acting and feels it was a challenging task. “I don’t consider myself just a rapper or singer. I am a music producer, lyricist, poet… Acting is also a part of big entertainment. So it was something which was left. It is a tough job to portray a character and make it believable on screen.” Directed by Vinnil Markan, “Zorawar” is scheduled to release on May 6.

Los Angeles: Kevin Feige may have confirmed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be getting its first transgender superhero but the Marvel Studios has said there is no definite timeline for that.

During a Q&A at the New York Film Academy, a fan had asked Feige about whether the studio plans to introduce LGBTQ characters into the MCU, "specifically the trans characters".

To this, the Marvel Studios president had replied, "Yes, absolutely, yes... And very soon. In a movie that we're shooting right now."

But sources in the company clarified to Variety that Feige only confirmed the first part of the comments that a trans character will appear in the MCU in future but he did not give a time period.

Though Feige did not reveal the name of the project that will introduce a LGBTQ character, fans speculate that he may have been referring to "The Eternals".

The film, which will feature an ensemble cast of Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington and others, is set to unveil a gay superhero in the MCU.

Marvel Studios has been making efforts to incorporate more diversity in its films after the success of "Black Panther", which featured a virtually all-black cast, and its first woman-fronted superhero movie "Captain Marvel".

"Avengers: Endgame", which became the highest grossing movie of all-time, had featured the MCU's first gay character, a cameo by director Joe Russo.

In 2020, the studio has two releases -- Scarlett Johansson-starrer "Black Widow" and "The Eternals" -- which have been helmed by women directors.

Mumbai, Apr 30: Rishi Kapoor, the romantic star of many a Bollywood film who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018, died in a Mumbai hospital on Thursday, his brother Randhir Kapoor said. He was 67.

Rishi, a third generation actor of the famous Kapoor dynasty, is survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor, actor son Ranbir and daughter Ridhima.

"He is no more. He has passed away," Randhir said.

Rishi was taken to the H N Reliance hospital by his family on Wednesday.

His death comes a day after after his "D-Day" co-star Irrfan Khan passed away, also of cancer. Three months ago, the disease claimed his sister Ritu Nanda.

"Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last.

He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him, the family said in a statement.

Rishi returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for his cancer in the US for almost a year.

In February, he was hospitalised twice.

He was first admitted to a hospital in Delhi where he was attending a family function. At the time, he had said he was suffering from an "infection".

After his return to Mumbai, he was again admitted to a hospital with viral fever. He was discharged soon after.

Rishi made his first screen appearance as a child artiste in his father Raj Kapoor's film Shri 420 , where he appeared in the song Pyaar hua ekraar hua . This was followed by "Mera Naam Joker". But it was in 1973, with the blockbuster Bobby , again directed by his father, that he made his debut as a romantic hero. He continued to be a favourite romantic hero for almost three decades.

His notable films as a romantic hero are "Laila Majnu", "Rafoo Chakkar", "Karz", "Chandni", "Heena" and "Saagar".

He was, however, more proud of his second innings as an actor, which he found more satisfying. His notable films as a character artiste are "Do Dooni Chaar" with wife Neetu, "Agnipath" and "Kapoor & Sons".
