New Delhi, Mar 15: While actor Arjun Kapoor was bestowed with the Worst Actor (Male) award for 'Gunday' at the 7th Annual Golden Kela Awards, actress Sonakshi Sinha won the Worst Actor (Female) award hands down, for 'Action Jackson', 'Lingaa' and 'Holiday'.

This was a hat-trick for Sonakshi as she swept the award for the third consecutive year.

The 7th edition of the ceremony was held at the India Habitat Centre here on Saturday, where it honoured the worst in Indian cinema in a lighter vein, said a statement.

sonakshi kela awardSinger Yo Yo Honey Singh was chosen for the Bas Kijiye Bahut Ho Gaya Award while his composition 'Blue hai paani paani' from 'Yaariyan' got the Most Irritating Song award.

Tiger Shroff failed to impress with 'Heropanti' and was accredited with the Worst Debut Award, while 'Bang Bang!' was chosen for the RGV Ki Aag Award for Most Pointless Remake/Sequel.

'Humshakals' seemed like a disaster with Saif Ali Khan, Ram Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh dressing up as what they call 'women', all through the movie. It got the Worst Film award.

The Baanwra Ho Gaya Hai Ke Award went to Abhishek Sharma for 'The Shaukeens', for his selection of remaking a movie without knowing where and how to go about it and ending up making a complete mess of things.

On winning this Award, Sharma said: "I am extremely excited to win the Baanwra Award, as Golden Kela Awards are the only awards worth winning in this industry that celebrates mediocrity like no other film industry in the world. Proud to be one of the baanwras of Bollywood."

Sonam Kapoor won the Why Are You Still Trying Award, it conveys that she should stop torturing audiences with her plastic presence in movies and start focussing on something she is good at, like Fashion. Also, in the Special Awards Category, 'PK' won the Fanaa Award for Most Pointlessly Controversial Film.

Priyanka Chopra, though she did a commendable job as Mary Kom, couldn't quite nail the accent. The Dara Singh Award for the Worst Accent, thus, had her name written all over it.

In the horror movie domain, '6 - 5 = 2' was chosen for the Khooni Dracula Award for Most Creatively Named Horror Film.

Chennai, Jul 30: Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday said he and his family members have tested positive for coronavirus and are currently quarantined at home.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.

Andhra Pradesh witnessed its worst single day spike of coronavirus on Wednesday, 10,000 plus cases, as the other southern states, including Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also reported high daily numbers, although they saw a dip in the infections.

The cumulative tally of southern states — AP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry was 24,855 on Wednesday.

Chennai, Jan 15: Superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday called for neutrality in journalism and urged media outlets to report the truth.

Addressing an event organised by Tamil magazine ''Thuglak' in Chennai, the superstar-turned-politician said that the country needs a journalist like the late Cho S Ramaswamy, who helmed the publication for decades.

"The times, politics and society are going bad. In such a scenario, the media had a huge responsibility towards the people," he said.

Some television channels are biased towards political parties, Rajinikanth said. He added that media, critics and journalists must report the truth impartially.

Comparing true news to milk and fake reportage to water, Rajinikanth said people will not be able to distinguish between the two if they are mixed.

"Only journalists need to tell which portion is milk and which is water...write the truth and don't make a lie seem like truth," he said, amid applause.

Mumbai, Jul 25: Movie theatres have been shuttered for months due to the coronavirus pandemic in the country, but the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has now recommended that the Union Home Ministry allow cinema halls to reopen in August. 

I&B Secretary Amit Khare indicated this at a close-door industry interaction with the CII Media Committee on Friday. He said Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla at the Home Ministry would take the final call.

Khare said that he has recommended that cinema halls may be allowed to reopen all over India as early as August 1, or at the latest, around August 31.

The formula suggested is that alternate seats in the first row and then the next row be kept vacant, and proceeding in this fashion throughout.

Khare said that his ministry's recommendation takes into consideration the two metre social distancing norm, but tweaks it gently to two yards instead. The Home Ministry, however, still has to revert on the recommendation.

Cinema owners, present in the interaction, however, pushed back and said this formula is unwise and merely running films at 25% auditorium capacity is worse than keeping the cinemas shut.

The attendees at the meet included media CEOs like N.P. Singh of Sony, Sam Balsara (Madison), Megha Tata, (Discovery), Gaurav Gandhi (Amazon Prime), Manish Maheshwari (Twitter), S. Sivakumar (Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd), and K Madhavan, Star & Disney, and also Chairman, CII Media Committee.

The OTT platforms present, including Gandhi of Amazon Prime, did not push back. Some Bollywood producers, notably those of Amitabh Bachchan's Gulabo Sitabo, have posted their movies on OTT, rather than live out the lockdown uncertainty.
