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.

New Delhi, Feb 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave time to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to seek instructions on travel ban imposed on comedian Kunal Kamra.

Kamra approached the court against IndiGo which suspended him from flying with the airlines for a period of six months. Other airlines had also followed the suit in pursuance to this.

Justice Naveen Chawla said that the regulatory body should not have certified actions of airlines other than IndiGo to ban Kamra without conducting inquiry. The matter will now be heard on February 27.

Last month, IndiGo had barred the stand-up comedian for six months from using its services for allegedly portraying "unacceptable behaviour" onboard its flight.

The airline claimed that Kamra, while travelling on a Mumbai-Lucknow IndiGo flight, provoked a TV news anchor by asking questions over his news presentation style.

Washington, Jul 16: Actor Chris Evans, better known as 'Captain America', made a six-year-old boy's day by sending him a personalised video message lauding his heroic act of saving his younger sister from a dog attack.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the aunt of the young boy (Bridger Walker from Cheyenne) posted on Instagram the story of how the boy saved his sister on July 9 and was horribly injured in the process.

She shared the story on the photo-sharing platform on Sunday and also posted few photos featuring the brother-sister duo as well as pictures of the injuries on Walker's face.

"After receiving 90 stitches (give or take) from a skilled plastic surgeon, he's finally resting at home," wrote the aunt (Nikki Walker).
"We love our brave boy and want all the other superheroes to know about this latest hero who joined their ranks," she added.

Moved by the young boy's story, Evans made a direct video message appreciating the boy for what he did, and how he is no less than a superhero.

He also promised to send the young kid an authentic 'Captain America' shield as a reward for his selfless, heroic act.

Evans' video message to the young boy was shared by the aunt on her Instagram profile.
In the video, Evans is saying, "Pal, you're a hero, what you did was so brave, so selfless -- your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother.

Your parents must be so proud of you," Evans said in a video message that the family shared Wednesday. "Keep being the man you are, we need people like you. Hang in there, I know recovery might be tough, but based on what I've seen, I don't think there's much that can slow you down."

Towards the end, the 39-year-old actor told the boy he was sending the 'Captain America' shield to him, as the world needs more bravehearts like the little boy.
