Sajid KhanNew Delhi, Jun 21: After being tortured for 159 minutes with Sajid Khan's Humshakals, we appeal to the Censor Board of Film Certification to ban the director from making films.

Dear CBFC,

After watching Himmatwala and now Humshakals, in the larger interest of the Indian audience, I request you to ban Sajid Khan from trying his hands at making more films.

In case you have thankfully missed his latest film starring Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Ram Kapoor, Esha Gupta, Bipasha Basu and Tamannah Bhatia, I rest my case with these five points:

1: You cannot be ignorant of the term 'comedy' when you claim to have paid tributes to comedy kings Kishore Kumar and Jim Carrey in your film. Sajid Khan commited the grave crime in Humshakals.

2: An overdose of stars (Bipasha, Saif) may ensure great opening, but it does not necessarily guarantee that you will be accepted as a filmmaker. The audience has triple dose of these stars but to only add to the sad heap of lame jokes being thrown at the audience. Sajid Khan's films are injurious to the mental health of the audience.

3: Sajid Khan tries to be intelligent and targets jokes at himself. He shows his own disaster - Himmatwala - as a weapon of torture. Unless he grows up enough as a filmmaker to get past that stage, that's never going to be funny.

4: Cocaine and vodka ke paranthe. Prince Charles speaking as well as understanding Marathi, Hindi and just about any language you want! Playing with the ECG machine brings the father back from coma, and sends him back again. If anyone (Sajid Khan) thinks that is funny, he should be jailed and not allowed to roam free and crack pathetic jokes at people.

5: Tamanna: Aap bahut witty hain

Saif: Aur aap Churchgate.

And adds, "Witty, VT, Churchgate," in case you did not get it.

Sir, we are not alone in seeking your assistance in this matter. Here's what other people have said about the above matter:

A comment on our website read: RGV's AAG seems Mugal-E-Aazam in front of Hamshakls...

Another one said, "Dear Sajid, it was not a challenge when we said 'Nothing can be worse than Himmatwala'

New Delhi, May 10: While people across the country have been spending a lot of time at home owing to the lockdown, superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday provided a unique platform for all the aspiring filmmakers to produce some 'fun, creative and... spooky' video.

The 54-year-old actor shared a statement on Instagram, detailing about the opportunity for the filmmakers to channel their inner "filmmaking ghost to make a scary indoor film with an element of horror in it."

Taking it to the captions, the 'Don' actor wrote: "Since we've all got a bit of time on our hands in quarantine, thought I can get us all to work a bit... in a fun, creative and... spooky way!"

In the post, titled with a hashtag 'SpookSRK,' the actor has listed down the rules to be followed while making the video and shared the email link to submit their work.

The 'Dilwale' actor also announced that the selected "three winners" will get a chance to video call the star himself.

Wrapping the post on a lighter note, he added: "I will be sending in my film as well...P.S - Ghosts are welcome to send their entries too."

This comes a day after the first trailer launch of Shah Rukh's new Netflix horror series 'Betaal'.

SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment is producing the horror-thriller. The new series also stars Vineet Kumar, Aahana Kumra, Suchitra Pillai, Jitendra Joshi, Manjiri Pupala, and Syna Anand.

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 31: Maharashtra Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said that the Enforcement Directorate should carry out an investigation in actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case.

"There is a huge public sentiment about handing over #SushantSinghRajput case to CBI but looking at the reluctance of State Government, atleast @dir_ed ED can register an ECIR since misappropriation and money laundering angle has come out," tweeted Fadnavis.

Meanwhile, Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said that no FIR had been registered in Maharashtra yet and that the case must be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

"There is a confrontation between two states and there has been no FIR registered yet in Maharashtra. Chirag (Paswan) had spoken to CM Thackeray that there should be CBI probe. All political leaders are demanding for it. It should be handed over to CBI," Paswan said.

A team of the Bihar Police that arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday, recorded statements of two persons, including actor Sushant Singh Rajput's sister, on Wednesday in connection with the case.

An FIR was filed by Sushant Singh Rajput's father against actor Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar on Tuesday.

Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14.

According to the Maharashtra Police, statements of 41 people, including filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra have been recorded in the investigation so far.
