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'

Washington, Mar 10: British adventurer Bear Grylls on Monday shared the power-packed trailer of `Into The Wild` episode featuring South Indian superstar Rajinikanth.

The video captures Rajinikanth driving through the forests of Bandipur in Karnataka, where the episode has been filmed. The 45-year-old adventurer shared the daredevil video on Twitter featuring Rajinikanth amid the woods and in the background, Grylls is heard saying "He`s faced a lot of fears, but he never gives up. He`s relentlessly positive."

He captioned the post on Twitter and wrote: "Superstar @Rajinikanth`s relentless positivity and never giving up spirit was so visible in the wild as he embraced every challenge thrown at him. Respect! Watch Into The Wild with @BearGryllson March 23 at 8:00 pm. @DiscoveryIN#ThalaivaOnDiscovery."

The video shows the Padma Bhushan actor and Grylls climbing hills and wading through gorges and ravine. The duo is seen driving through the Deccan forest. Amid the video, Grylls is seen addressing Rajinikanth as a "superhero." The actor is seen pulling off his signature `sunglass` move.

Earlier in February, the adventure show host shared an intriguing motion poster marking superstar Rajinikanth`s blockbuster TV debut in Discovery`s `Into the Wild`. Grylls also shared that it was a special experience for him to work with the Rajinikanth.

In January, Rajinikanth suffered minor injuries while shooting for the special episode of `Man vs Wild` Bandipur forest in Karnataka.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajinikanth becomes the second Indian personality to be featured on Grylls` survival show.

The episode with Prime Minister Modi was aired last year in August and became quite an attraction among viewers.
