Aamir_Khan_caseOct 17: CCI (Competition Commission of India), which is a fair trade regulating organisation, has said that it will act against 9 defaulters who have not paid the penalties levied on them. The list includes Aamir Khan, two film producers associations and six others.

While publishing the list of defaulters, CCI told that the total amount of penalty sums up to Rs. 2.17 crores and has been pending for the last two years. In these two years, neither any appeal has been filed by the petitioners nor has any appeal been rejected by CCI.

On May 25th 2011, an order was passed against 27 film producers in a case relating to anti competition practices by film makers. The order was also passed against Aamir Khan, who is both an actor and a producer. The penalty subjected to Mr. Perfectionist was Rs. 1 lakh. The order was filed by CCI post a complaint filed by FICCI – Multiplex Association of India.

The other people or organisations included Telangana Telugu Film Distributors Association, IATA Agents Association of India, Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of Commerce, All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists and Film Distributors Association, Kerala. Among the nine defaulters, All India Organisation of Chemists & Druggists has been asked to pay the highest penalty of Rs. 1.47 crores. Andhra Pradesh Film Chamber of Commerce has to pay Rs 12.89 lakh, Telangana Telugu Film Distributors Association and IATA Agents Association of India have to pay Rs 1 lakh each as penalty. A. Ganesh and K. Manju have to pay penalties of Rs 26 lakh each. Film Distributors Association of Kerala has to pay Rs 1.27 lakh and Chemists & Druggists Association of Goa has to pay Rs 1.02 lakh. CCI has told that it will take necessary steps to recover the penalty amount from the entities. CCI spokesperson said, “CCI could initiate prosecution under Section 42(3) of the Competition Act for not complying with the orders of the Commission and follow-up reference to Income Tax Department could be made for action on recovery certificates already issued to these entities.”

Aamir Khan production house known as Aamir Khan Productions was charged in 2011 for behaving like a cartel. Even late Yash Chopra's Yashraj Films and Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment were fined in 2011. CCI spokesperson said that the actions by film producers and distributors were in ‘nature of cartel like conduct'.

Mumbai, Aug 9:The questioning of Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, continued till around 6:30 am on Sunday, according to sources in the ED.

It is noteworthy that Showik Chakraborty had reached the ED office at around 12 pm on Saturday afternoon, following which the questioning by the investigative agency's officials went on for about 18 hours.

Tomorrow on August 10, Rhea, alongwith her father, Indrajit Chakraborty, are to be questioned by the ED officials.

Showik is named in the First Information Report (FIR) registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Rhea was earlier questioned by the ED at its office in Mumbai in connection with the case. The agency also questioned Showik and Shruti Modi, former business manager of Rajput.

According to sources in the investigation agency, the officials have got hold of electronic evidence in connection with the case and they are also searching for phone records of conversations between Rhea and her father and brother.

The ED had already questioned Rhea once on Saturday, following which she was called back on Monday.

Meanwhile, CBI has collected documents related to the actor's death from Bihar Police. The ED has also asked the late actor's friend, Siddharth Pithani, to appear before the agency on August 8.

The agency had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the case after FIR was filed by KK Singh, the late actor's father, against Rhea in Bihar on July 28.
The ED earlier interrogated Samuel Miranda, an associate of Rhea over the latter's properties, sources said.

The investigating agency has registered a case against six accused including Rhea in connection with Rajput's death.

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

Washington D.C., Jan 16: Barbara Broccoli, who has since long been the producer of the James Bond franchise, recently clarified in an interview that the 007 character won't be played by a woman in the forthcoming rendition.

Broccoli, accompanied by her half brother and fellow producer Michael G. Wilson, told Variety: "He can be of any color, but he is male."

She went on to say: "I believe we should be creating new characters for women -- strong female characters. I'm not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that."

According to Fox News, the current Bond hero, Daniel Craig, announced last November that he would cease to play the legendary character once he is done with the upcoming 'No Time To Die' movie that is scheduled for release in coming April.

Commenting on Daniel parting ways with the franchise, Broccoli said: "I'm in total denial. I've accepted what Daniel has said, but I'm still in denial. It's too traumatic for me."

Fox News reported last July that the British Actress Lashana Lynch could possibly star in the 2020 Bond flick, but such speculations were dispelled once the trailer for the movie was brought out last December.
