Salim_Khan_ReleasesMumbai, Apr 17: Ace scriptwriter and father of Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan, Salim Khan launched the Urdu version of the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s official website. Salim Khan launched the website on Wednesday morning from his residence in Mumbai.

Salim Khan and his family have been vocal about their support to Narendra Modi and have several times defended the Gujarat Chief Minister on the issue of Gujarat riots.

Earlier, Khan had said that under Modi’s rule Muslims were safe and had pointed that Gujarat had not faced a single incident of rioting in more than a decade now.

To support his statement, Salim referred to the 1992 riots in Mumbai and said no one blamed the Chief Minister for the deaths and also added that no one even remembers the name of the Chief Minister under whose regime the riots took place.

Through an introductory note in a book title ‘Modi, Muslims and Media’, Salim Khan had endorsed the Gujarat Chief Minister and slammed the national media for propagating “anti-muslim” image of Narendra Modi.

Salim Khan’s son, Superstar Salman Khan recently went on record and said Narendra Modi does not need to apologise for the 2002 Gujarat riots.

While travelling across country to promote his film ‘Jai Ho’, Salman Khan had met Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad on the occasion of ‘Makar Sankranti’. The meeting between the two heavy weights of their respective fields had created quite a buzz after pictures of them flying kite appeared in the public domain.

New Delhi, Aug 4: Almost two months after the demise of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, actor Preity Zinta on Tuesday watched his last film 'Dil Bechara' for the second time and said it was an 'emotional roller coaster'.

The 'Kal Ho Na Ho' actor shared a picture of one of the scenes from the film on Instagram and thanked film director Mukesh Chhabra for doing justice to the 'Kai Po Che!' actor's last film.

"Saw #Dilbechara again Thank you @castingchhabra for doing full justice to Sushant's last movie," she wrote in the caption.
"It was surreal, a tearjerker and an emotional roller coaster all the way," she added.

She also praised Sushant's co-actor Sanjana Sanghi for doing a "fab job" in the film which happens to be her debut flick.

"@sanjanasanghi96 U and the rest of the cast did a fab job. Congratulations to all of you. #Bittersweet #MissU," the 45-year-old actor further wrote.

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.
