Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Kapoor grab top Golden Kela awards

March 15, 2015

New Delhi, Mar 15: While actor Arjun Kapoor was bestowed with the Worst Actor (Male) award for 'Gunday' at the 7th Annual Golden Kela Awards, actress Sonakshi Sinha won the Worst Actor (Female) award hands down, for 'Action Jackson', 'Lingaa' and 'Holiday'.

This was a hat-trick for Sonakshi as she swept the award for the third consecutive year.

The 7th edition of the ceremony was held at the India Habitat Centre here on Saturday, where it honoured the worst in Indian cinema in a lighter vein, said a statement.

sonakshi kela awardSinger Yo Yo Honey Singh was chosen for the Bas Kijiye Bahut Ho Gaya Award while his composition 'Blue hai paani paani' from 'Yaariyan' got the Most Irritating Song award.

Tiger Shroff failed to impress with 'Heropanti' and was accredited with the Worst Debut Award, while 'Bang Bang!' was chosen for the RGV Ki Aag Award for Most Pointless Remake/Sequel.

'Humshakals' seemed like a disaster with Saif Ali Khan, Ram Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh dressing up as what they call 'women', all through the movie. It got the Worst Film award.

The Baanwra Ho Gaya Hai Ke Award went to Abhishek Sharma for 'The Shaukeens', for his selection of remaking a movie without knowing where and how to go about it and ending up making a complete mess of things.

On winning this Award, Sharma said: "I am extremely excited to win the Baanwra Award, as Golden Kela Awards are the only awards worth winning in this industry that celebrates mediocrity like no other film industry in the world. Proud to be one of the baanwras of Bollywood."

Sonam Kapoor won the Why Are You Still Trying Award, it conveys that she should stop torturing audiences with her plastic presence in movies and start focussing on something she is good at, like Fashion. Also, in the Special Awards Category, 'PK' won the Fanaa Award for Most Pointlessly Controversial Film.

Priyanka Chopra, though she did a commendable job as Mary Kom, couldn't quite nail the accent. The Dara Singh Award for the Worst Accent, thus, had her name written all over it.

In the horror movie domain, '6 - 5 = 2' was chosen for the Khooni Dracula Award for Most Creatively Named Horror Film.

Los Angeles, Mar 6: Filmmaker-writer Taika Waititi is set to direct two animated series based on Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" for Netflix.

Waititi, who won an Academy Award in February for his adapted screenplay, "Jojo Rabbit", will also serve as the writer and producer on the animated series.

According to Deadline, the first series will be based on the world of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", while the second will be an original take on the Oompa-Loompa characters from the book.

The Oompa-Loompas are little humans who were preyed upon in Loompaland before Wonka invited them to work at his chocolate factory. They are paid in cocoa beans and love practical jokes and singing songs.

Netflix said the animation series would "retain the quintessential spirit and tone of the original story while building out the world and characters far beyond the pages of the Dahl book for the very first time."

The series will follow in the footsteps of Gene Wilder's 1971 portrayal of Willy Wonka and Johnny Depp's 2005 interpretation.

Chennai, Mar 28: Chennai City Corporation personnel stuck a home quarantine sticker at the office of actor-politician Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needhi Maiam office on Saturday, leading to speculation that the matinee star was quarantined for the coronavirus.

While there was speculation if Kamal Haasan was quarantined, the Greater Chennai Corporation said their staffers pasted the sticker on the premises because actress Gautami Tadimalli "returned from Dubai recently and her passport has this address (Eldams Road in upscale Alwarpet)."

The present residence of the actress was not known immediately.

The sticker read, "We are in home quarantine to safeguard ourselves and Chennai from the coronavirus." It was removed soon, an official said, declining to elaborate.

Kamal Haasan clarified in a statement that he was not quarantined.

"Based on the notice stuck outside my house, news has been spread saying that I have been quarantined. But most of you already know that I have not been living there for the past few years and the Makkal Needhi Maiam party office has been functioning from there," he said.

Further, the actor said, the news that he has been quarantined "is not true."

As a precautionary measure, he has been maintaining social distancing, he said.
