R Madhavan doesn’t want to be Manu in Tanu Weds Manu anymore; says, ‘No point beating a dead horse’

R Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut wooed audiences with a romance-comedy franchise Tanu Weds Manu. The two films that released with the onscreen couple managed to garner immense audience appreciation both times. However, we haven’t seen the return of the third part despite the way people appreciated the chemistry between the pair. When asked the hero, Madhavan, who is the in the midst of promoting Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, revealed that he wouldn’t want to return as Manu.

In report by Hindustan Times, Madhavan was quoted in an interview with the popular YouTuber Jaby Koay, wherein he spoke about the third part of Tanu Weds Manu. “I think that’s water under the bridge. There is no point in beating a dead horse. You know, it’s so difficult to come up with original stuff, and then there are expectations of a film. See, if it’s a sequel to Avengers or a superhero series, it’s easier because you have a template. But with Tanu Weds Manu, it’s impossible. And I think I am done with it. I don’t want to go back to being Manu now,” he was quoted saying.

For the uninitiated, Tanu Weds Manu that released in 2011, showcases the story of the two titular characters, how they meet and how complex their love story gets, eventually leading to marriage. Tanu Weds Manu Returns in 2015 spoke about their post marriage life which deals with their internal issues and the entry of yet another character named Datto who adds twist to the plot. While the 2011 release had garnered a positive response from the audience, the 2015 film managed to break records.

Speaking about Madhavan's forthcoming film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, it marks the directorial debut of R Madhavan and is based on the life of the ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. It is slated to release on July 1.

South actor Arjun Das set to make Hindi debut as lead in Angamaly Diaries adaptation; filmmaker Madhumita to helm film

Abundantia Entertainment today ended all speculation around its Hindi remake of the iconic Malayalam film, Angamaly Diaries, by announcing that Arjun Das will make his Hindi debut as the lead in the film. After doing films like Kaithi, Master and Vikram, Arjun will lead a talented cast of young actors in the yet untitled film. In equally exciting news, the Hindi film will be directed by Madhumita Sundararaman who shot to fame with her endearing Tamil film Karuppudurai (KD).

The presently untitled film also marks Madhumita’s foray into the Hindi film industry after doing films in South languages. Set in Goa never seen before on Indian screen, the Hindi adaptation of Angamaly Diaries revolves around the story of a group of friends that form their own ‘gang’ to run a business against all odds in a town that’s as eclectic as they are.  Goa forms an apt backdrop to depict the madness, mayhem, and outlandish methods of a unique set of characters who are trying to get ahead in life by using every way possible.

With films like Shakuntala Devi, Chhorii, Sherni and Jalsa, the Hindi adaptation of Anaglamly Diaries is Abundantia Entertainment’s newest addition to its set of exciting offerings to audiences across the globe. Vikram Malhotra, Founder & CEO, Abundantia Entertainment, said, “Angamaly Diaries is hailed globally as a path-breaking film and one which went on to achieve a cult status. We are excited to adapt this cinematic gem for the Hindi audience and couldn’t have asked for a better storyteller than the extremely talented Madhumita in the driver’s seat. On the other hand, Arjun has created such an impact ever since he arrived on the scene that we had to look no farther than him to bring the lead character alive on screen. Abundantia Entertainment and I are thrilled with this double-debut of Madhumita and Arjun and with the amazing team that’s part of the film, I am sure this film will connect strongly with the audience.”

Arjun Das, who makes his Hindi debut with the film, added, “I am delighted that my first step in the Hindi film world is happening on such a strong footing. With Madhumita in command of the re-imagining of such a stellar film like Angamaly Diaries and to have Abundantia Entertainment and Vikram produce the film, I couldn’t have asked for a better start to this new chapter for me. Madhumita has brought her own unique flavour to this film and I can’t wait for the audience to watch her vision for the film.”

Leading from the front, director Madhumita said, “Abundantia Entertainment has a strong track record of backing and producing exciting and progressive stories. I’m thrilled and grateful to collaborate with a producer that supports unique voices. This film will be my interpretation of Lijo’s amazing film, while retaining the essence of the original. We are hopeful that the Hindi film will receive the love and appreciation that the original film did and I take this responsibility proudly. I couldn’t have asked for a better actor than Arjun to play Xavier the protagonist of my film and it’s been a delight to work with him and this exciting bunch of actors and crew as we go about bringing this story to life."

Abundantia Entertainment has an exciting slate for 2022 and 2023 with the Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru starring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan and being directed by Sudha Kongara, the evocative, slice of life film Sukhee starring Shilpa Shetty Kundra and directed by Sonal Joshi and the thrilling multi-starrer Neeyat with Vidya Balan in the lead and Anu Menon helming directing duties. The company is also all set for its highly anticipated theatrical Diwali release, Ram Setu, an action-adventure film starring Akshay Kumar.

Rajeev Sen and Charu Asopa: Charu accuses him of having trust issues; Rajeev accuses her of hiding her first marriage

The fight between married couple Rajeev Sen and Charu Asopa seems to have reached an impasse. While reports are rife about them heading for a divorce, in a recent interview with Delhi Times, the couple spoke about their issues and blamed each other for their failing marriage. While Charu believes that Rajeev has trust issues, the latter asserts that she hid her first marriage from him.

In the reported interview, Charu was quoted saying, “Everyone knows that we have been having problems in our marriage for the past three years since the time we tied the knot. But I kept giving him chances. Earlier, it was for me and then for our daughter, Ziana.” She further went on to add, that she didn’t realize when these chances turned into three years of marriage.

Earlier this month, the television actress sent a legal notice to part ways amicably. Speaking about the same, she went on to state, “He has trust issues and I can’t take it anymore. I sent him a simple notice asking for an amicable separation, as there is nothing left in our relationship. I want to part ways because I don’t want my daughter to grow up in a toxic and abusive environment. I don’t want her to see people hurling abuses at each other.”

On the other hand, Rajeev Sen accused her of hiding her first marriage from him and his family. He was quoted saying, “Practically no one barring those from her hometown, Bikaner (Rajasthan), knew about her first marriage. It was a secret kept hidden from us. So, this came as a shock to me, and it shook me up badly… three years of marriage and I had no clue. I understand it was her past, but she should have at least told me. I would have accepted it with respect if she would have told me about it before getting married.”

However, Charu asserts that she had told him about her past. “He is claiming that he didn’t know about my first marriage! Not only did he know about it, but also appreciated me for moving on from my past and making it on my own in Mumbai. My first marriage happened in February 2007 when I was just 18 and we separated in November 2016 owing to compatibility issues,” she mentioned.

Furthermore, the blame game continued as Charu even claimed that her own family turned against her. She added that her own mother and sister are supporting Rajeev and his thoughts. She also accused Rajeev of not letting her post pictures of their daughter Ziana on social media as he believes in ‘nazar’ (evil eye) and she doesn’t. She went on to conclude that Rajeev isn’t the man she loved and that this marriage has taken a toll on her health. She has given him enough chances and would like to now move on in life with their daughter Ziana.

On the other hand, Rajeev Sen continued to assert that if their daughter could talk, she would have told the world about how much he loves her and how he is always available for her. He also added that Charu should learn how to respect her family as they have been a support system for her since her struggling days.

The series features cast and crew who are blind or have low vision and has been honoured for its representation of the visually impaired, winning the Ruderman Family Foundation Seal of Authentic Representation in 2020. “See” was also recognised this year with an NAACP Image Awards nomination for star Alfre Woodard in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category.

BREAKING: Gupt’s special screening to be held in Mumbai on the occasion of its 25th anniversary; Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol to grace the screening

One of the greatest murder mysteries of Bollywood, Gupt, completes 25 years on July 4. Released in 1997, the film starring Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol was a super-hit due to the whodunit element, tight script, performances and of course, the unforgettable soundtrack. In short, Gupt is a landmark film in Bollywood. And when such an important film turns 25, the celebrations have to be there.

Bollywood Hungama has learnt that a special screening of the film will be held in Mumbai to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Popular radio station, Radio Nasha, has taken the initiative to organize the screening on Saturday, July 9, at Metro INOX Cinemas in South Mumbai. Interestingly, several members of the cast and crew will attend this show – lead actors Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol, director Rajiv Rai, writer and production designer Shabbir Boxwala, music director Viju Shah, etc. Fans will also get a chance to win tickets to this screening, and thus be a part of this unforgettable event.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Gupt has achieved cult status. It had worked big time in cinemas. Those who had seen it on the big screen would get a chance to once again see the film in a cinema hall. Many are huge fans of the film and songs but they were born after the release of the film or were too young when it had released in theatres. They’ll get to experience the magic of the film in all its glory. Also, the actors and other team members would share trivia about the film and that’ll be an icing on the cake.”

When contacted, Shabbir Boxwala exclusively told Bollywood Hungama, “The way Radio Nasha is planning it, I am very thrilled. At the time of the release, we couldn’t enjoy the success, due to certain reasons. We can finally enjoy the film’s success now. I told the same thing to Rajiv as well, that let’s enjoy it now. God has given us a chance (laughs)!”

He also said that “All the actors are also excited for the screening, including Mukesh Rishi and Dalip Tahil. Unfortunately, some cast members are no more, like Om Puri. He was a vital part of the film. Even Ashok ji (cinematographer Ashok Mehta). I’ll miss him the most.”

Radio Nasha has held several such screenings of significant films in the past. One of their most memorable events was the screening of Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), on its 25th anniversary. It was held on August 9, 2019, at Mumbai’s Liberty cinema. Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, director Sooraj Barjatya and many others had graced the screening. The way the lead actors danced and the way the cast and crew went down memory lane made it a very exciting occasion.

Sooraj Pancholi moves court in the Jiah Khan case; seeks a non-bailable warrant against Rabia Khan

Nine years after, Jiah Khan committed suicide, her ex-boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi, who has faced many accusations in the case, have moved the court against the victim’s mother Rabia Khan. As per reports, Sooraj has filed an application at the special CBI court to issue a non-bailable warrant, accusing her of delaying the trail.

Reportedly, Sooraj Pancholi filed a handwritten application, in which, it has been stated that Rabia Khan has been not been paying heed to the summons made by the prosecution. He has also accused Jiah Khan’s mother for not cooperating and avoiding to come to the court, thus, hindering the process of a speedy trial. As per these reports, Rabia has been summoned by the court in relation to the Jiah Khan death case, since February 2022. However, she has not been making these appearances and even filed replies to these summons twice stating that her internet was not working and the second time, she claimed that her home was flooded.

Considering the same, special CBI judge AS Sayyad has asked the CBI to respond to the application filed by Sooraj accusing Rabia of avoiding the court. If these reports are to be believed, after deposing about 14 witnesses, the CBI is yet to present a few more witness to the court.

Readers would be aware that Jiah Khan was found dead at her Juhu residence in 2013. The police investigation claimed that her then boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi was involved and he was arrested by the Juhu police for abetting the suicide. Followed by a series of trials, the Bombay High Court brought in the CBI to conduct further investigation, after which the latter asserted that the case was suicide. While Rabia Khan approached the court many times accusing Sooraj Pancholi’s involvement, in 2017, the latter with the help of his advocate Prashant Patil request the court to fast track the case trials.

R Madhavan thinks Rehnaa Hai Tere Di Mein remake is a ‘brave decision’; wants Kartik Aaryan and Alia Bhatt to play the lead

Being one of the cult romantic dramas of the early 2000s, the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Minnale, Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein (RHTDM) was known for its music and R Madhavan had become a national crush with the film. Maddy aka Madhavan, who will now be making his directorial debut with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, recently was asked about the remake of RHTDM and the actor believed that a film like that should not be remade. On the other hand, he also said that, in case it is remade, he would like Kartik Aaryan and Alia Bhatt to play the lead.

Readers would be aware that Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein marked the debut of Dia Mirza and R Madhavan in Bollywood. The film also featured Saif Ali Khan in a pivotal role. Gautham Vasudev Menon, who also directed the original Tamil version titled Minnale, directed the Hindi version too. Speaking about the cult status the film has acquired over the years, R Madhavan referred to remake of the film as ‘foolishness’. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor said, “I think it’s foolishness, and that’s my opinion. I wouldn’t want to touch that. I wouldn’t do it as a producer. I wish them all the very best from the bottom of my heart, I do.”

He went on to call the remake of RHTDM as a ‘brave decision’ adding, “For the audiences it is more than a movie. It is sort of an anthem in some ways. It’s like almost saying that 15 years from now you want to remake 3 Idiots. I don’t think it's a sensible…”

On the other hand, when he was asked about Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein dream cast for a remake in an India Today interview, the actor responded, “I don’t think the film will be made, but I don't know who else I will cast. But maybe, Kartik (Aaryan), Alia Bhatt maybe.”

Aamir Khan extends help of Rs. 25 lakh to CM Relief Fund amid devastating floods in Assam

Bollywood star Aamir Khan recently extended help towards the CM Relief Fund of Assam. Currently, the state of Assam is going through one of the biggest crises this year due to devastating floods. Over 21 lakh people continued to remain in distress under the impact of the deluge.

In the wake of ravaging surges, several Indian philanthropists are coming ahead to lend help.

Madame Web: Emma Roberts joins Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in Spider-Man spin-off

Emma Roberts is on board to star in the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off Madame Web in an undisclosed role. The film also stars Dakota Johnson and Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney.

As shared by The Hollywood Reporter, introduced in the 1980 comic The Amazing Spider-Man No. 210, Madame Web is a clairvoyant mutant who specializes in predicting the future of Spider-themed superheroes, having mentored not only Peter Parker’s alter ego, but also multiple generations of heroes calling themselves Spider-Woman.

“Traditionally depicted as a blind, paralyzed old woman, she is surrounded by a web-like machine necessary to keep her alive, meaning that she stays away from direct conflict, and rather sends others on missions.” Also joining Johnson and Roberts in the project are Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, and Tahar Rahim, with S.J. Clarkson directing from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

Emma Roberts previously starred in TV shows like Scream Queens and American Horror Story. Her movie credits also include We're The Millers, Nerve, and Scream 4. Emma Roberts' addition to Madame Web marks her first superhero movie role. The new film will likely be heading into production shortly, as it currently slated for a release on July 7, 2023

Selena Gomez calls out Roe v. Wade ruling at Only Murders in the Building premiere - “I’m just not happy”

Only Murders in the Building star Selena Gomez has voiced her opinion on the recent overturning of the landmark Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court. Roe v. Wade is the landmark decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

The singer-actress, who attended the red-carpet premiere of her upcoming second season of the mystery comedy series with co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, took a moment during the event to speak out against the Supreme Court's recent decision. “It’s about voting,” Gomez told Variety. “It’s about getting men — men needing to stand up and also speak against this issue. It’s also the amount of women that are hurting. I’m just not happy and I hope that we can do everything in our power to do something to change that.”

The singer-actress also pointed others to a recent post she shared on Twitter, in which she shared a link to Planned Parenthood's website, explaining it as a valuable resource on what people can do next to help defend abortion access on a state level. “Watching a Constitutional right be stripped away is horrific,” Gomez wrote on Twitter Friday, the same day that the Supreme Court announced its majority decision. “A woman should have the right to CHOOSE what she wants to do with her own body. End of story.”

Meanwhile, the second season of Only Murders in the Building premieres its first two episodes on Hulu on Tuesday.

Jacqueline Fernandez grilled for 8 hours by ED in conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar case

Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday after fresh summons were initiated against her. The actress was reportedly grilled for 8 hours by ED in the conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar case. Jacqueline Fernandez flew to the capital to record her statement after the ED issued summons for a new round of questioning.

The actress was accused of having a connection with the infamous conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and it was alleged that about Rs. 7.27 crores of funds were seized from the actress in the name of proceeds of crime. The actress has been previously questioned thrice in the same case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

According to a report in News 18 earlier, a fixed deposit worth Rs. 7.12 crore has been attached to Jacqueline Fernandez' name. Infact, the ED estimated that Sukesh gifted gifts "worth Rs 5.71 crore to Jacqueline using the extortion money. It is also said that Sukesh gave funds close to $173,000 and around 27,000 Australian dollars to a few close members of Jacqueline’s family."

In Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s statement recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), Sukesh had said that he gave as many as 15 pairs of earrings, five Birkin bags, and other luxury goods from Chanel, Gucci to the actor. The conman also claimed that he gifted Jacqueline Fernandez Cartier bangles and rings and a bracelet by Tiffany & Co. in addition to Rolex watches. He also gave Jacqueline Fernandez jewellery worth Rs 7 crore and gifted her a horse called 'Espuelah'.

In addition, Sukesh Chandrashekhar also extended a loan of USD 150,000 to Jacqueline Fernandez's sister, who lives in the US. He also gave her a BMW X5 car and gifted Jacqueline Fernandez's parents a Maserati and her mother in Bahrain a Porsche. He also extended a loan of USD 50,000 to her brother in Australia.

In its charge sheet, the Delhi Police has accused Sukesh Chandrasekhar and 13 others of duping the wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy to the tune of Rs 200 crore. Officials believe Chandrasekhar extorted Rs. 200 crore from the complainant by claiming that he would facilitate her husband's release from prison.
