In a recent interview with K-pop group Stray Kids' Bang Chan, Reynolds said that Free Guy is his favourite movie he's ever made. "It was just a fun movie. It was so nice to do a movie that was so fun and that made you laugh, cry, and jump out of your seat. All of those things were so much fun to be a part of and it's my favourite movie I've ever made," he shared.

In an interview with Screen Rant, Reynolds added, "It was a script that I read; I sent it to Shawn Levy, and I said, "This is something I think we could do together." I loved the themes of it - particularly backdropped by the world we've been living in the last [few] years. And we just jumped into it. Zak Penn and Shawn Levy and I all just started a massive rewrite that really went all the way through to the editing room. It was such a labor of love. But there's an old expression, "Listen to your movie because it will talk to you." And the reason why I keep working with Shawn and love Shawn so much is he believes in that same sort of idea as well."

Together we aim to make an entertaining film that uncovers one of the most shocking scandals in our country.”

I am confident that Phantom Hospital will be a pathbreaking movie that will showcase Mahesh's mastery over the craft and Priti's capability to see through challenging projects."

On his Hindi Film debut, Mahesh Narayanan said, "I was instantly drawn to the story inspired from true incidents in the Healthcare sector of India. It gives me immense pleasure to associate with Priti Shahani, who as a producer, has consistently delivered quality content, and Josy Joseph, whose meticulous research has added great layers to the story. My films have received so much love from the Hindi audiences that I am truly looking forward to directing my first Hindi Feature."

No Sonam Kapoor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s cinema; filmmaker clarifies

No Sonam Kapoor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s cinema; filmmaker clarifies

Of late a number of stars have been seen visiting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s office. Every time a star’s car drives into the filmmaker’s office the rumours of collaboration abound. Earlier there were reports of Deepika Padukone, Kartik Aaryan, Ranbir Kapoor visiting the filmmaker’s office to discuss projects. They all turned out to be friendly visits.

No Sonam Kapoor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s cinema; filmmaker clarifies

Now it’s Sonam Kapoor Ahuja who was seen visiting Bhansali’s office, thereby setting tongues wagging about a film together. “No such thing!” says an informed source. “Like all the other stars who were seen visiting Mr Bhansali’s office, Sonam just dropped in for a chat since they go back a long way.”

For those came in late, Sanjay Bhansali launched Sonam Kapoor in 2007’s Saawariya. Though the film didn't work at the box office it kicked off both Sonam and Ranbir Kapoor’s career.

Sonam has remained in touch with Bhansali. Her dropping in to meet her mentor is not a signal for their renewed partnership. A tad angrily Sanjay Leela Bhansali clarifies, “There are many actors who come to visit. We chat over a cup of tea. We don’t have to work together just because we are meeting socially.”

Hope this puts an end to the ceaseless train of speculation every time a star visits any filmmaker.

If close friends of Shilpa Shetty Kundra are to be believed then she is planning life ahead away from her incarcerated husband with her two children. “Raj Kundra’s troubles aren’t going away in a hurry. On the contrary they seem to be multiplying every week. The disclosure of Raj Kundra’s alleged link with adult content came as much as shock to Shilpa as the rest of us. She had no clue that the diamonds and duplex were coming from nefarious resources,” says a friend of the actress.

Apparently Anurag Basu and Priyadarshan have already promised her roles. “Maintaining her standard of living won’t be a problem for Shilpa even if her husband is inside for a long time,” says the source.

Raveena Tandon to play negative character in Manish Gupta’s thriller?

August 29, 2021 Add Comment

The ravishing Raveena Tandon has just wrapped up the shooting for a thriller written and directed by Manish Gupta who has earlier directed thrillers such as Stoneman Murders, Hostel and Rahasya. Gupta’s new thriller, whose plot is being kept under wraps, will feature Raveena in a role she has never played before.

Raveena Tandon to play negative character in Manish Gupta’s thriller

Gupta is all praise for the actress. “Raveena is a rare combination of beauty and substance. She’s genuinely a sensitive and caring human being. She is a Good Samaritan and philanthropist who goes out of her way to help those in need. Her professionalism is exemplary. She arrives sharp on time every single day of the shoot; such punctuality is very rare in Bollywood. She is very polite to everyone on the set irrespective of their rank. Her screen presence is absolutely riveting.”

Though there is no confirmation yet on this, Raveena apparently plays a negative role in Gupta’s film: her second plunge into the grey zone after the eagerly awaited franchise KGF Chapter 2.

Without giving away Raveena's role or the plot, Gupta proclaims, “In my film, she has delivered an electric performance that’ll give audiences goose bumps. On many occasions, her performance was so intense and sincere that my crew and I broke into applause for her. Cinema is a passion for her. With this film, she’ll prove her mettle as a powerhouse performer”

SCOOP: Tiger Shroff-Kriti Sanon starrer Ganapath is set in the future, in the year 2090?

SCOOP: Tiger Shroff-Kriti Sanon starrer Ganapath is set in the future, in the year 2090?

August 29, 2021 Add Comment

Tiger Shroff has proved to be a major crowd puller and hence his films are always awaited keenly by not just the trade and industry but also by exhibitors and his fans. His last film Baaghi 3 (2020) released just before the lockdown and if cinemas had not shut, it would have proved to be another Rs. 100 crore grosser for the action hero. The actor is now gearing up for the shoot of two films – Heropanti 2 and Ganapath.

SCOOP: Tiger Shroff-Kriti Sanon starrer Ganapath is set in the future, in the year 2090?

Speaking of Ganapath, a source told us that it’s going to be one of its kind entertainers. The source revealed, “The film is said to be set in the year 2090. It'll have a dystopian setup, showing a world ravaged by wars or other such calamities. Director Vikas Bahl has worked very hard and the producers have given him all the support to ensure that the futuristic era depicted in the film will take the breath away of the viewers and emerge as one of the USPs of the film.”

Recently, the makers announced that Ganapath would release on December 23, 2022. This announcement was made by a teaser video depicting Tiger Shroff in a street fighter mode. The futuristic-style buildings in the backdrop in this and the earlier promos were also a giveaway that the film is not a present-day story.

A trade expert said, “If this is true, then my excitement for Ganapath has gone many notches higher. We need such VFX-heavy and visually grand films to attract viewers in post-Covid era. And Ganapath seems apt. Also, it stars Tiger Shroff and hence, it won’t be dark or anything of that sort. I am sure it’ll be a mass entertainer. Hollywood has made plenty of dystopian films and it’s high time we should do the same. Tiger Shroff seems to be a Mumbai ka chokra in the film. It’ll be interesting to see such a massy character based in the future. The audience would go crazy for sure.”

For Ganapath, Tiger Shroff reunites with his debut film Heropanti’s (2014) co-star, Kriti Sanon. According to earlier reports, Ganapath was supposed to go on floors in September. But with Tiger Shroff busy with the shoot of Heropanti 2 next month, Ganapath is expected to go on floors in October.

Anil Kapoor and Varun Dhawan led the charge in the song, which is choreographed by Adil Shaikh and features dancers and younger artists. He previously collaborated with Varun in the film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.

As per reports, despite the enormous workforce, the production team is working under the new normal and following COVID-19 protocols. A supervisor is constantly patrolling the unit to ensure that everyone is following the guidelines. However, the crew is overjoyed because it is the first time in a long time that a Bollywood film is filming a song on such a large scale. It's as though the pre-Covid days had returned, albeit with new regulations.

This film, directed by Raj Mehta, who previously directed Good Newwz, tells the narrative of two generations of spouses. Jug Jugg Jeeyo is a lighthearted drama about love and generational differences. The family entertainer began filming in November of last year, but it was put on hold after many cast members, including Neetu Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, tested positive for Covid-19.

On the work front, Anil Kapoor will be seen in movies like Animal and Thar. Varun Dhawan will be seen in the horror drama Bhediya with Kriti Sanon. He also has Sajid Nadiadwala's Sanki and Sriram Raghavan's Ekkis in the offing.

Ronnie Screwvala suffers Rs. 30 crore loss as Vicky Kaushal & Sara Ali Khan's Ashwathama gets shelved

Ronnie Screwvala suffers Rs. 30 crore loss as Vicky Kaushal & Sara Ali Khan's Ashwathama gets shelved

August 28, 2021 Add Comment

The reports of the modern day mythology, The Immortal Ashwathama getting shelved came across as a shock to the industry. The reports stated that producer Ronnie Screwvala decided to put the film featuring Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan indefinitely on hold due to budget issues. And now it has come to our notice that the team of this modern day superhero saga has suffered massive losses.

"Ashwathama has been in the prep stage for over two years now. The team did multiple recces, worked on the entire pre visualisation, did multiple meetings with the VFX team, got an international action unit on board to train Sara and Vicky for their action packed role over the last one year. Producer Ronnie Screwvala spent over Rs. 30 crore to get everything in place, and now, the entire investment has gone for a toss," a source shared with Bollywood Hungama.

The source further adds that the decision to shelve the film has been taken after the producer was not on the same page as his director, Aditya Dhar taking the budget and creative aspects. "After investing a considerable chunk, Ronnie realised that the final budget of the film was going out of control and it would be difficult to recover the money even in the non Covid times, The film was initially planned to be made in a certain amount of budget, but as the pre-production work kicked off, the budget kept on increasing by the day. Finally, he felt that it's better to let go off the investment of Rs. 30 crores, rather than burning his pockets in the longer frame of time. He had a meeting with his investors, actors and director and finally took the tough call of shelving the film," the source added.

The source insists that the film is completely shelved for now, and Ronnie has asked all the talents to find another script. However, the industry is unpredictable and he may just revisit the script a couple of years down the lane if he feels confident enough to invest the money in it. "He loves Aditya Dhar after working with him on URI, but has taken a practical call over here, as reality scores over emotions for him. Aditya is yet to decide on what to do next, whereas Vicky and Sara have already started to find new projects to kick off in the time allotted for Ashwathama," the source informed.

Ronnie, Vicky and Aditya have worked on URI: The Surgical Strike, which is among the biggest blockbusters of Hindi cinema in the last few years. The trio was expected to replicate the success of URI with Ashwathama.
