WAR: Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff shut down Porto for 2 days!

“We shot an intense, high-speed action sequence between Hrithik and Tiger in Porto. The high octane scene required Tiger to chase down Hrithik and this extensive sequence needed us to get permission to shut down the main bridge at Porto for two days! The local authorities were extremely supportive and we got all due clearances for us to shoot this adrenaline-pumping scene. However, the locals were stunned! They had never seen their city in lockdown mode ever and they were super curious and came to see which film had locked down their bridge. Their reactions were priceless because they were stunned seeing the kind of action that Hrithik and Tiger were performing!” informs Siddharth.

Exclusive: With Inshallah on hold will Sanjay Leela Bhansali bear the brunt of pre-production expenses which runs to over Rs. 15 crores?

When Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to put on hold his love story, Inshallah on Monday, starring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt, his decision left many stunned, apparently, including his own team. The reason being, pre-production work had not only started on the movie but a massive set, worth crores, had also been constructed at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. Alia had shot for a song for three days on the set and Salman was to join her this week. With Inshallah on hold till the fate of the movie is decided by Bhansali himself, the production costs seem will be skyrocketing, which include the salaries and fees of this involved in pre-production, construction of set, location charges in India and USA. The story of Inshallah revolves around the romance between US-based Muslim tycoon in love with small-town girl and aspiring actress from North India.

Exclusive With Inshallah on hold will Sanjay Leela Bhansali bear the brunt of pre-production expenses which runs to over Rs. 15 crores

A trade source says, “Inshallah was a Sanjay Leela Bhansali Production. It’s said that the filmmaker has paid out of his pocket the pre-production expenses till now as no studio is on board the project as yet. Apparently, Salman had offered to take over the production reins and offered to fund the film in total but while discussions were still on, the project fell apart. But pre-production expenses have cost the filmmaker even before the project started and if rumours are to be believed, he has apparently, shelled out almost Rs. 15 crore from his own pocket. He started the movie more than a year ago and apart from investing in the shoot, money was spent on pre-production, the salaries of every department and part of Team Inshallah. Bhansali has to pay those off too.”

The source adds that Bhansali had blocked Mehboob Studio in Bandra for the month of August. “He’s known to shoot in complete privacy and didn’t like people taking pictures on their cell phones and leaking out the look of the film so he preferred to block the full studio which is why news of the shoot didn’t reach many years. Blocking a studio for so long would cost almost a crore as he had taken over the entire studio. Alia was also paid a signing amount and her song (which featured Salman this week) was shot on a grand set for three days a few days ago. The filmmaker is known to shoot on sets worth crores. The team was to go to Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar after that to shoot Alia’s character and then fly to Orlando and the beaches of Miami for Salman’s scenes. Other actors too had been finalised for the film and they had been paid their signing amounts, so yes money had been invested in Inshallah before it properly rolled. If the filmmaker did pay out of his pocket amount, he would be at a loss today, unless the film rolls again.”

Bard Of Blood: Emraan Hashmi says he got engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand

Acting for many is largely about learning – be it learning a new language, immersing yourself into your character’s personality. For actor Emraan Hashmi, who plays Kabir Anand, a spy and intelligence officer in Netflix’s upcoming espionage thriller Bard of Blood, it was all this and more. This is the first time in his career that Emraan is playing an out-and-out action role– the role of a spy fighting behind the scenes for the safety of his own men and, along the way, how he addresses some of his own unfinished business.

Bard Of Blood: Emraan Hashmi says he got engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand

Based on a book of the same name by Bilal Siddiqui, Bard of Blood follows Kabir, an erstwhile hostage rescue specialist, formerly a part of the Indian intelligence, as he races against time on a mission to save his country. Especially after reading the book, Emraan was determined to take up all the challenges that came across to do full justice to the character of Kabir Anand.

When asked about his relationship with the book and the series, Emraan Hashmi said, “I had launched Bilal’s book almost five years ago. I read the book after the launch, at that time it wasn’t sanctioned for a Netflix show, later it was. The cherry on the top was that I was cast as Kabir Anand. I started liking the book back then when I was reading it and was engrossed in the world of Kabir Anand .”

To essay this character, Emraan had to prepare both physically and mentally to accurately portray the role of a spy. He had to delve deep into the discipline that goes into learning the body language of an intelligence agent. From something as complex as learning new and varied action sequences to something as simple as holding a gun in the correct manner, he had to train for everything in the quest for perfection.

Veteran stunt director Ryan Sturz (of ‘Captain Marvel’, ‘Den of Thieves’, ‘Logan’ fame) directed the action sequences of Bard of Blood. He was meticulous when it came to the kind of guns and props that were used in the show. He ensured that Emraan learned how to correctly hold different types of guns and how to fire each one of them, of course, while keeping the actor’s safety in mind. 

Emraan’s dedication and hard work has shone through in every frame of Bard of Blood, which will leave the audience wanting more. The show will be launched on the 27th of September, 2019 only on Netflix. All episodes of the series will be launched at the same time exclusively on Netflix to 151 million users across 190 countries.

16 Years Of Gangaajal: Ajay Devgn says the film was the right voice at the right time

Over the years, Ajay Devgn has been a part of several interesting films and one of them his Gangaajal. The film was a hard-hitting drama starring Ajay and Gracy Singh in lead roles. Today, the actor is celebrating 16 years since the film released.

16 Years Of Gangaajal: Ajay Devgn says the film was the right voice at the right time

Ajay Devgn took to Twitter to say that the film was the right voice at the right time. He wrote, “16 years of #Gangaajal. A film that was an eye-opener on corruption, caste-politics and other social evils. Found the right voice at the right time.”

Directed by Prakash Jha, Gangaajal was a crime drama which revolved around an IPS officer Amit Kumar who leads his corrupt force to fight against the corrupt politician. It was a hit at the box office.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is currently working on several projects including Bhuj: The Pride Of India, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Maidaan, Chanakya among others.

10 Love duets that became anthems for debutant stars

It has been a tradition for decades now: when a new lead pair starts out together, they usually begin with a romantic film—and a musical one at that. Oftener than not, the album driver is a romantic duet—at least one—that propels their popularity and—if the film is a hit—their stardom.

The trend of sorts with Bobby in 1973 and went all the way to Kaho Naa…Pyaar Haiin 2000. After this came a lull as we simply missed such love anthems for the many newer actors who came in since in pairs. However, this now age-old custom may get a fillip if the song from Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas—its title-track by Arijit Singh and Parampara—does the requisite numbers in an era when success is measured differently and digitally.

Here are 10 love duets that became anthems for major stars in their films. Most of them also remain “Signature Tunes” (the first song thought of when an artiste comes to mind).

1. Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho’ (Bobby): To say that this peppy love duet created a national sensation would be an understatement. Anand Bakshi’s naughty lines in the innocent early seventies was just that much bold to be on the right side of propriety,with a ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ kind of twist in the words of the question-answer mukhda, 20 years before it! Shailendra Singh was instantly identified as the voice of Rishi Kapoor, and Lata Mangeshkar, reuniting with Raj Kapoor after almost a decade, sounded as young as the teenage Dimple Kapadia.

The film had an all-hit Laxmikant-Pyarelal score that contributed hugely to its mammoth success, with three duets filmed on the lead pair, and later ‘Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate’ became an equal rage. These songs consolidated the Teenage Icon label on Rishi Kapoor.

2. ‘Dekho Maine Dekha Hai’ (Love Story): Amit Kumar, who had been shortlisted for Bobby, got a major break when Rajendra Kumar cast him as son Kumar Gaurav’s first voice. Here again, it was Lata Mangeshkar for the young heroine, Vijayta Pandit, and Bakshi was again there, writing the catchy lines. Later, ‘Yaad Aa Rahi Hai’ became more celebrated, but unlike with Bobby, Kumar Gaurav, until he faded out, did support Amit Kumar and they went on to do more films, especially under R.D. Burman. And Amit’s voice perfectly fitted the sober youth of the hero.

10 Love duets that became anthems for debutant stars

3. Tere Mere Beech Mein’ (Ek Duuje Ke Liye): This was a humdinger that made Raag Shivranjani famous for over a decade in Hindi films, thanks to its distinct pitching. S.P. Balasubramaniam and Lata Mangeshkar (again) sang three duets, including the title-song. The all-hit score was brilliant, and this song towered above them all. In the 1980s, whatever Laxmikant-Pyarelal did, other composers followed, and SPB was thus associated with Kamal Haasan in later films as well. But he remained essentially the voice of Kamal and Rajinikanth till Maine Pyar Kiya at the end of the decade.

4. Jab Hum Jawan Honge’ (Betaab): Dharmendra, in his own words, would have loved Mohammed Rafi to be the first voice of his son Sunny Deol. But Rafi was no longer around, and Shabbir Kumar was making waves, having recorded for Amitabh Bachchan in Coolie and Anil Kapoor in Woh 7 Din. And so, R.D. Burman, for once, went the Rafi way and with Anand Bakshi’s fab words, fashioned an all-hit Rafi-ian score. Lata Mangeshkar, too, was omnipresent, but Shabbir became, for a long while, the preferred voice of this tough hero with the soft face and heart.

5. Tu Mera Jaanu Hai’ (Hero): The Laxmikant-Pyarelal-Anand Bakshi score not only created the hype for the new hero Jackie Shroff and the one-flop-old nonentity Meenakshi Seshadri, but also made the film sail through the initial two weeks when it opened and remained dull. Later, Hero was to emerge as 1983’s biggest blockbuster, with the music giving a new lease of life to singer Manhar and consolidating big-time for Anuradha Paudwal. Manhar and Jackie became an enduring team for a decade and more, and the music, with its other chartbusters including ‘Lambi Judaai’ an all-time perennial. Manhar’s deeply sonorous and intense voice was the perfect match for the tough Greek God hero.

6. Ae Mere Humsafar’ (Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak): The instant chartbuster may have been Papa Kehte Hain’ but there were three Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik duets in the film and from these, the placid Ae Mere Humsafar’ was the popular winner. Udit Narayan was established as the prime voice of Aamir Khan, and Alka Yagnik, inexorably almost, rose to the top among the female voices of the post-Lata generation. This time, an even more senior lyricist called the young shots—Majrooh Sultanpuri—working with young composers Anand-Milind. Somewhere, Aamir’s fiercely individualistic and ambitious streak was both inspired by and connected to his music here, and Uduit and Alka became the preferred singers for the two young stars.

10 Love duets that became anthems for debutant stars

7. Dil Deewana’ (Maine Pyar Kiya): S.P. Balasubramaniam finally made a mark as the voice of a Mumbai star in this Salman Khan-Bhagyashree launch. Lata Mangeshkar was the “vocal and very young” heroine, and another veteran lyricist, Asad Bhopali, wrote the peppy songs, with Dev Kohli coming in for a couple of them. Raamlaxman composed the epic score. Salman Khan’s initially languorous lover-boy image probably had a lot to do with SPB’s mellifluous and placid voice that endured for at least six more films for him, including Love, SaajanPatthar Ke Phool and Hum Aapke Hain Koun!… .

8. Jaan-E-Jigar Jaaneman’ (Aashiqui): This Nadeem-Shravan-Sameer creation led the other songs on the popularity charts initially in this all-hit-and-many-duets score, while ‘Nazar Ke Saamne’ won the longevity race. It was no fault of the composers or lyricists that lead pair Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal did not make it, but this music created history and established Kumar Sanu as the new super-voice. Anuradha Paudwal improved upon her ‘80s success as the first young viable substitute for the Mangeshkars. And for the record, Sanu remained the voice of Rahul Roy in some more films and the musical telefilm Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Ayee.

9. Dheere Dheere Pyar Ko Badhaana Hai’ (Phool Aur Kaante): Nadeem-Shravan and Sameer with their favourite pair of Sanu-Alka created a fluid duet for Ajay Devgn and Madhoo in their debut super-hit. The other songs did well too. Madhoo did not have a great career, and it was left to Sanu to remain Ajay Devgn’s prime voice for a long time.

10. Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ (Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai): Udit Narayan’s effervescence and Alka Yagnik’s ebullience seemed tailor-made for the vibrant and uninhibited newbie pair of Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel. A mood composition with perfect orchestration and lyrics by Ibrahim Ashq set to rollicking music from Hrithik’s uncle Rajesh Roshan helped the dream debut in this super-hit album. Though four voices were tried out for Hrithik in this film, it was Udit’s young tenor that helped established Hrithik’s persona as a bright, youthful hero.
