Happy New Year actor Sonu Sood gets police protection

Sep 02, 12:23PM

Threat calls from gangsters is what the team of Happy New Year seems have fallen prey to. Earlier we had reported about the incident of firing outside film producer Ali Morani's house. After that, Shah Rukh Khan and Boman Irani too received threats and they have been given police protection. Now the actor who faced a similar crisis is Sonu Sood.

Sonu Sood who plays a prominent role in the upcoming film Happy New Year is also said to have received threatening messages from the gangster because of which he has requested for police protection. This incident started when Morani received threatening calls and messages from gangster Ravi Pujari and later, a group of unidentified biker men fired four rounds outside his bungalow. After that, reportedly Pujari even tried to get in touch with Shah Rukh Khan through his company Red Chillies Entertainment and sent out a threatening message to the superstar asking him to stay away from Morani. It did not end at that! Later, Boman Irani too seeked the help of the police force after he too received threat calls from Pujari's men.

In fact, now we hear that the Mumbai Police has decided to provide security to the entire cast and even to those who have received extortion calls and messages from this gangster in the past three years.

Directed by Farah Khan and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Happy New Year also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Vivian Shah among others. The film is slated to release on October 23.


Ram Gopal Varma booked for offensive tweets

Sep 01, 5:22PM

On Thursday, Ram Gopal Varma set the twitterverse buzzing with his sacrilegious tweets against one of the most adored Indian gods, Ganesh. Following his posts that obviously went down the wrong way, a police case was registered on Sunday against the filmmaker, by lawyer Karuna Sagar, at the Saroornagar police station in Cyberabad.

Further in his complaint, Sagar alleges that Ram Gopal Varma has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus by insulting Lord Ganesh through his series of tweets.

Apart from this complaint several other police complaints were filed against Varma in Mumbai, despite the filmmaker attempting an apology in his usual statistic way saying, "All tweets I put on Ganesha were in my usual manner but unintended by me to hurt anyone's sentiments... but if they did I sincerely apologise."

Karan Johar and Remo DSouza join hands for a film on Formula 1 racing

Sep 01, 2:12PM

Remo D'Souza has many films on his platter right now. While he is busy shooting with Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor for his next ABCD 2, a sequel to the dance film ABCD:Any Body Can Dance, the choreographer turned director has a lot more beyond dance films in his mind. Remo and Karan Johar will be joining hands for a fast paced action film that is based on Formula 1 racing.

Remo and Karan bonded well on the sets of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa where the two are judges and the two decided to team up for a film. In fact, the film was supposed to go on floor before Remo decided to dip his hands into the sequel for ABCD. However, Karan Johar wasn't satisfied with the initial script of the action film and had asked for a few changes, due to which, Remo decided to shift focus to ABCD 2.

ABCD 2 is based in Las Vegas unlike its prequel which was based in Mumbai. The film is inspired from the real life story of popular dancers Suresh and Vernon of the Fictitious Group. Apart from that, Remo will also be working on a dance thriller starring Tiger Shroff and it is to be produced by Ekta Kapoor.

As far as the film on Formula 1 racing is concerned, it is still in its initial stages and the cast for the same is yet to be finalized.

Sep 01, 2:09PM

Usually a film achieves the tax free status in any city or state, only post its release. However, the upcoming sports biopic Mary Kom, that features Priyanka Chopra, has already been declared tax free in Maharashtra and UP.

After giving birth to two beautiful children, she made her comeback into the ring and went on to become both a stronger woman and a stronger boxer.

Directed by Omung Kumar and co-produced by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Mary Kom is set to release on September 5.


Homi Adajanias next with Saif Ali Khan shelved

Sep 01, 1:02PM

Homi Adajania was looking forward to work with his Cocktail star Saif Ali Khan once he wrapped up the promotions of his upcoming film Finding Fanny. However, now it seems that their film is caught up in a fix. Apparently, Saif and Homi were looking buying the rights of an international film and the deal did not get through. Now it seems that they have planned to shelve the film.

The film in question was said to be a romantic comedy and Homi Adajania along with Saif Ali Khan were in search of a leading lady for the same. It was to go on floors in Australia in November once Saif wraps up his other commitments. However, when the two approached the makers of the international film to buy the rights, they faced a few legal issues because of which they had to drop the idea. Saif recently revealed that the film is off for now since they couldn't get hold of the rights of the film.

In the past few months this is the third film of Saif Ali Khan that has been shelved. Prior to this, his film with Abbas-Mustan too was shelved. The film in question was supposedly inspired from the French novel 'The Count of Monte Cristo' but Saif decided to make an exit citing date issues. After that, Dinesh Vijan's directorial debut too was pushed to the backburner. In fact, Dinesh's film was said to bring together Saif Ali Khan and his fan and admirer Parineeti Chopra for the first time on screen but Saif had claimed that the script of the film required changes since it had a striking similarity with Arif Ali's Lekar Hum Deewana Dil which was produced by Dinesh and Saif under the banner Illuminati Films.

Saif Ali Khan is currently wrapping up two films, one is the Ileana D'Cruz and Kalki Koechlin starrer Happy Ending and the other is Kabir Khan's Phantom alongside Katrina Kaif.
