Media speculation about Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt wedding off the mark

Image
A video of Ranbir Kapoor’s mother dancing has set tongues wagging about the Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt marriage again. They feel she is rehearsing for the wedding. The truth is, there is no wedding, at least not for another year. Neetuji just loves to dance. A member of the Kapoor clan told this writer, “There will be no wedding this year, and may be not next year either. He (Rishi Kapoor) passed away in April. So there’s absolutely no question of a wedding until the middle of 2021….Unless they (Ranbir-Alia) express a desire to make it legal any time soon. In which case Ranbir’s mom (Neetu Kapoor) will have no objection to the wedding. But neither Ranbir Kapoor nor Alia Bhatt is currently thinking of marriage.” The Kapoor clan-person adds that the proposed marriage is still far from a reality for Ranbir and Alia. “They have to be ready to take the plunge,” says the source.

INSIDE SCOOP: The real reason why Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan’s Coolie No.1 got postponed from Diwali and moved to Christmas!

Image
Bollywood Hungama was the FIRST ON WEB to announce that Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan’s upcoming comic caper, Coolie No. 1 has opted for a direct-to-digital route with a premiere on Amazon Prime Video. We also revealed that the comedy film directed by David Dhawan, will hit the small screen this Diwali, proving to be an entertaining ride for the families across the country. However, in a recent development, Coolie No. 1 will now arrive on Christmas moving back by 45 days from its initial plan to arrive on Diwali. “ Coolie No. 1 was ideal for Diwali considering the comedy genre, however, the current negative sentiment around Sara Ali Khan owing to the entire drug controversy made the makers rethink and restrategise on their release plan. They didn’t want their film to face negative PR owing to Sara Ali Khan, and decided on rather waiting for the matter to settle down than going ahead with a Diwali release,” a source informed Bollywood Hungama, adding further that everyone is of t...

Birthday Special: 5 Amitabh Bachchan films you missed

Image
Even before he turned superstar with Zanjeer  in 1973 Amitabh Bachchan gave incredibly intense performances in some films, and we aren’t only talking about Anand, but other performances where he excelled before stardom. Here are my favourites. 1. Parwana (1971): Arguably Mr B’s finest performance to date,  Parwana features the yet-unaffected actor as a  hataash premee (obsessive lover) ready to go to any extent, even murder, to win his ladylove Yogeeta Bali who loves Navin Nichshol instead. Really, love is blind! In his out-and-out villain’s part Mr B’s ingenious murder plan with a perfect alibi became the talking point of a film that deserved success. Directed by Jyoti Swaroop, who directed Padosan three years earlier, catch it to see the raw hurting lover’s revenge that Mr B perpetrates with implosive intensity. 2. Gehri Chaal (1973): This complicated thriller by Tamil cinema’s doyen C V Sridhar featured Mr B as He...

Image
Amitabh Bachchan won over coronavirus in August and got back to work in September. He began shooting for the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati nearly a month after testing negative for the virus. The megastar who turns 78 today is also a timeless fashion icon and never shies from experimenting. As the host of KBC, Bachchan is seen wearing formal wear, five times a week. The senior actor’s stylist Priya Patil says he is the easiest star to work with as he embraces unusual silhouettes. Talking to a tabloid, Patil said that the meeting for his look was conducted virtually this year due to the pandemic. This time, while the focus was on upping his style quotient, the stylist was also responsible to ensure Bachchan’s safety. Due to the safety guidelines in place which include sanitization and physical distancing, Patil did away with tie knots for the actor this year. Last year, Bachchan had experimented with tie knots including the eldredge, trinity and rose knots. Patil said that sinc...
