"I couldn’t feel more grateful that my industry is bouncing back" - says Vaani Kapoor on wrapping up Bellbottom during pandemic
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the business has to restart for Bollywood. BellBottom starring Akshay Kumar and Vaani Kapoor is the first film to have gone on floors and they have perfectly shot an outdoor shooting schedule in Scotland. Vaani, who wraps her shooting for the entertainer, credits her production house, Pooja Entertainment, for an incredible effort in making the shoot a really safe and fun experience.
Vaani says, “Shooting for BellBottom was a really fun and good experience. Despite the ongoing challenges with the ongoing pandemic the team managed to have a really smooth and safe shooting experience while filming with a large crew for which they deserve all the credit.”
The entire team followed all safety precautions and ensured they created the perfect bio-bubble. Vaani says, “We were made to feel safe on the sets because of their commitment to safety and hygiene. I was a bit jittery when I boarded the flight, however, Pooja Entertainment and their team gave me the confidence to keep shooting.”
Vaani is having a hectic year as she is set to immediately start shooting for her next opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. It is a progressive love story being directed by Abhishek Kapoor. She says, “I’m looking forward to shooting with Ayushmann for this progressive love story that is being directed by Abhishek Kapoor. I couldn’t feel more grateful that my industry is slowly bouncing back.”

CBFC is at it again; removes ‘sensuous and explicit’ visuals from Khaali Peeli; replaces ‘r****i’ with ‘aunty’
One of the advantages of having direct OTT releases was that the films would be free of censorship. Hence, expletives and intimate scenes were shown freely without haphazard cuts. But now with Khaali Peeli releasing not just online but also in drive-in cinemas in Bengaluru and Gurugram, getting the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) became mandatory for the makers. And unfortunately, the Ishaan Khatter-Ananya Panday starrer has faced several cuts, a few of them being laughable.
As per the cut list, the ‘sensuous and explicit’ visuals in the song 'Tehas Nehas' have been removed. Two scenes of Choksi Seth (Swananad Kirkire) staring lecherously at Pooja (Ananya Panday) have been removed and also the vulgar-induced dialogues in these sequences. Other dialogues to have been snipped from the final cuts are ‘Saale nalla hai tu. Fattu hai’, ‘Dus saal tak virgin raha; hold karke baitha tha’, ‘virgin bhramachari’ and ‘harami’. ‘Tichya Aaila’, meanwhile, was muted. In some dialogues, so-called objectionable terms were replaced. ‘Maa ki aankh’ was replaced with ‘bhains ki aankh’, ‘maa ki’ was replaced with ‘bhains ki’, ‘item’ with ‘ladki’ and ‘r****i’ was replaced with ‘aunty’. The CBFC also told the makers to insert a disclaimer in the beginning stating that all those associated with the film are against the exploitation and objectification of children and women. Lastly, anti-smoking ad was added at the beginning of the second half and the font size of anti-smoking tickers was increased.
After all these changes were made, Khaali Peeli was passed by the CBFC with a U/A certificate on September 22. The total length of the film is 119 minutes. A source close to the project says that the makers would be releasing the censored version on the OTT platform Zee Plex as well.

Akshay Kumar wraps up Bellbottom shooting in Scotland during the pandemic
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much - this maxim perhaps best describes the Bellbottom journey from start to finish. A schedule that began as an impossibility has culminated into a storybook ending that has put the Hindi film industry right on the global map.
"It's teamwork and I am grateful to each and every member of the cast and crew from the spot dadas to the light dadas to the technicians to the make-up dadas to my lovely heroines Vaani, Lara, Huma, my director Ranjit and to Vashuji and the production team who believed in our audacious plan. The new normal has made us realise a different way of working that none of us could have imagined. I hope this encourages film industries globally to do what they do best and start entertaining audiences again. I hope our shoot during the pandemic reassures others that keeping all safety in mind it’s time to get things moving again.” says Akshay Kumar as the film completed its start-to-finish schedule making it the first film in the world to do so.
The film finds itself in the company of a handful of international, mega-budget films that got back on the floors during the pandemic such as Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 7 and Jurassic Park: Dominion, managing to shoot in an unprecedented environment. In the process, Bellbottom has become the first of these films to complete shooting the entire film.
For Pooja Entertainment, 'Bellbottom' has been the most challenging production in recent times. For the producers it meant managing a stringent health protocol for a massive 200-plus Indian contingent and a 24×7 production crew ensuring the production proceeded seamlessly. The film’s shoot not only got the artists back on the sets but also industry professionals involved in the process of filmmaking. BellBottom resuming shoot has set a precedent for the global film industry and been a step forward in normalising the current working situation in Bollywood.
“We are immensely grateful to the entire unit for trusting us to keep them safe. We feel blessed that we had the right energy on the sets at all times which is honestly the reason why everything came together so beautifully,” adds Jackky Bhagnani
Vaani Kapoor says, "This was easily among the smoothest productions that I have been a part of. I was concerned about how it was going to play out, given the fear and health concerns but I must thank and congratulate Pooja Entertainment for the fantastic planning and the attention to detail. I hope this gives encouragement and confidence to other people back home to shoot.”
Producer Deepshikha Deshmukh has only sentiment to share - gratitude. "I am really grateful that we could complete the shoot. The health and safety of every one were of utmost importance and we ensured that everything was in order. It was an extremely humbling and grateful experience when all the dadas from various departments would come up to you and thank you for bringing them back to work. This couldn't have been possible without Akshay sir and Dad. All credit goes to them."
For the captain of the ship, director Ranjit M Tewari, Bellbottom has been an experience he would like to savor a little longer. “I’ve been blessed with a great cast and crew! Akshay sir, Vashuji, Vaani, Lara, Jackky, and every technician has worked tirelessly to support the film. It was great teamwork.”
Pooja Entertainment presents in association with Emmay Entertainment Bellbottom Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Nikkhil Advani. 'Bellbottom' written by Aseem Arrora & Parveez Shaikh is set to release on 2nd April 2021.

Farhan Akhtar, Richa Chadha among others condemn officials for cremating Hathras rape victim without family’s permission
Bollywood celebrities have condemned that the family of Hathras rape victim was allegedly not given the authority to perform the last rites of their daughter. In the videos that were being circulated online, around 2:30 am, the victim’s body was brought to the village. The officials were seen urging the family to perform the last rites immediately.
“It appears that my sister has been cremated; the police are not telling us anything. We begged them to let us bring her body inside the house one last time, but they didn’t listen to us,” the 19-year-old girl’s brother told The Indian Express at 3.30 am Wednesday.
“The culprits of Hathras incident against the girl will not be let go. An SIT has been formed to investigate the matter and it will submit a report within seven days. To ensure early justice, the case will be run in a fast track court,” Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath tweeted on Wednesday.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to me over Hathras incident, he said that strictest of action be taken against the culprits,” Yogi added.
As per the reports, Home Secretary Bhagwan Swaroop will head the SIT, and UP Police DIG Chandraprakash and Agra PAC Commandant Poonam will be amongst the members.
Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, Preity Zinta, Richa Chadha, Nimrat Kaur among others have condemned that the family was not given the authority to perform the final rites.
#Hathras will forever remain a blemish on the fabric of this nation. Shame on all those who shield people who commit such crimes and all those who cover it up. To deny an already broken & grieving family their daughters last rites is barbaric. Humanity is dead.

#JusticeForManishaValmiki the biggest crime in this country is to be born poor, to be born in a caste system that’s is still not abolished, in fact exploited further to gain votes, to be born in a country where politics has used my religion, feeling ashamed, helpless Oh God!
— Rakeysh Mehra (@RakeyshOmMehra) September 30, 2020
I sincerely hope our govt takes concrete steps in bringing reforms to our judicial system????so crimes against women & children are dealt swiftly & appropriately as they’r the most vulnerable in society. It’s the only way forward. Going to bed with a heavy heart. Goodnight folks.
— Preity G Zinta (@realpreityzinta) September 30, 2020
The #Hathras perpetrators should be treated the same way they treated that poor girl. These demons cannot be treated like humans. Justice delayed is justice denied. My heart goes out to her family. Imagine their pain ? No goodbye, No closure ???????? #RIP #HathrasHorrorShocksIndia

We hate women.We don’t allow them to be born, if they do manage to live,it’s a battle to live with dignity.We hate women as little girls,we hate them as movie stars.Comments under this tweet will prove how much we hate women.

So apparently the extent of the atrocity can go beyond what’s already unthinkable. The family’s deprived of a respectable farewell to their little girl. Easily one of the darkest moments we’ve witnessed as a country. #Hathras #JusticeForManishaValmiki

Shocking!! When will this disgusting mindset change!! The rapists must be hanged publicly and there must be capital punishment for such crimes in India. #HatrasCase

Disgusting. What happened here is disgusting. These men are disgusting and I hope they pay the heaviest price possible for taking away the right to mourn from thie family. If our authorities and leadership do not take action, we have ZERO right to call ourselves a democracy. https://t.co/B8RY5HwjgU

"I’m brown and extremely happy about it” – says Suhana Khan in a post revealing she was called ‘ugly’ since age 12
Suhana Khan, daughter of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and entrepreneur Gauri Khan, has taken to Instagram to highlight an important message on the obsession with fair skin. She revealed that because of her skin colour, she was called ugly since the age of 12.
In her Instagram post, Suhana wrote, “There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full-grown men and women, since I was 12 years old.”
“Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all Indian, which automatically makes us brown - yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure,” she further wrote.
She said, “I’m sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you, that if you’re not 5”7 and fair you’re not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I’m 5”3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism.”

Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: No signs of murder so far, confirms CFSL scientist
The death case of Sushant Singh Rajput is still being investigated and the autopsy and viscera reports are being re-examined by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences along with the Central Forensic Science Laboratory. The Central Bureau of Investigations’ team had also recreated the scene from June 14 in Sushant Singh Rajput’s Bandra apartment where he was found dead on June 14. So far the team has not seen any evidence of a foul play with the reports.
If the reports are to be believed, then the scientist from CFSL who has been in on the case has said that there are no signs of murder so far. The ligature marks on the neck suggest that he died by hanging, a V-shaped mark has been seen on autopsy photos of the late actor’s neck left by the noose on the body by being suspended from a point above. The scientist also said that he has visited Sushant’s house twice and there are no signs of murder as of now.
Clearing the doubts of the space being insufficient for his body to hang, the scientist said that it was enough for the body to hang and so far, no such compelling evidence has been recovered to prove in the court that it was a murder.

EXCLUSIVE: Meet Bigg Boss 14’s contestant and singer Kumar Sanu's son, Jaan Kumar Sanu
For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, a contestant was introduced virtually almost two weeks before the grand premiere. Since the show is known to be one of the biggest reality shows of all time, the viewers are always excited to know what they will get to see in this season. During the press conference, Salman Khan gave a virtual tour of the new Bigg Boss house facilitated with all the amenities that we couldn’t put to use this year due to the lockdown. From a spa to a restaurant to a mall and a theatre, the house will have all the amenities all the while maintaining social distancing.
Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, the first contestant of Bigg Boss 14, Jaan Kumar Sanu opened up about his experience of being introduced as the first contestant of the house. When asked about how reluctant he was to say yes to Bigg Boss 14, he said, “Not at all, actually. I have had my apprehensions regarding the show itself but not regarding the COVID-19 situation because the channel has taken care of it in a great manner. They take care of the quarantine, social distancing, and the COVID-19 test, so on that front, I’m not really apprehensive at all. But, the fighting, the controversy, and stuff like that did make me apprehensive.”
Speaking of his initial reaction of being offered the show, Jaan Kumar Sanu said, “I was surprised because I’ve been watching the show for a very long time and I’ve been a fan of the show since the first season. Being a part of the show as a contestant was a little overwhelming and amazing, we discussed it with the family and decided to take up the offer.”
Being the first contestant to be introduced days before the grand premiere has its own perks, Jaan Kumar Sanu got to take a few tips and advice from Sidharth Shukla who won Bigg Boss 13. Speaking of his experience of being introduced as the first contestant, he said, “It was surreal actually, because never in the history of Bigg Boss have they disclosed the contestant before the grand premiere. So, being the first in anything sounds great for all the right reasons. I was ecstatic for being given such a grand introduction and post that I met Salman sir and I got to meet Sidharth. It was really, really amazing.”
Meeting Salman Khan and Sidharth Shukla for the first time, Jaan Kumar Sanu said, “I was actually stupefied when I met Salman sir, I couldn’t get myself to talk for a while. I was nervous and was shivering. I have been a very big fan of Salman sir for a very, very long time. My father has sung a lot of amazing songs for Salman sir but I have never had the opportunity to meet him and this was my first meeting with Salman sir. He is just an overwhelming personality and even his presence on screen was a sight to behold and I was completely in awe of Salman sir because he is such a huge star and an amazing actor. The way he greeted me made me feel so special and I felt really lucky and blessed since I have been trying to meet him for such a long time. Via Bigg Boss I got this opportunity to meet him one-on-one and it was amazing, exciting, and scary because it is Salman Khan we’re talking about! You are bound to get star struck and that is exactly what happened to me.”
Elaborating further on meeting Sidharth Shukla, he said, “I was amazed and very happy to meet Sidharth Shukla actually because I am a very big fan of Sidharth and to get my opening guidance and tips from him – it was a big thing. He gave me some amazing tips and he is very cordial. It was a fun conversation that we had and it was one of the high points of my Bigg Boss journey I’d say.”
We further asked Jaan Kumar Sanu about his strategies before he entered the house and he said, “It’s actually not a strategy that I will be keeping in my mind, it’s actually a part of my personality which Sidharth showed last season and that was just to be yourself. I think being myself is the best bet in the game; you know, Sidharth showed everybody that you don’t have to be double-faced or be involved in gossiping and backbiting. The show can be won on your own merit and without help. That’s the one thing that I love about Sidharth is that he is unapologetically himself whether or not people were standing with him; even his friends stood against him a lot of times but he never diverted himself from what he thought was right and this is something that I personally relate to so I think I’m going to be myself through the show and I’m not going to change.”
Jaan Kumar Sanu happens to be the son of one of the finest singers, Kumar Sanu, so we asked him if he wanted to continue as a singer or expand his horizons and venture into acting. He said, “Honestly, I’ve given my life and soul to music. The only thing that I’ve known is singing; the only thing that I find peace in is singing and the only thing that I want to do in life is sing, so I would like to take my singing much, much ahead and I’m hoping that I will get a lot of good opportunities after Bigg Boss 14 and I’m hoping for a lot of beautiful work.”
With the COVID-19 situation still prevailing, maintaining personal precautions has got to be one of the key highlights for the Bigg Boss 14 contestants. Apart from the precautions that the channel is maintaining, Jaan Kumar Sanu said, “I’m going to be drinking a lot of hot water like I generally do. I’m going to keep fit and try working out every day. I’m going to maintain social distancing and maintain my own hygiene because I have a serious OCD so this time it’s going to be good since the house will be kept clean and it is going to make me really happy. These are the few things that I’m going to be doing.”
How excited are you to see Jaan Kumar Sanu as a contestant on Bigg Boss 14? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.

BTS Week continues with vibrant 'HOME' performance on The Tonight Show; John Cena applauds the group and ARMY
Earlier this week, BTS Week kicked off on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with two stunning performances. The second day consisted of a vibrant set whilst bringing back the 'Home' track from their April 2019 EP 'Map Of The Soul: Persona'.
"The performance was pre-recorded in Seoul and the set gave homely and cozy feels. Dressed in pyjamas, shorts and comfy clothing, the seven members of BTS - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook - were crooning the beautiful song while showcasing their vocals. The whole performance looked like the music video the fans deserved it. The song narrates the story of the septet who call ARMY their home and turn to in any circumstance. The sentiment reflects in the lyrics - 'That place is probably Mi Casa / With you I'mma feel rich (yeah) / That place is no other than Mi Casa / Turn it on, your switch (switch) Yeah'."
"How they conduct themselves as human beings and the message they send to the world. Man, that’s something special," he added. "I don’t care how you feel about them, I don’t care if you don’t get it, it’s music, you can like what you like, but how they conduct themselves as human beings and the message they send out to the world? Man, that’s something special."
John Cena further spoke about how BTS donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter and how their fandom BTS ARMY matched the group's donation within 24 hours. "They've developed this global ARMY that's not just geeked-out fans.
BTS donated $1M to Black Lives Matter and the ARMY was like 'if they can do it, we can do it.' As an artist, if we can resonate through the TV to you at home to give to a cause...that's WORK...that's PURPOSE."
The group has announced their next studio album titled 'BE (Deluxe Edition)'. Taking to their official platform called Weverse, the statement read, "'BE (Deluxe Edition)' contains the most 'BTS-esque' music yet. The latest story from BTS begins by declaring that 'even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on' and imparts a message of healing to fans and to the world."
'BE (Deluxe Edition)' will drop on Friday, November 20 at 2 pm KST (10:30 am IST).

NCB to summon the Bollywood Heroes next
For those who have been wondering why only the women in the film industry are being summoned for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau, there is encouraging news. We have it from an extremely reliable source that the male actors would soon be summoned for questioning.
Sources say the only reason why the ladies of Bollywood were summoned first was because of the WhatsApp chats which gave them away. “It’s not a gender-thing at all; it’s just a question of who fell into the net first. The men were a bit more difficult to identify. But now they’ve zeroed in on the male stars as well,” an informed source reveals.
While the list of male actors to be questioned by the NCB is yet to be finalized, one hears of some names like this A-list superstar from an illustrious film family who has spoken of his tryst with drugs in old press interviews, and a new-age star who gained stardom after a patriotic movie, being on top of the male list.
Watch this space for more on the guys getting summoned by the NCB.

Officials say that the NCB has ‘almost’ given a clean chit to Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Karishma Prakash
Recently, Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor along with Karishma Prakash were called for questioning at the Narcotics Control Bureau for questioning regarding the drugs probe that was brought to light during the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. As per the reports, the agency has been thoroughly investigating the matter at hand and has already arrested Rhea Chakraborty for procuring drugs like marijuana. After grilling the actresses for several hours, the WhatsApp chats from 2017 between Deepika Padukone and her manager Karishma Prakash revealed discussions between hash, weed, doob.
However, if the reports are to be believed then the officials have said that Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and Karishma Prakash have ‘almost received a clean chit from the Narcotics Control Bureau. Deepika and Karishma were questioned at the same time with the same set of questions in different rooms where they revealed that they used these terms to describe cigarettes ‘for fun’. As per their statements low-quality cigarettes were referred to as ‘maal’, slim and better ones as ‘hash’ and ‘weed’ while the thick ones were referred to as ‘doob’ for fun. The officials have said that both of them have corroborated the codes and they were satisfied.
Since the chats were from 2017, it was assumed after reading these codes that they were discussing drugs.
