The Fatal Kiss: Jacqueline Fernadez’s peck gets her into trouble; she might seek Salman Khan’s help to bail her out of the situation

There are whispered insinuations and veiled smirks in the entertainment industry about the company that Jacqueline Fernandez keeps, after pictures of her cozying up with alleged extortionist Sukesh Chandrasekhar surfaced online.

The Fatal Kiss: Jacqueline Fernadez’s peck gets her into trouble; she might seek Salman Khan’s help to bail her out of the situation

Typically, the actress denied knowing the incarcerated wheeler-dealer. And then clammed up, hoping that the troubles would vanish like a bad dream. But with pictorial evidence carpeting the internet, Ms. Fernandez faces the stickiest situation in her career so far.

A well-known director who knows her well says Jacqueline wasn’t aware of Chandrashekhar's business activities, “He showered her with attention and expensive gifts. She fell for it. She probably didn’t check his identity. Which is as bad as Shilpa Shetty claiming she didn’t know what her husband was up to. If you’re dating/marrying someone you can’t be blind to what he does,” says the director.

Years ago Raj Kapoor’s discovery Mandakini of Ram Teri Ganga Maili fame was caught in highly dubious company. It killed her career. Nothing as drastic is likely to happen to Jacqueline’s career.

A co-star of the actress tells me she will seek the help of her mentor-guide Salman Khan to bail her out of the situation. This likelihood apart the next few weeks won’t be easy on Ms. Fernandez. She has a lot of answering to do. And she may not have the answers that the government agencies are looking for.

The Professor has been captured by Sierra and, for the first time, doesn’t have an escape plan. Just when it seems like nothing else could go wrong, an enemy comes on the scene that is much more powerful than any they’ve faced: the army. The end of the greatest heist in history is approaching, and what began as a robbery will turn into a war. Part 5 of the iconic series will be released in two volumes, on September 3 and December 3, 2021.

Salman Khan opens up on how it feels with Antim going houseful

Post the second lockdown the Akshay Kumar film Sooryavanshi was the first to hit screens. Despite the risks being high, the film did rather well at the box office. A couple of weeks on, and the Salman Khan – Aayush Sharma film Antim: The Final Truth has hit screens to an appreciative response from critics and fans. Following the film’s good opening, Salman Khan was interacting with the media to celebrate the success of Antim. During the interaction, Salman spoke about how easy it has become to attain a houseful board thanks to the restricted occupancy due to Covid restrictions.

Talking about how he feels with Antim – The Final Truth going houseful Salman Khan added, “It is a good feeling, I think the first time a Houseful board was put up it was for Wanted. And since then there has always been a Houseful board for my films. It feels good when you hear people say, 'hum gaye ticket lene, par yaar houseful tha'. I am very fortunate that at such a time as well, my film has featured a houseful board.”

Further talking about how easy it has become now for films to go houseful, the actor continued, “In case it was full seating capacity, and despite that there was a houseful board, then it would that much more better. But now with 50% capacity, it has become slightly easier to achieve a houseful board, at least that’s what I think”. Salman was more than clear to pinpoint that his releases have been enjoying the houseful tag even before the lockdown and pandemic.

Gucci family issues duming statement over the portrayal of Aldo Gucci in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci

The heirs of Aldo Gucci have issued a statement saying they are “a bit disconcerted” about what they claim is their inaccurate portrayal in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci film.

Gucci family issues duming statement over the portrayal of Aldo Gucci in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci

According to Variety, the statement said, “The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci, president of the company for 30 years [played by Al Pacino in the film], and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.”

It added that the picture attributes “a tone and an attitude to the protagonists of the well-known events that never belonged to them. This is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today.”

The statement was first published by Italian news agency ANSA, goes on to blast how Milanese socialite Patrizia Reggiani (played by Lady Gaga in the film), who was convicted in 1998 of facilitating the murder of Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), “is portrayed not just in the film, but also in statements from cast members, as a victim trying to survive in a male and male chauvinist corporate culture. This couldn’t be further from the truth,” the statement read as during the 70-year time span when the Gucci company was a family business, it was “an inclusive company,” it claimed.

The statement noted that during the 1980s when the film is set, there were several women who held top positions such as the president of Gucci America, the head of Global PR and communications etc.,- whether they were family members or not.

The statement concluded, “Gucci is a family that lives honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to stage a spectacle that is untrue and which does not do justice to its protagonists,” adding that “the members of the Gucci family reserve the right to take action to protect the name, image and dignity of themselves and their loved ones.”

The full statement, translated from the Italian, is below:

“The Gucci family takes note of the release of the film “House of Gucci” and is a bit disconcerted because, although the work claims to want to tell the “true story” of the family, the fears raised by the trailers and interviews released so far, are confirmed: the film carries a narrative that is far from accurate.

The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci – president of the company for 30 years – and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them, attributing to the protagonists, events, a tone and an attitude that never belonged to them. This is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today.

Even more objectionable is the reconstruction that becomes mystifying almost to the point of paradox when gets to the point of suggesting an indulgent tone towards a woman who, definitively convicted of having been the instigator of the murder of Maurizio Gucci, is painted not only in the film, but also in the statements made by cast members, as a victim who was trying to survive in a masculine and macho corporate culture.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Moreover, over the course of it 70-year history during which it was a family business, Gucci was an inclusive company. Indeed, precisely in the 1980s – the historical context in which the film is set – women were in several top positions: whether they were members of the family or extraneous to it, these included the president of Gucci America, the Head of Global PR & Communication, and a member of the board of directors of Gucci America.

Gucci is a family that lives honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to stage a film that is not true and that does not do justice to its protagonists. The members of the Gucci family reserves every right to protect the name, image and the dignity of their loved ones.”

Despite the tone of the statement, no legal action is being taken at this time by the Gucci family against Scott’s Scott Free shingle and Universal, according to reports.

House of Gucci was released in India on 26 November 2021.

Taapsee Pannu reveals she chemically straightened her hair twice when she was in school

Taapsee Pannu has been a part of the Indian film industry for over a decade. Apart from her powerful performance onscreen, the actress is also known for speaking her heart out in various topics.

Taapsee Pannu reveals she chemically straightened her hair twice when she was in school

Taapsee Pannu who has thick curly hair recently spoke about being insecure of her unconventional looks and even underwent a chemical treatment to straighten her curly hair. Talking to Cosmopolitan magazine, Taapsee said that she found herself different from the actors she saw on her television screen. "I didn't have those big ‘doe eyes’; I didn't have an elegant, small nose. I had this large, ‘royal nose’, as people call it. I didn't have luscious lips or straight, silky hair," she said.

Taapsee said that she noticed that none of the actresses on television had curly hair like her. “While I was still in school, I visited a salon to get my hair chemically straightened—twice—using those terrible chemical treatments that were available at the time," she said, adding that they completely ruined her hair. She said that she was frustrated to have limp ends with curly bits growing in the top and was later horrified when her hair began to fall.

On the work front, Taapsee has had three releases this year, all on OTT platforms- Haseen Dillruba, Annnabelle Sethupathi and Rashmi Rocket.

She has Looop Lapeta, Dobaaraa, Shabaash Mithu, Blurr, and Mishan Impossible in the pipeline. She is currently shooting for Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? with Pratik Gandhi.

Salman Khan reveals he played his character differently to not suppress Aayush Sharma's character

Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma starrer Antim: The Final Truth got a worldwide release this Friday on 26th November 2021. Helmed by Mahesh Manjrekar the film has been receiving quite an overwhelming responses at the box office. While at the same time, it has managed to impress the critics as well.

 

Post the success of his film, Salman Khan was in conversation with the media where talked about playing the character of a Sikh cop. In the film, Salman plays the character of a Sikh cop which is quite different from the cops he'd played in the past.

When asked Salman if he got nervous about playing his role in the film he said, “I knew in my head what I wanted to do with the character. I wanted to play it exactly how it was narrated to me. Mahesh also had the same thought. But when I started playing the character, I got scared, I’m not doing anything. But then I drew confidence from the fact that Aayush was playing his character in the way that I thought I should play mine. And if I would play my character that way too, then his character would have got suppressed."

He added, "Both of us could not have played our characters the same way. Aayush plays a powerful man but he has got that anger in him. While my character in the film sports a smile. Even if he’d exercise his authority, he’d do it with a smile. So he knows his power. Even when he is having a conversation with the politicians, he will still have a smile on his face. That is the way I portrayed my character. It was good fun."

The actor was also asked if he'd add some inputs from his end to character. Responding to it, he says "Mahesh and I, both had our inputs. I am playing an inspector and a Sardar in the movie. So I needed to be careful about my role. Be it any community or culture, I have to be careful about playing the respective role. You’ve got to respect the community and glorify them in the right manner. I’ve done that in all my films.”

Further Salman also revealed hurting himself with the Kada (Thick Bangle) he wore in the movie. The actor said, “While trying to shoot for the scenes, that Kada hurts so much that your hands start hurting."
