We hear that Siddharth Anand has some words of caution for Tiger Shroff after the debacle of Ganapath. The director-actor duo will work on the Hindi version of Rambo

Siddharth Anand and Tiger Shroff


Up your action

The box-office performance of Tiger Shroff's Ganapath wasn't entirely unexpected, though some fraternity folks have taken serious note of it. While the actor and the dystopian actioner's director Vikas Bahl are shocked by its meagre collections, we hear that Siddharth Anand has some words of caution for Tiger. The Pathaan director had long announced teaming up with Tiger for a desi version of Rambo, which will reportedly go on floors next year. Rumour has it that considering the way Ganapath was panned, Sid suggested that Tiger rework his strategy of dominating as an action star. Sources claim that the filmmaker feels more such criticism and commercial debacles will hamper their take on Sylvester Stallone's action thriller franchise. Having seen Baaghi 2 and Baaghi 3, which looked like redux of a couple of Rambo flicks, wonder which instalment of the Sly-starrer are Sid and Tiger planning to make now.

Lots to sing and dance about

Katrina Kaif is upbeat with the response Leke Prabhu Ka Naam, her song with Salman Khan in Tiger 3 has garnered. "Dancing for me is one of my true passions and seeing the audience's love is pure joy," she says about the party number composed by Pritam for Maneesh Sharma's directorial venture. Sharing that such encouraging reactions keep her going as an artiste, Kat says, "A film, an acting performance, a song they all have to connect to our audiences for it to be called a success and I'm grateful that I've found that throughout my career. I'm aware of the expectations people have from our songs and it fuels me to deliver a better performance every time."

Money matters

Sunny Deol is said to be making the most of his newfound success. Though he is said to have got about R11 crore for Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, he is reportedly taking home a cheque of R50 crore for Border 2. Apparently, he is quoting a similar fee to play Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. He is excited about the mythological drama and doesn't want to shoot another film at the same time. Sources claim Sunny is also getting offered R75 crore for another actioner produced by a south filmmaker. That's what we call making hay while Sunny shines.

Ready to thrill

Nawazuddin Siddiqui began filming a new thriller with director Sejal Shah in Mumbai yesterday. Scripted by National Award-winning writer Bhavesh Mandalia and produced by Vinod Bhanushali, the yet-untitled film is set in the 1990s. Ecstatic to team up with Sejal after Serious Men, Nawaz promised, "This film is going to be a rollercoaster of emotions and a memorable journey for both, the team and the audience."

Jackie's special gift for Ghai

On the occasion of his production house, Mukta Arts, turning 45 on Wednesday, Subhash Ghai had an impromptu celebration at his home. Frequent collaborators Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, and Madhuri Dixit-Nene joined the revelry. Jackie, who was launched as a leading man in Ghai's Hero (1983), had a special gift for his mentor - a medal that bore the insignia of Ghai's company. Sharing pictures of the present, the filmmaker wrote, "Thank you Jackie for this gold medal specially designed for Mukta Arts on its 45th anniversary. We are overwhelmed by your love and gratitude, both in spirit and in action. We are always proud of you as an evergreen star and a great human being."
