Gumraah released this Friday and did whatever it had to. However, we hear that it wasn’t a smooth journey for lead actor Aditya Roy Kapur. Apparently, the actor had to kick up a fuss to receive his dues for the film. Sources claim that a few weeks ago, producer Murad Khetani kept dilly-dallying when Aditya asked for his pending remuneration. Not pleased about being taken for granted, the actor is said to have conveyed his displeasure to Bhushan Kumar, whose company T-Series acquired the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit, Thadam. Understanding and addressing his lead actor’s predicament, Kumar ensured that finances were cleared just a few weeks before the release, so Aditya wasn’t inconvenienced any further.

Ravi is said to play the role of an NRI, originally played by Silambarasan, who is on his way to help a friend elope with his girlfriend, while Varun steps into SJ Surya’s shoes to play a cop in this time loop narrative that is yet-untitled.

A disappointing exit

Reports that south superstar Ajith Kumar’s next, tentatively titled AK 62, will now be directed by Magizh Thirumeni, are now confirmed. Vignesh Shivan, who was initially roped in to direct the movie, recently confirmed his exit as the producers were unimpressed with the second half of the script. Explaining his descision, Vignesh reportedly said, “AK62 is a disappointment for me. There is no mistake from Ajith Kumar’s side. Production is not happy with the second half. I am glad that the opportunity went to someone like Magizh Thirumeni.”

Pushpa’s new avatar! 

Pushpa’s new avatar! 

Allu Arjun turns a year wiser today, but the celebrations began a few days in advance. Recently, his 2007 superhit Desamuduru was re-released in 4K version. Over the weekend, the makers of the pan-India blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise kickstarted the campaign for the sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule. While the teaser revolving around ‘Where is Pushpa?’ triggered curiosity around the sequel, directed by Sukumar, it was the film’s poster that became a talking point on social media. The first look features the stylish superstar in a never-seen-before avatar—clad in a saree, sporting bangles, all dolled up with a gun in his hand. So much so that netizens wondered if Arjun had actually posed in a female attire or the poster was created using some AI (artificial intelligence) bot.

Bebo’s different takes

Bebo’s different takes

Calling herself a risk-taker, Kareena Kapoor Khan said her tendency to try different things has reflected in her film choices. “That’s the reason behind me doing off-beat films like Omkara, Yuva, or Chameli,” she says. Despite belonging to the first film dynasty of India— the Kapoor clan—she says being a star was never on her mind. “I thought that being an exceptional actor, it may happen or it might not happen. But, to try and give my 100 per cent to the part that I essay is not just my duty but also the responsibility that comes with the privilege. I was 21 years old when I played Chameli at a time when nobody was doing films like that. Today, I’m 42 and people still talk about that film. It built a perception of my work in the minds of the audience. So, I have always had a good mix of commercial mainstream and off-beat cinema, and I would like to keep it that way.”
