दिल बेचारा की शूटिंग के दौरान सुशांत सिंह राजपूत पर लगे थे मीटू के आरोप, संजना सांघी ने अब दी सफाई, बोलीं- हम अपना-अपना सच जानते थे July 21, 2020 at 08:37PM

सुशांत सिंह राजपूत के सुसाइड ने फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में कोहराम मचा दिया। उनकी मौत कई अनसुलझे सवाल छोड़ गई जिसके जवाब अब तक नहीं मिल सके हैं। इसी बीच सुशांत की आखिरी फिल्म दिल बेचारा 24 जुलाई को ओटीटी प्लेटफॉर्म पर रिलीज हो रही है।

मेकिंग के दौरान यह फिल्म भी कम विवादों में नहीं रही थी। जब शूटिंग चल रही थी तो कई खबरें सामने आईं कि लीड एक्ट्रेस संजना सांघी ने सुशांत सिंह राजपूत और डायरेक्टर मुकेश छाबड़ा पर मीटू मूवमेंट के तहत बदसलूकी और सेक्सुअल हैरेसमेंट के आरोप लगाए।

संजना ने बाद में इन खबरों का खंडन करते हुए सुशांत और मुकेश को क्लीनचिट दे दी थी। फिल्म रिलीज के मौके पर उन्होंने एक इंटरव्यू में इस मुद्दे पर खुलकर बात की है और इस मामले पर सफाई भी दी है।

सुशांत के साथ मैं भी परेशान थी-संजना

संजना ने पिंकविला से बातचीत में कहा, सब यह सोचते हैं कि सुशांत ही इस बात से दुखी हुए थे लेकिन मैं भी बराबर परेशान थी। हम अपना-अपनासच जानते थे-सुशांत जानते थे कि वो मेरे लिए क्या मायने रखते थे और मैं जानती थी हमारी बॉन्डिंग कैसी थीऔर यही बात बेहद जरूरी भी थी। हम हर दिन शूटिंग कर रहे थे। जब एक-दो आर्टिकल सामने आए तो हमने इन्हें तवज्जो नहीं दी और इनपर ध्यान नहीं दिया। लेकिन जब हर तरफ यही खबरें चलने लगीं जो कि आधारहीन थी तो मुझे इन्हें लिखने वाले लोगों और इनपर विश्वास करने वालों के लिए कोई रिस्पेक्ट नहीं बचा।

हमारी बॉन्डिंग पर नहीं पड़ा कोई असर-संजना

संजना ने आगे कहा, इन सब बातों का सुशांत और मेरी बॉन्डिंग पर कोई असर नहीं पड़ा। हमारा इंटेंशन बस यही था कि लोगों को सच पर भरोसा कैसे दिलाएं?

सोचिए कैसा लगता होगा जब दो लोग जो एक-दूसरे का इतना सम्मान करते हैं, उन्हें इस तरह की बातों पर सफाई देनी पड़े? हम यही सोचते थे कि सच को साबित कैसे करें? तब सुशांत ने एक तरकीब निकाली और उन्होंने मेरी और उनकी बातचीत के स्क्रीनशॉट सोशल मीडिया पर शेयर करने की परमिशन मुझसे मांगी। मैंने कहा, बिलकुल ऐसा कीजिए, सुशांत बोले-हो सकता है इससे कुछ मदद मिल जाए। पर्सनल जानकारी को इस तरह सबके सामने लाना दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण था लेकिन इसके अलावा हमारे पास कोई रास्ता नहीं बचा था।

सुशांत ने हमारी बातचीत के स्क्रीनशॉट सोशल मीडिया पर शेयर कर उनपर लगे सेक्सुअल हैरेसमेंट के आरोपों को झुठलाने की कोशिश की लेकिन यह तरकीब भी काम नहीं आई।

संजना ने 2018 में भी दी थी सफाई

इसके बाद संजना ने 2018 में सोशल मीडिया पर एक पोस्ट लिखकर सफाई देते हुए कहा था,मैं यह बात साफ कर देना चाहती हूं कि मेरे साथ बदसलूकी और सेक्सुअल हैरेसमेंट जैसी कोई घटना नहीं हुई थी। इन सभी आधारहीन खबरों पर अब विराम लगाइए।

Sanjay Leela Bhansali introduces new actor opposite Alia Bhatt in Gangubai Kathiawadi July 21, 2020 at 06:57PM

Alia Bhatt’s romantic lead in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi is 29-year old Shantanu Maheshwari who makes his large-screen debut with this big break. Shantanu who is a trained dancer from Kolkata got his first major break in Mumbai on television in Dil Dosti Dance where he played the lead for two years. He has been seen in various other dance and reality shows as too a number of fictional series.

Sources say Bhansali saw Shantanu on a reality show and immediately saw star potential in him. Shantanu was called by Bhansali’s office and that’s how such a prestigious screen debut fell into the young entertainer’s lap.

The epic filmmaker intends to introduce Shantanu to the audience in a big way.

Earlier in Saawariya, Bhansali introduced Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. In Malaal which Bhansali produced, he introduced Meezaan Jaffrey and Sharmin Segal. And earlier in Black he introduced the stunning Ayesha Kapoor.

Deepika Padukone charges Rs. 20 cr to feature in the Prabhas starrer; becomes the highest paid actress July 21, 2020 at 06:54PM

It’s not been easy getting Deepika Padukone on board for the new Prabhas starrer to be produced by Priyanka Dutta. According to sources in the know, Deepika put up a “very strong resistance”. But the producers were keen to have her on board and they made her an offer she couldn’t resist.

“Apparently Deepika these days, asks for a remuneration on a par with what the leading man of a film gets. She rightly feels she has earned herself a place of gender equality in her profession,” a source in the know informs.

Though she couldn’t be given a fee to equal Prabhas (he is paid close to Rs. 50 crores) Deepika, according to sources, is being paid close to Rs. 20 crores which makes her the highest paid actress in the history of Indian cinema.

Interestingly the role of the female protagonist in the Prabhas starrer was not “all that substantial” to begin with. It is now being modified according to Deepika Padukone’s star status and remuneration.

RRR is a mix of history & fantasy, says the film's storywriter K. Vijayendra Prasad July 21, 2020 at 06:46PM

In S S Rajamouli’s RRR historical fact has been fused with fantasy-fiction. Revealing this, the film’s storywriter K. Vijayendra Prasad says, “It is a fact that the two heroes freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem who fought against the British Raj and Nizam of Hyderabad respectively, existed in history. But as far as we know they never met, never fought together against the British.”

From this point Vijayendra’s imagination took off. “What if the two heroes actually met and fought together against the common enemy? That’s where my imagination comes in.” Vijayendra will of course put a disclaimer about the liberties taken by the plot. “But I know I will still be judged harshly.”

In the meanwhile Vijayendra-scripted bio-pic of Jayalalita, Thaliavi has also shaped up well. Informs Vijayendra, “About thirty percent of the shooting remains. But I saw the rushes of what’s been shot. It’s shaped up beautifully. Kangana Ranaut is fabulous as Jayalalitha.”

Here’s why Hungama 2 director Priyadarshan is compelled to resume shoot by September July 21, 2020 at 06:31PM

Amid the lockdown and film schedules being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, shootings were halted since March in India. Now, months later, slowly the films are resuming filming adhering to the safety guidelines. Amid the pandemic, Hungama 2 director Priyadarshan is compelled to resume shooting by September 15 due to the child actors.

Hungama 2 stars Meezan Jafri, Pranitha Subhash, Shilpa Shetty, and Paresh Rawal. Besides them, the film has five child actors aged between eight to eleven. Since they have pivotal roles, it will become difficult to showcase the continuity in the storyline since they are growing in height. Speaking to a daily, Priyadarshan said that at this age the children grow rapidly. While the physical changes in the past four months won’t affect much, if the schedule gets delayed further, it will be difficult to retain the continuity in the film. They only have to shoot one song with the children.

The upcoming schedule will commence in Kullu and Manali with the cast and crew for 15 days. Keeping the safety protocols in check, the crew will be in quarantine before they commence the shoot. Ratan Jain, the producer of the film, confirmed they completed the shooting with the 18-month-old baby in March itself. The four children are only required to shoot for four days.

Produced by Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain, Chetan Jain and Armaan Ventures and directed by Priyadarshan, the comedy multi- starrer, Hungama 2 was earlier slated to release this year.

BREAKING: Ekta Kapoor buys distribution rights of Varun Dhawan - Sara Ali Khan's Coolie No. 1 for Rs 50 crore July 21, 2020 at 06:30PM

While several biggies have gone the direct-to-digital way, Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan’s upcoming comic entertainer, Coolie No. 1 has held back for a theatrical release. The David Dhawan directorial is hot in the film trade as the exhibitors anticipate it to set the cash registers ringing with the family audience coming on board in huge numbers. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that the makers of this comic caper have sold their theatrical distribution rights to Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Productions.

“It’s a fresh film with Varun, Sara and a huge ensemble with Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Javed Jaffery to name some. It has fetched approximately Rs 50 crore from Balaji for the distribution of the film in India. The deal was struck before the coronavirus pandemic and there lies a chance of renegotiating it, depending on the on-ground scenario closer to the film’s release,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that the film is targeting a January 1 release. “New year is the best time for comedy to arrive as people can get back to the cinema hall to experience a lot of laughter. It’s a typical David Dhawan comedy with colourful songs,” the source added.

Given the amount at which film has been sold at the moment, it would  break even for the distributors in India at approximately Rs. 110 crore, which in the pre-COVID era was an easy task, but now, it all depends on the cinema consumption pattern of the audience. However, the source avers, “The magic of cinema is here to stay and once we leave COVID back, the audience will return to the cinema in huge numbers, as watching a film is like an event for the people in India. Big screen experiences like Sooryavanshi, 83, Radhe, Coolie No. 1 will ensure that cinema is here to stay,” the source signed off.

Coolie No.1 is David Dhawan’s third film with son Varun after Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2, both which were successful at the box-office. It’s the official remake of Govida and Karisma Kapoor’s comedy by the same name.

Sanjana Sanghi reveals why she took time to respond to MeToo allegations made against Sushant Singh Rajput July 21, 2020 at 05:57PM

Actress Sanjana Sanghi has finally opened up about the MeToo allegations made against late actor Sushant Singh Rajput during the filming of Dil Bechara. The actress had taken some time before she went on Twitter to clarify the allegations and called it baseless.

Speaking to a tabloid recently, Sanjana Sanghi said that everyone thought only Sushant was troubled after the allegations but she was also very much troubled. She said that they knew the truth, she knew what he meant to her, and he knew that and that was important. They were shooting every day. She said that when one or two articles come out, one can't pay attention to the rumours.

She said that the articles were baseless and nothing changed between the two actors since there was nothing. She further said that imagine how it is for two stars, who adore each other, to sit back and wonder how to prove that all these allegations aren't true. He asked her whether to put out the chats between them. She told him to go ahead and he posted the screenshots. Sanjana said that people were still were not ready to believe. She said that even her clarification did not work.

When asked why it took her few days to clarify the allegations, she said that she shouldn't need to clarify anything since nothing had happened. She didn't want to perpetuate the culture of responding to every rumour posted about them. She said that Sushant was the greatest co-star she could have had and she had utmost love and respect for him, as he did for her.

Sanjana cited that if something would have happened, they would not have gone ahead with the Paris schedule and finished the film. She urged everyone to believe the truth.

Back in October 2018, many reports suggested that Sushant was accused of sexual misconduct by Sanjana. While the actor denied all the allegations, he also shared screenshots from the messages exchanged with his co-star and called the allegations just a smear campaign. "The last thing worth doing is to defend yourself of the fiction created by an agenda. People using this much required campaign for their personal agenda is too much to ignore. So here is the text conversation with Sanjana till the time I shot for the film. I let you decide," he wrote on Twitter.

He also shared their chat screenshots. “I feel sad to reveal personal information but it seems that there is no other way to state what actually happened, in the midst of this curated, well-timed, and agenda-driven smear campaign. From the first day of the shoot till the last day, this is what happened on the sets with Sanjana. Misconduct? Not at all. Agenda? You decide,” he had written in an Instagram post.

Taking to her twitter, she wrote, "On returning from a long trip to the US yesterday, I read several baseless and unfounded stories with respect to misconduct and misbehaviour on the sets of our film Kizie Aur Manny (earlier film title). I'd like to clarify that no such incident took place with me. Let's put an end to these conjectures."

Shekhar Suman reacts to séance expert claiming to have spoken to Sushant Singh Rajput's spirit July 20, 2020 at 07:21PM

The efforts to cash in on Sushant Singh Rajput’s posthumous popularity have now crossed all borders with paranormalist Steve Huff claiming to have “spoken” to Sushant. The video of Huff “talking” to the dead actor has gone viral all across the world, with Sushant’s fans sharply divided into believers and non-believers.

What we know for certain is that Sushant’s family is not happy about the way his memory is being kept alive. A source close to the family reveals, “Sushant’s father would like a closure to this very tragic chapter in his life. He has lost his only son and instead of helping him to get over the tragedy people are constantly reminding him of his immeasurable loss. It is cruel and it must stop.”

Waking Sushant up from the dead by ‘summoning’ him from the afterlife is not an idea that Sushant’s family relishes. Gimmicks such as these must stop.

Shekhar Suman, who is pressing for a CBI inquiry into Sushant’s death, feels the Steve Huff angle to be utterly dispensable. “Let’s stick to the normal and not go into the paranormal. Let’s go by the CBI for investigation and not Huff and puff about the paranormal. If talking to the dead was a solution we’d have no need of any investigating agencies in the world.”

Marathi actress Usha Jadhav flies to Spain to shoot a film July 20, 2020 at 07:03PM

In these tough times of the coronavirus and lockdowns, our own National award winning actress Usha Jadhav has flown to Spain to shoot a feature film a Spanish film La Nueva Normalidad directed by Alejandro Cortés.

Connecting from Fuentes de Ebro in Spain, Usha whose performance in the Marathi film Dhag won her a National award says she is shooting under a strict precautionary environment. “Masks are a must. We are following all the guidelines. The team follows various sorts of precautions like sanitization of everything multiple times which also includes camera and lenses with specific liquid spray. Everyone is provided with face masks and sanitizer on the set. No touching or hugging is allowed on the set and face mask is mandatory all the time. Dress department does the washing and cleaning of clothes every day. The entire cast and crew are strictly instructed to abide by the rules. The cases here are really low right now hence the team is allowed to start shootings with a minimum crew.”

Explaining why she had to do this film Usha says, “Alejandro Cortes directed two feature films which got awards at film festivals all over the world. He makes a storyboard first. Without a story board he doesn't shoot. I was happily surprised to receive the story board when I was still in Mumbai. Another good thing on this project is for the first time I am working with a female cinematographer. Our DOP is Vanessa Alami. Alejandro always works with her.”
