Though Tamannaah is a star actress down in the South, she didn’t have a fruitful career in Bollywood. None of her Hindi films had become a major box office success. Now, she has signed another film in the North called Bole Chudiyaan. It features versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddique as the lead hero.

Nawaz’s brother Shamas Nawab Siddique will be helming the film. The shoot of this film has commenced today. Tamannaah is expected to join the sets soon. Initially, the makers have signed up Mouni Roy as the heroine but she walked away from the project and Tamannaah has replaced her.

Bole Chudiyaan features Kabir Duhan Singh in the villain role. Popular director Anurag Kashyap will be seen in a guest role. The film is being produced by Rajesh Bhatia and Kiren Zaveri Bhatia. Tamannaah’s last film was Khamoshi, which was a box office disaster. Let’s see if she scores a success with this one.

Sensational filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is currently very much busy working on his next film. Tipped to be a sports drama, Anurag is going to produce the movie. The makers confirmed Saand Ki Aankh as the title of the movie. Initially, the film was titled as Womaniya but as Pritish Nandy registered the title beforehand, Anurag had to get into a legal tussle with him to solve the issue.

Now, Anurag has confirmed the new title for the movie and posted the same on Twitter.

Anurag Kashyap tweeted, “So we have decided to not pay the extortion sum of 1 crore to Pritish Nandy. He can sit on the title and warm it and hope for it to hatch into something worthwhile for his company for once,” adding, “while we go ahead with what (the makers) want the film to be..”Saand Ki Aankh”. I am sorry that I had faith in Mr. Nandy.”

The regular shoot of the film is currently in progress and the movie is based on the lives of octogenarian sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, popularly known as the ‘Revolver Dadis’ of Johri, Uttar Pradesh. The film is directed by a debutant Tushar Hiranandani.

Lust Stories – a new Netflix short movie is directed by Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar together. The short story is all about women, mindsets, society’s view, and the sexual desires of women.

Kiara Advani, who entered into movies alongside Mahesh Babu in Bharath Ane Nenu catches everyone’s attention. Lust Stories star Radhika Apte, Neha Dhupia, Bhumi Pednekar, Akash Thosar, Sumukhi Suresh, Manisha Koirala, Vicky Kaushal, Neil Bhoopalam, Neha Dhupia and Sanjay Kapoor. Kiara steals the show as she has been a part of bold scenes in the movie. Kiara Advani has played a woman who gets married but is not sexually happy. All the scenes featuring Kiara are a little bold and her acting is being the center of focus. Kiara is to act opposite Mega Power Star Ram Charan next.

Well, it sure looks like all is well between the couple.

Bollywood film-maker Anurag Kashyap and actress Kalki Koechlin, who announced separation after two years of being married last year in November, were seen at the special screening of ‘The World Before her’ in Mumbai on Saturday.

Anurag, who married Kalki Koechlin in 2011, had earlier said that they were not contemplating a divorce.

Kalki Koechlin looked pretty in a black wrinkled cotton skirt that she teamed with a gold-black brocade blouse. She looked quite at ease with Anurag.

The couple did not shy away and posed happily before the screening.

In a recent interview Anurag had said, “ I and Kalki are separated. We are very good friends and we will stay very good friends… It is a simple healthy relationship.”

Anurag Kashyap had on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’ said that he had not given up on Kalki and she was the best thing that happened to him.

Kalki then said she was touched after watching the episode. “He was saying what he really felt. I found it very touching. Of course, I was moved by what he said. We have a relationship where we can talk to each other.”

Earlier, Anurag Kashyap was linked with his ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ actress Huma Qureshi, who was initially believed to be reason for their separation. However both Anurag and Kalki denied that reason.

The filmmaker is now believed to be dating his AD Sabrina Khan.

Kalki Koechlin, on the other hand,is rumoured to be dating Gulshan Devaiah, with whom she is working on another project.

Now that Anurag and Kalki have appeared together, we hope all’s well with them. Cheers to happiness!

Noted director Anurag Kahsyap’s daughter, Aaliya Kashyap is one of the many little girls who is a diehard fan of Ranbir Kapoor. The girl got lucky recently when she had the chance of finally meeting her on screen hero – at the sets of Bombay Velvet. Ranbir, who was delighted to know that Kashyap’s daughter likes him, interacted with the young girl and also posed for a picture.

Aaliyah is Anurag’s daughter from his first wife, Aarti Bajaj, with whom he got divorced in 2009. Another celeb kid who is crazy about Ranbir Kapoor is none other than Khushi, Boney Kapoor and Sridevi’s younger daughter. She also had the moment of her life on the sets of Barfi, when Ranbir interacted with her and her friends.

Looks like the RK mania is rampant among the young, the old and the babies!

The actor who is currently shooting for Bombay Velvet, is said to play yet another landmark role of his life in this movie. Ranbir fetched accolades for his versatility as an actor with films like Wake Up Sid, Rockstar, Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Looks like the handsome young man is slowly on his way to become a top league actor in the years to come.

Bombay Velvet is directed by Anurag Kahsyap and stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. Karan Johar who also wrote the screenplay along with Kashyap will be seen playing an important role with Raveena Tandon and Kay Kay Menon included. The movie which is actively filming now is planned to release by the end of this year.

Sometimes, even if an already seen story is told in a distinctive style, you would tend to say that the new one is a coincidence rather than a copy. Queen also has resemblance to two good films of 2012, but is unique is its own way.

Rani (Kangana Ranaut) is a simple homely girl in Delhi pursuing Home Science. Vijay (Raj Kummar Rao) is head over heels in love with her and she eventually falls to him. Vijay moves to London, but returns as a changed man who feels that the Salwar Kameez clad Rani doesn’t match to his status anymore. When the pre-wedding celebrations are in full swing, Vijay breaks the marriage.  Rani is broken and she decides to go to Paris to get some respite from the heart-break. Her experiences in the new found world and how she deals with the broken marriage forms the rest of the story.

The scenes in the first half of remind of Cocktail and you cannot stop relating the equation of Kangana-Lisa Haydon to Diana Penty – Deepika.  The plot is also similar. However, Vikas Bahl has written the role of Rani in a very raw and natural way which connects much better. The second half reminds us of another movie of 2012 again, and that’s English Vinglish.  We have the sweet international friends the protagonist finds in the new country. Here also, we have one gora hitting on her. However, again the writing of the role comes to the rescue making it different by the things taking a natural flow.

The first and foremost thing one would talk about once you exit the hall is Kangana’s performance.  She is phenomenal as Rani. The transformation from the naivety to wisdom is so gradual and subtle, and that requires great skill.  Rani’s resilience is inspiring for many women, to say the least.  Lisa Haydon gets a substantial role unlike Rascals which even had Kangana doing noting but wearing sleazy outfits. All these talented actors need is good roles, which they got through Queen. Raj Kummar Rao plays the self-flattering and the hypocrite so well that you even start hating him.

Some scenes are extremely well-written conveying a lot symbolically.  For example, at a coffee shop when Vijay tells Rani that he is going to break the marriage, she gets panicky and rubs her hands against the cell-phone. When she exits, he brushes the mehendi particles off from the table.  A handful of some more such impressive scenes made it more intriguing.

However, apart from the frequent resemblances to Cocktail and English Vinglish, the other drawback is the pace. The movie crawls at a pace of a tortoise, with hardly the story moving forward.  Amit Trivedi’s music and Bobby’s camera work are adequate.

Queen is a definitely a one-time watch for Kangana’s performance and a must watch for women to get inspired from Rani’s resilience.
