The cold war between them ignited after Dua Lipa’s recent concert in India, where she performed a mashup version of her song Levitating and Abhijeet’s Woh Ladki, which features Srk. Amid this, in a recent interview, Abhijeet Bhattacharya reignited the controversy by making bold statements about Shah Rukh, seemingly refusing to sing for King Khan in the near future.

What Did Abhijeet Bhattacharya Say About Shah Rukh Khan In His Recent Interview?

In a conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Abhijeet Bhattacharya stated that the Pathaan actor can now sing all his songs, as Shah Rukh Khan ultimately receives recognition for the hits, infusing them with his charm and emotions. During the interview, when the singer was...

Dua Lipa’s Mumbai concert has been all over the news in the past few days. She pulled off what the fans had been waiting for for a long time. During her performance of the song “Levitating,” the song was remixed with the hit Indian song “Wo Ladki Jo Sabse Alag Hai.” This mashup was one of the most trending ones in India for quite a while. Therefore, watching the iconic singer herself embrace the trend was quite a sight to behold.

Since then, fans have praised Dua Lipa and Shah Rukh Khan, the actor who initially performed in the Indian song. The song was in the movie Baadshah, where Srk played the titular role and pretended to be a blind man in the music. While King Khan has been getting his flowers,...

Hrithik Roshan is currently living the best of his romantic life. He’s dating actress and musician Saba Azad. But his girlfriend is currently unhappy because she lost a career because directors thought she wouldn’t need any work since she’s dating a superstar now! Scroll below for all the details!

Saba made her Bollywood debut in the 2008 film Dil Kabbadi. She rose to fame with her leading role in Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge (2011). She is also a famous Indie singer and created a music band, Madboy/Mink, with her ex-boyfriend, Imaad Shah, in 2012. If that’s not enough, Hrithik Roshan’s girlfriend has been featured in several commercials and is a renowned voiceover artist.

Unfortunately, Saba Azad received voiceover jobs around 2.5 years ago. And it isn...

Shah Rukh Khan's latest film, Jawan, has received massive attention and viewers lined up at theaters to watch it on its first release day. Shah Rukh Khan's fame as the "King Khan" and "Baadshah of Bollywood" has made him one of India's most popular actors, with a global recognition surpassing Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise. After a four-year hiatus, Shah Rukh Khan's career comeback with films like Pathaan and now Jawan has generated immense hype and anticipation among his fans, especially with his dual role in the film.

Indian films have always offered something new to audiences, although they mostly rely on film stars to gain a marketing advantage. For instance, films like Rrr have become instantly popular as a result of their predecessors, Bahubali: The Beginning and Bahubali 2: The Conclusion. However, that was in 2022, but this year is specially reserved for Shah Rukh Khan, as not one...

Film and TV actress Deepshikha Nagpal, who is currently seen in the show ‘Na Umra Ki Seema Ho’, has undergone a major surgery and has shared her experience of recovering from it and resuming work.

She said: “Recently I got sick from food poisoning due to which I had a very bad stomach ache so I consulted a doctor who asked me to get it checked because the pain was persistent, so I underwent sonography and discovered I had cysts in my stomach. The size of the cysts was comparable to that of a 10-week pregnancy. The doctor advised me to get the cysts removed because they were serious and could complicate and worsen my health if they were left untreated.”

“And since we had a major drama coming up in the show I was fully packed on my schedule so without informing anyone I completed my parts and waited...

Actor Pankaj Dheer says that it often happens with the actors in the industry that they are typecast and asked to do similar kinds of roles.

Pankaj, who has also worked in Hindi cinema such as ‘Sadak’, ‘Soldier’ and ‘Baadshah’, finds it upsetting to get pigeonholed but is willing to do his job and give his everything to the character.

“It’s sad that we often get typecast on doing a particular character and end up getting the same roles but as an actor I’m willing to do my job and give whatever my character demands,” said the father of actor Nikitin Dheer.

The 62-year-old actor also spoke about his new show ‘Ajooni’, which also stars Shoaib Ibrahim and Ayushi Khurana.

“So, whether it’s negative or positive, I’m happy to be working on a good script. And that’s what ‘Ajooni’ offered me: a strong character and a good script.

It’s that time of year again. While some directors annually share their favorite films of the year, Steven Soderbergh lists everything he consumed, media-wise.

How did Disney manage to land an Oscar-winning filmmaker like Barry Jenkins to direct a Lion King prequel? The idea was also a surprise to Jenkins, who admitted in a recent interview that he was skeptical of boarding a Disney “live-action” remake/prequel of an animated classic like The Lion King. But three key factors managed to make him […]

In his debut feature “Ohong Village”, director “Luke” Lim Lung Yin aims to give a voice to the voiceless by portraying a milieu of a remote fishing village in the times where the nature and the economy are about to ruin its prospects. From a description like this, it sounds a bit like a bog standard “social issues” type of festival cinema, but it is more unusual and meditative than that. Nevertheless, the film should have a healthy festival exposure after the premiere at Jeonju and official selection at Taipei. However, we obtained it through our Submit Your Film initiative.

“Ohong Village” is Screening at Five Flavours Asian Film Festival

Mumbai, Dec 1 (Ians) Bandish Bandits fame actress Shreya Chaudhry has shared her life mantra. She says it is the secret that keeps her going.

Shreya, who shot to fame with the musical web series earlier this year, says "Hakuna Matata" is the mantra that helps her sail through tough times. The popular Swahili phrase from East Africa translated to: "There are no troubles or worries."

"I believe life is like a maze. Often, life makes you go through multiple ups and downs and you keep feeling anxious about what's next. I follow one simple mantra in my life that interestingly I learnt from the Lion King -- 'Hakuna Matata', which means no worries," she said.

"I know everyone faces their own shares of problems, rejections and struggles but I believe it is important to move forward, work towards a goal, without worrying too much about the end result. It helps...

Yet another monstrously huge blockbuster may be heading straight to streaming. It has come to light that Godzilla Vs Kong is being eyed as a streaming release. The question is, where will the King of the Monsters duke it out with King Kong? Currently, it is between Netflix and HBO Max. Either way, it seems likely that movie lovers will be able to watch the two legendary beasts square off from the comfort of home sometime next year.

According to a new report, Netflix offered somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million for the streaming rights to Godzilla vs. Kong, which is a co-production between WarnerMedia and Legendary. This was probably appealing since Netflix isn't available in China. That means the studio could still do a theatrical release in the country which would bring in some box office on top of the hefty cash sum. Previous MonsterVerse entries have performed well financially in China.

After years spent on the shelf gathering dust, The New Mutants was finally released into theaters in August, a full 28 months after it was initially scheduled to hit the big screen. And given the X-Men spinoff’s tortured production that involved extensive reshoots and countless delays, it was almost fitting that it was sent out in the middle of a pandemic when most people were keeping a wide berth from their local multiplex.

Reviews weren’t particularly kind, with some labeling it the worst entry in the entire mutant franchise, and it finished up with a box office haul of just over $45 million. However, because of the year we’re having, that’s still good enough to make The New Mutants the fifteenth highest-grossing title of 2020 so far. To put things into perspective, the fifteenth biggest hit of 2019 was Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which raked in $491 million.

Of course, fans...

The first trailer for Regina King’s directorial debut and Oscar hopeful, “One Night in Miami,” has released its first trailer.

Taking place in Miami, Fla., on Feb. 25, 1964, the film is a fictional account of an evening with iconic Black figures Muhammad Ali (Eli Goree), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Sam Cooke and Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), as they gather to discuss civil rights and the cultural upheaval of the 1960s. Inspired by true events, the quartet of historical characters celebrate Ali’s latest boxing victory as the heavyweight champion of the world and discuss the civil rights movement led by Malcolm X at the time.

King’s historical drama debuted at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year, the first feature by a Black woman to ever premiere in the fest’s 77-year history. Amazon Studios bought the worldwide rights to “One Night in Miami” after a very competitive bidding war between multiple studios.

Leading off today’s news round-up, multi-hyphenate Mélanie Laurent is in pre-production on 2021’s WWII drama The Nightingale, starring both Fanning sisters, but Variety reports she will begin filming a project next week. The first French Amazon Prime original movie, The Mad Woman’s Ball, reunites Laurent with Breathe breakout Lou De Laâge and follows a woman in the 19th century who is institutionalized in the infamous Salpêtrière hospital in Paris when she tells her parents that she can hear the dead.

Coming off this year’s King of Staten Island, Judd Apatow will next (per the Netflix Twitter account) direct a feature about a group of actors and actresses stuck in a hotel during a pandemic while attempting to complete a film. It’s co-written by Pam Brady who’s had her hand in offbeat comedy ranging from Lady Dynamite to Hamlet 2.

French director David Moreau has been accused of sexual assault by a crew member on his movie “King,” which wrapped filming on Oct. 9. The female crew member, whose name has not been disclosed, filed a police complaint in Montpellier, in the south of France.

The news was first reported by Le Parisien newspaper and the filing of the police complaint was confirmed to Variety by the producer of “King,” a big-budget family movie which is produced by Maneki Films, Full House and Pathé. A preliminary investigation into the claim will soon be launched by Montpellier’s prosecutors, according to Le Parisien. The complaint alleges that the sexual assault took place on Sept. 12 and 13 in Sète, in the south of France, outside the “King” shoot and working hours.

Moreau’s representative has not responded to request for comment.

The film producer told Le Parisien that she came to the set as...

TollywoodThough many actors enter the industry to grab that ‘okka chance’ to become a hero, several have taken up whatever roles came their way to sustain themselves. Rajeswari ParasaFile PhotoColour Photo, a small budget movie which released recently on Aha, an Ott platform, has created a lot of buzz. Through this movie, actors Suhas and Chandini Chowdary have made their debut as lead actors. Suhas was earlier seen in web series on YouTube and his short film The Athidi grabbed a lot of attention from Tollywood actors, who showered him with praise. Suhas was also seen in supporting roles in movies such as Padi Padi Leche Manasu and Agent Sai Srinivas Athreya. Apart from Suhas, there are several actors in Tollywood who made their debut through supporting roles and later turned into lead characters in films. These actors previously played friends to the hero, hardcore villains, or even invisible junior artists.

The cinematic world was dealt a shock over the weekend when it was announced that Sean Connery had passed away at the age of 90. Over the course of his long career, Connery appeared in movies such as Marine, Murder On The Orient Express, The Man Who Would Be King, Highlander, The Untouchables, The Hunt For Red October, Dragonheart, and The Rock, not to mention playing James…...

“I’ll stand one day before the Queen, not kneel, mind you, but stand like an equal, and she’ll say ‘I’d like you to accept the Order of the Garter as a mark of my esteem, cousin,’” Sean Connery’s ex-British soldier Daniel Dravot proclaims in the 1975 period adventure film, The Man Who Would Be King. And with those words, and the epic death scene which followed, Connery completed the saga of a long-germinating work from one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors. John Huston was Hollywood royalty. His father, Walter, was an acting icon, and his offspring have all gone on to distinguish themselves as part of the Huston Dynasty.

Connery was of course no stranger to acting royalty himself. Eventually knighted in 2000, he also got to play King Agamemnon in Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits in 1981, King Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves...

If you're still suffering from fatigue of Disney's numerous live-action reboots, buckle up, because we're getting another one! On Tuesday, Sept. 29, Deadline broke the news that not only is Disney developing a sequel to 2019's record-breaking live-action reboot of The Lion King, but the studio has also already tapped Moonlight director Barry Jenkins to helm the film. The Academy Award winner confirmed the news with a tweet that simply said, "This. Yes, This."

This.

Yes, This...

In news that feels both inevitable and completely out-of-the-blue, Disney has tasked Oscar-winning Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk filmmaker Barry Jenkins to direct a follow-up to last year’s lavish Lion King remake (according to Deadline). He will be taking over directorial duties from Jon Favreau, who seemingly has his hands full with his Star Wars series The Mandalorian on Disney+ and other endeavors in a galaxy far, far away. According to the report Jeff Nathanson, who wrote last year’s update (which was more or less a photocopy of the beloved 1994 …...

The Lion King may have suffered from lukewarm reviews – to put it lightly – but the critical reception did nothing to harm the film’s box office takings, with Disney’s remake of the beloved classic reaching the billion-dollar mark in under three weeks. Of course, it ultimately went on to haul in a whopping $1.65 billion, ensuring that a sequel would soon be announced.

In fact, We Got This Covered told you last year that the studio was looking into doing another one and now, Deadline has confirmed our previous report, with the outlet revealing today that The Lion King 2 is officially in the works. The only thing is, Jon Favreau won’t be returning to direct. Which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you felt about the first film.

Instead, Moonlight helmer Barry Jenkins will replace him behind the camera, with Jeff Nathanson – who penned...

Naomi Watts, an adept and at times electrifying actor, has found herself adrift in recent years. The star who shone bright in Mulholland Drive and King Kong has dimmed with each rotten project, from the disastrous schmaltz of The Book of Henry (a film so bad it was rumoured to have cost director Colin Trevorrow a Star Wars gig), to Gus Van Sant’s maudlin suicide mystery The Sea of Trees (a film that was met with a chorus of boos at Cannes) to clumsy, barely released trans drama 3 Generations.

Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield, Delroy Lindo as well as Oscar and Emmy award-winning actress Regina King have signed on for The Harder They Fall, the all-Black western feature set at Netflix.

Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, and Rj Cyler will also co-star.

The new additions are joining previously announced stars Idris Elba and Jonathan Majors in the film, which is being directed by first-time feature helmer Jeymes Samuel a.k.a The Bullitts.

Jay-Z, James Lassiter, Lawrence Bender, and Samuel are producing.

Netflix’s “The Harder They Fall” is shaping up to be one of the streamer’s major upcoming titles. A Black-dominated western, the film directed by Jeymes Samuel was first announced back in fall 2019 with Idris Elba and Jonathan Majors starring, but now has added more to the cast — including several 2020 awards season contenders.

Joining the cast will be Zazie Beetz (a 2018 Primetime Emmy nominee for “Atlanta”), Delroy Lindo (an Oscar contender for Spike Lee’s Netflix movie “Da 5 Bloods”), Lakeith Stanfield (“Sorry to Bother You”), and Regina King. Also starring in the film will be Rj Cyler (“White Boy Rick” and “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”), Danielle Deadwyler (“Watchmen”), and Edi Gathegi (“X-Men: First Class”).

Directed by Samuel, also known as singer/songwriter and producer The Bullitts, and co-written by Samuel and Boaz Yakin, “The Harder They Fall” centers on outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), who discovers that his enemy,...

Much of the fear factor came from Tommy Lee Wallace’s stellar directing. But before the man behind Halloween 3 was awarded the position, George Romero was actually being set up to helm the production of the series.

Much of this is due to his most famous creation, Night of the Living Dead, which singlehandedly spawned the zombie genre and thus inspired the AMC hit series The Walking Dead, among many others. However, Romero’s influence goes...

A number of studio movies — including Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” — had tentatively planted their flag on July 31, only to delay amid the latest spike of infections.
