Post furore over nude photoshoot Ranveer Singh to maintain a low profile

Image
After the furore over his nude photographs and the flurry of FIRs that has followed, Ranveer Singh has taken a decision to remain low-profile, at least for a while. The decision comes in the aftermath of the uproar over Ranveer’s nudes for a foreign magazine. While Vidya Balan and some other members of the entertainment fraternity have come forward in his support most of the film industry feels the nude pictures were uncalled-for. Taking the advice of his close friends including Karan Johar and wife Deepika Padukone, Ranveer has decided to lie low for a while. “He has been advised to dress sober, talk less and stop doing his favourite lap dance with everyone in the room,” a close friend of the power couple tells me. The lap dance, for those who came in late, refers to Ranveer’s proclivity to plonk himself in his friends’ laps and shower them with cheek kisses. This time Ranveer is listening. The nudes have eroded his equity in the entertainment business. Apparently he may lose some

REVEALED: PVR Cinemas raises ticket prices by up to 23%, as opposed to the usual 5-7% hike in the pre-pandemic times

Image
The exhibition sector suffered enormously in the years 2020 and 2021 due to the Coronavirus-induced lockdown and resulting restrictions. The situation has improved in the last six months but for moviegoers, watching a film in a multiplex has turned out to be an expensive affair. Gautam Dutta, CEO of PVR Cinemas, recently spoke about this aspect and a lot more. In an interaction with Economic Times, Gautam Dutta said that PVR used to increase ticket rates by 5-7% every year in the pre-pandemic era. For 2 ½ years, the multiplex chain couldn’t do so. Now, they have hiked the ticket prices by up to 23%. He said PVR had to do so to cope with the rising electricity costs, rent and maintenance charges. Interestingly, the ticket price increase helped the company post its best ever quarterly revenues of Rs. 1000 crore plus in Q1 of FY 2022-23. The footfalls in their cinemas are 87% of pre-2020 times and India’s largest multiplex chain expects it to grow and reach the pre-pandemic levels soon.

Karan Johar, however, was quick to ask if it was during her relationship with Ishaan Khatter. During the show, when Vijay Deverakonda was discussing about his co-star Ananya Panday, he revealed that she is a great co-star but not somebody you would want to be with when you are doing a film which requires you to diet. He said, “I find her really cute. I laugh a lot around her and she learns quickly. She did a really good job on Liger . She is a big foodie. So when you are doing a film like Liger which requires you to be in shape, she is not like the ideal co-star to have aroun

REVEALED: Here’s why Rohit Shetty and Kanika Dhillon have been thanked in Ek Villain Returns

Image
The suspense thriller Ek Villain Returns released today and is expected to embark upon a good start. Starring John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria, the Mohit Suri-directorial reportedly has quite a few surprises and twists in the tale. Interestingly, this aspect starts at the very beginning of the film, during the disclaimer slates. Under ‘Special Thanks’, several people have been mentioned. However, two names stand out – blockbuster director Rohit Shetty and acclaimed writer Kanika Dhillon, of  Kedarnath  (2018),  Rashmi Rocket  (2021) and the upcoming  Raksha Bandhan  and  Dunki  fame. The reason these two names grab attention is that they have not worked with Mohit Suri before. Moreover, their zone of cinema is different from that of Mohit Suri. Bollywood Hungama  has learnt that Mohit Suri has been signed by Rohit Shetty’s production house, Rohit Shetty Productions. Mohit was supposed to make the film with the same script as  Ek Villain Returns  with Rohit.

Koffee With Karan 7: Did Ananya Panday just confirm Kiara Advani - Sidharth Malhotra’s relationship?

Image
Considering that Ananya Panday met up with her mentor Karan Johar during her recent stint on Koffee With Karan 7, there were many skeletons tumbling out of the closet. It seems that the filmmaker knew a lot about his ‘student of the year’ and even sort of quipped some interesting anecdotes about her life. While the Liger actress smartly dodged questions about her own life, we can’t say the same about her candidness regarding other people’s love lives, especially about the much talked about couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. The Rapid Fire round may have started with the politically correct Ananya Panday giving answers but as it proceeded, the momentum definitely picked up and during the last few sections, we got to see the actress being her candid self while responding. The last segment of her Rapid Fire round involved her revealing the relationship status of the given celebrities. It started off with Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya’s response was, “Feels like he is in a rush t

Koffee With Karan lovers would be aware that the quiz round also features a mini section where the stars are asked to call co-celebrities, especially actors who are asked to say, ‘Hey Karan, it’s me’ to the filmmaker and also reveal what they are doing at that point of time. In the same round, Ananya Panday ended up calling Kartik Aaryan. The actor, who picked up the phone, said, ‘Hey, Karan it’s me’. Followed by that, Ananya asked him about his whereabouts but before he could reply,

Karan Johar defends terming Samantha Ruth Prabhu as No. 1 star; says, “No offence to Nayanthara fans”

Image
Fans of Tamil superstar Nayanthara have taken huge umbrage to Karan Johar insisting on  Koffee With Karan that Samantha Ruth Prabhu and not Nayanthara is the no.1 star, even when Samantha insisted the crown belonged to Nayanthara. Karan Johar clarified that he meant no offense to Nayanthara. “I said, according to the list that I had from Ormax, Samantha was the no.1 star. Nayanthara’s fans have misconstrued the conversation.” That is not all that a section of  Koffee  viewers have misconstrued. Samantha’s tongue-in-cheek sarcastic “confession” that she paid Ormax to list her as the No.1 heroine has triggered off stories in a section of the press on the amount she paid for the honour. “I think we all need to have a sense of humour. Mine is a fun show,” says Karan.
