Just a couple of days back Bollywood Hungama was the first to inform  that streaming giant Amazon Prime Video was in talks with mega Bollywood production house Yash Raj Films to acquire four of the latter’s projects. In fact, we had reported that though talks were still on, a deal had already been struck between the two parties for 4 films, viz. Bunty Aur Bubly 2 , Prithviraj , Shmashera , and Jayeshbhai Jordaar .  As per the deal, Amazon Prime Video would be free to stream each of the four ventures four weeks post their theatrical release. As per well placed industry source it is learnt that Amazon Prime Video has shelled out Rs. 250 crores, for not one of the project but for all four! While the sum may seem grossly undervalued, a source informs us, “Had Amazon acquired the rights to stream the films directly the price would obviously be higher. However, since the deal states that the films can be premiered on the OTT platform four weeks after their theatrical release the amount is

Shah Rukh Khan had ‘tears of joy’ after his son Aryan Khan was granted bail in cruise ship drugs bust case as per Mukul Rohatgi, the former Attorney General of India and senior advocate. On Thursday, the Bombay High Court granted bail to Aryan and two co-accused, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha. They had approached the High Court after the special NDPS court rejected their bail pleas last Wednesday. Aryan was in jail for 25 days before he was granted bail. As per the NDPS court, although Aryan was not found in possession of drugs, he was aware of the fact that his friend, Arbaaz, was carrying them and this amounted to “conscious possession”. In a conversation with NDTV, Rohatgi talked about SRK that, “He has been very, very worried the last three-four days that I was there and I’m not even sure whether he had proper meals. He was just having coffee after coffee. And he was very, very worried. And I could see a big sense of relief, yeah, on the father’s face last time I met him.

Vicky Kaushal has been in the news over the months for all the right reasons. One of the reasons is his brilliant performances in various films and apart from his rumoured relationship with actress Katrina Kaif. His latest release  Sardar Udham  has been getting acclamation over the entire nation. While apart from that this year, Vicky Kaushal has also been roped in to play the titular role in  Sam Bahadur  which is based on the war hero Sam Manekshaw. The film's title was unveiled on the birth anniversary of Sam Manekshaw, this year. Helmed by Meghna Gulzar, the film was scheduled to go on floors by the end of this year.

According to the report, there have been multiple factors that had led to the delay in the film and one of them being Covid-

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has quit the digital platform. He is not happy with what he sees there. “The platform has become a dumping ground for redundant shows. We either have shows that don’t deserve to be seen in the first place. Or sequels to shows that have nothing more to say,” says a disgusted Nawaz who was a pioneer on the digital medium. “When I did Sacred Games  for Netflix, there was an excitement and challenge around the digital medium. New talent was being given a chance Now that freshness is gone. It’s become dhanda (racket) for big production houses and actors who are now so-called stars on the OTT platform. Major film producers in Bollywood have cut lucrative deals with all the big players in the OTT field. Producers get whopping amounts to create unlimited content. Quantity has killed quality,” says Nawaz sadly. He finds OTT the shows unbearable now. “When I can’t bear to watch them how can I bear to be in them?” The actor par excellence fears the growth of a parallel st

Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s appeal regarding the ongoing custody case with Angelina Jolie has been denied by the California Supreme Court.
