‘Stylish Star’ Allu Arjun catches up with Venkatesh, Varun Tej on ‘F3’ sets

The brisk shoot of the Telugu laugh riot “F3” saw a brief respite when “Stylish Star” Allu Arjun made a surprise visit to the sets on Wednesday. The movie, a standalone sequel to hit comedy movie “F2”, stars Venkatesh and Varun Tej.

Allu Arjun interacted with the stars and director Anil Ravipudi. In pictures released by the movie unit, the star is seen intently listening to the team. Allu Arjun also spent time with senior actor Rajendra Prasad and other members of the cast. The movie is being produced by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations; Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music.

For the “F3” crew and the cast, Allu Arjun’s arrival on the sets provided some much-needed lighter moments. Pleasure writ large on their faces, actors Venkatesh and Varun Tej looked happy to be spending some time with the “Stylish Star”.

The movie, which also reprises Tamannaah Bhatia and Mehreen Pirzada as the female leads, is expected to be a laughter bonanza, much on the lines of its predecessor “F2”, released in 2019.

Mrunal Thakur: 1971 war film ‘Pippa’ about a glorious chapter of Indian history

Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur, who has wrapped up the shooting of the upcoming film ‘Pippa’ that also stars Ishaan Khattar, says the film has given her a chance to know about a glorious chapter of Indian history.

Mrunal said, “‘Pippa’ has shown me such a great time and enriched me as an actor. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the era as part of my prep. It is an honour to be part of a film that depicts an Indian victory by making it personal. The experience of working with Raja Krishna Menon, Ronnie Screwvala, Siddharth Roy Kapur, and the entire cast was fantastic.”

She will be seen essaying the role of Ishaan Khatter and Priyanshu Painyuli’s reel sister in the film.

Produced by RSVP and Roy Kapur Films, Pippa also features Soni Razdan.

While Soni has also wrapped up her portion of the shoot, Khatter and Painyuli will continue shooting for the Raja Krishna Menon directorial.

Based on ‘The Burning Chaffees’ written by Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, ‘Pippa’ is a heroic tank battle film that underlines the bravery of the war veteran of the 45th Cavalry tank squadron who, along with his siblings, fought on the eastern front during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, which led to the liberation of India’s neighbour Bangladesh.

Christened as ‘Pippa’, the amphibious war tank involved in the victory, is akin to an empty ghee ‘dabba’ that smoothly floats on water.

‘Bigg Boss 15’: Karan Kundrra doesn’t shy away from letting people know about his life

Television actor Karan Kundrra, who is one of the 15 contestants in the latest edition of ‘Bigg Boss’, does not worry about controversies created in the show as he says he is not a person who shies away from letting people know about his life.

Talking about contestants getting into controversies in the reality show, Karan told IANS: “I am not a person who shies away from letting people know about my life because I chose this life. Everything is out there.”

He added: “Yes, it is a different level of exposure where people will be watching us 24×7 but at the same time it has got its on perks and as long as I know I am not duping anybody or being irrational or injustice happening because of me I am good. I am not scared of that part.”

Karan is a known personality as he has worked in popular shows such as ‘Kitani Mohabbat Hai’, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and even movies including ‘Mubarakan’ and ‘Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare’.

Does being a known figure give him an edge over other contestants in the show, which airs on Colors?

“It’s a perspective. There are a lot of people who already know me and associate with me. But that gives an edge to other people because they have seen me on other shows and they have a perception about me.”

He added: “This is a very stressful and challenging situation and people will get to know the exact real person I am. It could go anyway.”

What according to him are the pros and cons of being a part of a reality show?

Karan, who has judged, participated and even hosted in the genre, said: “I have been a participant before in ‘Zara Nachke Dikha’ as well. I have been on the other side, which is the judging side and the hosting side.”

He added: “For the first time I am crossing that line after a long time so there are advantages and disadvantages of both the things because I like to over analyse things because I would put myself in the hosts’ shoes. It might be difficult or easy for me. I am ready for both.”

Yami Gautam reveals she suffers from skin condition called Keratosis pilaris

Actress Yami Gautam has revealed that she is suffering from a skin condition called Keratosis pilaris and said that she developed the condition during her teenage years and that there is no cure for it.

Yami also shared a bunch of unedited pictures embracing her skin on Twitter.

Alongside the images, she wrote: “Hello friends,I recently shot for some images and just when they were about to go in for post-production (a common procedure) to conceal my skin condition called Keratosis-Pilaris, I thought, ‘Hey Yami, why don’t you embrace this fact and accept it enough to be OKAY with it.”

Keratosis pilaris is a condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps on the skin.

Yami added: “I also found the courage to share my truth with you. Phew! I didn’t feel like airbrushing my folliculitis or smoothing that ‘under-eye’ or ‘shaping up’ that waist a tiny bit more! And yet, I feel beautiful.”

She revealed that she has been dealing with it for many years and has now decided to let go of all her fears with the post.

“I developed this skin condition during my teenage years, and there is still no cure for it. I’ve dealt with it for many years now and today finally, I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the courage to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly,” she concluded.

Ayushmann Khurrana: I’m a total director’s actor

Ayushmann Khurrana says he naturally gravitates towards edgy content and that he is a complete director’s actor.

On the third anniversary of ‘Andhadhun’, directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ayushmann thanked the director for choosing to collaborate with him.

Ayushmann said: “I naturally gravitate towards edgy and disruptive scripts and ‘Andhadhun’ was a combination of everything that is fresh, unique, path-breaking.”

He added: “Sriram Raghavan is one of the best directors of our country and I’m fortunate that I got the opportunity to creatively collaborate with him.”

The film revolves around a boy named Akash, a piano player pretending to be visually-impaired. He unwittingly becomes entangled in a number of problems as he witnesses the murder of a former film actor.

Ayushmann said that he “surrendered” to Raghavan’s vision and his mastery.

“I’m proud that Andhadhun is part of my filmography. It is a project that made me unlearn and learn a lot. Playing a blind man who plays the piano was not an easy task.”

The actor reveals that he was hand-held by the director all through the preparation process and shoot which resulted in him delivering a brilliant performance that earned him the Best Actor award at the National Film Awards.

He says, “I couldn’t have done this with authenticity if I didn’t have a visionary person like Sriram sir to handhold me. I have to credit Pooja Ladha Surti (co-writer and editor) for her magic in shaping the film. And I’m thankful to my piano coach Akshayye Varma too.”

Ayushmann felt challenged as an artiste during ‘Andhadhun’ and that propelled him to deliver his best on screen.

He says, “I’m a total director’s actor and ‘Andhadhun’ made me a better actor than before. It taught me to always challenge myself as an artiste and be a restless creative soul.

“‘Andhadhun’ was one of the most fulfilling films creatively for me as it gave me the freedom to express myself freely. So, all credit to Sriram sir for bringing out a side to me that I didn’t think existed and I thank him for choosing me to be a part of his masterpiece.”

‘Bigg Boss 15’: Big fight erupts between Afsana-Vidhi, Jay-Pratik

‘Bigg Boss 15’ hosted by Salman Khan has started and this time as the theme is ‘jungle’ so contestants are experiencing altogether different situations.

As the contestants settle inside the house, the ‘sankat’ in the jungle has started creeping in. We already saw Donal Bisht was saved from the nomination as Ieeshan Sehgal nominated himself and during a conversation with other contestants Umar Riaz called Donal manipulative.

Also Afsana Khan shares about her marriage in November with other contestants and how she has put her wedding plans on hold for this show. Jay Bhanushali suggested to Ieeshan that he should open up as he is nominated for the week and needs votes. There were also some heated conversations among the participants.

In today’s episode a big fight erupted between Afsana and Vidhi right after ‘Bigg Boss’ commanded everyone to turn in their belongings except for the essentials. As Vidhi hurried everyone to follow the order, Afsana suddenly lost her nerve and started screaming at her. “Tu hoti kaun hai mujhe bolne waali?” (who are you to say all this to me) she fired at her. Equally strong-willed herself, Vidhi also lashed out at Afsana, threatening to hit her to quieten her down.

Meanwhile, another fight took place between Jay and Pratik. The continuous shenanigans of Pratik regarding the house rules irked Jay and Umar. While Jay warned Pratik to watch his mouth, the latter hit back by bringing up orders from Bigg Boss. While Umar and Karan sided with Jay, Nishant took Pratik’s side. Thus alliances have started forming in the jungle, where survival will become challenging with every passing minute!

‘Bigg Boss 15’ airs every Monday to Friday at 10:30 pm and Saturday-Sunday at 9:30 pm on COLORS.

Jyotika releases trailer of Tamil film ‘Udanpirappe’

The trailer of actress Jyotika’s film ‘Udanpirappe’ was released on Monday. The family drama marks the 50th film for the well-known actress.

The film is written and directed by Era Saravanan, and is the second DTS film from the recently announced multi-film collaboration between Jyotika-Suriya’s 2D Entertainment and Amazon Prime Video.

The trailer shows the story based in the Pudukottai district in Tamil Nadu. It is about two siblings Vairavan (portrayed by Sasikumar) and Mathangi (portrayed by Jyotika). While Vairavan thinks justice has to be claimed anyhow, Mathangi’s husband, Sargunam (portrayed by Samuthirakani) rests his belief in law diligently. As the differences intensify over the years, both get driven by the goal of uniting their families.

Expressing her excitement, Jyotika said: “Family and relationships have always been the core of my being. When I was narrated the story, I knew I wanted to be a part of this emotionally satisfying family drama. It has been a delightful experience working with a talented ensemble cast and putting together this labour of love and passion. ‘Udanpirappe’ is also my 50th film, and as an actor I am thankful for all the love my fans have showered on me over the years.”

Suriya, Founder of 2D Entertainment, added: “It’s a heart-warming film brought to life by some fine actors and we believe it will resonate with audiences in India and beyond, and also bring families together this festive season of Dussehra.”

‘Udanpirappe’ will stream directly on Amazon Prime Video from October 14.
