Reena Roy shares about working experience with Jeetendra

Actress Reena Roy and disco king Bappi Lahiri will be seen as special guests in the upcoming episodes of singing based reality-show “Indian Idol Season 12”.

A contestant Danish Khan will light up the stage as he will be seen singing one of Reena’s memorable song “Aadmi musafir hai aata hai jata hai”.

After his performance, the actress shared a few insightful anecdotes from her shooting days.

She says: “You have sung this song beautifully, Danish. Keep up with the good work. Your singing took me back to those good old days. This particular song was shot in Kashmir and all of us, including the crew members, stayed in the city for a month to complete the shoot. Back then, most of the crew brought their kids along to the sets and post the pack up, we gathered together and played games and finished our dinner by 7.30 in the evening.”

She talked about the punctuality of Jeetendra: “Jeetendra has been my co-actor in most of the films with Late Jay Om Prakash Films. Believe me, when I say that I have never seen any actor, even Amitabh Bachchan being as punctual as Jeetendra. I still remember, if we ever had an early morning shoot, Jeetu used to call everyone at 5 a.m. and he made sure that we all got ready for the shoot as quickly as possible.

“So much so, that a lot of times, we ended up completing the shoot way before the schedule itself. Jeetu has always been a pleasure to work with and I admire his extraordinary energy and zeal of motivation that he continues to inspire us with.”

The show airs on Sony Entertainment Television.

‘RRR’ is about emotion with action and patriotism: Writer KV Vijayendra Prasad

Screenwriter KV Vijayendra Prasad, who is also the father of filmmaker SS Rajamouli, has opened up about their upcoming big-budget entertainer “RRR”. He says the film is about emotion with action and patriotism.

“RRR is something that the audience has not seen till now. (It is about) Emotion (mixed) with action and patriotism,” Vijayendra Prasad promised.

He said that it was Rajamouli who talked about making the story to the stars of the film.

“Rajamouli told me, ‘let’s make a story with two stars’, and one day he happened to see archives of our freedom fighters. One was Alluri Seetarama Raju and the other was Komaram Bheem. There was no record of them for two years.”

Vijayendra Prasad added: “Then my son said, suppose they have met now what would happen? That’s how the journey started.”

“The moment we had the two freedom fighters, Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharama Raju, he said he has two people in mind. There is a good chemistry between the two leading stars and the director, and they perfectly fit the bill for this film,” he said.

The writer, who has penned scripts of films such as “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”, “Mersal”, “Baahubali: The Beginning” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, also shared that all stories happen over a cup of coffee or tea in their house.

He said: “The process happens across the table. there’s an office in the house. All our stories happen in the office only over a cup of coffee or tea.”

Vijayendra Prasad said that the father-son duo “never had any second thoughts about the lead cast”.

The movie recently received criticism from social media users for showing Komaram Bheem, played by actor Jr NTR, dressed in the traditional outfit of a Muslim character, and Alluri Sitarama Raju, essayed by Ram Charan, dressed as a police officer in their respective character teasers.

Vijayendra Prasad said: “The magic of the director is that you will feel emotional during the action sequences.”

Shubhangi Atre loves digging into samosas during the rains

Actress Shubhangi Atre, popular as Angoori bhabhi in the sitcom “Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai!”, finds the monsoon the best time of the year. She particularly loves digging into samosas during the rains.

“From childhood, there’s a little something special during the monsoon. It makes me feel like a new birth. The season is all about thundering clouds, cracking lightning, and the freshness in the air when it starts to rain. I feel like my old best friend is back and calling me to play. Monsoon is my favourite time of the year,” she said.

The actress enjoys an evening walk in the rain with her umbrella.

“We all like to celebrate the beauty of the monsoon in our own special ways. Once it begins to rain, colors get brighter and the air freshens up. It’s hard to resist the temptation of taking a casual evening stroll. If I am not shooting evening walks are totally in with an umbrella for me during monsoon,” she adds.

Shubhangi, who has featured in popular shows like Kasturi, Do Hanson Ka Jodaa and Chidiya Ghar craves, talks of her love for Samosa, especially during the rains.

“Indian cuisine offers a variety of snacks, right from simple street-eats to exotic dine-in preparations. But no snack has been able to match the taste and popularity of samosas. The first bite of the crispy, steamy, and tangy samosa is something we all crave during monsoon. Even when on the set, I make sure to enjoy them while it’s raining outside.”

Finally, Amarinder agrees to attend Sidhu’s ‘coronation’

Just a day ahead of his ‘coronation’, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Thursday extended an invite to all lawmakers for tea on Friday and then attend the ceremony of the new state Congress team taking charge led by Navjot Singh Sidhu.

“Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh has invited all Punjab Congress MLAs, MPs and senior party functionaries at Punjab Bhawan for tea at 10 a.m. on Friday. They will all then go to Punjab Congress Bhawan together from there for the installation of the new PPCC team,” Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Raveen Thukral informed in a tweet.

Sidhu sent an invite, signed by some 62 legislators, through working presidents, Kuljit Singh Nagra and Sangat Singh Gilzian, to the ‘sulking’ Chief Minister to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

Earlier, the camp of the Chief Minister was adamant on its demand that Sidhu should first apologise publicly over his purported remarks against the government over the power crisis and the sacrilege issue and then he would meet him.

In a first show of solidarity and strength, Sidhu, accompanying 62 legislators, comprising four Cabinet ministers, on Wednesday paid obeisance at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

However, the Chief Minister and his close confidants were absent from Sidhu’s maiden visit to his constituency Amritsar (East) and religious places there.

That was Sidhu’s first visit to Amritsar after being appointed to the post by Congress President Sonia Gandhi on July 18, ending days of hectic lobbying and parleys within the Congress in Punjab.

Four ministers — Sukhjinder Randhawa, Tript Rajinder Bajwa, Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria and Charanjit Channi — were among those 62 legislators who signed the letter, urging the Chief Minister to attend the installation ceremony of the new party chief and four working presidents — Sangat Singh Gilzian, Sukhwinder Singh Danny, Kuljit Singh Nagra and Pawan Goel.

Sidhu will be replacing outgoing President Sunil Jakhar, a prominent Hindu face who was at the helm for over four years.

Toughening his stance, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had earlier clarified that he won’t meet Sidhu till he publicly apologised to him.

“CM won’t meet Navjot Singh Sidhu till he publicly apologises for his personally derogatory social media attacks against him,” Chief Minister’s media advisor Raveen Thukral had said.

Cabinet Minister Brahm Mohindra had also ruled out a personal meeting with Sidhu till he resolves his issues with the Chief Minister.

In a statement, Mohindra had said the decision to appoint Sidhu had been taken by the high command and was welcome.

“However, I will not meet him (Sidhu) till he meets the Chief Minister and resolves his issues with him,” Mohindra had said, adding Amarinder Singh was the leader of the Congress Legislature Party and all were duty-bound to follow him.

Tanuj Virwani: Took some time to reboot my mind after shooting ‘Tandoor’

Actor Tanuj Virwani has revealed how performing his character in the upcoming crime thriller series “Tandoor” had affected him emotionally.

“I play a character called Sahil Sharma in Tandoor. He is a young politician in Delhi. He is egoistic and feels he has a sense of ownership over those that are close to him. It’s not about camaraderie, it’s not about love, it’s about ownership and that’s what even happens in his equation with his wife Palak,” Tanuj told in an interview.

Opening up on how the role impacted him, the actor said: “It is a very intense role, amplified by the fact that it is a real-life incident. I will be lying if I said that it did not impact me emotionally. I am an actor and I have to try and compartmentalise different parts of my life. I felt really bad after shooting a traumatic scene on the set. Even though I am just a vessel playing another personality, but still, just to see how low people can stoop, that was pretty upsetting. It did take me some time to recover and reboot my mind once I was done shooting for Tandoor.”

The web series features Tanuj alongside television actress Rashami Desai. Sharing his experience of working with the “Bigg Boss 13” fame actress, Tanuj said: “Rashami has been an absolute dream to work with. We did not know each other before starting shoot, but once she was on the set she really transformed and became Palak. It was a privilege to work with her. She is very secure as an actor, comes well prepared and is a thorough professional. She is a curious mix of being a method actor as well as someone who is extremely present in that moment.”

For his role in the series, Tanuj had to gain about 10 kilos and says losing that extra weight was quite a task!

“I was about 81 kg when I signed the project and I was 90 or 90.5 by the time we started shooting. Firstly, I completely stopped going to the gym. I ate a lot of carbs, (carbohydrates), a lot of sweets, chocolates, a can of Milkmaid every day, a lot of aerated drinks because I wanted him to gain weight disproportionately,” he said.

“It was quite a task losing the ten kilos which I had put on. I know there are a lot of fat burning products available in the market and they will give you results very quickly but they have a lot of side effects in the long run and I’m not someone who likes to take the easy way,” warned Tanuj sharing that he shed the extra kilos in a healthy way just by following dietary restrictions and working out regularly.

Directed by Nivedita Basu, “Tandoor” is slated to stream on Ullu app from July 23.
