Prabhas remuneration is double to Deepika

The pandemic has made it difficult for every person to stick to their usual plans as it is forcing a change in daily routine or work routine and even in their future planning. Many are facing crisis financially and if the pandemic continues to stay, nobody is sure about how to recover from it.

But the actors like Deepika Padukone and Prabhas don’t have a problem in demanding high remunerations as per the news reports. When the producers from Film Industry are asking for the actors to reduce their remunerations from usual, these two have reportedly demanded huge fancy amounts for their next film in Nag Ashwin’s direction.

As pet the buzz, Deepika Padukone has asked for Rs. 20 crores as her remuneration and with all other miscellaneous charges, total will wind up to Rs. 22 crores for producer Ashwini Dutt. Still, he accepted to pay the amount to her.

The amount that Prabhas has demanded as his remuneration is not clearly stated but he might be getting double to what Deepika will get due to his market value. He might take it as his part of the share from OTT or Satellite rights sales.

Sushant Singh’s brother and BJP MLA Neeraj Kumar Bablu thanked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for recommending the CBI inquiry and said that now the truth will come out.

On Monday, the Sushant Singh suicide case was raised in the Bihar assembly and almost all lawmakers demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter.

The Mumbai police had claimed that Sushant Singh died by suicide.

However, on July 25, Sushant’s father lodged a case in Patna and now Bihar Police is also investigating the case.

‘Shakuntala Devi’ producer: Theatrical releases will not become irrelevant

Producer Vikram Malhotra has just released his much-hyped new film, the Vidya Balan-starrer Shakuntala Devi, on OTT, but he takes a pragmatic approach and says skipping theatrical release is just a situational decision and by no means is the theatrical experience going to become irrelevant.

“The practice of consuming films and shows on digital platforms is not a new phenomenon. In the western world, it has been happening over the last 10 years. In India, too, a potential market has grown in the last five years. Yes, in the last three months, there have been films releasing directly on the OTT platforms for the obvious reason of the global pandemic. But I see no reason to looking at it as a shift from theatrical release to OTT,” Malhotra told IANS.

“It is not that theatrical releases will become irrelevant once normalcy returns. It is a temporary phase because content has to reach the audience,” he added.

Citing the example of “Shakuntala Devi”, he explained: “This film was slated to release in June. But we can see the unprecedented situation that the world is going through. During the lockdown, OTT is the widest platform of distribution of a film. As makers, we are utilizing that. If we make a film for a theatrical release, we have a very good reason to release it theatrically.”

“Shakuntala Devi” is directed by Anu Menon and it also features Jisshu Sengupta, Sanya Malhotra, and Amit Sadh. The film released on Amazon Prime Video on July 31.

The films released so far on OTT have all been small to medium-budget fare. Would digital release of a big-budget film guarantee as big a collection as the film in question might see at the theatrical box-office?

Malhotra replied: “I will explain how it works. There are different revenue models for the two platforms (theatre and OTT). The structures are different. When you release a film in the theatre, your fortune swings from zero to a hundred. A film goes from a deep loss to a great profit (financially) for a set of reasons. So the risk-reward ratio is very high. Earning profit for a film on the streaming platform after its release is different because the business model is different. So I refrain from the comparison.”

“In the future, when we take a call on what kind of risk and reward we are looking at from a film, we will map our audience. Based on whether a story is for individual viewing or collective viewing, we will decide whether to release the film on OTT or in the theatre,” explained the founder of Abundantia Entertainment.

TV actor Fahmaan Khan wanted to be a cricketer

Fahmaan Khan says he wanted to be a cricketer, to begin with, and his original aspiration in life was never to be an actor.

Fahmaan, who is seen on the show, “Mere Dad Ki Dulhan”, said: “I wanted to be a cricketer at some point. I still think cricket is my first love, but things didn’t unfold that way for me.”

Interestingly, he was always part of drama groups in school and college.

“I believe I was performing every day, performing characters at home and school, in different situations of life. I used to change small characteristics and enjoy people’s reactions to them. I love performing arts, I enjoy the various small traits and characteristics you can add with your imagination while executing them,” he said.

He now looks forward to playing versatile characters.

“I want to play characters that aren’t me. I would like to play intense characters or a character that speaks through his eyes. There are so many such characters that I’ve watched. One of them being Sidharth Malhotra’s character in ‘Ek Villian’. That character had so much potential. I would love to play that. It had the potential of becoming the next ‘Angry Young Man’ of the industry,” he said.

Cate Blanchett: Have always identified as a feminist

Hollywood star Cate Blanchett says feminism is all about equality, adding that true power lies in bringing up other people.

“I’ve always identified as a feminist but I was also a part of the anti-wave in the mid-eighties and during the nineties. Feminism was a dirty word. The conversation that was going around in the 1970s, and I think it continued negatively into the 1980s and 1990s,” Blanchett said.

“Being a feminist meant that you were anti-family and that is just an anathema to me. I think feminism, at its base, is about equality but it also means that someone who is holding all the power has to share and that is a fearful thing for a lot of people. True power is about self-respect and respect for others.”

The actress feels if we survive into the next century, “it will be about collaboration”.

“It will involve deep listening, it will involve doubt, it will involve humility. Women who I greatly admire, who’ve done extraordinary things across industries, I’ll ask them a question hoping that they’re going to solve the problem and they take the time and have the courage to say ‘I don’t know, what do you think.’ So suddenly, you’re in dialogue,” she noted.

“Real power is bringing up other people with you, and women are by and large great at doing that. I am really excited about the generations that are coming up. It feels now like there are a lot of growing examples of women who are finding their own voice. They have a more secure and broad platform to be seen by audiences,” she added.

The actress continued: “Alma Har’el’s work was amazing in ‘Honey Boy’. And (American writer-director) Mariel Heller and (French filmmaker) Claire Denis — all these are people whose work is so fascinating. I am working on ‘Stateless’ and finally got to work with the wonderful Jocelyn Morehouse and Emma Freeman who are great TV directors. Apart from Ryan Fleck, all of the directors on ‘Mrs. America’ were women.”

On the work front, Blanchett plays Phyllis Schlafly in the series “Mrs. America”, aired in India on Star World. It tells the story of the movement for the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s, and the backlash led by the conservative Schlafly.

Ravi Dubey on TV actors making it in Bollywood: It’s not easy

Actor Ravi Dubey says it is not easy for television actors to make it big in Bollywood.

“It’s not easy, because there are times certain myopic viewpoints and preconceived notions come into play,” he told IANS, adding: “But these notions will soon evaporate.”

Ravi feels the entertainment industry needs repair.

“The entertainment industry has made us whatever we are. It’s a great industry but the system needs repair. We have all at some point of time or the other been at the receiving end. It is time for a change in perspective, but I do feel we are at a point of a huge metamorphosis,” he said.

Ravi recently penned a poem titled “Aankde”, which translates to “numbers”. The poem was a comment on the industry’s obsession with box office numbers.

Manushi Chhillar: Raksha Bandhan always an inclusive occasion in my family

Actress and former beauty queen Manushi Chhillar shared that, for her, the festival of Raksha Bandhan has always stood for gender parity and equality.

According to Manushi, her parents Mitra Basu and Neelam taught the three siblings — Dewangana, Dalmitra, and Manushi — that protecting each other and standing by each other is most important.

“In my family, my parents have always instilled a sense of parity, a sense of equality in everything we do, or celebrate. So, even when we have celebrated Raksha Bandhan, it has been a very inclusive occasion for us,” Manushi said.

She added: “Dewangana, Dalmitra, and I have always celebrated it as a day to appreciate the bond we share as siblings and promise that we’ll always be there for each other. We’re best friends!”

Manushi says that her brother Dalmitra is hugely progressive in his thinking because of her parents.

“My brother, being the youngest, has himself been vocal about the fact that he needs his sisters as much as we need him. That’s the bond we share,” she said.

Manushi, who won the Miss World crown in 2017, added: “This ethos has come from our parents and how we have seen them being equaled at everything. They have been our role models because of their principles, morals, philosophies, and the way they have led and maintained their relationship.”

She thanks her for molding them as “independent, inclusive, and for grounding us with the right values”.
