‘Bigg Boss 15’: Jay keen on winning captaincy task in the house

So finally no contender can win the captaincy task in the ‘Bigg Boss 15’ house. That we saw in the previous episode. Now the housemates are given another chance to choose the captain as they have been given a new task.

In this task, the contestants have to come up with two names who are fit to become the captain. But these names will be selected only with a unanimous consensus. Of course, each one of them is now keen to win this task and become the captain.

Jay, pointing towards Nishant, says: “We’ve waited for this day! Now when we get a chance, we want someone from us to win.” While the rest somehow agree with this thought, Pratik refuses to remove himself from this competition. He is prepared to let this task go in vain.

On the other side now Ieshaan thinks that Rajiv has spoiled his image and thus their argument continues and now Ieshaan is not interested in having friendship with him in the house.

Beside that Tejasswi and Karan are developing a sweet and romantic bond. Tejasswi dresses up for Karan and asks him to give a nice compliment. All the housemates tease them by singing romantic songs.

Fans await dialogue promo or song from ‘Bheemla Nayak’ makers

Tollywood’s most anticipated multi-starrer ‘Bheemla Nayak’ is slated for a huge release during the Sankranthi season. With the days passing by, the makers are keen to wrap up shooting the talkie part soon.

As the festival of lights Diwali is approaching, the fans are expecting a promo or a song release. So, the makers, who are aware of the existing hype, are planning to release a dialogue promo from the movie. As the earlier released promos had become viral, creating much hype around the Telugu remake of ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ so there are reports that suggest a brand new promo from the team.

The title song ‘Bheemla Nayak’ was an instant chartbuster, as it became one of the most famous songs in the Telugu states after its release. The second single ‘Antha Ishtam’ crooned by K.S. Chitra is also lauded by music lovers. If not a promo, the makers plan to release another song from ‘Bheemla Nayak’.

As per the initial schedule, the original dates allotted by Pawan Kalyan have passed, as the actor tested positive for Covid. It seems like the makers are facing issues to wrap the shooting soon, with Pawan Kalyan juggling between his political schedule and the movie shootings.

A crucial fight sequence is pending and two songs are also pending for ‘Bheemla Nayak’, which are expected to be wrapped up soon. Helmed by Sagar K. Chandra, the movie is to hit screens in January 2022.

Suriya on ‘Jai Bhim’ character: Justice Chandru has not charged a penny

With the upcoming courtroom drama ‘Jai Bhim’ gearing up for its release, actor Suriya who plays an advocate in this movie, talks about the inspiration behind his role.

‘Justice Chandru’ in ‘Jai Bhim’ is a rebel, who strives to bring justice to the downtrodden people of society. Suriya explains that he felt responsible as he took up the role of such a person. “It brings me so much satisfaction along with the responsibility to choose such roles in my movies. As a pan-India movie, I am glad the tale is being reachable at a higher spectrum”, Suriya said.

Explaining his character in ‘Jai Bhim’, the actor said, “In most of the human rights cases that Chandru sir has taken up, he has not charged a penny. Not just Chandru sir, there are so many people in our judicial system who have done such things. All of their stories are to be heard, as they give us hope for a better world,” Suriya said.

On being quizzed about what the makers are trying to convey, when Tamil movies like ‘Asuran’ and ‘Kaala’ have already highlighted such points earlier. “It is the director’s conviction that ‘Jai Bhim’ has turned out the way it is. Though there are movies addressing the stereotypical ideologies around the subaltern culture, this particular story needs that hype. Being an advocate, Justice Chandru used the law as a weapon to bring back the rights of many,” Suriya replied.

‘Jai Bhim’ is slated for release on November 2 and would be streamed on Amazon’s Prime Video.

‘KGF’ star Yash floors all with his humility at ‘Bajarangi 2’ event

‘KGF’ star Yash bowled over everyone with his humility at the pre-release event of upcoming Kannada film ‘Bajarangi 2’. Attending an event after almost two years, Yash showed he is the same warm human being.

Yash remembered everyone who supported his career and even addressed the gym trainer as ‘Kitty sir’.

“I saw ‘Bajarangi 1’ in the theatre as a fan and now also I have come here as a fan of senior Shivarajkumar. Since school days I have been watching his films trying to dance and fight like him,” he said.

“Film industry recognising talent after success is common. We should not live in illusions. Shivarajkumar and Punith Rajkumar have laid the highest tradition of how to behave with juniors. You will have a special place for the people who treat you well when you are nothing,” he said.

“After success the whole world comes behind you, highest respect goes to those who have respected you before. Cinema is all about talent. If you have the capacity you can swim,” he said.

Yash fondly referred to the producers of the movie Jayanna and Bogendra as “warning brothers”. “If I am standing here, their contribution is so high. They have made five movies with me. They trusted me and somehow I got success in my life,” he explained.

He asked director of ‘Bajarangi 2’ Harsha not to address him as “sir”. “Harsha don’t call me ‘sir’. I will talk to you in singulars as before and you should also talk in the same way,” he said.

‘Bajarangi 2’ is all set for a Diwali release. The fantasy movie has ‘Hatrick Hero’ Shivarajkumar as the hero and Bhavana Menon as the lead actress. Shruthi is playing the role of villain and the movie is directed by Harsha.
