‘Shubho Bijoya’: Gurmeet Choudhary’s wedding fantasy plays out on screen

Actor Gurmeet Choudhary says his forthcoming short film ‘Shubho Bijoya’ is a dream come true as he always wanted to marry his wife Debina Bonnerjee in a Bengali-style ceremony.

Gurmeet and Debina had worked together in the TV show ‘Ramayan’ as Ram and Sita. The real-life couple are reuniting for the short film ‘Shubho Bijoya’.

Gurmeet talked about the short film being as real and authentic as possible, on a personal and professional level. He said, “As you all know, we didn’t get married in a lavish manner, it was a low-key wedding, but I’d always had this dream that I should get married in a Bengali-style ceremony and in this film, we have actually gotten married. Whatever you will see in this short film, it is quite authentic”

He said, “Our director had set up the camera and told us the rituals, and we went about doing our thing, so whatever moments you might see on screen they are quite natural and real. When I was going through the scene, especially when I was putting ‘Sindoor’ on Debina’s forehead, it didn’t have any sort of retake feel, it was real. As everyone knows, I am not a Bengali, and to play such a character was an experience in itself.”

The romantic short film is helmed by director Ram Kamal Mukherjee. It is a love story that revolves around a fashion photographer and a supermodel. The film is produced by Aritra Das, Gaurav Daga and Sarbani Mukherjee.

Debina also shared that the film is a modern urban story, and high on emotional quotient. She said, “The characters are Bengali, but the film is in Hindi and it is a very urban film. The film is set in Mumbai and it is really urban and its ultra-modern story, it is something we all are; the film is about working out of troubled times and rebuilding our world and try to make the best of it.”

“After making the film, I’d watched it like 4-5 times, and I cried every time. I thought Gurmeet will think I am obsessing over it because I was crying watching myself act. See the level of the film is such that one might actually start crying. It is a very simple story, which is very well woven and well told,” added Debina.

‘Shubho Bijoya’ will premiere on the auspicious day of Bijoya Dasami on October 15 on the OTT platform BiiggBang.

The makers of the film arranged for a pre-release function.

After watching the film, producer Dil Raju said, “We’ve first seen glamour in Pooja but slowly she started working on her character and by working on it she became a super performer. Being glamorous and a performer – very few heroines have this and Pooja did that in this movie.”

Producer Allu Aravind said, “Pooja, my love as ever, though you’ve done it (performed well) in my films and though you’ve done it before, the best you did in this (‘Most Eligible Bachelor’). I could not stop myself and I approached you and informed you that I liked your performance.”

‘Bigg Boss 15’: Love lost, friendships broken inside the house

With every passing day, ‘Bigg Boss 15’ is becoming more interesting with new gameplans and strategies by contestants and growing rivalries.

Surviving the wild has tested the ‘junglewaasis’ like never before. They are now eager to get back into the house to live comfortably. After a long wait, ‘Bigg Boss’ has now given them a chance to do so as they take on a quirky task.

As ‘junglewaasis’ break into teams for this task, they brace themselves to put their best foot forward. Meanwhile, Vishal Kotian finds an alternative to get back into the house. Knowing that Shamita Shetty is the ‘Sanchalak’ that decides which team has the upper hand, Vishal approaches her with his plan.

He smartly convinces her that she would benefit from having him and his team in the house. As Shamita gives her decision in favour of Team Tiger, the opposing team senses foul play and begins arguing with her. Now that Shamita has taken this bold step, she will have to face the wrath of the ‘junglewaasis’ in the other team, who take her on with complete fury.

On the other hand, another conflict begins between Jay Bhanushali and Karan Kundrra who have remained good friends so far this season. While Karan raises objections about Jay’s swearing, the latter stands his ground. He argues with Karan.

Karan, however, points out how Jay hasn’t been in good form, unlike Pratik. In an unexpected twist, the tide seems to be turning for Pratik as Jay begins to lose his closest friends in the show. Only time will tell what will happen.

Meanwhile, things aren’t smooth in Ieshaan and Miesha’s lives, where an argument has erupted, threatening to compromise their relationship. Ieshaan expresses his discomfort at Miesha openly talking about their relationship, assuming everyone is making fun of them. This upsets her as she asks him to shut up. Is this the end of their bittersweet romance?

Taapsee reveals how she prepped for athlete’s role in ‘Rashmi Rocket’

Actress Taapsee Pannu has revealed that for her role in ‘Rashmi Rocket’, she had seen pictures and videos of a lot of Indian and international athletes’ body language before, after and while running.

Taapsee said: “Yes, I did a lot of research at my level for ‘Rashmi Rocket’, apart from what was going on at the scripting level. I had seen pictures and videos of a lot of athletes – Indian and international – to see the body language, before, after and while running, just to see their body types, because I had to take reference of athletes especially who are of my build and height.

Taapsee said she did that bit of the research.

“Of course, I have never seen my body in that kind of a shape, so you are in for a surprise when you are trying to get those muscles to pop out because you want to see how they look on you. I had no idea how they’ll end up looking on me, if I’ll look similar to those references that I had taken or no. So, it was a dive of trust that I did with my training and I am glad that it ended up looking very authentic.”

Produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Neha Anand and Pranjal Khandhdiya, written by Nanda Periyasamy, Aniruddha Guha and Kanika Dhillon and directed by Akarsh Khurana, ‘Rashmi Rocket’ also stars Supriya Pathak, Abhishek Banerjee, Priyanshu Painyuli and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

The movie is set to premiere on ZEE5 on October 15.

Akkinenis on the edge ahead of Akhil’s ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ release

Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde-starrer ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ is slated for release on October 15. Being a Bhaskar directorial, it is expected that this movie would deliver a much-awaited hit for Akhil.

Despite his looks, perfect dance moves, and decent acting skills, Akhil’s previous movies didn’t give him a single hit. So, Akhil Akkineni is in dire need of a decent hit now. Touted as a family entertainer, ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ has grabbed the attention of all.

The Akkineni clan, which is keen on Akhil’s movie career, has kept most of the things related to this movie low key, so as to avoid any kind of disappointments. The previous movies of Akhil were huge on promotions, but failed to deliver. So, everything related to ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ is being taken care with much attention, so as to give a decent impression.

Akhil Akkineni who drew the Telugu audience’s attention with his appearance in ‘Sisindri’ as a child artiste, later made a cameo in Nageswar Rao, Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya-starrer ‘Manam’.

Akhil’s other movies ‘Akhil’, ‘Hello’, ‘Mr. Majnu’ also did not give expected results. So, all hopes are pinned on ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’.

So far, all the promotions have established a decent hype around the movie. The pair also appeared on ‘Bigg Boss Telugu 5’ to promote the movie, which is slated for release during Dussehra. The movie is directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar and GA2 Pictures is bankrolling it.
