Qatar puts release of ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ on hold

0

Mumbai, June 2 After Kuwait and Oman banned the release of ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, Qatar now has put a hold on the Akshay Kumar-starrer.

‘Samrat Prithviraj’ is based on the life and valor of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan. Akshay is essaying the role of the legendary warrior who fought valiantly to protect India from the merciless invader Muhammad of Ghor in this visual spectacle.

A source working in overseas territories, on conditions of anonymity, says: “The issue is unnecessarily getting colored with a religious lens in these countries. People should view a film that’s based on history and is authentic from a neutral perspective.

“The fact is that India was looted by invaders who happened to be Muslims. The fact is that Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan fought one such invader and tried to protect India till his last breath. One should view history for what it is.”

The source adds: “After a ban in Kuwait and Oman, now another Islamic country, Qatar, has put the film’s release on hold. Indians living in these countries won’t be able to see the film and that’s really unfortunate. A film like this comes once in a lifetime for everyone to see and enjoy and celebrate one’s history.”

“People are trying to deny Indians of this moment. Better sense should prevail.”

‘Samrat Prithviraj’ has been directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi. Manushi Chhillar plays the role of King Prithviraj’s beloved Sanyogita.

The film is set to release this Friday in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

‘Major’ is not an agenda-driven movie: Director Sashi Kiran Tikka

0

Hyderabad, June 2 The film Major,’ which stars Adivi Sesh and tells the story of 26/11 martyr Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, will be released on June 3. Director Sashi Kiran Tikka explained that ‘Major’ is a story told from the perspective of Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s parents and that the film has no agenda and is made for the audience to savor the emotions alone.

“‘Major’ isn’t some random agenda-driven movie,” Sashi Kiran Tikka said. “It’s a natural story that allows the audience to soak in the emotions. While listening to the script, some of the actors and teammates began to cry.”

“Prakash Raj and Revathi both broke down in tears. At times, I too became emotional. The performance of Revathi ma’am will make you cry,” he conveyed.

“During the attacks, 15 police officers and two NSG commandos were killed, including Sandeep Unnikrishnan. I hope that one day, their stories will be told in the same way that Sandeep’s has been told.”

The director claims that the screening of ‘Major’ for Sandeep’s parents was a moving experience, as they were contacted by the team for the simplest of the details related to the martyr. “They’d describe how their son used to react in a particular situation. Taking their feedback was like a litmus test for us. The story is the parents’ point of view,” said Sashi Kiran Tikka.

The director talked about small-big cinematic liberties, he tried to take advantage of, for ‘Major’.

“The majority of ‘Major’ was shot on location. Simultaneously, we had to be as genuine as possible. To be sure, some cinematic liberties were taken.

“The action sequences were created with the goal of being as commercial as possible. If the reactions of the audiences at the premieres are any indication, the decision was well worth it.

“‘Major’ has been seen by Mahesh Babu sir (one of the producers). After watching the show, he was speechless for five minutes. We were unsure whether he enjoyed the film or not! He later came up to us, hugged me, and expressed his happiness as he showered appreciation,” said Sashi Kiran Tikka.

Hyderabad, June 2 Pooja Hegde, who was rumored to be playing the female lead opposite Telugu superstar Pawan Kalyan in his upcoming film ‘Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh,’ has “dropped out”.

According to Telugu sources, the ‘Radhe Shyam’ actress has opted out of the biggie, because it has been postponed, and she cannot plan her dates with ambiguity.

‘Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh’, directed by Harish Shankar of ‘Gabbar Singh’ fame, is in the works for Pawan Kalyan, who is yet to complete his other long-awaited projects (‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’).

It’s risky for a rising star like Pooja Hegde to give her dates without first getting confirmation on her working schedules, as she might miss out on other opportunities.

The ‘Beast’ actress is currently filming her next film with Salman Khan, ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.’ Pooja has also bagged an offer to appear in Mahesh Babu’s next, under the direction of ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramu Loo’ fame Trivikram Srinivas.
