Vijay Babu slips out of Dubai? Red Corner notice to be issued on Tuesday

Kochi, May 20 Police in Kerala suspect that actor-producer Vijay Babu, who is on the run after being accused of rape, has fled Dubai where he was hiding, for another country.

“We suspect that he has left Dubai for another country and we are waiting for the confirmation. Based on the court warrant, the Regional Passport Officer has impounded his passport. If he doesn’t surrender before Tuesday, then we will be issuing a red corner notice,” said Kochi City Police Commissioner C.H. Nagaraju who is heading the probe to track down Vijay Babu.

Babu, according to the police, is on the run after an actress from Kozhikode filed a complaint in Ernakulam on April 22 that she was raped and beaten up by him several times at a flat in Kochi.

Soon after the news surfaced, Babu appeared live on his social media handle claiming that he was the “real victim” in this case, adding that he would take appropriate legal steps against the complainant, whom he also named.

The police apart from her complaint, have registered a second case against the actor for disclosing the name of the complainant.

She has also accused the actor of giving her intoxicants before sexually abusing her.

As soon as the case was registered, Babu who was in Goa slipped out of the country to Dubai and he also filed an anticipatory bail plea in the Kerala High Court which is expected to be heard soon.

Babu, knowing that the Kerala Police was out to get him, reportedly slipped out of Dubai to another country, which does not have an extradition treaty with India.

Babu is doing everything he can to get anticipatory bail and he is expected to move the Supreme Court, if he fails to get relief from the Kerala High Court.

The Kerala Police have failed to get Babu from Dubai despite approaching the Indian Embassy in the UAE.

Manushi Chhillar on how she prepped for her role in ‘Prithviraj’

Mumbai, May 20 Bollywood debutante Manushi Chhillar reveals her preparation for her role in Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Prithviraj’ which is based on the life of Prithviraj Chauhan.

Manushi shares: “The preparation schedule for me was long and intense. Adi sir and my director Dr Chandraprakash ji wanted me to go through the drill before I even gave my first shot and looking back, I’m thankful that I put in the hard work.”

The actress shares that she also worked on her dancing skills for this movie: “I’m a trained classical dancer and this film made me brush up my dancing skills because I have three songs in the film! I had to nail the choreography, especially in ‘Hadd Kar De’. It is a beautiful Holi song and it needed me to be precise and also exhibit the fact that I could dance well. I hope that I have been able to show people that I’m a hard-working actor who is seeking perfection from my first film.”

She adds: “I have miles to go and lots to learn but my eyes are on the prize. I had to also pick up some interesting skill sets like archery and horse-riding! I have to admit that I had a lot of fun learning these. I learned horse riding as a kid because my father used to take me and my siblings for horse riding so I kind of knew the basics of it but I never had to hold the reins or gallop with the horse.”

“I have a horse riding sequence, however, I am sitting behind sir. So, it was interesting to do that sequence. I’m a student of art. So, every day was special on the sets of the film because I could learn so much and return the next day, hungry for more,” she concludes.

‘Prithviraj’ has been directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. The film is set to release on June 3 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Aamir Khan flaunts his footwork in a new video, reminds Ravi Shastri to revisit ‘Lagaan’

Mumbai, May 20 Aamir Khan, who is leaving no stone unturned to promote his upcoming film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, was recently seen in a video where he was asking for a chance to play for one of the IPL teams.

The video soon went viral as it opened up a new wave of discussion.

Following the hullabaloo, the TV channel took to its social media and uploaded a reaction video putting Aamir Khan on the spot on Friday.

One of the news anchors from the channel asked ex-India coach Ravi Shastri if Aamir had a chance in the IPL, to which the former India cricketer replied in jest, “He looks good in the nets. Probably needs to spend some time on his footwork. But should get into most teams (sic).”

Reacting to the same, Aamir Khan shot another video of him where he can be seen pulling off some excellent footwork. In the video, Aamir uses his quick-witted sense of humor and says, “Ravi, I am a little disappointed since you didn’t like my footwork. I think you have not watched ‘Lagaan’. Now watch me again. I think every team would be lucky to have me. Recommend me well, it will be fun”.

From introducing the podcast #LaalSinghChaddhaKiKahaniyaan to sow curiosity about the music album among the audience, Aamir is going full scale with the promotions of the film which is the Indian remake of the Tom Hanks-starrer Forrest Gump’.

Florian Hurel speaks about the struggle to create the perfect Cannes look for Tammanah

Mumbai, May 20 French hair and make-up expert Florian Hurel styled ‘Baahubali’ actress Tammanah Bhatia this year for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival and he couldn’t be happier with the result. However, it was no easy feat.

“Creating looks with her has been fun and yet we kept all the looks very worked on very chic, classy, and elegant. We both spoke a lot about the looks before creating one. I came up with a mood board and was functioning on hardly 4-5 hours of sleep a night! I wanted to make sure the ideas are presented to her before jumping into the glam game,” he says.

However, he adds, it was all worth it! “I am glad and very thrilled to be a part of the Cannes 2022 as it comes after a long period of the pandemic. It’s a comeback at an even higher level platform! This is a great motivation for me to work harder and bring the best looks to all my clients,” he says.

Florian, who has worked with all the big Bollywood names shares further: “I have worked with Tammanah on some very difficult commercials and other interesting red carpet looks but here, now at Cannes, it’s another level of work! An international, big platform and achievement for us. I am proud to see her shine and walk the biggest, longest, most applause-worthy red carpet in the world!”

He promises to be back next year. “I missed being with Deepika (Padukone) this year as I was booked with another artiste. I guess next year I will be with her or Priyanka Chopra. But I am so happy to be here with Tammanah this year. She is like a friend and seeing her walking the red carpet brings me a lot of joy and emotions. We’ve known each other now for 6 years since I moved to India,” he says.

New ‘Daredevil’ series in the works; Disney+ to bring all Marvel characters under one umbrella

Los Angeles, May 20 A new ‘Daredevil’ series is in the works at Disney+, with Matt Corman and Chris Ord writing and executive producing the project, reports ‘Variety’.

Corman and Ord most famously co-created the USA Network series ‘Covert Affairs’, which starred Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham. The show aired for five seasons between 2010 and 2014. They most recently worked as executive producers and co-showrunners on the NBC drama shows ‘The Enemy Within’ and ‘The Brave’ as well as The CW series ‘Containment’.

Fans have been clamoring for more Daredevil ever since the Netflix series was canceled in 2018 after three seasons. They were in for a long wait, however, as Variety reported in 2018 that the deal with Netflix included a clause that prevented any characters from the Marvel-Netflix shows from appearing in any non-Netflix projects for two years after cancellation.

As per ‘Variety’, the move came as Disney looked to bring its Marvel heroes under one umbrella, with multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe shows having since debuted on Disney+. ‘Moon Knight’ starring Oscar Isaac was the last such show to premiere, with a trailer for the ‘She-Hulk’ series starring Tatiana Maslany dropping earlier this week.

Deborah Chow shares her excitement on making the series ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’

Mumbai, May 20 ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ director Deborah Chow talks about the upcoming American TV miniseries featuring the Star Wars characters.

Reprising his role as the iconic Jedi master, Ewan McGregor is set to headline the series along with Hayden Christensen, Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr, Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie.

Deborah, who directed the show, is also one of the executive producers.

Deborah said: “I think the biggest thing for me that I really loved about the project, right from the beginning, is that it was character-driven. That was something that I found really, really exciting.”

Deborah, is a Canadian filmmaker, television director, and screenwriter. Her two short films, ‘Daypass’ and ‘The Hill’ have won awards at various international film festivals. Chow admits that her experiences on ‘The Mandalorian’ set helped her in doing the show.

“I don’t think I could have done this show if I hadn’t done The Mandalorian first, and there are a few reasons for that, just in terms of Star Wars. I learned so much from writer and director Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau. They really mentored me in that galaxy in terms of storytelling and understanding and the tone of how to do Star Wars. And the second part of it was the technology, and Stagecraft, which I loved,” added Chow.

The story is most deeply rooted in the events of ‘Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat – the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as an evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.

‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ will premiere on May 27 on Disney+ Hotstar and run for six episodes until June 22.
