Tamanna Demanding 2.5 crores to pair up with Raviteja

Milky siren Tamanna is in the news yet again, this time for her sky-high remuneration demands. A couple of months ago we have already revealed that the makers of Raviteja’s upcoming film being directed by Nakkina Trinadha Rao are in talks with Tamanna to rope her in for the lead role.

It is now coming out that Tamanna has quoted a whopping 2.5 crores in order to pair up with Raviteja. Well, everyone knows that finding heroines for senior heroes is increasingly getting tough and that might have forced the actress to put up a hefty demand.

But then, post the lockdown, she may not even get her usual fee of 1.5 crores from Telugu makers as everyone wants to implement cost-cutting. So missing out this film on the basis of remuneration is not a good idea.

However, some sources who are familiar with the developments have revealed that Tamanna is not interested to pair up with senior stars after Sye Raa debacle and hence she scared Raviteja’s producers by quoting high numbers. On the other hand, young heroines like Nabha Natesh and Nidhie Aggerwal are quite ready to pair up with Raviteja.

A larger number of freshers, people below 25 years of age, and those in the age group of 25-45 year are spending more time watching TV/movies, playing games or on other online entertainment amid the ongoing nationwide lockdown to contain Covid-19 spread, according to the latest IANS-CVoter survey.

In the income group category, 55.6 percent people in the middle-income group are spending most of their time on online entertainment, whereas 53.5 percent in the lower income group said they are not spending much time on online entertainment.

Lockdown diaries: Payal Ghosh learns kickboxing

Actress Payal Ghosh loves to take up a sport and, considering the limitations right now, she is learning kickboxing.

She is taking lessons from digital platforms.

“I had weight issues. So I try to take up a sport which engages my body and mind. In kickboxing, the intensity is high. I burn a lot of calories and it engages the entire mind and the body. Moreover, it’s a great way of expression,” said Payal.

“I am just loving it and looking forward to taking it to the next level,” she added and urged all “my country people to follow all the protocols set up by the government. We would come out strong and hopefully soon. A huge salute to the health workers and the people who are protecting us”.

Last month, Payal had opened up on experiencing panic attacks a couple of years ago and how the medicines led to weight gain. The actress had also shared how she successfully battled the situation, regained shape and feels much fitter now.

Actor files complaint against imposter offering audition on behalf of Salman Khan Films

Television actor Aansh Arora has filed a complaint at Mumbai’s Oshiwara Police Station against an imposter trying to dupe him in the name of Salman Khan Films (SKF). The complaint was lodged on Friday.

On March 1, an impersonator, identified as Shruti, got in touch with Aansh pretending to represent Salman’s production house. Shruti informed the actor that she is “heads the casting at Salman Khan Films” and that they were looking for a “TV actor to portray a main role” in a film titled “Ek Tha Tiger 3”.

“She told me that she’s leading the casting of Salman Khan Films’ production ‘Ek Tha Tiger 3′ and they wanted to audition me for the lead negative role. She briefed me (on) the character and story as well,” Aansh told IANS.

The actor further revealed that he was asked to visit their office for a meeting and audition with director Prabhu Deva on March 3. However, Shruti later cancelled the meeting saying that the director was busy, and also informed Aansh that he had been shortlisted for the negative role on the basis of his profile and videos.

Asked about the specifics of the role he was offered, Aansh was informed that it is the role of the “main antagonist who is also the wrestler”, reveal screenshots of a conversation lying with IANS.

The hoax came to light on Thursday when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took to Twitter to issue a statement where he categorically denied any such film was in the making right now. The actor also warned of taking legal action against impersonators.

“This is to clarify that neither I nor Salman Khan Films are casting for any film currently. We have not hired any casting agents for any of our future films. Please do not trust any emails or messages received by you for this purpose. Legal action will be taken if any party is found falsely using SKF or my name in any unauthorised manner,” Salman had said in his Twitter statement.

The superstar’s tweet acted as an eye-opener for Aansh. “Just when I saw Salman Khan’s tweet on this (matter) — that neither he nor Salman Khan Films production were casting for any film currently — that I realised (the truth),” shared the TV actor, who is a resident of Lokhandwala. The actor filed a police complaint against the imposter at Oshiwara Police Station the very next day.

Aansh Arora is not the only actor who has falled prey to the hoax. A few days ago, another television actor Vikkas Manaktala shared on Facebook how an impersonator pretending to be from SKF had approached him for a role in a film titled “Ek Tha Tiger 3”.

“Impersonator alert… Please be careful… The number doesn’t belong to Dipti R Sharma and the email id is fake… Skf.com is not Salman Khan Films’ domain… Please don’t be fooled by such impersonators.. #fakecasting #impersonator #becareful,” wrote Vikkas Manaktala on Facebook sharing a phone number and an email id.

When IANS tried reaching Shruti on the number mentioned in Aansh’s chat conversation as belonging to Shruti, nobody responded.

When Aamir Khan didn’t offer curd rice to ‘hungry’ Deepika Padukone

She was hungry and he was having curd rice in front of her, but he did not offer her a bite even once. At least, that is Deepika Padukone’s allegation against Aamir Khan!

On Saturday, Deepika shared a “major throwback” photo from 2000 when Aamir Khan visited their place. In the photo, the actor can be seen sitting on a sofa along with teenager Deepika and the rest of her family.

“Major throwback to 1st January, 2000. I was 13 and awkward. I still am. He was having lunch. Curd Rice to be precise. I was hungry, like I always am. But he didn’t offer and I didn’t ask… #random #anecdote @_aamirkhan,” captioned the actress.

Commenting on Deepika’s post, hubby Ranveer Singh commented: “Major throwback indeed.”

On the work front, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh will next be seen in Kabir Khan’s “83”.

Rajat Barmecha: ‘Udaan’ a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Vikramaditya Motwanes “Udaan” had premiered at Cannes Film Festival in May 2010 and went on to garner universal acclaim. Actor Rajat Barmecha, who shot to fame with his portrayal of a 17-year-old boy Rohan in the film, has come a long way since then.

Over the past decade since the film’s release, Rajat has explored himself professionally as an actor and also spiritually as a person.

” ‘Udaan’ is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Any actor in this world would love to get a debut like that, and I was fortunate enough to get one. It’s been an amazing journey since then,” said Rajat.

” ‘Udaan’ made me the actor I am today. The root of all that I know about filmmaking and my craft as an actor comes from ‘Udaan’ and my director Vikramaditya Motwane. He taught me a lot about cinema and filmmaking in general,” he added.

On the personal front, life has been beautiful, he says.

“I learnt and explored so many things about myself since ‘Udaan’, especially in the past five years. I have been backpacking solo. Travelling and spirituality have made me grow as an actor and more importantly as a human being. There is nothing in this world that can teach you what travelling does,” said the actor, who was seen in the 2016 series “Girl In The City” starring Mithila Palkar.

“‘Today at 31 when I look back at myself when ‘Udaan’ happened, I realise how much I have grown. At 21, I was naive. I wanted to do too much. I gave all my energies to money and a career, but today I give more importance to quality of life. I am still very raw and honest with myself as I was at 21, and that’s one thing I love about myself and don’t want to change ever. But at the same time I have matured as a soul,” he said.

“Today, I am doing projects that interest me. Acting is something I love and will continue forever but today by living I mean actually living my life to the fullest. That is my top priority and that’s the reason every single day of my life, I do exactly what I want to do. I am living my best life,” he said.

When Mandana Karimi was out of work

Actress Mandana Karimi will be soon seen in the web series “The Casino”, a project that she got after a long time.

“I had tears in my eyes when I was offered ‘The Casino’. I couldn’t believe it! After two years break and not having any release, it was really hard for me to get work,” said Mandana.

“A year and a half ago I spoke to a dear friend of mine, (filmmaker) Anurag Kashyap, about why I wasn’t getting work and what I should do. He gave me the best advice — ‘work on your craft, take workshops, stop trying too hard, trust your journey, be honest and work hard not for money but for the love of art’. He gave me a few numbers of acting workshops where I met Saurabh Sachdeva (acting coach) and started training with him for four months. His classes changed me as a person and as an actor,” she added.

By January, she started giving auditions for a couple of projects for an OTT platform.

“People started noticing the change in me too. Finally I got a meeting for ‘The Casino’ and we signed just a few days before leaving for Nepal,” said the former “Bigg Boss” contestant.

“The Casino” is her first web series.

“It is also my first release since ‘Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3’. I was looking forward to the promotions and screening of the show, but I am glad that during these tough days when everyone is looking for new content, we are going to entertain the audience,” she said.
