After Kartik Aaryan starrer Freddy, another much-anticipated Bollywood film will release directly on OTT.

Vicky Kaushal starrer Govinda Naam Mera to release directly on OTT

Given that Govinda Naam Mera sold to Star Network for Rs. 62 crores, it is crystal clear that the upcoming flick will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar. In August this year, Bollywood Hungama had reported about the deal. A source close to the development had told us, “It’s a comic entertainer, but not exactly a film that’s ideal for the big screen in today’s world. Hence, the makers decided on a direct-to-digital premiere.”

The source had further added that the satellite and digital rights have been sold to Star Network for Rs 62 crore. Giving details of the same, the source had explained, “the digital rights are valued at Rs. 42 crores and the satellite rights at Rs. 20 crores. The initial market expectation of Dharma Productions for Govinda Naam Mera was Rs. 80 crores, but the buyers were not too keen to spend such a big amount on the film. Finally, the deal was locked at Rs. 62 crores.”

Concluding the same, the source told us, “the budget of the film is equal to the revenue fetched. The team is now in a no profit no loss zone, which is still better than entailing losses in today’s world.”

It is worth mentioning here that, Govinda Mera Naam is the fifth film produced by Dharma Production to skip theatres after Drive, Gunjan Saxena, Shershaah and Gehraiyaan.

Shilpa Shetty is a sight to behold in an Anand Kabra black & gold saree worth Rs. 91

In the three decades since she stepped into the movie industry, Shilpa Shetty Kundra has carved a niche for herself in more arenas than one, ranging from fitness to entrepreneurship. Her unique fashion vocabulary, though, is what really distinguishes her as a name to watch. Shilpa Shetty Kundra adores wearing ethnic clothing. The actor frequently chooses intricate lehenga sets, colourful saris with a twist, or anarkalis with a dramatic flair, whether it’s for a television appearance or a festival. But sarees appear to have a special place in her closet. The 46-year-old has been spotted wearing a variety of sarees lately, including a silk brocade one, a ruffled one, and a sparkly one.

Shilpa Shetty supports sarees in their traditional form. We can’t stop staring at her in her most recent outfit, which is black and gold with plenty of shine. Shilpa Shetty Kundra has gone all desi and has done a great job of delivering a contemporary classic finish; the way the saree was draped suggested something extremely fashionable. You might get a brand-new saree and dress in it to emulate the Nikamma actress for added glamour. Shilpa’s saree by designer Anand Kabra had two emphasised fabric blends: chiffon and silk, which each individually gave comfort and shine. The sequin and beaded embroidery on the Rs. 91,100 desi number was visible through the patterns created on it. It featured long, golden fringes around the hem that did actually seem loud and party-like.

The actress wore a strappy, orange-red blouse with a halter neck and a black design underneath her saree to offer a splash of colour. A choker necklace, gold kadas, stud earrings, a ring, and a bracelet completed her ensemble as accessories. The actor adopted a natural look for makeup with a dewy base, gentle smoky eyes, and caramel lips. Her hair was blow-dried into soft curls. Her saree will be ideal for your sangeet if you’re still choosing your wedding attire.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shilpa will be next seen in film Sukhee alongside Amit Sadh.

SUMMARY OF THE LOOK DETAILS:

ACTRESS: Shilpa Shetty

OUTFIT: Anand Kabra

STYLIST: Chandani Mehta

Raj Kundra, who has been in news for making bizarre appearances during events, has finally opened up about the reason behind using masks. Readers would be aware that Raj, who even attended the lavish B-town Diwali bashes, refused to reveal his face to the camera and has been sporting it for all events that he has been attending ever since he returned home after being out of police custody. In the recent #AskRaj session he conducted on social media, the businessman decided to go all candid while responding to the questions thrown towards him which also included allegations related to producing and distributing pornographic content.

But the frequent question that the businessman was asked about was over the masks that he has donned on every occasion. Responding to it, Raj said, “I don’t wear my mask for friends and fans. I wear it for media, that’s all they will get of me from now!” He added, “I am Not wearing it for the public just don’t wish to give media a chance to click my face! I am hurt by the media trial they put me through! Media is not above the law!”


When a fan requested him to show off his mask collection, Raj said, “The collection is growing too big for my cupboard. They come out when I do ;)”


On the other hand, one of the fans even questioned the porn allegations against Raj Kundra. Answering the fan’s question, Raj maintained, “This will come out soon! #corruption #vendetta #rivalry many things #AskRaj one thing I can assure my well wishers is I have never participated in or produced anything PORNOGRAPHIC in my life.”

Neena Gupta reveals she once played sister to Feroz Khan; says, “He was 20 years older than me”

Known for calling out patriarchy and doing roles that break stereotypes, Neena Gupta has never shied away from calling spade a spade. From doing shows like Masaba Masaba to playing some of the most popular characters on the big screen in recent times, the actress has been once again on a career-high even at the age of 60. During an interview for her forthcoming film Uunchai promotions, Neena Gupta and Sarika were discussing how they played older siblings to actors who were much older than her and how actors would romance actresses who were almost two to three decades younger than them.

Neena Gupta reveals she once played sister to Feroz Khan; says, “He was 20 years older than me”

Recalling the days, Neena Gupta spoke about how she had played elder sister to Feroz Khan who was 20 years older than her. The actress played his widowed sister-in-law in the film Yalgaar (1992) which featured Feroz Khan with Sridevi as his love interest. The film also featured Sanjay Dutt, Nagma, and Manisha Koirala, among others. Agreeing with her perception, her Uunchai co-star Sarika added that in recent times, actors’ characters and roles have changed as more and more actors are willing to play the role of fathers to grown-up women which was never the case earlier.

Neena Gupta was seen discussing it during a Mirchi interview, where she said, “I once played Feroz Khan’s older sister… He was 20 years older than me… I have done many roles like this because at that time, we didn’t have TV shows or anything. We only had films, and these were the only roles we’d get.” Meanwhile, Sarika added, “Playing a mother isn’t always a bad thing. It’s wrong when they ask you to play mother to someone who is just four years younger than you in real life… There are so many men who are in their 50s, and they’re playing fathers, so it’s very good. In the old times, they used to keep dancing around bushes even after the age of 70.”

Coming to their forthcoming film Uunchai, produced by Rajshri Productions and directed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film tells the story of three friends who decide to fulfill the last wish of their fourth friend at any cost – which is to climb Mt. Everest. With Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, and Anupam Kher in the lead, the film also features Parineeti Chopra as their guide and it is slated to release on November 11.
