Pathaan director Siddharth Anand reveals concept of Shah Rukh Khan’s role; says, “Wanted to make SRK the symbol of alpha machismo”

Aditya Chopra and ace director Siddharth Anand are trying to make Pathaan India’s biggest-ever action spectacle for audiences! The visually spectacular Yash Raj Films’ action extravaganza, Pathaan, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and has the biggest superstars of the country Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in it.

The adrenaline-pumping, visually extravagant film presents Shah Rukh Khan as a gun-toting spy with a license to kill. Siddharth talks about the vision for the superstar’s uber-cool look in Pathaan that has become a rage with people already.

Siddharth says, “Shah Rukh Khan has sported countless looks that have shaped the pop culture of our country and inspired generations of youngsters to dress like the king of Bollywood. His looks are associated with moments and memories of people and it won’t be wrong to say that he has made India more fashionable through his style in films. So, it was a task and a big challenge to craft a look that is extremely different for SRK, who is playing a daredevil spy in Pathaan!”

He adds, “We wanted to capture the essence of his character which is inherently cool through what he wears and also his hairstyle. We wanted to make SRK the symbol of alpha and machismo, someone who is effortlessly cool and hot at the same time, through his look.”

Siddharth further says, “Going by the reaction his look is getting, I think we have done the job of giving his millions of fans worldwide yet another look that they can be proud of and shower love upon.”

Pathaan is set to release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

The much talked about and keenly awaited release Govinda Naam Mera is all geared up to release on December 16. The film starring Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, and Kiara Advani will release directly on OTT, with the film streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. While there still is time till the film releases, Bollywood Hungama gives you five reasons why Govinda Naam Mera is a definite must watch.

Casting: Starting off we have to admit the unique casting of the film is a massive draw. With powerhouse performers like Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and of course Kiara Advani, who has been on a high this year, one can expect nothing less than perfection. In fact, witnessing the chemistry between Vicky and Kiara will be a sight to behold if going by past experience from Lust Stories the two are sure to captivate the audience.

Performances: Coming to the performances, with Vicky Kaushal playing a never seen before character, the Uri actor will be seen in an out and out tapori role, contrary to the usually serious characters he has played on screens. Besides this, Vicky will also be seen shaking a leg to the foot tapping numbers in the film.

Apart from Vicky, Govinda Naam Mera also boasts of stellar performances from Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani. While Bhumi has over the past enthralled us her on screen presence and characterisation of various roles, Kiara on the other hand has fast become the nation’s favourite this year.

Unique Story: Unlike conventional Bollywood entertainers, Govinda Naam Mera features a quirky story with twists galore. In fact, the film promises to be a masala potboiler that will entertain the young and old alike.

Dialoguebaazi: Coming to the dialogues in the film, need we ask for more proof after Bhumi Pednekar revealed that the film features some unconventional material. In a statement made by the actress talking about the film, Pednekar revealed, “I honestly have loved delivering the punches in the film and I have to admit that I have been given some of the most hilarious punchlines by Shashank”. Continuing further the actress had added, “What I love the most about my dialoguebaazi in Govinda Naam Mera is that they are from the heroine’s side and that’s refreshing for a romantic comedy in the Hindi film industry because traditionally only heroes used to get all the great dialogues in a genre like this and make people laugh.”

Music: Talking about the music of the film has already feature two songs that have captivated the audience in the form of ‘Bijli’ and ‘Bana Sharabi’. With three more tracks to come, we are sure that we will be seeing Vicky dancing a lot more. In fact, the actor a while back had gone on record to state that for Govinda Naam Mera he had taken dancing tips from wife Katrina Kaif. Given his teacher, we are sure that Vicky will burn the dance floor.

In conclusion, Govinda Naam Mera, which features, humours, thrills, suspense and a story that will enthral all makes for a perfect holiday potboiler to be enjoyed by the entire family.

SCOOP: Akshay Kumar’s OMG Oh My God 2 deals with sex education; the actor confirms that it’ll release in April or May 2023

Akshay Kumar released a record of 4 films this year in cinemas and 1 on OTT. And in 2023, he’s expected to have multiple releases, as expected. The superstar recently made his presence felt at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where he shared an interesting detail about his upcoming film. Akshay revealed on Saturday, December 3, while having a conversation with moderator Kaleem Aftab that one of his forthcoming films talks about the importance of sex education. Akshay stated, “It’s a very important subject. In a lot of places, (sex education) is not there. We have all kinds of subjects we learn in school and sex education is one topic I would like all the schools in the world to have. (This film is) going to take time to release, it’s going to be April [or] May.”

Akshay Kumar, however, didn’t mention the name of the film. Fans were left wondering which film this might be. Bollywood Hungama has the answer to it. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film Akshay Kumar spoke about is none other than OMG Oh My God 2. It is a hard-hitting yet entertaining courtroom drama wherein a concerned citizen moves court and asks for compulsory sex education in schools.”

OMG Oh My God, which was released in 2012, was also a courtroom drama and starred Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. It was the story of Kanji (Paresh Rawal), an atheist, whose shop got destroyed in an earthquake. When the insurance company refused to reimburse him citing ‘act of God’, Kanji filed a case against God. Akshay Kumar played Lord Krishna and how He became a part of Kanji’s struggle formed the crux of the film.

In OMG Oh My God 2, Akshay Kumar is rumoured to be playing Lord Shiva, evident from the first look. The source continued, “A film named OMG Oh My God will of course have a divine connection. The writers and director Amit Rai have smartly incorporated the God element and the unusual court case revolving around sex education. The makers are confident that it’ll pull audiences and ignite a discussion.” Besides Akshay, it also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam.

Interestingly, Akshay Kumar, while talking about the film at the festival, also hinted about its release period – April or May 2023. An industry expert told Bollywood Hungama, “The month of April is crowded with releases. May 2023 is an apt time. Besides Yaariyan 2 and Swatantraveer Savarkar, no other film is scheduled for release.”

Popular former Bigg Boss participant Uorfi Javed is often in the headlines for her bold outfit choices and her social media. She often has brawls on the internet. Following her spat with author Chetan Bhagat, it seems like Uorfi is facing yet another issue. This time, she has called out a group of teenagers claiming that they have been harassing and abusing her.

She took to her Instagram story to share a profile of a teenage boy and tagged him saying, “This kid and his 10 friends have been calling me nonstop (I have been using the same number for 10 numbers, I don’t know from where did they get it). They are calling and abusing me. What is wrong with kids these days? Harassing me for no reason! I am going to file a police complaint against the 10 of them but if anyone knows their parents, let me know. I’ll reward you!”

It didn’t end there as the boy reposted her post. She further wrote, “The next generation is doomed! This kid is even resharing the story with so much pride. This kid and his friends prank call and abuse girls and then flaunt it instead of being sorry!”
