Trailer of Kartik Aaryan starrer Shehzada attached to Avatar: The Way of Water

The most awaited film of this year has made space to endorse one of the most anticipated films of next year. James Cameron’s Avatar has the teaser trailer of the Kartik Aaryan starrer Shehzada attached to it.

Sources say several forthcoming Bollywood biggies were vying for the privilege. However the Rohit Shetty-directed Shehzada, a remake of Allu Arjun’s 2020 Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo wangled the prized teaser slot.

A source close to the development informs, “Normally, Hollywood biggies steer clear of trailer attachment to their product. Firstly, because there is no interval break in most Hollywood films and trailers have to be placed at the beginning of the film. But this time for Avatar, Shehzada’s teaser has made it.”

Pathaan: BJP MLA Ram Kadam says film that insults Hindutva in land of Maharashtra won’t be tolerated amid ‘Besharam Rang’ row

Amidst the excitement amongst fans for Shah Rukh Khan’s return to silver screens after five years, Pathaan is mired in controversies. The first song ‘Besharam Rang’ has seen polarizing responses on the choices of clothes of Deepika Padukone. The song is picturised on the beaches of Spain where the actress is dressed in swimsuits. While netizens have called out misogynistic reactions to the choices of outfits a woman should or should not wear, certain sections are calling out for “boycott” of the film. Some are even demanding to rectify the song. In recent times, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra raised issues against objectionable costumes. Now, Maharashtra BJP MLA Ram Kadam says the film that insults Hindutva will not be tolerated.

He wrote in Hindi on Twitter, ‘#पठाण फिल्म को देश के कई #साधू #संत #महात्मा सहित social media पर भी कई #हिंदू संघटन तथा  करोडो लोग इस फिल्म को कडा  विरोध कर रहे है. महाराष्ट्र मे वर्तमान मे #हिंदुत्व विचारधारा वाली सरकार  है . बेहतर  होगा फिल्म निर्माता तथा दिग्दर्शक सामने आकार जो आपत्तीजनक बाते साधू संतो द्वारा कही जा रही है .उस पर स्पष्टतासे अपना रुख बयान करे . पर यह निश्चित है . महाराष्ट्र के भूमी पर #हिंदुत्व का अपमान करने वाली कोई भी फिल्म हो या सिरीयल हो. वह चल नही पायेगी. JNUधारी क्या ज़नेउ धारी विचारधारा को जानबूझकर आहत करनेका क्या ये दुस्साहस है ? जय श्रीराम (#Pathaan, Many sadhus, saints, mahatma of the country including many Hindu organizations and crores of people are strongly opposing this film on social media. At present there is a government with Hindutva ideology in Maharashtra. Film producer and director should better address these objectionable moments in front of those saints. Whatever is being said, state your stand clearly on that. But it is certain that be it any film or serial that insults Hindutva on the land of Maharashtra will not be tolerated. Is this the audacity of intentionally hurting the ideology of JNU holders or Zaneu Dhari? Long live Rama).’

पर यह निश्चित है . महाराष्ट्र के भूमी पर #हिंदुत्व का अपमान करने वाली कोई भी फिल्म हो या सिरीयल हो. वह चल नही पायेगी.

JNUधारी क्या ज़नेउ धारी विचारधारा को जानबूझकर आहत करनेका क्या ये दुस्साहस है ?

Previously, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra raised his issue with the song saying, “The costumes are highly objectionable and the song has been shot with a dirty mindset. The scenes and costumes of the songs should be corrected, otherwise, whether the film should be allowed in Madhya Pradesh or not, it would be a matter of consideration.”

Bhumi Pednekar on her character in Govinda Naam Mera, “Always believed cinema can be a tool to showcase independent, fiercely progressive women”

In her upcoming release Govinda Naam Mera, Bhumi Pednekar plays a woman whose husband (Vicky Kaushal) has a girlfriend in the form of Kiara Adavani’s character. Normally in Bollywood, such wives are shown in a pitiful state. But, going by the film’s promotional material, Bhumi’s character in the film appears strong.

While speaking about her character in the film, Bhumi said that she is always on the lookout of such characters. “I have always believed that cinema can be a powerful tool to showcase strong, independent and fiercely progressive women on screen,” she said in a statement. “My journey in cinema is a living example of this because I have consciously chosen films that present the woman of today, a woman who other women can connect with and relate to.”

Elaborating on her choice of films in the past, she added, “Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Badhaai Do, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Lust Stories, Sonchiriya, Saand Ki Aankh, Bala, Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitaare and now Govinda Naam Mera, I have always been inclined to play women who haven’t compromised on their dreams and wishes and stood up against patriarchy.”

Govinda Naam Mera is the first time that director Shashank Khaitan is trying his hand at a crazy quirky comedy. The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and is slated to stream on Disney+ Hotstar on December 16.

Throwing more light on her character in the movie, Bhumi added, “I love Gauri Waghmare who is an unstoppable force of nature and can stand up to a man and also be vocal about what she wants in life. She is an amazing character to play and I thank Shashank for giving me the freedom to run riot with it. I had a blast playing her. I think it’s evident in the trailer of the film and I’m sure it will come out more strongly when people watch the film on December 16.”
