BREAKING: Yash Raj Films’ Tiger vs Pathaan, starring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, to go on floors in January 2024

Aditya Chopra’s ambitious YRF (Yash Raj Films) Spy Universe project, Tiger vs Pathaan, which will be a ruthless face-off between the two giant superstars of Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, is expected to start shooting in January 2024.

“YRF isn’t talking about this project just yet because they have grand plans to announce it in a massive way but a lot of work has already started on Tiger vs Pathaan. We are expecting the film to start rolling in January 2024. Aditya Chopra is going to keep all details under wraps because this is the biggest Bollywood film that the industry has attempted to make in a long, long time. It is not every day that you get India’s biggest superstars SRK and Salman in one film!,” informs a senior trade source to Bollywood Hungama.

YRF Spy Universe is now one the biggest IP’s in Indian cinema with all projects from the mighty franchise Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019) and now Pathaan being blockbusters. With Pathaan, YRF now also has the highest grossing Hindi film in the country as a badge of honour.

From a timeline POV of YRF’s Spy Universe, it all started in 2012 when Salman Khan took charge as Tiger in Ek Tha Tiger. In 2017, Salman reprised the role of the super-spy in Tiger Zinda Hai. In 2019, Hrithik Roshan made his entry into the universe as the suave super-spy Kabir in War. With Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan entered the YRF Spy Universe as super-agent Pathaan and delivered a mammoth global blockbuster in the lead. However, the crossover of spies from this universe began with Pathaan, which saw Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in an action-packed, adrenaline-pumping train sequence where they beat people to a pulp.

Following Oscar triumph, MM Keeravani tests positive for COVID-19, “I am under complete bed rest”

The extensive travel and the ongoing excitement in the USA leading up to the Oscars seem to have taken their collective toll on maverick music maker M M Keeravani. He is now down with COVID-19. The veteran music composer took home the Best Original Song award for ‘Naatu Naatu’ for filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s Telugu action entertainer RRR.

Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Keeravani said, “All the travel and excitement have caught up with me. I am down with COVID and under medication and complete bed rest.”

He looked back at all the excitement leading up to the Oscar with exhaustion and exhilaration. “It was all very unreal,” he said. “We would keep winning at every awards ceremony in the US. ‘Naatu Naatu’ became a global phenomenon in no time at all!”

While he is still to decide what to do with his newly-earned global fame, he knows what he is not going to do. “No more ‘Naatu Naatu’ compositions. I’ve never repeated myself in any of my compositions. I don’t intend to do so now, no matter how tempting the offer,” says Keeravani resolutely.

Apart from the Oscars, ‘Naatu Naatu’ also won the Best Original Song at the 80^th Golden Globes earlier this year.

For the unversed, RRR starred Ram Charan and Jr NTR in leading roles. The film, based in the 1920s India, was a fictional tale about revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem and their valiant efforts at rescuing a tribal girl abducted by the British.

Netflix gets legal notice over derogatory remark on Madhuri Dixit in The Big Bang Theory episode; action demanded to remove episode

Author and political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar has sent a legal notice to Netflix asking the streaming giant to remove one of the episodes of its popular show The Big Bang Theory. In the first episode of season two, the character Raj Koothrapalli, played by Kunal Nayyar, uses derogatory remarks against Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit.

In the legal notice, Mithun Vijay Kumar pointed out that the remarks made by Raj Koothrapalli are not only offensive but also defamatory. The notice states that such content can have a negative impact on society, particularly in perpetuating harmful stereotypes against women. He further states that the content promotes sexism and misogyny which is not acceptable in any form.

The legal notice demands that Netflix remove the episode immediately and failure to do so would result in legal action for promoting discrimination against women. The legal notice has been sent to Netflix’s office in Mumbai. If Netflix fails to respond or does not comply with the demands made in the legal notice, Mithun Vijay Kumar has stated that he will take further legal action against the streaming giant.

On Twitter, he wrote, “Recently, I came across an episode of the show Big Bang Theory on Netflix where Kunal Nayyar’s character uses an offensive and derogatory term to refer to the legendary Bollywood actress @MadhuriDixit. As a fan of Madhuri Dixit since childhood, I was deeply disturbed by the dialogue. I found it highly derogatory and offensive towards Indian culture and women. So I asked my lawyer to send a legal notice to Netflix, requesting that they remove the episode from their platform. It’s important to hold media companies accountable for the content they distribute, and I hope that @NetflixIndia will take this matter seriously.”

Speaking about the matter, Mithun Vijay Kumar said, “It is important to hold companies like Netflix accountable for their actions and to ensure that they are sensitive to the cultural values and sentiments of the communities they serve. I strongly believe that streaming service providers have a responsibility to carefully curate the content that they offer on their platforms. It is their duty to ensure that the material they present does not include derogatory, offensive, or defamatory content. I was deeply troubled by the use of a derogatory term in one of the shows on Netflix – Big Bang Theory. This term was used in reference to the acclaimed actress Madhuri Dixit, and it was not only offensive and deeply hurtful but also showed a lack of regard for her dignity. I strongly believe that streaming service providers must take such issues seriously and act quickly to address any instances of offensive or defamatory content. Furthermore, streaming service providers should be proactive in preventing such content from being streamed. This can be achieved through clear guidelines and rigorous screening processes for all the content published. Ultimately, streaming services have a significant influence over the content that is consumed by millions of individuals, and with this influence comes a responsibility to ensure that the content they offer is respectful, inclusive, and free from harmful stereotypes. I hope that this incident will serve as a wake-up call to all streaming services providers to work towards creating a more equitable and respectful media landscape.”

The Big Bang Theory, which was created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, premiered in 2007 and ran for 12 seasons. It ended in 2019.
