Emraan Hashmi resumes shooting after recovering from dengue
Emraan Hashmi Emraan Hashmi , who was diagnosed with dengue on May 28 while filming his upcoming pan-Indian film They Call Him OG, has recovered and is back on set. He has resumed shooting in Mumbai. He shared with Mumbai Mirror, 'I am back in action and it feels good! I took some time off to recover from dengue, but now I have fully recovered and am back on set. A big thank you to everyone for all the love and thoughtful messages! I am excited to get back to the hustle and bring something exciting to the screen soon. ' The actor was shooting in Aarey Colony, Goregaon, when he began experiencing symptoms. They Call Him OG marks Emraan's Telugu debut, and he plays a primary role alongside Pawan Kalyan . Previously in a conversation with News18 Showsha, Emraan observed that the Hindi film industry is truly lacking the courage to take risks. Talking about why Indian producers avoid risky projects, Emraan said, 'If you put that across to a producer over here, I would say that nine out of ten of them would tell you, 'Are you out of your mind?' It would be a logistical nightmare. Thirteen minutes into a shot, someone may goof up and we would have to do the entire thing again. What would happen to the budget? We would need a director who leads the team, to be audacious and mad enough to make a show that way.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Husägare betalar näst intill inget för solpaneler Greenmatch Få offert Undo Talking about the scripts he's been reading lately, Emraan said many of them feel outdated or too similar to what he's already done. 'I'm like, why can't you see me or a film from a fresh perspective? I know that it's easier said than done. I definitely do say no more than yes. We should at least put out something we believe in rather than something that's run-of-the-mill. The probability of that working is more,' the actor added.

‘I want to jump off buildings, ride bikes, dance in Switzerland and sing beautiful songs'
It's a strange thing to wonder: how do Indians dispose of their own? The 2019 Tamil film KD took a comic look at thalaikoothal, the ritual practice of senicide (simply, killing off the elderly) in certain districts of Tamil Nadu. For the film's upcoming remake, Kaalidhar Laapata, transplanted to the Hindi heartland, director Madhumita was in search of a comparable phenomenon. The Hindi heartland obliged. 'In a lot of the states up North, there is the practice of leaving one's loved ones if they are aged or unwell at the Kumbh Mela. It is believed that God will take care of them and their last days will be close to Heaven,' Madhumita says. She made another crucial tweak to the original material. The protagonist of KD was an 80-year-old man recently awoken from a coma, who, having overheard his family's plans to euthanise him, embarks on a transformative journey after befriending a cheery street urchin. KD (short for Karuppu Durai) was played by Tamil theatre veteran Mu Ramaswamy. The character in Kaalidhar Laapata is younger, and suffers from Lewy Body dementia. What's more, he is played by Abhishek Bachchan. 'From a dramatic standpoint, memory loss is always interesting to explore when a character is younger,' Madhumita expands. 'For instance, there is a thread of unrequited love in this story. Kaalidhar is torn between wanting to remember and wanting to forget.' Bachchan, quietly vulnerable in a beard, was drawn to the 'pathos' in his character, a man who has always lived for others and sacrificed so much — and for so long — that life has just slipped him by. It's another of Bachchan's gently inward roles, after Ludo, I Want To Talk and Be Happy, that centres on an adult-child relationship. 'It's never too late to live your dreams. That's what Ballu (played by debutant child actor Daivik Baghela) teaches my character Kaalidhar,' the actor says. The film was shot in and around Bhojpur and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh (the Kumbh Mela sequence was faked in Orchha, a serene temple town on the banks of the Betwa river.) Bachchan has a strong family connection to the State. His mother, veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, was born in Jabalpur and grew up in Bhopal, and his grandmother and two aunts still reside there. 'They would visit the sets and we had a wonderful time.' Bachchan features in the recent comedy hit Housefull 5. He delivered one of his best performances in recent years in Want to Talk. The film, perhaps riding on director Shoojit Sircar's name, secured a theatrical release, a fate denied to many slice-of-life dramas with a leisurely pace. Have audiences become too impatient to sit with a two-hour story that pays off incrementally? Bachchan rejoins with a sharp 'no'. He quotes a line from Field of Dreams—'If you build it, they will come'. 'Even when people are scrolling through reels, they stop at what engages them and see it in its entirety. The same with a good film. They are rapt.' He points to Mrs, Aarati Kadav's domestic drama that broke records on ZEE5 and became the most searched film on Google on release. 'Traditionally, you would think the same about that film. But the platform believed in it.' That said, Bachchan is hoping to return to a more mainstream performing language (he has King and the historical Raja Shivaji in the offing). The actor concedes that, in the last three-four years, he has 'saturated' himself with a certain filmmaking sensibility. It came from an urge to challenge himself and expand his boundaries. But his cup is now full in that direction. 'I have enjoyed doing these films but I also want to get back to commercial massy stuff,' he says. 'I want to jump off buildings, ride bikes, dance in Switzerland and sing beautiful songs!' Kaaidhar Laapata will release on ZEE5 on July 4

Actor Srikanth's arrest unearths major criminal network: Land grabbing, job racket, drugs and more
The arrest of popular actor Srikanth, known for his work in Tamil and Telugu movies, in a drug related case has taken the lid off a criminal network that spans far beyond substance abuse and distribution and includes crimes such as land grabbing, job racket, and more. India News Srikanth has been sent to judicial custody till July 7 after he was grilled for over eight hours on Monday in connection with a drug case, said police on Tuesday. His blood samples were also taken to determine whether there were narcotics in his system and the results have confirmed so, said police. The medical examination was done at the Kilpauk Medical College Hospital in Chennai. Srikanth's arrest comes after enough evidence was collected against him, according to the police. 'Actor Srikanth, who had obtained and used cocaine, has been subjected to medical examination. His financial transactions were checked and his houses were thoroughly searched, and he was arrested with appropriate evidence,' the police said in a statement, reported PTI. Who is Prasad and other accused? T Prasad, a main accused in the criminal web that has been unearthed following Srikanth's arrest, has also been detained, the PTI report said. Prasad allegedly supplied cocaine to Srikanth and another actor as well, the police claims. Prasad was arrested earlier this year on May 22 in a pub drunken brawl case, the report said. Him and his friend, Ajay Vandaiyar, another main accused of the criminal network, were allegedly involved in crimes such as land grabbing. They would allegedly threaten landowners in Chennai and other areas as well and prepare fake documents in order to grab lands of people living out of India, reveals probe. Along with Prasad and Vandaiyar, other accused were also allegedly involved in these crimes, identified as Nagendra Sethupathi, Chandrasekhar, and Sivasankaran and have been arrested. A head constable of Armed Reserve police, who was in close contact with Prasad and other accused, has also been arrested. Some money transfers done through an organisation run by Ajay Vandaiyar are being probed and three cases have been filed against Vandaiyar and others involved in the crimes so far. The police have made 22 arrests and five detentions in the cases under the Goondas Act. "Prasad, Ajay Vandaiyar, and his associates have been involved in crimes such as government job racket, land grabbing, illegal use of the land registry and information technology department, and drug trafficking," said the police statement.
