    Kapil Sharma could’ve been in the ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ biopic, reveals Imtiaz Ali

    Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, maker of the biopic ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, revealed that actor-comedian Kapil Sharma was his second choice if Diljit Dosanjh had declined the film.
     
    In a recent episode of Imtiaz Ali’s Netflix show, the cast and director of ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ discussed their experiences making the movie. Kapil Sharma shared that A.R. Rahman had called him for a role in the film, but Sharma couldn’t respond as he was out of town and still regrets it.


    “I met Rahman sir one day, and he said, ‘I called you for Chamkila’. I think he wanted me to sing a song or something. I thought he was just sweet-talking with me.”
    “I felt really bad,” the comedian said. “I cried the whole night because of it. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t speak to each other because we were overseas.”


    Imtiaz Ali added that Rahman had also talked to him about Sharma’s singing. Ali informed Sharma that if Diljit didn’t take the role, Sharma would have been their next choice. 
    Ali said, “Rahman sir said to me, ‘I mentioned your singing as well.’ If Diljit couldn’t do this film, we only had one more choice, which was you.”
    The biopic stars Parineeti Chopra as Amar Singh Chamkila’s wife, opposite Diljit Dosanjh.
     
    ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ premiered in theatres before streaming on Netflix, receiving praise for Ali’s direction, Dosanjh’s performance, and Rahman’s music.

  • Bishnoi gang claims responsibility for firing incident at Salman Khan’s home

    Bishnoi gang claims responsibility for firing incident at Salman Khan’s home

    In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Mumbai residence in Bandra became the center of a firing incident on Sunday. Anmol Bishnoi, brother of notorious Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
    According to reports from Indian news agencies, two individuals riding bikes, believed to be associated with the infamous Bishnoi gang, fired shots outside Khan’s Galaxy apartment in Bandra during the early hours of Sunday morning.

    Anmol Bishnoi later posted a warning on social media, saying it was just a warning shot. He’s angry with Khan over a case from 1998 involving a black buck.
    Just hours later, Anmol Bishnoi reportedly took responsibility for the incident in a social media post. He warned Salman Khan, saying, “Don’t underestimate us. This shooting was just a warning to show our power. This is your first and final warning. If you don’t listen, there will be more shootings at your home.”

    He added, “You may idolize Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Shakeel, but we have two pet dogs named after them. I don’t talk much.”

    Since last year, Khan has had tight security due to threats from the Bishnoi gang. Anmol is also suspected in the murder of rapper Sidhu Moose Wala.

    Authorities are looking into the incident, and Khan’s security has been increased. It’s a reminder of the risks celebrities face, even in their own homes.

  • Nora Fatehi criticizes feminism, calls it a threat to society

    Nora Fatehi criticizes feminism, calls it a threat to society


    Canadian actor and dancer Nora Fatehi, known for her item song performances in Bollywood, recently stirred controversy on the microblogging platform X ,(formerly Twitter) by criticising feminism during an appearance on The Ranveer Show. Fatehi stated that feminism has “negatively impacted society,” expressing her preference for traditional gender roles where men provide and women nurture.

    Nora’s baffling views continued when she alleged that feminism harms the family system by pushing for women’s freedom, while she believes a woman’s main role is to care for her family and home, another outrageous statement that she piped out without any evidence. She stressed that women can pursue their dreams within their boundaries.

    “Feminism initially aimed to secure women’s basic rights, like education for girls. However, when it went against the natural order, it became harmful to society,” she said. Then she stressed that she believes in equality between men and women, but acknowledges their different roles in society.

    We would like Nora to get educated about feminism before spreading harmful tropes in countries where violence against women is rampant.
