Multiplex Chains To Not release OTT Movies Like Dil Bechara, Gunjan Saxena, Gulabo Sitabo Among Others In Theatres

The covid-19 pandemic has hit the showbiz, due to which the production of the films was forced to shut down followed by theatres, cinema halls, and multiplexes being closed in the lockdown in the month of March. ## The shutdown of showbiz was a big setback for the filmmakers and exhibitors, and to overcome this, the filmmakers took to the OTT route to release their films, which was heavily criticized by cinema owners.

Karnataka Police File Case Against Actress Kangana Ranaut For Anti-Farmer Tweet

Actress Kangana Ranaut seems to be digging in trouble for her anti-farmer tweet last month in which he called terrorists to those people who, as Kangana thinks, were spreading misinformation about the farm laws passed by the Parliament. The Tumkuru district police on Tuesday (October 13) registered a case against the actress for her tweet against farmers who were protesting against the farm laws.## Last week, a Tumkuru court had directed the local Kyatasandra police station to book Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on farmers. The ruling came after a complaint was lodged by advocate L. Ramesh Naik last month.## "My case against popular Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is not to gain any publicity but to convey to her that what she did was wrong. When farmers take to the streets to protest against any government policy, they are not necessarily terrorists, as she thinks. I have joined many such protests, am I a terrorist? I need clarification on this and therefore I am fighting this case", Naik told IANS as quoted in India TV report.## On September 21, Kangana had tweeted, "People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about farmers' bills and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists".## Alleging that the tweet amounted to causing provocation, hurt, the enmity between groups, and intentional insult, Naik had filed the complaint against the actress in the Tumkur court on September 28 after the Tumkuru police refused to entertain his complaint.## Kangana is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film "Thalaivi" in which she is portraying the character of a late actress and former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayaram Jayalalithaa.## Stay tuned...

It's Just Few Rotten Eggs That Have Given The Bad Name To Bollywood: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri says it is only a few bad people who are responsible for the bad image of this Bollywood industry adding that it takes a lot of courage to speak against the powerful people like he and Kangana Ranaut have spoken. ## Agnihotri opened up on the subject when he expressed his opinion on 34 Bollywood production houses and four film associations filing a civil suit in Delhi High Court against certain news channels for allegedly defaming the industry.## "Can the public sue Bollywood for destroying music, lyrics, language, art, creativity, social fabric, and culture of India?" Vivek tweeted.## Actor Gulshan Devaiah responded to his post about Bollywood destroying Indian culture, writing, "Careful Good sir!! By this logic some idiots might try to sue you too for some of your "earlier work".## To which, Vivek responded that he used to make crap movies but now has realized and left the company of Bollywood to fight against the corrupt system. "Absolutely. When like you, I was trying to fit in, I also made crap like your masters. But then I realised and left Bollywood and now I am fighting to reform this corrupt system. Pl join me in this noble revolution, Gullu, my favorite troll", he wrote in response.## In another tweet, Vivek also shared an image of the list of the production houses involved in filing the civil suit. The list includes almost all leading production houses of Bollywood including Yashraj Films, Excel Entertainment, Aamir Khan Productions, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Salman Khan Films.## "It's very easy for Bollywoodiyas to speak against #CAA or @narendramodi as they can't hit back but you need real courage and spine to speak against the powerful people in this list. So far besides me and Kangana, no one has spoken," he wrote.## While stating that around 5 lakh people work in Bollywood but not all are the same, it is just a few "rotten eggs" who have given the bad name to this industry. ## "Around 5 Lakh people work in Bollywood. Even an idiot knows that the fight is not with them. It’s just few rotten eggs that have given the bad name to Bollywood. Now those few are ganging up against to those who want reforms. Besides censoring the media", he tweeted. ## Stay tuned...
