After facing huge backlash over the Beyonce Sharma Jayegi song, the makers of the upcoming film Khaali Peeli starring Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday have now altered the controversial hook line of the recently launched track. The new hook line is now "Duniya Sharma Jayegi".## Khaali Peeli makers had recently unveiled the song "Beyonce Sharma Jayegi", featuring Ishaan and Ananya. However, within minutes, social media was trolling the peppy dance number over the lyrics, which many found "racist" and "cringe-worthy".## Ever since the song was released on Youtube, the dislikes started raining on the song, and as of now, it has crossed 1 million dislikes. Before dubbed into 'Duniya Sharma Jayegi', the makers previously settled at 'Beyonse Sharma Jayegi'.## The line deemed offensive was "Tujhe dekh ke goriya, Beyonce sharma jayegi".

Sushant Singh Rajput Stopped Me From Committing Suicide And Helped Me Build My Career: Choreographer Ganesh Hiwarkar

Choreographer Ganesh Hiwarkar recalls the time when his dear friend, late actor Sushant Singh Rajput had not only stopped him from committing suicide but also made sure his career as a dance teacher flourished in the city even when he himself was struggling in the industry. ## Speaking to IANS, the choreographer said that Sushant gave him emotional, moral, and financial support despite being a struggling actor and dancer at the time.## "This was in 2007. It was Sushant's idea to make a brochure for my dance class. I did not have much knowledge about these things at that time. I would normally run my class with just five or six students. Sushant was associated with Shiamak Davar, and he told this was not the way", Ganesh told.## "He told me I needed to advertise to get more students. He got Shiamak's brochure and calendar and showed it to me, saying this is how branding needs to be done".## "Sushant not only gave me the idea for the brochure but created it, too. I still remember he sat on a computer all night looking for a suitable name for my dance class, brochure design, and all that. The text was also planned by him, what to mention for kids, what to write to attract adult students. He also posed for the photographs that were printed in the brochure", Ganesh added.## The choreographer went on to inform how the cost for his dance class brochure was also borne by his friend Sushant, who himself was a struggling actor and dancer at that time.## "The cost of the brochure was also borne by him. I come from a middle-class family and could not afford to spend the amount at that time. It had cost him around Rs 15-20,000 I guess at that time. My fees at that time were 1000 rupees per student, one of them being Sushant. I had to survive on Rs 5000 in Mumbai, so I couldn't dream of spending on stuff like brochures", he said.## "He was struggling at that time but did not think twice before spending the amount on my brochure. Not only did he save me from committing suicide but he also made sure I focus on my career as a dance teacher. That was Sushant," Ganesh recalled.## He further recalled, "Sushant would take me on his bike, around the city to meet people. That is how he helped me get a job as a dance teacher in Anupam Kher's acting academy where I taught for some time".## Stay tuned...

Sushant Singh Rajput's Life And Death Mystery Interest Filmmakers

Bollywood film industry has always been quick to make movies on the life of people from the entertainment industry or someone who can offer them a slice of reality for its fiction screen. In the past, movies like "Talvar", "Black Friday", "No One Killed Jessica", and "Main Aur Charles" have been made that grabbed a lot of attention. ## Keeping the trend continue, several filmmakers are taking a lot of interest and have announced projects based on the life and death of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput whose case is still under investigation, with new developments cropping up every day. ## According to IANS, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) have been registered several titles to set up productions capturing the late actor's life and death.## Some of the titles around Sushant's death that IMPPA received for approval are (according to an IANS report), "Sushant Singh Rajput Biography", "Sushant", "Rajput: The Truth Wins", and "The Unsolved Mystery". This is besides three films that were already announced a while back, allegedly bearing a certain likeness with Sushant's life. These are "Nyay: The Justice", "Shashank", and "Suicide Or Murder".## Trade analyst Rajesh Thadani spoke to IANS, giving the reasons behind movies on real-life stories, "Real life stories are topical, with everyone having a high level of interest in these incidents. So, people try to come up with projects based on real-life cases and incidents. People just try to capitalize on that, and with lack of new stories, they look at real-life stories".## However, the list of projects based on Sushant's life, is lacking a Bollywood biggie, associated with it or backing it. As of now, these productions are being helmed by fringe filmmakers.## Explaining this, Thadani said to IANS, "The case is very controversial, and it is against the industry, what with the film industry getting a lot of flak in the case. I think that is why they are staying away from it, and others are coming forward".## Another incident that is attracting filmmakers is the gangster Vikash Dubey who was recently encountered by Utter Pradesh Police. Titles received for approval at IMPPA include "Kanpur Ka Vikas Dubey", "Mara Gaya Vikas Dubey", "Mai Hoon Vikas Dubey Kanpurwala", "Most Wanted Vikas Dubey", "Vikas Dubey", and "Bahubali Vikas Dubey".## Stay tuned...

'Would Anyone Who Loved Someone Deeply Give Him Drugs?' Ankita Lokhande to Rhea Chakraborty

The former girlfriend of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, actress Ankita Lokhande has lashed out at actress Rhea Chakraborty by saying would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition?## Ankita took to Instagram and posted a long note in a bid to reply to all the haters. In her post, the actress clarifies that she had never said that Sushant's death is a murder or anyone is responsible for it but she wants the truth to come out. ## "I have never said it's a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies", she wrote on Instagram.## While showing the full faith in the Maharashtra government or Police & Central government instrumentalities, Ankita throws some serious questions at Rhea and her involvement in giving drugs to SSR. ## "Being a Maharashtrian and an Indian citizen, I have total faith in the Maharashtra State Govt/Police & Central Government instrumentalities".## "Let us assume you must have known in and out about your friend and whats going on in her life and relationship. Glad to see you wake up finally, but I wish you would have woken up sooner and advised your friend not to support any kind of drug abuse by SSR if any. When she very well knew about his mental state by publicly stating that he was in depression".## "His condition would deteriorate to a level that would make a man take the action that SSR has allegedly taken. She was the closest person to him at that time".## "On one hand, she says she was coordinating with all the doctors for his betterment of health on request of SSR, and on the other hand, she was coordinating drug logistics for him".## "Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition?", she added.## Ankita further added by asking that when Rhea informed Sushant's family about his ongoing condition, why didn't she inform them about his drug consumption? It may be because she, herself enjoyed consuming it. ## View this post on Instagram I again clarify, for the reason time and again being asked by the media to me on whether I feel it's a murder or suicide? I have never said it's a murder or anyone in particular is responsible. I always have encouraged justice for my late friend SSR and stood by the bereaved family and truth should be brought out by the investigating agencies. Being a Maharashtrian and an Indian citizen, I have total faith in the Maharashtra State Govt/Police & Central Government instrumentalities. Though when some lingos like "Sautan" and "widow" were used for me, which is in public knowledge. I never responded to it. I only came forward to narrate about SSR and his mental health till 2016. Dear Haters! Let us assume you must have known in and out about your friend and whats going on in her life and relationship. Glad to see you wake up finally, but I wish you would have woken up sooner and advised your friend not to support any kind of drug abuse by SSR if any. When she very well knew about his mental state by publicly stating that he was in depression. Should she have allowed a depressed man to consume drugs? How is that going to help? His condition would deteriorate to a level that would make a man take the action that SSR has allegedly taken. She was the closest person to him at that time. On one hand, she says she was coordinating with all the doctors for his betterment of health on request of SSR, and on the other hand, she was coordinating drug logistics for him. Would anyone, who claims to have loved someone so deeply, allow the other person to consume drugs claiming to know his mental state and condition? Would you do that? I don't think anyone would. So how can it not be seen as an act of carelessness and irresponsibility? As per her, she informed his family about his ongoing treatment but did she ever inform them about his drug consumption? I am sure she didn't because maybe she, herself, enjoyed consuming it. And this is why I feel it's Karma/Fate. Little advice for the unknown."You guard your friend and I am standing by the family". But let us maintain civility by not coming on to each other personally, either directly or indirectly.

Kangana Ranaut Gets IMPPA Support Against BMC Demolition Drive

The Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has come out in support of the Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and has condemned the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for its demolition drive at the office building of the actress. ## In a statement issued to the media on Thursday (September 10), the IMPPA president TP Aggarwal said, "All these things are neither good for the government nor good for Kangana Ranaut. The action taken by the Maharashtra government or BMC is absolutely wrong and should be condemned".## "Although the court has stayed the demolition, BMC has already done what they had to do. At least they should have given time before demolition. You ask her what is wrong construction and if she had given the answer, they would have broken it if it was wrong. It never happens that you demolish a property on such short notice of one day", he added. ## However, Aggarwal was critical of certain comments Kangana made on Bollywood after the sad demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput even though she has been a respected actress and has the right to speak freely. Aggarwal also believes that both parties should resolve their issues as soon as possible. ## "I feel she shouldn't have said some things and one of them is on nepotism. I believe that nepotism is everywhere. There is not much of nepotism in the film industry. If nepotism had been prevalent in the society then Kangana would not have been such a big star. She said that the entire industry is involved in drugs. If so many people take drugs in this industry, then the drug mafia in Mumbai should have their share in the film industry".## "As far as I believe there will be 5-7 percent of people who take drugs and they are in every field. By calling the film industry a drug addict, you are stopping the funds coming into the industry", the statement further read.## "I think the two parties should resolve the matter soon. If Kangana's house is wrongly constructed demolish it. But, why only Kangana? There are unauthorized constructions throughout Mumbai. Break them as well. BMC should also abide by the law while doing anything", he added.## Stay tuned...
