Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi And Laxmmi Bomb May Clash On Diwali!

The theaters might have been closed but it seems that the trend of clashing big movies will continue, especially in the festive season. Usually, the clash used to happen between big stars' movies but this year, an interesting coincidence has been made. ## Akshay Kumar, who used to do films in the fewest days, his two upcoming films may clash on Diwali this year that are Sooryavanshi and Laxmmi Bomb. While Rohit Shetty's cop drama "Sooryavanshi" will release in theaters, as announced by the Reliance Entertainment, during this time, "Laxmmi Bomb" will release on the OTT platform, Disney+Hotstar. ## However, according to trade pundits, one of the biggest reasons for this big clash is the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League which will be telecasted on Disney+Hotstar along with Star Sports from 19 September to 10 November. Experts believe that releasing movies on OTT during the IPL time will prove to be a bad decision as people will prefer to watch the tournament instead of films. ## Disney+Hotstar may also face another clash apart from Sooryavanshi. According to reports, Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan starrer Coolie No 1 is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on Diwali as makers don't want let this opportunity to go. This comedy movie is a remake of the 1995 film of the same name starring Govinda and Karishma Kapoor in the lead role. ## It has been almost 6 months since the cinema halls are closed due to the covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown. With things started to opening up, the makers of Sooryavanshi are waiting for the theaters to open. The making of Sooryavanshi is around INR 150 crores, hence, trade pundits believe that it is very important for this movie to release in the theaters only, or else, it will be difficult to make up the cost. ## Stay tuned...

Teacher's Day 2020: Former Miss World Manushi Chhillar Remembers The Teacher Who Ingrained Love For Stage In Her

On The Teacher's Day 2020, former miss world, Manushi Chhillar remembered her one of the most special teachers from her junior school. The beauty queen-turned actress opened up on the subject on the occasion of Teacher's Day on Saturday (September 5). The actress recalled her special dance teacher who ingrained the love for the stage in her. ## "One of my most special teachers from school was Ms. Bose. She used to teach us Indian dance and music in junior school. I moved to Delhi when I was seven and in second class, and it was she who ingrained the love for the stage in me. From a very young age she would take me in her programs", Manushi told IANS.## The 23-years old actress told that even though her teacher was among the strictest teachers, she loved her dearly as she learned discipline because of her teacher's strictness. "She was among the strictest teachers I had but I loved her dearly because through her strictness I learned about performance discipline, and I understood that when you enjoy performing and like the stage, there is a lot of practice and self-discipline to go with it". ## Manushi Chhillar, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut with superstar Akshay Kumar in "Prithviraj", remembered the special bond she shared with her teacher.## "As I grew older and left for senior school, I remember I used to meet her once a year during our annual day and she would come with her squad of girls from the junior school to senior school. I would always touch her feet and still do whenever I get a chance to meet her, but she would never let me finish my namaskar and would hug me", she said.## "I share a special bond with Ms. Bose and she is one of my most special teachers. I remember that when we were finishing class XII, we had our candlelight ceremony and everyone was quite emotional. The only teacher I kept thinking about was her because she had seen me grow and always encouraged and pushed me to give my best. I hugged her and I think both of us ended up crying and both of us knew we would miss working with each other". ## Stay tuned...

Upset With Media Outrage On Film Industry, Producers Guild Of India Pens An Open Letter

The Producers Guild of India, on Friday (September 4), has penned an open letter regarding the attacks on the reputation of the Indian film industry across all media. Since the last few months after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, there have been many reports in the media that targeted the film industry in the names of nepotism, movie mafia, drug mafia, etc. ## "The tragic death of a promising young star has been used by some as a tool to defame and slander the film industry and its members. A picture has been painted of the industry a terrible place for the outsiders to aspire to; a place that threatens those who dare to enter it with contempt and derision; a murky den of substance abuse and criminality. This narrative is salacious enough for the media to exploit to great effect in order to boost its ratings, readership and page views", the letter read. ## "But it is not the truth", the letter further stated. "Like any other sector, there is no doubt that the film industry has its imperfections, and there must always be an ongoing attempt by any industry to improve upon itself, learn and evolve while weeding out unsavory elements or improper practices that hold it back. But to paint an entire industry with the same brush is a gross misrepresentation of reality". ## While this film industry has its failure to some extent, there is another undeniable expect is that it is one of the largest industries which provides thousands of jobs, boost travel and tourism, which plays an important part to boost an economy. Stating about the same, the letter further read -## "The film industry employs hundreds of thousands of people, boost travel and tourism, and is one of the most important sources of the soft power of India across the world. It has entertained hundreds of millions of people for over a century and has brought joy, honor, and glory to the nation. It has welcomed and embraced talent from across the country - from the worlds of literature, poetry, art, and music - and has drawn them in to create a unique cinematic language".## Read the full letter, here -## Producers Guild Of India pens an open letter about being upset with the relentless attacks on the reputation of the Indian film industry across all media.Read the complete letter, it's important 👇#Bollywood | #BollywoodBreaking2020 pic.twitter.com/louCZWzkr8— Sacnilk Entertainment (@SacnilkEntmt) September 4, 2020 ## "These are difficult times for the country and the world, so rather than venting our fears and frustrations on each other with vile and vicious trolling, it is more important than ever to come together instead of tearing each other apart".## "The media must look in the mirror and stop fanning the flames. There are some things more important than advertising revenues and ratings - things like common human decency. Let's show we still have some.

This is nothing but an insult to the Mumbai police. The Home Ministry should take action over it", Raut wrote Shiv Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamana'. ## In response to his remark, Kangana tweeted and asked why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir? "Sanjay Raut Shiv Sena leader has given me an open threat and asked me not to come back to Mumbai, after Aazadi graffitis in Mumbai streets and now open threats, why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir?", she wrote.## Meanwhile, a few days ago, the 'Manikarnika' actress had tweeted that she would require security either from Haryana or Central government and would not accept protection from Mumbai police to expose the alleged 'drug mafia' in Bollywood as the probe into late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death intensifies.## The actress had also tagged BJP MLA Ram Kadam in her tweet, an action that drew the ire of Shiv Sena and Congress.## Jumping into the controversy, Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant warned the actress that she should first run a background check on Ram Kadam before seeking help due to his 'dangerous' history.## Stay tuned...
