It's a story of a Punjabi guy and his arduous journey of immigration to Canada", a source revealed to Peepingmoon.com. ## The term 'Donkey Flight' is based on a Punjabi idiom meaning to hop from place to place. It describes a common play that would-be immigrants would use, in which they apply for a tourist visa for a European Union Schengen country. ## The SRK-Hirani film is expected to go on floors around May 2022. Taapsee Pannu is said to be the frontrunner to play the leading lady, however, she hasn't been signed as yet. Hirani has always done with scripting and has already begun recce in Punjab.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Urged Bollywood Leaders To Stand Up And Fight For The Survival Of Cinemas

Mumbai, September 6, 2021: National award-winning filmmaker, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has penned down a hard-hitting note to the Bollywood leaders, who remain silent as cinemas are closed in Maharashtra. The Tashkent Files director, in an open letter, urged Bollywood leaders to stand up and ensure that government listens and opens up cinemas. ## Theaters in Maharashtra are closed since April 2021, even though, most of the States have allowed theaters to operate. Vivek Agnihotri, in his letter, highlights the unjustified closure of cinema halls in the biggest movie market for Hindi films. He also mentioned that because of the silence of B-towners and the rise of OTTs, the Hindi film industry is going through an existential crisis. ## The filmmaker note down key points, referring to Bollywood artists and filmmakers, as follows - ## 1. You have earned hundreds of crores from your films which released in theaters.## 2. You have earned hundreds of crores because people paid for your movies.## 3. You are leader because you earned hundreds of crore and have a clout, experience, money and power.## 4. You can not just keep the perks of being a leader/star and keep quiet when there is a crisis. You know Bollywood is also the soft power of India.## 5. You know that Bollywood going through an existential crisis for three reasons: a] Locked theaters b] OTTs, and c] Public anger towards you.## 6. Imagine you are a big corporation and your brand faces the same situation. Will you go in hiding and wait for the situation to improve or you will firefight it?## 7. You haven't done anything except for keeping quiet and let destiny take its course. The general assumption in the industry is that people are dumb and they will again fall at the feet of the stars or at the box office as soon as movies release again. You are absolutely wrong and myopic.## 8. This is the real test of your creative integrity. The world is watching whether you are going to fight to save cinema or you'll do it only when your film is stuck.## 9, I hope you realize that because of your inaction, almost all Indian content is slowly being owned by just 3-4 American corporations. Soon, there will be no Indian content. This is how East India Company took over India. I am not saying this will happen but 'something like this is already happening. Just think why you are responsible for this.## 10. You want to be treated like leaders in happy times, celebration times, success times. Now when there is a crisis, you got to stand up and give confidence to millions of workers that you'll lead the fight for their livelihood.## 11. Please speak up and ensure that Government listen and #OpenUpCinemas.## To, Dear Bollywood leaders: …Because extraordinary times need extraordinary vision, courage and leadership…#OpenUpCinemas pic.twitter.com/xDf9lhKNwy— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) September 6, 2021 ## Stay tuned...

He is expected to complete the Ram Setu shoot by December this year. The actor had begun with the mahurat of the film in March 2021 in Ayodhya and was to shoot a long schedule in Mumbai but the second lockdown got enforced and some members of the unit including Akshay tested positive, forcing the shoot to be canceled and the set had to be demolished. There were reports that the Ram Setu team will shoot some portions in Sri Lanka as the movie had a direct connection with the country.

Kangana Ranaut's Thalaivi In Trouble; Actress Urges Multiplexes To Help Each Other

Mumbai, September 3, 2021: Kangana Ranaut starrer Thalaivi, which is scheduled to release in theaters on September 10, has found itself in hot water. Producer Vishnu Vardhan Induri has decided to release the Hindi version of the film on Netflix only after two weeks of its theatrical release, which is not going well with theater owners. ## Disappointed with the makers' decision, the national multiplex chains have decided not to release the movie on multiplexes and have jointly chosen to insist on a minimum exclusive theatrical window of four weeks until normalcy returns. ## A top officer of a leading multiplex chain was quoted as saying, "Two weeks is simply not acceptable to us. If we make a concession in the case of one film (in this case, Thalaivii), another producer would ask for a similar or a new concession. This will never stop. We recently finalized our agreement with Yash Raj Films. That agreement also stipulates an exclusive cinema window of four weeks. After that, we will revert to the pre-pandemic 8-week theatrical window".## To this, Kangana took to her Instagram handle and shared a message for the multiplex owners, requesting them to help each other during the testing times. She wrote, "No films are choosing theatres, very few and very brave like my producers @vishnuinduri @shaaileshrsingh are compromising on huge profits and letting go of exclusive streaming options only for the love of cinema". ## "In these times we must support each other and not bully or arm-twist; it's our fundamental right to recover the cost of our film which we did, we may have two weeks window for Hindi version but for South, we have four weeks window yet multiplexes ganging up on us and stopping our release there as well…This is unfair and cruel in these testing times when major territories like Maharashtra are also shut…Please let's help each other in order to save theatres", she added. ## Thalaivi will also release in Tamil and Telugu. The south versions of Jayalalitha's biopic will stream on Amazon Prime Video after four weeks. The movie, directed by A. L. Vijay, also stars Arvind Swamy, Prakash Raj, Bhagyashree Patwardhan, Madhoo, and Jisshu Sengupta in key roles. ## Stay tuned...
