Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who is known for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Paatal Lok’, ‘Gabbar is Back’ and ‘Raazi’, feels that the medium of audio storytelling enhances the imagination of the audience in a big way. The actor recently lent his voice to the Hindi version of the Marvel superhero Hawkeye in the audio podcast ‘Marvel’s Wastelanders’.
Talking about the same, Jaideep told Ians: “Audio storytelling enhances your imagination a lot more compared to the visual medium. In old times, grandmothers used to narrate fables to the kids, that too was audio-driven storytelling and what it did to kids was it opened up their imagination.”
“Those fables gave the power of a vivid imagination to kids as they pictured in their minds the characters and the world of the story narrated to them. So, audio storytelling is more fun and exciting because it demands an active participation of the listener,” he added.

Actress Shruti Haasan has never been shy of showing her rock’n roll side these days as she has been frequently posting on her social media. This time, the actress-singer was belting songstress Bettye La Vette’s song ‘When a Woman’s Had Enough’. While the original track is more mellow and does not use much high notes, Shruti was singing it completely high and seemed to be doing more out of just casually enjoying herself rather than practicing it or anything.
On her Instagram Story, she posted her clip and captioned it: “Normal screamy mornings at home to annoy @santanu_hazarika_art on national boyfriend day.”
Donning a black shirt with a completely pixelated black and white background, the actress was merely dancing and letting her hair swing while belting the song and grooving to it.

He doesn't have to try too hard. His audience can't hold back a chuckle when he doles out a mere one liner or tiny twist of expression. Sunil Grover makes comedy seem like a cakewalk.
"I think I am lucky. I am lucky that people laugh at what I say. So, there is nothing else to it. We all have to do our work and create our jokes, and how to render it and how to approach it. I love it. Maybe the love for it makes it work sometimes," said Sunil.
The 43-year-old funnyman gained the spotlight for his portrayals of Gutthi, Dr Mashoor Gulati and Rinku Devi on television.
He has also featured in films such as "Bharata, "Gabbar Is Back", "Patakha" and "Baaghi", among many others.
"I love what I do and that is a tool. This is something which is not imposed. I can't do anything else.

Jolly Llb was a sleeper hit which won both critical and audience acclaim including the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi. Now we hear Jolly LLB2 is being planned and their is an exciting addition to the legal team. Akshay Kumar confirmed that he will play the lead in the film and what is even cooler is that he will perform the role of a lawyer for the first time in his career.
Jolly Llb 1 celebrated the spirit of the common man seeking justice and impartiality most effectively. The film was laugh-out-loud funny, but underneath the humour was an angry critique of the system, something that resonated with the audience. Jolly Llb 2, which is said to be India’s first judiciary franchise film, will reportedly revolve around yet another high profile case and Akshay will be seen as a Kanpur-based lawyer.

In the last few years, every time Akshay Kumar had a release immediately after the Indian Premier League, the annual cricket tournament, it became a hit at the box office. After the super successful Rowdy Rathore (June 1, 2012) and Holiday - A Soldier Is Never Off Duty (June 6, 2014), this year, the superstar is ready with a laugh riot, Housefull 3, that opens in cinemas after the cricket tournament ends.
Ever since the release of the trailer and the songs of the film, the buzz generated by the movie has been really good. Akshay’s last few hits like Baby, Gabbar Is Back and Airlift had him portray intense characters, and now his fans are waiting to see their favourite action hero return in a comic avatar. The Housefull 3 team is optimistic about Akki scoring a post-cricket tournament hat-trick with his upcoming entertainer.

It's apocalypse time at the Indian box office, what with John Abraham's Rocky Handsome ready to take on Zack Synder's summer Hollywood extravaganza Batman Vs Superman Dawn Of Justice which features Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman.
Director Nishikant Kamat feels the action scenes in Rocky Handsome take the action genre in Bollywood to the next level. "We had to make sure the action scenes surpassed whatever John had done in his earlier films, or for that matter whatever was attempted in the action genre before this."
Kamat feels the stunts in Rocky Handsome are unique. "They are stylized yet raw and real. If you ask me for a reference it would have to be Transporters."
Kamat conducted a 3-week action workshop with John. "He has a very pumped-up gym-designed body. We needed John to be more agile. We prepared John for the role in Bangkok.

The game is on for Airlift. After a heartening opening weekend of 44.3 crore, the film was ultra steady of Monday as well. This was pretty much on the cards as well since the word of mouth is terrific and the appreciation is across board. With today being a holiday, last evening and night shows showed good occupancy as well. As a result, the film collected 10.4 crore on Monday, which is superb as only a select few films manage a double digit score on a working day. With this, the film has now scored 54.7 crore, which is huge by all means. Also, considering the fact that today would be huge as well, the film is set to cross at the least 70 crore inside 5 days, which would immediately confirm that the film is set to be Hit at the least. The film is now also set to score the biggest Week One...

After a good opening day which pretty much paved the path for the film, Airlift continued to soar over the weekend. There were good jumps evidenced and as a result, the film now stands at the ₹44.3 crore* mark. Now this is a very good total for a film which is as offbeat as it gets when it comes to a drama featuring a superstar.
While the film is being compared with Baby and Holiday, the fact remains that former was much more commercial in its appeal while latter was a quintessential mainstream entertainer. However, Airlift is entirely dependent on the content with its main selling point being Akshay Kumar as the face of the film. For a subject and genre like this, it is hard to even ensure that audience step in theaters, leave aside establish connect with them through the narrative.

2015 proved to be a relatively good year for Bollywood music. We had a diverse range of albums from the fun and happy soundtrack of Bajrangi Bhaijaan to the ultra traditional Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

It all started with Baby in January 2015. Ever since then, Akshay Kumar has already scored three more releases in the form of Gabbar Is Back, Brothers and Singh Is Bliing. Now in a span of exactly 12 months, the man would have his fifth film hitting the screens – Airlift. While his contemporaries are churning out one or at maximum two films in one year, Akshay Kumar is pretty much setting a record of sorts with as many as five releases to his name.
Tirelessly moving ahead and stepping into films as diverse as Housefull 3, Robot 2 and Rustom, Akshay gets into a conversational mode.
Unlike Holiday, Baby or even Gabbar Is Back which required you to perform a lot of action, Airlift isn’t about the kicks and punches from you. How was it to be a part of some true drama?
It was actually nice to take a break...

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” goes the Xmas song, but it also applies to sorting through the dreck and crap that came out of Bollywood in 2015. I watched many of these duds so that you don’t have to, and trust me they’re not as hilarious as I’m going to make them, because for every great Jodi like Srk-Kajol in Dilwale there’s Sunny Leone being paired with Ram Kapoor. Yet there were some awful gems like Msg and its sequel that came out in the same year – take that annual Fast and Furious franchise! Herewith is the worst and secretly hilarious of the year.
Worst Actor – Emraan Hashmi for Hamari Adhuri Kahani/Mr X
After doing so well in Shanghai, and Ghanchakkar, Emraan decided to play it safe with his performances in Hamari Adhuri Kahani (paired opposite Vidya Balan) and the atrocious Mr X.

This has to be the most 'dhamaakedaar khabar' before close of year. Just when it seemed that Akshay is redefining himself with a compelling act in much awaited Airlift, his nod of approval for Robot 2 has turned out to be as big an announcement as one can expect. "Yes, it is locked and sealed. Akshay is doing Robot 2," confirms our source, "The film has only become bigger with Rajinikanth, Shankar and A.R. Rahman already on board for the sequel. Now with Akshay stepping in, there is further pan-India appeal that has been generated." In the first part, it was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who had taken the film beyond its regional appeal. Back then, there was no Bahubali breaking records for a dubbed South affair and hence even a modest 20 odd crore that it had gained in the Hindi version was the highest ever. "Things would be very different now with Robot 2," an insider adds,...

The much awaited GQ Awards 2015 took place in Mumbai where international icon and superstar Akshay Kumar swept the “Ultimate Man Of The Year Award”.
Riding high on the success of back-to-back blockbusters this year — Baby, Gabbar Is Back, Brothers — Akshay Kumar collected his award wearing textured dinner jacket with patent opera slippers.
At 48, Akshay Kumar is one of the fittest actors in Bollywood and credits it to his gruelling regime — requiring highly controlled diets, prolonged martial arts training sessions and weight lifting. Earlier this year, Akshay Kumar had made his debut on the cover of GQ Magazine and shared the news with his fans after tweeting: “Here it is everyone, my 1st #GQ Cover! Hope you not only enjoy the cover but find my tips useful as well. #GoForIt.”

Three notable films release this weekend – Singh Is Bliing, Talvar and Puli. Out of this, it is only Singh Is Bliing which will take a huge opening at the Box Office. The Akshay Kumar starrer has made all the right buzz ever since its first poster came out, and ever since then has seen an escalation in momentum as far as hype is concerned. The film is releasing with a good element of positivity around it, which is a must for a biggie. The songs have worked as well with a couple of chartbusters. Moreover, it is arriving on the weekend of 2nd October, which is a big national holiday. That is further going to give impetus to its collections.

Shruti Haasan, who was last seen in Gabbar Is Back, is one busy lady these days, courtesy her south commitments as well as her Bollywood films like Welcome Back, Baadshaho and Nishikant Kamat's Rocky Handsome. Speaking of Rocky Handsome, the news is that Shruti will be credited as a 'special appearance' in the film's credits. Says a source from the film's unit, "Despite having a packed schedule, she said yes to the film because of two main reasons. Firstly, she loved the film's script immensely and secondly, because of her appreciation for Nishikant and the film's producer Sunir Khetarpal. But the fact remains, Shruti Haasan and Nishikant Kamath always knew that even though it is a powerful character, it does deserve a different credit than that of the lead. Hence after much conversation, they have mutually agreed on the special appearance credit for Shruti."...

In the season where films have started doing well at the Box Office, Brothers has managed to find audience for itself over the weekend. If the start was good, if not phenomenal, there was some good escalation waiting to take place on the rest of the weekend. Saturday was always going to be the key for the film and the Karan Malhotra film managed to cross the 21 crore mark. Sunday didn’t see as many footfalls asSaturday but still did better than Friday, as a result of which around 53 crore* came in once the weekend was through.
In the process, Akshay Kumar has now managed to get his biggest opening weekend after since Rowdy Rathore (48 crore) while Sidharth Malhotra too has gone past his Ek Villain (51 crore) record. Also, records of Akshay’s own this year, Gabbar Is Back (40 crore) and Baby (36 crore – First three days, since it was released on Thursday) are history.

Exactly four weeks after Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a biggie is all set to be unveiled in theaters. Brothers, which has been in news ever since its inception a year ago, is the Big film this Independence Day weekend and is all set to enjoy a major haul.
Just about everything appears to be going right for the film. The promo has been accepted quite well. The lead cast of Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra and Jackie Shroff is superb. With Gabbar Is Back, Baby and Ek Villain behind them, Akshay and Sidharth are enjoying a good run. Karan Johar and Karan Malhotra have given a Superhit Agneepath together. The action is looking unique and fantastic. The emotional appeal is promising good footfalls from the family audience. And most importantly, audiences are interested in coming to theaters, as seen in the recent spate of Blockbusters.

The timing couldn’t have been better. Just as Brothers is barely a week away from release, its lead protagonist Akshay Kumar has found international recognition coming its way. In its recent study where Forbes put together a ranking around World’s Highest Paid Actors, Akshay Kumar has found himself on the ninth spot. With $32.5 million in annual earnings, he has fetched as much as what George Clooney and Brad Pitt managed to collect together in the same time period.
Interestingly, he is next only to Amitabh Bachchan ($33.5 million), who has been around for two decades more than him, and Salman Khan (tied at $33.5 million), who debuted a few years before him and comes with a film lineage.
This makes it all the more impressive for Akshay Kumar because he practically started from the ground with neither any filmy base, nor any Godfather to boast of. However, in the 25th year of his acting career,...

Working along with superstars is every actress' desire. And if Shruti Haasan wishes to share screen space with the stars, then she is no exception. It seems of late the pretty actress is giving preference to starry ventures. It looks like she is done with working with new faces or young actors.
Earlier this year she was seen in Akshay Kumar's Gabbar Is Back and the film was received well. Now, Shruti is also a part of multi-starrer Welcome Back (that is set to release on September 4), wherein she is paired opposite Bollywood hunk John Abraham. Besides Welcome Back, Shruti will be yet again seen with John in Rocky Handsome. Further, she is even working with the highly acclaimed actor of the film industry, Irrfan Khan in Yaara.
And if all that was not enough, then the lissome beauty will be part of Milan Luthria's upcoming film Baadshaho...
