​तेवर के इस सॉन्ग को देखे तो इस सॉन्ग में राजा फिल्म का सॉन्ग 'अंखिया मिलाउ' सॉन्ग के सेट के जैसा ही प्रतीत होता है। इस सॉन्ग में संजय कपूर के साथ माधुरी दीक्षित नजर आयी थी। सेट पर मौजूद लोग को कई समानताये इस सेट में दिखी दी जो राजा के सेट पर थी लेकिन इस समनताओ के बारे में वह कुछ कर नहीं सकते थेन क्यूंकि सॉन्ग में विंटेज कार्स से लेकर नियॉन लाइट्स के साथ कार की हेडलाइट्स और दिवार पर लगे कार के व्हील्स और सेट को लार्जर दयान लाइफ दिखाने के लिए हजारो फ़्लैश लाइट का इस्तेमाल किया गया है। तेवर के निर्मता फिल्म के इस सॉन्ग को साल का पार्टी एंथम सॉन्ग बनाने की चाह रखते है , लेटस सेलेब्रेट सॉन्ग को इंटरनेशनल रैपर इमरान खान ने गाया है तथा रेमो ने कोरोग्राफ किया है।

Producer Sanjay Kapoor who is currently filming his mass entertainer Tevar starring Arjun Kapoor , Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpai is shooting a special song titled "Lets Celebrate " for the film . If sources are to be believed, it looks like Sanjay is reprising the set of his super hit song from the movie Raja with his upcoming venture Tevar.

While unintentional the set of the song bears an uncanny resemblance with the set of Raja’s hit song Akhiyan Milau which also starred  Madhuri Dixit. Those present on the set couldn't help but notice many similarities between the sets ,from vintage cars to neon lights, to car headlights and wheels suspended from the walls. 

Said producer Sanjay Kapoor, "While it wasn't intentional - When I walked in, I was transported back in time".

With a larger than life set and thousand flashlights, the makers of Tevar are making every effort to make Lets Celebrate sung by international rapper Imran Khan and choreographed by Remo , the party anthem of the year.

Eros International & Sanjay Kapoor ‘s  Tevar starring Arjun Kapoor ,Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpai is scheduled to release 9th January 2015.'Tevar' will mark the directorial debut of celebrated ad-filmmaker Amit Sharma.

Mardaani gets A certificate

After watching YRF's Mardaani starring Rani Mukerji, the CBFC gave the film an A certificate. However, Aditya Chopra had a chat and tried to explain that the subject was such that the film should be seen by children of the age of 12 and above.
However the authorities denied the request as the present guidelines do not have a category for 12 years and above.
It is the first YRF film to get an A certificate

A spokesperson of YRF said, "MARDAANI is a story that needed to be told and our aim is to reach this message to all, including those innocent girls in the vulnerable age of 12 and above. We strongly felt that they should be allowed to watch this movie and hence we were requesting for a “U/A” certificate, since the Censor Board does not have a category of 12 and above. We also told the Board that we would put “Not Recommended for Children below 12” in all our publicity material and at the start of the film, to ensure that parents are sufficiently informed that children under 12 should not watch this film. However, the Censor Board explained to us that this was not legally possible so we accepted their decision of giving the film an “A” certificate.
We must reiterate that this request for a “U/A” certificate was not for just one scene or dialogue which can be deleted or modified as required, and was in fact done according to the stipulation of the board. The request was only to help reach the message to those young girls who, in our opinion, are at an age where they need to be aware and be informed about this serious issue (but were going to be precluded from seeing it because of the “A” certificate).
In fact we had a screening for few women who strongly felt that they would want their daughters above 12 to watch the film and we hope that when the audience sees the film on 22nd of August, they too will agree with this viewpoint and realise the sensitivity with which this difficult issue has been handled in the film."

Mardaani is a gritty film on human trafficking in which Rani plays the role of a cop. It will hit screens on 22nd August.

"Life is Beautiful!" to release on 22nd August.

"Life is Beautiful!" is a Hindi Romantic Comedy entirely shot in Canada. It is slated to release on 22nd August.

Kirti Kulhari launches Sonia Gandhi's kalamwali.com

Pune 17th August 2014: Noted writer Sonia Gandhi launched her website www.kalamwali.com at Crossword Pune alongwith actress Kirti Kulhari KalamWali.com is a page, a Writer's paradise, a platform to express through words.

At KalamWali, we wish to create a world for all those who have immense love for words, where words, only words and a lot of words live.
It was conceived one afternoon while Sonia was meditating and thinking deep about life. After all life isn't only about pictures and updates on social media. Life is about what one achieves from every moment of life. And how would you know what anyone have achieved unless he or she ponders upon it and express it?
KalamWali's exactly about that. Its about how to tell people what you got. It's about awakening your talent. About acknowledging it, admiring it and appreciating it. Social media today has in someway awakened the skill of using words in us. But we certainly got more than that. We have a constantly functioning mind that creates beautiful thoughts. Thoughts which need to be expressed, shared and evaluated. KalamWali was brought into existence for this.
Kalamwali.com invites all of you to scribble your hearts out and make this dream of creating 'a world of words' a reality. You may write about anything that enthuses you, amuses you, possesses you or relates you. Also don't forget to spread the word once you are done arranging words.
Speaking on the occasion the writer Sonia said "I am an ordinary girl with extra ordinary dreams. Grew up in pune, scholing from symbiosis. Graduation in Commerce from Symbiosis again. Did my MSC in Management from Lancaster university, UK.
I am a trained classical dancer. Have learn oddissi under my mom since I was 6. Have also been training in singing and painting and pursue that as a hobby.
Looking forward to receiving your countless captivating thoughts expressed in words and have them pouring in at kalamwali.com
