*****

A spy action comedy film, directed by Matthew Vaughn, and based on the comic book The Secret Service has all the magnificence of a Bond adventure to Sherlock Holmes astute logical reasoning of crime investigation and even follows the Quentin Tarantino’s aestheticization of violence, but entirely the movie has one significance value of black comedy with humorously enacted scenes.

Shekhar Suman launched Author Zaarra Khader Book​ "The Forbidden One" by Leadstart Publishing

Leadstart Publishing along with Crossword Bookstores hosted a book launch today. The afternoon saw the launch of Zaara Khader’s book The Forbidden One. Veteran actor and TV personality, Shekhar Suman launched the book.

Author Zaara Khader said," The Forbidden One is a compilation of short stories - the chronicle of characters who, in some way or the other, are either excluded or restrained or tattooed ‘promiscuous’ by the society. The emotions are very well described so one can relate to it. One will relate to the book very well as it makes you feel your forbidden experiences and thats the essence of it.

Shekhar Suman, Veteran Actor and TV personality, expressed himself by saying," I like reading books. The book is very well written and the short stories are wonderfully presented. I wish Zaarra good luck and hope everyone enjoys reading it."

Mr. Swarup Nanda, CEO of Leadstart Publishing said, “Leadstart Publishing is extremely happy to have associated with the event. The topic gains relevance and am sure a lot will relate to it. We sincerely thank Shekhar Suman for gracing us at the event.”

About the Book: The Forbidden One is a compilation of short stories - the chronicle of characters who, in some way or the other, are either excluded or restrained or tattooed ‘promiscuous’ by the society. Malicious and primitive in its ways, pushing such people on the periphery is bourgeois. Yet such people have a life of their own and as we go delve deeper into the lives of these characters we discover strengths, self-belief and even a sense of ease with which these characters go about their daily chores. Each of the ten tales here is set in the deep ocean of human emotions. Except that some of these emotions find their expressions in forms that are supposed to be suppressed as per the norms and inherited wisdom of the society.

About the Author: Zaarra is a media professional who got enticed into the profession of expressions at an early age even though she studied to be an engineer. From hosting radio shows, producing TV shows and conceptualizing events and engagement platforms she has been in the business of entertainment, communication and sponsorships for almost a decade now. Crafty with words and sensitive to emotions to the core she discovered an urge to reach out to the world and cage their imagination with a few characters and tales which seemed familiar yet unknown. Writing comes to her naturally as does creating characters that are so real that you can almost touch and feel them. Having written some impressive jingles for the advertising world followed her lyrical venture on contemporary Sufism, her compilation of stories here is more about characters who display exemplary resilience in their pursuits to follow their heart without a bother of what the society thinks of them or defines them as. 

Young Actors rule the Brands' Circuit.

Young actors rule the brands' circuit.

The latest gen next guy to break into the endorsement circuit is Aditya Roy Kapur. His new hair product commercial shows why actually it's the younger lot who will be gaining focus in the brand world. The ad is fresh, good looking and has the X factor that comes with being young and single. The appeal is real and not a manufactured one.

The scene is shifting rapidly. While the Khans are still unchallenged, the newer lot is making their own space. Something that is immensely supported by the social factors of a young consumer market like India.

A sea change has been witnessed in the strategies and approach of the brand owners in today's scenario.

Earlier, the Khans and other actors with a series of successful films behind them, were the undisputed winners when it came to being the faces of leading brands.

A lot has changed now and more and more brand companies are seen investing in the young stars of the industry as well.

Following are some of the reasons behind this phase two.

Freshness - Be it Alia Bhatt or Shraddha Kapoor, young actors who have replaced the older ones bring freshness to the brand along with them. They are ready to experiment, innovate and try new things. So, when any brand looks at a revamp, their first choice is to opt for a younger brand ambassador.

Popularity - Young stars like Sidharth Malhotra have a huge fan following. They are also more connected to their fans through the social media platforms which is a huge benefit for the brands.

Saves cost - Unlike the Khans and other super successful actors, the young actors charge way lesser thereby helping the brand save their overall cost which can be utilized for further marketing.

Marketing strategist Prabhat Choudhary says, “Brands need to make themselves relevant to this (young) consumer group. While the appeal of the Khans remains unchallenged, there is a whole lot of endorsements that Bollywood’s young brigade is bagging. Interestingly, this is not just limited to the metro audiences, but smaller towns are also very much a part of this change.”

Long term investment - The shelf life of the young actors like Aditya Roy Kapur and Varun Dhawan is way more than that of the senior actors. So they are like long term assets whose benefits can be reaped for a longer period of time.

Youth connect and Relatability factor - With the target market of most of the brands being the youth, these young stars of the industry are the best options for endorsement. They have a very strong youth connect and high level of relatability.

Tried and tested - There has been an upsurge in the sales of products that are being endorsed by these young stars. The value that they bring to the brand is proving to be very beneficial to the brand which is why we see the trend changing.

Anirban Blah, who heads a celebrity and sports management agency says in a young country like India, it is natural for brands to look for youth icons. “Ranbir Kapoor is the first choice to reach out to consumers. For a college-goer, a Tiger Shroff is more relatable than an older star. But someone like Shah Rukh Khan has a universal reach which cannot be easily matched,” he states. ​

Shahid Kapoor has a busy 2015

Shahid turns 34 years today. 

The young actor has had an interesting journey from a background dancer to one of the leading actors. 

Shahid has had an interesting body of work and yet there is more good in store for him.

Shahid Kapoor’s last outing; Haider won him accolades from everyone. His performance was absolutely loved.

The actor has an interesting mix of projects in hand right now where he will be seen in different avatars. 

While he has finished shooting for Shaandar with Vikas Bahl, he will soon start shooting for Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Pubjab.

Udta Punjab is a very demanding role and Shahid has been prepping for the same.

In the latter part of the year Shahid will begin shooting for Maghadheera which again would be an out of the regular script and Shahid would have to learn to ride a horse, sword fighting and get an absolutely different look.
 
Shahid also has Farzi which is currently in the scripting and pre production stage.

Aamir Khan's fan comes out in support of him over AIB roast

A lot of people have written open letters expressing their surprise over Aamir Khan’s views on the AIB roast. Here is a fan of Aamir who has come out in support of him and written an open letter, citing 4 reasons why people need to stop being hard on Aamir Khan.

1. 
He didn’t watch the video. How do you know that? He told you.

He said it himself. So to begin with, let’s stop saying that “He hasn’t even watched the video and is only reacting to what he has heard”, No shit, Sherlock! THATS WHAT HE SAID!
He heard about it, not from Vidyut or Pooja Bhatt or Russel Peters, he heard about it from Karan Johar and Arjun Kapoor - who were part of the roast. He heard jokes that you yourself didn’t hear, because those jokes didn’t even make it to you the YouTube telecast. 
So, in some ways, he reacted to a more complete version of the roast, as compared to those of you, who chose not to spend 4000 and watch it live. I did.

2. 
“I’m all for free speech. No issues” - I quote him. HE said this. In fact, his films have been banned, his effigies burnt, BECAUSE he chose to exercise this very Freedom Of Speech. and think about it, that’s exactly what is happening yet again, isn’t that what the Open Letter Writers are doing? Isn’t this their version of Effigy Burning? - and again, because he exercised that same Freedom Of Speech.

Did he say that AIB should be banned? Did he say that AIB should be jailed? What the fuck did he say? He said that he didn’t like it. That he didn’t think it was funny and he wasn’t impressed.

In fact, what’s bothering me is how people like Russel Peters (who I usually think is hilarious) is asking him to shut up! How can we talk about Freedom Of Speech and ask someone to Shut up! I mean WTF! 
He also said actors are not artists. Don’t even get me started on that.

What if Aamir had come out, in support of AIB and said that he absolutely loved the roast, then you’d all be celebrating him right?
So, what you want is NOT Freedom Of Speech. 
You want everyone to agree with you. You Don’t Want A Debate.

Your attitude is:
“We Roast. We Funny. You Disagree. You No Cool.”
Isn’t that the same as the Right Wing?

3.
BOSEDKBOSEDKBOSEDK. 
That’s the catch now, isn’t it? The fact that he produced a really funny film that was full of expletives and now he says he isn’t impressed by bad language? How dare he! Haww. 

I know twitter is a medium of 140 characters, and it’s tough to understand anything that can’t be expressed in just that much, so i’m going to try explaining it in 140 characters.

“Delhi Belly is a fictional film. Arpita*, Farida Jalal, Reema Lagoo, Simi Garewal are real people. The Roast was Not Fiction. Huge difference” (I would have liked to add the word ‘Dumbass’ in there but I ran out of characters)

*If you watched the roast on YouTube, you probably missed out on the super crass jokes about Salman Khan’s sister Arpita, who btw, had not signed up for the roast. No prizes for guessing why they edited them out.

Are we really so childish that we think that if someone produced a film with gaalis, he has to enjoy it every time bad language is used?

By that logic, does Rohit Shetty have to jump with joy every time a car gets blown up, even if it happens in real life?

Does everything have to be simplified to such a stupid level?

4. What really gets my goat is how most people, who just can’t seem to have an opinion of their own, are sharing these rather smartly written Open Letters accompanied by their comments like “My Point Exactly” / “Have Lost Respect for Aamir” I mean, give him a break.

The man goes out and actually talks about LGBT rights, risking his conservative fan base. Famous people, some even from the LGBT community haven’t done that. And it doesn’t count if you’re joking about it. If you have the balls, take a stand for the issue. 
The man takes on Powerful Godmen, in a genuine Satire. He makes a film about Dyslexia that actually makes a huge difference to parenting not only for special but all children.
He actually apologises on National Television for having been part of regressive films. He takes on the media and the politicians in Peepli Live. And in almost every episode of Satyamva Jayate, he targets powerful lobbies. 
And then he voices his personal opinion on a fucking ‘roast’ and we lose respect for HIM and can’t stop writing open letters about how we’re disappointed in HIM?

What does that say about US?

Sidharth Bhardwaj Eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns!

Seasoned reality television shows hotshot; Sidharth Bhardwaj was the second contestant to be eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns after merely 3 weeks on the show. After facing a grueling stunt and stiff competition from Sana Khan, Sagarika Ghatge, Rakesh Kumar and Hussain Kuwajerwala, Sidharth could not better the record set by the rest and was shown the door.

Sidharth looked like a prospective winner for this season of Khatron Ke Khiladi: Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns with his fearless attitude and sporting nature. But it takes a lot more than that to survive on the toughest stunt-based show on Indian television where one mistake can turn out to be the one that really counts. And when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Under the tutelage of Rohit Shetty, the fearless bunch keep pushing each other to perform better, advising and instilling motivation at every step of the game.

Always finding a way out when put in difficult situations, whether being tangled with cables in a room filled with water or finding a white snake in a pile of highly dangerous hissing serpents; Sidharth has proved his mettle on the show consistenyl. But he did not anticipate that the other Khiladis will outperform him in the elimination task for this week.

Commenting on his elimination, Sidharth said, “Winning and losing is part and parcel of the game and I will take this loss in my stride. I believed I could win or least reach the final of the show, but you never know how circumstances turn out. Khartron Ke Khiladi – Darr Ka Blockbuster has been a mind-boggling and extremely fun experience, especially with this amazing lot of Khiladis and Rohit Shetty. We had a crazy time on the shoots as well as off it.”

Sidharth’s journey on the show may have been short lived but it has had it’s fair share of ups and downs.

Here’s wishing him all the luck in all his future endeavors.

To find out which Khiladi will impress the stunt maestro Rohit Shetty and who will be the next to bid adieu to the show, keep watching Khatron Ke Khiladi – Darr Ka Blockbuster Returns, every weekend at 9 PM, only on COLORS!

When Sushant got to know about this, he found it very interesting. He immediately asked his team to work out a way to be present for this event.

The college students were very happy to know they could showcase their style in front of the guy who has himself looked so stylish in the dhoti.

Shraddha Kapoor couriers a book to her fan in New York.

Shraddha Kappor definitely keeps in touch with her fans. Especially this girl, Samina, who regularly writes to her.

Samina contacted Shraddha initially on a social networking site and then the two have been regularly keeping in touch via email. 

The girl wrote a message to Shraddha on how she is looking forward to her 16th birthday and if Shraddha can please wish her on this day.

Shraddha is very fond of her and wanted to gift her something. She gave it a lot of thought and then decided to give her something which is precious to her.

After much thinking Shraddha pulled a book out of her shelf which she had kept from her school days.

It was one of Shraddha favourite books while growing up and she had preserved it. However she thought this would be an ideal gift.

She wrote a personal message on the book and sent it to her.

"Samina has been expressing her unconditional love towards me since many years. She has just turned sweet sixteen and I thought of gifting her my book that I have grown up with. I kept it very well and now want her to have it! Just like the book, Samina holds a very special place in my heart. It belongs to her now! "

Rock On 2 to be shot in Shillong?

The producer of Excel entertainment’s Rock On 2, Ritesh Sidhwani is on a location hunt for the film.

While parts of the film are going to be shot in Mumbai, the script demands picturesque locations with lots of mountains as well.

So Ritesh is on a recce and while Shillong was his frist stop, he moves to Cherrapunji next.

The Meghalaya Chief Minister too is keen that the film is shot there.

Ritesh Sidhwani shares, “Dr Mukul M Sangma is really keen that we shoot the Rock On sequel in the state because the film will get this part of the country a lot of attention. He’s promised us full cooperation.”

Shillong is India’s rock capital and they feel that it is an appropriate place to shoot the film.

Rock On is a cult classic and the sequel will feature the epic trio from the first part; Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli. Shraddha Kapoor is going to play the female lead in the film.

Ritesh adds, “The script can lend itself to any picturesque place away from Mumbai and right now Shillong is a hot favourite. I’ll push for it but eventually the logistics have to work out.”

Suzanna supports AIB Roast

With a mother who is half-Russian and half-Ukrainian and a father who is Bengali, actress SuzannaMukherjee has grown up imbibing the best of all the worlds. Probably that's why Suzanna understands and respects both Indian and western cultures as she’s had a taste of both.

When quizzed about the AIB Roast which has become a subject of much discussion, Suzanna explains, “Though I know, in our Indian culture certain language and jokes are not permissible, the fact is, AIB Roast is a form of comedy which is accepted internationally across all cultures, and not meant to be taken seriously as a criticism or insult. It's a kind of humor. In fact the American roast is much worse, for example, like Jeff Ross Roasts America show or Russell Peter’s roasts are more insulting. I think in India, we need to understand the concept of a roast here. Roasts are not insulting or humiliating as some people think it to be but actually a unique way of honouring the person (Roastee), who is getting roasted (subjected to jokes and insult comedy) and the intention is to amuse the audience (consisting mostly of friends, fans, and well-wishers). I don’t think the AIB roast was meant to hurt or offend anybody. I have seen the video and enjoyed it. We live in a democracy and we should be allowed the freedom of speech. In fact, Karan Johar had come up with the disclaimer at the beginning of the show that those who get easily offended may not like the humor and so they should not watch.” 

As for herself, when it comes to being a Roastee, Suzanna laughs, “I would love to be in the audience but when it comes to being roasted for me, I think it will take some time.”
