Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s First Choice For Kabir Singh Wasn’t Shahid Kapoor Or Kiara Advani! ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Sandeep Reddy Vanga made his directorial debut in Bollywood with Kabir Singh. The film starred Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in lead roles and stirred controversy over its alleged misogynist content. And while we know Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra were approached earlier, scroll below for another pair that was in consideration, but we had no idea!
Kabir Singh was a major blockbuster at the Indian box office. It would be safe to say that the romantic drama grabbed a lot of eyeballs over its controversial content labeled as toxic masculinity, which pulled the audiences to the theatres. In addition, its jukebox, including songs like Bekhayali and Kaise Hua, made it to every playlist on the loop.

The interviewer was Rj Anirudh Chawla who said “Lataji wanted it to be a tribute to all the people” associated with her since she sang her first playback song in 1945, till 2000, and of course, those who contributed to her long and illustrious musical journey of over 75 years.
“I have now written a book on that interview of Lataji, ‘Tere Sur Aur Mere Geet’, and it will be released on Friday, to coincide with the National Cinema Day being celebrated on October 13,” Chawla said.

Three-fourth of his 88-year-long life was spent in acting and of these, six and a half decades, over half, had Dev Anand playing the lead (romantic) role, even as his peers and even several of his leading ladies had moved on or out. In the process, Dev Anand ended up being paired against at least three generations of heroines, if not four, as he transitioned from his early days where his female co-lead was the bigger star to a time when most actresses were keen on working with him as he sauntered from success to success with that charming demeanour and the winning smile.
While most of his early heroines, say, Kamla Kotnis, who was cast against him in his debut “Hum Ek Hai” (1946), Kamini Kaushal, the heroine of his first hit “Ziddi” (1948), Khursheed Bano or Nimmi or Shakila will only be familiar to hardcore film buffs or movie historians,...

Dev Anand was forever on our TV screens. My mother and aunts were huge fans. But my mother also had bundles of Filmfare magazines, and large black discs of gramophones with beautiful covers of Indian actors and actresses.
Her favourite was Dilip Kumar and a close second was Dev Anand. Dev Anand lit up the screen with his perfect groomed hair, perfectly fitted clothes and the aura he gave off of wealth and sophistication other stars of his time lacked. Dev Anand could be playing an alcoholic and he would have not a single hair out of place like in “Sharabi” (1964).
When I went to Government College University Lahore for my MPhil, my mother’s response was: “Dev Anand went to Government College.” How cool was I!
Dev Anand did his BA in English from the college – and fell in love with a classmate too, according to his autobiography, but...

Kabir Singh
Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani, Suresh Oberoi,Arjan Bajwa, Kamini Kaushal
Written & Directed by Sandeep Vanga
Remakes, more often than not, disappoint. This one doesn’t. Kabir Singh doesn’t quite better its precursor, the astonishing game-changing Telugu film Arjun Reddy. And really Shahid Kapoor is no patch on Vijay Deverakonda, who sweated, bled and urinated (literally) into his despicably misogynistic character, investing into this weird thoroughly reprehensible child-man a kind of contemporary resonance that makes for a bizarre blend of Devdas, James Dean and all the rebels without a pause that we’ve encountered before and after Bachchan’s Angry Young Man.
The question is, Kabir Singh (nee Arjun Reddy) ko gussa kyon aata hai? Not unlike Naseeruddin Shah’s Albert Pinto, Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh is a very troubled livid man, threatening, swearing, drinking, and fornicating his way through a life and support system. It...

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is set to conquer again with his upcoming Eid bonanza Bharat, which is making all the right noise. Before watching the movie on 5th June 2019, let?s remember our first ?Bharat?.
Born in Abbottabad, a town in the North-West Frontier Province, now in Pakistan, Harikishan Giri Goswami aka Manoj Kumar urf Bharat stayed as a refugee in Delhi when he was around 10 after the Partition. A fascination towards one of India?s most influential freedom fighter Bhagat Singh took seed when a friend Surinder Chawla, narrated the story of the legend to the young Harikishan Giri Goswami (Manoj Kumar). The enthusiasm of the kid resulted in a stage play on Shaheed Bhagat Singh in which the young Manoj Kumar managed that trademark Bhagat Singh hat but stage fear ruined the child?s dream but the passion to act one day and respect for Bhagat Singh and motherland ? India remained intact.

New Delhi, Oct 28: Veteran actress Kamini Kaushal is deeply disturbed by the fact that despite "Neecha Nagar" being the first Indian film to get the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, it was not mentioned in the 100 years celebrations of Indian cinema presented at the prestigious film fest in French Riviera this year.
