However, the enthusiasm soon died down after the second wave of the covid-19 pandemic started showing its effect which is now getting out of hand. ## Due to the second wave, films like Sooryavanshi, Thalaivi, Chehre, Love Story, Tuck Jagadish which were slated to release in April, are now postponed indefinitely. And if reports are to be believed, movies scheduled for release in the month of May may also get postponed further. ## According to reports, the union government led by prime minister Narendra Modi is planning to take big steps to curb the speed of the second wave of the covid-19. While the government has already ruled out the complete nationwide lockdown, sources say that the government is seriously considering the strategy of "unlock phase 2" of the last year. ## If this happens, then the theaters will be closed again for the entire month of May or beyond. On the other hand, the exhibitors and theater owners will be hoping that such a decision not be taken as they have already suffered enough and another push might dig them in the deep haul. ## May is the month of Eid and a lot of big summer releases.

He recalls that he discussed Waqt with the two superstars during the time when he was directing both of them in "Aankhen". ## "While we were making Aankhen, I had discussed a play that was written and directed by Aatish Kapadia, with Amit sir and Akshay. They both loved the story and we decided to make this film". ## "When I informed Amitji and Akshay about me turning producer with this film, both of them were willing to waive off their fees, but my partner (on the film) Mr. Manmohan Shetty and I did not agree with it, and paid them their remuneration. But the fact that such big superstars stood by me and were even willing to waive off their fees, was a very touching and heartwarming gesture", says the filmmaker. ## Waqt was made on a budget of INR 16 crores and it proved to be a box office success with around INR 42 crores worldwide gross collection. Apart from producing the film, Vipul Shah also donned a director's hat.

Delhi High Court Summons Filmmakers On SSR's Father's Petition To Ban Films On Late Actor's Life

Mumbai, April 20, 2021: After the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput last year, many filmmakers announced movies on the late actor's life. Among the films that got approval from the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA), "Nyaay: The Justice" was one of them. However, the movie has now got into trouble after SSR's father filed a petition in Delhi High Court to ban the films inspired by the life of his son. ## On Tuesday (April 20), the Delhi High Court issued summons to the makers of a biopic. The HC was ruling on a petition filed by SSR's father, Krishna Kishore Singh, who sought a ban on the film stating that people were trying to use the actor's death for their benefit.## The decision comes a few days after a new teaser of the upcoming film "Nyaay: The Justice" was released. The film is reportedly a tribute to Sushant. The teaser shows an actor named Mahinder Singh talking about his performance in the highly successful film "Cricket" and the relationship he shared with his manager, family members, and friends. ## The petition filed by KK Singh states that people are using Sushant's name to get fame by developing different theories/stories, at the cost of his and his family's reputation. The petition, which was referred to films like Nyay: The Justice, Suicide or Murder: A Star Was Lost and Shashank, also states that none of the filmmakers associated with these projects took KK Singh's consent before going ahead with the projects.## "Nyaay: The Justice" stars Zuber Khan and Shreya Shukla in the lead roles along with Asrani, Shakti Kapoor, Sudha Chandran, Aman Verma, Kiran Kumar, Milind Gunaji, and others in key roles. Directed by Dilip Gulati, and produced by Sarla A. Saraogi, and Rahul Sharma, the movie is slated to release on June 11. ## Stay tuned...

There Will Come A Time When Both Platforms Will Be At The Same Level, Says Aditi Rao Hydari

Actress Aditi Rao Hydari, who is currently seen in the Netflix movie Ajeeb Daastaans, said that she does miss going out to theaters, despite the OTT platforms are doing good to entertain people. She said there is a sense of "magic" in theatres, which has always been there and will never go away.## "I miss it because there's the magic associated with the theatre, there's a whole childhood nostalgia, and it's a very immersive experience. You go there and you become a part of the world there", Aditi told IANS.## However, due to the lockdown last year, the OTT platforms witnessed an exponential rise in terms of new content and subscribers, and Aditi is not wrong when she says that OTTs have been the actor's best friend in many ways. ## "In the lockdown, OTT platforms have been our best friends. With OTT, there has been amazing writing, content, and the way the audience has consumed the content, that's been really incredible. As an actor, there is so much more to do on it, in fact, for directors, writers, and everyone in the industry it has opened a whole new world", she said.## With the rise of OTTs, Aditi feels that there will be a time when both, OTTs and theaters will be at the same level as each platform is powerful in its own way. ## "For writers, directors, actors, it has opened up a new world in terms of stories that one can only make for OTT which is different from (what) one makes for the theatres. Quite often, the theatrical films are larger-than-life and mounted differently. A producer might tell it better, how it is structured. OTT is different because the pressure is different", she says.## On the work front, Aditi will next be seen in the Tamil film "Hey Sinamika", which also stars Dulquer Salmaan, and Kajal Aggarwal, and Tamil-Telugu bilingual movie "Maha Samudram", co-starring Sharwanand, Siddharth, and Anu Emmanuel. While the release date of "Hey Sinamika" is yet to be decided, "Maha Samudram" will release on 19 August 2021. ## Stay tuned...

He is an exception to the norm, a true disruptor. I had always hoped and dreamed that I would get a chance to collaborate with him. To lead a film like 'Anniyan' is a dream come true for any artist. Vikram sir, one of our country's finest talents, an artist who I hugely admire, gave a colossal performance in the original, one that can never be matched.

I found this in the mercurial Ranveer Singh because he is a once-in-a-generation actor who has shown us that he can immortalize a character through his stellar performance. I'm thrilled to make 'Anniyan' for the pan-Indian audience and I'm confident that this powerful story will strike a chord in the hearts of all", Shankar said who is making his comeback in Hindi cinema 20 years his only Hindi directorial, Nayak (2001) that starred Anil Kapoor in the lead. ## Ranveer, on Wednesday (April 14), took to social media and shared a string of pictures having a discussion with the man of the moment himself director Shankar.

Pankaj Tripathi Suggests A Small Film City In Bihar Village

Versatile actor, Pankaj Tripathi who hails from Bihar, has come up with an interesting idea and put forth a suggestion of creating a film-friendly set up in a village near Patna city of Bihar, where people from the Bollywood film industry can shoot for their projects. ## "A film-friendly 'mohalla' or colony is possible with a little bit of funding from the government to create a film panchayat at a well-connected village near Patna, at least on a trial basis for now. The area can hence be marked by filmmakers all across the country to shoot any urban setting scenes they need to for their film, with the maximum help in the form of a solid support system provided by the locals there", says Tripathi. ## The actor also said that the villagers can be trained to work as junior artists in the films shot there, which could be a source of income for them. ## "Locals can be a part of the crew as well as act as junior artistes in films that are shot there. We could try creating a village similar to the likes of Mawlynnong village in Meghalaya, which is known to be the cleanest village of Asia also a tourist spot. I have been to this village and it's a very fascinating place to visit", added Tripathi.## On the work front, Tripathi has several projects in the pipeline including Ranveer Singh-starrer "83", "Mimi", and "Bachchan Pandey", featuring Akshay Kumar. He was last seen in Yash Raj Films' "Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar" starring Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. The movie is currently running in theaters. ## Stay tuned...
