Amitabh Bachchan cancels event in Dubai due to ill health India’s most iconic star-actor Amitabh Bachchan has been feeling a little under the weather lately. He was in hospital for a complete health check-up. And though he has been served an all-clear by the medical experts, the mega-star has decided to take it easy for a while. Keeping this in mind, Mr Bachchan cancelled his appearance at the Sharjah International Book Fair on Wednesday, October 30. A big blow to his fans in the Middle East, many of whom had flown into the Book Fair from distant cities just to see the iconic star speak. A source close to Big B says, “The cancellation can’t be helped. He has been working really hard in the past few years in spite of doctors’ warnings. He has now been given a final warning about his health. If he continues to push himself he may have a serious health lapse. He is now in the mood to relax for a while.” Also Read:  Amitabh Bachchan took to Twitter to apologise to his fans; here’s why

Ajay Devgn - Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s BAIJU BAWRA? Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s decision to go into his next project, a remake of the 1952 classic Baiju Bawra has aroused a whole lot healthy curiosity in the audience. That it would be a musical opus in the grand style of Bhansali’s Devdas goes without saying. The question is who would play the two main protagonists, the musical legend Tansen and the protégée Baiju, who outdoes his mentor thereby incurring his mentor’s jealous wrath. Sources say Bhansali has offered the parts of the mentor and pupil to Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh. While Ranveer is fine with playing the passionate musical prodigy Baiju, Devgn apparently has reservations about playing the legendary Tansen. Sources say he has been there, done it before. “In Vipul Shah’s London Dreams in 2009 Devgn played the jealous musician who feels threatened by his friend Salman Khan’s talent. Devgn is not keen to be seen in the space again,” says an informed source.

Movie Review: Ujda Chaman Over the years, there have been several films that have tackled various conditions that lower a person’s self-esteem like skin colour, obesity, stunted growth etc. Premature balding, however, has rarely been the central plot point of a film. Two very lesser known films like I M 24 [2012], HAIR IS FALLING [2011] etc have dealt with the issue but they sank without a trace. Producer Abhishek Pathak for his directorial debut, UJDA CHAMAN, tackles this idea in the romcom space. So does UJDA CHAMAN manage to entertain and move audiences? Or does it fail to entertain? Let’s analyse. UJDA CHAMAN is the story of a man in search of a life partner. Chaman Kohli (Sunny Singh) is a 30-year-old lecturer in Delhi’s Hansraj College. He has faced acute hair loss in the last five years, affecting his self-esteem and also his marriage prospects. His parents, Shashi Kohli (Atul Kumar) and Sushma Kohli (Grusha Kapoor) put his five-year-old picture in his marriage bio-data and
