“Having Masaba was the best decision of my life” - Neena Gupta

Image
On November 2, 1989, actress Neena Gupta gave birth to her daughter Masaba whose father the legendary West Indian cricketer Vivian Richards was not married to Neena. By becoming a single mother, Neena sent shock waves across the conservative corridors of the Indian entertainment industry. Looking back the  Badhaai Ho actress has no regrets about her decision. However she wishes Masaba had a father at home to share Neena’s parenting responsibilities. “Having Msabaa is the best decision of my life. But if I had to live my life again I’d want to have a family and a husband to support my parenthood. I’d want the child’s father with me. Not so far away.” However Neena is thankful for her daughter. “What I’ve got is most precious, Sure, I made sacrifices. But it’s all worth it. Masaba is the best thing to happen to my life.” In an interview with me in 2008 when Neena got married to Delhi-based Vivek Mehra, she had said to me, “Much as I'm thrilled with the new developments in my lif

Dongri to Dubai, Farhan Akhtar's series on Dawood Ibrahim, to resume shooting after monsoon?

Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s production venture Dongri To Dubai will chronicle the life of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and adapted from Hussain Zaidi’s book "Dongri to Dubai: Six Decades" of the Mumbai Mafia, has been constantly hitting the roadblock since the time the shooting began. Featuring Avinash Tiwary, Kay Kay Menon, Jitin Gulati, Amyra Dastur, and Kritika Kamra and directed by Shujaat Saudagar, the show went on the floor just before the pandemic wreaked havoc. In mid-May 2020 the show’s set at Madh island Mumbai was demolished as it was unused during the lockdown period. The makers finally reconstructed the set in January 2021, seven months after they pulled it down due to a pandemic. But in March, the director tested positive for Coronavirus forcing the entire cast and crew to go under isolation. It is now heard that the shooting will begin only after the monsoons. A source reveals, “The set which was dismantled at Madh island was rebuilt at the same pl

No OTT for Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi debut

Image
There is a buzz in Bollywood’s corridors that Karan Johar and Dharma Productions are negotiating with a major OTT platform for the streaming rights of  Liger , Vijay Deverekonda’s Bollywood debut film. False! A source very close to the development told me. “There is no way Vijay’s debut will go digital. Karan Johar has made the Telugu star a promise that his Bollywood debut would be no less than spectacular. Liger  would release only in theatres and on the same level and volume of theatres and screens as Akshay Kumar’s  Sooryavanshi ,” a source close to Karan Johar informs me. It’s not as though Karan Johar is opposed to digital releases. “He is all for it. But content for OTT from Dharma would be very different from the big-screen projects. So no, Liger won’t be released on the streaming platforms although the amount being offered by the digital platform is what a Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan film would normally get.” In Liger, Deverakonda turns into a full-fledged action star

Bellbottom can be another Rs. 100 crore grosser for Akshay Kumar, feels trade; but terms and conditions apply

Image
The release of the much awaited film, Bellbottom , is less than a month away. Two weeks ago, the makers of the Akshay Kumar starrer announced that the action thriller would release in cinemas on July 27. The announcement happened at a time when the Covid-19 cases were steadily reducing. The Maharashtra government had announced that those cities and districts that fall under Level 1 and Level 2 will be permitted to open cinemas. Other states too seemed to be relaxing restrictions. Hence, it was expected that almost everything will open up by July 27. Sadly, in the last 10 days, the news surrounding the Delta Plus variant has made the governments cautious. The Maharashtra government has done away with Level 1 and Level 2 and reintroduced certain curbs. The trade, industry and fans are now wondering if enough cinemas would be open by July 27 to release Bellbottom . Possible box office outcome of Bellbottom We asked trade experts what they feel about its potential at the box office, pro
