Torbaaz Actor Raaj Arora Recalls How Well Sanjay Dutt Bonded With Kids On Flim's Set

Actor Raaj Singh Arora, who is currently seen in the recent Netflix released film Torbaaz, notes how the film's leading actor Sanjay Dutt has a way with children. He recalls how well Dutt bonded with children on the sets of the film while shooting in Kyrgyzstan.## "In the film, Sanjay sir takes up the challenge to protect kids from the shackles of religious terrorism. In fact for the shooting that took place in Kyrgyzstan, we had taken kids from various places all over the country to portray an ethnic mix. Sanjay sir and the kids bonded really well", Raaj who plays cricket coach in the movie said to IANS. ## "After the shooting hours, all of us would play games and engage in various fun activities. One could notice the playfulness of a mega actor then. I am sure that he is a doting father to his kids. The kids did not get intimidated with him, be it the beard, the voice, or the height", Raaj added.## "Having worked with young people a lot, Sanjay sir knew how to create the perfect environment. The kids being kids, at times do not understand what is happening. We soon began to eat and spend most of the time together.

It streams on Netflix on December 11 skipping the originally planned theatrical release due to the covid-19 pandemic.## Stay tuned...

Happy Birthday Sidharth Shukla: Times When 'Bigg Boss 13' Winner Made Headlines in Pandemic Year

The charming actor Sidharth Shukla has turned 40-year-old on his birthday today. Despite the covid-19 challenge, he has been one of the actors who remained the hottest topic in media headlines and social media. The Bigg Boss 13 winner is currently one of the most in-demand actors on Television and he is making sure to grab those opportunities which are coming his way. ## It has been quite a surprising year for his fans as well because the 'Dil Se Dil Tak' actor has never been so open on social media then he has become after Bigg Boss 13, especially, after doing a music video, 'Bhula Dunga' with his dear friend, Shehnaaz Kaur Gill who also happened to be his Bigg Boss 13's housemate. ## Interestingly, Sidharth's association with Bigg Boss did not come to an end and he was invited to 'Bigg Boss 14' as well, in the form of a 'Toofani Senior', along with the previous season's contestants Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan. The show went on air a few months back, on October 3, 2020.## In the midst of that, Sidharth constantly won hearts and media attention through his gestures towards his fans. Here are times when Sidharth made headlines in 2020 - ## Winning the title of Bigg Boss 13 ## Bigg Boss 13 was the most popular season in the history of the reality show, and the one big reason was none other than Sidharth Shukla who remained in the center throughout the show. The actor went through tough during the show. Be it his rift with Rashmi Desai, a never-ending ugly fight with Asim Riaz, and the Tom & Jerry show with Shehnaaz Gill, Sidharth had overcome all the challenges and later on become the winner of the show beating Asim in the finale. His victory was described as one of the best in the Bigg Boss history and we can't argue on this anymore. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Music videos with Shehnaaz Gill ## Sidharth Shukla appeared in two music videos with his 'Bigg Boss 13' co-contestant and now friend, Shehnaaz Gill. Their music video 'Bhula Dunga' by Darshan Raval released in March and 'Shona Shona' sung by Tony Kakkar was out nearly a month back. The two constantly remained in the center stage and their chemistry was the highlight of the show which was loved by all. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## A surprising entry in Bigg Boss 14 as a Toofani Senior ## After setting the high standards in Bigg Boss 13, Sidharth Shukla was invited to Bigg Boss 14 which is currently on air. He remained in the house for nearly 3 weeks for which he was paid a heavy price. Just like the previous season, Sidharth remained on top despite the fact that he wasn't a contestant which speaks the volume of his popularity he has gained. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Never like before Fan interaction gaining spotlight ## The one thing which really comes out as a surprise for everyone is his interaction with fans. He has some heart-touching fan interactions in 2020. He reached out to two of his fans - one to condole her father's demise due to COVID-19 - and the other fan when she wanted a hospital bed for her parent. Sidharth had arranged the bed for the fan, but her parent found another bed in another hospital by that time. ## On the other hand, his fans have also been vocal about him. One such example was when Dharma Productions was celebrating 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania's anniversary and didn't mention Sidharth's name. The fans blasted at Karan Johar for not mentioning his name who played Alia's supposed to be a partner in the movie. His fans also thronged SidNaaz (Sidharth-Shehnaaz) while the duo was shooting in Chandigarh for the music video, Shona Shona. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) ## Roped in for 'Broken But Beautiful 3' ## After various speculations, Sidharth Shukla revealed that he was indeed roped in for Ekta Kapoor's hit show 'Broken But Beautiful season 3' on Alt Balaji and ready for his digital debut. Ekta put up an Instagram post introducing characters Rumi and Agastya, which will be played by Sonia Rathee and Sidharth Shukla respectively in the lead roles. The shooting of the show is currently underway. ## View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sidharth Shukla (@realsidharthshukla) ## Stay tuned...

Durgamati Review: Audience Call Bhumi Pednekar Starrer Disappointing

The much-awaited horror thriller film, Durgamati: The Myth starring Bhumi Pednekar finally premiered on Amazon Prime Video on December 11. The movie is directed by G. Ashok and is an official remake of his own Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Bhaagamathie which starred Anushka Shetty in the lead role. ## While the expectations were high from Durgamati (earlier titled Durgavati), the Hindi remake of Bhaagamathie couldn't reprise the magic which the original film had. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, and Vikram Malhotra, Durgamati has been disappointing largely because it failed to scare people which is its joner. It also stars Arshad Warsi, Jisshu Sengupta, and Mahie Gill in the key roles.## See what people have to say about the movie -## #Durgamati - Disappointing. A ghost story and remake of director Ashok’s Telugu film #Bhaagamathi, which itself was a let down but saved largely due to #AnushkaShetty’s screen presence.

Yograj Singh Axed From Vivek Agnihotri Directorial 'The Kashmir Files' Over Blasphemous Speech During Farmers Protest

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has dropped Yograj Singh, father of former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, from his upcoming film, 'The Kashmir Files', after the actor's speech during the farmers' protest recently. According to Agnihotri, Yograj Singh lost his job as the fallout of an allegedly hateful speech he gave at the ongoing farmer protests in Delhi-NCR. ## "I had cast Mr. Yograj Singh for my film 'The Kashmir Files' for a very prominent role and I had long chats with him. I knew that he has a history but I ignored as I generally do not mix art and artiste. I keep artiste and politics away. When he gave the speech it was shocking, and I cannot tolerate someone talking about women. It is just not about Hindu women or Muslim women but he spoke so badly about women and on top of that he tried to create a hateful decisive narrative", Agnihotri said in a statement. ## Recently, while giving a speech at the ongoing farmer protests in NCR, Yograj Singh reportedly commented on Hindu women saying "their women were sold for two cents. When their women and daughters were abducted by people like Ahmed Shah Durrani and sold off, it was we Sikhs who saved them. These are the people who have betrayed us. This community has been slaves for thousands of years".## Agnihotri added, "I have sent him an official termination letter I don't care what he replies. I am not a kind of commercial filmmaker. I make films with a purpose. I make films that expose the truth and I don't want this person to become part of the truth. Whatever he said, it was hateful and this kind of people just want to create violence".## Talking about the film 'The Kashmir Files', it narrates the story of Kashmiri Pandit Refugees and based upon the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus carried out by Islamists in the early 1990s. The film was originally announced for August 15, 2020, release but postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic. Now, the first schedule of The Kashmir Files started this week in Mussoorie. It stars Anupam Kher in the lead role. ## "Presenting The Kashmir Files. Next year, same time, on our 73rd Independence anniversary, we will bring you the unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri Hindus. Please bless our team as it's not an easy story to tell," Agnihotri had tweeted while announcing the movie with the poster. ## Presenting #TheKashmirFiles Next year, same time, on our 73rd Independence anniversary, we will bring you the unreported story of the most tragic and gut-wrenching genocide of Kashmiri Hindus.
