Vidhi Pandya Wants Tejasswi Prakash To Win Bigg Boss 15

Mumbai, October 20 - The latest episode of Bigg Boss 15 came as a shock for the housemates as Vidhi Pandya and Donal Bisht have been evicted from the show during the mid-week eviction. This development came as a result of not contributing enough to the show. ## While things never get easy in the show, many housemates found breaking Bigg Boss rules, which resulted in punishment by Bigg Boss in which the housemates had to evict any two contestants who they think have made the least contribution to the show. That's when the housemates ended up voting out Donal and Vidhi for not being able to catch hold the grip of the show.## Vidhi Pandya, after coming out from the house, explained the reason which led to her eviction. "See, I am an emotional person and I never did anything for the camera. In fact, I am lazy to think so much about strategies to be in the show and maybe not a great entertainer in terms of dancing or doing fights or getting into arguments or being part of gossip or just for the sake of getting the action. I prefer to be myself and that is what I did in the show", she said.## Vidhi was on good terms with some of the housemates such as Jay Bhanushali, Karan Kundrra, Umar Riaz, and Tejasswi Prakash. When asked about who could no longer be in the show, Vidhi said, "Tejasswi Prakash, as she is playing the game very nicely and I really want to see her winning the game". ## "In fact, Vishal Kotian is also doing well and I had good terms with him. But he is more into making strategies. In fact, this is turning out to be negative for him, as not only the audience but housemates also know what actually he is as a person", she added. ## While housemates voted out Vidhi and Donal on the basis of not doing much for the show, Vidhi, however, thinks that there are a couple of housemates who are also not doing much but still are in the show. "Simba Nagpal and Akasa don’t seem like much involved in the game. Of, course I have no personal enmity but as far the game is concerned, Simba is least involved. In fact, he is not performing well in the task", she said. ## "Akasa is also not interacting much with other housemates. She has just good equations and friendship with Pratik. So, they are in fact lagging behind me in the entertainment aspect", she added. ## Stay tuned...

Rohit Shetty - Ranveer Singh's 'Cirkus' To Come Out On Diwali 2022?

Mumbai, October 20 - Filmmaker Rohit Shetty is currently busy in promotional activities of his upcoming biggie "Sooryavanshi", which is scheduled to release on 5 November on the occasion of Diwali.

According to reports, Rohit Shetty is thinking to bring the film during Diwali 2022 weekend as he thinks it is the perfect film to entertain the audiences. ## "Rohit and his team are of the opinion that Cirkus makes for a perfect Diwali release as it's an out and out comedy. The ones who have seen the rushes inform that Rohit has created a fairy tale Disney world that isn't seen before in Hindi films. It's a comic caper with solid visuals, and the team is planning to bring it during Diwali 2022 weekend", according to a report by Bollywood Hungama. ## The report further claimed that Rohit Shetty and his team want to maintain proper space between the films of Ranveer Singh, who has 3 releases in the next 5 months, starting with Sooryavanshi on Diwali, 83 on Chrismas, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar on February 25. The filmmaker is clear that there shouldn't be overexposure of Singh's films that can hamper the prospects of the film. ## Meanwhile, Cirkus is the first outright comedy film for Rohit Shetty outside the Golmaal franchise. It is said to be the official adaptation of the 1982 movie Angoor which was based on William Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors. The official announcement of the release date of the film will be made after the Sooryavanshi release. ## Stay tuned...

The Marvels Director Blames Captain America For Thanos Snap In Avengers: Infinity War

Los Angeles, October 20 - The "Captain Marvel" sequel "The Marvels" director Nia DaCosta has a different take on the events of Thanos causing half of life in the universe to dust out of existence in Avengers: Infinity War by just a Snap. While the Marvel fans found Thanos responsible for "The Snap", "The Marvels" director explains Captain America may actually be at fault. ## Speaking to Inverse (via comicbook), Nia DaCosta explains how Captin America was at fault when the time came to decide between saving Vision or sacrificing an entire universe to Thanos, the Mad Titan. ## "Something I like to say a bit flippantly about Captain America is that the Snap is all his fault because he was trying to do his best, trying to do the right thing", the director told. "There is a world in which he's a villain because, at the end of the day, he should have just sacrificed Vision (to save the universe)".## "He chose one robot's life, albeit a sentient one, over literally the entire universe. There's a sort of anti-hero in that if you want to look at it through that lens. People would say I'm crazy for thinking that way, but there's something connected to the journey of the anti-hero and the hero", she added.## In Avengers: Infinity War, Vision had offered to sacrifice himself and mind stone to keep Thanos away from adding it to his Infinity Gauntlet. However, Steve Rogers aka Captain America denied his proposal by famously saying that the Avengers weren't in the business of trading lives. He then teamed up with Black Panther in Wakanda for one last stand against the invading aliens, only to lose as Thanos did kill Vision to claim the Mind Stone. ## Stay tuned...
