Vijay Galani ready to fight with Salman Khan
01 week ago
We had reported a few days that Vijay Galani, the producer of the 2010 Salman Khan-starrer ‘Veer’ has been banned from filmmaking by FWICE until he settles his dispute with Salman over remuneration. The producer had incurred the superstar’s wrath for allegedly not paying his dues amounting to nearly Rs 12 crore.
After weeks of keeping silent on the issue, now Vijay Galani, a member of the Association Of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) has hit back strongly at the allegations of wrongdoing. He stated in a press release that he denied Salman’s claim and said there was no such evidence or document brought on records of the Association to substantiate it. He added that inadvertently the FWICE had illegally issued a ‘non-cooperation’ statement against him which is against the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the producers’ body and the FWICE. “AMPTPP has already intimated FWICE for withdrawal of the directive illegally issued by FWICE,” the release stated.
Galani further said that even Ratan Jain, president of AMPTPP has said the FWICE cannot issue non-cooperation directives unilaterally. AMPTPP has come up in support for the producer and even directed FWICE to lift the ban on Galani as the ban is against the MOU between FWICE and Producers' Bodies.
Mukesh Bhatt, the chairman of the joint core committee of producers stated that both parties have been asked to arrange a meeting until the non-cooperation is withdrawn.
Well.... Not many know the fact that Salman and Vijay Gaglani came into contact way back in 1992 when he offered Salman the lead role in 'Suryavanshi'. The movie didn't create much noise but Salman found pal in Vijay... Due to his closeness to Salman, Vijay was able to produce 'Veer' which again failed at the box-office.
Salman on occasion has left his dues when he has found that the producer is not able to pay due to losses.

The ‘Veer’ producer challenges the ban imposed on Salman
01 week ago
We had reported a few days back how Vijay Galani, the producer of the 2010 Salman Khan-starrer ‘Veer’ had incurred the superstar’s wrath for allegedly not paying his dues amounting to nearly Rs 12 crore. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had even issued a ban on him from producing any movies until he paid up.
Now the producer, a member of the Association Of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) has hit back strongly at the allegations of wrongdoing. He stated in a press release that he denied Salman’s claim and said there was no such evidence or document brought on records of the Association to substantiate it.

We hope the issue is resolved soon!
Christian Protest Over ´Hosanna´ : A.R. Rahman, Javed Akhtar & Fox Clarify!
02 weeks ago
AR Rahman made news with his latest compositions in the film Ek Deewana Tha, however an excess of anything can spell doom, and the same is the case with the track 'Hosanna' which has been making waves in the music world.
The music track is popular and it seems to grow in popularity with each passing day, the Christian Secular Forum (CSF) in Mumbai has objected to the use of the word ‘Hosanna’. They claim the word to be a sacred term used only within prayer songs among Christians and Jews.
We are very proud to once again associate with Mr. A. R. Rahman and Javed Sahab for the music score and lyrics of our film Ekk Deewanna Tha which releases on the 17th of February.
The Tamil and Telegu versions of the film (which too were directed by Gautham Menon) were released in 2010 in which the same song which is currently in the news, Hossana, was used.
We, Mr. Rahman, Gautham Menon, Javed Sahab and all involved in the film are therefore extremely surprised to have heard from Mr. Joseph Dias of the CSF on their views now, on our song.
Mr. Rahman said "As with any film project I work on, I had spent several months researching before composing/writing all the songs for Ekk Dewaana Tha and had consulted friends who are Christian in particular about the use of the word "Hosanna" in this song. The song was a sensation when it was released in the South a couple of years ago and it went on to win all possible music awards and was well received by all communities! Therefore I am deeply concerned about the sentiments of all those who appear to be hurt by this song"
Javed Sahab said " When we write lyrics with great composers such as Mr. Rahman, who is one of the most respectable human beings I have had the pleasure of working with, the intention is never to insult any religion, why would we?"
Fox Star Spokesperson says "Our organisation, our music partners Sony Music Entertainment, our Producers and all of us are responsible organisations and our view is that more often than not creativity, freedom of speech and expression in art form are stifled by some people who have their own agendas. We have replied to Mr. Jospeh Dias today by letter."

John cheated on Bipasha, for Priya?
02 weeks ago
John Abraham and Bipasha Basu's was one couple in Bollywood that never tried to keep their relationship under sheets. However, later the news of their break-up spread like a forest fire. Many reports claimed it to be true, but the duo never spoke about it. Now, with the latest news doing rounds that the actor married Priya in USA. His fans are wondering when John met the lady. Here’s an answer to the curiosity.
According to reports, John met Priya at the gym, where he used to work out with Bipasha. It is surprising to know that John and Bipasha used to visit their gym together in Mumbai and both of them knew Priya, who used to also come there to workout.
According to sources, Priya knew John since 2010 and initially, they used to just smile and greet each other. However, later the chemistry between the two grew and went unnoticed by Bipasha. Bips insisted on John marrying her and settling down, but the actor never showed any interest in the wedlock.
Bipasha knew the reason behind the rough patch in her relationship, but now with the news of John getting married to Priya, will make Bips wonder about it.
Wonder how Bipasha will react on the situation?

Not shy to be called old: Akshay Kumar
01 month ago
After a gap of seven years, Akshay Kumar will return to action in the sequel to 2010 hit Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai. The actor, who was last seen doing stunts in Khakhee (2004), says that at the age of 44, he doesn’t care if people call him old. In fact, he claims that that he feels much fitter in
his forties.
“I don’t feel shy to be called old,” says Akshay adding, “In fact, I feel much younger. Also, the speed at which I run, jump and do all kinds of action has become faster than what I used to do 20 years back.”
The actor, who made his mark in the industry as an action hero in movies such as Sangharsh (1999) and Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994), also established himself as a performer with a knack for comedy in Hera Pheri (2000), Garam Masala (2005), Singh is Kinng (2008) and Housefull (2010).
But Akshay confesses that inspite of doing comedy for several years, his love for action never faded. “Even though I was not doing any stunts or action in films, I was not at all away from it. Whenever I return home after shooting, I spend a huge amount of time in the gym, practicing all my stunts,” says Akshay.
The actor reveals that his focus next year will be on bringing back the action.
“I am doing all heavy-duty action film. Now, I have even doubled my practice,” says Akshay, showing his bruised palm.

Bollywood A $25 Billion Industry
01 month ago
According to a report on India’s Entertainment Economy in The Hollywood Reporter, the Indian media and entertainment industry registered revenues of $16.3 billion in 2010 and is expected to cross $25 billion by 2014. The report says, “Growth is expected from the expansion of multiplexes in smaller cities, investments by foreign studios, the growing popularity of niche movies and the emergence of digital and ancillary revenue streams.”
The Indian film industry produces more than 1,000 films every year in more than 20 languages. Almost 90 per cent of revenues are derived from local films leaving English and foreign films that make up the remaining 10 per cent. With 3.3 billion tickets sold annually, India also has the highest number of theatre admissions. The report predicts that multiplex screens are expected to double from 900 to 1,775 screens in the next five years.
