    When Bollywood unofficially remade ‘Maula Jatt’ with Dharmendra and Shatrugan Sinha

    Blockbuster Lollywood film Muala Jatt starring Sultan Rahi and Mustafa Qureshi is a cult Punjabi language action-musical film directed by Younis Malik and produced by Sarwar Bhatti.

    This movie belongs to a genre which represents the rural culture of Pakistani central Punjab. Its success set the trend of action films being popular in Pakistan and cemented Sultan Rahi as Lollywood’s leading hero.

    Maula Jatt met with a ban not long after its release from the establishment of the time due to its violent content. However, the producer was able to acquire a stay order. The stay order not only gave the film a 2-and-a-half-year run time in cinemas but also helped the film make history as the first Punjabi film to have done so.

    Now its official remake is releasing across the country on October 13th starring the biggest superstars of the country such as Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Humaima Malick among others.

    ‘Cultural shock’: Kangana Ranaut reveals Mumbai men split bills on dates, Delhi men pay for both

    Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut recently appeared on the YouTube Channel, Curly Tales’ show ‘Sunday Brunch’, where the Gangster diva revealed her observation about men from different Indian states.

    Ranaut shared that when she was new in Mumbai as a model, she was slightly shocked to see how men in Mumbai ask to split the bills on dates which was a culture shock for her as she is from Manali. Earlier she also did theater and modelling in Delhi and no man ever asked her to pay the bills on dates.

    Kangana mentioned that in the initial days of her career, she used to live with 5-6 other girls as a paying guest when she had a limited amount of money. When she was asked how her food choices used to be in those days, the actress said that for her Delhi was a very different experience. She said that friends of friends or their boyfriends used to often take them out on rides and pay for their food too. She added that though they used eat very little, they often visited fancy places. Kangana added that when she started earning, she too used to pay at times, but there was no stress about paying. The actress said that in Mumbai, things were different.

    She said, “But when I came to Mumbai, even if you go on a date, you have to Dutch. So this was very new to me, it was a bit of a culture shock. Even in Chandigarh I never paid on a date. But in Mumbai everybody is so practical that even if you are on a date you have to pay equal. If you have water then you pay for it. I think it’s fine. I don’t think it’s not cool, it’s cool.”

  • Video: When Will Smith slapped a reporter for kissing him in public

    Hollywood star Will Smith shocked everyone when he recently slapped Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards’ live broadcast.  

    Before presenting an award at the Oscars 2022, Chris joked about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, looking like ‘GI Jane 2’. This enraged the Aladin star who stormed the stage, lapping Chris and warning him to keep his wife’s name out of his ‘f*cking mouth’. 

    The confrontation between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars has been debated around the world in the days since. 

    However the Oscars 2022 incident was not his first slap in public. 

    Back in 2012, during the premiere of Men In Black 3, the 53-year-old actor had raised his hand on a red carpet reporter who tried to kiss him on the cheek. Yes, you read that right! Later, the reporter turned out to be a prankster named Vitalii Sediuk. 

    Smith, enraged, drew away from the man, raising the back of his left hand and making contact with the reporter’s chin. “Hey, man, what the hell is your problem?” Smith said as he walked away and added, “he tried to kiss me on my mouth”. 

    Back then, the actor described the encounter as ‘just awkward’. While talking to David Letterman about the incident, he shared, “He says, ‘I’m your biggest fan, can I have a hug?’ So I go to give this joker a hug, and he tries to lean in and kiss me!”

    ‘Shah Rukh kept his distance from Hrithik’: Karan Johar opens up about egos and negativity on K3G’s sets

    Bollywood director Karan Johar has recently spilled the beans on the real equation between the cast on the sets of his blockbuster movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

    While opening up about the negativity on K3G’s set, Karan mentioned in his autobiography An Unsuitable Boy, that the atmosphere on the sets of the movie was not at all welcoming. The director also revealed that actors Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Kajol were keeping their distance from Hrithik Roshan, after the latter’s mega-success in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.

    When Karan Johar Addressed The Negativity On The K3G Set & Reveals How The Whole Cast Ignored Hrithik Roshan On The Sets Of K3G

    Talking more about the incident a quote from Karan’s book read, “It was unfair because he was too junior, and Shah Rukh was already such a big star. But that was a phase when one or two of Shah Rukh’s films had gone wrong and the media had started projecting Hrithik up there.”

    He continued, “The negativity that crept in was not justified or correct, and it was really sad. I felt Hrithik was the only one during the course of the shooting who needed a little hand-holding. See, the Bachchans didn’t have that equation with him. Shah Rukh was a bit distant at that time because of everything that was happening. Kajol was Team Shah Rukh.”

    Karan, explaining how he had to make Hrithik more comfortable throughout the shoot said, “I felt I needed to hold his hand a bit. And we developed a really good friendship. We got close to each other he was a bit of a lost child in this whole lot. And Hrithik, anyway, is slightly awkward around people. He’s not the most people-friendly person. Now he’s become a lot better.”

    Karan is currently working on his next project Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan. The movie is set to release on 10th February 2023.

    Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry has welcomed the Australian cricket team to Pakistan after they confirmed their tour to Pakistan for the first time in 24 years. Australia will play a full-fledged series in three Tests, three ODIs and a solitary T20I on their tour starting March 4.

    The minister also recommended the Australian team to try desi food in Lahore and Karachi.

    Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “Welcome to Pakistan a beautiful country of ours, May you enjoy your trip and do try Our very Desi food in Karachi and Lahore.”

    Rawalpindi will host the tour-opening first Test, swapping with Karachi, which will now host the second Test from March 12.

    The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will be the venue for the final Test.

    The schedule has been revised to ease logistical and operational challenges as well as to avoid Pakistan Day rehearsals, which usually commence in Islamabad in the second week of March.

    The two cricket boards have also agreed that the Australia Test side will complete their isolation in Australia, before arriving in Islamabad on February 27 on a chartered flight. After a one-day room isolation, they will hold training sessions at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.

    Australia’s white-ball players are expected to arrive in Lahore on March 24 following isolation in Australia. After a one-day isolation upon arrival, they will integrate with other members of the side and travel to Islamabad for the first ODI in Rawalpindi on March 29.
