Actress Kritika Kamra, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming series ‘Bambai Meri Jaan’, has spilled beans on her character of Habiba, the youngest and the only sister among Dara Kadri’s siblings. The actress’s character of Habiba makes for a good contrast in the show as she stands out as a bold and confident woman who breaks away from the stereotypical construct of a woman in such a setting, to make her voice heard with impact.
Sharing the dimensions of her part, Kritika said: “Habiba is a woman of many shades. She is stubborn like her father, courageous like Dara and is fiercely loyal like him. At the same time, being the youngest and the only woman among the siblings. She idolises her brother Dara and shares a special bond with him which influences his decisions and actions as well.”

The trailer of Bambai Meri Jaan is out. The makers released the explosive new trailer of the new series directed by Shujaat Saudagar, and starring Kay Kay Menon, Avinash Tiwary, Kritika Kamra in pivotal roles.
Bambai Meri Jaan takes viewers back to the city of Bombay in the 1960s, as it introduces a world of gang wars, guns and deceit, at the core of which lies the relationship between a duty-bound police officer father and his gangster son.

The entire cast of Rensil D'Silva's eagerly-awaited Ungli has been seen going around showing the middle finger to whoever cares to look.
Rensil says it is an act of defiance expressing the indignance and contempt that the film's characters feel for the corruption all around them.
Alas, the censor board isn't sporting enough to see the lighter side of the finger. They've chopped off at least two shots of the characters flashing their middle finger.
The middle finger has always been a point of dispute for the censor board. Recently, in Abhishek Sharma's The Shaukeens, Dimple Kapadia's middle-finger had to be chopped off from the screen at the last minute as it was found to be objectionable.
Curiously, the Censor Board Of Film Certification (Cbfc) had no problems with Kareena Kapoor showing the finger to Saif Ali Khan in last week's release Happy Ending.

Karan Johar's next production Ungli and Hrithik Roshan's film Bang Bang will be having a unique association this week. While Hrithik Roshan starrer Bang Bang is all set to hit the silver screen this week, the film will be accompanied by the trailer of Karan Johar's next production Ungli. The Dharma Productions' film which will see Karan Johar coming together for the first time with Emraan Hashmi and Kangna Ranaut is finally slated to release next month. Ungli, which initially was slated for an early 2014 release, got postponed.

However, director Rensil D'Silva had a different story to tell. He maintained that the release was postponed because he and Karan had decided to shoot two more songs for the film.

Could we hope for a Happy Ending to this story at least? So far, Saif and Kareena together on screen before or after marriage have spelt no magic at the box-office. They are coming together again, now in Raj Nidimoru & Krishna Dk's Happy Ending, though Kareena will feature only in a cameo. Confirming this, co-director Raj Nidimoru says Kareena won't appear for a song only. "Saif and Kareena have scenes together. And we're planning to shoot a song as well." While Raj is unwilling to reveal any more details, we understand from sources that Kareena's role has been written into Happy Ending as an afterthought. Says the source, "Saif, who is the film's producer, wanted Kareena to be part of the film when she visited Saif on location in Detroit. As luck would have it, Raj and Krishna knew exactly where to fit Kareena into the plot." Interestingly, Preity Zinta...

Kabir Khan, whose last film Ek Tha Tiger was about the life of a Raw agent, is all set to cast Saif Ali Khan in a film about post 26/11 counter-terrorism.
The film is to be written by Hussain Zaidi, the prominent crime writer whose scrupulously researched books have earlier been the basis of Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday and Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala.
This wouldn't be the first film Saif would be doing on global terrorism. He has earlier done Rensil D'Silva's Kurbaan where he played a terrorist. In Kabir's film that Sajid Nadiadwala will produce, Saif crosses over to the other side.
Says a source, "Saif plays a counter-terrorist deputed to tackle a post-26/11 scenario. It's a kind of extension to Salman Khan's Raw agent's role in Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger. But the politics of this film would be far more topical."
