Tabu Was Once Rumored To Be In Love With Nagarjuna So Much So That She Lived In Hyderabad ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Tabu is one of the few actresses of Hindi Cinema who have been unfortunate in love and probably have learned their lesson in the hardest way. The actress was once rumored to be in a relationship for a long time with South Indian superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna but decided to take a step back when she realized that he might not marry her ever.
Nagarjuna, on the other hand, was happily married to his second wife Amala, who was also a Telugu star and had done quite a few films with him. However, when he starred in films like Aavida Maa Aavide, Ninne Pelladata, and Sisindri, the on-screen pair instantly hit it off, and they created quite a friendship.
Some say that it escalated into love quickly, while others believe they were mere gossip.

Amazon Prime’s latest offering, Dhootha, chronicles the story of an ambitious journalist, Sagar Verma (Naga Chaitanya Akkineni), who joins a major newspaper publication as a chief editor. Sagar considered himself Dhootha, the messenger who brings the truth to people. The irony of the situation was that Sagar was a corrupt journalist who would go to great lengths to secure his victory. Also, Sagar got the chief editor position by manipulating his superior against Charles, the journalist who was supposed to succeed in the role. Sagar told everyone that Charles wasn’t a great fit for the job, as he was mentally unstable. Sagar had it all: wealth, power, and fame, but his perfect life took a nosedive when a newspaper clipping predicted the death of his dog. At first, Sagar made it out to be some kind of silly prank, but soon, the prediction written on the paper became a reality.

Laal Singh Chaddha
Starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, Mona Singh
Directed by Advait Chandan
Once in a while, in this imperfect world, we get a near-perfect film about flawed characters trying to stay on the straight and narrow path. Actor-turned-screenwriter Atul Kulkarni’s adaptation of Robert Zemeckis’ 1994 classic Forrest Gump is every bit as charming disarming, and enchanting as the original, and then some more.
Some characters, especially that of the heroine, is re-written to suit current times. But the spirit of innocence and faith remains intact. Through the naïve uncorrupted eyes of Laal Singh Chaddha, we get a world-view of history as it unfolds from the Partition to the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Forrest Gump (1994) re-releasing in 2022 in an Indianized adaptation with Aamir Khan leading the cast with Kareena Kapoor is a big deal and sets the audiences expectations sky high. The moment Aamir Khan announces a film, the audience immediately takes a note of it and eagerly awaits to experience what Aamir has to offer. It is reported that Aamir has been associated with the project for more than a decade. Aamir Khan usually does one film at a time and completely gets sucked into the character and the project. Most of his films have been critically and commercially successful barring a few.

A short way into “Laal Singh Chaddha,” the Indian adaptation of “Forrest Gump” from Aamir Khan Productions and Viacom18 Studios, the film shows its true colors. After an opening sequence that follows a CGI feather — just like the one in Robert Zemeckis’ 1994 film — we meet our hero Laal (Aamir Khan), an amiable Sikh man who boards a train with small red box in hand. As Laal begins chatting with an uninterested seatmate, audiences will likely be tempted to take in the “Forrest Gump” of it all, ready for him to crack open a classic Indian mithai box and offer sweets to his fellow passengers.
The box, it turns out, is full of gol gappe. Not sandesh or barfi or soan papdi or any other sweet, but the crisp rounds of hollow bread that Indians crack open and fill with peas, potatoes, seasoning, and delicious, spicy water that looks like it came straight from the gutter.

Based on their mostly unfortunate track record, with a few commendable exceptions, it seems almost justifiably instinctual to decry any company’s intent to pursue English-language remakes of celebrated titles in other tongues and from other geographical settings.
But when the opposite phenomenon occurs, and a filmmaker abroad takes on a new version of a Hollywood property, the resulting effort can turn out just as disappointing.
Enter “Laal Singh Chaddha,” the Indian reimagining of Robert Zemeckis’ “Forrest Gump,” a financially successful and Oscar-winning drama that has lost its luster in the years since it was released in 1994, the more its blatantly questionable tropes are reexamined.

EntertainmentThe announcement for the proposed strike has reportedly come from the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce.Digital Native Theatre- 750x500.jpgImage for representation In a shocking development, an announcement has come in from the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce that the theatres across the two Telugu-speaking states – Andhra and Telangana – would be shut down from March onwards in protest against the exorbitant charges imposed by the digital service providers. Speaking about this matter, the General Secretary of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, Muthyala Ramdoss pointed out that at present the distributors are shelling out up to Rs 20,000 per week for a film for this purpose and the amount is collected from the exhibitor or DSPs. The proposed strike is in protest against this, we hear. With the Tfcc announcing the strike, the industry bigwigs are sure to do all within their power to thwart it by amicable settlement. This is the only plausible way out as several high budget and big star value films are gearing up for the summer release when the strike is set to begin. More importantly, this time it would not just be theatre shut down but all production related work will also come to a standstill. Some of the movies that are likely to hit the silver screens are Mahesh Babu’s Bharath Ane Nenu, Ram Charan’s Rangasthalam, Allu Arjun’s Naa Peru Surya Naa Illu India, Rajinikanth’s 2.0, Naga Chaitanya’s Savyasachi etc. It may be mentioned here that the last time the Telugu film industry went on a strike was way back in 2010 when the dialogues between the Telugu Film Producers Council and the Film Employees Federation failed regarding the wage issue. With the strike set to happen three months away from now, there is a strong possibility of this being averted with the intervention some industry biggies as some big films are slated for release this summer.
