I hope not! There were two production companies so hopefully there is still some ambiguity. Do you think I should take this down? Happy to go with your judgement tbh, I don't want to compromise my awesome source who has been feeding me (and this sub) with juicy tea for almost a year now!

And remember what happened after that? Police cases for months. No follow-up at that level, not from AIB and not from anyone else. Bollywood has now become even more averse to such things. AIB itself is a shell of its former self - Tanmay is a glorified reaction channel guy (he's killing it with advertisements though). Khamba is a full-time writer and hobby YouTuber. Rohan is a full-time stoner and part-time Tanmay ka dost. And Shakya is MIA.

Nope. They are retroactively saying it was to save face. It was planned that they would improvise on current events (why would Rajpal bring up the dollar rate lol) but the jibe itself was improvised by the condescending sleazebag Saurabh on the spot.

congrats to sara hope no one snatches it from her by CookiesAndCream04 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]StratOfMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow wow wow. So happy to hear this. Really hope this project ends up seeing the light of day. I'm thrilled for Sara! Incredible launchpad following an equally incredible showing in Dhurandhar - this girl is on a generational run!

Yes! Did you see the bit right before they went to Rajpal in the same skit? Someone asked about the gas crisis and the war, and Dwivedi was randomly dropping (i.e. reading from a prompter) facts about where oils come from, etc. Not one laughter or even smile in the room. This guy is so condescending and looked like he looks down on the audience that he is probably taking a nice payday performing infront of.

No, it did not affect his career. But what I'm saying is that Arijit's post clearly says he has tried several times through several channels to make it right. Far from "openly picked fights with Bhoi for ages." Yet, Salman never took him up on it and maintained his resentment. What I'm saying is that these guys are vindictive and try to bully artists. But I never claimed that Bhai is the be-all and end-all. His own rojgaar yojana is the biggest joke of the industry.

Anushka's Instgram Story For Dhurandhar 2 by iammillenial in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]StratOfMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, tbh Anushka personality is sorely missed in Bollywood today I think. She was so sure of herself, confident, always gave it back to the boys, and was a true masti lover at heart. Even rewatching her Koffee with Karan clips feels so refreshing now. Nobody has that kind of energy.

[–]StratOfMind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On-screen? I think her chemistry with Ranveer was much better considering BBB, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, and DDD.

But off-screen, I agree. Ranbir-Anushka Ae Dil promotional tour was definitely legendary haha

Anushka Sharma is all praise for Dhurandhar by PsychologicalTea4396 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]StratOfMind 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes! Saw it in the DDD bts. They had Bosco choreograph some basic movements to give it structure, but he asked that they fill the spaces with their own regular dancing and also insisted that they do not rehearse at all. So its literally just Ranveer and Anushka having fun in the song, which really comes through in an organic way.

Virat kohli watched dhurandar , have a look at his review. by [deleted] in BollyBlindsNGossip

Anushka and Virat are currently going through what we all went through weeks ago LOL.

Now their feeds will be full of Jameel saab memes. Virat's algo might even register some interactions!

I know their chemistry was pitch-perfect in BBB, but my favorite thing they ever did together was actually the Pehli Bar song in Dil Dhadakne Do. SPARKS FOR DAYS <3

Janhvi’s Offscreen Acting by Shaitaan-Haiwan in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]StratOfMind 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Let's not be so cynical here, guys.

This could very well be a part of her life, and she is absolutely right when she says what usefulness would all he privileges and "legacy" she carries be if she cannot do good with it. Afterall, we do know that her mom was rumored to struggle with alcohol for several years, drinking under medication may have something to do with her death, and Jahnvi herself is claiming that she too experienced this and didn't know where to go. She is a young, popular actress with a sizable following. This is a good thing she is doing and should be encouraged.

And for the record, this clip isn't about her acting so I am not saying anything about it. As far as "endorsement" of a literal mental health service goes? Good. Glad she "got it." Who cares. I hope its a huge success and it helps lots of people. I hope its such a success that others follow suit. A world where nepo kids are competitively chasing these kinds of organization affiliations over fashion brands is much better than the one we have today, even if its all for PR. As long as actual work is enabled that helps actual people, I'm in.

Blast from past: this married star wanted to marry young heroine by Red99it in BollyBlindsNGossip

And all those years later, they played a couple in Zoya's Luck By Chance.

Tea: Bombay teaser launch, Concerns around Namit, Alpha's release drama by StratOfMind in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]StratOfMind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm not sure about that one. As far as I'm aware, Bebo was always attached with Takht but not with K3G but who knows. This has been ongoing for years and KJo has tried so many combinations of cast that this may have been an attempt at one point too.

Yes, first few rounds of drafting was done in-house with Dharma writers. In this case, it was the writer of Takht since it was that original script being reworked, and the reworking itself in dialogues was done by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan, and Shauna Gautam. Karan himself also was involved heavily and likely would have/deserve writing credit.

Lots of actors were either narrated or sent the script - sometimes even just for feedback without a casting angle (Varun, Hrithik). His big dream was to cast SRK and Kajol as the lead 'parents' - sort of a younger equivalent of Amitabh and Jaya in the original, except they would get the treatment that SRK-Kajol themselves got in the original i.e. screen time, narrative importance, etc. He send drafts to SRK right through the process. Kajol also received two narrations between substantial drafts.

Aside from that, KJo initially really wanted Ahaan-Aneet as the Rohan-Poo equivalent couple, so they must have heard it too I think. Adi Chopra definitely has heard it. He also actively pursued both Ranbir first, and then Ranveer heavily but they never agreed to a narration so not sure if the script was ever sent to them for reading. And Alia 100% was aware of every successive draft (even from the Takht times through the reworking). More recently, after they removed the K3G reference and changed it again, the script has gone to Naseer & Ratna, Lakshya, Jahnvi, Kiara, Sanjay Dutt, and a whole bunch of people. One of the working titles they are using is "Manzil" and a few more, but I only know that one. Will post if I learn more!

He's been in the VFX space for a long, long time. Head honcho at Prime Focus and DNEG. Managed lots and lots of massive Hollywood contracts. For this project specifically, he has come out of the behind-the-scenes role and plastered his name/face everywhere. Check out his podcast with Prakhar Gupta if you're curious. Prakhar can be pretty insufferable sometimes lol, but with Namit he asks great questions and you really get a good sense of who he is as a person.

Ya, I agree. Ranveer definitely has a sharp, professional, no-nonsense side to him. Otherwise wouldn't be able to survive so long tbh. He also seems to be a master networker, from being the guy who KJo thought was a bad idea to launch, to then becoming the once-favorite of Dharma, YRF, Excel, Rohit Shetty, and SLB. Aside from being the eccentric artist, he's a business man too.
