Kunal Khemu injured in vandalism during shooting near Bada Imambada

Shooting without permission at Naubat Khana – in front of Bada Imambada – landed Bollywood actors Kunal Khemu and Vartika Singh, along with some members of their production team into trouble on Saturday night.
A group of people attacked them, raising objections to the shoot. Khemu suffered injuries in his hand when the mob started pelting stones and damaged cameras and other equipment.
The hooligans disappeared soon after the attack. Chowk police however registered an FIR against 50 to 60 unidentified people for causing injuries and damaging equipment.
The incident occurred when Kunal Khemu and Vartika Singh were shooting at Naubat Khana for the song album ‘Saanwre’ produced by Nikhil Dwivedi. The album has songs sung by Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Khan was also in the city for the same shoot but he was not present at the spot at the time of the incident.
The production team had set up a stage and many people had gathered at the location. The shooting started during night hours, causing major traffic chaos in the area.
The first to object to the shooting was Shia cleric Maulana Kalbe Jawwad. The cleric went to the location and asked the team to not shoot at Naubat Khana as it was close to a place of worship. He returned when the production team assured him to call off the shooting. However, the team continued with their work.
Soon, a group of youngsters attacked them. The irked mob pelted stones and vandalised the stage that had been set up for shooting.
IP Singh, inspector of Chowk police station said that Ashish Jain, the production coordinator had lodged an FIR against 50-60 unidentified people in the matter.
He added that the production team did not have the permission needed for shooting at that location. “The entire matter had been conveyed to senior authorities and further probe is on,” said Singh.

Sarabjit was hiped ,says Randeep

Actor Randeep Hooda said that veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has advised him not to plan his career ever.

Randeep has been associated with theatre since the beginning of his acting career and is an active member of Naseeruddin Shah's Motley Theatre Troupe. He considers Mr Shah as his mentor, friend and confidante.

"There was a time when I wished to get a break and I got a break for three years, not because of lack of work that cameto me but because of lack of quality work. Naseer (Naseeruddin Shah) bhai once told me when I was lying with a broken leg on bed, that the one thing that I am doing wrong is planning my career," Randeep told PTI.

"He said, don't plan your career. It will take its shape, so that is what I have been doing. I want to do good stuff and there is so much diversity in my work," he said.

Now when the Sarbjit actor is doing well in his career, he doesn't intend to take a break.

"I wished for a break. I did not have work for three years and I don't want to wish that upon myself again. There are two-three things that are cooking. Let's see what happens first," he said.

With films like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Highway, Jism 2, Kick, Randeep has always tried to do different kinds of roles and he is happy that the industry has been good to him.

"I think, may be it will take few more films in a row for me to get acceptance. But I cannot complain about the industry as I have always got work," he said.

A successful film usually brings offers for the actors and Randeep is fresh out of the success of Sarbjit.

"Sarbjit was a hyped film but my performance in Laal Rang was equally appreciated; it was one of my favourite films. So all this is going to accumulate into my filmography which will be seen by people. I hope I get better films. Every successful film can get me one more opportunity to show my work," he said.

The 39-year-old actor will be seen next in Do Lafzon Ki Kahani, where he plays an MMA fighter.

"I did my upcoming film Do Lafzon Ki Kahani before I did Sarbjit. I gained weight (for Do Lafzon Ki Kahani). I weighed 95 kilos for Do Lafzon Ki Kahani and came down to 65 kilos for Sarbjit. It was heartbreaking," Randeep said.

The Highway actor is happy that the film has a good blend of romance and action.

"The film has romance, action, good songs. After Jism 2 and Murder 3, this is one film in which the songs are best," he said.

The actor has seen the Korean film Always on which Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is based.

"I wondered why no one is making this film Always in Hindi. Then Deepak Tijori (director) came with this story of two lovely lonely souls living in a foreign country. They meet out of fate and realise they have a connection," he said.

After being in the film industry for around 15 years and showing his versatility, Randeep reveals that he still gets petrified to do any role.

"Every role that I get makes me feel petrified thinking if I will be able to do it. This happens after I have accepted a film. I have not decided what I will do after Sultan but I will try to do something different," the actor said.

This year, Randeep will be seen in three films, of which Sarbjit has already released and has garnered good response. The other two films areDo Lafzon Ki Kahani and Sultan. Randeep feels having back-to-back releases is hectic.

"The promotion part is very tiring. But I think positively about it. I have always tried do something different with every film and people can see the difference in all three films (of 2016)," he added.

'Udta Punjab' makers move Bombay HC, hearing today


The Bombay High Court will hear on Thursday a petition filed by Phantom Films, the co-producers of the drug-themed upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Udta Punjab’.
Phantom Films moved the court on Wednesday morning, seeking a copy of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Revising Committee order suggesting changes to the film set for a June 17 release.
However, the Revising Committee’s order was received in the afternoon, following which the petitioner requested the court for time to study the order dated June 6 and make amendments to the petition.
A division bench of Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari and Justice Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi allowed the plea and posted the matter for hearing on Thursday.
The Revising Committee’s order suggested 13 changes, besides deletion of references to Punjab as it was allegedly not in conformity with the Cinematograph Act.
The producers said they will study the order before deciding whether to challenge it or not.
The judges also directed the CBFC to place its records pertaining to the case before the court on Thursday.
Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, the film stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor-Khan and Diljit Dosanjh and deals with the drug menace in Punjab.
