Vivek Agnihotri Slams Aamir

Vivek Agnihotri Slams Aamir, Kiara’s New Ad

By LokMarg

After facing backlash over his film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, superstar Aamir Khan has once again found himself at the receiving end of social media trolls. This time he is receiving flak online for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through his latest commercial with actress Kiara Advani.

The commercial is for AU Small Finance Bank. It shows Aamir and Kiara as newlyweds trying to change traditions as the groom, Aamir, movies to the bride, Kiara’s house after their wedding to take care of her ailing father. Based on the theme of changing traditions, Aamir and Kiara question banking traditions with their advertisement.
However, the particular advertisement did not go down well with a section of social media users. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, too, slammed the ad.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “I just fail to understand since when Banks have become responsible for changing social & religious traditions? I think@aubankindia should do activism by changing the corrupt banking system. Aisi bakwaas karte hain fir kehte hain Hindus are trolling. Idiots(they do nonsense like these and then say Hindus are trolling).”

Many even claimed on Twitter that they were closing their accounts at the bank in protest.

During the release of Aamir’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ in August, some Twitter users went through the archives and dug up his controversial “India’s growing intolerance” statement and circulated it on the micro-blogging site.

Talking about the controversial statement in question, in 2015, Aamir said in an interview, “Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill will”. His wife Kiran Rao also made headlines for saying that she considered leaving the country for the safety of their children.

Reacting to the particular interview, Twitter users put up posts using hashtags such as #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha and #Boycottaamirkhan. The Trolls also dug up when Aamir met Turkey’s First Lady Emine Erdogan while he was shooting for Laal Singh Chaddha there. Netizens were unhappy with the meeting as happened in the backdrop of Turkey’s increasing anti-India and pro-Pakistan stand.

Aamir literally requested people to watch his film after he received flak.

“That Boycott Bollywood… Boycott Aamir Khan… Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha… I feel sad also because a lot of people who are saying this in their hearts believe I am someone who doesn’t like India… In their hearts, they believe that… And that’s quite untrue. I really love the country… That’s how I am. It is rather unfortunate that some people feel that way. I want to assure everyone that it’s not the case so please don’t boycott my films, please watch my films,” Aamir had said. (ANI)

Tisca Chopra Celebrates Success of ‘Dahan’ Web Series

By LokMarg

Bollywood actor Tisca Chopra, on Friday, shared glimpses from the celebration of the success of her series ‘Dahan – Raakan ka Rahasya’.

Taking to Instagram, Tisca shared a video which she captioned, “Two weeks on the No: 1 spot across platforms and we had to party with the madly talented team that made #Dahan possible ..And of course, so much gratitude for giving us your time and love.”

In the video, Tisca could be seen celebrating along with her team members Saurabh Shukla, and other makers of the series.

Tisca Chopra is making the most of indoors.

Helmed by Vikranth Pawar, the series stars Tisca Chopra, Saurabh Shukla, Rajesh Tailang, Mukesh Tiwari, Ankur Nayyar, and Rohan Joshi in the lead roles.

The 9-episodes series premiered on Disney+ Hotstar and gathered massive responses from the audience.

The show touches upon society, and its beliefs while challenging its characters to face their deepest and darkest fears. It takes off when a mining expedition threatens the village fabled with a temple that legends say can unleash a deadly curse when harmed.

However, an IAS officer (played by Tisca Chopra) sets out on a mission to battle age-old superstitions that shroud the village in the face of mysterious killings and disappearances. Shot across Rajasthan’s uniquely rugged landscapes, the story spells catharsis with cursed caves, hidden treasures, and generational secrets.

Earlier, Actor Tisca Chopra, who played the role of an IAS officer, said, “What I love most about Dahan – Raakan ka Rahasya is how it captures raw fear as each character faces their own demons. Avani Raut, my character, fights personal and professional battles when she is caught in the crossfire of superstition and the supernatural and resin and practicality on the other. The show puts the character Avani Raut on a quest by drawing parallels between her external and internal fears, which all of us confront. It’s been an absolute delight to bring Dahan and Avani to the audiences. I’m extremely proud to bring this layered grey character on a prestigious platform like Disney+ Hotstar.” (ANI)

Alia baby kick during award speech

Alia Experienced Baby Kicks During Award Speech

By LokMarg

Ever since actor Alia Bhatt announced her pregnancy in June, she has been showering her fans with cute moments from her preggers diary.

On Sunday, the mom-to-be gave a special and cute speech while accepting the Time100 Impact Award in Singapore. At the end of the speech, Alia gave a shout-out to her unborn baby. Yes, you read it right.
“I think 10 years ago when I started working, all I thought about was how I would one day take over the world. How everyone, everywhere would know who I am and how hardworking and talented and intelligent and bright and flawless I am. I wanted to be perfect and I wanted the world to know it,” she said.

Alia also talked about her flaws. She emphasized in her speech that she might be poor in a lot of things, but emotional intelligence is not one of them, as she has consciously honed that trait in herself.

She stated, “Tonight, I want to take a moment with you all to celebrate my flaws along with my strengths.” For example, I’m terrible at spelling. Like, really bad. But I do know what to say to someone who’s vulnerable. I have no sense of geography. Zero. I did not get directions. But I have a deep sense of respect and regard for different cultures. My general knowledge is widely known to be weak. But my emotional intelligence is something that I’ve worked really hard to cultivate. I have a tendency to be hard on myself with regard to my weight and my appearance. But I never say no to French fries because, you know, YOLO (You only live once).”

Thanking her family members for being there for her through thick and thin, she added,” Thank you to you all for patiently listening to me. Thank you to my team, for constantly being there for me. Thank you to my family; my mom (Soni Razdan) for bringing me on to this planet; my father (Mahesh Bhatt); my sister Shaheen Bhatt, who has helped put my talks into words; my husband Ranbir Kapoor. I need to give them separate awards for putting up with me on a daily basis. And lastly, when it comes to making an impact, I hope I can continue to do so in whatever way possible.”

“But for now, tonight, this award has genuinely made an impact on me–me and my little one, who has relentlessly kicked me throughout this speech. Thank you so much,” Alia concluded, receiving a round of applause from the audience.

The end part of her speech won many hearts on social media.

Reacting to it, a social media user commented, “Hahahahha, so cute.”

Vikram Vedha Day one

Hrithik, Saif’s Vikram Vedha Mints Rs 10.58 Cr On Day 1

By LokMarg

Bollywood actors Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s action thriller film ‘Vikram Vedha’ minted Rs 10.58 crore in India on its opening day.

Taking to Instagram, trade analyst Taran Aadarsh shared a post, which he captioned, “#VikramVedha has a shockingly low start on Day 1, despite super-strong word of mouth… National chains underperform, while mass circuits are below par… Biz needs to multiply on days 2 and 3 to cover lost ground… Fri Rs 10.58 cr. #India biz. #VikramVedha circuit-wise analysis… Day 1… #Mumbai [3.19 cr] and #DelhiUP [2.20 cr] have not performed to the optimum.”
Helmed by Pushkar and Gayatri, the film starred Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, and Radhika Apte in the lead roles.

‘Vikram Vedha’ is an official Hindi remake of a Tamil film with the same title, which starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles.

The story of ‘Vikram Vedha’ is full of twists and turns, as a tough cop Vikram (Saif Ali Khan) sets out to track and chase a dreaded gangster Vedha (Hrithik Roshan). What unfolds is a cat-and-mouse chase, where Vedha – a master storyteller – helps Vikram peel back layers through a series of stories leading to thought-provoking moral ambiguities.

Meanwhile, apart from ‘Vikram Vedha’, Hrithik will also be seen in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming action thriller film ‘Fighter’ alongside Deepika Padukone.

Saif, on the other hand, will be next seen in an upcoming pan-India film ‘Adipurush‘ alongside south actor Prabhas, and Kriti Sanon. (ANI)
