'Alcoholia' song launch: "Kisi bhi actor ke saath kaam kar lo, lekin Hrithik Roshan ke saath kaam karoge toh award zaroor milta hai" - Ganesh Hegde

Mumbai’s Gaiety-Galaxy theatre is known for giving a true blue massy experience to the moviegoers. Today, the experience got better by many notches as superstar Hrithik Roshan made his presence felt at the Galaxy theatre to launch the song 'Alcoholia' from his upcoming film, Vikram Vedha. The stall was filled with his fans and it was no surprise that they went crazy seeing their superstar live and seeing foot-tapping song on the big screen.

Besides Hrithik Roshan, Vikram Vedha’s actors Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani, director duo Pushkar-Gayatri, choreographer Ganesh Hegde and producers Shibasish Sarkar and S Sashikanth were also present. Ganesh Hegde was asked to comment on choreographing Hrithik. He said, “Ek cheez bahut clear hai. Aap kisi bhi actor ke saath kaam kar lo lekin jab Hrithik Roshan ke saath kaam karoge ho toh award zaroor milta hai!”

Hrithik Roshan stated, when asked about his experience, “If you are working with Ganesh Hegde, then nothing is easy.”

He continued, “It was tough as I was not getting the steps right and we had to a break. And this perfectionist over here (points at Ganesh) would not leave me. At one or two places, I told him, ‘It’s done. We have got it’. But for him, it was not okay. So, I had to keep on doing it again and again. Yaad hai ki nahin? Marwaya mujhe isne!”

Ganesh Hegde then chipped in, “When Hrithik offered me this song and later when I met Pushkar-Gayatri, I realized that they are hell bent on creating a magical song. I have been working with Hrithik for a long time (for his stage performances). We had done only one song before, ‘Its Magic’. Hence, I had to create magic again (with 'Alcoholia')!”

'Alcoholia' song launch: "Doctors had told me before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai that I can't do action and dance. It's a MIRACLE that in my 25th film, I'm STILL doing action and dance" - Hrithik Roshan

After the blockbuster success of his last film War (2019), Hrithik Roshan has entered into a different league of supertardom. Therefore, the excitement is tremendous for Vikram Vedha, his 25th film, which releases on September 30. The teaser and trailer have received a fantastic response. The team of the film held fan events in different cities for the promo release, which got a great response. They continued this trend with the launch of the first song of the film, ‘Alcoholia’. This time, the song launch took place in Mumbai’s iconic single-screen theatre complex, Gaiety-Galaxy. What added to the madness was that Hrithik Roshan himself arrived at the venue and his fans obviously couldn’t control their excitement.

At this event, Hrithik Roshan was asked about the idea of launching the song in the single-screen theatre. To which he said, “Gaiety is very special. 22 years ago, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000) was released. I had come here for the first day first show to see (the audience reaction of) the first ever film of mine. When the film got over and the lights were switched on, the viewers recognized me. Uss din maine pehli baar mehsoos kiya ki audience ka pyaar aur kya hota hai.”

Hrithik Roshan continued, “I remember one more episode. Before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai had been released, the doctors had told me that my health is not that good and so I won't be able to do action and dance in movies. I took it up as a challenge. I took care of my health and fitness. It’s nothing short of a miracle that in my 25th film, I am still doing action and I am still dancing. And I am still able to say my dialogues. I think the 21-year-old me will be very, very proud of the 48-year-old me!”

As expected, the fans were touched by his speech. Hrithik told them, “Thank you. This wouldn’t have been possible without your support and love.”

He also credited the Vikram Vedha team, “Nothing is possible without a team. I am blessed to be working with directors (Pushkar-Gayatri), (choreographer) Ganesh Hegde and (music director duo) Vishal-Sheykhar. This song would not be what it is if it was not for the team. I got a chance to work with some of the best actors (pointing at Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani). I feel I am very blessed. So thanks to all of you for giving me this opportunity.”

Also present at the event were choreographer Ganesh Hegde and producers Shibasish Sarkar and S Sashikanth.

BREAKING: Promotional campaign of Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam 2 to commence on October 2 aka the ‘Drishyam Day’

On February 17, 2022, it was announced that Drishyam 2 has gone on floors and that Abhishek Pathak will be directing it. An on-the-set still featuring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran was also released by the makers and it added to the excitement of the viewers as the first part had emerged as a critical and commercial success. With the release of the week just two months away, Bollywood Hungama has found out about an interesting development with regard to this film.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Director Abhishek Pathak and the producers of Drishyam 2 have decided that they’ll kick start the promotional campaign of the film from October 2. The date held a special significance in the first part due to which they felt that starting their campaign on this date is apt. Moreover, things fell into place for them as Drishyam 2 is scheduled to be released on November 18, that is, 45 days after October 2. Hence, everyone in the team unanimously agreed to begin the film’s promotional journey on the national holiday.”

An industry expert said, “This is a smart move. Viewers would lap it up as October 2 has now become synonymous with Drishyam. Now, on October 2, people don’t just forward messages about the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, but also remind their friends and loved ones that this was the day when Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn’s character in Drishyam) attended satsang and had pav bhaji with his family! As a result, the promotional campaign will get a fabulous reception when it’ll commence on October 2.”

Drishyam is the remake of the 2013 Malayalam film of the same name. Besides Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran, it also starred Tabu, Ishita Dutta and Rajat Kapoor and was directed by the late Nishikant Kamat. It was the story of a good-natured semi-literate man who drew an elaborate and flawless plan when his daughter and wife accidentally killed a criminal, who also happened to be the son of a top police officer. As part of his plan, he created a full-proof alibi of being away at the satsang and making merry in Goa when the criminal son went missing.

Drishyam 2 is also based on the sequel of the same film, which was released directly on Amazon Prime in 2021. This time, Akshaye Khanna has also joined the star cast of the remake. Drishyam 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Krishan Kumar and Abhishek Pathak.

Vivian Dsena starrer television show Sirf Tum goes off air

Television show Sirf Tum, which was launched in November last year, and moved to the OTT platform of the channel earlier this month, is all set to wind up. The shoot of the show, which features Eisha Singh and Vivian Dsena in lead roles, will wrap up in a week’s time and the last episode will be streamed on September 16. Sirf Tum marked Vivian’s return to daily soaps two years after Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki went off air.

Speaking about Sirf Tum going off air, Vivian confirmed, “Yes, the show is winding up on September 16. Everything in life must come to an end and according to my own life experiences, some endings are for the better. Over the years, I have understood that not everything happens the way we want or expect. Life is a roller-coaster ride, full of adventures and experiences and the best of experiences are the ones that teach you good lessons for the future.”

The actor also revealed that he felt a special connection with his character Ranveer in Sirf Tum. He added, “Everything aside, Ranveer will always be special to me. I have put my heart into it. The character is multi-shaded and it feels like some part of him was left undiscovered. People may not know but I started manifesting this character and preparing for it more than a year before the inception of the show. The makers got inspired by me while envisaging this character and also, the fact that both Ranveer and I are often misunderstood for our actions. But if you look deeper, you will see our reasons and targets are right at the end.”

Sirf Tum revolves around Ranveer and Suhaani played by Eisha Singh as fate constantly plays a game of uniting and separating them. The show used to air on Colors channel and it has now shifted to its OTT channel, Voot.

Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra starrer Thank God gets banned in Kuwait

Indra Kumar’s Thank God has been facing some legal hassles for its portrayal of Chitragupt played by Ajay Devgn. Now we hear that the film will also be facing a ban in Kuwait. The Sidharth Malhotra, Rakul Preet Singh starrer was not passed by the Censor Board as they have decided to stop the release of the film in the city.

Thank God portrays the story of a common man played by Sidharth Malhotra who meets Chitragupt in his after life, after he meets with an accident. As per Indian mythology, Chitragupt is a Hindu deity who is the bookkeeper who records the good and evil deeds of human beings. While the film portrays Ajay Devgn as the modern day Chitragupt, it is a social comedy that showcases him in a funny avatar. This has not gone down well with some of the Indian audiences as a UP based lawyer too moved the court by filing a complaint against the makers of the film for hurting the religious sentiments as well as mocking the religion.

Meanwhile, amidst the upcoming releases of Indian movies, apart from Thank God, the Kuwait Censor Board has green lit the releases of all other movies including the Dulquer Salmaan, Sunny Deol, and Shreya Dhanwanthary starrer Chup. Other films which will hit the Kuwait theatres include Goodbye that marks the Hindi debut of ‘national crush’ Rashmika Mandanna as well as the R Madhavan starrer Dhoka: Round D Corner. The Kuwait Censor Board has also passed the Tamil film Sinam without any cuts.

Wonder never ceases. The insanity of the first two seasons of Netflix’s The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives featuring, Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Bhavana Pandey, and Seema Sajdeh, is yet to sink in fully. But the show is already on to its third season.

A source very close to the ‘Fabulous’ franchise informs, “Netflix has already greenlighted the third season of what you call an inane series. You may think it is inane and irrelevant. But The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives is a huge success for Netflix. Critics said it won’t go beyond the first season. It went not only to the second season but now, to the third season as well. It is the Indian equivalent of Netflix’s 365 Days. The more critics trash it the more popular it is among viewers.”

The good news in season 3 of The Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives, is that true blue Bollywood wives Gauri Khan and Twinkle Khanna are likely to feature in full-fledged roles.

Nora Fatehi gets summoned in Sukesh Chandrashekhar extortion case after her brother-in-law confesses about accepting BMW worth Rs. 65 lakhs

After Jacqueline Fernandez, Nora Fatehi is yet another actress who seems to be in a fix owing to the Sukesh Chandrashekhar extortion case. Recently, the reality show judge-dancer was summoned by the Delhi police for questioning over the case after her brother-in-law accepted that he received a BMW car worth Rs. 65 lakhs. The Enforcement Directorate too questioned the actress in reference to the case.

As per recent reports, Nora Fatehi was questioned for six hours by the Delhi Police, who summoned her for the second time in relation to the Sukesh Chandrashekhar case. These reports also claim that Nora’s brother-in-law Bobby and Sukesh’s accomplice Pinki Irani were questioned by Economics Wing with reference to the luxurious BMW. On the other hand, Nora reportedly maintained that she didn’t know Sukesh or Pinki personally and that she never met them. She claimed that she was only in touch with Chandrashekhar on WhatsApp.

For the uninitiated, Sukesh Chandrashekhar is currently in jail after he was accused of money laundering and cheating high profile businessmen for whopping amounts. Besides Nora, Jacqueline Fernandez too has been facing accusations of being Sukesh’s accomplice.

In an earlier report submitted by the ED, while Jacqueline was named as one of the accused, Nora Fatehi was named as the witness in the case. However, there has been a recent turn of events in this case with Nora being summoned for a second round of questioning by the Delhi Police.

Justin Bieber cancels India concert after postponing Justice World Tour after Ramsay-Hunt diagnosis: 'Hope he recovers at the earliest'

Pop sensation Justin Bieber, who was recently diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June, has postponed the remaining dates of his ‘Justice’ world tour. The news comes after the singer recently returned to touring after overcoming his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which for weeks left the entire right side of his face paralyzed. Now, his India concert has been cancelled too.

Justin Bieber was set to perform during his Justice World Tour in Delhi on 18th October 2022 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The stadium is large enough to hold the capacity up to 1,00,000 audience for concerts. Amid the rescheduling of the world tour, a spokesperson from Book My Show, the promoter of the concert in India, said, "We are extremely disappointed to share that the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour – India’ scheduled for October 18th, 2022 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi has been cancelled owing to the singer’s health concerns. We have just been informed that due to health concerns, he will unfortunately not be able to make it next month. Along with New Delhi in India, the artist has also cancelled other stops in the tour’s run-up to the India show including Chile, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Bahrain, UAE and Israel."

"While we are deeply disappointed that we will not be able to welcome Justin Bieber to India this year on account of his health concerns, we wish him well and hope he recovers at the earliest to be back for millions of his fans in India soon. While the cancellation of the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour – India’ has been dependent on factors outside of our control, what is in our hands, is your experience as a BookMyShow consumer and the transparency you expect in the resolution to this situation.

Nagarjuna speaks about the success of Brahmastra and the failure of Naga Chaitanya starrer Laal Singh Chaddha; he says, “We all cheer for each other. There is a bittersweet moment every year.”

After being in the making for over seven years, the first part of Ayan Mukerji’s magnum opus Brahmastra released last week to a good response from moviegoers. The film has been in news for multiple reasons including the fact that it brings together real-life married couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt for the first time. Nagarjuna, who plays an integral role in the film, spoke about the immense response he has been garnering for the mythological fantasy drama, but he also opened up about the failure of Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha which marked the Bollywood debut of his son Naga Chaitanya.

Naga Chaitanya played the role of Aamir’s best friend in Laal Singh Chaddha, a remake of the Oscar winning American drama Forrest Gump. While the film opened to a very low business, it was also criticized by several communities and groups for its plot line. Speaking about it, in an interview with PTI, Nagarjuna said, “It is a bittersweet moment. I wish it had worked good. But it happens, it is an experience." He also recalled the advice he had given his son when he was signed on for the project saying, "When Chai told me he was doing this Forrest Gump remake, I told him don't expect to be recognized as a star. This will show you as an actor. And Chai said, 'I want to be known as an actor also.”

He went on to add about how despite the great performance of Brahmastra and low performance of Laal Singh Chaddha, they celebrate all kinds of cinema at their household. "We all cheer for each other. We all have a get together on the day of the release. Whatever happens we have dinner and we all toast to that movie. There is a bittersweet moment every year. Now, it is coming every six months," he concluded.

Talking about Brahmastra, it also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy along with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Nagarjuna. Based on the concept of Indian mythology, the fantasy action drama released on September 9 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

"I was very sure I wanted to do Brahmastra no matter what the length of my role" - Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna’s massive fan base in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is disappointed by the abbreviated length of his role in Ayan Mukerji’s scifi-mythological Brahmastra. But Nagarjuna says he was very clear in his mind as to why he did the film. “When Ayan narrated the story to me, I was very sure I wanted to do this film no matter what the length of my role. It’s not always about how long you are on screen. In Andha Kanoon Amitji had a guest appearance. But people remember the film only for him. I don’t think anything like Brahmastra has been attempted in Indian cinema before. I just had to be part of it.”

As for the miniature size of his role Nag explains, “Sometimes it is a pleasure to just be part of a film you believe in regardless of the length of the film. I’ve done more than enough films where I am in nearly every frame. Brahmastra was fun to shoot. All my scenes were with Alia and Ranbir, and they are so talented.”

For fans desirous of seeing, more of Nag on screen there is good news. “I am there in full-force in my next release The Ghost. It is an out-and-out action thriller. At this stage of my career I like doing action films. At my age I think I am in good shape,” says Nag with a chuckle.

In fact, during a recent episode, the actor turned a singer from being a host on the show. Arjun tried his hands at singing recently and recorded one of his most favourite songs, ‘Yaaron’ which is originally sung by the late KK.

Speaking about it recently, Arjun Bijlani said," This was my first ever song that was recorded. I have been singing the song ‘Yaaron’ by KK from a very young age. It's my favorite song and it was a nostalgic feeling. I feel after that, I got to know that I am going to record this song.” When asked if he ever thought of giving singing a chance, he shared, “I always loved singing and my friends and family have watched me singing Karaoke with my mother. I never thought of becoming a singer but now why not."

"If ever I get to host a singing reality show I would love to be a part of it,'' he concluded.

Besides the multiple shows on television, Arjun Bijlani was recently also seen in his popular web show Roohaniyat opposite Kanika Mann. The show is a romantic drama and is currently in its second season. If reports are to be believed, the makers are also considering a third season.

On the other hand, talking about Ravivaar With Star Parivaar, the show airs every Sunday on Star Plus and features onscreen families from the popular shows on the channel as they fight it out to win the war of music.

According to a Page Six report, the rumoured couple has advanced their relationship to a more intimate stage. However, they are taking it forward carefully. Quoting a source close to the couple, the report further mentions they mostly hang out with a group of friends and solo a handful of times.

The former couple shares a baby girl, Khai. Reportedly, Gigi and Zayn are co-parenting and making it work for their two-year-old daughter.

Meanwhile, as mentioned earlier, the Titanic actor parted ways with Camila Morrone a few months back. The former pair were first linked in 2018 during an outing to Aspen, Colorado.

Netflix greenlights Tahir Raj Bhasin starrer Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein for season 2

The crime – mystery series Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein that was released on the OTT giant Netflix earlier this year received rave reviews for its content and execution. Starring Tahir Raj Bhasin, Shweth Tiwari, and Anchal Singh amongst others the series captured the audience with some even sharing on social media that they were so hooked that they completed the show in one sitting. Now, after reporting that Netflix had canceled the second season of two other shows, viz. Aranyak and The Fame Game, Bollywood Hungama has learnt that the streaming giant has greenlit season 2 of Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein.

As per the update, looking at the popularity of Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and the reception & appreciation it received Netflix was keen on a second season. Reveals a source close to the developments, “Netflix was interested in a second season for Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, on the condition that the content of the show was at par or better than the first. In today’s market everything comes down to content, if that fails everything else collapses like a house of cards. For instance, look at the shows Aranyak that featured Raveena Tandon and The Fame Game which featured Madhuri Dixit. Both shows were well received and both featured rather big names in the cast. However, when it came to a second season for these two shows, Netflix dropped the idea of going ahead based on their investment and ROI for the first season. On the other hand, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein has been renewed for a second season. Despite being made on a lower budget than Aranyak and The Fame Game, it garnered more views on the streaming platform.”

Ask for more details on Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein season 2 and the source continues, “Now that Netflix has given a go ahead the series will commence shooting later this year with a release sometime in 2023.” Further talking about what to expect from Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein season 2 the source concludes, “If you thought season 1 of the show was good wait to you see season 2 of Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein”.

As for the show itself, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein followed the story of a man aggressively pursued by a politician's daughter who will do anything to marry him, following which the small-town man takes drastic measures to reclaim his life.

Ranbir Kapoor – Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra sequel to start by year-end

With Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra proving to be a certifiable hit there is a sudden upsurge of interest in the sequel. We can now tell you that the second part of the trilogy entitled Brahmastra - Part 2 Dev will take off by the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.

An informed source reveals, “Ayan has more or less written the script for the entire Trilogy before he started shooting Part 1. Now he needs to fine-tune Part 2, make it more racy and perhaps accentuate the plot points which have been liked in the first part. Karan Johar (the producer of the Trilogy) and his co-producers Fox-Star are keen to kick-off Part 2 sooner rather than later. Ayan wants to take a break before getting into Part 2. But it looks like he won’t be allowed any respite.”

With Brahmastra - Shiva Part 1 proving the naysayers wrong, Part 2 is stronger now than it was before the release of Part 1.The team wants to strike while the iron is hot, the sooner the better.

Tusshar Kapoor's Maarrich starring Naseeruddin Shah to release December 9, 2022

Ever since Tusshar Kapoor announced his film Maarrich, also starring veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, the film's intriguing title and unique casting has piqued everyone’s curiosity. Maarrich will be Tusshar Kapoor’s second outing after the Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmii, as a producer under the banner Tusshar Entertainment House. The film is set to hit cinemas on 9th December 2022.

Written and directed by Dhruv Lather, Maarrich is a whodunit thriller where Tusshar will be seen playing a badass police officer.

The makers announced the release date today with an intriguing and impactful logo of the film with the message- Catch the Evil!

Netflix India drops Raveena Tandon starrer Aranyak season 2

In December 2021, the Raveena tendon starrer Aranyak was released on the OTT streaming platform Netflix. Set in the fictional town of Sironah, in Himachal Pradesh the series followed two morally upright officers, battling their own inner demons, trying to find the person responsible for the alleged rape and murder of a teenage girl. On its release, Aranyak received a highly positive response from both audience and critics alike. However, now Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Netflix India has cancelled the second season of Aranyak.

If what we hear is true, then Netflix has apparently decided to cancel Aranyak season 2 on account of its ROI. Says a source in the know, “OTT platforms have become even more stringent in terms of what content they feature, and Netflix is no stranger to this. This is a conscious effort in driving more content-driven shows and films that will connect with the audience.” Continuing further the source adds, “This isn’t the first show that Netflix has cancelled. Earlier the streaming giant had dropped the second season of the Madhuri Dixit starrer The Fame Game as well. In both cases, apparently, Netflix was not happy with the story, script, as well as the ROI and decided on forgoing development of the second seasons.”

Interestingly, though the show has been cancelled, for now, we are told that the makers of Aranyak have the chance to revisit the content of the second season, and re-develop the same. In such a case, Netflix could re-list and green light the second season. However, as things stand, Aranyak will not be returning with a second season anytime soon.

Multiplexes POSTPONE National Cinema Day from September 16 to September 23 to safeguard Brahmastra's collections

On September 2, the Multiplex Association of India (MAI) announced that the National Cinema Day would be held in India on September 16 wherein several cinemas would offer tickets for just Rs. 75. As expected, moviegoers were jubilant. After all, in metro cities especially, the average ticket price is usually more than Rs. 150 or Rs. 200. As a result, getting a chance to watch a film at such a cheap rate excited patrons and many had already made plans to throng cinema halls on September 16.

However, it seems like the aam junta would have to wait a little more to take advantage of this offer. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The MAI has decided to postpone the National Cinema Day by a week. It’ll now be held on Friday, September 23, instead of Friday, September 16.”

When asked for the reason behind this move, the source replied, “The Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra is the dominant film at present and is doing great. It was strong even on Monday, which proves that it’ll do strong business on the second weekend too. Disney, who has released Brahmastra, hence requested the multiplex association to push the celebrations by a week.”

The source continued, “The MAI and the multiplex teams found merit in their request. We all know that Brahmastra is a very costly movie. It needs to daily clock a huge number to become a hit and the Rs. 75 offer might prove to be a dampener. The multiplexes are also grateful to Brahmastra as this is the film that ended the dry period at the box office. Therefore, they all agreed to Disney’s plea. The National Cinema Day will now be held on September 23, on Brahmastra’s third Friday.”

An industry expert remarked, “Brahmastra’s ticket rates have been inflated. Yet, audiences are coming in huge numbers. They’ll do so in the second weekend as well, regardless of the ticket prices, which is why it’s a practical move to not sell its ticket for dirt cheap prices on its eighth day.”

National Cinema Day was celebrated in the USA on September 3. Multiplexes there offered movie tickets for a price as low as $3 (Rs. 240 approx.). The United Kingdom and Middle-Eastern countries too joined in.

According to the MAI, multiplex chains like PVR, Inox, Cinepolis, Carnival, Miraj, City Pride, Asian, Mukta A2, Movie Time, Wave, M2K, Delite etc will be participating in the celebrations.

“National Cinema Day will bring together audiences of all ages to enjoy a day at the movies. It also celebrates the successful reopening of cinemas and is a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers who made this happen. It is an invitation to those moviegoers who haven’t made it back to a cinema near them, yet,” the MAI said in a statement.

Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae makes history becoming first Asian actor to win Best Actor in a Drama at the Emmys 2022

South Korean superstar Lee Jung Jae made history at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards 2022 after winning Best Actor in a Drama Series for his stupendous performance in the Korean breakout show, Squid Game. He became the first Asian actor to win in that category.

“Thank you to the Television Academy, thank you to Netflix and thank you to the director for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen with a great script. Thank you, Squid Game team. Thank you to everyone watching in Korea,” a smiling Lee Jung Jae said in English and Korean, via an interpreter.

In June 2022, Netflix confirmed that the South Korean breakout show of 2021, Squid Game, is coming back for a second season. In an official statement, Hwang Dong Hyuk, the director, writer and executive producer of Squid Game, confirmed the return of Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun. He also hinted at the return of Gong Yoo and that there will be another deadly doll. "It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series ever. As the writer, director and producer of Squid Game, a huge shout out to fans around the world. Thank you for watching and loving our show. And now, Gi-hun returns. The Front Man returns. , Season 2 is coming. The man in the suit with ddakji might be back. You'll also be introduced to Young-hee's boyfriend, Cheol Su. Join us once more for a whole new round," he said in a statement.

Lee Jung Jae's character’s return was teased at the very end of the first season where he appears to have decided to put a stop to the brutal annual games. The Front Man, played by Lee Byung Hun, is the main antagonist and boss of the deadly games that pit 456 cash-strapped players against each other for an astounding cash prize of 45.6 billion won. The Squid Game creator also teased the possible return of Jung Ho Yeon, who plays the North Korean refugee contestant on the series, as her own evil twin sister.

Back in October 2021, Netflix confirmed Squid Game had become the biggest launch in the streaming giant’s history by drawing 111 million viewers in its first month on the platform. The Korean series surpassed the previous mark set by Bridgerton, through the first 28 days, which was seen by 82 million households after its debut. In November 2021, Netflix confirmed that Squid Game became the most-watched show or film ever, with 1.6 billion hours of viewership.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung Jae has an array of line-up. His directorial debut Hunt was released last month in South Korea to booming box office numbers. He has landed his first major American studio joining Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte. The South Korean actor will star alongside Amandla Stenberg and Jodie Turner-Smith. He is also set to reprise his role as a manic killer in Ray, a spin-off series from the 2020 Korean action-horror film Deliver Us From Evil.

“Investigation is going on to ascertain all the links, (and whether) people involved in the main conspiracy and people who accepted gifts were aware of his background or not,” Special CP (Crime and EOW) Ravindra Singh Yadav said, as per Indian Express. He said that four-five people have been summoned including actors Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi in the case for questioning.

Previously, the actress was accused of having a connection with the infamous conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar and it was alleged that about Rs. 7.27 crores of funds were seized from the actress in the name of proceeds of crime. The actress has been previously questioned thrice in the same case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

According to a report in News 18 earlier, a fixed deposit worth Rs. 7.12 crore has been attached to Jacqueline Fernandez' name. Infact, the ED estimated that Sukesh gifted gifts "worth Rs 5.71 crore to Jacqueline using the extortion money. It is also said that Sukesh gave funds close to $173,000 and around 27,000 Australian dollars to a few close members of Jacqueline’s family."

In Sukesh Chandrasekhar’s statement recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), Sukesh had said that he gave as many as 15 pairs of earrings, five Birkin bags, and other luxury goods from Chanel, Gucci to the actor. The con man also claimed that he gifted Jacqueline Fernandez Cartier bangles and rings and a bracelet by Tiffany & Co. in addition to Rolex watches. He also gave Jacqueline Fernandez jewellery worth Rs 7 crore and gifted her a horse called 'Espuelah'.

In addition, Sukesh Chandrashekhar also extended a loan of USD 150,000 to Jacqueline Fernandez's sister, who lives in the US. He also gave her a BMW X5 car and gifted Jacqueline Fernandez's parents a Maserati and her mother in Bahrain a Porsche. He also extended a loan of USD 50,000 to her brother in Australia.

In its charge sheet, the Delhi Police has accused Sukesh Chandrasekhar and 13 others of duping the wife of the former promoter of Ranbaxy to the tune of Rs 200 crore. Officials believe Chandrasekhar extorted Rs. 200 crore from the complainant by claiming that he would facilitate her husband's release from prison.
