Nitesh Pandey on his show Indiawaali Maa, “You’re never too old to need your mother”

Actor Nitesh Pandey has entertained us with multiple roles in both the film and television industry. The actor is known to have played some iconic roles and is all set to return on television in a new avatar with Indiawaali Maa. He will be seen playing the role of Hasmukh on the show and has spoken in detail as to how his role is different from the previous ones and how the show highlights the importance of a mother.

Nitesh Pandey on his show Indiawaali Maa, “You’re never too old to need your mother”

1. Tell us about your upcoming show, Indiawaali Maa?

Indiawaali Maa is a show which depicts how a mother knows everything her child feels and she wants to be there with him through thick and thin. A very endearing story of Kaku’s journey to help her son Rohan reshape his dreams, will touch the viewers’ hearts and every single person with a mother/mother figure can relate to this show. Like rightly said in the promo, ever since you were a child, you turn towards your mother for all the things you found impossible at the time. Mothers are the superwomen with no cape, but they have a solution for everything. Even if Kaku can’t give Rohan a solution, she is determined do everything in her power to soothe him down and help him through a difficult storm. Though Rohan feels he can sail through every situation because he has grown up now, but the fact is “You’re never too old to need your mother”. Indiawaali Maa is an ode to motherhood.

2. Tell us about your character, Hasmukh?

A chilled-out father and a loving husband, Hasmukh has given his best to try to provide the best for his family. He’s a very practical person who keeps convincing his wife that his son might have forgotten his parents, but Kaku keeps calling him in disbelief that her son is distant. He is prudent and witty, yet romantic. Going for yoga with Kaku and giving all that she desires is what drives him. He couldn’t be a role model for his son, but did his best to provide for his education in US

3. How is this role different from anything that you have done before?

I have played various roles and I have also played father before, but none of them are as liberal and practical as Hasmukh. Hasmukh is very close to my heart because just from the promo you can see how he has given his son the freedom to make his own decisions and learn from his own mistakes in life. Fathers are usually supposed to be the strict ones and the disciplinarians in the family, but Hasmukh is a very contemporary and a forward-looking father.

4. Do you relate to Hasmukh in real life?

Hasmukh is a witty, strong headed yet a lovable character. He loves his wife Kaku dearly and he has done everything in his power to provide everything for his son Rohan. But the quality that we share is his practicality towards life. Realist by nature, he sees life as it is and tries to make the best of every situation.

5. How is your rapport with your co-stars?

Rapport with co-stars is fantastic, we had a great time and always appreciate each other work. Suchita is a very cooperative co-actor and we have a ball while shooting. We do have a funny relationship off camera too where we burst out into fits of random laughter after completing some scenes because I tend to crack a joke before the scene commences. It’s great to have a good rapport with your co-stars.

The show, Indiawali Maa airs on August 31.

Mansi Bagla & filmmaker G. Ashok purchase rights of three superhit South films for Hindi remake under the banner 'Mini Films'

Mansi Bagla & renowned film-maker G. Ashok have collaborated together under the banner of Mini Films and have purchased rights of three super hit South Indian films for Hindi Remakes. These films have already had a proven track record in the South markets and will now be remade into Hindi features. As per sources, the preparation has begun and these films will be on floor as soon as possible. This news comes as a pleasant surprise for the Industry as the ongoing pandemic has pushed the entertainment into a lull.

Mansi Bagla & filmmaker G. Ashok purchase rights of three superhit South films for Hindi remake under the banner 'Mini Films'

While G. Ashok is also currently busy with the Hindi film, remake of Bhaagamathie-Durgavati starring Bhumi Pednekar, Mansi is simultaneously gearing up for her directorial debut with a Marathi film, which will be a remake of 2017 super hit Telugu romantic comedy- Ninnu Kori. Speaking about the new spate of developments in her fledgling production house Mansi quipped, "Acquiring rights of three south films and contemplating my directorial debut has not happened overnight. It’s the result of a robust groundwork along with my team for years. I am not backed by any insider or outsider and I have come till here on my own with my hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I want to be known because of my skills and I am ready to work 24x7 with good collaborations. I have prepared myself and done my homework. I am not here to make B & C grade films just to see my name on the screen. I could have done that long back, I want to make and work on quality cinema."

On her collaboration with G. Ashok, Mansi said, "I fell in love with cinema at a really young age and direction has been my dream forever. Learning has always been important for me, and I have met so many directors and writers, all noticed the hunger and passion inside me which doubled my confidence. G. Ashok Sir showed me a way and under his training and mentorship, today I am all ready to direct my first film. The content in Marathi industry is very rich and stories are told true to form. After meeting G. Ashok sir I firmed up my decision because I know he will guide me in the right direction. He is my brother and I consider him as a mentor. Through my journey I have met many directors and writers but it is his push which gave me the confidence to embark on a directorial journey. Every conversation with him is a learning experience and I’m extremely grateful for this positive association. At a time when the industry is already grappling with the pandemic and negativity stemming from the ongoing debate on nepotism one can get swayed easily. There are challenges in every industry and every profession you can either choose to crib or act. I believe that if you are dedicated to something it will give you results. I have always had a knack for storytelling but turning it into a business venture especially for an outsider has been uphill, I’m sure there will be more challenges coming my way but that is also what I have thrived on."

Mini Films is working on developing various stories and acquiring good scripts. They are also working on developing a Horror- comedy story with writer director Raaj Shaandilyaa (Dream Girl). It was Mansi’s idea to bring Raj & G. Ashok together as one is the King of comedy and other is the King in the horror genre.

Mansi, who has proved her mettle with her family venture of real estate, chose to make her big-ticket announcements on her birthday to herald in a new phase, despite all odds. Mansi who celebrates her birthday on 31st August feels she got the best birthday gift with blessings of MA Sharda and Vasudev.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family needs to give a lot of answers

Nobody is saying this aloud for the fear of being trolled savagely. But the truth is, a substantial number of people in the film industry are wondering how Sushant Singh Rajput’s family was not aware of his mental condition.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s family needs to give a lot of answers

The family has repeatedly accused Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of administering the wrong medicines to him when in fact Sushant’s family was not only aware of his psychological struggles, they were also aware of the medicines that were being given to Sushant for his mental condition.

A Whatsapp chat between Sushant’s sister and Sushant’s manager reveals that a prescription of the medicines for Sushant for various serious mental illnesses was sent to the sister. If this is an authentic conversation, why is the family repeatedly saying that they had no knowledge of Sushant’s mental conflicts and that all his problems, psychological and financial surfaced only after Rhea came into Sushant’s life?

Why is the family so wary of taking responsibility for their only son’s struggle with paranoia and isolation in his final days? Rhea left Sushant when, apparently, she couldn’t handle his deteriorating mental health. Wasn’t it right for Sushant’s family to rush and salvage the situation in Sushant’s life?

While Sushant was in and out of hospitals, his father apparently sent a text to Rhea asking for an air ticket so he could visit his son.

Does this sound like a family where the scion is staring at self-destruction? Does this family even acknowledge that their son was in the need of serious care? Could it be that the narrative of a very popular very healthy very intelligent man who was honey trapped by a gold digger, not only makes great TRPs but also serves as great alibi for those who failed in their duty as family?

Sushant Singh Rajput never met Ankita Lokhande after their split

It is a little strange to see Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex Ankita Lokhande, with whom he split in 2016 never to look back, get so deeply involved in his life after his death. The truth is, she was no part of his life after they split in 2016. Once they moved apart, they moved away irreversibly to other directions, never to meet again.

Sushant Singh Rajput never met Ankita Lokhande after their split

Never to speak again. In fact I remember asking Sushant if he was in touch with Ankita since their split. His answer was a firm, “No not at all.” Now suddenly she is emphatically present in the thick of the tragedy. It is touching to see Ms Lokhande taking such a keen interest in getting justice for Sushant. But did she try even once to find out how he was when he had stopped meeting his old friends and withdrawn into a shell?

If even a fraction all the concern that is pouring in from every conceivable place had been spared during Sushant’s lifetime, perhaps he would have been with us today. It is easy to pin the blame on the last person who spent time with Sushant. But the fact is all those who are now shedding tears were not there for Sushant when he needed them the most.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister’s WhatsApp chats with ex-manager Shruti Modi suggest that they were aware about his medical condition

New facts are being revealed almost every day with regards to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. On one hand, Sushant’s family refused to have any knowledge regarding his medical condition and said that they were not informed by Rhea Chakraborty about his health. However, a recently discovered WhatsApp chat between the late actor’s ex-manager, Shruti Modi, and his sister Nitu Singh suggests otherwise.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister’s WhatsApp chats with ex-manager Shruti Modi suggest that they were aware about his medical condition

Nitu Singh, whom he lovingly addressed as Rani Di is seen asking Shruti about the prescriptions and a doctor that can come home. The chat reads that Shruti had sent across a medical prescription that had medicines like, Serta, Clonotril, Oleanz, and Qutipin. Along with the medicines’ names, Shruti had also sent across the contact of a certain Dr. Susan Walker Psychotherapy. These chats refute the claim of Sushant’s family being unaware of his mental health.

As of now, the CBI is investigating the case while the Narcotics department is looking through the drug angle in the case and the Enforcement Directorate looks at the financial aspect.

After watching the interview, South actress Lakshmi Manchu said that she was pained by the media trial. “I thought a lot about if I should respond or not. I see so many people so silent because the media has made a monster out of a girl. I don’t know the truth and I want to know the truth and I hope the truth will come out in the most honest way. I have complete trust in the judiciary system and all the agencies that are involved in bringing justice to Sushant,” she wrote in a long note.

Responding to her note, Taapsee Pannu said, "I didn’t know Sushant on a personal level nor do I know Rhea but what I know is, it only takes to be a human to understand how wrong it is to overtake the judiciary to convict someone who isn’t proven guilty. Trust the law of the land for your sanity and the deceased’s sanctity."

BREAKING: Yash Raj Films to produce Tiger Shroff’s Rambo for Rohit Dhawan and Siddharth Anand?

Some days back, it was revealed that Rohit Dhawan has replaced Siddharth Anand as the director for the official Indian adaptation of the Hollywood cult franchise, Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo. The Hindi version will be led by Tiger Shroff, who is all charged up to step into his idol’s shoes. Bollywood Hungama has now exclusively learnt that the Rambo remake will be produced by the number one production house of India, Yash Raj Films.

BREAKING: Yash Raj Films to produce Tiger Shroff’s Rambo for Rohit Dhawan and Siddharth Anand?

“Siddharth Anand had the rights of Rambo for a while now and always had the plans of spinning a desi version with Tiger. However, the film kept getting delayed, first due to War and then due to his upcoming venture Pathan which is a battle royal between Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. Sid has a deal with YRF and with not enough time in his hands to direct Rambo, he decided to partner with YRF to spin a franchise with Tiger Shroff,” a source told Bollywood Hungama. Sid has already signed a multi-film deal with the production house and the association on Rambo has just strengthened their bond further. “It will be a co-production of YRF and Sid, with the latter being involved in script and other creative aspects of the film too. The studio is in talks with Rohit to helm the franchise, however the young director is yet to sign on for the film.”

The source also shared that there is a lot of time before Rambo goes on the floors as Tiger will wrap up a two films including Heropanti 2 before moving on to Rambo. “The earliest it can go on the floors is by the end of 2021, as even Rohit has to finish his next family entertainer with Kartik Aaryan, which kicks off in February. Only after that will he move on to Rambo,” the source shared. Rambo is Sid and Tiger’s baby, which is the reason why both have partnered with the best in business, Yash Raj Films for the actioner. “After War, even YRF wanted to work with Tiger again, considering that he is one of the most bankable action stars in today’s time. Sid is tied up with too many things, and hence decided to pass on the baton to Rohit Dhawan, who is his friend. Next one year will be consumed in Pathan, following which he will move on to scripting War 2.”

Like the original, even Desi Rambo will be a multi-film franchise, with some unheard action scenes mounted on a huge scale. “It’s a massive franchise, no doubts. However, this one won’t be a part of YRF Project 50. The announcement will be made next year only once the director and script is locked. Right now it’s in the early stage of discussion.” In the other news, YRF Project 50 announcement is expected to be made on September 27.

Picture of Kangana Ranaut posing with Sandip Ssingh and Rangoli Chandel goes viral 

A photo of actress Kangana Ranaut happily posing with her sister Rangoli Chandel and producer Sandip Ssingh is doing the rounds on the internet. On June 14, when Sushant Singh Rajput passed away, Sandip Ssingh posted an emotional note in memory of the actor and said that Ankita Lokhande was the only one who could have saved him. 

Sandip Ssingh had shared a long emotional post describing the bond he shared with the late actor and Ankita Lokhande. “I know that only you could've saved him. I wish you both got married as we dreamt. You could've saved him if he just let you be there...You were his girlfriend, his wife, his mother, his best friend forever. I love you Ankita. I hope I never lose a friend like you. I won't be able to take it,” he wrote in his post addressing to Ankita.

Dear Ankita, with each passing day, one thought keeps haunting me over and over again. Kaash... I wish... We could have tried even harder, we could've stopped him, we could've begged him! Even when you both seperated, you only prayed for his happiness and success... Your love was pure. It was special. You still haven't removed his name from the nameplate of your house❤️ I miss those days, when the three of us stayed together in lokhandwala as a family, we shared so many moments which bring tears to my heart today...cooking together, eating together, ac ka paani girna, our special Mutton bhaat, our long drives to uttan, lonavala or Goa! Our crazy holi! Those laughs we shared, those sensitive low phases of life when we were there for each other, you more than anyone. The things you did to bring a smile on Sushant's face. Even today, I believe that only you two were made for each other. You both are true love. These thoughts, these memories are hurting my heart...how do I get them back! I want them back! I want 'us three' back! Remember the Malpua!? And how he asked for my mother's Mutton curry like a little kid! I know that only you could've saved him. I wish you both got married as we dreamt. You could've saved him if he just let you be there...You were his girlfriend, his wife, his mother, his best friend forever. I love you Ankita. I hope I never lose a friend like you. I won't be able to take it.

Back then Rangoli Chandel took to her Instagram handle and even reposted Sandip's post and lauded him. Referring to his post, she wrote, "You are right, wish there was a way to block those blinding lights of show business and it’s fake promises, wish there was a way to block the mirage that movie mafia flash at every outsider who is loaded with talent, grit and ambition (sic)."

So nicely written Sandeep, he hired a fancy Bollywood PR, she works for movie mafia she told him you need exciting pair to create media frenzy like your contemporaries, here people don’t fall in love because they are in love here every thing is branding, build your brand this is the time forget your personal weaknesses now, date a super model like Ranveer or Ranbir or someone with connections who comes from film family, it’s not good for your image to live in Malad with a tv actress if you want to be in the big league you must behave like them, walk like them, live where they live otherwise you will always be a struggling tv actor, Ankita and Shushant had bought a house together he left, she was devastated but they broke his backbone, he shifted to Bandra, these fake friends surrounded him he started to date super models but he was lost, when I had known this long back because of common friends I thought to myself all this won’t help, and that’s exactly what happened no matter what he did they didn’t accept him they didn’t let him live either, their strategy worked soon fake PR and friends left and he got lonely and depressed, they used this opportunity to hit him even harder with more nasty gossiping and bigger bans and finally he left ...... you are right wish there was a way to block those blinding lights of show business and it’s fake promises .... wish there was a way to block the mirage that movie mafia flash at every outsider who is loaded with talent, grit and ambition ... ????

Meanwhile, the case is now also being probed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after an alleged drug angle surfaced. There have been allegations against Sandip Ssingh of alleged drug links. Apart from that, the Maharashtra Government received requests to probe Ssingh's links with the BJP. Following this, Home Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh said on Saturday that he will forward all requests to investigate producer Sandip Ssingh’s alleged drug links to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Earlier, Rajput’s family’s lawyer, advocate Vikas Singh, mentioned that no one from SSR’s family knows Sandip Ssingh. Even Rhea Chakraborty said that she never saw Sandip or heard of him from the SSR in the last one year.
