SCOOP: Adah Sharma stars alongside Darsheel Safary in a ‘strange thriller’

Adah Sharma’s The Kerala Story is now the single most successful female-hero film of all times in Hindi. But Adah is already looking ahead. “In my next The Game Of Girgit, I play a cop. It’s a cool film based on this app called the Blue Whale app. There was this whole thing a few years back. This game created quite an uproar. It should release soon on an OTT platform,” she informed.

Adah was busy with other projects while shooting for The Kerala Story. “I’ve shot The Game Of Girgit and two more films before The Kerala Story. Kerala happened to release first. We shot The Game Of Girgit in Bhopal last August. There’s one more film I did with Darsheel Safary, who was in Taare Zameen Par. That’s also a strange thriller, a lot of fun and creepy,” added Adah.

Adah, who celebrated her birthday on May11, sheepishly admits that she received far more attention on this birthday than ever before.

Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani. The film tells the story of three college girls, who are persuaded to convert to Islam by a fellow female student.

Aamir Dalvi to make his Bollywood debut in Cannes-selected film Kennedy, directed by Anurag Kashyap

Aamir Dalvi is gearing up for his much-awaited entry into Bollywood with the film Kennedy, helmed by the critically acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap. Aamir has previously impressed audiences with his roles in popular shows such as Shapath-Supercops VS Supervillains, Sanskaar Laxmi, Devanshi, Zindagi’s Bhaage Re Mann, and Aladdin. Kennedy and its noir thriller storyline explore the theme of redemption against the backdrop of the pandemic, shedding light on its impact across various walks of life.

Aamir had the opportunity to collaborate with Anurag Kashyap, who is known for granting actors the creative freedom to approach their scenes and characters. Although initially nervous, Aamir soon discovered that Anurag’s distinctive style didn’t require extensive preparation from the actors. Instead, Anurag prefers them to be present on set and allows the magic to unfold naturally.

During rehearsals, Aamir found himself unsure of what to expect as he was given no specific instructions. However, when the first shot took place, Anurag’s excitement was palpable. Subsequently, Anurag meticulously explained the intricacies of the scene and the character, equipping Aamir with a comprehensive understanding of his role. This experience taught Aamir the valuable lesson that Anurag champions actors’ creative autonomy, enabling them to present their unique interpretation of a scene and character. In Kennedy, Aamir portrays the film’s antagonist, a character also seeking redemption.

Anuradha Paudwal clarifies that her comments were against the remix of ‘Aaj Phir Tum Pe’ and not Arijit Singh

Anuradha Paudwal has been in the news for the last couple of days for heavily criticizing the trend of remixes of old songs in new Bollywood movies. In an interview with Indian Express, she specifically spoke about the remix of her song ‘Aaj Phir Tum Pe’ from Dayavan, which was remixed in Hate Story 2, and expressed the kind of negative impact it had on her.

Paudwal has now clarified that her comments were against the remix of the song and not Arijt Singh in particular, who sung the remix along with Samira Koppikar. In a statement released, the veteran singer said, “I have always preferred the original song to a remix. Many people feel the same. My comment about ‘Aaj Phir Tum Pe’ was about the remix, not the singer. Remixes should do justice to the original song. So many 90s songs are redone but they don’t do any justice to the original. We have also done tributes to music composers but they were done gracefully.”

She added, “I would urge (the) respectable media not to sensationalise statements. Isn’t there enough in the world to talk about? If they must, let them speak about the cause we have taken up of gifting sound to the underprivileged.”

Recalling her reaction to the remix of ‘Aaj Phir Tum Pe’ remix, Paudwal had said, “That had happened when someone asked me to listen to this (remix) from Dayavan. That person told me it is a super-duper hit track and sent it to me. I was in tears when I heard it. I immediately switched to YouTube and heard my original song from the film multiple times. Tab jaake mere mann mein shaanti aayi (Only then I found peace).”
