Jacqueline Fernandez sets stage for OTT’s biggest dance sequence with 200 background dancers in thriller series Goat: Report

While OTT platforms have become synonymous with gripping narratives and character-driven stories, larger-than-life dance numbers haven’t exactly been a defining feature. However, with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s opulent period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar breaking the mold, a new wave might be upon us. Leading the charge on the digital dance floor is none other than Jacqueline Fernandez.

According to a report in Mid-day, Fernandez is gearing up to set the screen ablaze with a vibrant dance sequence in her upcoming web series, aptly titled Goat. According to sources, the sequence boasts a whopping 200 background dancers, making it a strong contender for the title of biggest dance number ever seen in Indian digital entertainment.

The series, a thriller helmed by director Abhishek Sharma, stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Siddharth Nigam in pivotal roles. Details about the plot are still under wraps, but the sheer scale of the dance sequence hints at its significance within the narrative.

Sources close to the production revealed that Fernandez filmed the elaborate number over two days at Shiloh Bar in Andheri. To prepare for the high-energy routine, Fernandez went through a rigorous training regime for two weeks under the guidance of choreographer Ruel Varindani.  Varindani has reportedly put together a visually stunning number that blends contemporary and hip-hop styles. The filming location itself required a grand set-up, and the area was cordoned off to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted shoot.

While dance numbers might seem like an unusual addition to the typically character-driven world of OTT shows, insiders suggest this particular sequence plays a crucial role in the story’s progression. A source elaborated, stating, “It serves as a turning point in the story, bringing the central characters’ journeys to an interesting juncture.”

Bad Newz makers take a hilarious dig at Kabir Singh; Vicky Kaushal-Triptii Dimri-Ammy Virk starrer also has an Animal connection

The much-awaited film Bad Newz has released today in cinemas and is off to a strong start. This has been possible due to a great response to the trailer and songs, an amusing subject and great casting, that is, Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. The moviegoers, who’ll venture out to watch the comic caper, will be in for a treat as the makers have made a reference to several Bollywood films and songs. A few of them were shown in the trailer like the dialogues on Katrina Kaif, Tiger Shroff etc. but there’s a lot more in the film.

One of the most hilarious scenes in this regard is when a character makes a reference to the 2019 blockbuster Kabir Singh. Through this scene, the makers take a hilarious and witty dig at the film’s controversial content. The said one-liner comes at a crucial juncture and in the press screening, held last night in Mumbai, it was greeted with claps and hooting.

Kabir Singh was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga who later went on to direct the blockbuster Animal. Along with Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, it also starred Triptii Dimri, who incidentally also stars in Bad Newz. Triptii has been doing some great work from the start but it was Animal that gave her popularity a big boost. Thanks to this film, she got nicknames like ‘national crush’ and ‘Bhabhi 2’. In a hilarious move, the makers of Bad Newz have used these terms in a very important scene, when a character is referring to Saloni Bagga (played by Triptii Dimri).

Besides Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk, Bad Newz also stars Neha Dhupia and Sheeba Chadha along with special appearances by Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma. It is directed by Anand Tiwari and produced by Karan Johar of Dharma Productions, Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra of Leo Media Collective Pvt Ltd and Manish Menghani of Amazon Prime.

BREAKING: Ananya Panday, Neha Sharma have crucial cameos in Bad Newz

The much-awaited film Bad Newz has released today in cinemas and is off to a strong start. This has been possible due to a great response to the trailer and songs, an amusing subject and great casting. The moviegoers who’ll venture out to watch the comic caper will expect some great entertainment from its lead cast – Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. However, they’ll be surprised to know that two more gorgeous actresses also feature in this film.

It turns out that Ananya Panday has a very crucial cameo in Bad Newz. Her presence gives an interesting addition to the film’s plot. In the opening disclaimers, ‘Thank You Ananya Panday’ is duly mentioned.

And that’s not all. At another crucial juncture, Neha Sharma makes an appearance as well. She looks ravishing and her presence further contributes to the laughter quotient of the film.

Cameos or supporting roles by popular actors usually make a film more exciting. Karan Johar, one of the producers of Bad Newz, has been doing this since his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). It starred Salman Khan who all of a sudden entered the narrative in the second half of the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-Rani Mukerji starrer and surprised the audiences as they had no idea about his presence.

In today’s times, however, it is difficult to hide such special appearances as news often gets leaked to the press. But Ananya Panday and Neha Sharma’s presence in Bad Newz was a well-kept secret and nobody, outside of the film unit, got a hint about it.

Another fun, quirky appearance in the film is that of Gajraj Rao. He hasn’t acted in the film; he plays a dead person and his photo can be seen hanging on the wall. Funnily, ‘Fatherly appearance Gajraj Rao’ is mentioned at the very beginning of the end credits.

Besides all these actors, Bad Newz also stars Neha Dhupia and Sheeba Chadha. It is directed by Anand Tiwari and produced by Karan Johar of Dharma Productions, Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra of Leo Media Collective Pvt Ltd and Manish Menghani of Amazon Prime.

EXCLUSIVE: Kalki 2898 AD makers sue Sumit Kadel & Rohit Jaiswal for Rs. 25 crores for their defamatory tweets on them and Prabhas-starrer

The makers of Kalki 2898 AD have sent a legal notice to two Kolkata-based individuals, namely Sumit Kadel and Rohit Jaiswal, for their tweets against their film and for claiming that the collections of the Pan-India film, given out by the producers, are fake.

A source exclusively told Bollywood Hungama, “Sumit Kadel has received the copy of the legal notice while Rohit Jaiswal should get it by the end of Friday, July 19 or latest by Saturday.”

When asked for more details, the source replied, “Both these individuals infamously known as samosa critics in the industry claimed on their social media accounts that the makers of Kalki 2898 AD are wilfully putting out fake figures. They have been tweeting about it on a regular basis. Their tweets were slanderous and amounted to calling the producers as cheaters.”

The source further said, “The legal notice states that both Sumit Kadel and Rohit Jaiswal will now have to cite their source for the collections of Kalki 2898 AD, which they have given out and which they have claimed are the real earnings. That’s not all. They’ll also have to submit daily collections with a territorial breakup to back up their claim. If they fail to do so within a stipulated time frame, both will be liable to pay the producers a fine of Rs. 25 crores for publishing blatant lies and fake narratives, which have been their hallmark. No wonder they are known as samosa critics.”

A source close to the production house confirmed these developments to Bollywood Hungama.

This is the second time this year that Sumit Kadel has got in the news for the wrong reasons. Earlier this year, during the release of the action entertainer Crakk, its lead actor and producer Vidyut Jammwal wrote about him and the tweet went viral in no time. He wrote, “Asking for bribe is a crime ,and giving one is a crime too!!”My crime “is not giving??? #sumitkadel…so everytime you praise someone -we know the criminal..”

EXCLUSIVE: Fawad Khan BREAKS SILENCE on Bollywood comeback with a rom-com: “Baatein ho rahi hoti hain…”

After an eight-year hiatus, the Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan is primed for a triumphant return to the Hindi silver screen. Khan is set to star alongside the stunning Vaani Kapoor in a new romantic comedy, marking a highly anticipated comeback for the beloved actor. This exciting news comes as a sigh of relief for cinephiles who have dearly missed Khan’s captivating presence on screen. His last Bollywood appearance in 2016’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil left a void that couldn’t be easily filled. His next is reported to be with Vaani Kapoor, set in London.

Fawad Khan kept his cards close to his chest in an upcoming interview with Bollywood Hungama, out on Saturday, July 20. When asked about his next project, he offered a playful smile but remained tight-lipped. He said, “Baatein ho rahi hoti hain. Again, kuch concrete hoga toh main zaroor aapko bataunga, aapke saath share karunga. Kis tarah main chhupa sakta hoon?”

Details surrounding the film remain under wraps. However, sources close to the project have confirmed that filming will kick off in September in the picturesque city of London. Bollywood Hungama reported that this international project, entirely shot in the UK, marks the debut collaboration for Eastwood Studios, a film company founded by industry veterans Vivek B. Agrawal (formerly of Reliance/Phantom) and Devang Dholakia.

Vivek has previously produced acclaimed and cult films like Queen, Udta Punjab, Super 30 and Netflix’s first series in India, Sacred Games which became a global blockbuster on the platform.

This rom-com tells the story of how two broken people come together by a stroke of luck and end up helping each other unintentionally…falling in love is an eventual byproduct of their electric connection. “Vaani Kapoor has been a part of big films, and she was the perfect choice for this project, given how she has protected herself from being over-exposed. The makers wanted an incredibly fresh casting where Fawad falls in love with a gorgeous Indian girl and Vaani fit right in,” informs the source.

However, Fawad Khan was last seen in Pakistan’s highest-grossing blockbuster The Legend of Maula Jatt, Money Back Guarantee and the international series Ms. Marvel.

On the work front, Fawad Khan has several projects in the pipeline. Starting with ZEE5 and Zindagi’s Barzakh, set for a July 19 release globally. This will be followed by Shandur, apparently set for the SonyLIV platform. He also has Pakistan’s first Netflix project Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo. The actor also is producing and starring in Neelofar with Mahira Khan.
