The problems that plague the production and casting of Mogul, the Gulshan Kumar biopic are far from over. Having gotten rid of the
tainted director Subhash Kapoor (accused of sexual assault) producer Bhushan Kumar has coaxed Aamir Khan to return to the project.
But only as co-producer.
The news that Aamir would be playing Gulshan Kumar is being dismissed by sources close to the project as “premature, if not false.”
“After Akshay Kumar ’s exit, Bhushan has been trying his level best to convince Aamir Khan to play Gulshan Kumar but with little luck.
There are many controversial areas of Gulshan Kumar’s life that Aamir doesn’t want to get into,” says the source.
It is unlikely that Aamir will step in to play the lead in Mogul. Then the question is, who? After Akshay Kumar had unceremoniously
exited the project (he even returned the signing amount) Bhushan had vowed to get a “bigger” star to play his father Gulshan Kumar.
Apparently, Salman was sounded out. But he declined. Aamir’s entry into the project proved a blessing.
But so far Bhushan has been unable to convince Aamir to play the music mogul who revolutionized the soundtrack business but
unfortunately met with a violent end when he was gunned down, allegedly by the underworld.
Aamir’s next release is the much-awaited Thugs of Hindostan that sees him share screen space with Amitabh Bachchan and Katrina Kaif.
The film is set for a Diwali release on November 7.

What is a healthy diet?

A healthy diet is a well-balanced diet. In order to feel well and strive towards our full physical potential and well-being, we need to always
consider what we ingest. What do we need, anyway, in order to function well?
Proteins: to help our bodies repair and grow tissues
Carbohydrates: the main source of energy
Vitamins: to help the body function at its fullest capacity
We also need fats, occasionally, for energy and for protection and safety of the body.
Any weight-loss diet should include all of these, if the diet wants to be a long-term, healthy commitment rather than a sharp, short-term
weight-loss method.
Keeping the balance right is very important. There are many diets and each different diet has slightly different ratios between the foods.
One diet worth considering (and eventually tweaking) is the Mediterranean diet. The pyramid shows the ratios that this diet suggests.

The Mediterranean diet is a great strong
base for a healthy diet: however, it is
important to keep in mind two main things.
That exercise is of the utmost importance
when following any type of diet
That carbohydrates can and should be
reduced if you want to lose weight and
your exercise is low to moderate.
Having considered these two elements
then, it is recommended to change
the ratio of carbs and veggies to 1:1.
Otherwise, veggies might also be the
primary component of the diet and carbs
could be cut down a bit.
To finish off with carbs: it is important
to consider which type of carbs you are
consuming. In fact, grains and wholemeal
bread is much healthier than white bread
and if you are thinking of losing weight
safely, you might want to consider these
as alternatives to your normal loaf of white
bread (either permanently or temporarily).
Do not forget to write down what you
eat, especially when beginning a new
diet: you might think you are having
crisps rarely but maybe you are actually
consuming a packet every other day.
Crisps are a particularly easy food to pack
and have without being fully conscious.
Try to substitute them with carrots, or any other veggies. You might struggle at first, but in a few days you might notice the difference
already.
Finally, remember: it is important to keep in mind that change does not happen overnight. If you keep on changing a small thing regarding
your diet every week, you will gradually get in the habit of eating healthily. Balance is everything: if you have a bigger meal than normal
one day, don’t despair and try to make up for it by cutting down the next day. Oh, and most importantly: don’t forget to drink water.
Drinking loads is essential to keep your metabolism going!

appealing storyline. The franchise further elevated its popularity
with the second installment emerging to be one of the highest
grossers of 2018.
While Tiger Shroff has already started prepping for the third
installment, the makers are looking at fresh faces or A-lister
actresses for Baaghi 3.
Tiger is learning and practising different stunts as part of his rigorous
training. The makers will arrange for special rehearsal sessions
involving stunt experts from India and abroad to design new action
sequences.
The makers need to up the ante, since Baaghi 2 has been one of
the highest grossers this year, and fan expectations from the third
movie will be raised accordingly. Tiger’s training includes learning
to use weapons such as M16, AT4 and rocket launchers.
The script for Baaghi 3 is almost ready. The film, which will be
directed by Ahmed Khan, will have more action and drama.
Tiger will be seen in a different avatar, too. Sajid Nadiadwala has
been getting enquiries from established female stars for the film.
However, the makers are yet to decide whether they’ll zero in on a
new face or an A-lister.

Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra
shoot in a ‘Tabela’ for Jabariya Jodi

Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra who are currently shooting for Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Jabariya Jodi’ recorded a
wedding sequence in a cowshed for the film.
The leading duo shot for a wedding sequence in a real ‘Tabela’ amongst cows and were stuck in the stable for over 13 hours.

Director Prashant Singh wanted to shoot the sequence in a real tabela and insisted to shoot it as conceptualized as he was sure of the
scene.
The makers of the film had made elaborate wedding decorations paying attention to all the details inside the tabela to make it seem
authentic. If anybody would walk in and out of the shed, everything would go haywire. So, both Sidharth and Parineeti decided they
wouldn’t move out of the location or go to their vanity vans during the break. Instead, everything was arranged inside the tabela for them.
They also took shorter breaks and the shoot progressed at a brisk pace.
Jabariya Jodi presents an interesting take on Bihar’s pakadwa vivaah (kidnapping the groom to get him forcibly married), Sidharth
Malhotra suggested the interesting name to the film.
The film which went on floors a few months back is being shot in and around Lucknow.
Starring Aparshakti Khurrana as Parineeti Chopra’s friend, Sanjay Mishra as her father, Neeraj Sood as her father’s friend, Gopal Dutt
as an inspector, Javed Jaffrey as Sidharth Malhotra’s father and Chandan Roy Sanyal as his friend, ‘Jabariya Jodi promises intriguing
performances along with the leading duo, Parineeti and Sidharth.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures and Shailesh Singh’s Karma Media Net, Jabariya Jodi directed by

104 |DALLAS | NOVEMBER 2018 | VOL 158 Rajkummar Rao - Nargis Fakhri

have the best chemistry ever says

the director of ‘5 Weddings’

Rajkummar Rao - Nargis Fakhri have the best chemistry ever says the
director of ‘5 Weddings’
Raj and Nargis have the best chemistry ever`, says the director,
Namrata Singh Gujral of 5 Weddings. While shooting for a dance sequence, the
director wanted the actors, Nargis, and Rajkummar to improvise to the music.
The crew on the set thought they would at least take two days to finish the shoot
of this song, but the actors took everyone by surprise and even before anyone
could realize both of them were taking turns in leading each other.
They were choreographing each other, laughing and having so much fun
while shooting for the dance sequence, overall it turned out to be an effortlessly
beautiful song.
`Needless to say, not only did we finish that night - but the editors also had
a tough time picking their dance moves. They were so well synced and self-
choreographed. I realize that actors with Bollywood backgrounds definitely
come with special benefits,` added Namrata.
One of the best moments of shooting on 5 Weddings of the director was the
times they were just driving around in circles because the bumpy roads would
not allow them to shoot. The DOP on the movie Christo Bakalov had a crazy time
with the cast since they would break into a song and once you hit the smooth
road they wouldn’t be in their form for him to shoot. As Namrata recalls, `He
would get so mad and start scolding us - we would try and stop - but sometimes
he ran the camera and we were still rolling on the floor. We also had one of our
sound guys in the back and Christo would yell, ‘Rajesh, do not laugh. I can see
your belly move’. We would crack up even more`
The sets of 5 Weddings never had a dull moment with the star cast and the
director having a good time laughing along with the entire crew. While it might
have annoyed the DOP who couldn’t get his perfect shot, it definitely didn’t stop
the team from having a great time together. The three have expressed their
affection for one another with Rajkummar Rao commenting at Stree’s success
party that, `I have immense respect for our director (5 Weddings), Namrata
Singh Gujral. She is a wonderful lady`.
Nargis Fakhri comments to a recent UK publication that, `Namrata is a dream
to work with. I am very fortunate and blessed.` To both of which Gujral responds
`Raj and Nargis are both terrific actors and great human beings. We did not just
have fun in there but there was absolute joy on the sets with these two bringing
their crazy, loving spirits to location every day`. The film is produced & directed
by USA based Namrata Gujral.
This film under the banner of Uniglobe Entertainment & Amaash Films is
distributed & presented by Media International in India & is all set to release in
Hindi & English on 26th October, 2018.

‘I don’t want to play the villain anymore’,
confesses Jim Sarbh

Bollywood’s newest villain Jim Sarbh gets candid and opens up about his journey from being a theatre actor to a super-villain in
Bollywood.

Jim, best known for essaying unusual roles, from a terrorist, to a slave to a drug peddler, has pulled off every role with perfection.
However, when quizzed on the one
thing he does not want to do in a
movie, he confessed, `I am sick of
playing villains. I am not going to play
a villain for a while. It’s not because
I don’t like that kind of acting or don’t
want to do it, but because I want to
try other things now. One must say
no to some opportunities to open the
possibilities of others. Else, I will only
remain a bad guy!`

Acting, it seems, is Jim’s destiny, as
he explained. `As you know, before
entering the glamorous world of
Bollywood, I was into theatre where I
played varied roles, from a lover boy
to a servant. I’ve been doing plays
ever since school. There’s never
really been a stop to it. Except for
one year, when I went off wandering
around and stayed at an ashram for
five months. Even there I was cast
as Jesus in a play! There was no
escaping, so I came back to acting.”

Jim is unpredictable in every sense,
from his selection of characters to
the way he carries himself in public.
He is unaffected by the glamorous
world of Bollywood but has certainly
had the right effect on people, having
built a substantial fan following. And
while the audience is going gaga
over his negative role in his recent
film, ‘Sanju’, we can only wait for his
next unconventional performance.

Learnt the lesson of celebrating incompleteness

with grit & courage: Shah Rukh Khan

Following the stellar display of talent by the Para Athletes at the Rio Paralympics 2016, the Paralympic Committee of India arranged
for a ceremonial send-off to the contingent for the Asian Para Games. The event was attended by Padma Shri Shah Rukh Khan,
who shared a few words of motivation and spent time interacting with the departing contingent.
Shah Rukh Khan took on to his social media to share his experience saying “Thx to the Paralympic Committee of India & Mr. Rao to allow
me to get inspired by the Paralympic Contingent of boys & girls. Learnt the lesson of celebrating incompleteness with grit & courage. Jao
& Chak Doh Phatte !! Lov & best wishes to all of u”

around 200 Athletes participating in 14 sports disciplines. Our athletes have
been practising really hard & I convey my best wishes to all of them. Hope
our contingent brings glory to the nation by giving its best ever performance in
the Asian Games.

Wishing the athletes present at the event for the upcoming challenge, Shah Rukh
Khan said- I feel fortunate that I got a chance to meet these young achievers who
are breaking boundaries and have done the country proud. Their stories inspire us to
fill the incompleteness that we feel in our lives with hope and compassion. I wish the
contingent all the very best in this upcoming challenge and will be rooting for them as

they make new records.
The afternoon saw a mix of elite Para-Athletes and as well as young first
timers looking to create records at the international stage.The event was
supported by Kolkata Knight Riders, co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan and
Meer Foundation, that has been named after the actor’s late father.

Kedarnath: Sushant - Sara showcase the

power of love in the first look

The makers of Kedarnath have released the first look poster of
the much awaited film. Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput and
Sara Ali Khan, the poster gives a glimpse into the refreshing
chemistry of the leading duo.
After treating the audience with the poster, the makers will soon be
unveiling the teaser of the film.
Kedarnath is a potent combination of love and religion, of passion
and spirituality.
Set on a 14km pilgrimage from Gauri Kund to Kedarnath ( the 2000
year old temple of Lord shiva ), this is a lovestory between Mansoor
and Mukku played by Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan
respectively.
Mansoor, a reserved and reticent Pithoo ( porter ) who lives with his
widowed mother, in a hamlet called Rambara helps pilgrims make
an arduous journey upwards to the temple town. His world goes into
a tailspin as he encounters the beautiful and rebellious Mukku who
sucks him into a whirlwind of intense love.
The mountain tsunami that wrecked the temple town in the June of
2013 leaving more than a hundred thousand dead sets the backdrop
for this epic love story.
Kedarnath marks the debut of Sara Ali Khan, the film also presents
the second association of Abhishek Kapoor with Ronnie Screwvala
along Sushant Singh Rajput after Kai Po Che.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP and Abhishek Kapoor’s Guy
In the Sky Pictures, Kedarnath is directed by Abhishek Kapoor and is
slated to release on 7th December 2018.
