TEAMS FUN AND FAIR

Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is the hottest topic of discussion in trade circles at this point in time. Every single investigative reporter is on the lookout for updates on Jawan as Shah Rukh Khan fans on social media have been constantly on the lookout for the new date update. The team on Friday morning had locked August 25 as the release date and was set to announce it on Friday evening. But it seems that Shah Rukh Khan has devised an altogether new plan now.

The latest source informs us that Jawan has been delayed further and will now be a mid-September release. According to our source, Shah Rukh Khan has informed Atlee about his decision to bring the film in September 2023, to get a clear run till the release of Salaar.

The change of date was decided on Friday evening in order to maintain a proper gap between Jawan and Animal. "Shah Rukh Khan wants to come in a clear window and not be one of the many in the crowd. He is a lion by heart and wants things to be in his focus. He believes September will do justice to the release of Jawan," the source informed Bollywood Hungama.

Jawan is directed by Atlee and stars Shah Rukh Khan with Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupati.

The last major controversy of 2022 was regarding the statement of Prasoon Joshi over Pathaan. The chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) admitted that the film has undergone cuts as per the rulebook.

Bollywood Hungama has now learnt about the cut list in the film. The examining committee asked for more than 10 cuts, most of which are related to the dialogues. In two places, the word 'RAW' was replaced with 'Hamare' as per the context. 'Langde Lulle' was replaced by 'Toote Foote'. The word 'PMO' was removed while in 13 places, 'PM' was replaced either by President or Minister.

Then, 'Ashok Chakra' was removed and it was replaced by 'Veer Puraskar', 'ex-KGB' with 'ex-SBU' and 'Mrs Bharatmata' with 'Hamari Bharatmata'. In the dialogue 'Isse sasti scotch nahin mili', 'scotch' was replaced by 'drink'. Then a change was made in the text that appears at one point in the film whereby 'Black Prison, Russia' was replaced by 'Black Prison'.

Finally, three changes were made in the song 'Besharam Rang'. The close up shot of buttocks, 'side pose (partial nudity)' shots and visuals of sensuous dance movements during the lyrics 'Bahut tang kiya' were removed or curtailed and replaced with 'suitable shots'. The CBFC cut list, however, doesn't mention how many seconds of shots have been censored. Also it is not clear whether or not the shots of the orange swimsuit, that led to an uproar, have been retained.

After these changes were made, the CBFC granted the censor certificate to the makers of Pathaan on January 2. The film secured a U/A certificate and its length, as mentioned on the certificate, is 146 minutes. In other words, Pathaan is 2 hours and 26 minutes long.

Produced by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, Pathaan stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. It is directed by Siddharth Anand and releases on January 25, 2023.

The film is a visual spectacle enhanced by unprecedented graphics that have completely floored the audience. Ranbir Kapoor reveals what ultimately convinced him to bring Shiva to life. “When I first heard the idea, I immediately knew what a project like this could mean for our industry and our country. Brahmāstra is deeply rooted in Indian culture, and with the imagination, scale and technology Ayan wanted to use - it was going to be the first of its kind. The entire package was extremely exciting. But it was the core of the story - the fact that it was this unseen combination of modern and Ancient India, rooted in our culture and in themes we have grown up with, that I knew our audiences would relate to, that appealed to me the most,” he said.

Sharing his favourite sequence from the film, Ranbir Kapoor disclosed, “Shooting each and every sequence was an experience in itself, from the VFX and action to the more emotional scenes to the amazing scale of our songs - it was something I have never done before.

Bollywood superstar and fashion supernova Ranveer Singh and the iconic Italian super-luxury brand Gucci have some things in common - influential, innovative, progressive, path-breaking, eclectic, disruptive, unabashedly modern, and have a love for maximalism! This is a marriage made in heaven and so when Ranveer started donning and blazing the internet with breath-taking Gucci ensembles, it seemed like the two were long-lost lovers waiting to be united to create creative disruption in the Indian fashion industry.

And truth be told - Ranveer has single-handedly made Gucci appeal to Indians worldwide because the brand, with its heady style quotient, only appealed to a niche yet Uber-Lux clientele earlier. Ranveer, with his soaring popularity among Indians worldwide, has made Gucci become part of household conversations as he dishes out one incredible Gucci look after another, winning the internet for his eclectic fashion statements wearing the brand.

Who can forget how Ranveer broke the internet by channeling the Creative Director of Gucci, Alessandro Michele in a shoot. From the iconic long hair to the wide-brim hat and statement jewelry, Ranveer scored a hundred again for his brilliant Gucci look. He was also roped in to be the face of the iconic Adidas x Gucci collection as he unveiled some of his favourite looks from the much-anticipated collection, creating phenomenal hype globally in the fashion world.

Ranveer is the best bet for Gucci to build further brand resonance in the burgeoning luxury market in India. Ranveer, who has become the cultural ambassador of India to the West with his associations with FIFA World Cup, NBA, Premier League, UFC, YAS Island, Adidas, etc. is someone who is dearly loved by the youth of the country and his fashion choices have shaped how Indians approach fashion and style today. Ever since Ranveer started donning Gucci, it has spiked the interest Indians have for the brand. So, we feel it’s only a matter of time before Gucci and Ranveer come together for deeper and more strategic partnerships to shape a new era for Gucci in India - a country of about 1.4 billion people, most of whom are in their youth.
