Actress Alia Bhatt will be seen as a hockey player in the upcoming film Udta Punjab for which she took special coaching. Recently she shot for a song with real life hockey players who had come together from several colleges in Mumbai. The actress was moved by their motivation and said that the sport required a lot of hard work.

Alia said, “The girls were cool, tough and inspiring. There was so much that I learnt from them about the sport. It was a fun shoot as we clicked a few selfies.”

She has been a part of sports like football and handball during her school days. “Since I began practicing I have realised that hockey is a difficult sport and requires a lot of skill,” she added.

It took over a month and a half’s training for Alia to learn the correct postures of the sport. She was also trained by Shah Rukh Khan while shooting for Gauri Shinde’s film.

Alia said, “I was given a coach and we trained at a place in Bandra. I would reach at around 6 am.”

She will be seen opposite Shahid Kapoor in Udta Punjab which also features Kareena Kapoor Diljit Dosanjh in pivotal roles.

Directed by Abhishek Chaubey the film will release on June 17.

In the first sign of rapprochement after weeks of sparring, Kangana Ranaut today said she will not be giving any more statements to the media and claimed some “common people” were trying to amicably resolve the issue with Hrithik Roshan.

“In any event we would like everyone to know that some common people have started intervening in the matter and want the matter to be resolved amicably. Therefore, to end the matter on a positive note we shall not be giving any further statement to the media on the said matter, as the same has also been assured from their side,” Kangana said in a statement.

What started as a complaint by Hrithik against an alleged imposter has turned into an ugly public and legal battle between the two stars, with both coming up with allegations and counter-allegations against each other every other day. (PHOTOS: Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut’s fresh pictures partying with Sussanne Khan and Arjun Rampal)

The 42-year-old “Krrish” star and Kangana, 29, have slapped legal notices on each other for defamation.

Hrithik, the first to send the legal notice to Kangana, has demanded that she apologise in a press conference publicly and clear the air about their alleged affair which he firmly refutes. (Also read: New pictures of Kangana Ranaut partying with Hrithik Roshan and his ex-wife Sussanne emerge)

Kangana sent a counter-notice to the actor, alleging him of ‘slut-shaming’ by circulating private mails and photos.

The actress’ lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee said, “First and foremost I need to know who is representing Hrithik Roshan as an advocate on record, as the advocate seems to have been changed. The new advocate should come forward and give a proper statement in his name, so that we do not see legal statements being issued on public domain by anonymous persons.

“Besides what do they mean by stating that the image is photoshopped or doctored. Do they mean that it is not Kangana in the image or is it not Hrithik or is it their claim that the expressions or the body language of either Kangana and Hrithik have been altered?

“They need to be specific because the photograph was meant to prove a point that Hrithik had blatantly lied not knowing my client Kangana socially at all. That point has been sufficiently proved in all respects and therefore we need to move on and stop arguing uselessly.”

Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin says she is not bothered by rumours regarding her personal life and she ignores them completely.

Last month, reports surfaced that actor Farhan Akhtar and Kalki, both “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” co-stars, were dating each other.

When asked about reports mentioning her name, Kalki told PTI, “I don’t pay attention to them… I don’t talk about my personal life.”

While the 42-year-old “Rock On!” star announced his split earlier this year, Kalki, 32, and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap filed for divorce in 2015 after four years of marriage.

Kalki will be next seen in director Anu Menon’s “Waiting” opposite Naseeruddin Shah.

Though Anurag Kashyap’s last film “Bombay Velvet” did not live up to the expectations, actor-friend Nawazuddin Siddiqui says the director will mark a solid return to the big screen with his next “Raman Raghav 2.0”.

Raman Raghav, also known as Psycho Raman, was a psychopathic serial killer who terrorised the streets of Mumbai in the mid-1960s.

The thriller stars Nawazuddin in the role of the notorious serial killer and the “Bajrangi Bhaijan” actor says the film is one of the best works of Kashyap.

“Anurag Kashyap will definitely strike back with Raman Raghav. I am very sure about it. I can confidently say this is one of his best works. He has worked extremely hard for this one,” Nawazuddin told PTI.

The 41-year-old actor first worked with Kashyap in “Black Friday” and then featured in the two-part crime saga “Gangs of Wasseypur”.

Nawazuddin says the “Dev D” director brings out something unexpected out of him and is willing to explore the “unknown” territory.

“Working with him (Anurag) is always nice. He always gives me new dimensions to perform as an actor and lets me in a new territory. Together, we explore the unknown. Be it just an appearance in a song in ‘Dev D’ (‘Emotional Atyachar’), or something like ‘Raman Raghav’, he offers me roles which are completely unexpected,” Nawazuddin added.

Even though his collaborations with the “Ugly” helmer have always proved to be a success, Nawazuddin says there is never a pressure on the duo.

“We cannot work if there is pressure. We both have a process. He (Anurag) works very honestly towards his craft and there is no compromise from my side. We can’t work thinking about the final result because that is wrong. We never feel under any pressure.”

“Raman Raghav 2.0”, which also stars Vicky Kaushal will be showcased at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight section. The festival will open on May 11.

“Raman Raghav 2.0” will be Nawazuddin’s eighth movie at the prestigious festival after films like “The Lunchbox”, “Gangs of Wasseypur”, “Miss Lovely” among others, and the “Badlapur” actor says he is very excited.

“I have gone to Cannes twice and eight of my films have gone there. Still, I feel the same excitement as I felt when I went there for the first time. The feeling is amazing.”

“Raman Raghav 2.0” is scheduled to release in the country on June 24.

Born in New Delhi with no connection to glitz and glamour, “Raanjhanaa” fame actress Swara Bhaskar, who holds a masters degree in sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, says for outsiders, Bollywood is a big risk.

The 28-year-old made her debut in filmdom in 2010 with “Madholal Keep Walking”. Known for playing supporting yet strong roles in films like “Tanu Weds Manu” and “Tanu Weds Manu Returns”, she is currently being lauded for her role as Chanda in the film “Nil Battey Sannatta”. She made many emotional with her act as a domestic help who works hard to ensure that her daughter receives good education.

Asked if it’s difficult to enter Bollywood for people who aren’t connected to the industry, Swara told IANS in an interview: “I don’t want to comment on how difficult it is in comparison to star children. I don’t know that world…The thing with an outsider is when you come to Bollywood, it’s a huge gamble.”

The “Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai” star shared that “it is hard. Really hard because it’s such a big gamble…”

“You are potentially just gambling away the best years of your life on a crazy a** desire that you don’t know if it will be fulfilled or not. There are thousands of people who come to Mumbai with the same dream.”

She added that she should feel “so blessed because I have what I have”.

“There would be more people who are more talented than me. Do not assume that the ones you are seeing on screen are the most talented. They might not be.”

Did she have her share of struggles in the industry?

“Of course, I struggled. I struggled to find work, to find good work… I struggled to find my worth and what I deserve. But I think I was a lot luckier than most people!” said Swara, who worked with superstar Salman Khan in the blockbuster “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”.

The audience connects with her de-glam roles, but the “Listen… Amaya” actress says it was never a conscious choice to portray such characters on screen.

“I think it was not a conscious choice to be de-glam or realistic roles. I have picked the best choices I had and I think it turned out to be a good mix,” she said.

“I am an outsider to this industry. There was nobody to launch me. I had to find my own work and go on the audition route…So I took what I got.”

She feels lucky in terms of her choice of roles.

“They were all very well written parts. Even though they were supporting or small roles, people did not forget the characters. I have also done an equal number of lead parts but for smaller films,” she said.

Diana Penty, who made a sensational debut as Meera, a simple soft spoken girl with traditional values in her debut movie Cocktail, has transformed herself into the bubbly character Happy for Happy Bhaag Jayegi.

“Produced by Aanand Rai and directed by Mudazzar Aziz, HBJ will showcase a whole new Diana – a complete contrast to her character in Cocktail” says a source.

“Happy is fun, talkative, loud and extroverted girl who is not afraid to take risks and live life large. It’s evidently far from who Diana really is – an urban, cool yet sweet and soft spoken Parsi-Catholic girl. What’s great is that despite the polarity, Diana is believed to have given a rather convincing performance and has earned a lot of praise from industry-wallahs who’ve got rushes of the film”.

Actress Neetu Chandra has penned an open letter to director Abhishek Chaubey and actress Alia Bhatt for the way people of Bihar have been portrayed in their upcoming film “Udta Punjab”.

In the letter, Neetu wrote: “It’s disturbing to see the way Biharis have been portrayed in Hindi cinema over the last few years, the recent example being Alia Bhatt’s character from ‘Udta Punjab’ and from whatever one understands from the promo of the film, director Abhishek Chaubey is guilty of strengthening the stereotype of Biharis by creating Bhatt’s character the way it is, in ‘Udta Punjab’.”

Alia plays a Bihari migrant in “Udta Punjab”, which tackles the drug menace in Punjab.

Neetu also stresses on the fact that unfortunately, “almost all the films made by Prakash Jha, who also hails from Bihar, have always stereotyped Biharis showing them corrupt politicians, cops and gangsters and in his movies.

“Bihar was always exaggerated to be the most dangerous place to visit as his films showed only either kidnapping and robbery and murders not realising that he himself along with leading Bollywood actors (part of his films) are maligning the name of Bihar whose history has been the most richest in the world.”

“The first educational university was set up in Rajgir, near Nalanda (Bihar) and several respected religions including Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism roots have developed in Bihar.

“Visionaries and scholars like Rajendra Prasad (first President of Republic of India), Ustad Bismillah Khan (Shehnai maestro)… among several hundreds of stalwarts of the world belong to Bihar. So why none of the makers from Bihar and outside Bihar have ever made stories and films on these stories? Because they think that they will keep making fun of Bihars in their films and TV programmes and no one will say anything against them,” Neetu added.

She has urged people to stop “stereotyping Bihar because you have seen Bihar through your ears not through your eyes”.

Actor Hrithik Roshan’s spokesperson has said that “vital facts” about his leaked “intimate” photograph with actress Kangana Ranaut, with whom he is locked in a bitter legal battle, have been “conveniently suppressed”.

The legal battle between the two stars took another turn when an image showing Hrithik embracing her “Krrish 3” co-star surfaced online earlier this week. Hrithik’s legal team had also slammed the leak of the photograph, saying it did not tell the full story.

Now, Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee issued a statement on Wednesday evening, which read: “First and foremost I need to know who is representing Hrithik Roshan as an advocate on record, as the advocate seems to have been changed. The new advocate should come forward and give a proper statement in his name, so that we do not see legal statements being issued on public domain by anonymous persons”.

“Besides what do they mean by stating that the image is photoshopped or doctored? Do they mean that it is not Kangana in the image or is it not Hrithik or is it their claim that the expressions or the body language of either Kangana and Hrithik have been altered. They need to be specific because the photograph was meant to prove a point that Hrithik had blatantly lied, not knowing my client Kangana socially at all. That point has been sufficiently proved in all respects and therefore we need to move on and stop arguing uselessly.

“In any event we would like everyone to know that some common people have started intervening in the matter and want the matter to be resolved amicably. Therefore, to end the matter on a positive note we shall not be giving any further statement to the media on the said matter, as the same has also been assured from their side,” the statement concluded.

Reacting to Kangana’s lawyer’s statement, Hrithik’s spokesperson said on Wednesday night: “A group photograph was made to look as if it was an intimate moment between two people. Vital facts about that photograph were conveniently suppressed. We have been maintaining that this struggle is between truth and lies and nothing else”.

“Peace is always the end objective, so let the media trial end on this note and let’s have the investigation begin in proper sense. We would get whole lot of answers when the imposter in this episode is caught,” the spokesperson added.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hrithik’s estranged wife Sussanne Khan came forward to support him, condemning the leak of his “intimate” photograph with Kangana. She said that the image is “photoshopped”.

Issues between the two actors surfaced when Kangana hinted at Hrithik being her “ex”, saying in an interview that she fails to understand “why exes do silly things to get your attention”.
