The Mumbai Film Festival is facing a funds crunch for its forthcoming 16th edition this year and megastar Amitabh Bachchan is urging people to aid it.
Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Hansal Mehta and Anupama Chopra have supported the fest organised annually by the Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI).
“The film festival of Mumbai MAMI needs support. It is a flourishing festival that encourages the best in the cinema world. Please!” Amitabh tweeted.
Actor Varun Dhawan, who followed up the success of his debut film "Student Of The Year" (SOTY) with comic entertainer "Main Tera Hero" and will now be seen in a romantic film "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania", says he feels he's not ready to do an intense film like "Ek Villain".
Within a day of its launch, the trailer of "Finding Fanny", an English language film by Indian director Homi Adajania, has found over a million views on YouTube. The movie's makers are "very happy" with the response.
Actors beef up, tone up, tonsure and do more for their on-screen characters off and on. Now, it's for actress Swara Bhaskar to gain weight for her role as a mother in "Nil Battey Sannaata". She says it's a "guilt-free binging opportunity".
Actor Ali Fazal is being praised by critics and viewers for his performance in "Bobby Jasoos", but he's a tad disappointed as his parents haven't been able to watch the recently released movie due to Ramadan.
Adman-writer Prasoon Joshi Thursday hailed the budget presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for this fiscal saying it has "realistically touched upon many important sectors and segments".
