Sajid Nadiadwala inks a 5 film deal with Amazon Prime - From Heropanti 2, Bachchan Pandey to Kick 2 for more than Rs. 250 crores

"In the lockdown, Sajid Nadiadwala was in conversation with several OTT giants to ink a multi-film deal for his slate of releases and he found his partner in Amazon Prime Video. He has inked a mega deal upside of Rs. 250 crores for five of his upcoming films - Bachchan Pandey, Heropanti 2, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, Satyanarayan Ki Katha and Kick 2," a source told Bollywood Hungama.

The source further told us, "Sajid is very keen to make Kick 2 with Salman and has been working on the script for a while now. He is sure that the film will be made and hence, included it in the contract. Of the entire slate, he has fetched the maximum amount for Kick 2."

Bigg Boss 15: Akasa Singh gets evicted from the house

Bigg Boss 15: Akasa Singh gets evicted from the house

While Akasa promised to add entertainment to the season, she was hardly visible in the game and it was only her closeness with Pratik Sehajpal that got her some limelight. However, fans were quick to claim that Akasa tried to replicate Neha Bhasin’s game from Bigg Boss OTT by bonding with Pratik.

The ‘Naagin’ singer also gained some footage in the house when she tried to hook up Donal Bisht and Vidhi Pandya in the initial days. Akasa was recently also seen trying to get Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash together.

With Akasa’s eviction, Pratik Sehajpal, Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, Jay Bhanushali, Vishal Kotian, Simba Nagpal, IeshaanSehajpal, Miesha Iyer, Umar Riaz, Nishant Bhat, Rajiv Adatia and Afsana Khan are now in the race to lift Bigg Boss 15 trophy.

Advance booking for Sooryavanshi and Eternals yet to open in multiplex chains due to revenue sharing and show-sharing issues

The much awaited film, Sooryavanshi, is all set to release in four days, on November 5. The excitement is sky-high but surprisingly, the advance booking hasn’t opened yet in many cinemas and especially in the national multiplex chains like Inox, PVR and Cinepolis. This is because the cinemas and the producers of the film are in negotiations over two aspects.

Advance booking for Sooryavanshi and Eternals yet to open in multiplex chains due to revenue sharing and show-sharing issues

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Before the pandemic, the revenue sharing model was fixed since 2009 and the film industry was following it to the T. But post pandemic, the producers have been asking for a larger share. Sooryavanshi’s producers have asked for 60% revenue in Week 1, 55% in Week 2 and 50% in Week 3 and 4, from single screens, standalone multiplexes and non-national multiplexes. As for the national chains, the negotiations are going on and it’s expected to not be as high as 60% in the first week. Both parties are expected to reach an agreement by today (Monday) evening or latest by Tuesday afternoon.”

The source added, “The single screens and standalone multiplexes have requested that they want the same terms of revenue sharing as the national multiplexes. A solution will be reached on this front soon. Those theatres which have 2k format can at least make it clear that in the absence of reasonable revenue sharing for Sooryavanshi, they’ll go ahead and give all their shows to Disney’s Eternals, which is also releasing on November 5. However, the non-2k theatres won’t have this choice as Hollywood films are not allowed to be released in such cinemas. Hence, they have no choice but to screen Sooryavanshi and are hoping that a solution is reached soon.”

The source continued, “Disney has asked for 50% revenue sharing in Week 1, 48% in Week 2, 45% in Week 3 and 40% in Week 4 in the case of Eternals. And as is the norm now, the cinema halls would also be expected to shell out 30% of the 3D premium with the studio.”

The other aspect where there’s no clear consensus is over screen sharing. The source revealed, “We have heard that Reliance has said that they want maximum shows of Sooryavanshi in multiplexes and nearly 100% of shows in theatres with 3 or less than 3 screens. This means that smaller theatres are not being allowed to show Eternals. Disney, on the other hand, has demanded at least some showcasing for their film in these theatres. It is going all out in making it clear to the exhibitors that Eternals is a big film and deserves to be played.”

The source remarked, “It is for the first time probably that we are seeing Disney go all out in ensuring that its film gets a good number of shows in cinemas. The success of the previous Marvel film, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, must have motivated them to do so. Also, they see immense potential in the Indian market and feel Eternals can be a good way to accelerate their road to the expansion of business in the country.” The trade source added, “Disney and Fox have an enviable slate in 2022. Hence, the exhibitors are wary of getting into their bad books.”

In the midst, the exhibitors are suffering. An exhibitor sighed, “Instead of these studios sitting across the table and solving the issue, they prefer to arm-twist us. We don’t want to hurt either Reliance or Disney and want to provide a reasonable number of shows to Sooryavanshi as well as Eternals. We are just waiting and hoping a consensus is met and also that revenue sharing is reasonable.”

The exhibitor also asked, “We never thought this problem would arise in the case of Sooryavanshi and Eternals. I now wonder what will happen in the week when Antim and Satyameva Jayate 2 would clash. And there are many more clashes taking place in the future.”

However, an industry insider assured that all will be well, “It’ll be a Happy Diwali for producers and exhibitors. This is not the first such instance and we are sure all the parties concerned would reach an agreement soon. These studios understand the plight and require theatres and the theatres also want these films to release so that they earn to their heart’s content, which they haven’t been able to since March 2020. Just give it some time and things will be fine.”

Shatrughan Sinha says his kids Sonakshi Sinha, Luv and Kush don't do drugs - "I can proudly say that their upbringing is so good"

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has said that his three kids Sonakshi Sinha, Luv, and Kush don't do drugs. They don't have such vices and their upbringing is good.

While speaking to NDTV India, Shatrughan said, “Justice hona chahiye aur aaj wohi hua (There should be justice and that is what has happened today),” referring to Aryan Khan receiving bail after three weeks.

When asked whether it is challenging for celebs to guide their children, he said, “Chunauti ho ya na ho, aisa zaroor hona chahiye. Mera shuru se maanna hai, main toh preach aur practice karta hoon, anti-tobacco campaign karta hoon. Main humesha kehta hoon, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’ (Whether it is challenging or not, they must guide their children. I practice what I preach, I am a part of anti-tobacco campaigns. I always say, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’).”

“Aaj main iss maamle mein bhagyashaali samajhta hoon ki mere bachche hai, Luv-Kush aur meri beti Sonakshi, main inn bachchon ke baare mein bohot fakhr se keh sakta hoon ki inki upbringing itni achchi hui hai ki inko kisi kism ki aisi koi habit ya aise maamle mein na unko kabhi suna hai, na dekha hai, na paaya hai na woh karte hai aisi koi harkat (I consider myself lucky that my children - Luv, Kush and Sonakshi… I can proudly say that their upbringing is so good that they don’t have any such habit. I have never heard them being associated with or seen them doing such things),” he added.

Aryan Khan received bail on October 28 by Bombay High Court. He was taken into custody on the night of October 2 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) along with a few others after the agency conducted a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. On October 3, Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB in the case. On October 30, Aryan Khan was released from Arthur Road Jail.

Zayn Malik denies harassment charges of allegedly shoving Yolanda Hadid during fight

Singer Zayn Malik has denied to multiple charges of harassment against his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid and her mother Yolanda following a volatile September argument at their Pennsylvania home, according to court documents obtained by People tabloid.

Zayn Malik denies harassment charges of allegedly shoving Yolanda Hadid during fight

The singer was charged with four counts of harassment after an incident on September 29 in which he allegedly "grabbed [Yolanda] and shoved her into a dresser, causing mental anguish and physical pain," the documents say. The former One Direction singer also allegedly hurled a series of insults and "continuous cursing" at Yolanda including telling her to "stay away from [his] f—ing daughter."

In a statement to TMZ, Malik pleaded no contest to claims that he had struck Yolanda, saying, "I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private."

Malik was also charged with harassment against his supermodel ex Gigi Hadid, with the court documents claiming that he told her to "Strap on some f—ing balls and defend your partner against your f—ing mother in my house" in a conversation a source previously told PEOPLE was over the phone while Gigi was away for work. The ‘Pillowtalk’ singer faced an additional charge against John McMahon, whom he attempted to "physically engage in a fight…while continually cursing at him," the documents say. McMahon is a security guard who was on hand September 29, according to TMZ.

Malik has pleaded no contest to the charges, though his plea was entered as a guilty plea, according to the documents. The 28-year-old singer is required to serve 90 days of probation for each of the four counts, resulting in 360 total days of probation. Malik must also complete an anger management class and a domestic violence program, and is barred from having contact with Yolanda or McMahon. His probation will end if he goes six months without any violations. Amid the dispute, a Malik source tells PEOPLE he is focused on Khai.

The incident was first brought to the attention of the public in a statement Malik shared to Twitter on Thursday, in which he said he wanted to create "a place where private family matters aren't thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart," adding that the incident "was and still should be a private matter." Multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Malik was referencing Yolanda in the statement.

Shortly after, a representative for Gigi said in a statement that the star "is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time."

Malik and Gigi, who sources previously confirmed to have broken up, are parents to daughter Khai, 13 months.

On October 3, Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB in the case. The Khan house, Mannat, in Bandra was decked up with lights to welcome Aryan on Friday, October 29.

The INSIDE Story: Salman Khan wanted to release Antim on Diwali; the superstar averted the clash with Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi on Rohit Shetty’s request

The much awaited film Sooryavanshi, starring Akshay Kumar, is all set to release in a week and the excitement everywhere is tremendous. Not just fans, but even the industry members have been tweeting in support as it’s the first big Hindi film to release on the big screen after nearly 18 months. Bollywood Hungama has now found out that a prominent industry person also stepped in to ensure that Sooryavanshi did not face any obstacles at the box office. And that person is none other than superstar Salman Khan.

A source told us, “Salman Khan was looking at a date to release his film Antim – The Final Truth, co-starring Aayush Sharma. One of the dates he was eyeing was November 5, which is also the day Sooryavanshi releases. When Sooryavanshi’s director and co-producer Rohit Shetty learnt about this development, he met Salman Khan and requested him to avoid clashing with his film. He told the superstar that a solo release was important for a big film like Sooryavanshi.”

The source continued, “Salman Khan agreed with Rohit Shetty’s point. He realized that if Antim – The Final Truth will clash with Sooryavanshi, then the screens will get divided and it may harm both the films, particularly Sooryavanshi, as it’s quite a big-budget fare. Hence, Salman gracefully decided not to release Antim – The Final Truth on November 5. He finally decided to bring the Mahesh Manjrekar-directorial on November 26.”

Interestingly, Rohit Shetty and Sooryavanshi’s leading lady Katrina Kaif went to promote their action packed film on ‘Bigg Boss 15’ which is hosted by Salman Khan. The shoot of this episode took place yesterday.

A trade expert shared with Bollywood Hungama, “This shows the love and brotherhood among the people of the Bollywood fraternity. Rohit Shetty has waited for nearly 18-19 months to release his film in cinemas. He didn’t take the OTT route and it's good to see that the industry is giving him full support to ensure that his film gets the best possible showcasing. It’s also heartening to see that no film is releasing on November 12, that is, a week after Sooryavanshi.”

KQ Entertainment to take strong legal action against invasion of ATEEZ’ privacy

South Korean pop group ATEEZ’ agency KQ Entertainment has released an official statement announcing that they are going to take legal measures against those who invade ATEEZ’ privacy.

The agency revealed that a location tracking device was discovered on a vehicle used for ATEEZ’s activities and warns that strong legal action will be taken against the culprit who planted the device. According to Korean tabloid Soompi, the statement made by the company read, “We would like to thank the fans who always cherish and support ATEEZ. Previously, we have made several announcements about fan club etiquette and prohibiting fans from visiting artists during their private scheduled activities and in private spaces, but incidents of invasion of privacy via unlawful means have continued to take place. Moreover, behaviors that cross the line, such as following artists to their private activities and private areas simply for their own benefit despite the staff’s attempts to stop them, have obstructed the company’s business and caused the artists to go through psychological suffering.”

They added, “Recently, the company discovered that someone had attached a location tracking device to the artist’s work vehicle and illegally collected information about their location. We have spoken to the local police station, who are now tracking down the culprit, and there will be no leniency or negotiation regarding the punishment. Moving forward, regarding all behaviors that violate the private lives of our artists, we will enforce legal measures in addition to the existing black list system, and those people will be excluded from all fan participation events and activities without advance notice. We are also receiving tip-offs via email to put an end to the violation of our artists’ private lives, so we ask the fans for their cooperation. We ask you once again for the sake of the safety of ATEEZ and their fans and an orderly and proper fan culture, so we sincerely request your cooperation.”

On the work front, Ateez released their seventh EP, Zero: Fever Part.3 on September 13 with lead single, ‘Deja Vu’. The pre-orders for the extended play surpassed 800,000 copies, more than double that of their last release along with it debuting at number one on Billboard's World Albums Chart and the group reached a new peak on Billboard's World Digital Songs Chart with 'Deja Vu' at number four. It also marked Ateez's first appearance on the Billboard 200, with the EP debuting at number 42. They also topped the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik reportedly break up after singer's alleged argument with her mom Yolanda Hadid

Supermodel Gigi Hadid and former One Direction singer Zayn Malik are going their separate ways. As reported by PEOPLE tabloid, Gigi and Zayn have broken up.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik reportedly break up after singer's alleged argument with her mom Yolanda Hadid

A Hadid family friend said that the couple is not together right now but they are both good parents. They co-parent and Yolanda Hadid is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild. Gigi's representative told in a statement that Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.

Earlier on Thursday, Malik released a statement to TMZ that Gigi's mother Yolanda Hadid was considering filing a police report against Malik for striking her, according to unnamed sources. Malik told the outlet he "adamantly" denied Yolanda's "false allegations" that he struck her.

Before the TMZ report was out, few minutes earlier on October 28, Zayn released a lengthy statement on Twitter. Zayn wrote, "As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren't thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart."

He continued, "In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been "leaked" to the press."

The couple first sparked romance rumours in November 2015 when they stepped out together at an American Music Awards after party. After dodging questions about their romance for several months, Hadid then starred in Malik's PDA-filled music video for his 2016 single ‘Pillow Talk.’

They also highlighted their romance for Vogue in a May 2016 issue, starring in a PDA-packed feature that referred to Malik as Hadid's "real-life boyfriend." After another Vogue cover shoot together, traveling and birthday wishes, the couple broke up after nearly two years together in March 2018 and shared individual statements confirming the news. However, the breakup didn't last as they were spotted making out on the streets of New York City shortly after. Then, reports in August 2019 suggested that Hadid was dating Tyler Cameron from the Bachelorette. After their time apart, Hadid and Malik were spotted walking arm-in-arm in New York City in January 2020. They confirmed the relationship was back on Valentine’s Day.

In April 2020, the couple confirmed Hadid's pregnancy, which they had kept private during pandemic lockdowns. On September 23, 2020, new dad Zayn announced the arrival of their first child together. The singer wrote on Twitter, "Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful."

The supermodel, 26, and the singer, 28, share baby Khai, who's now 13 months old. In September, the couple threw her a birthday bash and several family members honored her with emotional tributes.

She adds, “These are big moments for our film fraternity as we have not been able to do such gatherings due to the pandemic. We can’t wait to celebrate again and for our industry to bring in the smiles and the cheers that movies are known to deliver in abundance for people.”

Aryan Khan to walk out of jail today only if the release order reaches Arthur Road Jail before 5.30 pm

It was a reason to rejoice for Shah Rukh Khan's family, his near and dear ones, and all his fans as the superstar's son Aryan Khan was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on Thursday evening. Along with Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were also granted bail. The three are currently lodged in the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai. They cannot be released before the judge sends out the bail order document which states detailed reasoning for bail and the bail conditions. The bail order needs to be sent to a lower court who will issue a release order which should reach the prison's bail box by 5.30 pm today. If the document reaches post 5.30, all three will have to spend another night in prison and will be released only tomorrow morning.

Aryan Khan to walk out of jail today only if the release order reaches Arthur Road Jail before 5.30 pm
Aryan, Arbaaz, and Munmun have already spent 25 days in custody after they were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) post a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. Before releasing the trio, there are certain formalities to be completed which include submitting a copy of the bail order from the Bombay High Court to the special anti-narcotics court.

The special court will issue a release order that also contains any bail amount to be paid by Aryan Khan and the others. The release order then has to reach the bail box outside Arthur Road Jail. The box is opened thrice a day and has to be in by 5.30 pm today if the trio is to walk free.

Aryan Khan is being represented by Advocate Satish Maneshinde and his team. He was represented by former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi during the Bombay High Court hearing. The legal team is ready to complete the formalities once the HC judge sends the bail order. Justice Sambre on Thursday said that the detailed order will be shared on Friday.

Aryan Khan expected to walk out of Arthur Road jail today in evening

Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was granted bail by the Bombay High Court yesterday in the 'Drug on Cruise' case. Aryan was arrested with Salim Merchant and five others on October 2nd. While Aryan Khan was not found in possession of drugs, he was constantly denied bail on the grounds of alleged incriminating evidence found on his WhatsApp chats.

Aryan Khan was locked at Arthur Road jail in Mumbai for almost 25 days.  Now, as the honourable Bombay high court has passed his plea of bail, he'll be soon released by the NCB and the police. However, the court is yet to give a detailed order on Friday, following which Aryan Khan will be released.

Advocate Satish Maneshinde, who represented Aryan Khan in the case told a news portal that they're expecting to receive orders of the Bombay High Court from the HC registry today evening. As soon as they get the orders, they'll produce them in Special NDPS court for completing other formalities and get release orders for Aryan Khan.  Satish also ensured that we expect Aryan to be out of jail in the evening today itself.
