August 15, India completes 64 years of freedom. In this visual chronology of post-Independence India, we choose the moments that stood out in each year of the nation’s triumphant, troubled history.
NEW YORK (AP) — Lauren Bacall had one of those incredible lives.
Addressing the Congress MPs, Sonia said the newly formed BJP-led government at the centre has ‘nothing new to offer the country’.
Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra shares comrade bond off-screen, where they are often spotted praising each other. But director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is producing cold-vibes between these friends onscreen, by making them fight for Ranveer Singh‘s love in the periodic film ‘Bajirao Mastani‘.
As per the sources, Deepika and Priyanka will be seen playing the character role of Bajirao’s lovers Mastani and Kashibai, respectively. They both will indulge in lot of confrontation sequences and a dancing drama. Even though the film is named after Mastani (Deepika), the other woman in Bajirao’s life Kashibai (Priyanka) will be given equal importance in Bhansali’s script.
Eight years ago, when Bhansali decided to make the film on this periodic drama, he had planned the script visualizing Kareena Kapoor as Mastani and Rani Mukherjee as Kashibai. But ‘Bajirao Mastani‘ took time to take off and with time his leading ladies also got changed.
Even before its far release at the end of the year, ‘P.K.‘ is daily in the headlines. The controversial poster of Aamir Khan posing nude on the railway track is the talk of the town these days. Where some are fascinated, some consider it as a taboo to the Indian society. Whatsoever people think, we have insight news of this poster being shot at the real location in Rajasthan and not in the studio. It’s a real picture and not a chroma background.
‘P.K.‘ team was scouting across when they found a non-functional railway track in Rajasthan, which was just few hours away from the city. They instantly finalized the location and got in the process of seeking the permission for the shoot. When everything got finalized, director Rajkumar Hirani reduced the crew team to the handful of people who had to go through the security measures. They were made to deposit their mobile phones and laptop at the hotel and travel to the sets distanced at 2 hours away. And then this controversial poster was shot.
Well, all the efforts that the ‘P.K.‘ team took while shooting the poster has paid off in the form of publicity.
