"Can you create a Salman Khan or a Tiger Shroff on digital platforms?": Exhibitors talk to moviegoers about post lockdown scenario and a lot more!

Since the beginning of the Coronavirus-induced lockdown, there have been multiple webinars and talks between producers and exhibitors on how to take forward the operations in the post-lockdown world. However, none of these tried to find out what the viewers have in their minds and what they desire once the theatres open. Do they have any suggestions or fear? On Saturday June 6, a unique webinar took place where prominent exhibitor Akshaye Rathi got fellow exhibitors on board and also around 30-40 moviegoers. The latter got a chance to give their suggestions and clear their doubts from the exhibitors themselves over a two-hour video meeting. By now, the moviegoers are fully aware that once theatres are allowed to resume operations, they will be taking sanitation very seriously. Temperature checks of all moviegoers and staffers, placement of hand sanitizers at regular intervals inside the premises, enforcement of social distancing etc would be adhered to. Hence, very few questions wer...

Farhan Akhtar responds to Abhay Deol’s claim of being called supporting actor in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Ever since the nepotism controversy erupted again, another issue that was majorly discussed is the lobbying that leads to grabbing awards. Actor Abhay Deol pointed it out that during Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , he and Farhan Akhtar were demoted to supporting cast during the award ceremonies whereas Hrithik Roshan was addressed as the lead actor. In an Instagram post, he wrote, “I would like to mention that almost all the award functions demoted me and Farhan from main leads, and nominated us as ‘supporting actors’. Hrithik and Katrina were nominated as ‘actors in a leading role’. So by the industry’s own logic, this was a film about a man and a woman falling in love, with the man supported by his friends for whatever decisions he takes.” “There are many covert and overt ways in which people in the industry lobby against you. In this case, it was shamelessly overt. I of course boycotted the awards but Farhan was ok with it,” he added. Farhan Akhtar reacted to the post by stating that...
