‘Kantara’ might now be finally streaming on OTT but fans are disappointed with the makers. The highest-grossing film of the year in India, ‘Kantara’, misses out on something very important as it makes its way to a streamer.&nbsp;

Acquired by Amazon Prime Video, it was possibly one of the most-awaited films but ever since fans watched the film and found out that the song ‘Varaha Roopam’ is missing from the climax, they raised their objection.&nbsp;

On OTT, ‘Varaha Roopam’ has been replaced with another song.&nbsp;

Calling the impact of the film “diluted”, many have taken to social media platforms to voice their disappointment.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, this change has happened as music band Thaikkudam Bridge complained against the use of the song as they claim that the orchestral arrangement of the song ‘Varaha Roopam’ in the Kannada film has been plagiarised from the song ‘Navarasam’. Thus, violating the copyright rules. Although the ‘Kantara’ director has denied these claims, he has mentioned that the song only draws inspiration from ‘Navarasam’.&nbsp;

Ruling on the matter, Kozhikode principal district sessions court ordered that the song ‘Varaha roopam…’ in the movie ‘Kantara’ could not be used without obtaining the consent of the complainant. The court banned the director of Kantara, producer, music director, and online platforms from using the song.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Leonardo DiCaprio while auditioning for ‘Titanic’, who would agree that the James Cameron film changed everything for him. Cameron, in an interview with GQ magazine revealed that at first Leonardo was apprehensive about reading the part opposite Kate Winslet.

Cameron also said Winslet was not his first choice to play the heroine, as he thought she was 'typecast'. He was considering someone like Gwyneth Paltrow for Rose. "I actually didn't see Kate at first," he said.

Cameron narrated that after DiCaprio refused to read the part, the director told the actor, “You’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.”

“There was a meeting with Leo and then there was a screen test with Leo. The meeting was funny because I am sitting in my conference room, waiting to meet an actor. And I look around, and all the women in the entire office are in the meeting. They all wanted to meet Leo. It was hysterical,” James said.

By the time Leo came, Kate was locked for the part as Rose. James said, “He came back a couple of days later, and I had the camera set up to record the video. He didn’t know he was going to test. He thought it was another meeting to meet Kate. So I said, ‘Okay, we’ll just go in the next room, and we’ll run some lines and I’ll video it.’ And he said, ‘You mean, I’m reading?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Oh, I don’t read.’ I shook his hand and said, ‘Thanks for coming by.'”

Leonardo then said, “Wait, wait, wait. If I don’t read, I don’t get the part? Just like that?” Cameron responded, “Oh, yeah. Come on. This is a giant movie that is going to take two years of my life, and you’ll be gone doing five other things while I’m doing post-production. So, I’m not going to fuck it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So, you’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.'”

“So he comes in, and he’s like every ounce of his entire being is just so negative — right up until I said, ‘Action.’ Then he turned into Jack,” Cameron concluded. “Kate just lit up, and they played the scene. Dark clouds had opened up, and a ray of sun came down and lit up Jack. I’m like, ‘All right. He’s the guy.'”

Ever thought what it would be like to see Santa Claus show his powers off? As it so happens, Christmas is coming early this year with Universal Pictures’ ‘Violent Night’.

The film is all set to bring a never-seen-before version of Santa Claus to the theatres near you. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, it features popular actors David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Cam Gigandet, Alex Hassell, Alexis Louder, Edi Patterson, and Beverly D’Angelo.

Produced by Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, and Guy Danella, ‘Violent Night’ revolves around a team of mercenaries that break into a wealthy family’s compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage. However, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus played by David Harbour of the ‘Black Widow’ and ‘Stranger Things’ fame.&nbsp;

David Harbour on playing Santa in the film said, “One of the things that I like so much about these worlds he (Leitch) creates—from Atomic Blonde to John Wick, to Nobody—is that he takes a somewhat ordinary person, at least on the surface, and allows them to become these crazy action heroes. This genre that he has mastered feels fresh and that’s what really excited me about this project.”&nbsp; 
“The suit I wear in this film isn’t a traditional Santa suit. We found a balance between what we see as the traditional big red jolly suit and also the leather harness, boots and other elements of his long-distant past woven throughout.”

Produced by Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, and Guy Danella, 'Violent Night' will release on December 2.

Looks like Chris Brown has earned some sympathy from his colleague Kelly Rowland. At the recently concluded American Music Awards, Kelly accepted the favourite male R&amp;B artist award on Chris Brown’s behalf in front of a booing crowd. She urged people to give the singer a chance and act with grace.&nbsp;

On the stage, Kelly said, “Excuse me, chill out. But I want to tell Chris, thank you so much for making great music, and I want to tell him thank you for being an incredible performer. I’ll take this award and bring it to you, I love you! Congratulations, and congratulations to all the nominees in this category.” It led to more crowd boos.&nbsp;

Later on, Kelly told a videographer at the event, “I believe that grace is very real, and we all need a dose of it, and before we point fingers at anybody, we should realise how grateful we are for every moment we get. We all need to be forgiven for anything that we could be doing — we all come up short in some sort of way. Grace is real, and we are humans, and everybody deserves grace, period.”&nbsp;

Chris Brown was reportedly set to perform a Michael Jackson tribute that was cancelled at the last minute due to hesitations from show producers. He then posted a rehearsal video with the caption “U SERIOUS?,” and added that they “cancelled me for reasons unknown.”

Chris Brown slipped from everyone’s favour after he had a domestic violence scandal with then girlfriend Rihanna. He turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2009 following a domestic violence incident with Rihanna. Rihanna had to get hospitalised after the incident.

Mandy Moore joins ‘Dr. Death’ season 2

Ace filmmaker Quentin Tarantino agrees with Jennifer Aniston that “there are no more movie stars”. In an interview, Quentin spoke about “Marvel-ization of Hollywood” in which he credited the superhero movies to have diminished the stardom of actors.

He said, “Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters. But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times…but it’s like, you know, it’s these franchise characters that become a star.”

The director explained that now Captain America is the star and not Chris Evans. “I’m not even putting them down frankly, to tell you the truth. But that is one of the — the legacy of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood movies.”

But this doesn’t mean that Quentin Tarantino “hates” Marvel movies but dislikes them for being the only product Hollywood is interested in making these days.

He said, “Look, I used to collect Marvel comics like crazy when I was a kid. There’s an aspect that if these movies were coming out when I was in my twenties, I would totally be fucking happy and totally love them. I mean, they wouldn’t be the only movies being made. They would be those movies amongst other movies. But, you know, I’m almost 60, so yeah. No, I’m not quite as excited about them.”

“My only axe to grind against them is they’re the only things that seem to be made,” he added. “And they’re the only things that seem to generate any kind of excitement amongst a fan base or even for the studio making them. That’s what they’re excited about. And so it’s just the fact that they are the entire representation of this era of movies right now. There’s not really much room for anything else. That’s my problem.”
