Amid the criticism, producer Neeraj Pandey issued a statement on his official Instagram account, acknowledging that the title had hurt some viewers.

<p>Actor Imran Khan has been asked to leave India by October 28. The nephew of superstar Aamir Khan, who was preparing for his acting comeback, recently participated in a CJP protest on October 10 against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. This is not the first time he has stepped out to take part in a protest. Amid all this, it has come to light that Khan is not an Indian citizen, and that's the reason why he has been asked to leave the country.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/he-was-very-secure-as-an-actor-salman-khan-praises-ranveer-singh-s-performance-in-dhurandhar-1792057048344">‘He was very secure..'

Actor Imran Khan has been asked to leave India by October 28. The nephew of superstar Aamir Khan, who was preparing for his acting comeback, recently participated in a CJP protest on October 10 against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. This is not the first time he has stepped out to take part in a protest. Amid all this, it has come to light that Khan is not an Indian citizen, and that's the reason why he has been asked to leave the country. Also read: ‘He was very secure..'

But this does not make him an Indian citizen, and that's what takes away his right to be part of a protest that only an Indian citizen can do. Born in the US when his father and mother were students, he has US citizenship.

Days after he joined a protest against Gyanesh Kumar, Bollywood actor Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan, has been asked to leave India by the Mumbai Police. Imran had also been detained for an hour during the protest, which was organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Mumbai. The Mumbai Police, in its notice, gave Khan an October 28 deadline to leave the country. Why has Imran Khan been asked to leave India? The Mumbai Police issued a notice to Imran Khan under the relevant section of the Immigration Act for participating in a protest in India, despite not being an Indian citizen. Khan is believed to hold US citizenship and possess an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card rather than full Indian citizenship. The police acted on a complaint raised by BJP leader and former MP Kirit Somaiya, who questioned whether the actor was permitted to participate in a political agitation as a foreign national. Somaiya sought action against Khan, alleging that his participation in the demonstration could violate provisions governing OCI cardholders and the conditions applicable to their stay in India. He also urged the authorities to consider deportation. The actor was among those gathered at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan on October 10 to protest against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He was joined by his partner, actor Lekha Washington, and cousin Zayne Marie Khan.

I mean, all the things that have happened in my life."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"But a biopic of my life will never be made, my life will go to my grave."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Khan has been one of the most famous stars of the industry, but with stardom, come the controversies that have followed him, whether it's his high-profile fights or his famous love affairs.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Khan and Karan Johar had a long chat about the actor's iconic shirtless look that he time and again brings back to the screen and is still acing at the age of 61. To this, Salman said that he has put in a lot of hard work to maintain it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“A lot of hard work. A lot of sacrifices. I just added a lot of good things to my life and reduced every bad thing. See for the people who have been die-hard fans of shirtless me, okay, there was a phase in my life because of a lot of injuries and stuff like that. It was unfair on them. No matter how old you are, it is unfair on them to see me like that. My head was broken, some hernia stuff. My shoulder was messed up. And all this came from Sultan. Knee and back, and then trigeminal neuralgia, then the aneurysm. That is not any justification for how I was looking. I should not have let go for that time,” he shared.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Koffee With Karan's final season is streaming on Jio Hotstar.&nbsp;</p>

Close on the heels of the success of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest, producer Ektaa Kapoor has opened up about how the film industry has a Hinduphobia and is too western in its thinking. 

Ektaa Kapoor is a force to reckon with. The producer has not only created cult TV shows but also backed some major blockbuster films. Kapoor’s style of dressing and her spiritual side have often been scrutinised. Now, in a recent podcast, Kapoor has opened up about the criticism she has faced and said that people in the entertainment industry are okay with Western traditions but not so much with Hindu customs. Kapoor spoke to Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast and called out the deep-rooted 'Hinduphobia' in the film industry and how biases come to the forefront as soon as Indian folklore, culture, or faith is in the spotlight. Kapoor recently produced The Vvaan - Force of the Forrest , featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, which was declared a hit at the box office. Ekta Kapoor said, "Numbers are great for the film. What is really important is it deals with folklore. I'm just gonna say it on camera: Hinduphobia, and we have so much of phobia with what do we call... We're okay with animated animation, but we're not okay with discussing folklore and mythology." She added, "So I'm so okay with bringing it all out and having people accept it. There's so much more acceptance now." ‘Wearing your religion on your sleeve is such a problem’ Ektaa Kapoor also addressed the criticism that she has been facing for years for her look. She has been called a freak and mocked for wearing a ceremonial tikka (vermilion) when she was much younger. She discussed openly how difficult it seems to display her religious identity. "I can't even tell you. Wearing a tika and wearing your religion on your sleeve is such a problem," she recalled. She remembered how she was once judged for going to a club straight from a mandir.

<p>Hera Pheri is one of the most loved franchises in Indian cinema. While the first two parts were highly loved and continue to be cherished by fans, the fate of the third film continues to hang in limbo as the fight over copyright has reached the courts, and no one knows how long it will be extended.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While fans still have hopes, its director Priyadarshan has completely ruled out the possibility of a third part. Not only the third part, but the director has also reacted to bringing Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty back together. Another film that Priyadarshan will not be part of is Bhagam Bhaag 2.</p><h3>Priyadarshan gives update on Hera Pheri 3 and Bhagam Bhag 2</h3><p>In June, Priyadarshan announced that he's no longer part of Hera Pheri 3. Now, he has given an update on the second part of Bhagam Bhag, saying that he doen't like to touch a previous iconic project. Until and unless, he has something better to tell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/narnia-the-magician-s-nephew-trailer-out-meryl-streep-daniel-craig-lead-greta-gerwig-s-fantasy-adventure-1791963918712">Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer- Meryl, Daniel Craig in Gerwig’s film</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“That is why I never do sequels because the reason that you are doing part 2, it should be better than the part one, like with the Terminator franchise where part 2 was a better film than part 1. Unless you have a much better story, you shouldn’t do it. People always make a sequel when the first one really works, so if you don’t better it, there is no value for the franchise,” the director told HT.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Released in 2006, Bhagam Bhag is one of the masterpieces that director Priyadarshan has created. Starring Akshay, Govinda, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Lara Dutta, and Jackie Shroff among others, the comedy-caper takes the audience on a hilarious ride.</p>

<p>Speaking on the second part of Bhagam Bhag, the filmmaker adds, “What happens with sequels is that they are selling the value of the first film. They are not making a film, they are making a project, and I am not interested in projects. Even with Bhagam Bhaag, Akshay asked me ‘are you interested in directing?’ I said no. The question is that when you make a film and people appreciate it, why do you want to go and spoil that appreciation by doing a part 2. That's why I refuse directing sequels. Let other people make sequels of my films, I am fine with that.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read</strong>: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/near-miss-for-emraan-hashmi-suv-flips-mid-air-on-gunmaaster-g9-climax-sets-1791962075136">Near-miss for Emraan Hashmi: SUV flips mid-air on Gunmaaster G9 climax sets</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Haiwaan director is not part of Hera Pheri 3.

This year, Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar delivered the hit Bhoot Bangla, which did decent business at the box office. However, their next film, Haiwaan, was a dud at the box office. Amid all, the audience still wants an update on Hera Pheri 3. 

Hera Pheri is one of the most loved franchises in Indian cinema. While the first two parts were highly loved and continue to be cherished by fans, the fate of the third film continues to hang in limbo as the fight over copyright has reached the courts, and no one knows how long it will be extended. While fans still have hopes, its director Priyadarshan has completely ruled out the possibility of a third part. Not only the third part, but the director has also reacted to bringing Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty back together. Another film that Priyadarshan will not be part of is Bhagam Bhaag 2. Priyadarshan gives update on Hera Pheri 3 and Bhagam Bhag 2 In June, Priyadarshan announced that he's no longer part of Hera Pheri 3. Now, he has given an update on the second part of Bhagam Bhag, saying that he doen't like to touch a previous iconic project. Until and unless, he has something better to tell.

Unless you have a much better story, you shouldn’t do it. People always make a sequel when the first one really works, so if you don’t better it, there is no value for the franchise,” the director told HT. Released in 2006, Bhagam Bhag is one of the masterpieces that director Priyadarshan has created. Starring Akshay, Govinda, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Lara Dutta, and Jackie Shroff among others, the comedy-caper takes the audience on a hilarious ride.
