<p>From her debut in the movie `Dum Laga Ke Haisha,` actor Bhumi Pednekar has become a promising face in the Bollywood industry giving hit movies back to back. However, the actor feels that she is still the same, vulnerable, ambitious girl and success has not changed her even a bit.</p>

<p>"I am the same girl. Honestly, I have not changed much. Success has not managed to change me! I am still very vulnerable, ambitious, still have stars in my eyes, and have huge dreams. This has been, I think, my biggest push in life because I was young when I decided I wanted to be an actor," said the `Bala` actor.</p>

<p>The 30-year-old actor already has an impressive array of roles under her list, with movies including `Son Chiriya`, `Shubh Mangal Saavdhan`, `Toilet: Ek Prem Katha`, `Pati, Patni Aur Woh`, `Saand Ki Aankh`, and more.</p>

<p>"I want to do the work that I want to do and want to carve a separate space for myself. I don`t want to be a part of the rat race and I had such a clear vision about it," the actor added.</p>

<p>Recalling her days at the Yash Raj Films, Pednekar said: "I am so fortunate that I had the opportunities and it all started with that one job at Yash Raj Films. When I started with them, I was all of 17, I didn`t know what I was doing."</p>

<p>"I was honestly thinking of going abroad back then for studies. I randomly went to that interview because I knew I had to start working otherwise my parents will send me off abroad for further education and my life changed. There was no stopping after that!" she explained.</p>

<p>Lately, Pednekar launched an anti-spitting campaign that aims at educating people, in an attempt to bring the nation together in the fight against COVID-19.She also has been advocating for nature conservation through her breakthrough initiative `Climate Warrior`.</p>

<p>She took steps to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/amitabh-bachchan-akshay-kumar-support-bhumi-pednekars-one-wish-for-the-earth-campaign-302783">bring Bollywood together to spread awareness about mother nature </a>through her campaign.The campaign was taken up by many actors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Anushka Sharma, and others where they explained the `one wish they have for the earth.`</p>

Success has not managed to change me: Bhumi Pednekar

<p>This week on #DownToEarthWithDee, the actors shared stories of activism and inspiration in their journeys towards a common goal.</p>

<p>As Mumbai battled Cyclone Nisarga, the dialogue for climate change and environmental conservation became even more&nbsp;relevant. Joining Dia was another&nbsp;actor Bhumi Pedneker. The two spoke about what drives them, how they use their platform for change, and why environmental activism is not just for the activists. For Dia, these virtual rendezvous sessions, conducted every Wednesday in the run-up to World Environment Day on June 5, 2020, were&nbsp;an attempt to reconnect with nature through conversations with individuals who have made their own unique contributions towards sustainability.</p>

<p>In a heartfelt introduction to her fellow artist and activist, Dia said, “What I love about Bhumi is not only her craft but her humanity and the choices she makes to build environmental awareness. Along with being a wonderful artist, she is a relentless Climate Warrior.”</p>

<p>At the onset, their conversation highlighted the beautiful coincidence of Bhumi’s name (which means earth) and what it has so naturally led her to do. The ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ actress admitted to drawing inspiration from Dia’s consistent efforts for environmental action over the years, referring to when the UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador had begun boycotting plastic bottles years ago.</p>

<p>“I’ve been brought up with a lot of compassion and just general awareness since I was very little,” Bhumi shared, adding that what she missed out on in Mumbai she enjoyed heartily in her grandparents' Jaipur farmhouse.</p>

<p>“My grandmother had hundreds of trees and everything was homegrown. I’ve spent a lot of time up close with nature. I realised how important it is to coexist with nature.”</p>

<p>She pointed out how a lot of environmental practices like composting and garbage segregation aren’t new concepts and in fact find their roots in Indian villages. Despite being a complete city girl, she credits her parents for talking about the changes the world needs to see.</p>

<p>Dia saw hope in the current situation of the global pandemic as it allows people to build back a life that can coexist with nature. “There are more people who understand how important it is to be conscious and aware of the balance of our ecosystems in the natural world. In the aftermath of the coronavirus, we really need to go back to basics and understand how fragile our relationship is with nature,” Dia said.</p>

<p>Dia and Bhumi engaged in an animated conversation about how altering their personal spaces has helped them influence change. “The problem is people think it’s very inconvenient,” but that didn’t stop the actor from training her home staff and professional team to take precautions. She even refuses to do rain scenes in her films in an attempt to save water.</p>

<p>Another step in this direction is Bhumi’s most recent initiative ‘One Wish for the Earth’ that aims at engaging youth across India to be more conscious of the climate and environment. She believes that while she has been doing her small bit for the environment very early on, now she has the power as an actor.</p>

<p>“People care about what I have to say, they listen to me, I have better connections with people that can influence young minds because by the end of it the youth is our future,” Bhumi said, echoing a belief Dia has had for years as she too engages in activities with children and youngsters who she believes are the future of the planet.</p>

<p>Lastly, the two artists addressed the very real threat of ‘eco-anxiety’ — “I don’t want to scare anyone, but the more I realise that the planet might not be inhabitable in the near future, I don’t see myself having a family!”&nbsp;Bhumi said, confessing that she often felt alone as people only saw her as an “activist”, something she believes everyone needs to become. But despite all this, she found that meeting others who care just as much helps her feel at ease.</p>

<p>Dia resonated with this thought, saying, “The moment we become part of the solution and connect with like-minded people, it gives us strength and eases the anxiety. We still feel it, but it helps when we can share it with each other.”</p>

<p>Adrain Grenier, R Madhavan, Zoya Akhtar, Swanand Kirkire, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Gaur Gopal Das, Ankur Tiwari, Zoya Akhtar, etc are a few names featured in this series so far. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Bhumi said she aims to bring more awareness about the issue of climate change.&nbsp;"Climate change, as a concept, is still not considered as a real issue today by a lot of people. There are such varied and grave climatic issues that are happening across the world which people are not even realising like increase of famines, forest fires, droughts, floods, melting ice caps, sea levels increasing, food and crop getting destroyed, heat waves across countries and continents, etc," Bhumi said.</p>

<p>"Climate warrior is an initiative that is very close to my heart.

Vicky Kaushal shares the first poster of his new film 'Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship'

<p>In one scene of ‘Saand Ki Aankh’, soon after winning their first medals at state level shooting competition, 60 something years old Chandro and Prakashi Tomar are asked their age by a reporter. Unable to tell the exact age, the journalist jokes that women are never okay revealing their age to which Chandro corrects him and says, “There is no shame in hiding one’s age. But women are unable to tell exactly how many years have they lived for themselves.” Poignant and impactful-this line sums up the film well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Director Tushar Hiranandani narrates a heartwarming real-life story of two feisty women from an interior village in Uttar Pradesh who take up sharpshooting post 60 - an age when most give up on life. Not only are Chandro and Prakashi good at their game, but even win hundreds of medal even as the menfolk in their household remain oblivious about their new activity for a long time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sisters-in-law Chandro and Prakashi have spent their lifetime in an oppressed, feudal household- where women are identified through the colours of their dupattas, instead of face or personality. They may be working the most in the household, but are still submissive to the men in their lives. It's only when Doctor Yashpal (Vineet Singh) opens a shooting range in the village to churn out state-level champions, do the grandmothers, now in their 60s, take up shooting. They initially start shooting to inspire and encourage their granddaughters but subsequently find their calling and their voice. After years of hiding from the family and winning medals- there comes a point when they have to reveal their secret for the sake of their daughters. Would the family and society at large accept them?&nbsp;</p>

<p>The story, from the heartland of the country, has a lot to relate to. Women in rural as well as urban areas are often subjugated to patriarchal norms and unnecessary rules which not suppress their voice but also curb freedom. So in that sense, the story of ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ is a known one. You know how the story will pan out eventually yet its the treatment and the performance that keeps you glued to the seat. Without being too preachy, writers Jagdeep Siddhu (dialogues) and Balwinder Singh Janjua paint a very real picture where you feel the pain of these women. You understand why the two women feel suffocated in their own house. You heart goes out to the younger girls, who know they are more capable of winning medals than their brothers and yet are not allowed to pursue their dreams. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The film completely focuses on Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu- and they do not disappoint. In a short period, both actresses have carved their niche in the film industry by playing spirited characters. In ‘Saand Ki Ankh’ too they play similar roles, but they adapt the dialect, the mannerisms of rural, uneducated, feisty women well. They fit in the milieu well. I found myself ever so often looking more at Pednekar than Pannu as the former brings in the right amount of restraint to her character Chandro. But the women complement each other well and deliver superlative performances. They share incredible camaraderie on screen and their bond is well reflected on screen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the men, Vineet Kumar as their coach, mentor, and guide deliver a formidable performance. Prakash Jha also impresses as the conservative patriarch who doesn't believe in giving the women in his family a voice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the film is pertinent and enjoyable, it isn't completely devoid of flaws. The characters do not age well. The makeup is shoddy and quite an eyesore. The prosthetic used on two actresses are not well done and it is difficult to believe them as aged characters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the two actresses deliver in their respective parts, one can't help but wonder why the makers could not have cast senior actresses in these roles. They do have different sets of actors playing the husbands-younger and older- so what stopped them from doing the same in Chandro and Prakashi's case? Surely there is no dearth of senior actresses in this country who would perform equally well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film is also a bit long and could have been edited better. The whole ordeal of the four women leaving their homes at the break of dawn every day while the household sleeps appears to be repetitive after a point. And the narrative becomes a bit jumbled near the climax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While there are these glaring flaws, it is the cast and the story that make&nbsp;'Saand Ki Aankh' a compelling watch. It celebrates women and their immense potential to juggle multiple roles with ease. It projects strong women who are willing to fight the odds for a better future and inspire countless others to speak up and find their calling in life.&nbsp;</p>

'Saand Ki Aankh' review: Taapsee Pannu, Bhumi Pednekar take a shot at patriarchy, age and stereotypes

<p>One of the greatest challenges for any filmmaker is to make his story engaging and entertaining. And when the storyline is predictable, the challenges double-up because the audience already knows how the story will be and it is a bigger struggle to keep them glued nevertheless. In Ayushmann Khurrana's latest 'Bala', director Amar Kaushik beautifully narrates a story that may be known yet there's a certain fresh appeal to it.</p>

<p>Based in Kanpur, its the story of Bala(Khurrana), a marketing agent of a beauty company, who is balding at a young age. A popular boy since childhood, he has received an ample amount of attention from the opposite sex all through his childhood. He can mimic popular stars and does stand up on the side. But Bala is also a man who is astutely insecure of his looks thanks to his premature balding.</p>

<p>When several disgusting attempts fail to bring back Bala's lost glory, he resorts to a wig. On a trip to Lucknow, he meets Pari(Yami Gautam), tik-tok superstar and the face of his company. Love happens almost instantly as they are a match made in filmy heaven. A day after the wedding, as Bala's childhood friend Latika(Bhumi Pednekar) a dusky strong-headed lawyer comes charging at Bala s place, truth is unravelled and Pari decides to walk out of the marriage. Will they get back together- forms rest of the story.</p>

<p><img alt="bala" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58047b38-ce34-46c1-aa9f-e3a56a3cb2f7" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/bala.jpg" /></p>

<p>Laced with the humorous situation and hilarious dialogues written by Niren Bhatt, 'Bala' scores majorly despite a predictable storyline. You know how the story would end up but that's where the film scores. It not only cleverly tackles societal prejudices without being too preachy but also ensures that the laughs are in plenty. Premature balding, discrimination based on one's skin colour, and appearance and even the shallow arrogance of those who are blessed with 'perfect' looks- 'Bala' tackles all of them effectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Performances in the film are top-notch. From leading man Ayushmann Khurrana- who yet again manages to hit the ball out of the park with a stupendous performance to the leading ladies Bhumi Pednekar as the firebrand lawyer Latika and Yami Gautam as the shallow Pari who only has her looks to be proud of- every actor seamlessly fits in their part.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Khurrana, who is clearly on a winning streak with all his films hitting the bull's eye, is the perfect small-town boy who has more arrogance than talent. A lover of 90's film, he is a charmer as Bala but also someone who is hollow and cannot think deeper than appearances.

<p>Pednekar gets a feisty character to play on screen and does complete justice to it. The only hitch is her makeup- she is made at least four shades darker in the film to suit her character and the makeup artist has done a shoddy job of it. It is also refreshing to watch Yami Gautam play an over-dramatic self-obsessed small-town model. Gautam brings in the right amount of emotions that are required for her character and stands out particularly in a scene where she explains to Bala exasperatedly that how important it is to look good because that's all she has.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the supporting cast, Saurabh Shukla, Abhishek Bannerjee, Javed Jaffery and Dheerendra Kumar Gautam (who plays Bala's younger brother) stand out. Yesteryear's TV star Deepika Amin also makes an appearance after a long time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I enjoyed 'Bala' most for its tribute to Hindi cinema. Yami and Ayushmann's love story is mostly depicted through some hilarious tik-tok videos featuring some old classic of the 1990s. Then there are multiple references of Bachchan and SRK as Bala's clearly a fan of the two superstars. One scene in the second half particularly stands out as Bala and his two friends, while drinking, lament about Bala's luck but in Bachchan's quintessential style. All three actors- Khurrana, Jaffery, and Bannerjee- are pitch-perfect in the scene which has got to be the best scene that Bollywood has produced this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are portions in the second half which may sound a tad bit preachy but 'Bala' ultimately triumphs because of the performances, screenplay and the overall message that as a society we need to loosen up and accept people as what they are. There are no set standards of beauty and its high time that we force everyone to look a certain type.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Go watch 'Bala', laugh along with the characters, learn and unlearn a few things.&nbsp;</p>


One of the greatest challenges for any filmmaker is to make his story engaging and entertaining. And when the storyline is predictable, the challenges double-up because the audience already knows how the story will be and it is a bigger struggle to keep them glued nevertheless.

One of the greatest challenges for any filmmaker is to make his story engaging and entertaining. And when the storyline is predictable, the challenges double-up because the audience already knows how the story will be and it is a bigger struggle to keep them glued nevertheless. In Ayushmann Khurrana's latest 'Bala', director Amar Kaushik beautifully narrates a story that may be known yet there's a certain fresh appeal to it. Based in Kanpur, its the story of Bala(Khurrana), a marketing agent of a beauty company, who is balding at a young age. A popular boy since childhood, he has received an ample amount of attention from the opposite sex all through his childhood. He can mimic popular stars and does stand up on the side. But Bala is also a man who is astutely insecure of his looks thanks to his premature balding. When several disgusting attempts fail to bring back Bala's lost glory, he resorts to a wig. On a trip to Lucknow, he meets Pari(Yami Gautam), tik-tok superstar and the face of his company. Love happens almost instantly as they are a match made in filmy heaven. A day after the wedding, as Bala's childhood friend Latika(Bhumi Pednekar) a dusky strong-headed lawyer comes charging at Bala s place, truth is unravelled and Pari decides to walk out of the marriage. Will they get back together- forms rest of the story. Laced with the humorous situation and hilarious dialogues written by Niren Bhatt, 'Bala' scores majorly despite a predictable storyline. You know how the story would end up but that's where the film scores. It not only cleverly tackles societal prejudices without being too preachy but also ensures that the laughs are in plenty. Premature balding, discrimination based on one's skin colour, and appearance and even the shallow arrogance of those who are blessed with 'perfect' looks- 'Bala' tackles all of them effectively. Performances in the film are top-notch. From leading man Ayushmann Khurrana- who yet again manages to hit the ball out of the park with a stupendous performance to the leading ladies Bhumi Pednekar as the firebrand lawyer Latika and Yami Gautam as the shallow Pari who only has her looks to be proud of- every actor seamlessly fits in their part. Khurrana, who is clearly on a winning streak with all his films hitting the bull's eye, is the perfect small-town boy who has more arrogance than talent. A lover of 90's film, he is a charmer as Bala but also someone who is hollow and cannot think deeper than appearances. His transformation from a superfluous young man to someone who finally understands to value human beings more than looks is shown beautifully and Khurrana never slips from the character making Bala almost an extension of himself. Smart, cocky and yet extremely flawed.

'Bala' review: Ayushmann Khurrana's film tackles societal prejudices head-on

<p>It is almost 2020, and Bollywood still finds joy in making films on adultery. A middle-class married man wanting to look out of his marriage out of sheer boredom in his life and befriending a young damsel (not in distress) just for fun and then hiding the relationship from his wife is a story bit too dated. And while we shrug and say ‘Men will be men’, director Mudassar Aziz lets the women take control of the situation and teach a lesson or two to the philandering man in his new film ‘Pati, Patni Aur Woh’.</p>

<p>A remake of a rather controversial, sexist 1973 film by the same name, the 2019 version tries to adapt an age-old story but with contemporary twists to the narrative. The story is set in Kanpur, a small-town city in northern India, which is trying to strike a balance between modernity and traditional values. So you have Chintu, the husband( Kaartik Aaryan) as the complacent middle-class man who is rather jaded with mundanities in his life. He works in the Public Works Department of the city and has a feisty, ambitious wife Vedika (Bhumi Pednekar) who has a mind of her own and wants him to shift to Delhi for a better life, which Chintu relents obviously. Three years into the marriage, things seem to be going great, just that the routine has crept into their relationship as a third wheel and distance – both emotional and in bed- seemed to have increased over a period of time.</p>

<p>Enter Tapasya (Ananya Panday) a sassy designer from Delhi who seeks Chintu’s help to get a plot to set up a manufacturing unit in Kanpur. Chintu cooks up a story of a fictional affair that wife is having to gain sympathy from Tapasya and in turn spend more time with her. Naturally, a web of lies complicates Chintu's life and even though his best friend Fahim (Aparshakti Khurana) helps him cover up his tracks, he still questions his intent and loyalty at every step.</p>

<p>Aziz, who has written the screenplay as well as the dialogues, gives the two women more individuality and lets them take charge even as the men (Chintu, Fahim and Vedika’s ardent admirer Rakesh Yadav) fumble at every step. Bollywood has churned out several films on infidelity but in most, the men have come out clean, unscathed and hero-like. In ‘<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/pati-patni-aur-woh-tu-hi-yaar-mera-tracing-chintu-tyagi-and-vedhikas-love-story-266347">Pati, Patni Aur Woh</a>’, the strongest character is that of Vedika’s who has a mind of her own, is ambitious and even a fan following in the college where she teaches. So when she finds out about her cheating husband, her reaction is far more practical than her screen contemporaries. She is stunned, but never breaks down or loses control- instead, she walks out without really creating much fuss about her crumbling marriage.</p>

<p>The film wins primarily for how it deals with the women characters. Even Tapasya is shown to have a lot of confidence and a strong mind- attributes that Chintu lack. She is not ready to play the home breaker initially and is even okay to talk it out with the wife before taking the plunge with Chintu.</p>

<p>The three leads do a credible job in the film, that propel the viewing experience. Aryan plays the flawed, charming Chintu effortlessly. After Ayushmann Khurrana, Aaryan seems to have adapted the small-town hero template well and gets the dialects, the mannerism of a middle-class married man quite well. Panday, in her second film after ‘Student Of The Year 2’, plays a character far more mature and older than her age quite convincingly. She fits the big city girl with a good heart template well and the young actress exudes confidence as Tapasya.</p>

<p>The film though has Pednekar and Aparshakti Khurana in top form. A credible actress, Pednekar exudes a different level sass as the ambitious, practical, sultry Vedika who knows she is still desired by men- with or without a marriage tag attached to her. Pednekar’s Vedika is smug but loving and practical and a far cry from her character in her debut film ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ but the actress plays this part with absolute ease. Aparshakti Khurrana, who has by now aced playing the Hero’s friend films, gets the best lines in the film and does complete justice to his character as Fahim. Fahim and Chintu’s camaraderie provide the maximum laughs and it is a delight to watch Khurrana play the cocky loyal Fahim with such conviction.</p>

<p>Not just the characters but even the narrative is very topical where Aziz slips in jokes on minority and marginalisation, Indian’s obsession with winter weddings and even caste elitism. The lines are clever and witty and lift an otherwise ordinary narrative.</p>

<p>The film tends to get preachy in the second half though when the characters indulge in conversation of morals, the importance of love in marriage and loyalty. Those portions seem a bit stretched and puncture an otherwise breezy narrative.</p>

<p>‘Pati, Patni Aur Woh’ may be predictable but it still works for its lines, the actors and its contemporary take on marriage. It may not leave a lasting impression on you, but while you are watching it, you will find yourself rooting for the wife.</p>

'Pati, Patni Aur Woh' review: Predictable story but with a contemporary twist

With the big blaze in the Australian state of Victoria destroying the flora and fauna of the area inch-by-inch, several Bollywood actresses including Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza and Alia Bhatt are taking to social media platforms to create awareness and share their concern over the major environmental degradation.

With the big blaze in the Australian state of Victoria destroying the flora and fauna of the area inch-by-inch, several Bollywood actresses including Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza and Alia Bhatt are taking to social media platforms to create awareness and share their concern over the major environmental degradation. Bhumi Pednekar, who recently launched her pan India campaign of `Climate Warrior,` reposted a post about the bushfires from climate activist Greta Thunberg and explained how it could be related to the current climate emergency in the world. View this post on Instagram #Repost @gretathunberg with @get_repost ・・・ Australia is on fire. And the summer there has only just begun. 2019 was a year of record heat and record drought. Today the temperature outside Sydney was 48,9°C. 500 million (!!) animals are estimated dead because of the bushfires. Over 20 people have died and thousands of homes have burned to ground. The fires have spewed 2/3 of the nations national annual CO2 emissions, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. The smoke has covered glaciers in distant New Zealand (!) making them warm and melt faster because of the albedo effect. And yet. All of this still has not resulted in any political action. Because we still fail to make the connection between the climate crisis and increased extreme weather events and nature disasters like the #AustraliaFires That has to change. And it has to change now. My thoughts are with the people of Australia and those affected by these devastating fires. A post shared by Bhumi✨ (@bhumipednekar) on Jan 4, 2020 at 9:18pm PST × Actor Dia Mirza, who has always been vocal about social issues, also shared a post about the devastating disaster on her account. The actor shared a picture of a seemingly helpless koala bear held by fire security officials and penned a long caption urging the people to act on the situation."This is also real. This is also happening. This must stop. We can stop this. Come together. Stay united. Act on climate. Invest in nature. Secure/protect forests. Grow indigenous trees. Empower organisations and individuals who make a difference. Learn the facts. Don`t be scared. Don`t run. Don`t hide. Face it. Feel it. Spend time with children. HEAR them," reads Mirza`s caption. Pataudi scion Soha Ali Khan shared a series of informative pictures about the growling forest fires and wrote: "It is hard to imagine that while we are on holiday in Sydney having such a wonderful time in the parks and farms, there are catastrophic fires blazing in many parts of Australia, not so far from us." "People have lost their lives, their homes and millions of animals have been killed. In case you have only just started reading about the fires in Australia, here is what you need to know about them and how you can help," further read her caption.

Today bloodred skies loom over Australia in what is the most apocalyptic catastrophe this nation has faced! With temperatures soaring at 48 degrees C, the bush fires are raging and difficult to contain as they are far too big and are now creating their own weather patterns causing lightening strikes that start new fires," read a part of her caption. Dandekar further urged her fans to donate for helping those affected by the bushfires. She shared the link to the donation in her bio and mentioned the same in her caption.

The smoke plumes are 14kms high & have reached New Zealand melting glaciers. Areas like the town of Eden and others have been evacuated as they can’t be saved. Roads are closed due to fallen trees & thick smoke. Fires in Victoria and NSW will most likely join and burn for 8 more weeks!!! 95 percent of koalas gone 😢😢500 million animals dead 💔an area the size of Belgium has been decimated ,that’s 5 million hectares of land gone and it shows no signs of slowing down in the peak of an Australian summer. To think of the devastation across this beautiful country is just heartbreaking.. this is tragic on a major scale! To the firefighters who have fought tirelessly and to their families who have stood by them selflessly .. nothing but respect and gratitude 🙏🏽 appreciate you and applaud your bravery!

The raging wildfire that has already destroyed around 12 million acres of land and 1500 homes is still far from coming under control. 23 people have given their lives to the crisis, reported Fox News. Several of Hollywood stars have also been raising funds for the Australian bushfire. Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, P!NK and Russell Crowe have urged people to contribute to rehabilitate the victims.

<p>Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar's latest 'Pati, Patni Aur Woh' has been doing good business at the box office ever since it released in theatres on December 6.

<p>From playing a 65-year-old in ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ to an overweight girl in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’, actress Bhumi Pednekar has been breaking the glass ceiling ever since she stepped into the Hindi film industry or so she believes with her work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Bhumi called herself the “queen of heartland cinema” who is here to take more of such off-beat and unconventional roles. She said, “Every character that I play is only getting more challenging and making me a better actor. Every time I think about what’s next, some amazing writers and directors come with path-breaking parts for me. It’s only the start and I keep telling people that Saand Ki Aankh and Bala are only my fifth and sixth films (respectively). My journey has been very short and beautiful, and I have a long way to go.”</p>

<p>She added, “Be it playing a fat person or an aged person. I don’t think it has anything to do with the way you look on screen, but how honestly you are telling the story.”</p>

<p>She went on to explain that she has no reservations about item numbers and said, “I love dancing and I’m not against item songs. I don’t have a problem with women wearing bikinis on the screen. In fact, I’ll be wearing one on screen someday. But when women are made into objects of glamour, that is something I don’t want to do. Today, a hero or a heroine is a person that inspires anyone to be or do better. I don’t think it has anything to do with the way you look.”</p>

<p>But she does have her hiccups with certain roles and added, “I’m not comfortable doing a film where the hero is smacking a girl’s bu** and the nation is celebrating it. I can’t be a part of a film that is anti-feminist or women bashing, or something that is out of my moral comfort.”</p>

<p>Bhumi also wants her work to bring a change, in addition, to entertain the audience and said, “If the audience takes back something good after stepping out of the theatre, I will be happy.”</p>

<p>While Akshay is busy with the shooting schedule of ‘Sooryavanshi’ with the cast and crew of the film, there was some announcement on his other film ‘Bachchan Pandey’ in which <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/post-housefull-4-success-kriti-sanon-joins-akshay-kumar-in-bachchan-pandey-261787">Kriti Sanon was said to have joined the team</a>. Today morning his fans were surprised with the<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/good-newwz-posters-akshay-kumar-diljit-dosanjh-squeeze-in-between-baby-bumps-261979"> first poster </a>of another film that he is a part of titled ‘Good Newwz’ with Kareena Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But no we are not here to talk about any of these films as there has been another announcement regarding Akshay Kumar and this time he is a part of a movie as a co-producer. The actor will be bankrolling Hindi remake of Telugu movie ‘Bhaagamathie’ which originally starred ‘Baahubali’ star, Anushka Shetty.</p>

<p>As per media reports, Akshay Kumar will be collaborating with producer Vikram Malhotra for the Hindi remake of Bhaagamathie. The film will star R. Madhavan and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles. Director G Ashok, who originally helmed Bhaagamathie, will direct the remake as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is also news that Akshay will be a part of the film in terms of acting in the form of a cameo role but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. It is reported that the star will shoot for six to eight days. It is on the lines of horror suspense like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film is expected to go on floor by early December.</p>

<p>‘Bhaagamathie’ is a story about a female IAS officer Chanchala Reddy who is imprisoned in a haunted house. Eventually, things take a drastic turn when she gets possessed by a spirit. The film was a big hit at the box office.</p>
