‘Mardaani 2’ recently got mired in a legal soup when a Kota-based corporator Gopal Manda sent legal notice to the Censor Board chairperson Prasoon Joshi and film producer Aditya Chopra, director Gopi Puthran and the information and broadcasting ministry for removing the name of the city from their movie.&nbsp;

In the notice, he has raised a demand to change the name of Kota city in the film as he feels that it maligns the name of the city. It further states that unless the name of the city is removed, screenings would be blocked and the matter would be taken to the High Court, according to lawyer Ashwin Garg.

Mardaani 2: Filmmaker, Censor Board get legal notice for Rani Mukerji starrer

You might have heard of Akshay Kumar’s professionalism and punctuality but he gave a live example to his director recently while shooting for upcoming film ‘Good Newwz’.

The actor who is currently undergoing physiotherapy sessions for his back injury filmed for a song even while he was in pain as it was pre-scheduled and Akshay Kumar didn’t want his director or the fellow cast to face inconvenience.&nbsp;

This happened a few weeks ago when Akshay Kumar was to shoot for a song for his film but he woke up with severe back pain owing a back injury that he suffered a couple of months back. It didn’t stop him though and he went on to the set.&nbsp;

Film director Raj Mehta cited in a published report said, "Akshay&nbsp;was also running a fever on the night before the shoot. We weren't expecting him to show up, but surprisingly, he did, and even managed to pull off the choreography set by Bosco [Martis]. It was a relief for him as getting the entire cast together for the song on other dates would have been very difficult considering the film has big names like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani.&nbsp;

Good Newwz: Akshay Kumar shot for a high-octane party song with a back injury

Ever since the first look poster of Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Thalaivi’, a biopic on late actor-politician Jayalalithaa has been released, the audience has more so appeared divided on whether they like Ranaut’s transformation for the film. While some find it awe-inspiring, others have called it fake with the poster not looking anything like the actor nor the character she portrays. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/thalaivi-teaser-kangana-ranaut-overawe-with-her-first-look-as-jayalalithaa-264105">Watch teaser here.&nbsp;</a>

Opening up on the transformation, Kangana Ranaut said, "[When aping a person for cinema], actors usually get the apparel and appearances on point, but not the physical transformation. Vijay wanted me to resemble her as closely as possible. She [Jayalalithaa] endured a drastic physical transformation in her life. Having grown up as a Bharatanatyam dancer, she had an hour-glass figure. Then, when she joined politics, she had an accident which demanded that she be injected with huge doses of steroids. While we could not depict all of that, we did take measures [to resemble her during these phases]."

Kangana has previously spoken about her struggle with gaining weight and as she had to play the role of Jayalalithaa, she had to look like a woman with a round face with a voluptuous body, unlike her tall and slender frame. The actress gained six kilos for the part and said, "That was needed so as to look voluptuous, especially around the belly and thighs. Since I am tall and skinny, and my face is angular, not round, I had to take mild doses of hormone pills to look different. Of course, I also started eating foods that promote weight gain."

There was more that went into getting the Jayalalithaa look right for the role, in addition to the pills. Kangana also revealed that the makers of the film sought aid from Jason Collins, who has worked on the prosthetics for big-ticket Hollywood action films like ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and ‘Captain Marvel’. She said, "His team made a structure that was suitable to make me look voluptuous. During the portions showcasing her as a young politician, we aimed to only make my face look fuller. As for the rest of the body, it took the team seven hours each day to acquire the look. The hands had to be re-done, and different kinds of pads were used for different parts of the body."
