Deepika Padukone jets off for pre-Valentine vacation with Ranveer Singh

<p>Deepika Padukone turned producer with her last film 'Chhapaak' - a story based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal's life. Deepika <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/deepika-padukone-joins-tiktok-promotes-chhapaak-on-platform-272152">left no stone unturned in promoting her maiden production</a> along with the film's leading man Vikrant Massey and director Meghna Gulzar.<br />

Her move divided the nation- while a lot of people hailed her for taking a stand- there were others who criticised her move and called it a publicity stunt.&nbsp;<br />

<p>The south stars- representing Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam film industries- are rewriting history. Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi is one of the most successful young stars of Tamil films. With hits like Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015), Srthupathi (2016), Vikram Vedha (2017) and Junga (2018) under his belt, in 2019 alone, he has seen two major films - 'Petta' and 'Super Deluxe' - hitting the bull’s eye. Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda hit the national limelight with the remake of his surprise Telugu hit - 'Arjun Reddy' - into Hindi as 'Kabir Singh'. The young actor, who made his debut with Pelli Choopulu (2016), has delivered quite a few hits such as Dear Comrade (2019) and Taxiwala (2018). Meanwhile, Malayalam star Parvathy Thiruvothu is known for her award-winning film 'Take Off'. She has even featured in popular Hindi film 'Qarib Qarib Singlle' and is known for her strong voice which has often been subjected to criticism.&nbsp;</p>

The south stars- representing Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam film industries- are rewriting history. Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi is one of the most successful young stars of Tamil films. With hits like Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015), Srthupathi (2016), Vikram Vedha (2017) and Junga (2018) under his belt, in 2019 alone, he has seen two major films - 'Petta' and 'Super Deluxe' - hitting the bull’s eye. Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda hit the national limelight with the remake of his surprise Telugu hit - 'Arjun Reddy' - into Hindi as 'Kabir Singh'. The young actor, who made his debut with Pelli Choopulu (2016), has delivered quite a few hits such as Dear Comrade (2019) and Taxiwala (2018). Meanwhile, Malayalam star Parvathy Thiruvothu is known for her award-winning film 'Take Off'. She has even featured in popular Hindi film 'Qarib Qarib Singlle' and is known for her strong voice which has often been subjected to criticism.

Ayushmann Khurrana, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Vijay Deverakonda come together for an epic photo

<p>Did Akshay Kumar just confirm the fifth instalment of 'Housefull 4'? On Sunday, Kumar posted a photo from the success bash of 'Housefull 4' which features actors Riteish Deshmukh, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde, Chunky Pandey, Jacqueline Fernandez and Abhishek Bachchan along with Kumar and the film's producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Akshay captioned the image as, "Last night was a #HouseFull of fun with friends from Housefull 1, 2, 3 and 4. Gearing up for 5? I don’t know."<br />
<br />
Media reports suggest that a fifth sequel of the hit franchise is indeed being planned with Nandiadwala planning to bring back actors from the previous films in the franchise for a grand film. Which perhaps, explains why Jacqueline and Abhishek feature in the film who were part of 'Housefull 2' and 3 respectively.&nbsp;</p>

Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Abhishek Bachchan to join Akshay Kumar in 'Housefull 5'?

<p>After <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/deepika-padukone-receives-crystal-award-at-davos-says-depression-is-common-yet-serious-illness-275601">Deepika Padukone</a> opened up about mental health at World Economic Forum 2020 in Davos, Switzerland, fellow Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra too made her presence felt at the summit on Tuesday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Priyanka took part in a fireside chat at the summit where she spoke about the need of philanthropy at a bigger scale to bring about solutions to the world's most challenging problems. Priyanka explained how India successfully eradicated polio with the help of 200 million volunteers. She laid emphasis on creating a population, people want to invest in.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Let's bring the world to a place where a child's dreams are achievable, where that child can get an education, where that child can have papers, where that child can actually have a future," the actress said.<br />
<br />
Thinking of the future ahead, Priyanka said, "I want my kids to grow up in a world where the world leaders have listened to Greta’s (Thunberg) generation, where the climate crisis is contained if not averted, where a woman’s ability to succeed is a basic human right and not based on geography and chance."</p>

The actress also shared a picture with Dr Ngozi from the meet. Introducing her to her fans, she wrote in the caption, “Dr Ngozi on behalf of Gavi has vaccinated 86% of the world’s children and has saved over 13 million lives since 2000. She is truly doing God’s work. Dr Ngozi is an economist, international development expert and the Chair of @gavialliance - an incredible organization that has helped immunize more than 760 million children and saved 13 million lives. The proof is in the numbers, and it’s evident that with organizations like Gavi and its amazing partners like @unicef and @who, we can eradicate extreme poverty. #Davos2020."</p>

After Deepika Padukone opened up about mental health at World Economic Forum 2020 in Davos, Switzerland, fellow Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra too made her presence felt at the summit on Tuesday. Priyanka took part in a fireside chat at the summit where she spoke about the need of philanthropy at a bigger scale to bring about solutions to the world's most challenging problems. Priyanka explained how India successfully eradicated polio with the help of 200 million volunteers. She laid emphasis on creating a population, people want to invest in. "Let's bring the world to a place where a child's dreams are achievable, where that child can get an education, where that child can have papers, where that child can actually have a future," the actress said. Thinking of the future ahead, Priyanka said, "I want my kids to grow up in a world where the world leaders have listened to Greta’s (Thunberg) generation, where the climate crisis is contained if not averted, where a woman’s ability to succeed is a basic human right and not based on geography and chance."

The actor captioned the picture, “In the “office” for my fireside chat with Maria Forbes.” The actress also shared a picture with Dr Ngozi from the meet. Introducing her to her fans, she wrote in the caption, “Dr Ngozi on behalf of Gavi has vaccinated 86% of the world’s children and has saved over 13 million lives since 2000. She is truly doing God’s work. Dr Ngozi is an economist, international development expert and the Chair of @gavialliance - an incredible organization that has helped immunize more than 760 million children and saved 13 million lives. The proof is in the numbers, and it’s evident that with organizations like Gavi and its amazing partners like @unicef and @who, we can eradicate extreme poverty. #Davos2020."

Priyanka Chopra at Davos 2020: Want my kids to grow up in a world where leaders have listened to Greta’s generation

<p>How do you humanize something as horrific as an acid attack? How do you depict such a blood-curdling crime on the big screen without making the viewers squirm in their seats? In 'Chhapaak', filmmaker Meghna Gulzar takes on a difficult story based on acid attack <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-chhapaak-to-shershaah-8-upcoming-films-that-celebrate-stories-of-unsung-heroes-265229">survivor Lakshmi Agarwal's life </a>and narrates it effectively that is restraint in its depiction but yet powerful.</p>

<p>The films leading lady - also first time producer- Deepika Padukone takes on the central character of Malti, a 19-year-old starry eyed, shy girl whose life comes to a &nbsp;standstill after a jealous neighbour throws acid on her. With a non-linear narrative, the film opens with activist Amol(Vikrant Massey) and journalist Alka looking for Malti amid the Nirbhaya protests. Amol- a journalist turned activist, runs an NGO called Chhaya for acid attack survivors in Delhi. Malti eventually lands a job in the NGO and the two develop an uncanny bond. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/deepika-padukone-and-ranveer-singh-seal-it-with-a-kiss-at-the-red-carpet-premiere-of-chhapaak-273170#chhapaak-premiere-273165">Also see- Deepika, Ranveer dazzle at the red carpet premiere of 'Chhapaak'.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>The film has a nonlinear narrative, Malti's story is shown in spurts. How she was before the attack took place, how her life changed, how her family dealt with the incident and how the police nabbed the accused- is told even as Malti and Amol go around helping, rehabilitating acid attack victims.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film never overdramatizes any of the incidents and presents a story as it is. The only scene that is repeated- and for desired effects- is the one that involves Malti being attacked. That scene is gut-wrenching and will perhaps remain one of the high points of Deepika's career. Meghna Gulzar and Atika Chohan's screenplay never minces words, especially in that scene. It is very raw and you can only imagine the unbearable pain that these victims go through. &nbsp;It's a crucial scene in the film, and definitely, one that stays with you long after you have left the theatre.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film also puts women at the forefront. Be it Malti, the victim, who initially is reluctant to fight it out, to her mother who is helpless yet puts up a strong face for her daughter, or the compassionate landlady and the lawyer who give Malti the strength and encouragement to fight back even as they warn her that the road to justice would be a long one. Meghna also uses real acid attack survivors, playing bit roles in the film- thereby making the film look more authentic and attempting to normalise it for even the viewers so that no one grimaces the next time they see some like Malti.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XVHneYYLxxE" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>While the film has fierce strong women characters, it also shows some of its men in the most supportive way. The screenplay never lets the focus shift, yet they show men equally contributing to a healthy, normal eco-system. Be it Malti's father, who despite his economic background is willing to fight the system and support her daughter, or the lawyer's supportive husband, who is always ready to step up at home when the wife has to rush to work.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
'Chhapaak' also lets the hero- in this case Amol- take a step back when the woman advises him to. He is a do-gooder but still cynical and angsty. He takes his job as the crusader too seriously. In a poignant scene, he scolds Malti for celebrating a new law being passed in favour of acid attack victims. He reminds her that her case is still pending and there's really nothing to celebrate. Malti quietly reminds him that it's she who has been a victim of the heinous crime, not him. So the right to be angry or happy remains with her, not him. Later he seeks permission to go with her for her court hearing, says, he wants to see the face of the man of the attacker and Malti again reminds him that he won't gain anything seeing his face.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such little moments make 'Chhapaak' very humane and relatable strangely. Its a journey of a girl who learns how to stand up for herself after being knocked down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The casting is on point. The film belongs to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/deepika-padukone-joins-students-at-jnu-during-protest-272794">Deepika Padukone</a>. She dominates every scene and she delivers. It's not easy to play a character and go through emotions that you have never experienced yourself- but Deepika plays its beautifully, highlighting not just Malti's strength but also her inner beauty which draws people to her.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kXVf-KLyybk" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Vikrant Massey again proves that he is a master of his craft and even though his screen time is limited, he delivers a very earnest performance as Amol, a man who takes himself too seriously even though everyone around him tells him otherwise.</p>

<p>Madhurjeet Sarghi as Malti's lawyer also delivers a commendable performance as the lawyer who never gives up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film though isn't devoid of flaws. In an attempt to normalise Malti and likes of her, it sometimes oversimplifies certain aspects of her life. Her progression from a victim to someone who fights back seems almost like a cakewalk. They keep talking about the financial problems that Maltii and her family faces but how eventually money is generated is not very clearly shown. The second half also seems to stretch a bit and almost pans about like docu-feature.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kangana-ranaut-applauds-meghna-gulzar-deepika-padukone-for-chhapaak-272845">'Chhapaak' ultimately triumphs</a>, despite these flaws. It deals with a subject that no one in Bollywood has ever spoken about. It not only educates us about the archaic laws and highlights the need for its immediate change but also normalises the entire issue at hand by showing these survivors as someone like us- &nbsp;in need for jobs, having desires, having aspirations to do things just like everyone else without constantly being stared at. 'Chhapaak' highlights the grit of scores of women like Malti who want to be accepted in a society that tries to look away ever so often.&nbsp;</p>

Deepika Padukone features in her first Louis Vuitton campaign

<p>Meghna Gulzar's 'Raazi' may have earned critical and box office success when it released in 2018 but it went completely unnoticed during the National Film Awards that were announced in. Writer Harinder Sikka, on whose book, the film was based- feels that 'Raazi' did not win any award because the makers tampered with the original story.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Meghna did a blunder with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-raazi-review-alia-bhatt-vicky-kaushals-film-serves-as-a-textbook-example-on-how-to-make-espionage-films-sans-jingoism--136082">'Raazi' </a>which is why she did not get a National Award. In fact, I was backstabbed by them(Meghna Gulzar and Gulzar)," says Sikka as he spoke exclusively to WION recently.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Based on the author's bestseller 'Calling Sehmat', the film had Alia Bhatt playing Sehmat an undercover spy from India who marries into a Pakistani Army family in order to relay information to India, prior to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sikka's book was based on a real-life Kashmiri woman who dedicated her life to India. But the author feels that while the book sends out this important message- the film's ending completely derails the message that he had intended to convey.&nbsp;<br />
<img alt="Raazi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="be92f7d6-a49b-4e78-8d0f-681c463c87d0" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/raazi_0.jpg" /><br />
<br />
"Meghna made a blunder with that ending in 'Raazi'," Sikka said and added, "In the book- when Sehmat comes back to India- she goes in front of the tricolour and salutes and thanks to the motherland for having her back."<br />
<br />
"The film should have also had a similar ending. Instead, Meghna made her comeback as a depressed woman. It seemed that a Kashmiri woman had done a blunder of sorts," the author added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sikka feels that had the ending been according to the book- 'Raazi' would have definitely won National awards. "I had told people soon after watching the film that it will not win the National Awards. That's what happened eventually. With 'Calling Sehmat' I was sending a message that Kashmiris are not traitors. But in the film, you brought her back as a depressed person. That was a negative ending."<br />
<br />
Sikka states that he had promised Gulzar to let his daughter direct the film. His only condition was that Alia Bhatt should play the lead role. "I appointed Meghna for the film and signed the dotted line only when they agreed to my conditions. &nbsp;The screenplay was to be cleared by me. I took an active part but at the same time trusted Meghna as she had done a lot of research around the book and impressed me with her talk."</p>

<p><img alt="raazi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="869ac7c4-8a9c-42c1-88a0-067255bd79dd" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/raazi%20party%204.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The author says eventually when the film was completed, he was not invited for a preview screening. "The makers brought the film prior to the release. Showed it in Imperial Hotel, Delhi to senior army officers. This was 2 months before the release of the film- but &nbsp;I was not invited. I learnt much later. Had I been invited I would not have let this happen. I watched it after the film got released. Meghna kept telling me that I will show it to you but it never happened. She knew that if I had watched, I would have raised objection about the ending."<br />
<br />
The author, whose first produced film 'Nanak Shah Fakir' won three National Awards in 2016, feels that the ending of 'Raazi' completely went against its case in front of the National awards jury. "The last scene made all the difference in the mindset of the people," he added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The writer, whose new book 'Vichhoda' is set in partition era, spent 8 years researching on 'Calling Sehmat' and felt cheated when the film did not end the way he had envisioned it. "A writer is like a mother to a story. You disown that mother- you ruin the child. That's what they did with 'Raazi'."<br />
<br />
Sikka though adds that the film was a commercial success because the first 1 hour of the film was gripping and Alia Bhatt delivered a compelling performance. "She put the film together through her innocence through her eyes, through her looks. She was fantastic."<br />
<br />
He alleges that the director did not speak to him post the film's release.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Did he express his concerns to Gulzar later, we asked. Instead of answering, the author asked "I am eager to know- who tried to delay the publishing of 'Calling Sehmat'? Who tried to stop my inclusion at the Jaipur Literature Festival?"<br />
<br />
The writer states that what happened with him is a common practice in Bollywood where once the story rights are given to makers, writers seldom have a say in the screenplay. But he feels that the practise needs to end and for that questions need to be raised.&nbsp;</p>

"No one questions them openly- Sehmat gave me 'Vichhoda', she means so much to me. If I don’t raise questions- this practice will continue in Bollywood."<br />
<br />
His new book 'Vichhoda' which released in November 2019, will also get a screen adaptation soon. Learning from his past mistakes, Sikka states he will not trust anyone too blindly with 'Vichhoda's' screenplay and see to it that makers remain true to the original story. While the book has been receiving a positive response, the director is already onto his next few books. He has already submitted the final draft of one book, and is on the verge of completing 'Remembering Sehmat' - a sequel to 'Calling Sehmat'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
An ex-Navy officer, Sikka has served as a journalist during the Kargil war and is now a communication director of a leading corporate conglomerate. He writes to spread the message of peace, he says. "I took 20 lakhs less when I sold the rights of 'Calling Sehmat' to Junglee Pictures. I gave all the money to charitable organisations. I don't write for the money- which is why it hurt more when they fiddled with such a powerful story."&nbsp;</p>

She was in the capital city for the promotions of her film when she made a quick stop at the Jawaharlal Nehru University -- a campus that has been revolting against fee hike. The students were recently thrashed by masked goons while the Delhi police took no action against the perpetrators. Deepika's move to go to the JNU was thus highly criticised while one section of the society also applauded her for the stand. Read 'Chhapaak' review here. As for the film, Deepika's 'Chhapaak' is directed by Meghna Gulzar, the same filmmaker who also gave us 'Raazi'. The film also stars Vikrant Massey in a lead role. 'Chhapaak' released with Ajay Devgn's 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’ that also stars Kajol and Saif Ali Khan in leading roles. Read 'Tanhaji' movie review here. Rajinikanth's 'Darbar' also released in the theatres today.

<p>Member of Parliament and DMK leader Kanimozhi on Wednesday took a swipe at&nbsp;JNU vice-chancellor Jagadesh Kumar for not meeting students who came under attack by masked&nbsp;mob on January 5.</p>

<p>"The VC has not come to meet any of the students nor has he tried to reach out to any students who are protesting. He doesn`t have time to meet students who are injured. FIR has been filed against a student who is injured in the attack," Kanimozhi was quoted as saying.</p>

<p>The DMK lawmaker also slammed the calls on social media to boycott actor Deepika Padukone`s movies after her visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University.</p>

<p>"I do not watch many Hindi movies, they`re actually making people like me go and watch her movies and support her," said Kanimozhi on being asked about a social media campaign to boycott Padukone`s movie.&nbsp;</p>

Member of Parliament and DMK leader Kanimozhi on Wednesday took a swipe at JNU vice-chancellor Jagadesh Kumar for not meeting students who came under attack by masked mob on January 5.

Member of Parliament and DMK leader Kanimozhi on Wednesday took a swipe at JNU vice-chancellor Jagadesh Kumar for not meeting students who came under attack by masked mob on January 5. "The VC has not come to meet any of the students nor has he tried to reach out to any students who are protesting. He doesn`t have time to meet students who are injured. FIR has been filed against a student who is injured in the attack," Kanimozhi was quoted as saying. The DMK lawmaker also slammed the calls on social media to boycott actor Deepika Padukone`s movies after her visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru University. "I do not watch many Hindi movies, they`re actually making people like me go and watch her movies and support her," said Kanimozhi on being asked about a social media campaign to boycott Padukone`s movie. The Bollywood actor`s visit to the JNU campus has received both criticism and praise on social media. The actor on Tuesday had joined students protesting against the recent violence on the JNU campus. She was seen standing with students as the demonstrators raised the slogan of "Jai Bhim-Jai Bhim" and former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar gave a speech. (With inputs from ANI)
