A total gym buff, Sooraj Pancholi recently injured his hip while practicing martial arts, which resulted in his workout sessions taking a backseat. To be seen in Prabhu Deva’s highly anticipated directorial venture, the young actor cannot avoid the gym completely. Says Sooraj, “I have been training in martial arts. I got this injury a while ago, but I’d been ignoring it. So now, it has become worse and it’s tough for me to even do a squat. I have been going for physiotherapy. I didn’t take care of it earlier, but now I have to.” Sooraj manages to make it to the gym, despite the injury. Sooraj adds, “I’m still doing it, though I have been advised not to. But I am making sure that I don’t put much stress on my hips. I will start shooting for Prabhu (Deva) sir’s film in Oct, 2017. I want to be in good shape for that, so I can’t avoid the gym.”

After Esha Gupta, Kalki Koechlin is the next celebrity to bare it all for her latest photoshoot. The actress took to Instagram to share a black & white nude photo of hers. Kalki said, “As women, we often are depicted through a man’s perspective, but this picture was clicked by a woman photographer. That’s why I found it significant to share the photograph. “Lately, body shaming has become very frequent especially amongst the actresses who are always the victims of hate. The actress continued, “I think it’s important to celebrate who you are and your body rather than ponder about what the world will think. I have always believed in the idea of wearing your personality on your sleeve. I have never been ashamed of whatever I do. People feel I don’t do mainstream cinema. But frankly, I haven’t been offered any good commercial film that has caught my interest, or one I feel is important enough for me to invest my time.” Recently, when Kalki was asked who she would like to make out with amongst the actresses, she revealed, “If I had to make out with a female actor it’d be Kangana Ranaut.”

VISHAL BHARDWAJ RENDERS A BEAUTIFUL MELODY FOR ‘SNIFF’!!!
Diving into an explored genre, Eros International’s Trinity Pictures, is all set to release Sniff!!!, a kids’ adventure film, about an 8 year old Sikh boy, who acquires a heightened sense of smell and turns a spy. With an eye for talent, Amole Gupte, better known for Taare Zameen Par & Stanley Ka Dabba, has roped in close friend Vishal Bhardwaj to sing for his highly anticipated film. Both know each other since Machis and have worked together in Kaminey, for which the former played a villain. Aware of Vishal’s musical & vocal skills, Amole insisted that he sing for his film and his friend gladly obliged. With a high emotional quotient, the song, “Aur Kitni Dur” has a melancholic tune, rendered in Vishal’s velvet voice. Composed on the lines of “Meri Maa” sung by Shankar Mahadevan, in Taare Zameen Par, the soulful ballad gives us a glimpse of Mujtaba Aziz’s music direction. The song’s video features, Khushmeet Gill brooding while going through an ordinary school boy’s routine. Says Amole, “Vishal is my dearest friend with whom I did Kaminey as an actor. He has been an inspirational person in my life. I got a kick off from Maachis, which he had composed. The whole album was a revelation. He went on to become one of the cutting edge filmmakers. He has a lovely voice which is under utilised. I just feel that the wisdom of a music director percolates into his voice, sometimes singers are self obsessed about having a correct voice, the correct thing and it gets a little over processed. When I heard Vishal sing, I was just floored and the best way to pay a tribute to a great voice like his is to use it in your film. It makes me believe that the song “Aur Kitni Dur” is in the range of Tare Zameen Par’s “Maa” sung by Shankar Mahadevan.” Written & Directed by Amole Gupte, Sniff!!!, produced by Eros International’s Trinity Pictures, will release on 25th Aug, 2017.
