Kangana Ranaut On The ‘Judgmentall Hai Kya’ Title Change
Just recently actress Kangana Ranaut expressed her opinion on the change in title for her upcoming film Judgmental Hai Kya?, which was earlier called Mental Hai Kya, is a result of nepotism & power play in the Hindi film industry. Commenting on the movie’s title change, Kangana Ranaut said, “I think whenever it is anything to do with Kangana Ranaut, people have a problem with it. Since I am an outsider, even if I breathe, people have a problem. But we outsiders also have learnt to make our way without creating a problem. Even one of Salman Khan’s film which was a remake of a south Indian film, was named Mental. There was no problem then, but now we are told that very recently, the word “mental” is banned, so we did not have that much choice. But we truly believe that we have made a good film. Our film has got a U/A certificate. We have faith in our intentions. A small change of the title will not make much difference.” The Mental Hai Kya title drew the ire of the Indian Psychiatric Society (IPS) which complained to the censor board that the usage of the word “mental” trivialized mental health issues. The title was later changed. Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi, the film also features Rajkummar Rao, Brijendra Kala, Jimmy Sheirgill & Amyra Dastur. It is releasing on 26th Jul, 2019.
Tiger Shroff Finally Breaks His Silence
Tiger Shroff was last seen in the Punit Malhotra directorial movie named Student Of The Year 2. While rumors of Tiger Shroff & actress Disha Patani dating each other have been old news, the 2 have never confirmed the same. Smartly evading the question every time the duo continues to go on their regular Sunday lunch dates at a popular restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai. However, when Karan Johar cornered Tiger Shroff on his chat show, where Tiger Shroff wascaccompanied by his father JackieShoff, the Student Of The Year 2 actor had no option but to break his silence on the matter. When the host Karan Johar mentioned Tiger Shroff & Disha Patani’s regular lunch dates where the actor is seen carrying the lady’s bag, Tiger Shroff indeed remained nonchalant & even responded, “Holding the bag for her makes me look really nice.” As Karan Johar next plunged straight to the point & quizzed Tiger Shroff about his relationship with Disha Patani, the action hero simply said, “I am great friends with her. I love her company & we are keeping it at that.” When Karan Johar probed further, he clarified, “We both have very similar interests. I don’t have very many friends in the industry & she is one of the few people whom I get along with.” That sort of shut the host right there as he then moved on to chatting about Tiger Shroff’s bond with director Puneet Malhotra & his co-stars Ananya Panday & even Tara Sutaria from Student Of The Year 2. We must say actors seemed to have learned up how to keep their guard up on this filmmaker’s chat show which has witnessed celebrities making some really controversial statements in the past. Well, all said & done, we still wish that Tiger Shroff & Disha Paani do get together some day if they are seriously not dating. And if they are, surely there’s no harm in disclosing their relationship to fans as they will only be showered with more love. Meanwhile, on the work front, Tiger Shroff will next be seen in the 3rd installment of Baaghi lined up. Tiger Shroff is also reuniting with Shraddha Kapoor for Baaghi 3 & fans are eager to watch them on the silver screen yet again.
