Family Man goes international, to be dubbed into 10 international languages

If fans of Raj-DK’s  The Family Man  are wondering why they’ve to wait until so long—February 12 is the release date-- for Season 2, there is a reason for the delayed season. “One is of course is Covid, that villain of every show in 2020,” informs a source close to the project. “But there is a bigger reason why The Family Man 2 was delayed. It’s because The Family  Man 2 will be dubbed into various foreign languages by Amazon and released simultaneously across the globe, along with the original Hindi version.” This is a marketing strategy Amazon adapted after seeing the response to the first season of  The Family Man. “The Family Man in Hindi was received well all across the globe even in Hindi. To widen its reach, Amazon has now decided to dub Season 2 globally,” says my impeccable source. The directorial duo Raj and DK have a reputation of doing the unexpected, whether is India’s first zombie film ( Go Goan Gone ) or a game-changing comic...

Bigg Boss 14’s Vikas Gupta’s mother denies breaking ties with him for his sexual orientation

Since the time Vikas Gupta came out of the closet as a bisexual on his social media, he mentioned that his parents had disowned him for his sexual orientation and has mentioned it on Bigg Boss 14 as well. The producer is on the show as a challenger along with 5 other contestants, out of them, Kashmera Shah has been evicted so far. While Vikas’ mother did not say anything initially, she has finally decided to break her silence on the matter and called Vikas’ allegations a hoax. Taking to her social media, Sharda Gupta wrote, “To think that we actually distanced our own (son) for his sexual orientation is equal to making a derogatory statement about my family. Yes, my son and I are not on great terms but that has nothing to do with his orientation. We had cut off ties with him much before he decided to come out in public, and we knew and have always loved him and accepted him the way he is. So the news about us distancing him cause of his choices is a complete hoax fabricated to one’s ...

Anil Kapoor reveals that Sunita Kapoor was supposed to be a part of AK vs AK but refused

Anil Kapoor was last seen in AK vs AK and the actor was lauded for his performance. He has always been a family man head over heels in love with his wife Sunita Kapoor. In his recent interview, Anil Kapoor revealed that Sunita Kapoor was initially supposed to be a part of Vikramaditya Motwane’s directorial, but was sure she did not want to do this. Sunita Kapoor’s role was to be the one who calls the shots in the house but she was sure that she did not want to face the press. She had apologized for not being a part of this journey but Anil said that they were all scared of her. Recalling an incident where Vikramaditya Motwane wanted her to do a vocal cameo like that of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, when Anil asked her about it, she gave him a look and that was enough for them to back out. This answers the question about Sunita Kapoor being missing from the film for all those asking.

Fox Star Studios’ exit from film business puts a question mark over its three-film deal with Akshay Kumar

In November 2018, Fox Star Studios announced that it has signed a three-film deal with superstar Akshay Kumar’s banner Cape Of Good Films. It seemed like the beginning of a great association and obviously, it got the trade quite excited. The first movie as part of this partnership was Mission Mangal , the super-hit 2019 sci-fi drama. Fox and Akshay then followed it up with Laxmii . It was scheduled to release in cinemas on Eid 2020 but due to the shutting of theatres in the lockdown, it got a direct OTT release, on Disney+ Hotstar, on Diwali.
