Get ready to ROFL as Discovery Kids and Excel Entertainment launch the animated comic caper ‘Fukrey Boyzzz’

Dreams can be extremely powerful! But when desi-jugaad is applied to achieve dreams, it could lead to unimaginable chaos! You don’t believe it? Just ask Choocha, Hunny and Laali. Nobody knows more about the power of dreams better than these three!  The friends come together to do some masti which ultimately leads to Fukrapanti. Every time Choocha has an outlandish dream, Hunny tries to make sense of it by putting together an equally outlandish ‘desi jugaad’. While Laali tries to warn them, Bholi Punjaban is always in fray to sabotage the whole plan. But somehow, these motley crew of misfits manage to weasel their way out of trouble and get some good laughs along the way. Fukrey Boyzzz is a rib-tickling production that captures the innocent and harmless masti/mischief of kids. Get ready to ROFL starting October 12th, 2019 at 1.30PM and 7.30PM every day, only on Discovery Kids.

Discovery Kids, the leading kids’ channel from Discovery India, which revolutionized the Indian animation industry with ‘Little Singham’ – an animation series inspired by India’s most successful Supercop brand ‘Singham’, has teamed-up with Excel Entertainment to create this fun-filled laughter-riot based on super hit Bollywood franchise ‘Fukrey’ and ‘Fukrey Returns’.

Richa Chadha reveals on #4yearsofMasaan -“Neeraj had written Devi’s part keeping me in mind”

Masaan was written for her who would have thought that the heartbreaking story of Devi and Deepak would resonate for so long after Masaan had released. The film found a new surge of love on OTT platforms upon its release and has over time achieved a cult status amongst fans. As Richa Chadha, Vicky Kaushal and Neeraj Ghaywan celebrate four years of their memorable collaboration, Chadha fondly remembers the film as an opportunity of a lifetime.

She says, “The film was offered to me in 2012 immediately after Wasseypur;  Neeraj was an assistant on the film and that’s how we got to know each other better. Neeraj had written this part keeping me in mind. It’s the highest form of compliment for an actor when they are offered a tailor made part, when the maker has envisioned you in it even before there’s anything on paper. It will always be my most special film.”

These 5 Bollywood pairs we would love to see romance on screen together!

It’s that time of the year when romance is in the air. As the world celebrates love across the globe, Indian cinema has been known to churn out some of the most iconic romantic movies, be it comedy or drama or the good old romance in a larger than life film. Actors who often act in such films become a hot topic of their chemistry and become romantic idols off screen too. People look upto on screen romance and romantic pairs and they’re often idolised for the dreamy world of romance. However there are often many pairs who have lead together in big ticket films but haven’t been cast romantically yet their chemistry and their pairing together works magically together and makes us want to definitely see than paired in a romantic interest too!

Here are 5 pairs of such actors who have worked together but we would love to see them on screen this time, as a romantic lead.

Yami Gautam and Vicky Kaushal

Their chemistry off screen on social media while promoting their massive hit film which  is still running in theatres , Uri couldn’t be ignored. The two looked amazing together off screen and the film has too done exceptionally well entering the 200 crore mark. Their amazing pairing in A high octane action film makes us wonder and crave to hopefully seem them together on screen, this time romantically

Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal

While the duo have been on screen together, just not romantically. In the Fukrey franchise the two off screen real life couple never had too many scenes together. However since they went public in 2017 with their relationship, they have been on everyone’s top list to be featured together in a movie owing to the amazing off screen chemistry which is in equal measure adorable and sizzling!

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone

Definitely the top two good looking actors of Bollywood, were once almost to be seen on screen together. However the film eventually happened without them and these two amazingly equally talented and good looking actors were never paired together. However it would be a huge delight to their fans to see them together on screen!

Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan

Right from the time the episode of Sara Ali Khan’s debut on Koffee With Karan went on air, the media was abuzz with Sara’s comment of wanting to date Kartik. Instantly the internet was flooded with stories and fans pouring their messages to get these two actors on screen together. A lot has been said and done since then, now we can only wait and see as and when they actually get casted for a movie together. That would truly have a lot of their fans prayers answered. And for sure they would make for a oozing with chemistry pair on screen.

Katrina Kaif and Varun Dhawan

Much was spoken about the dance film of Katrina and Varun Dhawan coming together leaving their fans unanimously ecstatic. Soon after the reports of Katrina having said no to the

Film due to date clashes surfaced and the pair who had an amazing chemistry together even during their Koffee with Karan episode, the fans on the Internet are still waiting to see them together on screen.

Ali Fazal looks strikingly dapper on the cover of The Week Smart Life

Ali Fazal has graced the latest February cover of The Week Smart Life. Shot by the talented Subi Samuel, Ali looks his stylish best in a variety of suited up looks crafted by stylist Anisha Gandhi.

The title of the cover reads Hollywood Calling keeping in mind his great advent into the west with his work which he been garnering in Hollywood. After the release of Victoria and Abdul there’s been much buzz about his further work in the west one of which is a biopic based on the Iraqi War making him the first Indian to be starring in a biopic in the west.

On the work front here, Ali will next be seen in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies releasing on 15th March followed by Prassthanam with Sanjay Dutt and the season 2 of the much successful series by Amazon Prime, Mirzapur.

Ali Fazal surprises Richa Chadha for her birthday

Richa Chadha celebrates her birthday tomorrow and thus, finding time from her busy schedule, her boyfriend actor Ali Fazal planned a surprise birthday getaway for the actress. Both Richa and Ali have been busy with their respective work schedules, with Richa being busy with Shakeela Biopic and shoot of two other films, Ali was busy with the shoot of Milan Talkies and Prassthanam.

The two finally owing to the year-end, found time from their schedule and flew down to the island nation of Maldives.

It was an early birthday surprise from Ali to Richa intended to spend time away from the city to celebrate the special occasion of Richa’s birthday. So much so, that Richa only knew that it was meant to be a holiday, the destination wasn’t revealed to her too until she departed for the holiday.

The first look poster of the anticipated Shakeela Biopic is here!

Just a few days ago, the makers of one of the most anticipated biopics of 2019 released the logo of the film with a controversial tag line , ‘Not A Porn Star’ clearly emphasising the perspective of the film.

Even though she was known primarily for her roles in adult films, her phenomenal success made her several enemies and said to have caused ripples in the male dominated industry of the time.

Richa Chadha’s debut song as a singer is the perfect foot tapping number

The first look poster of the film which has the impeccable actress, Richa Chadha playing the titular lead has been released. Covered in authentic gold jewellery, which is a staple element of glamour in Kerala, Richa looks every bit convincing as Shakeela Khan.

Interestingly the actress stands defiant in the face of the insults that are scribbled on the wall behind her.

The film which has been produced by Magic Cinemas and Yoddhas Entertainment is now all set to release in Summer 2019.

Shakeela Biopic launches its first look

Shakeela Biopic is certainly one of the most awaited biopics currently based on the real life story of Shakeela, 90s adult film star who started with small roles and turned into a massive superstar. Her career at a point was so envious that male superstars of the era would fear of their films releasing alongside a Shakeela film. One of the first Indian actors whose films were dubbed in 16 international languages, Shakeela was the ideal rags to riches story with a twist of having lost it all to be back to square one.

The cast and crew who are currently on their final schedule in Bengaluru have now unveiled the logo of the film and a tag line, that’s both undaunted and unabashed. Steering away from the stereotypical image that Shakeela has in minds of people of being a soft porn actor, the film challenges the audiences and is set to give them the depth story of the woman behind the phenomenon of an unlikely superstar. She made her choices of the films she did and took great pride in her work, but her life, her growing up years, her influences are all the elements director Indrajit Lankesh has tried to bring to the table in the film that delves into the life of Shakeela. With Richa Chadha at the helm of the title role, we are certain that we will get to see a power packed performance.

Richa Chadha’s debut song as a singer is the perfect foot tapping number

Richa Chadha is a name synonymous with films, power-packed performances and important causes, but the actress now also has another talent that audiences will get to see and appreciate, singing. The Love Sonia and Fukrey actress has collaborated with Dr. Zeus and Zora Randhawa, two Punjabi pop stars who are extremely well known in the international circuit for fantastic hits.

Gawandiyaan which is an old Punjabi song has been remade to match the new age sound choices but keeping intact the important beats and notes of the song. Richa who sings and dances in the video looks like a complete Rockstar in both her avatars, in the traditional and modern looks. Not only did Richa Chadha sing along with the artists but also choreographed the dance steps along with the dancers and styled herself for the video. Also seen in the video along is her Fukrey co-actor, Varun Sharma.

We are amazed at the number of things Richa Chadha can do. This catchy song proves that she can do it all!!
