IRONMAN and Jon Favreau Loves Spiderman

Spiderman is all set to be the most  important and surprise element in Captain America: Civil War on 6th May

The world was taken by surprise when a new trailer of Captain America Civil War showed the surprise appearance of Spiderman in the end. Fans are gearing up for the beloved superhero’s role as he seems to be on the side of Team Iron Man, in the conflict with Team Captain America.

Ironman and The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau has come out vocally in support of 'Spiderman' too! He said, “I think Spider-Man made me smile every second the character was on the screen. I was so pleased with the tone of the film in general, but those sequences specifically, and I just loved the way they introduced the character. I love the version of Tony Stark I saw, especially in those scenes. As somebody who was part of the beginning of the screen persona of Tony Stark, I thought that this was really impressive and a wonderful expansion of that character.”

The Captain America Civil War director, the Russo Brothers too have revealed how important Spiderman is to the movie, “If you’re telling a story, you’re gonna work everyone into the story in a way that they’re [indispensable],” said Director Anthony Russo. “He is critical to the movie, or else he wouldn’t be in the movie. The conflict between Tony [Stark] and Cap was so intense in this movie, we needed somebody who didn’t have the investment The Avengers have in their Civil War and their family,”

“And we also wanted a much younger character who would stand in contrast to the more experienced heroes. Someone who’d bring a different point of view to that battle,” added Joe Russo.

Marvel released a new official trailer for Captain America: Civil War releasing on 6th May in India and the trailer is all kinds of awesome, with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man showing up to take sides!! Who will win team Ironman or Team Captain America, find out on 6th May!  

Marvel's Captain America: Civil War starring Avengers: Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr (Ironman), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and more Avengers are coming to India on 6th May 2016.

Banjo goes dry to save water!

With several villages across Maharashtra like Latur, Jalgaon, Nanded and Aurangabad facing severe drought crisis, many from the Bollywood fraternity have voiced their concerns and come forward to help the families facing the situation. Over 90 lakh farmers have been affected by the shortage of water and have died due to severe dehydration. In lieu of this, the makers of Banjo, decided to do their bit and re-worked a Ganapati song sequence that would require several litres of water. Actor Riteish Deshmukh was a strong advocate of the opinion that there are other ways to engage the viewer and along with the crew decided to rework the said song sequence and avoid wasting water.

Riteish says, “I hail from Latur and am fully aware of the drought situation currently across many regions in and around my hometown.  In such a scenario, it dint feel right for us to use excess water for filming a particular scene, it was a unanimous decision between the producer, director and me to rework the scene.”

“The sequence originally had Riteish dancing with his band in a rain sequence during the Ganpati song and this would have resulted in wasting a lot of water. Being responsible citizens, and understanding the seriousness of the water crisis in the State, we opted for dhol, gulal and dance instead, to create a festive revelry without compromising the look or feel.” informs the Banjo producer, Krishika Lulla.

Banjo, produced by Eros International and directed by Ravi Jadhav features Riteish Deshmukh and Nargis Fakhri as leads. The music has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar and lyrics have been penned down by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
