SRK's look and style in Raees reminds of Amitabh Bachchan in Agneepath

While the new trailer of Raees is catching up with megastar Shah Rukh Kans fans like wild-fire, it has an interesting similarity with something about megastar Amitabh Bachchan. 
Not many have noted that the new trailer of Raees has aspects that resemble the look, feel and style from a film of the biggest star Bollywood has ever produced – Amitabh Bachchan.
We are talking of none other than the Big B classic Agneepath and his iconic character of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. This became clearer when Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar mentioned a couple of pointers and nuances about the trailer today on his Facebook.
"Saw the new Raees trailer. Shah Rukh Khan's voice in it, his style of saying 'maloom hai', the laugh before that (though that's patent SRK laugh too), putting hand on the chest while talking, the grunge godown-like backdrop with the colourful glass windows and the dull greenish walls, the close-up of the eye, the cheering public... they all remind me of Amitabh Bachchan in Agneepath," wrote the publicist. True that! And so interesting to note.
Mentioning this, Dale added a verse in Hindi from the famous Harivansh Rai Bachchan poem which was incorporated by director Mukul Anand in the movie. "यह महान दृश्य है, चल रहा मनुष्य है, अश्रु, स्वेद, रक्त से, लथ-पथ, लथ-पथ, लथ-पथ, अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ! अग्निपथ!" 
(The exact meaning of it being: What greater spectacle, than to see such a man walk, who in tears, sweat and blood, is soaked, covered and coated; and still walks on in the path of fire! Walks the path of fire! Yes, that path of fire!)

Universal Music Group Chairman & CEO Sir Lucian Grainge commented, “There are few artists in history who have created a body of work so successful, diverse and timeless as Barry, Robin and Maurice. We’re delighted to welcome the incomparable music of the Bee Gees to the Universal Music Group family and we look forward to building upon their incredible legacy.”

Their soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is one of the biggest-selling and culturally significant albums of all time, having sold more than 40 million copies around the world, spawned four Bee Gees global hits and reinvigorated the trio’s earlier hits “Jive Talkin’” and “You Should Be Dancing.”  The album was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress in 2013 for long-term preservation, having been cited for its cultural, artistic and historic importance. 

Among the countless awards and accolades bestowed upon The Bee Gees are eight Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music and a Legend Award from the World Music Awards.  They have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Dance Music Hall of Fame.  All three brothers were appointed Commanders in the Order of the British Empire in 2001.

Director Manish Tiwary back with ISSAQ team for his next titled Chidiakhana; SHOOTING OF CLIMAX FOOTBALL MATCH

Present on the set were Ravi Kishen,Prashant Narayanan, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Govind Namdev,Ravi gossain with Ritwik Sahore (Dangal fame) as young Bihari football player who lands at a Marathi dominated chawl in Mumbai
Director Manish Tiwary is shooting his sports film titled Chidiakhana in various locations of Mumbai as varied as Piarel chawls to Girgaum chowpatty to old Port areas in Ray Road. Tiwary feels authentic locations are key to giving life and soul of the film. The film is based around the game of football and one of the key locations is the playground that the matches are played on. The crew of the film had seen more than a dozen grounds from those in south Mumbai to Chembur to Nalasopara only to find that a society ground at Four Bungalows in Andheri perfectly suits the film!
Titled Chidiakhana the film is about, a Bihari teenager who lands up in a Marathi chawl with his mother. The boy has a passion for football and is trying to get a place in the BMC football team and the mother-son duo face many difficulties when a local Marathi gangster comes to their rescue and gives wings to their modest dreams.
Said Manish Tiwary, “Time seemed perfect for this subject as my film is set against sport backdrop. Sports films is current flavour and is finding better acceptance amongst audience. It is also set in Mumbai and has very real locations. Fourteen-year Sooraj has a fantastical way of looking at the world. Everyone is an animal in his world, a Chidiakhana, where he is yet to find his place. His first introduction itself rubs the class-bully Babu the wrong way – for he is a Bihari among a largely Marathi gang. All this makes it impossible for him to shine in the game of football, his ultimate dream. Films and sports both need a great team to succeed and am happy to have found one.“
Director Manish Tiwary who has earlier directed films Dil Dosti Etc and ISSAQ takes off on an absolutely diverse premise this time. The cast list inlcudes Ritwik Sahore, the boy from Ferrari ki Sawari and Dangal, along with Prashant Narayanan, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Ravi Kishan, Anjan Shrivastava, Govind Namdev, among others.
