Bigg Boss Grand Finale with Salman Khan could happen on January 29

Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar who has publicized a full 20 contestants who have been on India's No.1 reality show Bigg Boss in the earlier seasons, has speculated that BB10 could have its Grand Finale on January 29, 2017.

"Bani J is born on 29th. Even her age is 29. This month's 29th falls on a Sunday. Nice number, nice day to hold the #BiggBossGrandFinale?," he tweeted in Donald Trump's typical vague style, hinting that Bani could be the winner of the Salman Khan-hosted show.

The Bollywood publicist has earlier looked after the publicity for some of the topmost controversial BB names such as Rakhi Sawant, Rahul Mahajan, Ashmit Patel, Sambhavna Seth, Vindu Dara Singh, Sonali Raut, Sherlyn Chopra, Amar Upadhyay, Pooja Misrra, Aman Verma, Aarya Babbar and Mandana Karimi.

For this, Dale has often been called a Big Boss specialist by the media. He is also the same public relations expert who handled the media for Shilpa Shetty when she participated in the UK reality show Big Brother and won it, emerging as an international icon against racism.

The spin doctor has been seen supporting Lopamudra Raut on Twitter, patronizing her fans, especially ones with the hashtag #LopaArmy. However, when BB10 rolled, Dale admitted that he had interacted with a few celebrity contestants before they entered the show, but did not take up any current participant for PR activity. "I was just not kicked about them this year," he had said.

It can also be noted here that Bigg Boss 10's TRP ratings by Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) are said to have shown a dip this year, with the reality show apparently having a tough time grabbing as many eyeballs as before.

Disney - Beauty And The Beast OST ARIANA GRANDE AND JOHN LEGEND TO PERFORM

ARIANA GRANDE AND JOHN LEGEND TO PERFORM  

OSCAR® AND GRAMMY®-WINNING SONG “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”

AS THE TITLE TRACK FOR DISNEY’S UPCOMING SOUNDTRACK TO THE LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION OF THE ANIMATED CLASSIC

GRAMMY nominated and multi-platinum selling artist Ariana Grande and 10-time GRAMMY, Oscar®-winning and multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter/ musician John Legend are set to perform the Oscar and GRAMMY-winning duet “Beauty and the Beast” as the title track for Disney’s upcoming soundtrack to the live-action film adaptation “Beauty and the Beast.” The song will also be featured in the film.

The enchanting ballad, originally performed by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson featuring eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken’s beautiful melody and two-time Oscar-winner Howard Ashman’s unforgettable lyrics, received an Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and GRAMMY Award,among other accolades, upon its release in 1991.

The new rendition of the classic song is produced by GRAMMY-winning veteran Ron Fair, whose music career spans 37 years as a major-label record company leader and accomplished producer, arranger, recording engineer and musical director. Fair was brought in to produce by Disney’s president of Music & Soundtracks, Mitchell Leib, who also brought Grande and Legend to the project. The history of collaboration between Leib and Fair in film music goes back to the highly-successful “Pretty Woman” soundtrack. “Ron was the first and only choice to make this particular record,” says Leib. “No one is a better vocal producer and he also has a great understanding of the filmmaking dynamic.”

Fair’s recordings have won six GRAMMY Awards and have been nominated 18 times. Fair discovered and shepherded Christina Aguilera, selling over 50 million albums and winning numerous GRAMMY Awards. He A&R’d Aguilera’s first five albums and championed the Black Eyed Peas to 27 million albums, 4 number-ones and multiple GRAMMY wins, as well as co-producing and arranging the strings on their global breakthrough # 1 hit “Where is The Love?”

Says Fair, “Stepping into the shoes of an Oscar and GRAMMY Award-winning classic is not small potatoes. But with today’s two greatest plutonium singers – John Legend and Ariana Grande – we are bringing the song back with a new school-old school fresh treatment that shows the soulfulness and power of what a great melody and lyric can inspire.”2

The music video will be directed by Dave Meyers, the innovative visionary whose long-time collaborations with major artists like P!nk, Janet Jackson, Ice Cube and Britney Spears have resulted in dozens of award nominations and many wins, including a GRAMMY in 2005 for Best Music Video and 11 MTV Video Music Awards, including one for Katy Perry’s smash hit “Firework.”  He recently directed the music video for P!nk’s hit single “Just Like Fire” from the Walt Disney Records soundtrack for “Alice Through The Looking Glass.”

Menken also provides the film score, with new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Ashman. Also featured are three new songs written by Menken and veteran lyricist and three time Oscar winner Tim Rice. The original motion picture soundtrack will be released by Walt Disney Records on March 10, 2017.The pre-order is available now at http://disneymusic.co/BeautySndtrkP.
