Hritik’s inspiration for weight loss

After giving super hit films like Super 30 Hritik is ready to set the screens on fire with another amazing film WAR. While promoting his film actor landed on the sets of Sony Entertainment Television’s show The Kapil Sharma Show along with his co-star Vani Kapoor. Both the actors had an entertaining time as they went of spilling beans from behind the scenes moments of WAR and shaking legs on the popular song ‘Ghungroo toot gaye’.

During the show, Kapil tried to enquire about the fact that Hritik signed for WAR because Tiger was doing the film. Clarifying the same Hritik mentions, “This wasn’t the major condition but I told the makers that if Tiger is doing the film, I will definitely do the film.” He adds, “After I did Super 30 I had gained a lot of weight. My waist size was around 38inches. Working with Tiger inspired me to lose weight and make it 30 again.” He recalls the movie Life of Pi and says “Everyone needs a Tiger in his boat”.

Further in the show, HR revealed his personal message for Vani after their 1st shoot sequence in WAR. When Vani came on The Kapil Sharma show for the first time she had mentioned that she is a huge fan of HR. Hence Kapil tried to enquire from her that how did she react on meeting him for the 1st time. Vani asked HR to share the incidence. Hritik adds, “I know why she is asking me to narrate the incidence because I wrote a very long text message after my 1st shot with her. She had put her entire heart and emotions into the film. The message read ‘What you have brought into the film is something that I did not expect. You are tremendous actor with full spontaneity.”

Anushka Shetty's NO gave Prachi Tehlan a big time career opportunity

Former national player and the well known actress Prachi Tehlan, who is going to make a debut with Malayalam cinema superstar Mammootty, has an interesting story of Mamangam, the first mega budget film of her career. She is playing the lead character in the film Mamangam and since the release of the first graphical trailer of the film, there has been a growing interest in the Hindi audience. 

According to a published story on Amar Ujala, a few sources reveal that makers of the film had earlier approached South's famous actress Anushka Shetty for the female lead role. Both of the films of Anushka's Bahubali series had become hits by that time and had become a well-known figure in the north region too. However, Anushka wanted to do a light-hearted film after doing two period films, so she refused Mamangam's offer and started shooting for her next film Silence with R. Madhavan. 

On the other hand, after Anushka Shetty's debut, the makers of the movie Mamangam decided to launch a new face with Mammootty instead of going to another big heroine and the film's production team came and camped in Mumbai. Sources associated with the casting of the film Mamangam reveal that auditions for this role were given to all the actresses in Mumbai and Prachi Tehlan's name was final among them. Sources also shared details of how long Prachi prepped for this role before shooting the film.

The first poster of Prachi's Looks has been released and since its release, there have been reports of some big producers of Hindi cinema contacting Prachi as well.

They are big heroes for the entire nation to look upto. For me a very emotional reason to do this film was that I just couldn’t stop thinking about my mother when I heard the story. For me this story is about those women, who before marriage spent their life listening to their fathers, after marriage, they lived for their husbands and later they had children and lived for them and never lived for themselves. My mother is 60 and now I feel like telling her that she is should live her life the way she wants. From my side this film is dedicated to my mother”

I feel indebted to Tushar for bringing this story to us,”
