Jhund producer asks criteria after The Kashmir Files was certified tax-free

Published

on

One of several producers of Amitabh Bachchan’s latest release Jhund, Savita Raj Hiremath, has expressed her dissatisfaction with the fact that her film was not made tax-free. She said the video had a great response from the audience and dealt with a topic that is “critical to our country’s progress.” Vivek Agnihotri’s recent film The Kashmir Files was recently rendered tax-free in many places throughout the country, prompting Savita’s comments.

Savita remarked on Facebook on Friday that while The Kashmir Files is an essential film, Jhund is just as significant. “I recently saw Kashmir Files, which tells the narrative of the flight of Kashmiri Pandits and is a story that needed to be shared. For Kashmiri Pandits, it’s a good voice! However, as the producer of Jhund, I’m baffled. After all, Jhund is a significant film with a compelling tale and a powerful message that has gained widespread praise and word of mouth “she stated.

Jhund starred Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Barse, a Nagpur-based former sports instructor who pioneered a slum soccer movement and premiered in theatres on March 4 to rave reviews. Nagraj Manjule, famed for his Marathi flicks Fandry and Sairat, made his Hindi debut with this film.

The Kashmir Files, based on the flight of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s, premiered in theatres a week after Jhund. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and other members of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) complimented the film. In states such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Karnataka, Tripura, and Goa, The Kashmir Files, starring Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, and Pallavi Joshi, was also declared tax-free.

In her message, Savita also expressed her interest in learning what criteria the government uses to choose which films are exempt from the entertainment tax. “So I’m curious as to what criteria the government uses to choose a film to endorse so aggressively by making it tax-free, praising it on social media, and urging offices to play the film or offer staff a half-day holiday. After all, Jhund has a subject that is critical to the development of our country. Jhund not only discusses the gap between caste and economic disparity but also demonstrates a method for assisting the lowest strata of society in finding their own success story “she continued.

Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Raaj Hiremath, Gargee Kulkarni, Meenu Aroraa, and Manjule are among the producers of Jhund. Jhund has grossed barely over 15 crores in the fifteen days after its premiere, compared to The Kashmir Files’ 116 crores in eight days.

After the release of Runway 34 Ajay Devgn receives a handwritten message from Amitabh Bachchan

Published

on

Amitabh Bachchan, who also featured opposite Ajay Devgn in the aviation drama, has praised Ajay Devgn’s latest directorial Runway 34. Ajay, who earlier stated that he would not have done the film if Amitabh Bachchan had not agreed to feature in it, shared a handwritten message from the legendary actor on his social media pages on Saturday. After reading the handwritten message in which Amitabh termed it an “amazing honour” to be directed by Ajay in the film, Ajay said that he feels emotional.

Ajay posted a photo of Amitabh’s message with the caption, “It’s difficult to put into words the honour of having the legendary Amitabh Bachchan feature in your directorial debut. And when he writes a handwritten message with his passionate comments, it elicits a dizzying mix of appreciation and fulfilment. Thank you very much, Amit Ji! #Runway34.”

The letter was written on a notepad with the names of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, as well as a logo in the shape of a B for Bachchan. It was dated April 29. In the letter, Amitabh wrote, “Hello, Ajay! Ajay! Ajay! It was an unbelievable honour to be a part of ’34’ and to get such a wonderful director’s gift. Your work is excellent. It’s amazing how well you’ve put everything together. They claim it’s your finest, but I’m confident there will be many more. Congratulations.”

“And, Amitji closed his message with these lines,” Ajay wrote in another letter from Amitabh. “PS: Your expressions and performance in the cockpit were pure brilliance,” the note stated.” “Well deserved words on both sides,” his wife Kajol said on his Instagram account after seeing the messages.

Runway 34 is based on a true story from 2015, in which a Doha to Kochi flight narrowly avoided disaster after having trouble landing at the airport owing to poor weather and limited visibility. Captain Vikrant Khanna, played by Ajay Devgn, is a flying prodigy, and Tanya Albuquerque, played by Rakul Preet Singh, is his co-pilot. In the case, Amitabh Bachchan portrays Narayan Vedant, the investigating officer. Ajay has directed and produced the film in addition to acting in it.

According to the film’s review, “Ajay, once again donning the director’s hat, does an outstanding job. I must say, he’s a fantastic storyteller. He creates an immersive experience with Runway 34, rather than just acting.”

When Aamir’s mother dislikes his film she tells him hatao isko

Published

Zeenat Hussein, Aamir Khan’s mother, has explained how she reacts to his films that she dislikes. He said this during the premiere of a song from his next film, Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor also revealed how his mother reacted after seeing the Laal Singh Chaddha test screening.

Kahani is the first song from Laal Singh Chaddha that Aamir has released. Mohan Kannan has provided his vocals to the song, which was composed by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“When Ammi dislikes a film, she will ask, “hatao isko ye kya banaya hai?” ‘Place it away.’ She says it in a sweet tone, “As to a story, Aamir said.

When asked about his mother’s reaction to Laal Singh Chaddha’s test screening, Aamir stated, “First and foremost, I always get my mother’s reaction. Then I wait for my children’s reactions. My mother was a big fan of the movie. ‘Aamir, don’t listen to anyone,’ she said after viewing it. The film is flawless; it should be released as is. ‘Don’t take anything out.’ As a result, I must know how Ammi feels.

Aamir explained why he opted to release the song rather than the video, saying, “The songs in Laal Singh Chaddha are, without a doubt, the heart and soul of the film, and this album has some of my greatest work.

Putting Pritam, Amitabh, the vocalists, and the technicians in the limelight was a deliberate decision because not only do they deserve to be in the spotlight, but the music does as well. I’m excited to see how the public reacts to the music that the crew has put their hearts and souls into.”

Laal Singh Chaddha stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni and is an adaptation of Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. On August 11, the film will be released in theatres around the country.
