Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali? After watching the National Award winning film, everyone was left with the same question, but couldn’t get any answer. It was only the film’s director S.S. Rajamouli, who could explain the real reason behind it and finally he revealed the truth.

In a video shared by Dharma Productions, Baahubali director S S Rajamouli has been interviewed wherein he has clearly said that Kattappa killed Baahubali because, “I asked him to do so.”

Well, a hilarious answer, but definitely not what the world was expecting it to be. But Rajamouli doesn’t want to give away the real reason which will only be answered in the sequel of Baahubali.

Watch Rajamouli’s entire video here.

Further, the director revealed that no one on his sets could play any pranks. Rana Daggubati, who played Bhallala Deva in the film, was always on time and it was the jump sequences of Prabhas in the film which were the most difficult ones to shoot as the actor had had a shoulder injury.

The team is currently shooting for the second part of Baahubali which features Prabhas in the lead role once again, with Rana playing Bhallala Deva, Anushka Shetty as Devasena and Tamannaah Bhatia as Avanthika. Rajamouli will bring back Kattappa aka Sathyaraj once again in the second part as well.

Hrithik Roshan’s fake ID case: Cops summon Kangana Ranaut, actress refuses to appear

Police have summoned Kangana Ranaut and her sister to record their statement, following a complaint lodged by actor Hrithik Roshan for fake email-ID. Police have summoned Kangana Ranaut and her sister to record their statement, following a complaint lodged by actor Hrithik Roshan for fake email-ID.

The city police have summoned three-time National award winning actress Kangana Ranaut and her sister to record their statement, following a complaint lodged by actor Hrithik Roshan against unknown persons for alleged impersonation.

After Hrithik approached the suburban Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) police, an FIR was registered against unknown persons for allegedly creating a fake email-ID in the actor’s name and using it to chat with his fans.

Recently, when Hrithik and Kangana had sent legal notices to each other, the “Queen” star revealed that she was corresponding with Hrithik through mails.

Hrithik had, however, refuted this and said the email ID was not created by him.

Kangana’s advocate Rizwan Siddiqui, in a statement released here today, said the cyber crime cell of BKC police issued summons to the actress and her sister Rangoli to appear before it within a week so as to record their statements.

In reply to the summons, Siddiqui also said that no police officer can summon his client Kangana and her sister to any police station to record their statement, as a witness under section 160 of CrPC.

“The witness summons sent to my client and her sister by the police officer are patently illegal, as no woman can be called to the police station to record her statements as per the provisions of law,” he said in the statement.

According to the lawyer, Kangana had willingly expressed her desire to co-operate with police officers, in accordance with the provisions of law.

Earlier, Hrithik had refrained from naming Kangana in his complaint and had told the police that he learnt about the imposter and fake email-ID from a fan.

However, the actor later re-approached police urging them to probe the case fast, and revealed that Kangana had told him about this email-ID.

Hrithik, in his legal notice to Kangana, claimed to have received about 1,439 emails from the “Tanu Weds Manu Returns” actress on his correct email-ID, and also the forwarded emails she had sent to the fake ID and the replies received therein.

The “Bang Bang” star claimed he learnt about the alleged imposter in May 2014, following which he filed a complaint with the cyber crime cell in December the same year.

“He (Hrithik) did not wish to take any action against the so-called imposter for seven months. Also he did not bother to take the required details of the imposter from my client (Kangana) during those seven months,” Siddiqui said in the statement.

“In December 2014, Hrithik filed an informal complaint with the cyber cell with full knowledge that no investigation shall be carried out by the police on an informal complaint,” he said.

He further claimed that Hrithik was required to act or reply on the notice sent by Kangana within seven days.

“However, thereafter, on receiving my notice on the 1st of March, he (Hrithik) cleverly chose to maintain a ‘dignified silence’ as there could not have been any good reply to my notice where his statements were proved to be blatant lies,” he said in the statement.

In February this year, Hrithik had sent a notice to Kangana demanding an “unconditional apology” for a “defaming” remark in an interview where she allegedly referred to him as “silly ex”.

In an apparent rebuttal, the 42-year-old actor had then tweeted, “There are more chances of me having had an affair with the Pope than any of the (I’m sure wonderful) women the media has been naming…”

Kangana, in her reply notice to Hrithik sent on March 1, refuted all the allegations levelled against her.

The 29-year-old actress refused to apologise and demanded that Hrithik take back his notice or face further action.

In her 21-page notice on March 1, the actress had stated that, “She (Kangana) is not some dim-witted teenager who has been smitten and that whatever happened between the two of them was with full consent of both parties.”

In his notice, Hrithik had contended that he and Kangana acted only in two films and besides professional relationship, there wasn’t any social, personal, platonic and/or intimate relation between them.

Kangana had in her notice claimed that she was not a stranger to Hrithik or his family members.

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez, who shot to fame in India through performances in films like “Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai” and “Kick”, says though acting was not her childhood dream, she was “always comfortable in front of the camera”.

“I did a bunch of things from the age of 14. I hosted TV shows on local channels in Bahrain and did some modelling. I was always comfortable in front of the camera,” Jacqueline said.

“I knew I’d be doing something in the entertainment industry, something that required me to be on television or required me to be a journalist or a broadcaster. I wanted to intern with CNN or BBC. Their investigative reporting inspired me.

“I even thought I’d be a documentary filmmaker, because I loved travelling,” she added.

She was such a travel junkie that when Jacqueline turned 16, she went to London on her personal investments that she had made through modelling and TV shows.

“I travelled on my own for 10 days. It was a crazy experience. On the second day, I ended up spending all my money and I still had eight more days to go – my first time there and I had no cash and was lost. There were no mobile phones then. One really sweet Indian lady helped me out,” she recollected.

Among her favourite destinations are Japan and Antarctica.

Asked about things she hates about travel, Jacqueline said: “Sometimes, I dislike airports, the immigration and the security process. It’s a big mess and is irritating.”

Actress Lisa Haydon, who has teamed up with superstar Akshay Kumar for the second time after “Shaukeens”, calls him the master of comedy.

“He (Akshay) is the funniest person I have ever met. He is always charged up when he does comedy and one as to be on their toes as you don’t know what he might do or say,” Lisa told PTI.

“He is very helpful. He has very good sense of humor. He is the master of comedy.. he understands every bit of it (comedy). You understand and learn so much by working with him,” she said.

In Vikas Bahl’s “Queen”, Lisa played the role of Vijay Laxmi, a Paris based free-spirited single mother. This role proved to be a career-defining move for the model-actress.

The success of the Kangana Ranaut starrer proved to be quite lucky for the 29-year-old actress, who will be seen in Akshay Kumar’s “Housefull 3” and Karan Johar’s “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”

“I am glad I am getting to do interesting work in films like “Housefull 3”, “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” and “Santa Banta”. Indian cinema is going through a change and there is work for everyone,” Lisa adds.

“I feel lucky to be part of a successful franchise like ‘Housefull’ and getting to work with actors like Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan,” she said.

In “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, Lisa will be seen in a cameo appearance.

“I was very excited when I got an offer for this film.

It’s a huge project. When Karan narrated me my part I loved it,” she said.

“Unfortunately, I can’t reveal anything about my character in the film. I shot for it in London,” she added.

Besides these two projects, Lisa is excited about her next release “Santa Banta” that stars Vir Das, Boman Irani, and Neha Dhupia in lead roles.

Radhika Apte says she is having a great time working on superstar Rajinikanth-starrer “Kabali”.

The 30-year-old “Hunter” actress is playing Rajnikanth’s wife in the film that will see the veteran actor playing a gangster.

“Experience of working on ‘Kabali’ has been great so far. I am having an amazing time but it’s too early to talk about it in detail,” Radhika told PTI on the sidelines of ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016.

The actress walked for designer Sonali Pamnani’s “The Meraki Project,” and was excited about her runway debut.

“I walked the ramp for the first time today. It was amazing. I was a bit nervous initially, but I loved the clothes Sonali gave me. I can wear it anywhere,” she said.

However, Radhika, who looked confident on ramp said the most difficult part about being on the stage is wearing heels.

“I am a flats person. I love being comfortable. Wearing those high heels was the toughest part. But, I feel it is a necessity on ramp as it gives the body a very nice posture. I want to be comfortable both in flats and heels,” she said.

Apart from P Ranjith directed “Kabali,” Radhika will be seen in “Hunter 2” and filmmaker Shirish Kunder’s short film debut “Kriti,” which also stars Manoj Bajpayee.

Other designers to showcase their collection along with Sonali were labels ASA and Indigene.

“Whenever our film is released, after some days we sit down to have a chat over it. And that continues for a long time,” Ranveer said.

Reiterating the “Bajirao Mastani” actor’s views, Arjun said: “Being an actor, one should discuss his/her work with friends as we know how much effort we put in a film, so it’s always better to sit and talk about the process and how you should try to give better performance in your next.”

“And not just about the performance, we talk about other aspects of the films also,” Ranveer added.

Arjun also noted that people easily point out flaws in an actor’s work, because they aren’t “aware of the efforts.”

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”, which has been chosen as the Best Hindi Film at the 63rd National Film Awards, helped him in getting “respect and credibility” in the industry.

“I think I got the respect and credibility as an actor after ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ because in my first film ‘Vicky Donor’ I was playing myself, a Punjabi,” Ayushmann told IANS.

The actor said he had to walk an extra mile for the Sharat Katariya-directed “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” as he had to change his persona for his character in the romantic comedy film.

“In ‘Dum Laga Ke…’ I had to change my dialect and body language. I have never stayed in Uttar Pradesh. Khari boli (dialect) was not that easy. It was not coming naturally to me and I was playing completely somebody else. So ‘Dum Laga Ke…’ got me respect as an actor,” added the “Nautanki Saala!” actor.

Ayushmann, 31, says he is glad that the National Film Awards jury connected to the movie.

“The National Award is the most coveted and credible award. It is a film with a big heart and I am glad that it connected with the jury and people as well,” he added.

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who has been maintaining a balance between commercial and performance-based films, says she will keep “mixing it up”.

“I have balanced it out quite well between commercial and performance-oriented films. You will get typecast if you do only heroine-oriented films, so I am not like that… I do everything. I will keep mixing it up and do all kinds of films,” Kareena told reporters here.

Asked about how the scenario has changed in the film industry for actresses over the years, Kareena said: “Earlier people used to say that after marriage it’s not possible to work in films, but I am still working after getting married.”

The “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” star said that actresses themselves have to set an “example” for others.

“I am a film child… I have grown up here and I feel things have changed. They are making better films and the quality is also so much better,” she added.

Kareena is busy promoting her film “Ki & Ka” with Arjun Kapoor. She plays the character of Kia, an ambitious and career-oriented woman in the film, and says it has a different concept.

“The story is different… For the first time, we are showing something like this on the Indian celluloid. It’s a very sweet film and people have liked the promos because of the concept,” she added.

Directed by R. Balki, the film is slated to release on Friday.

Actress Richa Chadha, who is playing a cabaret dancer in Pooja Bhatt’s “Cabaret” hopes that people like the new facet of her performance skills.

“Cabaret”, whose fresh teaser was released recently, is based on dance and it is the first time the “Masaan” actress will be seen portraying a sensuous image.

“As you can tell from the teaser, it’s a dramatic thriller. It’s one girl’s story of survival against all odds. On top of that, there’s a love story and a lot of song and dance. I did the part to explore myself as an actor, for the love of dance,” Richa said in a statement.

Goa will get a full-fledged convention centre by 2019 to host the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar said on Thursday (March 31).

Around two lakh square metres of land had been transferred from the state government’s land bank to the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG), co-host of the IFFI, for the convention centre, he said.

The prime real estate was lying idle ever since the government scrapped the setting up of the Rajiv Gandhi IT habitat at Dona Paula, one of the tony areas on the state capital’s outskirts.

The proposed centre will be constructed on a public-private partnership basis under a revenue-sharing arrangement. It will include a 100-room hotel and adequate film screening facilities, Parsekar said.

Goa was chosen as a permanent venue for the IFFI in 2004. Since then, the festival has been held at a private multiplex built on government land here.

Delegates have consistently complained about the lack of screening facilities at the venue.

The ESG is a state agency which co-ordinates with the information and broadcasting ministry’s directorate of film festivals to organise the event every year.

“The proposed convention centre will accommodate around 8,000 people and also house the permanent offices of the ESG and the directorate,” the chief minister said.

Base Notes: Vivian Fernandez aka gully rapper MC Divine

Vivian Fernandez, mc divine, rapper Vivian Fernandez, Vivian Fernandez mumbai rapper,  Jungli sher,  Jungli sher apple music, vivian fernandez  Jungli sher, entertainment news, latest music The rapper, Vivian Fernandez is referred to as the “Slumdog Millionaire of Sahar” by his fans.

With the trademark bandana wrapped around his neck, Vivian Fernandez aka gully rapper MC Divine, talks about the one lesson from his mother that he considers gospel truth: loyalty. That’s why he has decided to stay loyal to his roots — the drug-addled slums of JB Nagar, behind Sahar International Airport, where he grew up, and Bombay 70 or Kurla West, the place known for all kinds of notoriety, where he was born.

Among the list of Mumbai boys who have been trying their best to keep rooted in their context of gully cricket, illiteracy and the general dysfunction of suburbia through hardcore hip-hop music, MC Divine, 25, has been a busy man for the last couple of weeks. He has been promoting his new song Jungli sher, the first single by an Indian artiste to be released worldwide by Apple Music. The song brings to the fore the struggles he had to endure while growing up in the slums of JB Nagar and how he became a rapper.

“Hip-hop is about your own struggles. When you don’t write your own lyrics, it’s not really hip-hop. Also, struggles do not comprise so many tiresome parties with cars, bikes and women. Now, do they?” he quips, about the Chaar bottle vodkas and Blue eyes that exist. The rapper is referred to as the “Slumdog Millionaire of Sahar” by his fans.

It was in school that Fernandez first heard hip hop. “I saw a classmate wearing a 50 Cent t-shirt. I didn’t know who he was, so my friend gave me a CD with some 500 songs — all hip hop. At first, I couldn’t understand a word, so I read the lyrics online. I was in love,” he says. While his heart was set on studying sound engineering, his mother couldn’t afford the tuition fee, and gifted her son a microphone. “It became my best friend,” he says.

Obsessed with gospel rap at first, so much so that he called himself “Divine” on stage, Fernandez started rapping in English. Soon, he shifted to Hindi to “break the language barrier”. It’s been a while since he’s been rapping but he came under the limelight only last year when his song Mere gully mein with MC Naezy went viral. It earned him a place in the list of Top 6 artistes to watch out for in 2016 by the BBC Asian Network. “They thought I could change the scene for Hindi rap,” says he.

Signed by Sony Music, he was invited by bass sensation Nucleya to be a part of his album Bass Rani and open for international dubstep star Skrillex, alongside him last year. “I want to talk about my Mumbai, the alleys where I grew up playing football bare feet, as the only pair of shoes I had was kept aside for when I had to go to Church,” says the artiste. On April 30, he will perform at BBC’s
