Here's how Amy Jackson's life looks like, on and off Instagram!

Image
Ever since her baby boy Andreas has come home, Amy Jackson is on cloud nine. Her holidays with beau George Panayiotou are more special now, thanks to the little one. Amy's Instagram feed is full of super adorable pictures of her son, and we aren't complaining. Right now, the three are chilling in Seychelles Island, East Africa. We saw glimpses of the gorgeous sea shore and the greens, in her earlier photos. In her latest upload, Amy hilariously points her life on and away from Instagram. After all, there are things that we do just for the 'gram', right? In one of the photos, Amy is dressed in a red bikini while she holds her son, dressed in red too. In the next picture, she leans on a tree and poses like a pro model, but the little one has disappeared! "real life VS insta life (and no, I didn’t just chuck AP into the sea)," she wrote. The real-life picture is no less beautiful, we say.   View this post on Instagram   real li

Image
The first look poster of Anubhav Sinha’s Thappad yesterday had taken the internet by a storm where Taapsee Pannu’s agitated mien truly gave away a strong message, “Thappad: Bas itni si baat?”. The makers of the film have released the trailer today and it is definitely the most hard-hitting and thought-provoking film of the year. Taking to her social media, actress Taapsee Pannu shared, “Haan bas EK THAPPAD ..... par nahi maar sakta ! #Thappad #ThappadTrailer http://bit.ly/ThappadTrailer @anubhavsinha @itsBhushanKumar @pavailkgulati @deespeak @GeetikaVidya”. The trailer captures the journey of a woman, role essayed by Taapsee who fights for justice after a domestic violence attack by her husband. Giving a strong message with promising performances, the trailer is definitely a must-watch. Touted to be a film which is this year’s Pink, Thappad is all set to continue the league of highlighting gut-wrenching subjects. Anubhav Sinha’s Article 15 is one critically acclaimed films of 20

LEAKED PHOTOS: Fans greet Akshay Kumar as he shoots for Bear Grylls’ Man vs Wild in Bandipur

Image
The popular Discovery's adventure show Man Vs Wild, that featured Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year, will feature two of the biggest stars of the country – Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar – in the upcoming episode. Earlier this week, Rajinikanth wrapped up the episode with Bear Grylls. Now, Akshay has reached Bandipur in Mysore where they are currently shooting. Several photographs from the sets of the show have surfaced online. Akshay Kumar was seen being surrounded by several cops as her made his way to the forest. The actor greeted many fans and even stopped by for photo-ops. The actor was dressed in khaki t-shirt and camouflage pants. He is currently shooting at Bandipur Tiger Reserve. Bollywood Hungama earlier reported, “Akshay Kumar makes for an ideal guest on ‘Man Vs Wild’. He’s agile, energetic and quite fit as we all know. He can easily roam around in the difficult terrain of the forest and make for great company with Bear Grylls. Akshay hopes to learn the survival t

Anupam Kher in the US for the last three months

Image
Anupam Kher is in Los Angeles for three months now, shooting for the hit American serial, New Amsterdam. The series which kick-started airing in September 2018 is now successful franchise. Anupam plays one of the pivotal characters, of Dr Vijay Kapoor, in the medical serial. Says Anupam, “We’ve just been given an extension until 2023, so there is uninterrupted and prolonged shooting for the episodes. I’ve been here (in the US) for a long time. I miss home. My mother and my wife Kirron had come to visit. But I’m homesick. There’s so much happening back home that I’m missing out on.” Recently Naseeruddin Shah made some uncalled-for disparaging remarks about Anupam Kher. But Anupam is unfazed, “I’ve replied. I’ve said what I had to. I respect him as a co-artiste. I don’t know what made him say what he did. But I wish him all the best. I hope whatever is troubling him is soon resolved.” from Featured Movie News | Featured Bollywood News - Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/2vDfvHJ

American rapper Logic meets BTS' rapper Suga at a recording studio and we wonder what's cooking

Image
In another interesting event, American rapper Logic, known for his hitmaker 'Homicide'  ft. Eminem, recently met South Korean group BTS' rapper, producer & songwriter Suga. The septet has been in Los Angeles for work commitments that included their Grammys 2020 performance followed by the first performance of their first single 'Black Swan' from their upcoming album on The Late Late Show With James Corden. While the members are yet to return to South Korea, Suga had a studio session with Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, known professionally as Logic and we wonder what this means. He took to their official twitter account to share a photo from the studio and captioned it, " a good time! #Logic301."  a good time! #Logic301 pic.twitter.com/DAFRnGtqEG — 방탄소년단 (@BTS_twt) January 31, 2020 This meet up between the two rappers indicates there might be something in works.

Into the Saif zone: 9 Times when Saif Ali Khan has played Casanova

Image
In his new film Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif Ali Khan is cast (again!) as a middle aged playboy… and if that sounds like an oxymoron, then well, we will just have to wait to see how Saif carries off the role of the aging Lothario. This is not the first time he has played the roving-eyed womanizer. A list of the films where Saif dipped his wick generously. 1. Aashik Aawara (1993): In his debut film, Saif tried to pull off the rakish naughty guy with a glint in the eye. It was a disastrous debut with Saif looking as awkward as it could possibly get surrounded by a bevy of chorus girls swooning over him. Best forgotten, remembered only for Saif’s real-life mom playing his mother. 2. Yeh Dillagi (1994): A poor pathetic copy of Billy Wilder’s Sabrina with Saif cast as the rich playboy who entraps his chauffeur’s daughter and then dumps her to go ‘Ole Ole’ with any girl who can lay his eyes on. The song ‘Ole Ole’ was a hit. Saif was not. 3. Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1994): Saif played Mic

Tapsee Pannu on being the queen of athletic biopics

Image
We don’t know how she missed out on playing the kabaddi player in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s Panga . But Taapsee Pannu is quite the favourite for all sports bio-pics. In Soorma she played a hockey player. In Saand Ki Aankh she was the sharp-shooter. Now Taapsee is shooting for Rashmi Rocket where she plays a super-sprinter from a village in Gujarat. After that she goes into Mithali Raj bio-pic Shabaash Mithu where she will play the iconic captain of the women’s cricket team. Says Taapsee happily, “I love sports. And it looks like sports loves me back.” Being the first choice for all sports bio-pics how does that make Taapsee feel? “Privileged! Empowered? That too, I started to feel empowered last year itself when some directors trusted me with the strongest of subjects.” Taapsee now needs to live up to expectations. “Expectations of those who have entrusted me with these roles and of course my own expectations. I am shooting for 16 hours a day. There is no time for anything else exc

Lizzo and Harry Styles make a dynamic duo while performing 'Juice' in Miami

Ahead of Super Bowl 2020, the pre-game events include concerts featuring some of the most sensational stars including The Chainsmokers, Lizzo, Harry Styles, Gun N Roses, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg among others. On Thursday, Lizzo took the stage as the guest performer at the SiriusXM & Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series at Meridian Island in Miami. Along with her, the fans got to witness Harry Styles who sang 'Juice' along with Lizzo. If one may remember, Harry did a cover of the song in December 2019 at BBC Radio Live Lounge. This was followed by another impromptu performance at one of his London gigs. Lizzo was quite delighted when she saw the performance.

Pedro Almodóvar talks about reuniting with the people he's worked with before

Image
Whenever anyone talks about Spanish cinema, it’s impossible to ignore the achievements of Pedro Almodóvar, one of the most internationally successful Spanish filmmakers of all time. While being one of the world's most beloved auteurs, he is often seen reuniting with actors for his projects. He's worked with Antonio Banderas on 8 films, and with Penelope Cruz in 4 films,  Pain and Glory being their latest release. Talking about working with the actors, he shares that, "It's always easier I mean, with the time because you invest, this is like investment. I mean, just to have the experience of directing them and to be understood by them and to understand them, makes everything easier at the moment of shooting. They are like part of my family because I am used to seeing them. We became friends a long time ago. It's always wonderful if I write something that they can do, of course they are the first ones to be called." Pain and Glory , directed by Pedro Almodóv

Exclusive: The behind the scenes images of Saif Ali Khan in Jawaani Jaaneman are sure to viral!

Though the film still continues to run in theatres, Saif is gearing up for his next release Jawaani Jaaneman that features him alongside Alaya F. Directed by Nitin Kakkar the film has been in the news for its unusual pairing and of course its story. But we aren’t talking about either of these facets, instead we came across a couple of images from the film that are sure to grab eyeballs. The said images feature Saif Ali Khan having a soak in a bathtub. By the looks of the image we guess the images are stills from the film that will feature this scene. Interestingly, apart from having his watch still on, in the image Saif is seen enjoying some soothing music we guess as he soaks. While these images of Saif Ali Khan in Jawaani Jaaneman are sure to viral, the film itself is slated to release this Friday.

She did say that they will speak to each other once she is out of the house and that's what she had mentioned to him as well when they were inside the house. He said everyone needs to stop assuming. He said that they are working on this in a mature way without creating any scene. He said that he didn't understand why everyone was discussing this and trying to make a scene out of it.

Saif Ali Khan is currently riding high on the success of his recent release Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior , but the actor is not taking a break. Instead Saif is busy promoting his next release Jawaani Jaaneman that will see him share screen space with Alaya F. While the film is slated to hit screens this week, we at Bollywood Hungama came across a few stills from the sets of the film which we just had to share. The said images feature Saif’s son Taimur Ali Khan having a field day on his father’s shoulders, while the latter focuses on the shoot. Joining the father and son duo, was Kareena Kapoor Khan who decided to take a vacation in London while husband Saif was shooting. Though Kareena made it a point to keep her work commitments back home, by shuttling between London and Mumbai, she did take time to accompany the two to shoot locations. The second image that we managed to get, features the three, Saif-Kareena and Taimur in Mayfair, London. As Saif and Kareena study the menu at w
