Laal Singh Chaddha, Jersey, Nikamma shoots come to a halt amid Coronavirus pandemic

Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha’s next schedule has been put on hold for now. The actor completed his shoot on Sunday, March 15. Since the actor has been shooting the film in real locations, it requires him to follow the same protocol for the next schedule too. The next schedule date will be decided on a later date observing the scenario. The film, which stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, is scheduled for Christmas 2020 release.

The shooting for Nikamma starring Abhimanyu Dassani, Shilpa Shetty and debutante Shirley Setia has come to a halt too. The shooting was pre-emptively called off on Saturday ahead of the decision made by several bodies. The 10-day schedule required few scenes to be shot along with the title track of the film. A huge set was erected at Madh Island where the trio was supposed to shoot the title track before Sabbir Khan sent out the message on Saturday that the shoot was called off. The film is almost complete as per the director. Keeping the safety of the actors, cast, and crew, the decision was made. They’ll resume shooting once the situation is better. While the film is insured even if there’s a monetary loss, Sabbir Khan said that it’s his job as director and part producer with Sony Pictures to take the responsibility. The film is scheduled for June 5 release.

Jersey remake starring Shahid Kapoor too has taken a hit. Shahid revealed, “At a time like this it is our social responsibility to do everything in our capacity to curb the spread of this virus. Team #Jersey is suspending shoot so as to enable all unit members to be with their families and in the safety of their homes. Be responsible. Stay safe.❤️”

Aman Gill, the producer of the film, said that the remake is already 70 percent complete. They were in Chandigarh to shoot and were looking at April end wrap up. Keeping the current scenario in mind and how the Coronavirus has spread across the globe, the decision was made to keep everyone safe. The makers will begin work as soon as the situation normalizes. Jersey is set for August 28, 2021.

Amid Coronavirus scare, Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira Rajput visit a gym despite ban from state government

Shahid Kapoor returned to Mumbai from Chandigarh this past weekend after his shoot for Jersey remake came to a halt. The actor tweeted, “At a time like this it is our social responsibility to do everything in our capacity to curb the spread of this virus. Team #Jersey is suspending shoot so as to enable all unit members to be with their families and in the safety of their homes. Be responsible. Stay safe.❤️.”

Amid Coronavirus scare, Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira Rajput visit a gym despite ban from state government

State Government, on March 13, issued orders to temporarily close down all educational institutions (including private tuitions) in urban areas, malls (all establishments within it, except for groceries and essentials), swimming pools, gyms, theatres to ensure the safety of people. But, it seems like the case is different for Shahid Kapoor. The actor and his wife Mira Rajput were seen at a suburban gym on Sunday despite the temporary ban on all the gyms in the state.

As per reports, on March 15, Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput arrived at AntiGravity gym which was exclusively opened for the two of them in the evening, while it remained shut the entire day. The actor arrived at 5:30 pm and the couple did a two-hour workout session. The actor was reportedly seen working out at the VIP section whereas Mira did her workout session in the general area. Amid the session, she would walk to his section to talk to him. The two of them left from different exit after they noticed paparazzi.

But the club owner Yudhishthir Jaising had a different tale to tell. He said the actor wasn’t at the gym to workout. He said that the actor was in Chandigarh for his Jersey shoot and wanted equipment after he sustained an injury a couple of months ago. He said that he was showing the actor how to use the equipment. The owner further said that they are friends and often train at each other’s houses.

Jaising further said that the gym has been shut completely since Friday and that no members visited the gym after they were notified about the orders issued by the government. He insisted that Shahid, Mira and he were just hanging out…as friends.

From ridicule to empathy: Shabana Azmi charts portrayal of LGBTQ community in cinema

Veteran actor Shabana Azmi is glad that the discourse around the LGBTQ community is a lot more open today, with even mainstream cinema portraying them with compassion. Azmi starred in filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s acclaimed Fire (1996), about a lonely woman in love with her sister-in-law, played by Nandita Das. The actor recalls how the trio was asked if they were lesbians at the London Film Festival because they had done Fire. “Today, it’s fine.
