‘The eyes they see blurred images,’ writes Amitabh Bachchan as he worries about going blind

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan keeps his fans updated about his day-to-day activities and his health through his blog. A few months ago, the actor had written about his health issues and his doctor asking him to take rest. However, the 77-year-old actor refuses to slow down. He currently has four films in his kitty – Chehre, Gulabo Sitabo, Jhund and Brahmastra.

‘The eyes they see blurred images,’ writes Amitabh Bachchan as he worries about going blind

Amitabh Bachchan, in his recent blog update, expressed his worry over losing his vision. He wrote, “The eyes they see blurred images .. the vision reads double and for some days now I reconciled myself to the fact that blindness is on its way, to add to the million other medical problems that invest in me….”

Remembering his mother Teji Bachchan and how she used to comfort his eyes, Amitabh wrote, “But then…today…thought of those early years when Ma used to take the edge of the sari, the ‘pallu’, make a soft round ball with it, blow into it to make it warm and place it on the eye .. and BAM! problem solved…

The actor also wrote that his doctor reassured that he is not going blind but it is a strain in the eye because of having spent too much time in front of the computer screen. “So followed that .. hot watered a hand towel and placed it on the eyes .. spoke to the doc and followed his instruction of putting in prescribed eye drops every hour .. reassured me that I was not going blind – that there was far too much time being spent in front of the computer .. the eyes were tired .. that’s all…(sic),” Big B further wrote.

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is currently in self-quarantine with his family in Mumbai. The actor will next be seen in the film Gulabo Sitabo which was initially scheduled to release in April. However, because of the coronavirus pandemic, the release date will be pushed.

EXCLUSIVE: Super 30 to release in China after return of normalcy

One of the biggest hit films of 2019 was Super 30 and was a success story in itself. It starred Hrithik Roshan and was based on the life of Patna mathematician Anand Kumar. There was some negativity surrounding the film over Hrithik’s casting. But the film opened very well and enjoyed a tremendous word of mouth. It ended up earning a huge Rs. 146.94 crore at the domestic box office, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise for the trade and industry.

EXCLUSIVE: Super 30 to release in China after return of normalcy

Over the years, China has emerged as a lucrative market where several Bollywood films like Dangal, Secret Superstar, Hichki etc. have done record-breaking business. A film like Super 30, given its theme is ideal for the release in the neighbouring country, considering the tastes of the moviegoers there. There was no update in this regard however. Meanwhile, all releases too were halted in China, just like everywhere else, due to the Coronavirus scare. But it has been limping back to normalcy and there are reports that cinema halls too will be gradually opening up across the country.

Yesterday, at a webinar comprising of some important personalities in the field of production and exhibition, Reliance Entertainment Group CEO Shibasish Sarkar unveiled that Super 30’s China release is on the anvil. Later, he exclusively told Bollywood Hungama, “Super 30 was applied for censorship in China. As and when the country and the industry open up, it will first get censored. And then it’ll get a release in the country.”

A trade source, on this development, says, “The people of China love such human underdog stories with the backdrop of education. Some of our Indian films like 3 Idiots, Hichki, and Hindi Medium etc. worked big time there with the audiences. Super 30, hence, is an ideal film for its audiences. In fact, if things go well, it can be one of the first big hits in the Chinese market post lockdown.”

Interestingly, Hrithik Roshan had travelled to China in June last year to promote his 2017 thriller Kaabil. At that time, Super 30 was a month away from release and he had told the Chinese media, “Super 30 is something that talks about the power and the value of education and teachers. And, I think that is another place where I think there is a similarity between China and India as both these countries give a lot of respect to teachers. The teachers form the top of the societal chain in both these worlds.”

For unversed, spoilers ahead, Black Widow and Hawkeye secured the Soul Stone in Avengers: Endgame and for that, she had to sacrifice her life.

The alternate version has surfaced online Natasha Romanoff suffers brutal wounds from Sakaaraan ships that were sent by Thanos to attack her. In the alternate scene, Thanos also makes a brief appearance which is quite different from the theatrical release. Natasha takes the heroic leap from Vormir.

Gal Gadot on the impact of Wonder Woman – "It completely changed my life”

Back in 2017, Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins came together to release the much-awaited, Wonder Woman. After years of waiting for the female superhero movie, the went onto become a blockbuster. After starring Fast & Furious movies, Gal admits that it was Wonder Woman that completely changed her life.

“It completely changed my life,” said Gal Gadot in the May 2020 issue of Vogue magazine. “Somehow it came out at a point in time where people were really craving it. It made an impact. And Patty and I were very lucky, I would say, that the movie was received the way it was and that it came out in the era it did, and I think we just, without even knowing consciously, ticked a lot of the right boxes. Because it was in our DNA—we didn’t have to think about it too much. We were two women who cared about something, and that wound up in the DNA of the movie.”

Patty Jenkins, who helmed the record-breaking film, also added, “I miss great, grand, blockbuster films that have all of the things that you go to the movie theaters for. Like humor and drama and romance . . . but also weight and significance of narrative. So it’s that. I was aiming to make something big and grand but very detailed and thorough. But I also think Wonder Woman stands for something pretty incredible in the world, so I won’t say anything about the plot, but she is a god who believes in the betterment of mankind. She’s not just defeating bad guys—and that has a lot of resonance with the times we’re living in right now.”

Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in the leading roles, was postponed in March until August 2020 in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic that has spread around the world. On March 24, the studio announced that the sequel to the hit 2017 DC Comics movie will be postponed until August 14, 2020. The movie was originally scheduled to come out on June 5.
