Shahid, Priyanka swap their religious

Kunal Kohli thinks there's no real problem between the two Hindu and Muslim communities. In his new film Teri Meri Kahani he has played a delicious double-identity game whereby Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra switch religious identities during the course of the narration.

Explains Kohli, "There're three different pairs of characters played by Shahid and Priyanka. In two of them they play a Hindu and a Muslim character. But they swap religious identities in the two sections."

While in the first story situated in 1910 Shahid plays a Muslim lover-boy named Javed and Priyanka a Hindu girl named Aradhana, in the second story that unfolds in 1960, Shahid stars as a strugging music composer named Govind while Priyanka plays a Muslim actress named Rukshar."

In this way Kohli wants to show how the religious identity and the problems that ensure thereof are of no consequence to him as a movie maker. Argues Kohli, "Why do we consider it a problem? It is not! As an Indian and a responsible filmmaker it is my job to show that the so-called differences are all a state of the mind. That's why I made the religious identity inter-changeable in my film. The two halves, the Hindu and the Muslim are changed in the two different segments of the film. I feel cinema needs to wean society away from prejudices. And what better example of communal amity than the movie industry?"

Interestingly Kohli has named Priyanka as Radha after his daughter in the segment of his film set in 2012.

Bollywood Bit actor involved in Controversy and fraudulent claims



Toronto, Canada.  Bollywood bit actor Ali Quli Mirza, who has had a non-speaking role in the Film New York and a minor role in the film Jail has seemed to land himself in the press for the wrong reasons again.  This time in Toronto, Canada.

Seems the struggling junior artist has made a profession of making false claims regarding his career and the derailing keeps continuing.  In his most recent trip to Toronto, he once again performed the song Bore Bore, from the film Bluffmaster, which he claims is his song, a song that he has written and sung along with Arash Labaf and Vishal and Shekhar. 

This is not the first time he has made claims of this song being his.  In 2011, he made similar claims after which his North American management team was forced to shorten his trip and have him return to India.

When contacted for comment Ali Quli's management team initially had no comment as they wanted to steer clear of the artist’s claims, however after contacting them again they stated, “Mr. Mirza provided fabricated documents and stories stating this song was his, after some more thorough investigations, we discovered it was not.”.

When asked about the claims of the song Bore Bore, his performance of the song in Toronto, Canada and stating in public as the song being his,  “We were very clear with Mr. Mirza and have told him in writing, that he should not perform the song in question; that it is not his song and his claims may land him in trouble.  In fact Arash’s management and label have confirmed this and have never even heard of Ali Quli Mirza, and Vishal and Shekhar also have never stated that Ali has made this song or worked on it.” 

Ali Quli Mirza performed the song at two events over the May 4-6 2012 weekend; one performance at the Indian Cinema In Conversation that his management team was not even aware of.

“Once again, we do not know who secured him to perform at the Indian Cinema In Conversation event, and I think it unfair to tie this controversy into a good event honoring Bollywood legends.  It was Mr. Mirza and a friend of his who created this problem.” 

“Unfortunately we cannot control Mr. Mirza and his claims therefore we had distanced ourselves from him and his activities for quite some time now.” 

“In fact we did not sponsor or invite Mr. Mirza to Canada, and from what we have been told he was here on a visitors visa.”

When doing further research on Ali Quli’s antics, I was surprised to find many controversies surrounding him, everything from a kidnapping incident related to a theft in Mumbai, modeling agency fronts to recruit women, embezzlement and making false promises in order to secure funds from would-be investors. The list goes on. 

We tried to reach his parent company who he is signed to, who declined to make a comment and only stated that they too have distanced themselves from him due to personal misconduct on his part and unethical behaviour similar to this. 

Seems he leaves a trail of victims wherever he goes, where he has made false promises and drained people of their finances.  “He often uses the name of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt as his best friend and is known to use other Bollywood stars as references to further his personal gain.  If we invest in him, he can bring Salman Khan and we can work together,” stated by someone with strong ties to the Bollywood industry who also went through similar ordeals with him on his previous visit and wishes to remain anonymous, aside from her their are many more such notable Bollywood insiders in Toronto who went through this ordeal with him.

They went onto to further state that "The majority of the people affected by Ali Quli Mirza have either deleted him from Facebook, BBM and contact lists yet he keeps calling with some new sad story or lie. How many more people does he have to cheat or steal from before the industry spits him back out?”

It appears Ali Quli Mirza is desperate for fame, seems he found it may not be quite what he had in mind.

Mamata to SRK's rescue, asks MCA to reconsider decision


The Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA's) five-year ban on Bollywood actor and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) co-owner Shah Rukh Khan took a political turn on Friday with the West Bengal government coming out in full support of the star against the cricket body's decision. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said Khan was the brand ambassador of her state and she appealed to the MCA to reconsider its decision. Referring to the Wankhede incident of Wednesday night, she said such incidents happen because of children. The MCA headed by Congress leader and Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh had on Friday morning decided to impose the five-year ban on SRK for his alleged misbehaviour with its officials. Prior to Banerjee, her Sports Minister Madan Mitra said Shah Rukh was the "nicest person" and "if a father watches his daughter being misbehaved in front of his eyes, he is sure to react". Mitra asked Shah Rukh not to worry about the Wankhede ban adding "he is more than welcome in Eden Gardens and will get an ovation". In fact, reacting to the ban, Mitra said, "Goondas belonging to a political party had vandalised Wankhede... Was their leader banned from Wankhede?"

THIRD STORY: SRK banned from Wankhede for five years

Shah Rukh Khan seems to be in the eye of the storm right now with his recent fracas at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai post the IPL match between the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders. Now we hear that the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) which had stated that they would take a decision to penalize the actor has reached a verdict.

In fact the MCA which had lodged a police complaint against Khan on Thursday, have since decided to ban the actor from the stadium. In a unanimous decision reached by the MCA, the Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, Shah Rukh Khan has been banned for a period of five years from entering the Wankhede Stadium. However, this is a cut down from the earlier proposal of a life-time ban.
