Bachchan Pandey vs Lal Singh Chaddha: Here’s what Akshay Kumar has to say about clashing with Aamir Khan

Christmas 2020 is already quite packed. There are three films slated to hit the screens on that day, Akshay Kumar starrer Bachchan Pandey, Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Chaddha and Luv Ranjan’s next starring Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor. All three films feature superstars and they all have a huge fan following. Surely, it will be difficult for the moviegoers to decide which film to watch first.

Well, recently, while talking to a tabloid, Akshay Kumar opened up about clashing with Aamir Khan. He stated, “We have 52 Fridays in a year and even fewer holiday weekends. We make over 200 Hindi films a year while Hollywood releases 40 more and then there’s the South industry and other regional cinema. So, we should be happy if we have two big releases in a week. This year, on the Independence Day weekend we had three, (Mission Mangal, Batla House, and Saaho) till one bowed out.”


Box office clashes are nothing new for Akshay Kumar. Last year, his movie Gold clashed with John Abraham starrer Satyameva Jayate. This year, Mission Mangal will clash with Batla House on Independence Day and on Diwali this year, it will be Akshay’s Housefull 4 vs Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Saand Ki Aankh.

Earlier while talking about clashing with Aamir, Ajay Devgn had said, “We don’t know what is happening about the clash, that Luv will decide. I heard the same day Avatar is releasing in that case we both will have to run away. Avatar is big.”

Well, Avatar 2 is slated to release on 18th December 2020, a week before these three biggies hit the screens. By the way, it is said that Krrish 4 might also hit the screens on Christmas 2020. Well, looks like Christmas 2020 is becoming a favourite date for filmmakers.

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with S S Rajamouli film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, alongside Mahesh Babu, following the monumental success of RRR. Rajamouli’s next project, with a budget exceeding Rs. 1000 crore, is expected to be a massive cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting the fresh pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

While excitement builds around the film's grand scale, another major talking point is Priyanka Chopra's reported remuneration for the project. The actress, known for her global appeal, is said to be charging a hefty Rs. 30 crore for SSMB29, making her the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry. This has reportedly pushed Deepika Padukone, who was previously the highest-paid with a salary of Rs. 15 to 20 crore per film, into second place. Priyanka’s fee has surpassed Deepika’s by a significant margin.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
