Excited about shooting with the star cast, Nidhi also stated that they may kick start the shooting with a wedding sequence. Earlier, we had reported that the stupendous success of Grand Masti (first sex comedy to enter the Rs. 100 crore club) is what instigated the idea of making a triquel. During one of his interactions, Ashok Thakeria had also mentioned that the third installment will be far raunchier, sexier and have in-the-face humour.

Remember the time when Anurag Kashyap had said, 'I won't watch Grand Masti even if I get Rs. 5 crores' about two months ago? Now it seems that writer Milap Zaveri (who had co-written Masti and Grand Masti) has decided to get even once again with Anurag Kashyap. For the ones who aren't aware, during the release of his production Hunterrr, Anurag Kashyap passed comments on sex comedies, especially Grand Masti, which was a record-breaking success in Bollywood. Not the one to take it kindly, Milap then blasted at Anurag by tweeting, "Anurag says he isn't frustrated to see #GrandMasti Correct. He makes #Girlintheyellowboots where a father gets handjobs from his daughter." Though later, the writer decided to cool off and did wish well for Kashyap's then upcoming film Hunterrr, now it seems that Milap has yet again revived the argument.

Earlier we had reported that Riteish Deshmukh had opted out of the third installment in the Masti series, only to return back to the film. While the rest of the cast of the film titled Great Grand Masti, namely Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasini remain the same; the lead actresses paired alongside them was unknown. Now we hear that the Jannat girl Sonal Chauhan who was last seen in the less than memorable film 3G, alongside Neil Nitin Mukesh has been roped in to essay the lead role. When contacted Sonal refrained to comment on the same saying, "I cannot talk about this right now."

Further we hear that the Adhikari brothers, Makrand Adhikari and Gautam Adhikari who...

News was abuzz last week that Sunny Leone was cast opposite the male leads of the third sequel of director Indra Kumar’s Grand Masti 3. Producer Ashok Thakeria clarifies, “We completely deny approaching or even speaking to Sunny Leone for Grand Masti 3. The news of us approaching her is absolutely incorrect and baseless. We will be making an official announcement of the cast as and when it gets finalized.”
Masti released in 2004 after which Grand Masti the sequel released after 9 years of gap. “Yes, the magnitude of success of Grand Masti has taken us all aback. Even on Monday the shows are going full everywhere. God has been kind. We are definitely going into Masti 3 right away. The first sequel took us 9 years to make. The second sequel will come in much less time, I promise you that,” says Ashok Thakeria.

The sex comedy Hunterrr which is scheduled to open this week has been asked by the Cbfc to clean up its language. Some of the shocking scandalous content in the trailer would also have to go in the film. Says a source from the Cbfc, "The trailer had been passed by the previous Cbfc team and it contained a lot of objectionable language. There is nothing we could do about it. However the language censored in the film was done according to suitability of the theme. We were aware that Hunterrr was a sex comedy. We went along with the risque dialogues as much as we could." However, the Cbfc suggested instead of beeps, the objectionable portions of the dialogues be re-recorded to avoid jerks in the soundtrack. Says a source from the production house Phantom (who emerged triumphant last week with NH10), "We were asked to make changes in the dialogue,...

A recent interview given by Anurag Kashyap on Bollywood Hungama created sensational news after Kashyap claimed that he would never watch a film like Masti and Grand Masti owing to its content. This obviously angered Milap Zaveri, the writer of those films, who took to Twitter to express his disappointment over the statement. The interview had Anurag Kashyap saying, "I won't watch Masti and Masti 2. Mein cable pe nahi dekhonga, free mein nahi dekhonga, paanch crore diya toh bhi nahi dekhonga." Miffed with the statement given by Anurag Kashyap, Milap spoke to Bollywood Hungama on the matter saying, "I have no issue with Anurag not liking the film (Grand Masti) which I have been a part of. If a gentleman like Mr. Sooraj Barjatya who doesn't make sex comedies says that he doesn't like these kind of films and doesn't want to watch it, I would not have an issue.

Riteish Deshmukh, who has been enjoying fatherhood after the birth of his son in December, suddenly seems to have had a change of heart. The actor had earlier claimed that he won't be doing any sex comedies but now we hear that he will be seen playing one of the leads in Masti 3. While the first installment of this series, Masti had been a sleeper hit, Grand Masti became the first sex comedy to enter the 100 crore club in Bollywood. Since the record breaking success of the sequel, the makers have been toying with the idea of a third installment. However, then, Riteish Deshmukh had stated that he is done with sex comedies since there is nothing new that he can offer in this genre. But now, it seems that the script of Masti 3 has left such an impact on his mind that the actor agreed to do the film.

As it happens in the weeks surrounding biggies, there are no major films that arrive due to unavailability of screens as well as the fact that it is tough to catch audience’s attention. It is a repeat of the same story this week, what with Super Nani looking at making an impression this week. The film is Rekha’s comeback affair but surprisingly, the lady hasn’t really made much noise about it so far. The first promo met with an ordinary response and the promotion since then has been low key too. This is surprising since the man calling the shots is Indra Kumar whose last release Grand Masti was a 100 crore success. The film has been delayed by quite a while and though the basic premise is quite interesting (the original play on which it is based was a big hit too), the publicity has been barely just okay.

But I always said no, because I felt it wasn't my scene. Every contestant in there is expected to put on a mask. I can't do it." Curiously, Karishma goes into Bigg Boss at a time when her movie career is taking off. Says the spirited actress, "Yes, it's true after Grand Masti I've just completed Tina & Lolo. And I've another film with Viacom 18. But this is the right time for me to do Bigg Boss. Because it gives me visibility. Also, since my third film is with Viacom (the parent company for the channel Colors) my publicity dates for the film will be coordinated so as to not clash with my innings in Bigg Boss."

Titled Mastizaade, now it has been revealed that Tusshar Kapoor too will play a prominent role in the film. While it was a known fact that Sunny bagged the role since she is undoubtedly the ultimate sex symbol in Bollywood, Tusshar got the role owing to his good comic timing.

Ek Villain is a tale of love and loss. Umm…… no! It is a thriller about a murderous psycopath. No, strike that. It is a revenge drama with loads of action thrown in. Confused? So it seems were director Mohit Suri and his team of writers. They created some interesting characters but then couldn’t figure out what to do with them.
A cold blooded murderer Guru (Sidharth Malhotra) falls in love with Aisha (Shraddha Kapoor) and decides to change his ways. Their lovingly created paradise is shattered when Aisha is brutally murdered for no apparent reason (this is not a spoiler). The murderer could be a timid middle-class man Rakesh (Riteish Deshmukh) who may also just be your friendly neighbourhood psychopath.
Aisha is murdered a few minutes into the film. The curiosity is aroused. And then the film goes into a cutesy flashback of how the lovers met and fell in love.

With a good streak of comic successes behind him, Sajid Khan is now all set to ensure a good start for ‘Humshakals’. The film’s target audience is the one which lapped up ‘Housefull’ and ‘Housefull 2′, both hit films, with the latter even entering the 100 crore club. If the promos of ‘Humshakals’ are any indication, it is out and out comic element which is the strength of the film with the Usp being its three leads in a triple role. With the film being a star driven affair, it can well expect a good opening for itself with audience at multiplexes as well as single screens going for it.
Moreover, the film is a solo release and with no competition from past or present, the road is clear for this Vashu Bhagnani and Fox production to earn some good moolah. Since the film is all set for a very wide release,...
