Fresh off his performance in the sports biopic Maidaan, Ajay Devgn is gearing up for another film on the world of athletics. This time, he’ll be portraying Palwankar Baloo, the pioneering cricketer credited as India’s first Dalit player. The news was revealed by film producer Priti Sinha on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on May 29, 2023.

Sinha’s announcement indicated a collaborative effort between herself, Devgn, and director Tigmanshu Dhulia. “We are producing Baloo Palwankar’s story based on @Ram_Guha sir’s book ‘A Corner Of A Foreign Field,’” she wrote, expressing their intent to bring this cricketer’s tale to the big screen.

We, @ajaydevgn @dirtigmanshu @pritisinha333 are producing Baloo Palwankar’s story based on @Ram_Guha sir’s book “A Corner Of A Foreign Field”. We will bring the story of this great cricketer on film soon @ABsay_ek https://t.co/u9xQxTWB7P

Filming is expected to commence by the end of 2023. The project reportedly draws inspiration from historian Ramchandra Guha’s book, which delves into the life and struggles of Palwankar Baloo. Born into the Dalit community, Baloo’s journey began humbly as a groundskeeper at a Pune cricket club. However, his talent and dedication shone through, leading to his selection for the Hindu Gymkhana in 1896. Guha’s book presumably explores the challenges Baloo faced throughout his career due to caste discrimination.

Ajay Devgn’s upcoming slate also boasts Neeraj Pandey’s Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha starring Tabu. He also has Rohit Shetty’s action extravaganza Singham Again.

Pratik Gandhi, who has a release today Dedh Bigha Zameen—his third release this year— has realized playing Mahatma Gandhi is not easy, even if you are Gandhi yourself. So Pratik discovered last night when he suffered an injury while shooting for Applause Entertainment’s Gandhi, directed by Hansal Mehta, which could have been worse.

When I touched base with Pratik and he said, “Yes, I’m better now. A ceramic pot fell on me while rehearsing for a next scene to shoot. And I got a deep cut on my right-hand knuckle. I got stitches done last night.”

When asked if it is painful, Pratik replied, “It is a bit painful. But it should be better in a few days, hopefully.”

Speaking of his infinitely rewarding association with Applause Entertainment Pratik said, “Scam 1992 was surely a turning point in my career. I try to convert high expectations into excitement and inspiration for myself rather than pressure. Scam changed my life!”

Pratik sees Applause Entertainment’ s Scam, Do Aur Do Pyaar and Gandhi as the turning points in his career. “Gandhi is the biggest project of my career till now and Do Aur Do Pyaar is my first rom com in mainstream. All of them hold a special place in my heart. I am always excited to partner with a visionary like Sameer Nair and his efficient team at Applause Entertainment,” he said.

Kenya-based businessman Nikhil Patel has finally addressed the swirling allegations of an extra-marital affair and rumors surrounding his separation from actress Dalljiet Kaur. In an exclusive interview with ETimes TV, Nikhil provided a detailed account of their relationship’s challenges and eventual separation.

Recently, Dalljiet Kaur shared cryptic stories on social media, hinting at infidelity. This added fuel to the speculation about Nikhil’s extra-marital affair. However, he clarified that their separation was rooted in deeper issues related to their blended family and cultural differences.

“In January this year, Dalljiet decided to leave Kenya with her son Jaydon and return to India, which ultimately led to our separation. We separated in January this year,” Patel explained. “We both realized that the foundation of our blended family wasn’t as strong as we had hoped, making it hard for Dalljiet to settle in Kenya.” 

Patel highlighted that the couple faced significant challenges due to cultural clashes and differing values. Despite their efforts to integrate, including a culturally significant Indian wedding ceremony in Mumbai in March 2023, these differences proved insurmountable.

“The ceremony was intended to reassure Dalljiet’s family about her move to Kenya. Despite our efforts, Dalljiet found it challenging to adjust to life in Kenya, missing her career and life in India,” Patel shared. He also explained the irreplaceable role of his daughters’ mother, indicating the complexity of their family dynamics.

Nikhil Patel recounted that Dalljiet had informed him and others that she did not plan to return to Kenya except to collect her remaining belongings, which he has kept safe. “Her departure marked the end of our relationship for me, and despite her concerning social media activity over the past five months, I have found closure and solace, moving forward positively,” he stated.

Patel expressed his distress over Dalljiet’s recent social media activity, which he claimed caused confusion and unnecessary harassment of his family and friends. “She has expressed a desire to return to my life and has crossed boundaries. Her posts have been misinterpreted, resulting in unnecessary harassment,” he said.

“I have always believed in addressing misunderstandings with clarity and respect. It is important to set the record straight, not just for myself, but for everyone involved. I sincerely wish Dalljiet all the best and hope we can all move forward positively,” Patel concluded.

Before her relationship with Nikhil Patel, Dalljiet Kaur was married to actor Shalin Bhanot. The couple parted ways in 2016 and currently co-parent their son Jaydon. Nikhil Patel also has two daughters from a previous marriage.

Actor and Member of Parliament Sunny Deol has found himself entangled in a series of serious allegations. Film producer Sorav Gupta, of Sundawn Entertainment Pvt Ltd, has accused Deol of cheating, extortion, and forgery, claiming that the actor allegedly took advance payments for a film that never materialized.

At a press conference earlier this week, Sorav Gupta, a real estate developer turned film producer, alleged that Sunny Deol took Rs 1 crore in advance for a film project in 2016, with a total fee agreed at Rs 4 crores. Gupta alleged that despite repeated promises, Deol failed to commence the project, opting instead to shoot for another film, Poster Boys (2017). Over time, Gupta claimed that he continued to make payments to Deol, totaling Rs 2.55 crores.

“We gave him Rs 1 crore in advance but instead of starting my film, he opted to shoot for Poster Boys (2017) instead. He kept asking me for more money and by now my Rs 2.55 crores is in Sunny ji’s account. He also made me give money to another director, book Filmistan studio, and get an executive producer,” Gupta told Hindustan Times.

The accusations took a more serious turn when Gupta alleged that Sunny Deol forged an agreement with his company in 2023. “When we read the agreement, humne dekha ki unhonein toh panna hi change kar diya beech wala, jahan par fees ka amount Rs 4 crores ko badha kar Rs 8 crores kar diya aur profit to Rs 2 crores kar diya,” he shared.

Meanwhile, filmmaker Suneel Darshan, known for popular films such as Janwar (1999) and Andaaz (2003), supported Gupta’s claims at the same press conference. Darshan alleged that he too had experienced similar issues with Sunny Deol.

“Sunny Deol acquired rights from my movie Ajay (1996) for overseas distribution and only made a partial payment. The balance payment never came through,” said Darshan. He further added, “Later, Sunny requested me to work on a project with him, saying, ‘Have faith in me, help me out’, and got me to pay him again.”

An industry source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, supported the allegations against Deol, claiming that the actor has a history of dishonouring commitments with several producers. “He has been a known troublemaker for years. Sunny had given a bound script of a film called Ram Janmbhumi to a producer who created a huge set in Mumbai. Sunny signed the film for Rs 5 crores. But later, he refused to come to the sets and demanded a fee of Rs 25 crores because he had delivered a blockbuster (Gadar 2),” the source told the publication.

In response to these allegations, Sorav Gupta has filed a police complaint against Sunny Deol. “The police issued [Deol] a notice on April 30. His office sent a letter saying he was out of town on the day he was to present himself,” Gupta disclosed.

Sunny Deol is yet to react to the claims.
