To celebrate the spirit of freedom and patriotism this Independence Day, Colors Cineplex is thrilled to announce the World Television Premiere of Siddharth Malhotra’s starrer Yodha on August 11 at 8 PM.

To further commemorate this occasion, Colors Cineplex is delighted to host Harmanpreet Kaur, Captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket team and the only Indian woman cricketer to score over 3,000 runs in both ODIs and T20Is. In the 2017 Women’s World Cup, she scored an astonishing 171 (not out) in the semi-final against Australia, setting the highest individual score by an Indian woman in the World Cup and the highest individual score of all-time in the Women’s World Cup. We will also have Col. Rajeev Bharwan of the Indian Army—who has always put his country first, demonstrating unparalleled dedication while commanding the elite Infantry/Strategic Specialized Airborne Regiment. Additionally, Afroz Shah, an environmental activist, and lawyer, has been named the winner of the top environment honor by the United Nations and lauded by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi for his cleanliness work at the Versova beach in Mumbai, to participate. Shah is best known for organizing the world’s largest beach clean-up project, which has grown into a movement that has inspired people around the world to clean up their surroundings. Their presence embodies the spirit of heroism celebrated by the ‘Asli Yodha’.

Rohan Lavsi, Head of the Hindi Movies cluster at Viacom18, said, “At Colors Cineplex, we are deeply honored to celebrate the ‘Asli Yodha’, praising the bravery and dedication of our nation’s true heroes.

Our commitment is to showcase inspiring stories that resonate with the values of courage and sacrifice. Through ‘Asli Yodha,’ we honour those who elevate India globally and remind us of the profound effect of selfless service.”

An ‘Asli Yodha’ signifies exceptional dedication and sacrifice. These individuals, whether in defense, sports, or environmental activism, embody the strength and spirit of India, prioritizing their country above personal comforts and often risking their lives for the greater good.

Harmanpreet Kaur, Captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket team, said, “It is an honor to be recognized as an ‘Asli Yodha’ by Colors Cineplex. Cricket has always been more than a game for me—it’s a way to serve my country and make my fellow Indians proud. I share this recognition with every girl who dreams of wearing the Indian jersey.”

Col Rajeev Bharwan, Indian Army Veteran, says, “Being called an ‘Asli Yodha’ is a profound honor. Every soldier in the Indian Army serves with the sole aim of protecting our motherland and ensuring its safety. This recognition is not just mine but belongs to every brave soldier who stands guard at our borders.”

Afroz Shah, environmental activist and lawyer, best known for organizing the world’s largest beach clean-up project, said, “Being part of the ‘Asli Yodha’ campaign is a great privilege. Just as our beach clean-ups aim to restore and protect the environment, this campaign celebrates those who have dedicated their lives to serving and uplifting our nation.

Taapsee Pannu hints at third installment after Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba release: “Looking forward to what all we can possibly do in the next part”

Taapsee Pannu has returned with the anticipated sequel Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba. The actress, known for her bold choices and powerful performances, has once again delivered a tour-de-force with her portrayal of Rani.

Reflecting on the relations from audience, Taapsee shared, “Doing a sequel is always tricky because the first one comes with no expectations, and if people like it, it becomes a hit. But with sequels come expectations, which are always tricky to meet. I am glad people have loved Rani and the film more than part 1. I knew how much people loved Rani from Part 1 So I kept those expectations in mind when I approached the next part.”

She also hints at the possibility of a third installment. “This response has been so validating that I’m already looking forward to what all we can possibly do in the next part,” she said.

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is the second of Taapsee’s two major releases this August. The film, directed by Jayprad Desai and written by Kanika Dhillon, also stars Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal.

EXCLUSIVE: Narendra Hirawat breaks silence on Tirangaa remake reports: “We are indeed producing a film with Akshay Kumar but it is not a remake of any film”

A few days back, Bollywood Hungama reported that Akshay Kumar has signed the remake of the Nana Patekar-Raaj Kumar starrer Tirangaa (1993). The report further stated that producer Narendra Hirawat of NH Studioz will be producing the film. We had called and messaged him to get his version at that time but he was unavailable for comment. Narendra Hirawat has now exclusively shared his statement with Bollywood Hungama on this news report.

The veteran producer has stated in the report that while he has indeed signed Akshay Kumar, the film is not a remake of Tirangaa or any other film and that it has an original script. The statement reads, “In the last few days, there have been a few media reports stating that we are producing a remake of the film Tirangaa with Shri Akshay Kumar in the lead. We would like to hereby affirm that this news is completely baseless and untrue. Yes, we are indeed producing a film with Shri Akshay Kumar in the lead but we would like to categorically state that it is NOT a remake of any film. It is a completely new and original script. An official announcement regarding the same will be made soon.”

Narendra Hirawat’s recent release was Neeraj Pandey’s love saga Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee M Manjrekar. Akshay Kumar, meanwhile, was last seen in the inspiring biopic Sarfira. His next release, Khel Khel Mein, would arrive in cinemas on Thursday, August 15.

Akshay Kumar has an exciting line-up of films after Khel Khel Mein as well. These include the aerial action thriller Sky Force on October 2 and the much-awaited Singham Again on Diwali. This would be followed by the period courtroom drama Sankara, the hilarious legal flick Jolly LLB 3 co-starring Arshad Warsi, the big-scale comic capers Welcome To The Jungle and Housefull 5, the Pan-India film Kannappa and Narendra Hirawat’s next.
