Ram Gopal Varma calls for Salman Khan to issue “super counter threat” to Lawrence Bishnoi: “It will look like a COWARDICE of the TIGER STAR”

10 months ago0

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has been vocal on social media regarding the ongoing tension between Bollywood star Salman Khan and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Following the tragic murder of politician Baba Siddique, Varma has weighed in on the public rivalry between Khan and Bishnoi, sharing his controversial thoughts on the matter.

Ram Gopal Varma’s Bold Remarks on Salman Khan’s Response
Taking to his X account (formerly Twitter), Ram Gopal Varma shared a series of posts addressing Salman Khan directly. In a tweet that sparked widespread attention, Varma suggested that Salman Khan should take a bold stand against Lawrence Bishnoi, the gangster who has openly threatened him in the past.

“I wish @BeingSalmanKhan will give a SUPER COUNTER THREAT to B or otherwise, it will look like a COWARDICE of the TIGER STAR. S K owes it to his fans to rise up as the BIGGER SUPER HERO in comparison to B,” Varma posted, referring to Khan’s on-screen persona as the “Tiger Star.”

Lawrence Bishnoi’s Growing Infamy
Varma’s tweets came in the wake of the murder of politician Baba Siddique, for which Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility. Bishnoi’s involvement in the crime has only fueled the public curiosity about the gangster, especially given his longstanding feud with Salman Khan. The feud traces back to the late 1990s, when Khan was embroiled in the blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan. Since then, Bishnoi, whose community considers blackbucks sacred, has issued several threats to the actor.

In another tweet, Ram Gopal Varma highlighted Bishnoi’s current notoriety by pointing out the engagement his posts were receiving. “I have 6.2 MILLION FOLLOWERS and this tweet got 6.2 MILLION VIEWS… This is a TESTIMONY of LAWRENCE BISHNOI’s CURRENT POPULARITY,” he remarked, emphasizing the gangster’s growing interest in the public eye.

RGV’s Comments on Bishnoi’s Appearance
In a surprising twist, Varma even commented on Lawrence Bishnoi’s appearance, drawing comparisons to infamous gangsters from the past. Sharing a picture of Bishnoi, he tweeted, “If a film is based on the BIGGEST GANGSTER, no filmmaker will cast a guy who looks like DAWOOD IBRAHIM or CHOTA RAJAN… But here, I don’t know a single FILM STAR who is more GOOD LOOKING than B.”

The Bishnoi-Khan Feud: A Decades-Old Rivalry

The feud between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi stretches back to the blackbuck poaching case that deeply angered the Bishnoi community. Though Salman Khan served jail time for the incident, the tension between him and Bishnoi has remained ever since, with Bishnoi repeatedly issuing threats to the actor.

The recent murder of Baba Siddique, reportedly orchestrated by Bishnoi, has only heightened the stakes. Siddique was a close family friend of Salman Khan, and his untimely death has left the actor visibly shaken.

Emergency makers contemplate on releasing the film in Punjab after elections: Report

10 months ago0

Political drama Emergency that introduces the current generation to the historical happenings of 1970s has been mired in controversy ever since the makers unveiled the release date in September. While the film’s release has been on hold since last month, there has been no update on the same until recently. On Wednesday, an India Today report has suggested that the makers are contemplating the release of the film after the Punjab elections.

Readers would recall that Emergency aims at showcasing the aftermath of the political emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi in the 70s which had heavily impacted the state of Punjab. Considering the same, many Sikhs have taken an objection to the release of the film. However, sources in the recent report have stated that the makers are keen on releasing the film once the volatile situation of election process is completed. CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) too has reportedly greenlit its release with a few cuts.

A source confirmed these details in this report and said, “After agreeing to all the terms of CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification), the team will most likely release the film after the Punjab elections. The film is really close to everyone’s heart and the audience should get to watch the film. So, after much consideration and not to hurt anyone’s sentiments, the whole team decided that once the elections are over, they will decide on a suitable day and release the film. Releasing the film during a calmer time seems the best decision for now.”

Speaking about the film, directed by Kangana Ranaut, it also stars her in the role of the protagonist – former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. Also featuring Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Vishak Nair in key roles, the film was initially scheduled to release on September 7.

Tiger Baby and Emaho Films partner with Oscar-Winning studio for Taira Malaney’s documentary Turtle Walker

10 months ago0

Tiger Baby and Emaho Films in collaboration with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios announced today the world premiere of their latest film, Turtle Walker, at Doc NYC, 2024 on Sunday, November 17. Turtle Walker, the directorial debut of Taira Malaney, tells the story of an Indian pioneer in the field of sea turtle conservation, Satish Bhaskar, who dedicated his life to the protection of these beautiful but endangered animals.

In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India’s spectacular coastlines, living alongside rare sea turtles to unravel the mysteries that surround them – and set out to save the enigmatic sea creatures from extinction.

This film, which started as a small independent crew from Goa, India, has over the last 7 years emerged into an international co-production, with award-winning partners and collaborators from across the world. Submarine Deluxe has taken the sales rights of the film.

Director Taira Malaney received many accolades for Turtle Walker including the “Best Natural History and Wildlife Pitch” at Sunny Side of the Doc, 2019; the “Emerging Filmmaker Award (India)” and the “Griffith Film School residency Award (Australia)” at DocEdge Kolkata, 2018. In addition, in 2024, Taira accepted the Grand Teton Award, which is the highest honor presented at the Jackson Wild Media Awards.

“Satish Bhaskar shared a deep wonder for the marine world”, said Emaho Films founder, Taira Malaney. “As human beings we all have this innate curiosity to explore. It is what leads us to inquire, to learn, to experience a sense of awe, and eventually feel empathy for the living world around us. By presenting Satish’s story on a global stage, we aim to inspire meaningful dialogue about our shared oceans, mobilizing audiences to participate in its exploration and conservation.”

“At Tiger Baby we are interested in stories that move us. Turtle Walker, directed by Taira Malaney is about the incredible Satish Bhaskar, who walked nearly every inch of India’s coastline to discover the nesting beaches of sea turtles so that they could be protected. His indomitable spirit saved the enigmatic creatures from extinction and reminds us how precious our planet is”, says Zoya Akhtar

“This project aligns with our dream to bring inspiring, untold stories from India to a global stage. We are thrilled to announce that the film will premiere at DOC NYC in collaboration with HHMI Tangled Bank, Ceres, and Emaho,” adds Reema Kagti.

“We are thrilled to introduce Taira and her beautiful film to the documentary community at DOC NYC with our partners Submarine,” said Head of HHMI Tangled Bank Studios Jared Lipworth. “We can’t wait for audiences around the world to be captivated by the stunning cinematography and the moving story of the incredible impact a single person can have on the world.”

Turtle Walker is written and directed by Taira Malaney. Produced by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, Angad Dev Singh, Vikram Malaney and Taira Malaney. Krish Makhija is the associate director and head of cinematography. The film is co-written and edited by Sam Rogers, and executive produced by Isabelle Couture, James Reed, Jared Lipworth, Sean B. Carroll, and Nikita Mamik.
