Bollywood Superstar Aamir Khan’s comments about growing intolerance in the country a month ago drew flak from the public. People have even launched an attack on Snapdeal for which Aamir Khan is the Brand Ambassador. Aamir Khan finally came up with an explanation over the controversy.

“I never said India is intolerant, nor did I say I want to leave the country. I was misunderstood,” Aamir Khan clarified the other day at an event to mark the 10th anniversary of Rang De Basanti. He further added that he is born here and will die here.

Here we are presenting what exactly Aamir Khan said on that day about intolerance – “When I chat with Kiran at home, she says ‘Should we move out of India?’ That’s a disastrous and big statement for Kiran to make. She fears for her child. She fears about what the atmosphere around us will be. She feels scared to open the newspapers every day”.

Sekhar Kammula is all set to foray in to Bollywood and he will be remaking his blockbuster film, Happy Days there. The project is in pipeline for ages and is finally going on floors. Sekhar Kammula is busy finalizing the cast of the film and scouting for new faces in some colleges of Pune.

The film will start rolling from March. Salman Khan will be producing this remake project. Once Sekhar Kammula completes the project, he will move on to Leader-2 starring Rana Daggubati.

Sekhar Kammula is not in the best of forms in recent times. After Happy Days, except for Leader which is an average result, all his films failed to make an impression on the audience.

Director Krish is teaming up once again with his Kanche pair – Varun Tej and Pragya Jaiswal for a new project titled Rayabhari. The ace director is currently in Georgia scouting for locations of this film.

A major portion of Kanche was also shot there and a good portion of Rayabhari will also be canned that country. Rayabhari will go on floors very soon after Krish returns to India.

Varun Tej’s last film, Loafer is a big dud at the box office. So Varun is banking on this Rayabhari to make it big at the box office. Besides Rayabhari, he has two more films – one with a new comer, Venky Atluri and the other with Gopichand Malineni.

Nara Rohit’s Savitri has completed its shooting part and is currently in post production phase. The movie touted to be a cute and family entertainer is now being planned for March 25th release.

Nara Rohit will be seen in a six pack look in this film which has talented director Pavan Sadineni will be wielding the mega phone. The film which is produced by B Rajendra Prasad and Shravan scores the music. There is a good history behind the title ‘Savitri’.

There was a project of Victory Venkatesh and Director Teja few years ago. The project was in news for few years but never really materialized. Recently Ram Gopal Varma started a film titled ‘Savitri’ in which a kid fancies his teacher. After protests against the title, the film title was changed to Sridevi.

Government of India had announced the prestigious Padma Awards the other day. Tollywood’s most happening director, SS Rajamouli is conferred the Padma Sri award. However Rajamouli said he feels like he do not deserve the award. “I dont know what to say. It is quite a mixed feeling. Very frankly I don’t feel I deserve the honour.

This is not humility. I am quite aware of my achievements. But I haven’t created any artistic brilliance that deserves this honour,” Rajamouli posted in Twitter. However he added that he feel it a previlege to share the occasion with Legends like Rajinikanth and Ramoji Rao.

“Awarding Ramoji rao garu and Rajanikanth garu with Padma Vibhushan is so apt. Their work created a lasting impression that will reflect even on generations to come. It makes me even more humbled to share the occasion with such stalwarts. But cant deny that it also makes me so happy and proud to be with them,” Rajamouli said.

Well, there is no fixed horizon when it comes to fashion and this assures all the fans of Rakul several more fancy treats from the beautiful lass even in the future.
