0

Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who was born and brought up in Mumbai, says that whenever he visits the national capital he feels like he is visiting his own city.

The actor-producer was here to inaugurate Malabar Gold & Diamonds' store in sector 18 where hundreds of fans were gathered to catch a glimpse of the MR. INDIA star.

"I have been coming to Delhi for years now. My sister (Reena Marwah) stays here. I feel as if I am in my own city, meeting my people and Delhi people. So, it all feels good," Anil told the media here.

Speaking on his relationship with the jewellery brand, Anil said: "My relationship with the brand and its people is very old and strong. They are opening up so many stores and now it is finally here in Noida. This is a brand, and all their generations have been into it. It is a family brand."

Clad in a mahogany brown Nehru jacket and crisp charcoal black trousers and white shirt, Anil also danced to a few of his cult numbers like ‘My name is Lakkhan’, ‘Rum ta jogi’ and ‘No Entry’ soundtrack with high octane energy for the fans, some of whom even clambered onto tree branches for a clearer view of the energetic actor.

Anil said: "I have always wanted to bring a smile on people's faces, tried to entertain them the best way I can. I do such movies… sometimes I dance, sing, do comedy films. My motive is to entertain people. I wish I keep getting the love people give me. Be positive in life. This dialogue was filmed on me as I always adhere to this attitude in life."

Malabar Gold & Diamonds is planning to open new showrooms in various states across the country including five in Delhi/NCR, three in Punjab and is also planning to have its footprints in the US, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Brunei this year.

In India, the brand has jewellery making units in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra and Bengal.

Christopher Nolan won’t direct next James Bond

0

Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has debunked rumours he's next in line to direct James Bond.

"I won't be the man (to direct the next Bond). No, categorically," Nolan told BBC Radio 4's 'Desert Island Discs'.

But he would love to helm a Bond film, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I think every time they hire a new director I'm rumoured to be doing it. I'd love to make a Bond film at some point and I think those producers – Barbara and Michael (Broccoli and G Wilson) – they do a tremendous job and Sam Mendes has done a terrific job the last couple of films, so they don't particularly need me.

"But I've always been inspired by the films and would love to do one someday," he said.

After the mega success of the DULHANIA series (HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA & BADRINATH KI DULHANIA) Shashank and Varun have taken a giant leap and are all set to begin the journey of spectacle and extravaganza with RANNBHOOMI. But this time their genre moves from romance to action-drama.

Talking about their collaboration, producer Karan Johar said, "RANNBHOOMI is Shashank’s colossal and ambitious imagination to attempt a hat-trick with Varun and Dharma. Shashank & Varun make an epic blend of creative and commercial extravaganza and that is exactly what Dharma Productions' vision for the coming few projects is. I am very excited to bring them together again for this Diwali 2020 epic tale."

However with no announcement made regarding the female lead, we wonder who will be paired opposite Varun in this war film. Till then stay tuned for more updates.
