Released in 2007, Ram Gopal Varma’s Aag is considered an epic disaster of all-time and the eccentric director is still targeted by the fans of the film’s original version, the yesteryear classic, Sholay. Even after 8 years, the sins committed by RGV by remaking the classic are still haunting him.

The Delhi High Court has slapped a fine of Rs. 10 lakhs on Ram Gopal Varma for ‘deliberately violating the exclusive copyright vested with the director Ramesh Sippy’, who helmed the 1975 blockbuster hit Sholay. The petition was filed by Sascha Sippy, son of GP Sippy, who produced Sholay. The high court imposed the fine on RGV and his production houses M/S RGV Productions Pvt Ltd, Varma Corporation Ltd and Madhu Varma and restrained them from using Gabbar Singh or Gabbar from Sholay.

“The use of similar plot and characters in the impugned film coupled with use of the underlying music, lyrics and background score and even dialogues from the original film Sholay amounts to infringement of copyright in the film Sholay,” the high court said in its judgment, charging Varma and his associate companies as guilty of infringement under Section 14(a) read with Section 55 of Copyright Act, 1957.

The high court further said that Ram Gopal Varma ke Aag ‘distorted and mutilated’ the original copyright work of the maker of original Sholay.

Reliance Entertainment and Abhishek Pictures had picked up the Hindi rights of the movie for a whopping 22 Crores for this deal which is considered as very huge. This deal will come as a huge relief to Gunasekhar, the director and producer of the movie who is under severe financial stress.

Usually, actors fear for sequels as they rarely click at box office. However, a young Bollywood actress is showing special interest in sequels. Bollywood’s bad man Shakti Kapoor’s doting daughter Shraddha Kapoor who is making waves in Bollywood with back to back hits has given nod for another sequel.

After starring in Aashiqui and ABCD sequels, Shraddha has signed on to play leading lady in second franchise of Rock On. Both Aashiqui 2 and ABCD 2 were blockbusters grossing over 100 crores and she is expecting hat trick hit ‘sequels’ with Rock On 2.

Shraddha Kapoor is new to the franchise and will be sharing screen space opposite Farhan Akhtar. The multi-talented starlet has lent her voice for three songs in this film and will be seen singing songs. She is taking singing classes from senior actress Priyanka Chopra. Shraddha earlier crooned a song ‘Teri Galiyan’ in Ek Villain.

We are talking about the biggest of the big stars. Like the way even a moon has some spots on it, these big stars too have some minuses. Both Chiranjevi and Charan failed big way to woo Bollywood audiences. While Chiru left trying there long back, Charan is still in process to kick start his second film. Here comes a surprising news at his juncture.

Youngster Nikhil, who just changed his path and started making big in Tollywood is said to be setting his sights on farther shores. According to what we heard, he’s chalking out plans to make it big in Bollywood. Though nothing is confirmed, the speculation has some solid backing.

A close source said, “Currently Nikhil is in Mumbai. He’s in talks with a big Mumbai production house. There is no clarity if he will star in the Telugu version of the big production company’s new venture or he will also debut in Bollywood. But there is something big coming up!!“.

Will Nikhil achieve what big stars like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and recently Charan failed to deliver? Today Nikhil is in Mumbai to discuss about the project, so we may know details about this first project very soon. Let’s see.

All these days it is highly believed that there is something going on between heroine Charmi and music director Devi Sri Prasad. These two were expected to tie the knot if the reports doing in film nagar are to be believed. But nothing holds true in this aspect, as Charmi did an unthinkable.

Devi Sri Prasad’s own brother Sagar (singer) has got a Rakhi tied by Charmi today on the eve of Rakhi festival. She called him as a god given brother and tied a big Rakhi on his hand. As it is widely believed that Rakhi is tied only between brothers or persons between sibling relation, we wonder what’s the relation between Charmi and Devi now. Is DSP a big brother of our hot heroine?

Not to compare with any story or gossip, but a Bollywood rumour should be mentioned in this context. It is heard that heroine Sridevi has tied Rakhi to Boney Kapoor during her filmy days. Later when she broke up with a senior star, she has ended up marrying Boney, who has divorced his the then wife to be with Sridevi. No comparisons folks, just a Rakhi story!!!

Ace producer Allu Arvind is all set to kick start a new venture. Since 1972, he’s running a great show with film production company “Geetha Arts”. And now he has suddenly introduced Bunny Vas as another producer on GA banner. Then there came this new venture “GA2”, which is now producing Bhale Bhale Magadivoyi banner.

Earlier it is assumed that this new production house will make some medium to short budgeted films, but latest revelation that they will be making films only in co-production with other banners. GA2 joined hands with UV Productions to make Bhale Bhale Magadivoyi and they might continue doing the same in the coming days.

Any production house that has limited budget could approach GA2 for a joint production such that budgets could be expanded. Maybe we could say that Arvind wants to act more like an investor in small budget films and make big returns at box office.

On the main banner front, we have Geetha Arts producing Allu Arjun’s next film under Boyapati’s direction. Soon, they are going to make films with Charan and Varun Tej too.
