TIL that #VarunDhawan and #KanganaRanaut were the original choice for Andhadhun.

Though I am big fan of Kangana but I feel the cast of Andhadhun was perfect everyone Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte did a phenomenal job.

What do you think?

. #JanhviKapoor crying foul over being sexualized in #Peddi would be easier to take seriously if she hadn't previously said that the entire purpose of a BHEEGI SARI song was to make people feel attracted and that she'd be offended if they weren't.

Janhvi Kapoor PR please get this video removed form internet.

Its is not aligning with your PR strategy of Janhvi not happy with her role and director’s vision.

Yahan toh Taareeefon k pool bandh rahe hai 😭

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Gayatri Chaganti makes a fair point. From Devara to Param Sundari, glamour has been a major part of Janhvi Kapoor's screen image. That's why the sudden victim narrative around sexualization comes across as convenient rather than convincing.

@bolly_talkies Janhvi’s PR is something else man! 🫡

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Janhvi Kapoor on odd days - I would have chosen an easier route of doing only glamorous role in big budget films instead chose challenging roles.

Janhvi on even days - Doing only glamorous roles in big budget movies.

They want the best of both worlds.

This is how criticism should be addressed. Not everything should be dismissed as trolling and swept under the carpet, the way KJo and Alia often do.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Good to see audience feedback is now being taken seriously 👏

[BuchiBabuSana @BuchiBabuSana]

As a filmmaker, I believe cinema should entertain, inspire, and connect with audiences. It should never make anyone feel uncomfortable or disrespected. We have heard the feedback regarding certain scenes in Peddi and have taken it seriously.

I have always had immense respect for women, both on and off screen, and it was never our intention to objectify or disrespect any female character. If any part of the film has been perceived that way, we respect those sentiments, understand the concerns being raised, and sincerely apologize.

After reviewing the feedback, we have decided to make changes to the concerned portions. Cinema grows through its connection with audiences, and as storytellers, we have a responsibility to be mindful of evolving perspectives and sensitivities.

Every woman deserves to be respected, valued, and represented with dignity. We remain committed to telling stories that celebrate strong characters and uphold those values.

Thank you to everyone who shared their views honestly and sincerely."

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@BuchiBabuSana Finally audience feedback is taken seriously.

This is how one should respond to criticism not everything should be termed as trolling and rushed under the carpet like Kjo and Alia does.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Shrasti Verma's statement has put #Peddi under scrutiny. If she is pursuing an ongoing POCSO case against choreographer Shaik Jani Basha and has publicly raised concerns about his continued employment, shouldn't the film's team be asked where they stand on the issue?

[BNG @bolly_bb]

If Kriti Sanon can say No to a Karan Johar movie as she was worried about how it would be portrayed on screen.

Then Janhvi Kapoor a nepo baby can definitely say NO to such movies which she think sexualises her character. Stop acting as a victim.

#Peddi

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@Fillmyworld21 The PR by Janhvi is nauseating at the moment.
She was terrible in all these films.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Looks like Janhvi Kapoor is trying very hard to be seen as both the critic and the beneficiary of the film Peddi.

#Peddi #JanhviKapoor

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@AlwaysBollywood Nothing but a PR exercise by her team. Pick a lane girl. Contradictions are literally head spinning 😵‍💫

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@Bollyhungama There was good window free after pati Patni aur…release. Makers made a stupid decision and are now crying.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

First came the confession. Then came Hina Khan's outrage. Now comes Shilpa Shinde's video accusing people of using the controversy for attention.

Whose side are you on? Hina Khan or Shilpa Shinde?

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@kannykrush Yes, you can’t act 24/7 on a reality show but one can definitely put an ACT after the show by giving curated interviews and acting holier than thou.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

Agree with Hina Khan's point on false allegations. But the self-portrayal as someone who never comments on others??
Bigg Boss viewers remember a very different Hina, one who rarely missed a chance to judge, comment on or mock others. The message is valid; the messenger naah. 😅

[Hina Khan @eyehinakhan]

The joke is on us!

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@eyehinakhan You are right about false allegations being dangerous. But "I never comment on other people's business" coming from the same Hina who built an entire Bigg Boss season around commenting on other people's business is peak irony.

[BNG @bolly_bb]

@Bollyhungama Ashoke Pandit saying Kangana was "banned" because she talks nonsense is ironic. For years, the industry claimed nobody could ban anyone. Now suddenly bans are real when it's convenient? The more they explain, the more confusing their position becomes.
