This is not the first time that Rashid Siddiqui is getting involved in spreading fake news related to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Earlier, the YouTuber was arrested for spreading fake news and using the name of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his son, minister Aditya Thackeray, in connection with the death case that shook Bollywood.

In one of his videos, Siddiqui had alleged that Akshay Kumar was envious about Sushant Singh Rajput’s stardom, and claimed that the Bollywood superstar had conducted several secret meetings with Aditya Thackeray.

In another video, Siddiqui alleged that Akshay Kumar is helping Sushant’s former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty to escape her to Canada.

Post the Sushant Singh Rajput murder case, Siddiqui had posted several videos on the issue. In this time span, Siddiqui apparently earned Rs 15 lakhs as YouTube revenue, and his subscribers grew from 2 lakh to over 3 lakh.

Akshay captioned the photo, “This Deepawali, let us endeavor to keep alive the ideals of Ram in the consciousness of all Bharatiyas by building a bridge (setu) that will connect generations to come. Taking this mammoth task ahead, here is our humble attempt – RAM SETU ! Wishing you & yours a very Happy Deepawali!”.

The poster of the film features Akshay Kumar in a dishevelled look with a saffron scarf around his neck. The background of the poster has Lord Ram with a bow and arrow. It also features the text, “myth or reality?” The makers have released posters English and Hindi.

Ram Setu will be directed by Abhishek Sharma, who has previously helmed films like The Zoya Factor, Paramanu, Tere Bin Laden among others. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who is directing Akshay’s upcoming ‘Prithviraj’, is credited as the creative producer of the film.

Amid huge pre-release hype elevated through controversies regarding the title and theme, Akshay Kumar’s new movie Laxmii was released on Disney+Hotstar on November 9. Directed by Raghava Lawrence, Laxmii is the remake of Tamil blockbuster Kanchana helmed by Lawrence himself.

A cliched theme

The film revolves around the life of Asif (Akshay Kumar), who is a rationalist. Asif is married to Rashmi (Kiara Advani). At one point in time, they decided to visit Rahmi’s parents who are living in a bungalow in Daman. Things soon get creepy when a supernatural power possesses Akshay Kumar’s body.

In old Indian movies, it will be the female protagonist who gets possessed by the ghost. But here, it is the male lead who gets possessed. However, the reason behind the demonic possession remains the same, and it has that old cliched theme where the ghost comes back to take vengeance against his feuds.

Laxmii fails to engage audiences

The film which falls under the horror-comedy genre literally failed to engage the audiences in its 140 minutes running time. The film is loaded with the same old stereotyped jokes, and some of them were stale which can be considered as an insult to the transgender community.

Even though the film was sold in the name of transgenders, Laxmii is nothing but a joke on the community. This movie too looks at this community as a group of violent people who demand justice by spilling blood.

A mediocre movie which is real torture

Laxmii is a film that is loaded with an ensemble star-cast. However, none of the actors including Akshay Kumar failed to impress the audiences. Kiara Advani had nothing much to do in this film, apart from running here and there out of fear.

Wonderful performers like Sharad Kelkar, Rajesh Sharma, Ayesha Raza Mishra, and Manu Rishi Chadha were completely wasted by the director in this movie.

Overall, Laxmii is nothing but a cliched horror movie with no elements of surprise. This film offers nothing new, and the makers would have considered dubbing Kanchana to Hindi before thinking about a remake.

Verdict: Better watch the original (1.5/5)

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani

Director: Raghava Lawerence

Laxmmi Bomb has no apparent links to nepotism – the lead actors Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani are not starkids. It is directed by south filmmaker Raghava Lawrence, and produced by Cape of Good Films (Akshay’s company), Fox Star Studios, Shabinaa Entertainment and Tushar Entertainment House.

However, some netizens seemed to have been looking forward to hitting the dislike button on the Laxmmi Bomb trailer on YouTube, and were pretty disappointed to find that the Disney+ Hotstar had hidden the ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ numbers. Some opined that the makers were scared of public opinion.

Earlier the OTT platform has face a lot of backlash in the past when it released trailers of of the film Sadak 2, starring Alia Bhatt which got a record 13M dislikes.

Akshay himself seemed to irk SSR fans recently when he finally broke his silence on Sushant’s death and the investigation into an alleged drug problem in Bollywood. He admitted that drug use is a problem in the film industry but requested everyone to not view the entire industry as a place of wrongdoings.

Laxmmi Bomb is a comedy horror film written and directed by Raghava Lawrence in his Hindi directorial debut. It is a remake of the Tamil movie Muni 2: Kanchana, and the trailer promises a total mass entertainer will be releasing on November 9, 2020, on Disney+ Hotstar.

Post the death of popular young actor Sushant Singh Rajput, nepotism debates have shrouded Bollywood, and now, Aamir Khan’s brother Faisal Khan has revealed that the Indian film industry is also a place of favoritism and bias. Faisal Khan made these shocking remarks while talking with Bollywood Hungama, and he recollected an incident where filmmaker Karan Johar insulted him without any reason.

The alleged incident which Faisal Khan recollected happened on the occasion of Aamir Khan’s 50th birthday bash. Faisal revealed that Karan Johar behaved in a weird manner with him, and the director intentionally insulted him while he was talking to someone.

“If your work flops, they don’t treat you well; they don’t even look at you and it has happened to me. On my brother’s 50th birthday, I was looked down upon by someone, I don’t wish to take the name. But, Karan Johar acted weird with me; he put me down. He insulted me when I was trying to talk to someone and trying to disconnect with the person I was talking to. So, a lot of such things have happened and even I have been through it,” said Faisal Khan.

Faisal Khan also talked about the bitter experience he faced from filmmakers even after he proved his mettle in the movie ‘Mela’ which also starred Aamir Khan in another prominent role.

However, Faisal made it clear that people without a film background can also mark their presence felt in the industry. According to Faisal Khan, star kids will get an initial advantage in the industry, but people will survive only according to their talent. He also cited the examples of Shah Rukh Khan, Ayushman Khurana and Akshay Kumar who made it big in Bollywood without the help of Godfathers.

“At the end of the day, you’ll get a break in the industry due to nepotism and favouritism. If your father is a big director then he can make a few calls and people to cast you, but you will have to prove your worth in the end. There’s no theory or formula for success,” added Faisal Khan.
