A day back, the trailer of Ashutosh Gowariker's much ambitious film Panipat hit the internet. Revolving around the third battle of Panipat that took place between the Afghans and the Marathas, the film features Arjun Kapoor as Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau and Sanjay Dutt as Ahmad Shah Abdali, an Afghan king and the founder of the Durrani Empire. While Dutt's first look as well as the brief but powerful appearance in the trailer has garnered immense praise from all corners, it has also raised an alarm in Afghanistan.
Fearing that Ahmad Shah Abdali's character might be misinterpreted, the Afghanistan embassy has asked to meet Information and Broadcasting Minister Prajash Javadekar. A letter was also sent to the Ministry of External Affairs.
“Since the film is related to former Afghan emperor Ahmad Shah Abdali, any insensitive/ distorted depiction of his character might provoke emotions of Afghans which could be unfairly exploited by others to adversely affect the trust and harmony that exists so well among the people of two countries,” part of the letter reportedly read.
The third battle of Panipat, one of the most significant wars to have taken place in world history, was won by Abdali and troops.
Given that India and Afghanistan share various crucial strategic ties, the Indian Government is expected to respond to the letter and head for a discussion to take note of the concerns raised by the Afghan embassy.
With the recent release of Pati Patni Aur Woh’s trailer, the team has garnered a lot of appreciation and praises for their performances in the film. However, a certain dialogue of Kartik Aaryan’s monologue about marital rape did not sit well with the audience and the makers received a good amount of backlash for the same.
On behalf of the team, Bhumi Pednekar expressed her sincere apologies for hurting the audience’s sentiments. Explaining that it was not their intention, she said that none of the team members belong to that school of thought or the ideology. She further explained how her projects have only been an attempt to narrow down the gender gap.
Slated to release on December 6, Pati Patni Aur Woh is directed by Mudassar Aziz.

One of the USPs of the Dabangg franchise is the song Tere mast mast do nain and its follow-up ‘Tere Naina Bade Dagabaaz’ in the sequel, both sung by Pakistan’s much-respected Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. But now with relations between India and Pakistan deteriorating rapidly and seeping down to cultural exchanges as well, the Dabangg producers Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan and the song’s composers Sajid-Wajid have no choice but to replace the original Pakistani voice.
Speaking exclusively to this writer Wajid (one-half of the composers Sajid-Wajid) reveals, “Yes we replaced Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice with Javed Ali.” Javed who has sung some big chartbusters in recent times like ‘Kajra Re’ (Bunty Aur Babli), ‘Nagada’ (Jab We Met) and ‘Galat Baat Hai’ (Main Tera Hero) was seen as a natural replacement for the formidable original. Says composer Wajid, “This decision was unanimous. When it comes to the country, nothing else matters. We would be willing to sacrifice even our lives to protect our country. How does sacrificing a singer matter? And we don’t even see it a sacrifice.”
Wajid wants to make it clear that this move to remove Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is not to be taken personally. “We have the highest regard for him. He is an enormously talented singer. Many of his fans regard his song in Dabangg and Dabangg 2 to be the best he has sung in India. And we’re proud of those songs. Lekin ab kya Karen? Halaat hi kuch aise gaye ho donon mulk ke beech. We respect individual talent from every part of the world. Bollywood welcomes talent from all over the world. In fact we are often hospitable at the cost of our own talent. But now things have changed. We have to shut all doors and windows between the two countries. We can’t exempt cultural exchanges from the ban on Pakistan.”
Wajid says Javed Ali has done full justice to the song in Dabangg 3. “Javed is a great voice. We don’t need talent from anywhere else. We have the some of the greatest talent here.”

Arshad Warsi made his way to the digital platform with the psychological thriller Asura for Voot. Currently, he is promoting his next film Pagalpanti. During the chat session, the actor revealed that he is a project coming on an OTT platform in which his character will be absolutely bizarre.
While he is yet to start the series, he revealed that it will be in comedy space. "As an actor, you want to do something outrageous which I always look forward to. I have got one that is outrageous, which I will be doing for Amazon. "You will be going nuts and think what I am doing? I would hate to do anything that doesn't entertain people, no matter what the genre is. It should be exciting and worth watching and not depress people. The actor further teased the series, saying it is. It is bizarre to another level. Amazon is also very excited. I have not done anything like that in my life. It is one of its kind that comes and then never comes again," he said.

Dabangg is one of the most profitable and entertaining franchises of Bollywood and no film of the series is complete without certain aspects. These include a ‘Hud Hud Dabangg’ song, an item number and a romantic track pertaining to Chulbul Pandey’s wife Rajjo’s ‘Naina’. The first part featured Salman Khan wooing Sonakshi Sinha by singing the soulful track ‘Tere Mast Mast Do Nain’. In Dabangg 2, he serenaded her with ‘Tore Naina Bade Dagabaaz Re’. Both these songs were sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who also hence became a part of Dabangg-must-have list. However, in the third part, fans will have to give his voice a miss.
A source close to the project says, “Dabangg films’ songs have been hits and the Dabangg 3 album is no exception. One of the reasons why the ‘Naina’ songs of part 1 and 2 worked so well is because of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s melodious voice. Hence, Salman Khan got him on board for the romantic track of Dabangg 3 as well. The recording went well and everyone was happy with the outcome, including music director duo Sajid-Wajid. However, the tensions then increased between India and Pakistan. An unofficial decision was taken that the industry should stop working with singers from across the border. Since Rahat saab is a Pakistani, Salman and the entire team decided to drop his voice and replace it with that of another singer.”
“The full audio of ‘Tose Naina Lade’ song will be out today and is expected to work big time, despite Rahat saab’s absence,” adds the source but refuses to divulge who replaced the voice of the legendary singer. However, the source tells, “Earlier a decision was taken to release the full audio of a song every three days. That’s not happening but all audio songs of the film will be out this month itself for sure.”
