Delhi CM Rekha Gupta urged Arvind Kejriwal to focus on Punjab, where AAP is in power, as the state grapples with devastating floods

Fans of Pawan Kalyan were a disappointed lot! While they were glad to see him in his character Ojhas Gambheera (OG) costumes at the OG concert in Hyderabad on Sunday, they were livid after the filmmakers haven’t released the trailer on social media. Even while Pawan kept asking director Sujeeth on stage to unveil the trailer, his efforts went in vain.

Technical snag delays trailer

OG trailer was supposed to be released at 10 AM on Sunday morning. Just when everyone was waiting for the trailer to explode, a couple of hours before, filmmakers announced that it would be released during the OG concert later in the day. But at the event, the filmmakers could only manage to screen the trailer… and that too on Pawan’s insistence. Work on a few specific effect shots in Digital Intermediary (DI) in the film’s postproduction work caused the delay in trailer release. Pawan admittedly said, “There is still a DI issue with the trailer it seems, but I said it’s ok my fans can understand and imagine the essence of it even though the trailer doesn’t have any DI. I am forcing the makers to play the trailer here for you.”

With just three days for release, fans have expressed huge disappointment over the entire trailer delay episode. What’s shocking to see is there’s no clarity over the trailer release even on Monday morning. What was slated to be a straightforward release spiralled into a controversy and further tested the patience of Pawan Kalyan fans. Angry fans took to social media and expressed their anguish and trolled the filmmakers for the way they handled the issue. Meanwhile, some miscreants have put up OG trailer on social media. Soon filmmakers appealed to everyone to delete the trailer, and that they are on the cusp of releasing the original one.

In the 1990s, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, who would later become husband and wife, first met while working together on a film set. After their marriage in 2001, she did not pursue any further acting roles. Twinkle later revealed that she had never aspired to be an actor, unlike her parents, the late Rajesh Khanna and veteran actress Dimple Kapadia, and therefore did not feel a sense of loss regarding her acting career after her final film, Dharmesh Darshan’s Mela in 2000, which also starred Aamir Khan.

Akshay recalled, “When her film with Aamir Khan sahab, Mela, was about to release, we were having an affair. So I asked her, ‘Let’s get married?’ But she didn’t want to marry. So, she said she’d marry only if Mela doesn’t work. Everyone believed that Mela would work wonders because it’s an Aamir Khan film, with Dharmesh Darshan as the director.”

However, as fate would have it, Mela did not perform well at the box office. Akshay jokingly said on Aap Ki Adalat, “Sorry Aamir Khan sahab, that film of yours didn’t work. But I got married because of you.” He revealed that they were filming separately until 6 p.m on their wedding day. After the wrap-up, they exchanged vows in a private ceremony on the terrace of a friend’s home.

At the recent trailer launch of her upcoming chat show, Two Much With Kajol & Twinkle, Twinkle Khanna shared that Akshay Kumar uses a specific codeword whenever he wants her to be silent, which is “chashma pehen lo (wear your glasses).” Akshay said on Aap Ki Adalat, “My wife has no filter. She speaks her mind. When we were newly married, I took her to a trial show of my film. When the producer asked her, ‘Bhabhiji, kaisi lagi aapko film? (How did you like the film)’, she said, ‘It’s a sh*t movie.’ I thought this man would never cast me again.” When he tried explaining Twinkle to be more diplomatic in her approach, she said, “No, I am like this. I’ll call a spade a spade.”

On the work front, Akshay Kumar’s recently released film, Jolly LLB 3 has been getting a good response from both fans and critics for its mix of comedy and social messaging.
