More news →Mumbai gang-rape: Big B expresses shock
"Deeply shocked" and "distressed" over the gangrape of a woman photojournalist in Mumbai, megastar Amitabh Bachchan said the pride in the name of Mumbai has taken a beating. He said it needs to be rectified soon. "We have all been very distressed and extremely shocked at this most heinous kind of crime - the gangrape that has happened in Mumbai. This a huge tragedy and I must say this that the name of the city (Mumbai) has taken a beating and we need to rectify that," Big B said here during the launch of a "Kaun Banega Crorepati" 'Hot Seat Aapke Shehar' van. A woman photojournalist was raped by five men in the abandoned Shakti Mills compound near Mahalaxmi railway station where she was on an assignment along with a male colleague here Thursday. The police has so far caught two of the culprits. "I hope the authorities will take the immediate steps and catch the culprits and put them through a very rigorous investigation, take them to the law and make sure that the law acts as soon as possible," added the 70-year-old. Lamenting how the city, considered safe for women, has witnessed such a crime, Amitabh added: "We have always had great pride in this city... in the city that has been devoid of any kind of such incidents. "Women have always been looked upon with grace and a lot of dignity and they have always felt very safe, irrespective of where they go or what they travelled in."
Plea in Delhi HC to block 'Gulaab Gang' release
Activist Sampat Pal Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court for blocking the release of forthcoming Hindi movie "Gulaab Gang", which is reportedly based on her life. Sampat Pal formed Gulabi Gang, a group of pink sari clad women vigilantes from Uttar Pradesh. The film, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla as leads, is set for release March 7. Sampat Pal moved the high court seeking a restraining order on the release of "Gulaab Gang", saying the filmmakers did not take her permission before making the movie. She also sought financial compensation, saying there are certain scenes in movie which will effect her reputation. Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, hearing the plea, questioned Pal for the delay in filing the plea. "Why you approached the court last minute when movie is going to release? Why didn't you come earlier?" asked court, while passing over the case to hear it later in the day and asking Pal's counsel to show judgments related to the case. The movie, slated for release Friday, is directed by debutant Soumik Sen and produced by Anubhav Sinha.
'Yeh Ishq Sarfira' not inspired by Najafgarh gang war: Director
Director Varun Khanna has clarified that his upcoming revenge drama "Yeh Ishq Sarfira" is not based on the brutal Najafgarh gang war going on since many years. "Since the time I have shared the plot of my film with some of my close friends, several of them found resemblance with the Najafgarh gang war. When we were shooting and when I showed some of the film's scenes, many had similar opinion. But I want to clear it once and for all that 'Yeh Ishq Sarfira' is not based on the particular case," Khanna told. "There could be certain resemblances but that is purely coincidental. I wouldn't deny this fact that my script is inspired from several real-life incidents not just from north of India but other places of the country as well. There have been other incidents like the Najafgarh gang war, so it's strange that all think we've adapted that case into our film," he added. The particular case in question involves two villages of southeast Delhi area Najafgarh - Dichaon Kalan and Mitraon, where a former MLA was killed in March this year. The murder was considered a fallout of the conflict between the gangs of respective villages going on since decades regarding land-grabbing and real estate business. The film stars Akhilesh Verma, Oviya Helen, Naina Aswal and Mukesh Tiwari. The film traces the metamorphosis of a lover into a gangster to take revenge for the murder of his girlfriend. "My only focus was to make an out-and-out entertaining film set against the backdrop of a justifiable revenge story. And I'm extremely confident that I've made something that the masses would love. We don't want any controversies to our film by unnecessarily tagging along the name of that gang war," Khanna said. "Yeh Ishq Sarfira" is produced by Sushila D.R. Tokas and Kavita Ashraf Ali under the banner Rahul Productions and A. K. Films. Mates Entertainment is releasing the film across India on November 20.
