Netizens Slam Filmfare For Picking Ranveer Singh Over Sidharth Malhotra For Best Actor Award

Mumbai, August 31 - The 67th Filmfare Awards winners have been announced and it has left a section of people disappointed regarding the Best Actor. Ranveer Singh, who played the role of legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev in "83", has been awarded the Best Actor award, however, many people believe that it was Sidharth Malhotra who deserved this honor most for "Shershaah". ## Sidharth Malhotra played the role of the Kargil war hero, Param Vir Chakra awardee Vikram Batra and his twin brother Vishal in the Vishnuvardhan-directorial film. Sidharth's performance in the film is regarded as the finest act of his career. ## The actor was nominated for the Best Actor award with Ranveer Singh (83), Dhanush (Atrangi Re), and Vicky Kaushal (Sardar Uddham), but it was Ranveer, who grabbed the honor at 67th Filmfare Awards 2022. This didn't go well with people who were sure about Sidharth's chances for the award. They took to Twitter and expressed their disappointment on the same. ## This aint fair. If someone deserved the best actor award this year, it was @SidMalhotra for Shershaah. Filmfare has been really biased with this decision. Disappointed. https://t.co/B6RZpUiCII— Sara Naveed (@SaraNaveed) August 30, 2022 ## #FilmfareAwards2022 goes too #RanveerSingh forhis movie 83 this is very shocked.

No bad against ranveer but 83 was a flop while shershah was a blockbuster. No one deserves to win more than #SidharthMalhotra This is so unfair.#FilmfareAwards2022 https://t.co/kXb8m6nMvT— À🎧 (@_aalohomora) August 30, 2022 ## Thanks! Now we are sure that filmfare is rigged!

Ranveer Singh's '83' Crosses 'Jai Ho', 'Housefull 2 & 3', And More At The Worldwide Box Office

Mumbai, February 7 - Ranveer Singh-starrer cricket biopic, "83", has been struggling big at the Indian box office. The Kabir Khan-directed grossed approx Rs. 1.50 crores in its 7th weekend, pushing total domestic haul to Rs. 125 crores. ## The domestic box office of "83" is poor considering the fact that the movie cost over Rs. 220 crores in production. Overseas, "83" is the biggest Indian movie, released during the covid-19 pandemic. After 45 days, it has grossed approx Rs. 64 crores. The total worldwide gross for the film currently stands at Rs. 189 crores. ## Produced by Deepika Padukone, Kabir Khan, Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Sajid Nadiadwala, and Reliance Entertainment, "83" may be a disappointing outing, it has still surpassed many Bollywood biggies at the worldwide box office. Check out the full list of highest-grossing Hindi films, here.## After the 7th weekend, "83" down Akshay Kumar-fronted "Housefull 2", which grossed Rs. 188.4 crores worldwide and Salman Khan-led "Jai Ho" (Rs. 186.37 crores). The movie also surpassed "Housefull 3" (Rs. 185.7 crores), "Stree" (Rs. 182 crores), and a few others. It also becomes the 64th highest-grossing Bollywood film at the worldwide box office. ## The makers of "83" should thank the recent postponements due to the 3rd covid-19 wave, which helped the movie to get a free run at the box office. It wouldn't have reached the current collection had there been competition with other films. The film's run will end with new releases "Badhaai Do" and Hindi dubbed Hindi version of Telugu movie "Khiladi" on February 11. ## Based on India's maiden Cricket World Cup win-led by Kapil Dev in 1983, the movie stars Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev and Padukone as Romi Bhatia, Dev's wife, featuring an ensemble cast of Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Adinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa, and R Badree in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Ranveer Singh Likes To Turn Challenges Into Canvas For His Characters

Mumbai, Jan 11 (IANS) Bollywood star Ranveer Singh derives inspiration from challenges that push him to do better. Whenever he gets offered a daunting character, he does get rattled and nervous but the actor doesn't let himself get bogged down by the challenge.## Instead, he uses nervous energy to sketch characters that connect with the audience at large.## Commenting on the same, the actor says, "I like daunting challenges. I feel daunted when they are pitched or presented to me. When Sanjay Leela Bhansali comes with Alauddin Khilji or Kabir Khan comes with Kapil Dev or Rohit Shetty with a full-blown masala character like 'Simmba', initially, I do get rattled, I do get daunted and feel nervous".## He continues, "But it's nervous energy. I learnt from Kris Srikkanth, who I have had the good fortune to spend time with during the '83' movie promotions. He told me its energy - it cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transmitted, transformed. So, I take this nervousness and I channel it into the energy that I use to pursue this path of transformation. It's those challenges that excite me and I embrace them fully".## He further says, "Kapil Dev has such a distinctive persona, body language, way of talking, it's a huge challenge but I was up to it and was excited about it. I was like this is a new challenge, this is something I haven't done before".## He adds, "There are other instances of villainous characters or these characters - they've not got a living reference. It's a different kind of challenge where you have to create from your imagination. But here I had to become a person who was so well and widely known and recognized. It was very daunting".## Ranveer is also hugely inspired by three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis, who is known for his transformations in movies, "It's my endeavor to create characters that are distinctive and different from each other because growing up as an aspiring actor I felt most fascinated with those actors who are able to show a wide range in their repertoire, who are able to transform themselves, who can be shapeshifters, chameleons like Daniel Day-Lewis".## He concludes, "You see one film of one person and see the other film - it's like two different people that used to blow my mind. So I endeavor to be that way, I aspire to be that way".## Ranveer will be next seen in YRF's 'Jayeshbhai Jordaar', Shankar's remake of his blockbuster 'Anniyan', Rohit Shetty's 'Cirkus' and Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani'.## Stay tuned...

To do different characters and present different films that we as people can be proud of, I feel duty-bound to entertain people".## Reflecting upon his journey, he says, "It's been an amazing 10 years. I have worked with the finest filmmakers who have shaped me, taught me what it means to be an artist. I have learnt so much but I feel hungry. My hunger is insatiable, I want to do more films like '83' that receive this kind of unanimous love".## The actor wishes to traverse the path of experimentation in his next decade in cinema, "I intend to continue on this path and continue to explore. I am living the dream. I wake up in disbelief everyday till date that I am an actor. I still can't get over it and I am grateful for the opportunities. I say a prayer of gratitude every day, I recognize and value my opportunities and got to play Kapil Dev in the definitive movie like '83'. It blows my mind".## Recollecting the memories of the '83' screening, the superstar adds, "I cannot tell you how fulfilling it was to be in the screening of '83'. You see people laughing, crying, standing up to applaud and they are feeling this emotion together in a community viewing. They have shared an experience together and that is life.

Ranveer Singh Reveals He Was Approached For The Hindi Remake Of SS Rajamouli's 'Magadheera'

Mumbai, January 1 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is winning accolades for the portrayal of the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev in the recently released "83" film. The Kabir Khan-directed, which is based on India's maiden ODI world cup triumph in 1983, is currently playing in theaters and nearing Rs. 150 crores at the worldwide box office. ## Ranveer Singh is one of the young Bollywood actors who has worked with some of the finest Bollywood directors in his little over a decade-long career. The 36-year old actor, however, has a desire to work with South Indian filmmakers and is fascinated by Southern films. He named some of his most favorite South Indian films - Mahanati, Super Deluxe, Kumbalangi Nights, Magadheera, among others. ## The "Padmaavat" actor in an interview with Film Companion revealed that he was approached for the Hindi remake of SS Rajamouli's blockbuster "Magadheera", starring Ram Charan in the lead role. While he didn't name the filmmaker he was approached by, Ranveer said that the filmmaker tried to remake Magadheera with him, but things didn't work out. ## "I wanted to do Magadheera for the longest time. Reincarnation is my jam! Magadheera has just such a cinematic flair. Somebody was trying to remake it with me. They gave me a VCD of Magadheera. Watching it in my room alone in the early hours one morning and I was crying and clapping. It's three in the morning and I’m alone in bed watching it on my television screen", said Ranveer. ## "That's the setting and I still find myself reacting so much to it. It was, at the time, one of the best cinematic experiences. I would have loved for the Magadheera remake to have worked out, but it didn't. But never say never. I am very interested in doing something with the reincarnation theme", he added. ## Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh will be teaming up with "Robot" director Shankar with the Hindi remake of "Anniyan". It will also feature Kiara Advani as the female lead and will be produced by Pen Studios and co-produced by God Bless Entertainment. The movie will go on floors in the second half of 2022. ## Apart from the "Anniyan" remake, Ranveer currently has three films in the pipeline. His "Jayeshbhai Jordaar" with debutante director Divyang Thakkar is slated for February 25, 2022, release. It features "Arjun Reddy" fame Shalini Pandey as the female lead. Ranveer also has Rohit Shetty's "Cirkus", gearing up for the Summer 2022 release, while he is currently filming for Karan Johar's directorial return "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani", co-starring Alia Bhatt as the female lead. ## Stay tuned...

Saqib Saleem: Depicting Their Mannerisms Without Mocking Cricketers Was A Tightrope Walk

Mumbai, Dec 27 (IANS) Bollywood actor Saqib Saleem, who played the character of cricketer Mohinder Amarnath in '83', says getting the mannerisms and body language of the cricket star right without mocking him was quite a thin line that he had to maintain.## In conversation with IANS, Saqib shares, "When we were starting the film, Kabir told us that every actor has to become them instead of pretending to act like them. So, for me, it was like imbibing Jimmy sir's body language where I was holding the very essence of how he would move his shoulders, walk on the field, etc.## "We cannot change that because those are their signature body language that the world has seen...we can see it on all the footage that are available online. But for me, it was a tight rope to walk where we did those mannerisms without mocking them".## "Since we were preparing for a year, the body language became my second nature, it was not looking like mocking anymore eventually", he added.## As the film is based on the victory of the Indian cricket team that won the World Cup 1983 led by Kapil Dev, the actor shared how it was a moment of nostalgia to watch the film with his father Saleem Qureshi.## Drawing a parallel between real and reel life Saqib said, "You know my father is a huge fan of Mohinder Amarnath. So for me, it was one of those special films where I wanted to impress my father and I wanted him to feel proud of me for my acting. Quite interestingly, Jimmy sir during the World Cup also was trying to impress his father Lalaji with his performance.## "Yes, he came from a privileged background but he was a most responsible and humble man who understood the duty of being the son of an iconic cricketer like Lala Amarnath. He was trying to prove how deserving he is to be an Amarnath".## Lala Amarnath was the first cricket captain of independent India. He was also the first batsman to score a century in Test cricket for India. Mohindar Amarnath is the son of Lala Amarnath.## Asked about what was his understanding of Mohindar as a personality and Saqib shared, "I asked him that when he used to face the fast bowling of West Indies cricket greats like Michael Holding, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, what was going on in his head? Jimmy sir laughed and replied, 'Beta uss time pe agar zyada dimaag chalate na, to ball saar pe lag ke wahin khatam ho jaate...we were just doing our basics right. That is it, it was all about those few seconds in between and your reflexes".## Directed by Kabir Khan, '83' released in theatres on Friday.## Stay tuned...
