Sanjay Dutt’s illness shatters the Bhatts

Image
There is no denying the fact that the Bhatt family, especially Mahesh Bhatt and his eldest daughter Pooja are very close to Sanjay Dutt for years now. When the news of Dutt’s illness reached the Bhatts, they were deeply affected. “Bhatt Saab has been close to Sanjay Dutt for close to 30 years. They’ve done films like Sadak, Naam  and  Kubzaa together. Bhatt Saab was right there next to Dutt through his trial and incarceration for alleged terror activities. Bhatt Saab was shattered when he heard of Sanjay’s illness. The sad part is, because of the controversies currently around Bhatt Saab and his association with Rhea Chakraborty he is unable to hold Sanjay Dutt’s hands when he needs him the most,” says a source very close to the Bhatts. Pooja Bhatt was unable to express herself on her  Sadak  co-star’s illness. “What do you want me to ...

‘Mulan’: Niki Caro Explains Why She Didn’t Need to be Chinese to Direct the Remake

Image
Until the next round of Marvel movies come along, Disney’s new live-action remake of Mulan stands as the highest budgeted live-action film with a female director behind it, costing a reported $200 million. It was New Zealand-born director Niki Caro  who brought the ancient story to life, but many potential audience members were hoping to see someone with Chinese heritage in the director’s chair for this remake, since the project is so inherently linked with Chinese folklore. Caro addressed that criticism, but ultimately agrees that “more diverse people need to be allowed to tell stories.” Read her quotes below. Back in February, before the world skidded to a stop due to the pandemic, Caro responded to criticism that a filmmaker with Chinese ancestry, and not a New Zealander, should have been the one to tell this culturally specific story. She told THR : “Although it’s a critically important Chinese story and it’s set in Chinese culture and history, there is another culture...

‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ Trailer: Netflix’s ‘Hill House’ Follow-Up Invites Us Into a New Ghost Story

Image
Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan brought plenty of horror to Netflix with The Haunting of Hill House back in 2018. Now he’s back with even more terror with the next installment of the horror anthology series, The Haunting of Bly Manor . Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the first series, because this takes place in a completely different setting, in an entirely different decade, and follows a whole new set of characters. But as the trailer eerily illustrates, all the creepiness you loved about the first series is still here, and it will arrive just in time to spook up your October. The Haunting of Bly Manor Teaser The trailer opens with just a quick bit of voiceover saying, “I have a story. A ghost story.” Then we get a haunting tune sung by children with chilling voices as we see a montage of suspense-inducing scenes and unnerving imagery. It’s pretty standard horror fare, but in the hands of Flanagan, we know it won’t be just a series of cliches in every episode. This time, t...
