This week, Bollywood had its fair share of highs and lows, quite literally. The highs involved a certain Mr. Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan, while the lows were felt by Bollywood veteran Dilip Kumar.
Dilip Kumar Stable but Critical: The week began on a sober note, with yesteryear Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar being rushed to a suburban hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. The nonagenarian superstar will reportedly return home in a few days, and our prayers are with him for a speedy recovery.
‘Happy New Year’ Team Flies High: Talk about flying high, and Farah Khan’s ‘Happy New Year’ team literally achieved this in Dubai. Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan went for a chopper ride this week, with SRK posting the pictures on Twitter.
Musically Yours: After hectic promotions on a popular dance reality TV show last week, Hrithik Roshan was geared up to launch the music of his upcoming superhero release ‘Krrish 3’ at a Ganesh pandal in the city. Invoking blessings from the elephant-headed deity, Hrithik was spotted along with his co-stars Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut, and his father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan.
‘Paani’ Undergoes Casting Changes: Shekhar Kapur’s ambitious project ‘Paani’ has been in the news for quite a while, but this week he announced that he is replacing the lead hero. Sushant Singh Rajput replaced Hrithik Roshan, as the filmmaker said his script kept changing, and that he wanted a young, raw actor to play the part. Hrithik’s loss will surely be Sushant’s gain, as the filmmaker is acclaimed for his intense dramas.
