Boxing champion M.C. Mary Kom's husband Onler has joined forces with "Mary Kom" co-producers Viacom18 Motion Pictures to ensure that the biopic on his wife gets released in their home state Manipur.

Onler has also been very helpful in trying to get the release. Let's see where we end up finally," said Ajit Andhare, chief operating officer, Viacom18 Motion Pictures.

V-word had got my film A certificate: Madhur Bhandarkar

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar is glad that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has allowed the team of "Finding Fanny" to use the term "virgin" and has approved it with a UA certificate.

It's something he wasn't allowed in his film "Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji" in 2011.

"Appreciate that Censor Board's allowed Finding Fanny team to use d word VIRGIN. Sadly during DTBHJ the V-word got my film an A certificate," Bhandarkar posted on his Twitter page.

It's a positive sign - "Finding Fanny" director Homi Adajania, readily agrees.

CBFC had earlier asked the film's team to discard a dialogue from the film, where actress Deepika Padukone says, "I'm a virgin".

However, the makers were confused by CBFC's "contradictory action" as the line had been passed earlier in the trailers.

"Finding Fanny" releases Sep 12. Produced by Maddock Films, the film is being presented by Fox Star Studios.

At an event here Thursday, Tiger had said that Jackson has been his inspiration.

Tiger has his own fan following, but he considers himself a labourer.

One of the most awaited Bollywood films of the year, Priyanka Chopra-starrer "Mary Kom" is said to have garnered collections of over Rs.8 crore on its opening day.

"The film has made Rs.8 crore plus on its opening day," a source from the movie's co-producers Viacom18 Motion Pictures, told IANS.

"Mary Kom", a biopic on the five-time boxing champion M.C. Mary Kom's life, is directed by first time director Omung Kumar and co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The makers are happy with the response to the film which released across 1,800 screens in the country Friday. The release was preceded by a world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.

"'Mary Kom' has delivered a strong opening day and set a new first day benchmark for heroine-centric films. The word of mouth is positive and Priyanka's standout performance has touched a chord with audiences across sections," Ajit Andhare, chief operating officer, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, said in a statement.

They are confident that the film will do well.

"The film is further set for a strong weekend," Andhare added.

A story of a strong willed Manipur-based girl, who faced all odds to pursue her passion and who continued to follow her love for boxing even after becoming a wife and a mother of two, "Mary Kom" released in 1,800 screens in the country.

The team, which went all out to promote the film aggressively, was elated when it was declared tax free in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Assam.

Trade analyst Komal Nahta has deduced that "Mary Kom" is a box office champion.

"It may have started slow but fantastic word of mouth will see collections soaring and the film proving to be a hit at the box office," he posted on Twitter.

Use star status rationally: Pakistani actor Fawad Khan

He may or may not take up a bold and intimate roles, but Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan, who enjoys a clean image, is clear about his responsibilities as a celebrity. The "unpredictable" actor-singer feels star status should be used "as rationally and as logically as possible".

He is a big name back home, thanks to his clean and rewarding roles in TV shows like "Dastaan", "Humsafar" and "Zindagi Gulzar Hai" and telefilms "Khuda Kay Liye". His popularity transcends the border and he struck a right chord with Indian audiences with the same shows.

Now the 32-year-old is set to take this further with his Bollywood debut "Khoobsurat", again a clean family drama.

Asked why he chose a family entertainer for his debut, he said: "You do certain projects, play certain characters and present it to the audience because you tend to educate them.

"Celebrities, as public figures, have an opportunity to use their status as rationally and as logically as possible. It is a very dangerous position and when you take on that responsibility you have to take a lot of things into account."

Will he accept bold or intimate roles?

In his response, he pointed out the difference between presenting something crassly and with class.

"There is a difference between vulgarity and aesthetics. When any such thing comes to me, and if I feel I am ready for it, you never know... I am unpredictable.

"The ball game is open, but I will play a little safe... it's not hypocrisy," he said reminding his character in "Zindagi Gulzar Hai".

So far, a number of Pakistani artists like Ali Zafar, Veena Malik and Humaima Mallick, among others, have tried their luck in Bollywood but none could attain stardom.

Fawad is pretty open ended about success or failure.

"Everyone fears a financial crisis. And that matters to me as well. You have to keep your house running.

"I have had minimum expectation from my work even back home, but I have been fortunate in many ways. No one in my family is into music or films. For me, it has been an immense journey. You tend to learn a lot.

"I don't think about what's going to happen tomorrow, because if I start doing that I will tend to limit myself," he added.

Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, "Khoobsurat", a remake of the 1980 superhit film, will see Fawad romancing Sonam Kapoor, who is central to the story.

When asked if he was sceptical about debuting in a female-centric story, he said: "It has its advantages and disadvantages, but choice matters at the end of the day. There were also male-centric films offered to me, but I wanted to try this.

"There are a lot of interactions between these two characters (Fawad and Sonam). Even if you have 15 minutes to be part of a project, you can do a lot with it. It depends on how you take what's given to you," said Fawad, who made an impact as second fiddle to Shan in "Khuda Kay Liye".

I hope to kill girl-next-door image: Parineeti Chopra

Actress Parineeti Chopra feels perturbed when people refer to her as the quintessential 'girl-next-door' of Bollywood. She hopes that with her forthcoming films "Kill Dil" and "Daawat-e-Ishq", she will be able to break that stereotype.

In an interview, Parineeti has shared insights about working in "Kill Dil", on being stereotyped as the 'bindaas bubbly' girl and dating rumours.

Excerpts:

What's it like working with Shaad Ali in "Kill Dil"?
I think I am in awe of Shaad. When I got the offer, I was happy I was going to work with the director of "Saathiya" and "Bunty Aur Babli". But now that I've got to work closely with him, my love and respect for the person that he is, has touched the sky. He is is a joy to work with. No matter how much the stress on the sets, he's always in a good mood. When a director is not temperamental, then the actor looks forward to going to the sets every day. For us actors in "Kill Dil" - Ranveer Singh, Govinda and me, Shaad is not just a fantastic director but also a friend. When we finished shooting we partied together.

Ranveer and Shaad are very close friends. So were you the outsider in the beginning?
Oh yes, for sure! I already shared an equation with Ranveer. I used to manage his career when I was working for Yash Raj Films. He was also my first co-star. But I didn't know Shaad at all. But within five minutes of meeting him, the ice was broken. It's not difficult to get along with Shaad.

He's an introvert and you're an extrovert?
Shaad is not an introvert! He talks a lot. He is constantly joking and laughing.

So after Rani Mukerji are you the new 'Babli' in Shaad's cinema?
Ha ha. I hope not. I am not at all the bindaas bubbly type in Shaad's film. I am very different in "Kill Dill" from the way I am seen in my other films. That's what we all from the 'Kill Dill' team believe. So far I haven't done anything that's glamorous, be it 'Shuddh Desi Romance' or 'Hasee Toh Phansee', I've so far pretty much played the normal working class girl.

I think slotting you as the girl next door belittles your versatility?
That's what I feel too. Whenever I am asked this, I've to spend half an hour explaining why I feel I don't need to be slotted as the girl-next-door. Like when I am asked, 'Oh, you excel at playing the loud Punjabi girl'. The funny thing is, I've only played Punjabi in my first four films released so far. I was not Punjabi in 'Ishaqzaade' or the subsequent films.

Then why this perception?
Maybe some people think just playing loud characters makes me Punjabi. But if you think about it, the girl I played in "Hasee To Phansee" was very different from the girl in "Ishaqzaade". I hope "Daawat-e-Ishq" and "Kill Dill" kill that image.

You seem to have worked with all the younger actors. Now do you look forward to working with the Khans and Kumar?
I am doing a film with Saif (Ali Khan). I am very excited. I don't plan too far in the future.

What about a boyfriend. One never hears of you being linked with anyone?
Oh, there is one link-up, with Maneesh Sharma - that's always there. That rumour never goes, maybe because I spend a lot of time with him, even go out with him. Over here if you are seen with the same man more than once, you're presumed to be involved with him. But the truth is that I haven't really found a person to be in a relationship with. I am looking forward to that.

I am sure there's someone waiting for you out there. We have Mr. Yash Chopra's word for it?
In that case he better come out in the open quickly!

What next babe? Poonam all set for a new beginning

After burning her fingers with her movie debut "Nasha", controversy's favourite child Poonam Pandey has finally signed a second film. She is excited.

The film, the name of which is not yet released, is to be produced by The World Networks, who are venturing into film production for the first time.

"I can't tell you how many scripts I've rejected after 'Nasha'. It will sound like bragging, but when these producers The World Networks came to me with this offer, I instinctively knew it was the right project as my second film," Poonam said.

She believes "Nasha", which released in 2013, "suffered" due to "poor marketing". Poonam is "confident" about her second film.

"I am confident these producers will take my film wherever it is destined to go," she added.

Asked if there will be a lot of skin show, Poonam, who is known for wearing revealing clothes, said: "My fans won't be disappointed.

"But there is much more than just skin in this film. It is a very sensitive subject. That's all I can reveal right now."

The model-actress first grabbed the spotlight when she promised to strip down if India won the World Cup in 2011.

Kelly Brook has 'traumatic' childhood memories

Actress-model Kelly Brook has opened up about experiencing "horrific" and "traumatic" times during her growing up days.

She grew up in Kent, South East England.

Brook has revealed that although she enjoyed some aspects of growing up, she used to dread the weekends as a child as it meant going to the local pub with her parents who often got too drunk, resulting in regular fights.

"I used to dread the weekends growing up. Sundays especially. Sunday was pub day. We used to have a roast dinner every Sunday, and every other Sunday it would be burnt,` femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"My parents would spend too long in the, come home p****d and eat the burnt Sunday lunch. Then there would be a fight and the police would be called. Or my dad would drive off in his truck,` she added.

Brook also remembers one occasion when the police took her father, who died from cancer in 2007 , away kicking and screaming.

Speaking in an extract from her autobiography `Kelly Brook - Close Up`, printed in The Sun newspaper, she said: "One of the worst times was when my dad came back from the pub and started throwing furniture around, while Mum and I huddled out of the way.

"My mother, Sandra, called the police and my dad, Kenneth, tried to climb out of the window to escape. He broke his leg trying to avoid them and they had to carry him down the stairs ... It was one of the most traumatic events in my childhood."

However, it wasn't just her parents' rows that Brook had to witness.

"As kids we would be in the local pub ... From a very young age I would see fistfights, shouting matches. I'd hear terrible language and see so much violence. I remember one bloke having his head smashed against the bar, his nose exploding and blood pouring everywhere ... It was disgusting, so violent and horrific,` she said.

Despite all her romantic woes, Lopez, who was recently linked to "Dancing with the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, has not given up her search for 'Mr. Right'.

"I still believe in love. The nirvana man, he's out there somewhere. But you just have to work at it. You have to work at everything," she said.

Movie Review: 'Life of Crime' - an oft-seen double-cross drama

Cast: John Hawkes, Yasiin Bey, Jennifer Aniston, Tim Robbins, Isla Fisher, Mark Boone Junior and Will Forte;

Director: Daniel Schechter;

Rating: **1/2

If you're expecting a heavy duty, crime-laden, back alley action film, this is not it.

Set in 1978 in Detroit, "Life of Crime" is an intriguing suspense story about a set of small-time criminals who kidnap the wife of a well-to-do estate developer and demand a million dollar ransom for her release.

Louis (John Hawkes), along with his partner Ordell (Yasiin Bey), after discovering some of the financial secrets of Frank Dawson (Tim Robbins), a real estate magnate, decide to kidnap his trophy wife Mickey (Jennifer Aniston) when he goes on a trip to The Freeport, Bahamas.

The kidnapping is interrupted by the unexpected visit of Marshall (Will Forte), a family friend of the Dawsons, who shows up with the intention of having sex with Mickey.

The inept criminals after dealing with Marshall hold her captive in the home of one of their creepy friend, Richard (Mark Boone Jr.), a neo-Nazi with a peeping-tom problem.

Now on tenterhooks, they tell Mickey, "We don't know Marshall and what he has got to lose. But we wonder if he would stick his neck for you." And truly he does not.

Soon, hoping to extort the ransom, they call Frank and threaten him to pay the ransom or "you'll never see your wife again".

But to their surprise, they learn that he has filed for divorce and is going to marry Melanie (Isla Fisher), a younger and sexy woman who has her own agenda.

As expected, "Life of Crime" ends with a surprise alliance that makes perfect sense of random justice.

Treated as a black-comedy drama, writer-director Daniel Schechter maintains a perfect pulse of humour and suspense, balancing this character-driven caper story with spunky performances by Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes, Yasin Bey, Tim Robbins, Mark Boone Jr and Isla Fisher.

There's a fine chemistry between each characters but the script does not give them enough space to explore the depth of their relationships, making the entire effort a superficial 'sitcom-ish' farce.

The period of the late 1970s is well captured, with good production values and authentic background score.

Unfortunately, this faithful adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1978 released novel "The Switch", which in turn has been inspired by O' Henry's 1907 published short story - "The Ransom of Red Chief", has been beaten to the punch by the similar cultural tropes seen in earlier films like "Too Many Crooks", "Ruthless People", "The Ref" or "Hostile Hostages".

Nevertheless, "Life of Crime" is an engaging film, worth a watch on a lazy weekend afternoon.
