Have you heard? Shed those extra kilos

Prabhas and Prashanth Neel

When an actor is working on multiple projects at the same time, the demands of one can go against those of another. Ask Prabhas, who had to gain some extra kilos for director Nag Ashwin's Project K. After recently finishing the second schedule of the film, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone, the actor was to resume filming Salaar with director Prashanth Neel. However, buzz from the south is that the KGF: Chapter 2 maker was not too pleased about the leading man's excess weight. He conveyed to the actor that they will resume filming only when he has lost the extra kilos. Last heard, Prabhas is training hard to achieve the desired result before he returns to Prashanth's set.

Case dismissed

Akshay Kumar's Samrat Prithviraj has cleared a legal hurdle, ahead of its release. A petition was filed against director Chandraprakash Dwivedi and Yash Raj Films, in the Delhi High Court for projecting the warrior king as a Rajput even though there is enough material available to indicate that he belonged to the Gurjar caste. The Delhi HC disposed of the petition while recording the statement on behalf of the makers that the historical drama is caste neutral and that there is no mention of King Prithviraj belonging either to the Rajput community or the Gurjar community. The film is only centered on glorifying the Indian warrior and king.

An offer none would refuse

After roping in Suriya for a cameo in Vikram, Kamal Haasan has reportedly offered him a full-fledged role in his next production. The megastar reportedly wants to take a backseat and watch the Singham actor perform. Haasan even gave him a few scripts which were initially meant for him, to choose from.. Wonder why we don't hear of such instances in Bollywood?
