Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez and Emraan Hashmi's new romantic track 'Deewane' from 'Selfiee' out now Makers of the recently released family entertainer film 'Selfiee' unveiled the new track of the film 'Deewane' on Friday. “After the trailer release there was no traction for the film. And it didn’t get any better as the release day approached. Releasing Selfiee directly to digital was an option that the producers explored seriously. But Akshay opposed it,” informs the source. Sefiee is a remake of a intelligent, witty well-informed Malayalam film Driving Licence. The original featured Prithviraj Sukumaran as an arrogant superstar who is taught a lesson in the most unexpected way by motor-vehicle inspector played by Suraj Venjaramoodu. The original film written by Sachy is witty, savagely satirical and engaging till the end. Akshay Kumar starts his US tour in Atlanta; dons a red lehenga as he dances alongside Nora Fatehi Actor Akshay Kumar is currently on the US tour in Atlanta for The Entertainers tour along with Nora Fatehi, Disha Patani, Mouni Roy and others. On Friday, the 'Selfie' star performed at the first show in Atlanta. A video from the show appeared online and it shows Akshay starting his act by donning a Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi played the two leads. Although no comparison to the two actors in the original, they played well against each other.

The good thing about An interesting premise offering an opportunity to talk about the transience of fame, the meaning of it in the time of social media, the nature of genuine stardom, the manipulation of media, the pitfalls of petty egos, and whether Big Bad Bollywood is really all that big or all that bad, is explored, but not really allowed to overshadow its larger-than-life hero Akshay Kumar himself. Akshay even does a piece-to-camera at the start as himself, dedicating the film to the “fans”. And while the fans have reciprocated the film industry’s faith most recently in powering Pathaan to super-success, Selfiee is dishearteningly not as nice to its little man as it is to its big guy.

Nushrratt Bharuccha on getting replaced in Dream Girl 2: :I didn’t have the heart to ask the makers, ‘why did you...’ The Kerala Story: Adah Sharma apologises as fan claims 'not a single show is available in Kolkata' It’s been a couple of decades since remakes of big-budget Telugu and Tamil blockbusters became all the rage in Bollywood. Over the years, transposing a men-centric masala-inflected culturally generic storyline from a southern to a northern Indian setting and replacing a big, bankable male star from the south with a big, bankable male star from the north became a safe bet for Hindi film producers and stars. Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood’s top men actors whose career has benefited from this formula. Malayalam cinema has proved to be a tougher nut to crack since this film industry is best known outside Kerala not for its overtly commercial fare lionising men stars, but for thoughtful, culturally rooted middle-of-the-road films. These are harder to relocate, which is the likely reason why Bollywood has mostly stayed away from them in the pre-pandemic era, with occasional attempts such as the heartwarming Katha Parayumpol remade to lukewarm effect as the Irrfan starrer Billu or Manichitrathazhu revisited as the qualitatively lesser but financially fruitful Bhool Bhulaiyaa with Akshay . In recent years with streaming platforms giving the pan-India audience easy access to cinema of all languages, Hindi remakes of south Indian films have proved to be more challengi...

Akshay Kumar is back with yet another remake, and fans have been thrilled about his face-off with Emraan Hashmi since the trailer dropped. Selfiee, directed by Raj Mehta, is the remake of 2019's Malayalam hit Driving Licence, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu. But the engaging script of the much-loved Malayalam movie doesn't find a match in the Hindi remake. The movie starts by introducing the character of Emraan Hashmi, an RTO sub-inspector named Om Prakash Aggarwal, who, along with his son, is a devoted fan of superstar Vijay Kumar (Akshay). As fans, Aggarwal and his son hope to click a selfie with their superstar someday. Vijay Kumar, who is in urgent need of a driving licence, arrives at the RTO office in Bhopal to meet Om Prakash in the hopes of collecting it and continuing the shoot for the climax scene that requires a car sequence. What appears to be a fanboy moment quickly turns into a clash between the two as the media intervenes for a piece of sensational news about a celebrity. From petty ego clashes to social media manipulation and #BoycottBollywood debates, Selfiee gives a glimpse into the other side of stardom. But the main theme centres around the fan-turned-foe moment, and the extent to which two men with bruised egos can go. Akshay pulls off the aura of a superstar, complete with swag and style. But, unlike the original movie, there is a lack of emotion that captures the audience's attention. Writer Rishabh Sharma has tweaked the story t...
