    Taapsee Pannu. Sigh. This woman had me in her grip since PinkΒ and then with Mulk, then BadlaΓ’Β¦the list just goes on. Basically, I now know what to expect when I see her on-screen: Badassery.

    © NH Studioz
    Her latest movie ThappadΒ started making waves ever since its powerful trailer was dropped online.


    People were already convinced that Taapsee was on the way to add another Γ’hitΓ’ in her kitty, as a glimpse into her powerful performance, left people wanting more.

    The Anubhav Sinha-directed movie, basically, holds a giant mirror to the society showing them the underlying patriarchy in our society, which is internalised to such an extent that one just ends up overlooking the evil that it is. Something that is bound to make most people squirm in their seats.Β 

    © T-Series
    Thappad has finally hit the screens today and as expected, people are raving about the movie, its plot, the concept, the hard underlying message, but most importantly, Taapsee.

    This person is impressed, indeed.
    Just completed #Thappad and it was just wowwwww! What a moral behind the movie. You have done a great job @taapsee as usual. Thank you for giving this type of movie. Every man and woman must watch this movie.
    Γ’ Dhameliya Dhruvil (@DDhruvil7) February 25, 2020 TaapseeΓ’s best work ever? He thinks so.

    #Thappad is a film for everyone. Even though it fights patriarchy, itÒs informed, sensitive, and creates an environment that doesnÒt glorify any of the two sides. @anubhavsinha Hats off ð¼. @taapsee delivers easily one of her best performances ï¸ð¼
    Γ’ Jash (@jashtchill) February 28, 2020 A must-watch.

    Just watched #Thappad & I highly recommend it. Beautiful scenes, brilliant dialogues, and an extremely delicate and important subject dealt with immense sensitivity. @taapsee Γ―ΒΈ take a bow.
    A must watch movie. #ThappadReview #Taapsee #DomesticViolence
    Γ’ Neha Desai (@neaadesai) February 28, 2020 Kudos, Mr Director.

    Just a slap
    Just a slap
    Just a slap
    Just a slap
    Just a slap
    No, it is not just a slap
    Awesome movie sir @anubhavsinha @taapsee #Thappad
    Γ’ Mahitha (@Mahithaspeaks) February 28, 2020 Fair warning.

    #Thappad is Powerful & Technically sound with @taapsee delivering performance of a lifetime while @anubhavsinha is technically sound and leaves an impact.
    Masses will find hard to connect. #ThappadReview - Γ’Β­Γ’Β­Γ’Β­ (3/5) pic.twitter.com/lfMLQKNiKI
    Γ’ Abhishek V Parihar (@BlogDrive) February 28, 2020 And just like everything else, this too has its flipside as the hashtag #BoycottThappad splashed across Twitter.

    Oh, boy.

    Thappad se divorce
    Ghar todne wali movie#BoycottThappad
    Γ’ Bharat Sa (@BharatSa8) February 19, 2020 Wait. What?

    We boycott @taapsee movie thappad. As see is the part of #UrbanNaxals and #TukdeTukdeGang. We don't want to see Naxals movie. #boycottthappad
    Γ’ Manwender Singh (@singh_manwender) February 26, 2020 The dedication is real.

    #boycottthappad Not just boycott, we wonΓ’t watch this movie even in its pirated form.
    Γ’ SR India 1 (@sanjayrais) February 26, 2020 Ok. That escalated quickly.

    If you're a #Hindu please #boycottthappad ...

    Even if u do not support #KapilMishra or d government atleast you should be a patriot.

    Boycotting #Thappad is a patriotic move because @taapsee supports those who are doing riots in nation's capital. They killed #AnkitSharma
    Γ’ Kudrati Virus (@trolling_daddy) February 28, 2020
    Well, did people think Taapsee was just going to let trolls go around and do their thing? The star, while speaking to ETimes reacted to #BoycottThappad trending on Twitter and unsurprisingly, seemed rather unperturbed.

    Γ’I think personal opinions of actors should not affect their profession and I donΓ’t really think it does to an extent. It takes about 1000-2000 tweets to trend a certain hashtag. Does that really affect a film? I donΓ’t think so.
    © T-Series
    I might have different social and political views from a lot of people but that does not mean people will not go and watch the film. An actor is never bigger than a film. A film has hundreds of people involved in it. It is stupid to decide whether or not you will watch a movie based on an actorΓ’s socio-political views.Γ’ Taapsee said.

    © T-Series
    In the end, the choice is yours, people- watch it or donΓ’t watch it. However, going out of your way to ensure no one watches it is a bit, hmmΓ’Β¦whatΓ’s the word I am looking for hereΓ’Β¦oh, Γ’juvenileΓ’, donΓ’t you think? ItΓ’s a free country and letΓ’s keep it that way, please.

    If youΓ’ve been wanting to use a trackpad with the Apple iPad, your wish might just come true this year. Apple is apparently planning to release a new iPad Keyboard that will have a trackpad built-in for users. If the cover exists, the iPad can potentially turn into a proper laptop similar to the companyΓ’s MacBooks. The rumour comes from the website The InformationΒ and according to them, the accessory is expected to launch alongside the new iPad Pro.Β 

    © Unsplash/Danaiel Korpai
    iPad users have been requesting some form of mouse support for a while and this keyboard would be AppleΓ’s next move to making the iPad a good replacement for laptops. iPadOs already has mouse support but is currently limited to certain functions. Of course, we still have to see how it would work with iPadOS and how Apple integrates the trackpad support. Currently, the iPad lets users use mouse via the Assistive Touch feature that can be found in the accessibility menu. However, the mouse doesnΓ’t appear as a pointer but instead as an opaque circle for users. The new trackpad cover could potentially change how we use the iPad and transform it into a fully functional laptop.Β 

    © Unsplash/Danaiel Korpai
    Previous rumours have suggested the next iPad Pro will come with a backlit Smart KeyboardΒ this fall, similar to MacBook keyboards. However, there was no mention of the trackpad in these previous rumours. We may have to wait a few more months to see how Apple connects all the dots and implement a comprehensive mouse feature. It seems clear that Apple wants the iPad to become more laptop-like and if these rumours are true, Apple is already heading in the right direction.Β

    If youΓ’re the usual business graduate type, chances are that Powerpoint presentations are a matter of life and death for you. WeΓ’re all used to the trials and tribulations involved with explaining dull facts to a room of tired and overworked colleagues - but if youΓ’re looking for some serious MBA-style inspiration, you neednΓ’t look further than our Prime Minister.

    © Reuters
    After the Γ’Namaste TrumpΓ’ event at AhmedabadΓ’s Motera Stadium, POTUS Donald Trump went on to carry out bilateral negotiations with PM Modi at Hyderabad House. According to Hindustan Times, the PM decided on a rather unusual method of convincing Trump that his misgivings regarding Indo-US trade deficits were unfounded - his weapon of choice? A slideshow presentation on a handy iPad.

    Using the gadget, PM Modi showed President Trump what India had done during his tenure to reduce the trade deficit from $31 billion in 2014 to $24.2 billion in 2018Γ’a decline of 22% over four years. He also highlighted US exports of coal, oil and natural gas to India - a trade marker that went from 0 in 2013 to $9 billion today, and is predicted to reach $12 billion by 2021.

    A few other Γ’bullet pointsΓ’ that were raised highlighted the importance of Indian students in AmericaΓ’s education system - a $6 billion addition to their economy. ThereΓ’s also the deepening military trade relationship between India and the US - just two days ago, the countries signed a deal where India would be paying $3 billion to acquire a platoon of 30 helicopters - from the Apache attack helicopter platform to Lockheed Martin-SikorskyΓ’s SEAHAWK multi-mission helis.

    © Reuters
    Not too shabby for a set of talking points. The PM seemed quite adamant at making the most of TrumpΓ’s visit. However, during a pre-lunch time window, he cornered the President with another set of talking points, this time about the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act and the nullification of Article 370 of the Constitution.

    © Reuters
    According to sources, the PM illustrated that Γ’the proportion of those belonging to minority communities in Pakistan and other Muslim nations in IndiaΓ’s neighbourhood, including Christians, has fallen and that the law is aimed only at providing security and dignity to those mistreated in the neighbourhood.Γ’ He explained that CAA was not aimed at depriving any one of citizenship rights, people present at the meeting said to HT.

    On the issue of J&K, Modi seemed to have little to say - meeting attendees said that the PM Γ’explained how despite all his efforts, Pakistan was targeting India through terrorists.Γ’

    It isnΓ’t everyday that an actor manages to cross every linguistic and cultural barrier to make a place for themselves in the hearts of millions, all at once. But Baahubali megastar Prabhas managed to pull off this feat effortlessly. He is more than just a heartthrob. Fans love his screen presence and swear by the magic he can spell with his performances.

    © Arka Media Works
    So, despite the Saaho debacle, fans didnΓ’t lose faith in their favourite star, and perhaps thatΓ’s why people absolutely lost it when PrabhasΓ’ project was announced yesterday. The director of the film, Nag Ashwin took to Twitter to make the official announcement and said:

    Shoot year end lo start...maybe 2021 end lo release...too early to say anything else, expect a big thanks to prabhas garu...kontha mandi pan-india film antunnaru...adi tappu...pan-india eppudo kottesaaru...idi pan-world darlings :)) #PrabhasNagAshwin https://t.co/9KnLQqbVgm
    Γ’ Nag Ashwin (@nagashwin7) February 26, 2020 Nag Ashwin who directed the superhit Telugu film Mahanati, claimed in his latest tweet that this upcoming film with Prabhas wonΓ’t be a pan-India film like most people are claiming, but instead itΓ’ll be a whole lot bigger and better to become a pan-world movie.

    © Twitter
    Though not much is known about the film, reports claim that Prabhas will be playing a superhero in the film. ThatΓ’s not all, allegedly many big names from the entertainment industry will be part of the project, which is scheduled to go on the floors by the end of this year.

    © Twitter
    PrabhasΓ’ mega-budget film is expected to hit the screens in late 2021, and reportedly Nag Ashwin told India Today that it wonΓ’t be a remake or a biopic. Rumour also has it that Jr NTR might be collaborating with Nag Ashwin on this film, and shall be the big project of 2020 because of the star cast that is expected to come onboard for the project.Β Β

    The boon of the digital world has opened up a new can of worms Γ’ crimes we never thought could be linked to our digital existence. But thatΓ’s the world we live in today. From spreading fake news to living your life on the web, several careless moves can lead to big consequences. The new crime drama on MX PlayerΒ KashmakashΒ is bringing forth these realities of modern day crime.Β 
    Moving away from theΒ Savdhaan IndiasΒ of the telly world,Β KashmakashΒ is carving its niche audience with an entertaining twist. The show is an anthology that narrates five unique stories of modern crime. They play on the dilemma of the victims and how one wrong move changes their fate. From a housewife who finds fame on social media to a celebrity couple that gives unrestricted access to their Γ’online fansΓ’, the show takes off from the victimΓ’s perspective, giving us insight into their lives and choices.
    MX Player
    Starring some of the most popular names of telly world like Sharad Malhotra, Anjum Fakih, Eijaz Khan, Abhishek Kapur, Abigail Pande, Lavina Tandon and Vahbiz Dorabzee, this show is a must-watch on our list. The talented star cast takes us on this journey with different stories Γ’ a social media influencer who refuses to come to terms with her mental disorder and finds herself at the mercy of a blackmailer; a drug addict who is unable to quit and goes on a downward spiral when she makes a shocking discovery and the admin of a village WhatsApp group who peddles in fake news without realising its far-reaching impact.


    With each episode, the show features an alternate ending. There are always two ways to deal with a crime Γ’ the right and the wrong way. This twisted storytelling shows us how things can spiral downwards with one wrong move. It also shows us how one right move can save you from going down the wrong path for life.

    After Bigg Boss, the average Indian TV content consumer is currently glued to an extension of the reality show called Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, which is basically a Γ’swayamvarΓ’ for BB contestants Paras Chhabra and Shehnaz Gill who created a lot of controversies and enough buzz for fans to continue watching them again. While the pattern of this new reality show is being questioned on social media, courtesy the weird ways the contestants are trying to woo the celebrity groom and bride but one pretty face from the show is currently going viral on social media. Heena Panchal, who is one of the contestants vying for ParasΓ’ attention, is actually a Marathi actress but the nation now feels she is basically a doppelganger of the gorgeous Malaika Arora.

    Oviously Heena is apparently used to this compliment coming her way often because she entered the show as she grooved to Anarkali Disco Chali and Chaiyya Chaiyya. Her entry surprised everyone, including Paras who couldnΓ’t help but exclaim how similar she looked to Malaika.Β

    The fact that Maniesh Paul is a diehard fan of sneakers shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who follows him on any social media. From some really zany ReeboksΒ to a pair of Nikes that looked like they were handpainted by his kids, some of the sneakers that we have seen him wear are really commendable ones, pieces that we would give an arm to steal from his closet.
    Β© Instagram/manieshpaul
    We have also often spotted him carrying some of the most exquisite and jaw-droppingly expensive accessories that one can think of buying. Like the time when he was carrying a fanny pack that was more expensive than a flight ticket to London. Or for that matter, that time when he carried a bag that was more expensive than a family hatchback? Clearly, the man has some expensive taste.
    Β© Instagram/manieshpaul
    Having said that, it does not always mean that you will spot Maniesh Paul wearing only expensive stuff. In fact, on the contrary, the sneakers that he wore as a part of his most recent ensemble was a pair that was quirky, a thing of beauty, and best of all, a pair that's actually quite affordable.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    But first, let's have a thorough look at his outfit.
    Maniesh is decked out in athleisure pieces from Superdry; as quirky the jacket is, we actually quite dig the Camo International Jogger that he's wearing. For a pair of camo joggers, they have sort of weird and unconventional camo prints.
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Finally, coming to the sneakers, Maniesh is wearing a pair of Nike Cortez Kenny 4 House Shoes. What makes the sneakers noteworthy is the fact that they were designed by Kendrick Lamar, The slip-on sneakers have a quilted finish, and has a very futuristic vibe to it.Β 
    Β© Nike
    Considering that the sneakers are a cracker to look at, and the fact that they were designed by Kendrick Lamar himself, you would assume that the sneakers would cost a bomb. Well, not quite. These puppies have been listed for Rs 9,000 on Nike. You can easily find a number of deals online and find these sneakers for about half that price, at Rs 5,000.
    Β© Nike
    Considering how often we have seen Maniesh wear sneakers that were jaw-droppingly expensive, these are actually quite affordable.

    All in all, a cool pair if you ask us.

    IntrovertsΒ are often considered to be shy, rude or just the kind of people who prefer not to have fun, in general. Add to that an individualΓ’s tendency to be anxious in public and you can imagine how Gaurav Taneja aka the Γ’Flying BeastΓ’ used to be like as a child.
    As a commercial airline pilot, a fitness expert, a YouTuber and a daily vlogger, Gaurav is the personification of Γ’YOLOΓ’. He wants to do everything that he likes and truly believes in.Β 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Most of what he does requires him to literally put himself out there on the internet, in front of millions of his subscribers, almost every single day. As a fitness expert, especially, he has to be shirtless on camera, showing every bit of transformation that his body goes through. For a once-introvert like Gaurav, this would not have been possible back then.

    So, how did he change himself from being the kid who struggled to talk to strangers to becoming this superstar who is often the one to strike up a conversation with anyone, be it at his gym, the airport, or even on the street, with a tripod and a camera in his hand?Β 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    We got in touch with the Flying Beast himself to understand how he made this mental transformation in his life.

    Lesson One: Origin Of Introversion
    Γ’I feel being an introvert comes from our education system and where we come from. I belong to Kanpur and there, teaching young kids how to interact was a waste of time. We were told to focus only on studies. Γ’Number achhe anne chahiye, yeh hamara goal thaΓ’,Γ’ he said.Β 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’Now if I look back, the numbers I got, they are of no use to me. Yes, I have a good education but the soft skills are equally important.

    Γ’That is where, I think, introversion develops and it gets carried forward to adulthood. And it is very difficult for most of the people to come out of that,Γ’ he adds.
    Lesson Two: Opening Up To The World
    Γ’When I was a kid, I used to be extremely shy. I used to feel like a lion when I was a part of a group but on my own, I was terrified of talking to anyone,Γ’ Gaurav said.
    Γ’The shift from staying in my own shell to opening up to the world started during my college days. I used to dance in my room by myself. One day, I went and gave an audition for the dance society. I didnΓ’t think I was very good but because I hadnΓ’t started bodybuilding back then, my body was a lot more free and I was decent with all Michael Jackson moves.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’The day after my audition, when I went to the canteen to get breakfast, everyone started calling me a stud. Γ’Bhai tu toh stud nikla yaarΓ’ they started saying. That was my first boost of confidence,Γ’ he said.

    At that moment, Gaurav realised that if a person has accomplished something significant and if people started acknowledging him, it helps him not only earn respect but also bring a lot of confidence.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’While that dance audition was a fluke, I learnt an important lesson from it. After that, even when I started bodybuilding, the same thing happened to me yet again. I slowly realised that I had to make myself well accomplished. ThatΓ’s what makes people look up to you.Γ’

    Lesson Three: Getting Out Of The Comfort Zone
    Γ’When I started making videos, I used to shoot the footage on my laptopΓ’s webcam,Γ’ he said. Γ’There used to be a small lag between what the camera recorded and what it showed on the screen and when I looked at my video, I used to feel extremely shy.Β 
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    So, I covered the screen with a white piece of paper and continued talking about the topic of the video. I think I spoke for about 15 minutes before I hit Γ’pauseΓ’. That was my first cut and that is exactly how I uploaded the video on YouTube. It is still on the internet just like that,Γ’ says the Flying Beast.

    Γ’You have got to forget about the inhibitions of your mind. Once you do, you will be able to work a lot more efficiently.Γ’
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Normally, fitness-based YouTubers start their careers in their early 20s. I began recording when I was 30. However, I suffered from the same problems and had the same inhibitions. You have to understand that whenever you start something new, the first few steps you take will be crap. There are certain things you have to go through if you want to make it to the top.Γ’

    Lesson Four: Getting Things Done
    Throughout his life, Gaurav has been the kind of man who gets things done. He cracked the JEE examination in the first try, he won the first bodybuilding competition in Delhi in the first year of starting his fitness journey and the YouTube channel worked just fine as well. But, how?
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’I think this is a very important question. When you think about doing something, the first thing you say to yourself, Γ’yeh toh humse na ho payega,Γ’ it is too difficult,Γ’ he says. Γ’My recommendation is that you should at least try.Γ’ When I started making YouTube videos, I thought Γ’there were so many bigshots in the business who were far more experienced than me, I will stand nowhere near themΓ’,Γ’ he says.Β 

    Γ’If there is a guy in college who wants to talk to a girl and he starts thinking Γ’why would she be impressed by me? There are so many better guys in the college, why would she talk to us?Γ’ What if the girl also feels the same way and is waiting for you to approach her?Γ’
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’Same goes for opportunities. At least try to make the first move, success will come,Γ’ he adds.

    When Gaurav started preparing for the competition back in 2013, he questioned his ability to make it through. Delhi is a big city and this Kanpur lad wanted to conquer it? HowΓ’s that even possible?
    Γ’Nonetheless, I gave the competition my best and when the result came out, not only did I win it, the difference between me and the guy who came second was massive,Γ’ he says.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’Even without a coach or a godfather in the business, if I came this far then I must be doing something right, right? At least try,Γ’ he explains. Γ’80% of people lose because they donΓ’t even try. So you are only competing with those 20% of the guys who are genuinely trying.Γ’Β 

    Γ’When I appeared for JEE, my coach told me that around 3.5 lakh people will be taking the exam but my competition was only with 25,000 to 30,000 people who have actually prepared for the exam, Γ’baaki to tehelne aae theΓ’.Γ’
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Lesson Five: Coping With Failures

    When asked about all the failures he had faced in his life, he instantly went back to his days as a kid who failed a Hindi exam in school. Γ’I got a red line under my marks in my report card and got scolded heavily for it at home,Γ’ he said. What made him go beyond everything he went through as an adult and back to his days in Kanpur, where he failed a minor test? What was so special about it? Nobody knows, but it did.Β 
    But Gaurav came back to a relatively recent failure of his, back when he started making his YouTube videos. Γ’I won my first bodybuilding competition in 2013 and became really famous locally. People who were serious about fitness knew that there was this pilot guy who could do 200 kg deadlifts just like that and who had won the competition,Γ’ he said.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’People started believing that I used to do something which was scientifically sound and they wanted to know how I did it. I used to train for one hour daily, out of which I used to spend 15-20 minutes answering questions of the other guys who used to work out at the same gym.

    Γ’As a result, the gym trainers got annoyed with me, they thought I was stopping people from taking personal training from them. So they told me to leave the gym. They didn't even let me finish my workout. They asked me to pick up my bag and just leave,Γ’ he said.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’I was very disappointed about it and told my wife about it as well. I felt insulted and angry,

    But now that I have come so far in my career, I feel like Γ’bhagwan jo bhi karta hai achha hi karta haiΓ’, now I get calls from gyms to go and train at their place. They request me to shoot videos there and tag their accounts in the videos that I upload,Γ’ he says with a smiling face.
    Lesson Six: Living In The Era Of Toxic Social Media:
    As hard as it is for people to realise, social media has become a very big part of their lives. The provision of people commenting on whatever you do and sharing unsolicited opinion has become more of a norm now.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    For people whose careers depend on the internet, it can have a severe mental impact which can not only affect their work but also their personal life. An introvert has to learn how to deal with such toxicity.Β 

    Γ’If people Γ’loveΓ’ you because of your physique, what is the point of such love?Γ’ Gaurav asks.
    Γ’You should be confident enough that you arenΓ’t the first fat guy in the world. The guy who comments negatively on your video is definitely 10 kgs heavier than you.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@taneja.gaurav)
    Γ’Also, I think that sometimes you should deal with them first hand. Γ’Aap kuch bhi bol rahe ho and main sunta rahu, that is not right,Γ’ he adds. "You should not take shit every time.Γ’

    And there you have it, an introvertΓ’s guide on thriving in the digital era by Gaurav Γ’Flying BeastΓ’ Taneja. Hope it helps you out.

    Karte hain hum pyaar Mr India se, humko milna sau baar Mr India se. Every 90s kid grew up on multiple doses of this song, and a deep-seated desire of stumbling upon their very own Γ’golden watch of invisibilityΓ’. The possibilities it inspired were unlimited and managed to fan quite a few daydreaming sessions.

    This was back in the 90s, and if latest reports are to believed, the cult classic Mr India is now about to get a modern day remake in the form of a trilogy to be helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. I am no judge, but I am kind of apprehensive about the whole affair and donΓ’t know if this is good news after all.

    I happen to be one of the millions who got to enjoy the very first superhero movie Bollywood ever produced, and surf the excitement when its popularity peaked. So, it shouldnΓ’t surprise you that I attach a sense of sentimentality to the film, its cast and the entire experience it rendered to the eight-year-old mini me.

    If this is what the OG Mr India means to me after three decades of its release, imagine what it means to the makers who conceptualised it and were a part of the entire creative process since the very beginning? We cannot expect to come even close to how dear they must hold it to them.

    Now imagine somebody taking your brainchild with plans to resurrect it and retell the story very differently from how you did. Something that you created and turned into a classic, to be taken and recreated with not so much as an intimation as the original creator.

    Will it anger you, make you speak out and question how ethics work in the creative space? Well, thatΓ’s exactly what has happened with Mr India director Shekhar Kapur, who cannot seem to come to terms with the fact that his film is being remade without keeping him in the loop, let alone having a consultation with him.

    I kind of see where he is coming from. Intellectual property is every artistΓ’s greatest asset after all, but I suppose legal loopholes make for a much better argument (read excuse) when professional ethics and basic etiquettes have been compromised.

    Ever since the news about Mr India remake broke on social media, director Shekhar has been trying to understand if he has no legal say over the matter.Β 
    No one has even asked me or mentioned to me about this film called Mr India 2. I can only guess that they using the title to get a big weekend. For they cannot use the characters/story without permission from the original creators of the film. https://t.co/Set5eDH63j
    Γ’ Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) February 18, 2020We sit with writers from day one, but are not the writer. Help actors hone performances but are not actors. Develop and create visual language of film. Slave hours over editing consoles. Directors lead and inspire every aspect of a film and have no creative rights? #MrIndia
    Γ’ Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) February 22, 2020Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is equally miffed with the latest development and questioned how the project was never discussed with her father Anil Kapoor, the OG Γ’Mr IndiaΓ’ if I may say so, and the director before it was given a green signal.

    But you see, despite the fact that all these points are very much valid, the power lies in legalities. While there is no denying the fact that the script writers and directors should always have a say in a film that they created regardless of who holds the copyrights to it, the Copyright Act, 1957 says itΓ’s otherwise.

    Legally speaking, the producers are said to be the ones to initiate the movie making and therefore, under section 2(uu) of the Copyright Act, 1957 producers are the authors of the cinematograph of the film under section 2(d)(v) of the Copyright Act, 1957 and therefore also the legal copyright holders.

    In our case, that would be Boney Kapoor who produced Mr India and reportedly chose to later sell off the rightsΒ to Zee Network, which is now producing Mr India 2.0 along with Reliance Entertainment.
    It so happens that even though more than one individualΓ’s creative talent and hard work goes into making a work of art, the lawΒ gives all the authority to the producers to make decisions on everybodyΓ’s behalf, maybe even without even so much as an intimation.
    The argument on a remake of #MrIndia is not that no one took permission from me or even bothered to tell me.

    The question is. If you are remaking a feature film, based on a directorΓ’s very successful work, does the Director have no creative rights over what he/she created?

    People arenΓ’t too happy about the news either, with many claiming that this would be an epic fail and that nobody should be allowed to mess with the classic film. I wonder what would come off it now anyway because the rulebook says you have no right to have a say over your creation because you only invested your creative talent and skills into creating the art, whereas the producers invested a whole lot more - money. That of course makes them almighty, right?

    But itΓ’s so wrong! I almost want to call for a boycott on this one.
