AKSHAY’S LAXMII LIE BOMBS

-

RECENTLY released film Laxmii has received terrible reviews right across the board, but that didn’t stop someone associated with the Bollywood stinker from sharing an obviously huge lie with media. They proudly claimed Laxmii broke the record set by Dil Bechara for most views in the first 24 hours, when that is mathematic­ally impossible. Dil Bechara was made available for free globally as a tribute to late star Sushant Singh Rajput and reportedly gained 75 million views in the first 24 hours. Laxmii is only available to Disney Hotstar subscriber­s, which reportedly number less than nine million, so it was impossible for it to break the record. This adds to an increasing number of untruths lead star Akshay Kumar (above) has shared with the media in recent months.

Look out next week for my interview with hot-right-now Indian actor Vikrant Massey, who has had four movie releases this year.

Acclaimed British author Nikesh Shukla’s next novel Brown Baby will be released on February 11, 2021 and is available now for pre-order.

Actress Srishti Jain gifted herself a new car for her birthday. The Hamari Wali Good News star brought herself an urban cruiser and said: “I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy and fond of cars. I love big monster cars.”

Being on Bigg Boss 14 is clearly giving Indian actress Jasmin Bhasin a popularity boost and this was illustrate­d by her crossing three million Instagram followers recently.

Free YouTube channel See Prime continues to deliver great content and recently premiered horror short film Chambeli, which stars popular Pakistani stars Aijaz Aslam and Zoya Nasir.
