The song 'Lalla Lalla Lori' from Welcome 2 Karachi, which has gained a lot of momentum in recent times, is now caught up in a legal controversy, a week before its release. The song has been facing charges for maligning a Hindi nursery rhyme and hence an Ngo has sought a ban on the song according to a plea filed by them at a Delhi High Court. The Pil has been filed by the Ngo against the central government, Censor Board, the Delhi government and producers Pooja Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. As per that, the lyrics of the song 'Lalla Lalla Lori, Daaru Ki Katori' fall under the objectionable category.

There won't be a clash on 22nd May after all. Though, till about a week back, it had seemed that Welcome 2 Karachi and Tanu Weds Manu Returns would be arriving on the same date, producer Vashu Bhagnani has taken the first step. He has willfully decided to bring his Ashish R. Mohan directed film a week ahead. It would be a Thursday release though and the film would hit the screens on 28th May. This would give Tanu Weds Manu Returns a solo box office space on 22nd May. "Vashu Bhagnani is the last person to engage in battle of clashes. He is a businessman and values money. He understands that a clash never helps either of the two films in 90% of the cases," informs our source, "Instead of making any last minute decision, he took this step a fortnight in advance. That helps the marketing and promotion plans as...

We hear that Arshad's character will use marriage as a profession and target well settled middle class women who can support him monetarily. Though the story is about love and betrayal, it is being said that the film will be treated with humour.

After Rockstar, Nargis Fakhri was really excited to have signed her second film opposite superstar Akshay Kumar. But according to the recent reports, Nargis has lost out on the role.
The story goes that when Nargis was signed on for the film, Amitabh Bachchan was supposed to play her brother but he pulled out due to health reasons and date problems. Akhay, who is also the film's producer, roped in Mithun Chakraborty with whom he had recently worked in Housefull 2. But after they got Mithun on board, they realized that Nargis would not look like Mithunda's sister.
In the film, Mithun plays the role of gangster Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar and Akki was not willing to compromise on the role of the gangster so that meant he would have to let Nargis go as she would look too sophisticated to be an earthy gangster's sister. The makers are currently looking...
