Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, has started her career in Bollywood as a singer. She has already sung for two songs, one is from Kunal Kohli’s Phir Se, and Prakash Jha’s soon-to-release cop drama, Jai Gangaajal. On this Prakash Jha says, “I heard the song she had sung for Kunal Kohli and liked her voice. It’s lovely, silky and very deep, I felt it was just what our devotional song, ‘Sab dhan maati’, required so I asked my composers, Salim-Sulaiman, to try her out. They liked her too and we recorded the track last month in two sessions over a couple of hours.”
The film has 12 songs and all of them play in the background. The song crooned by Amruta is part of a sequence which features Jha himself, he informs, “I play Priyanka’s junior, Deputy Superintendent of Police,...

It is settled, sealed and dusted now for filmmaker Kunal Kohli and writer Jyoti Kapoor. When Kunal's acting debut for Phir Se seemed under threat, courtesy Jyoti alleging plagiarism charges against him for similarities with another story written by her, it seemed that the film had met a deadlock. Even though the promo of the film had been unveiled quite some back, everything came to a standstill when the matter reached court. Well, not anymore as Kunal is free to release the film now. In return, Jyoti would be paid an amount of Rs. 25 lakhs as settlement. This is as per the decision that has been taken at the Supreme Court. "I am happy as now we all can move on," says Kunal who took the Court's suggestion of 'mutual settlement' in his stride and agreed to the logistics, "The Court did make it clear that the film's release could...

Few weeks ago, Kunal Kohli found himself in the eye of a storm when writer Jyoti Kapoor filed a suit against the Kohli for copyright infringement stating that the story of Kunal's film Phir Se was inspired by one of her scripts. Post the filing, the court had levied an interim stay on the release of the film Phir Se featuring Kunal Kohli and Jennifer Winget. However now we hear that the Bombay High Court has vacated the interim stay on the release of the film.
In a judgment passed by the appeal bench presided over by justices V M Kanade and B P Colabawalla, the court vacated the interim stay granted by a single bench of the high court few months ago on the film's release after it found prima facie similarities between this film's script and another movie R.S.V.P.

Earlier this year, filmmaker Kunal Kohli found himself embroiled in a legal battle with writer Jyoti Kapoor, after the latter claimed that that Kunal's forthcoming film Phir Se had been plagiarized from her work. In the ensuing battle the verdict kept tilting, but never settling the issue. Now we hear that the court has ruled to delay the release of the film till a final verdict is reached. Tweeting about the same Kunal Kohli posted, "What I have learnt from this experience is that the free exchange of ideas is no longer permissible and I would go a step further to say it expressly prohibited. The debate on copyright and plagiarism is settled, it is neither. The industry has to move towards a more closed and protective environment with regards to work in progress. What is left to be decided is merely one principal aspect, what is the value of...
