Aladin’s team will repaint the damaged portions of the walls where their posters had been put up
The protest against Aladin posters being put up on the graffiti wall painted for the Wall Project, on Senapati Bapat Marg, has now led Aladin’s team to rectify their mistake. The posters were pulled off, but the wall had already been damaged.
So, director Sujoy Gosh, music directors Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani and the lead pair Ritesh Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez have decided to repaint the wall where the movie posters were put up. The team will paint the wall today.
The posters were immediately removed when the complaint from concerned citizens reached the producers. Director Sujoy Ghosh commented on the incident, “We don’t know who put up the posters on these walls.
I completely agree that it was wrong. It is unfortunate that our film posters were put up there. We thought that we should make up for the damage. Then one of the guys in the team suggested that we should repaint the walls and Vishal agreed as well.”
Sujoy also apologised for the mistake, “We are sorry for the inconvenience. If I had it my way, this would never have happened.”
Being beautiful may not always work in your favour. This ringed true for Bipasha while she was shooting for her film
LAMHAA in Kashmir.
It so happened that during her shoot in Kashmir the security around her was so tight that she was completely surrounded by the men in uniform. With the beauty surrounded by the men, the situation became a bit intimidating for the actress and her discomfiture was quite vivid in her expression.
Sensing the predicament of his actress, the producer of the film Bunty Walia came to Bips rescue and ordered the security to leave her alone.
Speaking about the incident, Walia says, “Actually, it was after a long time that a full fledged shooting of such a large scale was happening in Kashmir. So, the crowds used to gather whenever we went out to shoot. Consequently our security was also beefed up to deal with the swelling crowds that used to throng the sets. On this particular day, when Bipasha was surrounded by security men, I could sense her discomfort at this heightened security blanket around her and had to intervene. Finally, the actress breathed a sigh of relief when the security around her was relaxed.”
LAMHAA is one of the few films that has been shot in Kashmir over the years and is slated to release early next year.
Often referred to as the Bruce Lee of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar or Akki, has come a long way since his entry into the film industry. Originally known as Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, Akshay is considered to be one of the most handsome actors in Bollywood. With a towering height of 6’, Akshay kumar aims higher, he plans to do films out of the ordinary.
Born to a non-filmy family of Amritsar, on 9th September, 1967, Akshay has one sister. He began as a waiter in Bangkok and simultaneously learnt martial arts in Hong kong. He then joined modeling in the 1990’s and eventually entered films.

Akshay married the elder daughter of the famous couple Dimple and Rajesh Khanna, Twinkle Khanna on 14th January 2001, after a fairly long courtship. Their son, Araav, is now 5 years old. From a long time he has been linked up with many of his co stars like Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty and Pooja Batra, but Akki believes that rumours should be left as they are..just rumours.
From his debut film, Saugandh, Akshay has come full circle. He has achieved what many just dream of; name fame and commercial success. With films like Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhag, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Garam Masala, this versatile actor has proved that even comedy is his forte and not just action..
