After Four Fiction of Popular Author Chetan Bhagat came as a Movie Now Chetan Bhagat has once again teamed up with Disney UTV, this time for the screen adaptation of his latest bestseller Revolution 2020, to be directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. The novel, which revolves around the lives of childhood friends — Gopal, Raghav and Aarti — will be made into a drama film with strong roles for the three main leads.

"It is an intense love story set against the backdrop of corruption in the education sector, which affects millions across the country. I can't wait for the three characters to be cast and brought to life," says the author, who earlier collaborated with the production house on Kai Po Che.

Speaking about his decision to direct the movie, Raj Kumar says, "When I read the novel, I was quite moved. It is a very simple and heartfelt story about being young, being confused, being in love, getting corrupt... I am looking forward to writing and directing this book for the screen."
Siddharth Roy Kapur, Managing Director, Studios, Disney UTV, adds, "We are excited to have played the catalyst in bringing Chetan and Raj Kumar together. Chetan had shared the draft of his book with us even before it was published and we instantly reacted to its cinematic potential. It has an incredibly well-graphed storyline and the issues it deals with are those that today's youth will instantly relate to and identify with."
The screenplay of the film is currently underway and is expected to go on floors mid-2014.

I entered the show with a mission to make everyone laugh and get a good physique but due to my bad health I was unable to give my best on the show," Rajat told PTI after his eviction.

During the first week, Rajat, who played Salman Khan's friend Tsumani in Bodyguard, had a decent stay in the house and took active participation in the household chores and performed all the tasks diligently.

Bigg Boss 2013 Day 12 Highlights: Asif Azim nominates Tanishaa as captain

Till now there has been loads of surprises, controversies, issues and emotional drama in the reality show Bigg Boss 7.The new entrant in the Bigg Boss house Asif Azim seems to have added more enthusiasm to the show on his very first day. 

In the morning, when Kushal and Gauahar are chatting in the morning, Asif starts chit chatting with them and tries to mingle with the hell-mates as well. Asif, Kushal and Gauahar jelled up fast and started hanging out together. Kamya and Pratyusha are seen talking about this triad and anticipating them to be the next players.  

Sangram seems to have found peace on the hell side and is seen teaching yoga to the inmates of that part of the house.Later in the day, Bigg Boss calls Asif in the confession room and asks him to nominate two heaven inmates who are capable of taking on the role of the captain. On the basis of his interaction with the housemates, Asif announces the names of Tanisha and Armaan. Unlike last week, Bigg Boss allows the hell inmates to choose a captain through a ballet system. Tanisha gets the maximum votes and becomes the captain for the second consecutive time. 

Arman seems to be unhappy with this decision and believes that everybody should get a fair chance to become a captain.In the afternoon, the housemates get together to discuss the luxury budget. Bigg Boss later announces that only hell mates are allowed to choose their needs. Also, they have a right to demand for the things that they have chosen in the luxury budget at any given time. In the evening, Bigg Boss asks the heaven-mates to make a wish at the wishing wall.

Kamaya was called in the confession room by Bigg Boss to share her feelings regarding the issue show down she had with Gauahar.

Kamya explains that Gauahar has played politics and this is what has been bothering her. She later bursts out into tears remembering her daughter. Bigg Boss assures her that her daughter is fine and doing great.

The day comes to end with Bigg Boss assigning Shilpa to get all the housemates together and get them to perform task to introduce Asif to the other housemates. According to the task, every member in the house has to tag other housemate basic characteristics written on a card.

Later, the person who has been tagged needs to guess the name of the housemate who gave him/her that tag. Tanisha is leading this session and ensuring that everybody gets a fair chance.

During this session, Kamya lashes out of Gauahar and tags her as ‘Jhoothi’. She connects this back to their argument regarding the swap and blames her over and over again to have lied to them about nominations.

Pratyusha Banerjee's ex-love Makrand Malhotra to enter Bigg Boss house?

Looking to up the ante and consequently the drama on the show, Bigg Boss, reportedly will house Balika Vadhu actress Pratyusha Banerjee's ex - Makrand Malhotra.The famous 'bahu' broke up with businessman-boyfriend Makrand after filing a police report about his alleged abusive behaviour. Since Bigg Boss loves to stir up dirt from the past, and putting people on edge, Makrand has earned his ticket in to the house.

This, after she fought with Ratan in last night's episode who made a jab at her failed two-year relationship with Makrand.

Bigg Boss may be predictable in that he always has a trick up the ol' sleeve, but he was never one to repeat them. But this time he did just that. Season 4. Trick. Season 7. Repeat. Case in point: Sara Khan and Ali Merchant. While the 'Ram Milaayi Jodi' actress was in the house from the start, Ali followed soon. The live-in couple who was roped in for more drama, shocked viewers when they decided to get married in the Bigg Boss house. It didn't last, and eventually things turned bitter with Ali going as far as claiming he 'married only for publicity'.

We can't help but wonder, is Bigg Boss - the perennial meddler - hoping for a similar turn of events? Markrand reportedly threw a big party to celebrate his break up with Pratyusha. So, now there's no way in hell (the Bigg Boss version included) that she's going to be happy to learn of this itty bitty news.

I am so happy to have experienced this," she said.Asked who she thinks will win the title, the 26-year-old said: "I don't know what people like to see...bitchy people or nice ones. It depends on what people enjoy watching."

I will watch it everyday. I am sad that I am no longer in the house, but I am also glad as I am not keeping too well," she said.

Hazel is set to start work on her next movie, in which she plays the lead role."I have a movie, which I am yet to start. It's called 'Bold Bollywood'. I am sure they will be happy that I am out of 'Bigg Boss'," she said.The other participants who are still contesting for the prize money in the house are Pratyusha, Kamya, Kushal Tandon, Gauhar Khan, Apoorva Agnihotri and his wife Shilpa, Tanisha Mukherjee, Ratan Rajput, Rajat Rawail, Armaan Kohli, VJ Andy, Anita Advani, Sangram Singh, and Eli Evram.

Bigg Boss 7: Highlights of Day 1 (Watch Video)

The journey of Bigg Boss has started and this time it's 'Jannat' versus 'Jahannum'. After the housemates entered the house, they took time to explore the house and were surprised at the new elements that made them go 'Wow' and 'Aww' at the same time. When Pratyusha entered the hell side of the house, Hazel freaked her out by introducing her to the Indian loo. Pratyusha was also surprised to see that the washrooms were without taps and, to add to her woes, she would have to take her shower with cold water. On the other side, in the confession room, Tanisha expressed that she was feeling bad to have separated Apurva and Shilpa who seem to be a lovely couple.

Day one started with the warden giving a wake-up call to all the housemates and welcomed them to the Bigg Boss house. Shilpa, Gauhar and Anita took over the kitchen duties and indulged in cooking food for the hell and heaven housemates. On the other hand, in the hell section, everybody got together to clean the house and divided themselves to accomplish different tasks.

While Pratyusha mopped and swept the floor, Kushal cleaned the mattresses. Apurva took charge of the toilets while Elli helped with filling water. Love birds Apurva and Shilpa exchanged sweet gestures and kissed each other through the barbed wire between heaven and hell. Arman is presently leading them and ensuring that work gets done.

As the day progressed, Bigg Boss announced the nomination process where the heaven housemates were asked to nominate two members from the hell house. During the nomination process, Anita broke down and appeared to be sad and depressed. After Bigg Boss asked her why, she refused to answer.

Post nominations, Tanisha and Kushal are got chatty where Kushal confessed that he is addicted to alcohol. Tanisha advised him to get rid of the habit as its harmful.

Later in the day, Andy proved to be a great entertainer and indulged in showing few Kathak moves along with Hazel and Elli. The housemates cheered them while enjoying their performance. Andy also talked about Rajat to Gauhar where he told her that he should take of his health seriously and work towards losing his weight.

Furthermore, the day came to end with Bigg Boss announcing a task for Andy and Shilpa where they had to get the nominated contestants to talk about their real motive behind coming into the Bigg Boss house. The session proved to be entertaining since quite a few mysteries have yet to unfold.

Nomination Details :

The inmates of Bigg Boss 7 house nominated Pratyusha Banerjee, Kamya Punjabi, Kushal Tandon, Elli Avram, Hazel Keech and Ratan Rajpoot for the eviction.
Six of them has entered the danger zone and only one will be evicted from the show on Saturday.The public votes can save any five of the contestants from getting eliminated and Friday’s show will be the last day for them to earn maximum votes.
On the first day of the show, Bigg Boss asked the Heaven housemates to nominate only Hell contestants.
Gauhar nominated ‘unfriendly’ Pratyusha and ‘unhygienic’ Ratan. A sobbing Anita (we wonder if she remembered Rajesh Khanna) named Hazel and Elli. Rajat was quick to nominate ‘demanding’ Kushal and ‘callous’ Pratyusha. Tannisha named Ratan and Elli. Shilpa cited ‘no connection’ as reason for nominating Kamya and Hazel. Andy nominated Elli for poor Hindi. And Sangram named Kamya and ‘hyper’ Kushal for nomination.

Finally, Kushal, Elli, Kamya, Pratyusha, Hazel and Ratan were the unlucky six out of eight to get nominated. We are sure Apoorva and Armaan heaved a sigh of relief hearing that.

Hazel Keech: The actress has previously shared a screen space with Salman Khan in 'Bodyguard' and this itself explains the reason behind her entry in the show. The sexy lass shares a good friendship with our Sallu Bhai and it is heard that she is his recommendation.

Kamya Punjabi: One of the most popular 'vamps' on television, Kamya recently quit 'Life OK's Jaan', to particpate in the show. The actress was recently in news over trouble in her married life.
