"Rape" a film inspired by Shiney Ahuja's case

It's said that 'Reel life always imitates real life'. If you are one of those who disagree with this, we are sure that filmmaker Kanti Shah will change your belief. For starters, Kanti Shah is the 'almost King' of C-grade films. Testimonials to his filmmaking reflect in his 'creative' titles like Free Entry, Duplicate Sholay, Kabhi Kranti Kabhi Jung ('K3J'), Marna Zaroori Hai and the last released Lage Raho Partner.
The goods news for all his fans is that this man is back and how! He has announced a very 'topical' film called Rape. Yes, you heard the name right. Going by the 'USP' of this filmmaker, we are sure that the 'topicality' of this film has anything and everything related to the recent rape controversy surrounding Shiney Ahuja. When Bollywood Hungama spoke to Kanti regarding Rape, he was initially reluctant to 'reveal' anything about the plot reasoning that it was a very tight-bound script and has been strictly kept under the wraps. It took a little probing from our end to get the following 'revelation' from Kanti. He said "Yes, my latest film Rape has been heavily inspired by the Shiney Ahuja case. While the hero's name is Imran, the heroine is Sapna and both are newcomers. Mark my words; they are definitely the faces to watch out for! My film has got 5 songs in all with its lilting music composed by the very talented Sameer Sen (of Dilip Sen - Sameer Sen). Of these 5 songs, two are super duper item numbers!"

Reliance will re-release Big B's blockbuster films to celebrate his 40 yrs in industry

The general saying goes as 'Whatever a King does, he does in style'. But, in Bollywood, whatever its King (aka Amitabh Bachchan) does, it becomes a style in itself! We are very sure that this piece of information will sound like music to the ears of one and all. If the hush-hush market buzz is to be believed, a major event is being planned by the entertainment major Reliance, to celebrate Amitabh Bachchan's whopping 40 years of being in films!
According to the most reliable sources of Bollywood Hungama, we discovered (read 'uncovered') the news, that the above mentioned mega event will also see the re-release of several of his blockbuster films in cinema halls like Shakti, Do Aur Do Paanch, Zanjeer, Hum, Amar Akbar Anthony...to name a few. This is being done for the younger generation to come face to face with the films with the evolution of the phenomenon called the 'Big B'. The event is being aimed with the basic objective of making the Gen-Next understand the 'Making of Amitabh Bachchan'.
Well, the good news just does not end there. Our source also went onto add that there's also a grand event with lots of stars planned around his birthday (which is on 11th October). We are very sure that many of you out there must be religiously following his blog. For those who don't, here's what you have missed. The Big B, late last month, gave a slight 'hint' of what to expect in the forthcoming days. Here's what he had written: "A prominent corporate wishes to celebrate my 40 years in the Industry and unfolds an elaborate plan. It is embarrassing for me to even think the way they do. It is like a self promotion. Of talking about yourself with a great amount of 'I' 'me' 'myself' thrown in. I am uncomfortable doing that, or even permitting someone to perceive what it all could be. The initial working of such a program has been approved upon. In the end due to the pressure of relationships, I shall perforce have to succumb. And that is the crux. How does one say 'no' to enthusiasm."
