Blind Item(BollywoodLife) – Superstar Backs Out – 16th Jan

BollywoodLife has published a blind item about a superstar who ahs backed out of hosting a popular awards show this year.

There are two types of arrogant people – one who brag about themselves, think no end of themselves, the other make fun of the failures of people from the fraternity. The superstar mentioned in the blind item was both. While he was & is hugely talented, he lost a lot of fans due to his arrogance. We are one among them. Film making is a lot of effort. People involved in a movie give 2-3 years of their lives to a movie. A movie is like a baby & no one takes it kindly if someone pokes fun at its failure. While it is one thing to have stand up comics to poke fun at it, its humiliating to have the country’s biggest star to make fun of it on a public platform. While he ruled bollywood for 8 straight years, his dream run came to an end & his arch rival dethroned him. But he was still in the top 3 list. But his recent debacles have raised questions on his box office equity.

This is a lesson for everybody. Don’t make fun of the failures of others, especially when you are doing well. You never know when times will change & you too suffer the same fate!

Blind Item

It’s a well-known adage in the industry that you are as good as your last film. In Bollywood, a film’s rise or fall is directly proportional to the cast, especially the male lead’s treatment in the fraternity. Yes, winds of change have started to blow in this industry as well with women-oriented movies making a lot of money at the box office. But at the end of the day, heroes are still hailed. So, when a hero, whose movies are known to mint obscene amounts of money at the box office, suffers setbacks in quick succession, things start to change. We are talking about this particular A-list actor who is looking for ways to not get reminded of his last film’s poor show at the box office.

The film was one of the biggies of last year and was mounted on a huge scale. The actor is known to experiment with his roles. This film had him in an avatar unlike anything he has done before. That’s saying a lot because he has been around for more than two decades now. That had created a good buzz around the film. But when the film released, it’s far-fetched storyline couldn’t please the audience or critics in any way. Since then, the film has become a fav subject of memes. Guess that must have made the actor think twice before agreeing to host this popular film awards.
