1.Riteish Deshmukh and Sajid Nadiadwala’s two-day long game of chess
Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 4 recently kicked off its second schedule in Rajasthan. During the previous shoot in Ranthambore, the filmmaker and Riteish Deshmukh, were seen playing their longest game of chess, which went on over two days! The duo, we hear, is so fond of playing this brainy game that the production team always carries a chess set whenever the two are around. “Chess is Sajid and Riteish’s favourite board game. It has been a ritual to play when they are shooting ever since the inception of the Housefull franchise,” says a crew member, adding, “However, this time around, they played the longest game anyone of us has ever seen. They were seen getting out the chess board during breaks and even late into the night post the shoot. One game continued for over two days, but the rule is that after 50 moves, the match is a draw and that’s what happened when these two pitted their minds against each other.”
Incidentally, it was after three decades that Nadiadwala was visiting the desert state. As our source recalls, “Sajid was stationed in Rajasthan when he was an AD on the sets of JP Dutta’s Ghulami (1985). Currently, Housefull 4 is being shot in Jaisalmer and Sajid will soon be joining them there, too.” Looks like Riteish and he will be seen racking their brains for another marathon round of chess!
2.Taapsee Pannu approached by Punjabi singers for their video

In every city, the actress performed on her songs Kundali and Bijlee Giregi and now we hear that her Bhangra moves have impressed the Punjabis so much that she has been flooded with offers from music video producers. Says a source, “Apart from being a Sikhni and fluent in Punjabi, Taapsee’s moves in her recent release have caught producers’ eyes, who want to feature her in their videos. She is considering a couple of offers that she has received from notable Punjabi singers and will soon take a call.”

4.Jacqueline Fernandez and Kartik Aaryan to kickstart 'Kirik Party' next month
Kartik Aaryan is currently busy moving cities to wrap his immediate next release, Luka Chuppi. He is expected to finish the film by the end of this month as he is all set to begin shoot for his new project this October. Says our source, “Kartik and Jacqueline Fernandez will begin shooting Kirik Party next month. It will be a continuous run-on schedule where they will complete the film at one go. Bulk dates from both the actors have been blocked as of now.” Along with Kartik and Jackie, the Hindi remake of the Kannada hit is likely to feature a newcomer as the parallel lead.
5.Wajid Khan returns as a judge on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
Music composer Wajid Khan (of Sajid-Wajid) has been roped in to judge the upcoming season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Known for his songs in films like Dabangg 2, Ek Tha Tiger and Judwaa 2, the composer will be instrumental in guiding and mentoring the contestants. ‘Thrilled’ to be a part of the show, he enthuses, “I’ve had a long association with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa as I have judged the past three seasons with Sajid. I’m really looking forward to judging the show once again, this time by myself. Of course, we’ll miss him.” This time around, he has Shekhar Ravjiani and Sona Mohapatra as co-judges and he looks forward to learning from them. Wajid adds, “The kind of talent that we get on this show is extraordinary, as the creative team ensures that they get only the best voices from across the country. Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has been like an alma mater for music and with this season, we tend to raise the bar a notch higher.”
