Earlier we had reported that Vipul Shah would be seen collaborating with Akshay Kumar for the sequel to the popular film  Namastey London , titled  Namastey England . While a sequel had always been on the cards, we hear that the makers of the film have already locked a deal for the film's worldwide distribution.  In fact it is learnt that a leading music company has acquired the worldwide distribution rights of the film for a whopping Rs. 75 crores. If the buzz is to be believed then the said deal has already been sealed, however minor aspects of the deal are yet to be worked on.  Namastey England  that will have Akshay Kumar producing it as well as playing the lead is said to be a completely new love story with a twist. From what we hear, this film is inspired by a true love story and will once again be based in Punjab and London. As for the shoot of the film,  Namastey England  is slated to go on floors in January 2016 and will be releasing in the second half of the year.

Bollywood films have suffered a huge setback in the hands of Hollywood biggies this year.  Furious 7 thrashed Dibakar Bannerjee's  Detective Byomkesh Bakshy  and  Jurassic World  gobbled up Mohit Suri's  Hamari Adhuri Kahani . This Friday, it's  Terminator Genisys , the latest film in the  Terminator  franchise. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to reprise his role 5 years after the last film in the franchise.  So, are the two Hindi releases this week Subhash Kapoor's black comedy  Guddu Rangeela  and Smeep Kang's comedy  Second Hand Husband  feeling threatened?  Says Kang, "I believe while  Terminator Genisys  caters to the English-speaking, action-loving young audience of the multiplex. My film  Second Hand Husband , being a family comedy, would appeal to one and all."  Subhash Kapoor, the director of  Guddu Rangeela , says he doesn't know that  Terminator  is releasing. "I am sure both films will find its audience," he says.  Amit Sadh, who

Earlier we had reported how audiences are going to face a dilemma during Eid next year, since two superstars, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan will have releases on the same day. While Shah Rukh's  Raees has been in the news for almost a year, Yash Raj Films recently announced the release date of the long pending film with Salman, titled  Sultan . When quizzed about the much-awaited 'clash' during a press conference, Shah Rukh Khan mentioned that there is nothing like a clash since they are friends. He said, "First, it's not a clash. There are only 365 days, 54 Fridays, we make 200 films, it's bound to happen that some films will release on the same Friday and most of the people involved in both these films are friends. Adi is producing it, Salman is acting in it; Excel is producing it ( Raees ), Red Chillies is doing it, I am part of it."  As far as the business point of view is concerned, while Shah Rukh Khan agrees to the fact that business will get div

Readers may be aware by now, that Kareena Kapoor Khan seems to be having a rather fun-filled vacation in London. The actress was recently spotted with Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim, then later was seen spending time with her sister Karisma Kapoor and aunt Reema Jain. And guess whom did Kareena meet when she was in London? It was none other Hollywood star Channing Tatum.  The 35 year old suave hunk gladly posed with this Bollywood diva and the photos of the two have been doing the rounds on the web since then. What is even surprising is the fact that the two were colour coordinated during this photo shoot. The vacation was planned by Kareena and Saif with their family to ring in Karisma's birthday which was on June 25.  On the other hand, Kareena Kapoor Khan will soon return to Mumbai to fulfill her work commitments which includes promotions of  Bajrangi Bhaijaan  and to complete the shoot schedule with Arjun Kapoor for R. Balki's next.

 العربية المتحدة  -- طرح مصرف سوريا المركزي أوراقا نقدية جديدة من فئة 1000 ليرة سورية إصدار عام 2013 في التداول بالأسواق، برز فيها عدم تضمنها لصورة الرئيس السوري الراحل حافظ الأسد، وجاءت تحت عنوان "حضارة وانفتاح وتطور." وأشار حاكم مصرف سورية المركزي أديب ميالة، في مؤتمر صحفي، إلى أن طرح الأوراق المالية الجديدة بدأ في عام 2010 بطرح نقود من فئة 50 و100 ليرة ويأتي في سياق التحسين المستمر لميزات الأوراق النقدية المطروحة في التداول من حيث المقاييس والرسومات. من جهة أخرى، أكد ميالة عدم تأثير طباعة العملة الجديدة على معدلات التضخم كونها ستحل مكان أموال قديمة مهترئة، كاشفا عن سحب 70 مليار ليرة أموالا مهترئة من التداول، وطباعة عشرة مليارات عملة جديدة. والبارز في الورقة النقدية الجديدة غياب صورة الرئيس الراحل حافظ الأسد، والد الرئيس الحالي بشار، والذي كانت صورته على صدر الورقة القديمة، علما أن الأسد الأب مازال يحظى بالتبجيل في أوساط النظام حيث يطلق عليه لقب "القائد الخالد."
