Munnabhai aka Sanju baba aka Sanjay Dutt dropped a bombshell on Saturday when at a very select press meet at the Healthworks Gym at Thane, he said that he was considering launching a series of fitness clubs and gyms along with ‘good friend’ and fitness freak Prabodh Davkhare.

Sanjay even went steps ahead and said that if Prabhod Davkhare found it right, he would love to be the brand ambassador for the brand of gyms and fitness clubs. ‘Prabodh Davkhare is a good friend and I have always told him to push his efforts even further. I would love to be the brand ambassasdor of his gyms if Prabodh finds me suitable for the job,” said Sanju baba modestly.

Prabodh Davkhare runs one of the most modern and sophisticated fitness clubs and gyms in Thane called Healthworks gym. While going through the gym, Sanjay Dutt worked out for about ten minutes on the thread mill, the weights machine and even pushed some iron.

Sources close to Prabodh Davkhare said that Sanju baba is very keen on the fitness business and the two of them have been contemplating starting a chain of fitness clubs for some time. Confirming this, Prabodh Davkhare said, ‘I would love to have Sanjay Dutt to advise my gym members and clients. Sanjay Dutt is one of the fittest Bollywood stars and is the epitome of health in the country. He has maintained his physique in spite of several ups and downs in his life. For Sanju fitness comes first.”

Munnabhai aka Sanju baba aka Sanjay Dutt spent almost two hours at the Healthworks Gym at Thane on the outskirts of Mumbai along with promoter Probodh Davkhare on Saturday.

Munnabhai exercised, lifted weights, pressed some iron and even watched a demonstration of Karate along with about 200 excited fitness freaks from the area. He shared tips with the staff and even demonstrated certain correct methods of lifting weights, pressing iron etc.

Sanju baba and Prabodh Davkhare later on addressed a press conference where Sanjay Dutt answered about 50 to 100 questions from the audience regarding health, fitness, right diet etc. There were about 200 fitness enthusiasts present at the venue while a crowd of about 2000 persons gathered out the Healthworks Gym to get a glimpse of their favourite superstar.

Speaking at the Press Conference, Prabhodh Davkhare praised and thanked Sanju Baba for taking time out of his busy schedule to encourage and support the youngsters. “Sanjay Dutt has been a great source of help and encouragement both personally and for the entire staff at Healthworks India, and I thank him on behalf of every member and employee at Healthworks India,” said Prabodh Davkhare.

Sanjay Dutt also praised Prabodh Davkhare for his efforts to popularise the idea and concept of fitness.

Not too long ago, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan also visited the Healthworks Gym and spent almost an hour with the crowd. Other stars who were present included Zulfi Sayed and many other lesser known Bollywood personalities.

Both the former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and the current CM have visited the Healthworks Gym and encouraged Prabodh Davkhare and his team to spread the message of fitness across the city.

Healthworks India and Prabodh Davkhare have announced several special schemes for Government Employees, Police Officials and even students who can get maximum benefit from them and stay fit and healthy.

Fashion model and actress Kristna Saika accuses producer of humiliation

By Flynn Remedios (c) Futuristic Media Network

Fashion and art model and actress Kristna Saika has accused the production house Cine Centre and its producer Prakash Shetty of ill-treating her during the shooting of the film Molly in Bangalore last week. The film is directed by Rajiv Gupta, who is also an editor and had last edited the film ‘Shortcut’. Molly is Rajiv Gupta’s debut film.

Apparently according to Kristna Saika, she was put up in a dirty house and made to eat stale food. Her colleague and herself were not provided with warm water for bathing and were inconvenienced in every little way. They were not picked up from the airport when they landed in Bangalore and had to do everything on their own. No facilities were extended to them that are normally provided to cine stars and models.

The production house has denied all these allegations, saying that Kristna is just making a mountain of a mole hill and using the issue as a publicity stunt.


However, Kristna has produced a medical certificate claiming that she had to take a flight back – with her own money – to Mumbai when she fell ill due to the shoddy food and lodging conditions. She has undergone medical treatment for throat infection, stomach poisoning and various other related ailments.

Kristna has complained to the IMPAA – the association of film producers – a claim that is countered by the producer who says that it was he who first approached IMPAA after the actress walked out of his film without informing him and left for Mumbai.

EXCLUSIVE: KRISHIKA GUPTA GROPED BY WOMEN IN A DISCO AT 5- STAR HOTEL IN MUMBAI

By Shree Devi © Futuristic Media Network

Actress Krrishika Gupta of the Neetu Chandra-The Man magazine photo shoot fame is very upset, angry and is actually tearing out her hair. Thanks to the erotic cover photo shoot, she has been labeled as a lesbian by most of her friends. In fact, so acute is the problem that her male friends are wary of letting their girl friends go alone with her, fearing that she may make a pass at them.

The icing on the cake was when she went to a disco at a 5-star hotel at Juhu in suburban Mumbai on Sunday. As she was enjoying herself on the dance floor, two women who seemed to be drunk surrounded her and began groping her. They pawed her, said vulgar things about the photo shoot and even tried to push their hands into her skirt. Krrishika had to slap one of them and get away.

According to Krrishika’s publicist Flynn Remedios, who has sent a written complaint to the hotel’s management, the women almost confined Krrishika between them for a full five minutes. “Krrishika didn’t want to raise a stink and somehow managed to get away, but not before the women had royally molested and groped her,” said Flynn Remedios.

In fact, the women first bumped into her at the bar, when she went to get herself a can of a popular energy drink. The women who were drinking at the bar noticed Krrishika who was wearing a short mini skirt and a tight top.

Says Krrishika, “When they say me, they looked at each other and sort of smiled. The taller well-built woman who didn’t seem to be Indian – she was fair-skinned and spoke with an accent – asked her if she was the same model who was in a lesbian photo shoot with an actress. Initially Krrishika didn’t suspect anything wrong and answered them in the affirmative. As she took her energy drink and went back to the dance floor, the women – in their late 20s followed her.

A furious Krrishika said that there should be a law against molestation of a person by another person of the same sex.

During the time of the photo shoot controversy, Krrishika got almost 200 SMS messages from her friends and contacts in the industry actually asking her if she ‘had turned lesbian’. Says Krrishika, “I am not at all lesbian from any angle. I am a normal heterosexual and I even sort of like someone, but I am currently not dating any one. Sex is the last thing on my mind as I am concentrating on my work.”

Krrishika’s publicist Flynn Remedios gets about 2-3 enquries from media persons each day with regard to lesbian or gay related themes. “During the recent gay controversy, several media persons called me to ask if Krrishika Gupta would like to speak on the subject as she had done a lesbian shoot,” says Remedios, explaining that he had a tough time telling media persons that Krrishika Gupta was NOT lesbian at all.

We hear that Krrishika Gupta has been approached by Spectra Multimedia Films to do a special film. Spectra Multimedia has launched about ten film projects and one of them is a film that’s based on the love triangle between Shahid Kapoor, Kareena and Saif Ali Khan.

Was elephant that scared Abhi-Ash provoked and chained?

Film Unit didn’t have permission to use the animal


By Flynn Remedios – © Futuristic Media Network


Well this news is something that the Animal Welfare Board and PETA must take very seriously.

According to reports in the local vernacular press, and eye witness accounts, the elephant that killed its mahout at Athirappilly on Wednesday evening after it was taken to the site of shooting of Mani Ratnam’s film, ‘Ravan’, was allegedly provoked, chained and harassed, before it ran amuck. In fact, the local press in southern India has criticized Mani Ratnam, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai for being insensitive to animals and treating them merely as beasts of burden.

Some farmers and onlookers as quoted by local television said that the mahout tried to make the elephant do some tricks – apparently to impress the star guests including Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. The elephant was in no mood to oblige though and after being pushed to its tether by the mahout, finally gored him to death.

In an attempt to impress the stars, the production guys and unit wallas, the mahout tried to force the animal to do impossible things – some thing that PETA must find out. Apparently, the mahout went out of his way to impress the production and unit hands to get a better price for his services and for the use of the elephant in the film. Eyewitnesses also said that the unit hands created a huge commotion while the mahout tried to rein in the huge beast. This further frightened the animal, which went haywire.

According to a report in The Hindu, the elephant named Kunju, gored its mahout Aandavan, 51, to death at Charpa during the evening hours. It then ran amok and was brought under control only after midnight after forest officials shot it down with a tranquilizer gun.

“The film crew and tourists watched the incident. Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, and the director were shifted to an inspection bungalow of the Forest Department,” said Kanichayi Baby, production manager of the film. “They remained there for a few hours till the commotion that followed the incident died down. Contrary to reports that appeared in the media, no member of the film crew was trapped in the forests or was without water and basic food. Of course, they must have missed the five star food and treatment that is the norm.”

Animal welfare activists alleged that the elephant was used for film shooting, while the production unit maintained it was not.

“The elephant was brought to Athirappilly on Tuesday, but it was not featured in the film. We suspect that the mahout was under the influence of alcohol,” Mr. Baby said.

The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) has asked the Kerala Forest Department on Thursday to inquire into the incident and submit a report. It also served a notice on the producers asking them to explain how and why the animal was featured in the film without the permission of the Board.
“Pre-shoot permission and post-shoot no-objection certificates from AWBI are mandatory for featuring animals in films,” said D. Rajasekar, AWBI secretary.

The Kerala Elephant Lovers’ Association demanded action against the producers for allegedly violating the Performing Animals (Registration) Rules of 2001.

According to veterinarian P. B. Giridas, who examined the elephant on Thursday, the animal was shot with a tranquilizer gun on Wednesday, informs The Hindu.

TOP BOLLYWOOD ACTRESS PREGNANT, SECRETLY ABORTS TWO-MONTH PREGNANCY

By Flynn Remedios © Futuristic Media Network

One of Bollywood’s most saleable, most talked-about and written about actress recently aborted a 2.5 month old pregnancy. We got this information direct from senior and reliable sources at the posh 5-star clinic that conducted the top secret abortion procedure.

For obvious reasons and until we get a legitimate copy of the “PROOF” we would not want to mention the name of the actress. All we can say for now is that the actress has been in and out of relationships in the last few years and is currently dating a senior Bollywood actor.

Bollywood gossip mills had rumored that the actress was engaged to the actor and were almost living in. Another report had suggested that the same actress was ‘sporting the actor’s engagement ring’.

Earlier media reports and photographs had indicated that newly-married Amrita Arora just back from her honeymoon was sporting a tell-tale bump suggesting that the actress was pregnant. Just a few months before, Sushmita Sen was also photographed at a Reality Show that she was judging with a similar ‘bump’ giving rise to rumours that she was pregnant. While nothing much came out of Sushmita Sen’s bump – in fact the svelte actress looks ten years younger now after loosing oodles of weight, it is weight and watch for Amrita Arora who has kept mum about the rumours.

RAKHI SAWANT: "RAKHI KA SWAYAMVAR IS JUST ANOTHER REALITY OR GAME SHOW"

By Flynn Remedios – © Futuristic Media Network

Speaking to journalist Flynn Remedios, Rakhi Sawant Bollywood’s most enigmatic and unpredictable personality said that she was NOT going to marry.

“This is just another Reality Show or Game Show. It’s just like any other TV program. I am not going to marry now. Maybe I may date the winner in real life. But it doesn’t mean that I am bound to marry the winner of the show if there is any one.”

When further queried, she shot back, “There is a possibility that there may not be any winner. Yes I may decide I do not eventually like anyone from this lot of suitors,” quipped the drama queen adding and hinting that there may be a Rakhi ka Swayamwar Part II or Season II.

Rakhi insisted that she would definitely want to get to know the contestants in real life. “Yeh toh Reel Life hein. Real Life to alag hein na. I have to get to know them inside out. Barabar se tatolna hoga. I can not make the same mistakes I made earlier.

Apparently, Rakhi has been married twice before according to unconfirmed media reports and should she get married this time, it would possibly be her third marriage. In fact, one of her former beaus had raised a ruckus saying that legally Rakhi Sawant was still married to him and how could the actress and item queen get married again.

Earlier Shradha Sharma and astro-numerologist Sandhiya Mehta had raised doubts about Rakhi’s intention to marry. Sandhiya Mehta had asserted that the show was a farce and just anotherTV soap.

Salman Khan leaves photographer with a bloody nose at music launch

By Flynn Remedios – © Futuristic Media Network

Salman Khan and his entourage - though unintentionally and unknowingly - left a photographer with a bleeding nose at a music launch function at the J W Marriott on Thursday.

According to eye witnesses, Salman Khan was the chief guest at the music launch of the film Shadow. About 50 photographers and another 50-60 TV cameramen were jostling for space on and around the dais to get exclusive or good pix of Sallu bhaiya. The media crowd was getting difficult to handle as there was a lot of pushing and shoving.

When it was time for Sallu to leave, his bodyguards began creating a way for him to move out without being mobbed by the paparazzi. Suddenly Salman and his bodyguards moved out of the podium, accidentally injuring a photographer M Surayakant in the process. The shutterbug was hit on his nose by the elbow of one of the burly bodyguards when he moved his hand behind to shield Salman from the aggressive photographers.

Though this was completely unintentional and a genuine accident, the shutterbug has vowed never to attend a Salman event again.

SHOCK AND DISBELIEF: INDIAN MICHEAL JACKSON FANS MOURN THE LEGEND

Thousands of Indian Micheal Jackson fans in India watching late night television watched in utter disbelief as the news of the cardiac arrest of the legend and the subsequent announcement of his death filtered in.

Since most Indian television channels show only repeats of earlier recorded news bulletins, the internet, news websites, blogs and foreign channels were much in demand. Social Networking sites like Facebook, Orkut and Twitter became sources for the latest bits or tweets of info.

SMS networks in India also registered a significant rise in SMS traffic since 4.30 am on Friday morning as news of the King of Pop filtered in. For journalists like Flynn Remedios who grew up on Man in the Mirror, Black or White, Beat it and several other MJ tracks the news came as a big shock.

Long Live MJ. May your soul rest in peace.
