When I got Akshay and Bhumi Pednekar to do d.... Talk

ou know how most of us get embarrassed when it comes to talking about toilet in public. I mean, I remember the other day when I was discussing about having a terrible stomach upset with one of my office colleagues, this another

friend overheard our conversation and made such a disgusting face by judging me for sharing the details

of my poop. Like that’s what most of our “Tatti Talks” lead to or the max is we use end up using the word like a friendly abuse. But same is not the case with Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, who were actually such a sport when I got them to take me inside their Toilet, EXCLUSIVELY on BollywoodLife. Yes, this happened! Considering Akshay and Bhumi are out with their film titled Toilet Ek Prem Katha that deals with the issue of open defecation, I got both of them to get into BollywoodLife’s “Tatti Talk Challenge”. Basically the actors had to answer everything about what one does in the Toilet within 5 seconds and boy, it turned out to be so damn hilarious! Warning you for you might gross out Continued on page 5

We asked Anushka about all things Gujarati and here’s how she fared!

e tested Jab Harry Met Sejal actor Anushka Sharma’ Gujarati knowledge – find out if she passed or failed Well, we were pretty impressed with Anushka Sharma’s Gujarati accent in Jab Harry Met Sejal. The actress managed to surprise us with the Gujju twist at the end of the peppy Radha track. Now we know that Anushka doesn’t sign for anything if she isn’t convinced about it. So, we tried to put the actress to rest by playing a Gujarati food quiz with her. Guess what Anushka proved to be pretty good and very very smart too. For most part of this candid conversation the actress managed to win and when she didn’t she tricked us in to believing that she knew it. We must Anushka is pretty good at her job (acting). Watch the video

to know what we’re saying. Jab Harry Met Sejal is the actress’ third film with Shah Rukh Khan. Anushka was launched

opposite SRK in Bollywood with Yash Raj Films’ Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The actress went on to feature in Late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s last movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan with King Khan in lead.

‘Mubarakan’ beats recoreds

n a time when it’s difficult for Bollywood films to even sustain after the opening weekend, Arjun Kapoor and Anil Kapoor’s Mubarakan has not only sustained but it did so, despite strong competition with ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. The film started slow but gradually on word of mouth gained momentum and turned out to be one of most talked about success story of 2017. But what really showcased the might of the film was when Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal released. Many were of opinion that it’ll be a tough road ahead for Arjun Kapoor’s entertainer as Shah

Rukh Khan will eat up all the business. But what happened next was nothing short of a blockbuster script. The film not only sustained against the might of Jab

Harry........’but it also beat it gradually as Jab Harry Met Sejal was outright rejected by the movie going audience.

MARK MY MOVES

Abhishek Bachchan will be seen as a ruthless politician in Nishikant Kamat’s next,August Sanak. The thriller is slated to roll later in the year, Saturday, 19,action 2017 after Junior B completes work on J P Dutta’s war drama, Paltan

Chick flick gets going There or Richa Chadha and Kalki Koechlin have begun promotions for Jia Aur Jia. The women-centric drama, which was shot almost four years ago, is finally seeing the light of day. The two were in Delhi yesterday for the teaser launch. Chadha claimed she was down with swine flu recently. She seems to have recovered in a jiffy as she has been up and about ever since.

Title mil gaya

not there? Anushka Sharma was spotted at the airport recently wearing a T-shirt that read: Distraction. Those in the know say that she has winged her way to Sri Lanka. Snapshots of her and beau Virat Kohli have not gone viral from the island nation. Maybe she is playing it safe and keeping a low profile while doing touristy things. In 2014, when Sharma was shooting in Lanka for Bombay Velvet, Kohli had dropped in to meet her.

Sairat (2016) director Nagraj Manjule’s next starring Amitabh Bachchan has been titled Jhund. Last week, Big B confirmed the project and said that shooting begins in October. The film is based on the life of Vijay Barse, a retired school teacher from Pune, who trains underprivileged children in football to not only enhance fitness but also develop skills like team-building and selfesteem. Jhund marks Manjule’s debut in Bollywood.

ON THE SET

Rani keeps it short Yesterday, Rani Mukerji was spotted at Gauri Khan’s home decor store in Santa Cruz. The actor has lost oodles of weight. It’s been ages since we saw her in a short skirt showing off her pins. Mukerji wrapped up the shoot of Hitchki a while back, but there has been no word about its release date.

Let’s go politicking Bhumi Pednekar’s Twitter profile reads: Actor, dreamer and future leader. She has been part of socially relevant films like Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) which dealt with body shaming and her recent release, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, in which she plays a fiery housewife wanting to build a toilet at home. Her next Shubh Mangal Savdhan, deals with the social stigma of erectile dysfunction. Being socially conscious has made the actor look at politics as the next step. Perhaps she has been inspired by Toilet co-star Akshay Kumar, who too harbours political aspirations.

Jay Bhanushali and Swara Bhaskar began shooting for the short film, Suicide Company Private Limited, yesterday. It highlights the plight of the youngsters and what drives them to take their lives. PIC/YOGEN SHAH

Bollywood

‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ movie review roundup: Critics are divided over the writing of Rajkummar Rao, Kriti Sanon comedy Such polarising reviews for a film in the longest time?

e have to laud Bollywood for finally investing in commercially viable stories from the small towns. This year, many films were set in the small towns and villages of India and featured characters with a certain rustic charm about them. The latest one is today’s release, Bareilly Ki Barfi. Director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari has proved that she can weave a sustainable story without the glitz and glam of a metropolitan city with Nil Battey Sannatta, and with BKB, she does it again. The romantic comedy stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. The movie opened in theaters today, but the critics had already let their

verdict out yesterday, after attending a special screening of the film, organised by the makers. And Bollywood has not seen such polarising reviews for a film in the longest time. Seriously, the movie has been awarded from one to five stars by various critics in their reviews. As we always say, audience gets the final vote, but still here is what the critics are saying about Bareilly Ki Barfi… From BollywoodLife, Sreeju Sudhakaran watched the movie and enjoyed it. In a 3-star review he wrote, “Bareilly ki Barfi boasts of a delightful first half, but a weak second half. But some really funny writing and terrific performances by Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, along with a brilliant supporting cast, add sweetness to the narrative. While it may not get high marks in its screenplay, it definitely is one of the better rom-coms of the year.” NDTV wrote, “Bareilly Ki Barfi is definitely worth a watch provided you do not expect the world from it. It is happy to be what it is: a modest barfi from nondescript Bareilly. A bite wouldn’t be a bad idea.” Reddif was in awe of the script and wrote “The script has an energy that seems to have sent all the actors over the rainbow and out they slide from the other end, with their characters’ daze firmly fixed inside them.” India Today, too, found the film to be

delightful. “After Nil Battey Sannata, director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari brings us another engaging watch. There is no dull moment in the film. Light and fluffy, Bareilly Ki Barfi is no heavy seven-course meal, but it is quite the delicious dessert,” they wrote. Times Of India was also in love with the writing and said, “The writers Nitesh Tiwari

(director and writer of the much-acclaimed blockbuster Dangal) and Shreyas Jain have put together a sweet, identifiable crowdpleaser that excels in the writing, direction, acting and music departments.” The Indian Express in a 2.5 star review wrote, “This Small-Town Rom Com ticks all the boxes going in: perky girl armed with requisite quirky parents, a couple of suitable

boys, and great one liners. And it does work in fits and starts, but it flattens equally in between.” Firstpost ripped apart the movie into pieces in their 1-star review, and wrote “BKB’s male leads are victims of half-hearted writing, lost to the most inconsistent characterisation I have seen in a Hindi film in a while. The motivations for their actions are unconvincing.”

Bollywood HOROSCOPE Aries

Libra

March 21 - April 20

Sept. 24 - Oct 22

As the week begins, you may feel it necessary to manipulate a situation to get your desired outcome. But do you really need to do this? With other dynamic inﬂuences showing up involving feisty Mars, your guide planet, you have more than enough charisma and energy to steer your life in the direction you want it to go. It might be better to state your intentions openly.

Taurus

Don’t be surprised if emotions ﬂare up between you and someone close on a professional or social level. The issue may be diﬃcult to resolve now. People feel rather sensitive. If they hear something they don’t like, especially an opinion that may seem too critical, they’re likely to shut down. You might want to consider saving anything of a sensitive nature for

Scorpio

April 21 - May 20

Oct 23 - Nov 22

You may not feel in the mood to ﬁght today, Taurus. If someone challenges you, talk your way out of it. You will probably be able to win any battle with your words. Try sensitive reasoning instead of open combat. Listen carefully to the concerns of the opposing side and make your move accordingly. This isn’t a contest. It’s a conversation among friends.

Gemini

People may be coming on strong, but you will be right there to meet them with an equally powerful rebuttal. The problem is, the person who confronts you is talking about apples and you’re talking about oranges. Get oﬀ your soapbox for a minute and listen to the real issue. Don’t get caught in misunderstandings or things could backﬁre later.

Sagitarius

May 20 - June 21

Nov 23 - Dec 22

Take pride in your nurturing instincts, Gemini. Rescue an injured bird or join a conservation group. Do something to help save the whales. Take a more active role in the preservation of the planet. Become a concerned citizen who regularly speaks out for what you believe in. Don’t let other people’s political agendas get in the way of your true purpose.

Cancer

If something doesn’t make sense to you, Sagittarius, question it. Be strong and conﬁdent. Don’t let others take advantage of your sensitive and nurturing personality. Your general tendency is to give more than you receive, but this may leave you feeling depleted. Put an end to this cycle. Be conscious of how you distribute your energy. Do something for yourself.

Capricorn

June 22 - July 23

Dec 23 - Jan 20

Something or someone may urge you to make a major move. Be sure you make it in the right direction. Remember that strength lies in numbers. To conquer, people must unite. Factions of people continuing to fight among themselves only aggravate the problem. The key is to accept one another’s differences and work together on the larger issues that affect us all.

Leo

Try to control your aggression, Capricorn. People are likely to be a bit more sensitive than usual. You can use your powerful nature in positive ways by turning your energy inward and conquering the demons within. It may feel like others are trying to put a monkey wrench in your gears, so be careful.

Aquarius

June 24 - August 23

Jan 21 - Feb 19

Your ego is strong today, Leo, and you have a strong will. This is a good time to put your plan for world domination into eﬀect. Be sure you channel your powerful emotions into positive outlets. Create rather than destroy. Energy that isn’t used in a positive way will end up manifesting as accidents or hostility toward people who don’t deserve it.

Virgo

It’s time to be more aggressive regarding your needs, Aquarius. Think of your heart as a powerful muscle that needs a tough workout. You’ll want to surround yourself with positive people who believe in you and support your eﬀorts. Pump yourself up with vitality and self-conﬁdence. Make time for exercise and meditation. Bring more balance and harmony to your life.

Pisces

August 24 - Sept 24

Feb 20 - March 20

Focus more of your power on your home and family life, Virgo. Take care of domestic issues and stick to household chores and duties. The more you do to your home, the more others will be inspired to pitch in and help. You may ﬁnd it diﬃcult to connect with certain people, so it might be best to give yourself some time alone.

You’re in the hot seat today, Pisces. Other people might put you on the spot for no apparent reason. This uncomfortable feeling could lead to tension if you overreact. Be careful that you have all the facts on the issue before you react. The whole situation may be a big misunderstanding. Maintain a level head tempered with kindness and respect.

Sunny Leone effects!

Traffic snarl in Kochi to see a ‘Sunny’ glimps

o get a glimpse of Sunny Leone. It was a sea of heads…that’s all one could see. The actress had shared pictures of the crowd. Of course, the actress was beside herself on seeing so many people showering love on her. In fact, Twitter had gone crazy showing videos of the event. Well now all that has left the organisers in a sticky position. Sunny was there for the inauguration of a mobile store and now, as per a report in Indian Express, the store owner and 100 others have been booked by the police for blocking traffic in the city for hours yesterday. Police apparently had a trying time

controlling the crowd which had assembled to get to see Sunny at least once. The daily also reported, “The mobile store owner and 100 others were booked under IPC sections 283 (obstruction in public way) and 34 (acts

done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), police said.” Well, you can see for yourself why such measures was taken.

Why Kapil loses out on an episode with Amitabh Bachchan? From page 1 Mubarakaan) shoots on The Kapil Sharma Show as he had to be rushed to the hospital last minute. And, the latest one to join the bandwagon is Amitabh Bachchan. Big B was all set to shoot a special episode with Kapil, but due to the ongoing FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) strike, the shooting had to be cancelled. As per reports, all spotboys, light-men and make-up artistes have gone on a strike. FWICE had sent a notice to the Producers’ Guild, demanding a hike in their wages. They had mentioned that if their demands are not fulfilled they will go on a strike from August 15. But, it seems their plea went unnoticed. The union of cine employees, hence, followed their decision and went on the strike. This has resulted into not just delays but cancellations of many shoots. Not just KBC, but the strike affected the shoot of movies like Padmavati, Parmanu and Shah Rukh Khan’s next with Aanand L Rai, too. Mumbai’s Film

City, Filmistan Studio, Future Studio, Click Nickson, Cinevista Studio and all shoot locations in Madh Island, Mira Road and Naigaon have been shut for now. Shoot of almost 40 TV serials in Hindi and Marathi along with 10 Hindi film shoots are on stake. Back in 2015 too, FWICE had gone on a strike; demanding salary increment, eighthour shift, accidental and medical insurance, safety and job security. The producers’ body had agreed to fulfill the demands but according to FWICE President Birendra Nath Tiwari and General Secretary Dilip Pithawa, their promises haven’t been met till date. During that time also there was no shoot for almost a week and channels had to telecast old episodes of TV serials with no ad breaks.

DEADLINE TODAY! Indo-Canadian Singer/ Composer, Parichay, known for his smooth vocals and catchy beats, has collaborated with the beautiful Bollywood beauty, Nargis Fakhri & Canadian Rap legend, Kardinal Offishall on his new single “ Habitaan Vigaad Di “, making it the first ever crossover track to feature such major artistes from the East & West. Parichay, who last year became the 1st Non-Resident Indian ever to do 4 out of 5 songs in a mainstream Bollywood film soundtrack for the production powerhouse TIPS and received much acclaim for the super hit track Peene Ki Tamanna, has perfected the blend of East-West sounds in “Habitaan Vigaad Di”. While Nargis was roped in to feature in the music video once she heard and liked the song, Parichay was able to convince her to sing the hook line. She sounds great and to that Nargis tweeted “ Thanks @ParichayOnline for asking me to give it a try! Glad I did! What fun! “ . Most recently, at the prestigious IIFA Awards 2017 held in New York City and New Jersey, actor Varun Dhawan is seen talking about this single along with Nargis and the hosts. The video is available on YouTube HERE Kardinal Offishall, who was recently applauded by Drake at the O2 Arena during a concert in London by

saying “One of the biggest rappers in the world to me, is this guy by the name of Kardinal Offishall” adds a new dimension to the track with his distinct rap flow and lyrics. Parichay was recently heard saying “As a fellow Canadian Artist, I always had a lot of respect for Kardi and loved his music. We have a few common friends and I’ve been wanting to work with him for a while but I knew it’ll happen when the time is right. Working with him on Habitaan Vigaad Di along with Nargis was a blessing”. “Habitaan Vigaad Di “ has an Urban sound with a dancehall flavour that is just right for the summer vibes, with lyrics in Punjabi, Hindi & English penned by legendary lyricist Kumaar, Kardinal Offishall & Parichay. Parichay’s vocals sound silky smooth to give this track the sensual feel it oozes. He has produced the music as well and is currently in the studio laying final touches on his next single release rumoured to be with another major international artist. While we have to wait and see who that is, “Habitaan Vigaad Di” continues its high rotation on the BBC Asian Network and radio stations worldwide with the video being featured on TV channels across the globe and YouTube with just over 1.6 Million views already.

roof, all four doors and the upper tailgate are all still removable. You better have a spare spot in the garage because all of the extra parts take up the space of another car. Not to mention trying to remove the roof on your own can end with scratched paint,

There’s nothing of the most recognizable like cruising around on sunny vehicles on the road today. days with no roof and half Jeep has taken the “if it aint doors. If you haven’t tried it broke, don’t fix it” approach yet I highly recommend it. Jag Dhatt for the last 75 years and it’s I’m not sure how I feel about Jag Dhatt is an automotive, motorcycle and lifestyle more popular now than ever. the interior to be honest. Jeep journalist. He is an AJAC Take that Mini and VW made a huge effort to really member and regular Beetle. The 75th Anniversary class it up with the 75th contributor writer to many print and online media Edition Wrangler comes in anniversary model but there’s outlets. Sarge Green and I have to say still a very utilitarian feel to it looks fantastic. It’s a great it. There’s a blend of gorgeous throwback to the original leather, big 6.5” touchscreen dark green of the classic army Jeeps of the display and bronze trim contrasting with day. The bronze wheels, bumper and trim the plastic panels, dash and roof. The seats contrast the relatively dark green paint and are a soft brown leather and extremely

comfortable in the front and the rear. The steering wheel is great and the controls are very easy to use. That being said, in my opinion if you are going to go luxury don’t stop half way. The dash and center console is still made of plastic, so is half of the door panels and trim. There isn’t really much of a roof liner and the interior noise is still quite loud. Granted, Jeep did install an epic sound system to make up for it, but you can’t always have your music blasting all of the time. The window controls drove me absolutely bonkers. Jeep placed them right in the middle of the dash between the vents and the buttons are hooked over on a very odd angle. I understand the need to not keep them in the

V6 in 2012 to replace the 3.8L in the previous model years. To be honest, I really miss the 4.0L inline HO 6-cylinder engine from the earlier models. The 3.6 liter has plenty of torque but really lacks horsepower. It really shows when passing or merging on the highway. Anything over 4,000 rpm and the engine seems to fall on its face. Available in both a 5-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual, I much prefer the manual. The clutch is fantastic, as there’s lots of feel through the pedal; first gear is a great low gear for climbing. However, I think the transmission is mounted directly to the suspension because if I drove over any bumps or sewer covers the shifter was shaken out of my hand. So violently in fact that I actually crawled underneath to make sure the transmission mounts hadn’t sheared off. The ride was exactly what I expected from Jeep; soft and supple with lots of travel. And just as expected, the body roll was pretty substantial. Emergency lane changes or animal avoidance may result in an upside-down Jeep and a very unhappy Aman. Overall, the 2017 Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary is pretty much exactly what I expected. An unreal off roader that compromised luxury for function. Now, I do realize that this may be coming off as

doors in case you remove them, but what was wrong with the classic toggle style switches? Now about that SUV comment, not only does Jeep call the wrangler an

‘I wish I had not said ‘no’ so often’

Ahead of her return to acting with a web show, Shamita Shetty says her search for ‘quality screen time’ robbed her of good offers LETTY MARIAM ABRAHAM letty.abraham@mid-day.com IN an industry that runs on family lineage, Shamita Shetty’s inability to make a mark in Bollywood was questioned. Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s younger sister ticked all the checkboxes when it came to the qualities a quintessential Bollywood actor needs — good looks, famous sibling and a dream debut. But, the Yash Raj film, Mohabbatein (2000), failed to propel her to stardom. “The industry is a tough place to be part of,” she says 17 years later. After a short stint as interior designer, Shetty returns to acting with the web show, Yeh Ke Hua Bro, for Voot. Calling this series synonymous to working on her first film, Shetty reflects on her failures and eternal wait for the “right role.” Excerpts from the interview: What prompted you to take up a web series? We are living in a digital age and people are experimenting with interesting scripts [online]. So, it is the right time to be a part of it. Given that there is no censorship online, people can make what they believe is exciting. Yeh Ke Hua Bro is a comic thriller that follows two girls as they make the boys dance to their tunes. I’ve returned to acting after long. It was like working on my first film. Why have you been away from films for so long? It wasn’t a planned sabbatical. I

‘Success doesn’t last forever, and failure changes you. It can bring out the worst in you’

began my career with the best banner, but made a few mistakes in the successive years. I didn’t want to be part of films just for screen time. Doing good quality roles has always been a priority, but, such offers were limited. The wait for the right role kept getting longer. In the industry, if you’re out of sight, you’re out of mind. When people rarely saw me on screen, they thought I was not interested in acting. I believe luck didn’t favour me. I think I said ‘no’ to too many offers. I wish I hadn’t turned so many down. Did you believe that reality shows Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Bigg Boss would boost your career? I didn’t know what I was getting into while signing up for Bigg Boss. I just wanted to try something new. While the shows taught me a lot, I’m still waiting for something good to come my way. But, the industry is a tough place to be part of. Success doesn’t last forever, and failure changes you. It can bring out the worst in you. What would you call the highpoint of your career? My launch with a YRF film, helmed by Aditya Chopra. Having said that, I think Zeher (2005) changed how people perceived me as an actor. Do you feel burdened being Shilpa Shetty’s sister? Yes! I was not prepared for it initially, but I became immune to the comparison as the years went by. It’s silly to compare two people. We are not alike. Now it doesn’t affect me anymore.

‘Channel has a strategy’ Ghulaam producer says team surprised by decision to axe the daily, but hopes to return with a fresh outing LETTY MARIAM ABRAHAM letty.abraham@mid-day.com GHULAAM had zeroed in on actor Ekta Kaul to headline the thriller, which depicts the pitiful condition of women in Berhampur. The show, which kicked off in January, had come under the spotlight for the apparent tiff between the then lead actors, Vikas Manaktala and Niti Taylor, and Kaul’s entry, it was speculated, would mark the end of the latter’s stint on the show. However, before the inevitable war could spiral beyond control, the channel, Life OK, decided to axe the daily. Co-producer Rahil Qazi says it has little to do with flaring egos. “The channel is set for a revamp,” he says, adding that while the show was originally meant to be part of the new line-up of serials, the channel decided to pull the plug on it. “We were shocked to hear of the developments, but they have a strategy in place and we have to abide by it.” Cast member Param Singh says, “We had done a look test with Ekta and w e r e

Ekta Kaul and producer Rahil Qazi aware of how the show was set to progress,” he says as he questions why a channel would invest in auditioning for a new character and amend the script if they wished to end the show soon. Running a daily means feeding a lot of mouths. While Qazi acknowledges that several workers will lose their jobs, the producers are hopeful that another show from the same team may catch the fancy of the channel. “Apart from the producers, the channel also invests in each show. So, if they’ve decided to discontinue Ghulaam, they’ve thought this through,” Qazi says, adding that the channel is likely to be called Star Bharat.

ANOTHER FRESH BID

A surprise visitor for Khiladi Kumar Akshay Kumar had a surprise visitor on the set while shooting for the promo of his TV show, The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. The Khiladi shot for it on Saturday at Mehboob Studios. Ranveer, who was also shooting in the studio, dropped in to meet him. A lot of guffaws followed.

The star was also keen to meet local resident Afroz Shah, who is sphearheading the beautification drive. Big B offered to provide an earthmover and a tractor to mechanise the efforts.

Fardeen’s bundle of joy Fardeen Khan is a dad again. He took to Twitter yesterday to post a snapshot of the new arrival and wrote, “We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son Azarius Fardeen Khan who was born on the 11th of August 2017.” Wife Natasha Madhwani delivered in London. The couple’s first born is a daughter, Diani Isabella, who is three years old.

Khan planning film with Akki? What caught our attention was when Kabir Khan was spotted on the set of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Saturday. The two spent considerable time in the star’s vanity van. Considering what happened to his last release Tubelight, is the filmmaker planning a project with the bankabale Khiladi? Time will tell.

The ‘it’ bag Known for his fixation for highend brands, Karan Johar’s latest airport look has the filmmaker flaunting a limited edition flaming red designer bag. It is the latest and he is one of the first in the country to own it. The price? Some cool lakhs, but what’s that amount for KJo, who always covets the best of the best.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is in Australia attending the annual Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2017. As part of the preIndependence Day celebrations over the weekend, she hoisted the tricolour at the the iconic Federation Square. Accompanied by daughter Aaradhya, the two twinned in white. The actor was earlier conferred with the Excellence in Global Cinema award at the film festival.

Though just a thought for the moment, the makers of the Irrfan Khan and Saba Qamar-starrer are keen on a sequel to Hindi Medium, which released in May this year. Saket Chaudhary will wield the directorial baton again. The film delved upon the nightmare of school admissions in the country. For its second outing, the plan is to take on another social issue.

Hairy tales John Abraham always felt he could carry off a stubble, but not a moustache on screen. That’s the reason we did not see him with whiskers on screen to date. For his next film, Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran, he is going the extra length by sporting a moustache. He feels the stubble goes well only with his biker image.

The Jim Pattison Group is developing plans to build a 400-room hotel and indoor waterpark resort in B.C. with potential sites identified in both Surrey and Squamish. “We still need to see if this is a project that will work in Surrey and we’ve publicly pursued a site in Squamish as well,” said Michael Lee, vice-president of Jim Pattison Developments.

“Both of those are a possibility.” “Jim Pattison Group sees great potential for a resort in B.C. and we are looking at locations all over the province,” said Keith Simmonds, vice-president and general manager at Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Ont. He didn’t disclose the other potential locations. JPG owns the franchise rights for Great Wolf Lodge hotels and resorts and currently operates a hotel and 100,000-square-foot waterpark in Niagara Falls. Great Wolf Lodge waterparks are open only to overnight guests of the hotel, not the public. Nonetheless, the City of Surrey is rolling out a red carpet for the development. Mayor Linda Hepner listed fast-tracking the project as a priority in a state-of-the city address in May and hosted a meeting with the resort proponents in July.

he $240-million Credit Suisse/ SwissReal tower in the heart of downtown Vancouver will be completed in less than a year, but so far, only one tenant has signed up to move in. The tenant has committed for a 10th of the 370,000 square feet – leaving a state of emptiness that is unusual for an office skyscraper in this city. Even so, a huge shift in business tenancy is expected as the region experiences something it has not seen before: an office-tower building boom much of which is speculative construction rather than for specific committed tenants. “This is kind of uncharted territory for Vancouver,” said Mehdi Shokri, a principal with the capital markets team at Avison Young. “But I don’t see a big disaster occurring.” The Credit Suisse tower is only the most visible and furthest along of a second wave of new office towers planned for Vancouver and some key suburbs. A first cluster of towers – some two million square feet – was built downtown in the past three years. Another 11 office developments are proposed within blocks of Credit Suisse’s Exchange tower at Howe and West Pender streets, even while the office-vacancy rate in the region continues to inch up as a result of the first wave of building. But commercial brokers say the city is not about to be populated by ghost towers.

Mr. Shokri and others say they expect many of the new towers to start signing tenant leases as they get closer to completion. That is partly because companies in Vancouver, which do want to be in new, energy-efficient buildings, tend to operate on short timelines. As well, he said, prices in the new buildings will likely come 4 i Saturday, July 25, 2015down in the

next two years due to competition. The landlords who will likely suffer as a result of the current boom are owners of older buildings, Mr. Shokri said. As well, new developments in the suburbs, which have already experienced higher vacancy rates in recent years, may have trouble as they compete with each other. In Vancouver, the co-developer of the Cred-

According to email correspondence obtained from the city by the Peace Arch News, “Jim Pattison Developments is currently in discussions with (Surrey City Development Corp.) and city staff about plans to develop a 400-room, waterpark-themed family resort in South Surrey. “The resort would bring more than 600 jobs to a South Surrey location, as well as a two-year, $150-million construction, if final approval is given,” reads the statement meant to be attributed to Hepner. The site is rumoured to be a property held by the city near 192nd Street and 16th Avenue. Pattison has also pitched Squamish council on an identically sized resort proposed for a site the company owns on Aspen Road, which would require buying some adjacent land. “Pattison Group made a pitch to council about a year ago and they thought (Squamish) was a good location for the resort and they were pretty committed to the area,” said Acting Mayor Doug Race. The project would require Pattison to acquire a district road right-of-way and provincial Crown land to complete the parcel, Race said. While the resort would double the number of hotel rooms in Squamish, it would also require hundreds of employees in a town already hit by labour shortages, he said. “Great Wolf Lodge doesn’t really provide much as a public amenity,” said Race. “They made it very clear this would not be a place you could drop the kids off for an hour to swim. They operate on a cruise-ship model where they get their guests in and keep them there spending money.”

Toronto’s existing homes market is seeing a massive decline in prices — or is it? The latest numbers from the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Index look like they tell a different story. The index, released Monday, shows Toronto prices actually rose 2.1 per cent from June to July and national prices were up two per cent from a month earlier. The Toronto results, at first glance, appear out of sync with Toronto Real Estate Board results which show prices have declined almost 21.5 per cent from a peak hit in mid-April before the province put in measures like a foreign buyer tax to cool the market in and around the city. But Marc Pinsonneault, an economist with National Bank, said his index needs to be examined more closely and, as his firm went out of its way to explain in a note, that the index reflects a three-month rolling average, or what it calls a ‘smooth index’. The 2.1 per

increase was an average of May, June and July and therefore not fully reflective of the falling Toronto market. Monday, it also released a so-called unsmoothed index, which offers a better snapshot of July, comparing it to June. The result was 0.3 per cent decline for all dwellings in the Toronto region. “When (the index) was built, people wanted to soften the monthly fluctuations,” s a i d Pinsonneault, adding the main index number might not reflect a quickly declining market like Toronto is now seeing. The Teranet-National Bank index also focuses on final sales while TREB initial numbers focus on agreements to purchase – the 30-60 days it might take to close a sale creates a lagging effect. Still, the index results were enough

to convince some that a major correction is coming in Toronto, potentially far beyond what has already been seen. “While homeowners (in Toronto) enjoyed substantial house price gains over the past several years, fuelled mainly by lower interest rates and riskier forms of mortgage lending activity, the recent plunge in resale housing activity over the past three to four months illustrate that a house price correction is already in progress,” said David Madani, an economist with Capital Economics which has been predicting a housing crash since 2011, in a note Monday. “Future price declines could potentially erase the majority of the cumulative price gains over the past decade.” The Toronto market can also be broken

down even further. While a straight comparison of July to June shows prices down 0.3 per cent, removing condos from the equations increases that decline to 1.6 per cent and reflects the divide in the market. Derek Holt, vice-president and head of capital markets economics of Scotiabank Economics, said summer sales numbers even seasonally annualized are probably a poor way to analyze the market. “How much are we going to attach to this (month)? I think you’ve got to get into six or 12 months of data and a meaningful housing market environment,” said Holt. “The sales numbers do show the market (correcting) but I do think in my heart of hearts that it’s going to be a transitory shock (in Toronto) like the one in Vancouver. You will start to rebound.”
