Even though Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh is doing great business at the box office, not everyone is appreciating the story. Yes, many have praised Shahid’s performance in the film, but many have also called the film misogynistic. Despite all of this it wouldn’t be late for us to see the Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani starrer hitting the 100 crores mark. But now the film’s smooth run seems to have hit a roadblock. Yes, Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed Kabir Singh seems to have upset the doctors.

In the film, Shahid is a doctor who falls in love with Kiara. In the film, Shahid’s character is an alcoholic doctor who falls in love with the medical student (Kiara) and later even gets obsessive and possessive about her turning violent at times. This portrayal has upset some doctors who say that doctors are shown in a bad light through this film. As per reports, a doctor from Mumbai has filed a police complaint against makers. It is also said that the Police have also written a letter to the central Health Minister, Information and Broadcasting Ministry, State Health Ministry, and the Censor Board of Film Certification to stop the screening of Kabir Singh.

While the matter seems to be escalating, we will have to wait and watch what happens further. Till then stay tuned to CineBlitz for more updates.

CINTAA’s Senior Vice President, actor Manoj Joshi met with the Honorable Governor of Maharashtra Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari today. They discussed the issue of senior actors, above the age of 65, not being allowed to shoot. The Honorable Governor assured of necessary co-operation.

The meeting was a dual purpose meeting, reveals Manoj Joshi. The Honourable Governor who has witnessed the freedom struggle wrote an essay on Mahatma Gandhi, participating in the competition organised by the Postal Department as a common man. When he won the competition, he added three times the amount to the prize money and gave the same to the post office employees for protection against COVID19.

“I had been to his place to congratulate him on this amazing gesture as well as honour him with a shawl along with State BJP Secretary and Vice-Chairman, of Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation Ltd (MFSCDCL) Amarjeet Mishra who presented The Hon Governor with an idol of Vithoba and Rukmini.”

Manoj Joshi then briefed the Hon Governor on CINTAA, its history, its members, on the senior citizens who are members of CINTAA on whom their family depends for livelihood, and that they already have had no work for three months. He elaborated that the number of working seniors was not very large, but apart from that, there are continuity issues and producers can not replace them. “The Hon Governor gave us a patient ear. It was a good 40 minute meeting. He was very positive and assured that he would help us in the best way possible. He had received the letter from CINTAA that we had sent him,” elaborates Joshi.

CINTAA had also sent letters to the Hon CM Uddhav Thackeray, Hon Minister Subash Desai and Former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis besides the Hon Governor. “We are glad the meeting with the Hon Governor was an eventful one and are hopeful that the outcome would be a positive one. The meeting was indeed reassuring.”
