Court stays Subhash Ghai’s Haryana land deal
The Punjab and Haryana High Court Tuesday stayed Bollywood filmmaker Subhash Ghai‘s Mukta Arts from performing any activity on a 20-acre plot purchased from a gram panchayat in Haryana, a lawyer said. Ghai planned to set up a film institute on the land bought in October 2010 in Badhsa village in Jhajjar district, some 25km from Gurgaon. Hearing a plea filed by Nafe Singh and others from the village, Acting Chief Justice MM Kumar ordered status quo on the land and the execution of the sale deed by the gram panchayat. The petitioners’ lawyer Deepak Balyan said, “We told the court that according to the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Rules, the government could only auction such land.” The petitioners claimed that the land belonged to the village community and the gram panchayat and the state government had no right to sell it to a private firm. The Badhsa Gram Panchayat had sent a resolution to the Haryana government January 6, 2010 to permit them to sell land to Mukta Arts. On September 22, 2010, the government allowed the panchayat to sell 20 acres of land at the rate of Rs 24,09,000 per acre. The deal was sealed October 11, 2010. A court at Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar district earlier dismissed a public suit filed by villagers against Ghai acquiring the land.

Shahid Kapoor: I’m not doing ‘Wanted’ sequel
Actor Shahid Kapoor has denied reports that he is starring in Wanted sequel supposedly being planned by choreographer-director Prabhu Deva. “I don’t think anyone can replace Salman Khan. I think because me and Prabhu sir have been meeting up to do a film together and he is choreographing IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) Awards…people are jumping to conclusions,” the 31-year-old said Sunday on the Indian Premier League show Extra Innings. “We have not decided anything yet, what we will do or when. But yes, we are very keen to work with each other. But these are all rumours, I have not said yes to anything,” he added. Directed by Prabhu Deva, Wanted was a remake of Puri Jagannadh’s Telugu hit Pokiri, starring Mahesh Babu.

LOVE WRINKLE FREE quick movie review: Cute indie film sans gimmicks!
Sandeep Mohan’s directorial venture starring Ash Chandler and Shernaz Patel is an entertaining watch… so far
Script is indeed king. Love Wrinkle Free has had no big promotional activities, big names attached to it or any rural item numbers, but in the end, it still touches you the way few films this year have done. Our reviewer (the same one who had his brains addled last week with Department) caught a show of LWF at a local theatre and couldn’t help but rave to us how much he was enjoying it. He texted us during the interval, “LWF is a cute indie film about a couple going through mid life crisis and their daughter who is dealing with an identity crisis. It’s a slice of life film sans any gimmicks. All main characters are wonderfully cast. The use of music is commendable. Ash Chandler is stellar as the manager of an underwear company. There is a great twist at the end of the first half. So far too good!”Click here to read more
