bigg boss malayalam host mohanlal
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal on Saturday unveiled the motion poster of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season One, which will go on air from June 24. He will be anchoring the weekend episodes, where he will be sharing his thoughts on the activities inside the Bigg Boss house. The actor will also be conducting weekly elimination rounds.
It will be interesting to see what distinct style the versatile actor will bring to the show as compared to his southern counterparts Kamal Hassan, Sudeep and latest entrant Nani. “No more small games. From here on, Big.. Only Bigg games,” says the actor in the motion poster.
Mohanlal is not new to the television industry. He made his debut on the small screen last year with the entertainment talk show Lal Salaam. The show built around Mohanlal’s career spanning over four decades had 22 episodes. Lal Salaam hosted celebrity guests and honoured humanitarian and social workers among other interactive activities.
The produces have been widening the market for Bigg Boss with focus on regional languages. The reality TV show is already a smash hit in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. And the show is a success in Marathi.
“Bigg Boss is the biggest reality show in the country and with it doing fabulously well in regional languages (Tamil, Kannada, Bengali and now Marathi), it was only feasible that the Malayalam market be also explored. The makers wanted a big star to be the face of the show and who better than Mohanlal to take charge. The team will soon finalise on the theme, post which the Bigg Boss house would be set up. They are already searching for 15 celebrities, who will be locked inside the house for around 100 days,” a source had told Indianexpress.com earlier.
In Hindi, the show has successfully completed 11 seasons and it has been revived for season 12. The second season of Bigg Boss Telugu with its new host Nani will also begin this month. In Tamil, Kamal will return as the host for season two soon. And Sudeep has been the face of the show in Kannada since its inception in 2013.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
