AndhaDhun trailer to be promoted with a wacky and unique social experiment
8:05 AM
BOMBAY TIMES (September 1, 2018)
Director Sriram Raghavan, who has helmed films like Johnny Gaddaar and Badlapur, is counted among the best when it comes to thrillers in Indian cinema. Now, he is back with his next, AndhaDhun. Starring Tabu, Ayushmann Khurrana and Radhika Apte, the film’s quirky title has already garnered attention. And, with its trailer being launched tonight, the buzz around the movie is expected to get stronger.
The makers claim that AndhaDhun breaks many clichés and so, they want to attempt a wacky ‘social experiment’ to promote the trailer as well. Here’s what it is: Most people use all their five senses and they don’t realise how the world would be if one of them stopped working. To prove this point, the makers tried a ‘What Can You See When You Can’t See’ experiment. Many common people as well as celebs like Nora Fatehi, Karan Tacker, Divya Agarwal, Sana Saeed and Sana Khan were given a bunch of tasks that involved the use of smell, touch, taste and intuition. The videos of the event are out on social media and needless to say, the reactions are worth a watch.
AndhaDhun, presented by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and produced by Matchbox Pictures, releases on October 5.
I couldn't take it anymore-Eliminated Bigg Boss 11 contestant Priyank Sharma

Priyank Sharma on why he hit inmate Akash Dadlani, leading to his abrupt exit from his third reality show

Bigg Boss contestant Priyank Sharma, a big hit with youngsters after his appearances in reality shows like Roadies and Splitsvilla, has been ousted in the first week itself. It was not lack of votes that led to his abrupt exit but because he hit co-contestant Akash Dadlani for mocking his friend and producer Vikas Gupta. An enraged Salman Khan who, hosts the show reprimanded him and announced that he would have to leave.
Speaking to Mirror, Priyank acknowledges that his stay in the house was unexpectedly short but is far from upset with the star-host over the turn of events. “Salman bhai is one of the best hosts and knows what is right and what is wrong. I know I wasn’t supposed to push Akash but he knew my intentions. I stood for what was right. There was a lot of abusing happening and in a way he supported me. I have loved and admired him since I was a kid,” asserts the evicted contestant.
Prod him on whether he regrets that his run on this show ended prematurely and he sighs, “Yes, it was too early for me to leave. Bigg Boss was a short, sweet but an incomplete journey but I have no regrets. It’s not the first time someone has pushed another contestant but maybe I could’ve reacted more prudently. Usually I’m calm and positive but inmates like Shilpa Shinde have been abusing Vikas and his family since the first day and Akash followed in her footsteps. I couldn’t take it anymore. But I am apologetic about the way things happened.”
Vikas has often been targeted and mocked for his sexual orientation and Priyank points out that ridiculing someone for their sexuality is unfair. Puneesh Sharma even accused Vikas of practicing the casting couch. “There’s so much negativity in the house,” rues Priyank who, is dating Splitsvilla co-contestant Divya Agarwal. “Yes we are seeing each other.”
