Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor's firm Balaji Telefilms has been found guilty of tax evasion of upto 30 crores.



Three days ago, nearly 100 income tax officers raided the home and offices of Ms Kapoor in Mumbai.
When she was interrogated, sources said that Ms Kapoor, whose father Jeetendra is a famous Bollywood actor, said that she was not involved with the financial management of the company.
The firm has agreed to pay the taxes it owes and a penalty.

Sources say that to avoid taxes, her company had inflated the costs of its different projects.

Balaji produces a slew of popular family soap operas and cost-efficient films. Its new movie, Shootout at Wadala starring John Abraham and Kangana Ranaut, releases today.

The shooting for "Grand Masti", a sequel to 2004 hit sex-comedy "Masti", is over. Vivek Oberoi, who plays one of the male leads in it, says he will miss the team.



"And it's a wraaaaaap! I'm going to miss you guys and the fun times we had on the sets," Vivek shared the news through his tweet.

"Grand Masti" also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani and all three were part of the original.
Vivek further tweeted that he would miss playing pranks on the leading ladies of the film.

"My beautifuuuul leading ladies! Can't believe 'Grand Masti' shooting is over already... who will I play pranks on now? Lol! Had a blast working with you girls!"

Directed by Indra Kumar, "Grand Masti" will feature Sonalee Kulkarni, Maryam Zakaria, Manjari Fadnis, Bruna Abdullah, Kainaat Arora and Karishma Tanna as the female stars. It is set to come out this year.

The producers of Bigg Boss have approached Mithun Chakraborty to host the Bengali version of the reality show. Just a few days back, they had signed Riteish Desmukh for the Marathi version. When media got in touch with Mithun, he confirmed that he has had a meeting with Endemol, the producers of the show. However, he is yet to finalise the deal. “This is true that we have been in talks about hosting the Bengali Bigg Boss. They had called even today. I will give my final answer on Monday,” Mithun told Media through a sms.

It is a big moment for Parineeti Chopra. Winning a national award at so early on in her career is a big achievement. But unfortunately her favourite cousin Priyanka Chopra couldn’t be part of it, even though she intended to.



Priyanka has said to have earlier promised Parineeti that she will make sure to travel with her to Delhi to attend the national award, she couldn’t manage to do so.

Instead, Priyanka sent her mother, Madhu to accompany Parineeti to Delhi.

Last year Priyanka had thrown a party to celeb the success of Ishaqzaade, for which Parineeti won the national award.

A source says, “Priyanka was excited to go to Delhi. She was all set to attend the ceremony but due to some work commitments, she had to cancel her visit.” The source adds, “Priyanka, however, ensured that her mother went instead to give Parineeti the emotional support.” The event was on last Friday and Parineeti celebrated over the weekend in Delhi with her friends and family.

Talking to us from Delhi, she says, “Not only my aunt (Madhu), about 14 relatives came for the function and were whistling, cheering for me even though it was supposed to be a sombre ceremony. We later had a party for 70 other family members. We were all singing, eating and laughing. Everyone was excited to meet each other after such a long time.” So finally, it turned out to be a big, boisterous Punjabi reunion party, even without Priyanka Chopra.

Casting for any multi-starrer project turns into a veritable game of musical chairs. And Zoya Akhtar's ambitious next is no different.



The film, which reportedly has Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor on board, is being keenly followed because of the possibility of Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan being cast as siblings for the first time on screen. Their track is apparently based on the lives of siblings Farhan Akhtar and Zoya.

Now that Ranbir Kapoor is no longer a part of the project, and Zoya is not willing to wait for him to be free of his commitments, the focus has shifted to Ranveer Singh.

According to a source close to the developments, Ranveer has been sounded out for the film and the actor is keen to grab the opportunity.

"Ranveer missed out on working with Kareena in Ram Leela. This time, he wants to make it work. Even if it means he does not get to play the romantic lead," said the source.

Zoya has, so far, refrained from confirming any of the reports about her film.
