Footwear company Bata India Limited on Monday welcomed a magisterial court order that has issued summons to the team of Bollywood movie “Jolly LLB-2”, including actors Akshay Kumar and Annu Kapoor, Director Subhash Kapoor and its producers, in a defamation case.

Bata said that it took very serious note of the derogatory and defamatory reference to the footwear company. In a press statement, Bata stated that it has filed a criminal defamation case against the team of “Jolly LLB-2” for using derogatory remarks and defamatory reference to Bata as a brand in the first official trailer of the movie.

“The official trailer had been trending and been watched rapidly over the internet and in theatres. The brand Bata has been deliberately shown in an extremely bad taste and the dialogue was intended to convey that the brand Bata is adorned only by lower strata of society and one should feel humiliated if one wears Bata footwear,”

The court has found prima facie offence under sections 500 (defamation) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code, which are made out against the accused persons and said that there is sufficient grounds to proceed against them.

“Dangal” actress Zaira Wasim says it’s rather embarrassing to watch herself on the screen.
In conversation with young writer Zuni Chopra, Zaira said:

“I hate to watch myself on the screen. It’s annoying and embarrassing. I never watch my interviews. I am even scared to watch my film.”

What are the challenges when acting?

“I am a debutant and I don’t know about challenges. I just blindly follow the instruction given by directors.

“It’s up to the writers who write brilliantly-shaped scripts and they are the ones who decide what we (actors) should do. I think the entire credit should go to the writers.

“Even in ‘Dangal’, if it would not have been a brilliant script, I don’t think I would have been called a good actor,” she added.

Television Show ‘Shararat’ to have second season?

Born and brought up in Jammu and Kashmir, the 16-year-old actress said it was the love for work that keeps her on toes even if there is a hectic schedule.

“It doesn’t matter what time you are waking up if you love your work. If you love your work, no matter what difficulties come up. It’s like you have to do it.”

Asked how she prepares herself for an intense scene, she said: “If the scene is emotional or intense, I need my own time. I would rather prefer sitting in one dark room try to comprehend what coming up next. Everyone needs their own space, so do I.”

In her personal life, she likes to remain in her own zone.

“I think my life was a little different from how the life of a 16-year-old person should be. I never went out much. My dad used to tell me stories that they used to go out all the time. There is a huge hill right next to my house and I have never been there.”

“Being in this city (Mumbai) is like a dream comes true. I wanted to work with Deepika from a long time. I met her years ago. She requested me she wants to do the premiere in her country. So the fact is that we are here to keep her promise,” he added.

“It was obviously very windy and it was blowing across the court a lot. That makes timing pretty difficult,” Murray said. “It was hard for everyone today.”

The 29-year-old Scotsman, who won the title here in 2008 and 2009, will play third seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in the semi-final as he tries to advance to his first championship match of 2017.

Berdych beat France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the fifth seed and 2012 Qatar Open champion, 7-5, 6-3.

Djokovic, who fell out of the top spot in the rankings in November, sounded pleased with his play after the match.

“I thought in terms of my performance, under the circumstances, I put the level up again, which is great. So everything is going in the right direction,” the 29-year-old Djokovic said.

The Serbian star, who has won 12 Grand Slam titles, will play Spain’s Fernando Verdasco in the semifinals.

Verdasco beat big-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic, the sixth seed, 6-2, 7-5.

“He’s a very complete player,” Djokovic said, referring to Verdasco. “He’s got weapons from the forehand side, big serve (and he’s) very strong.”
