2017 was the year when the ‘P’ squad dominated news channels : Padmavati , Pahlaj and Prern
1. Padmavati: More newsprint and media space went into discussions debates and diatribes on this one film than any other in the history of Indian cinema. As a producer with a penchant for being in the news said to me, ‘Agar ek film ko protest se it 2. Pahlaj Nihalani: Breathe in breathe out…The former chairperson of the CBFC continued to make news for a large part of the year. Whether it was his run-in with the makers of Lipstick Under The Burkha or Babumoshai Bando 3. Taimur Ali Khan: Errrrrrr… the youngest superstar of India? At 1, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s son is a bigger star than his parents. He is clicked and splashed in all the papers and websites more regularly than his star-parents and is way ahead of the other star-kids of Bollywood in the social media. Yup, even Shah Rukh’s Abram. Throughout the year Taimur occupied media space more so than even Anushka Sharma and Virat 4. Prernaa Arora: Easily the most rapidly-rising independent film producer, Prernaa Arora’s success has been swift and surefooted. She began her career as an independent producer in 2016 with the successful Rustom , the film that won Akshay Kumar his first National award. In 2017 she co-produced Toilet Ek Prem Ka 5. Nawazuddin Siddiqui: A premature memoir where he spoke less than graciously about the women in his life , put Nawazuddin in the dock. The actor was mercilessly flailed for his tactless cheesy attitude to women. Through a major part of the year Nawaz was more in the news for his book than his performances.At year-end came some relief from the sordid controversy when Nawazuddin was not dropped from the Bal Thackeray bio-pic.Jaan bachi too croreon
