Elli EvrRam confirms to be hosting The Great Indian Laughter Challenge!

Recently, we reported about ace comedian Sunil Grover making his comeback to comedy with The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Star Plus. Reportedly, Grover replaced model-turned-actress Elli EvrRam to be a part of the soon-to-be-launched show.

But Elli has exclusively confirmed to Eastern Eye that she is very much a part of the show and that she has not been replaced by anyone. When we recently caught up with the actress at the Sony Pictures Networks India office and asked her if the reports of her being replaced by Sunil Grover on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge are true, she said, "I don't know where the news has come from. But, first of all, I would love to say that Sunil is hilarious. He is really, really funny. But as far as I know, I am doing the show."


When we asked the gorgeous Swedish Greek actress if she has shot for any episode with the team, she added, "No, we are just preparing first right now. But I am hosting the show."

Elli is also in new for her foot-tapping new item number in the upcoming film Poster Boys, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade. Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Sunny Sounds Pvt. Ltd. and Affluence Movie Pvt. Ltd, the film is scheduled to release on 8th September 2018.

Sudha Kongara on ‘Parasakthi’ and online backlash: ‘There is slandering and defamation of the worst kind’

Highlights

  • Sudha Kongara on the turbulence around Parasakthi, from certification demands to online attacks
  • Why the film frames the 1965 anti-Hindi agitation through one man’s choices
  • Balancing politics, melodrama and cinema
  • How music, casting and tone were shaped by craft, not compromise

A film surrounded by noise

Sudha Kongara is among the few Tamil directors whose films carry a distinct voice. With Parasakthi, that voice has had to compete with chaos. Long before release, the film was caught in disputes over its title, shifting cast announcements, ED searches, plagiarism claims and, finally, a list of changes demanded by the Central Board of Film Certification.

In all that, the film itself risked becoming secondary. Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan, Ravi Mohan, Atharvaa and Sreeleela in her Tamil debut, retells the 1965 anti-Hindi imposition agitation in Tamil Nadu. The core of the film unfolds over just 19 days , from January 24–25 to February 12, 1965.
