Living alone for many years and virtually jobless, he is sus- pected to have died at least two days ago, and the decomposed body has been sent for autopsy to the Cooper Hospital to ascertain the time and cause of death.

A popular actor in the late 1980s and 1990s, known for his tall and tough body frame, he was usually seen as the main hench- man of villains in several films, but was facing huge financial constraints for many years. Anand acted with top actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Go- vinda, Sanjay Dutt, in major films like ‘Ganga Jamuna Saras- wati’ and ‘Shahenshah’ (1988), ‘Majboor’ (1989), ‘Thanedaar’ (1990), ‘Betaaj Badshah’ (1994), ‘Coolie No. 1’ (1995), ‘Vijeta’ (1996), ‘Lal Badshah,’ ‘Aaya Toofan’ (1999), ‘Baaghi’ and ‘Kurukshetra” (2000), ‘Pyaar Kiya Nahin Jaata’ (2003). After a long gap of over 15 years, he was recently seen in Pahlaj Nihalani’s ‘Rangeela Ra- jaa’ with Govinda, released in No Supernatural Shows: Jasmin January this year.

B-6 | Friday, February 15, 2019 Bollywood www.WeeklyVoice.com ‘Fakir Of Venice‘- A Peep Into Exploitative Tourism Film: “The Fakir of Venice”; Director: Anand Surapur; Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Annu Kapoor, Valentina Carnelutti and Kamal Sidhu; Rating: ***

In his first acting assignment, Farhan Akhtar is splendidly in form as a bit of a jerk. He plays a production controller who can get a film crew anything they want -- from a monkey performing tricks to an exotic fakir performing monkey tricks. Adi is okay with supplying anything, as long as he gets paid. The monkey and the mon- key tricks are aptly equated in the hugely original ferociously flawed script (Rajesh Devraj). When Adi is asked by a museum in Venice to produce a fakir who can bury himself completely in the sand for hours, the narrative brings into play the crass touristic the plot moves in mysteriously Kapoor play off each other ef- Sportingly, Farhan plays the ism.

Jhansi, who acted in the show “Pavitra Bandhan”, was found hanging in her room in an apartment building on Wednesday. A failed love affair is the al- leged reason behind her suicide. In December 2017, Telugu film comedian K. Vijay Sai, 38, was found dead in an apartment. In a selfie video recorded before the suicide, the actor blamed his wife for the extreme action, reports had said. Just last year, Telugu news anchor V. Radhika Reddy committed suicide by jumping off the fifth floor of her apartment building. A suicide note writ- ten in Telugu was found in her handbag. She wrote that her brain was her enemy and that nobody was responsible for her death. Back in 2014, the news of actor Uday Kiran’s sui- cide had left the industry in shock. His decision to take his own life had driven celebrities like Prakash Raj, Vennela Kishore, Kiccha Sudeep and Khush- bu Sundar to raise questions like; “Shouldn’t we find reasons to live?” and “What he must’ve gone through to take such a step? Cruel pressure.” In Bollywood, celebrities have been very vocal about mental health issues in the recent past. Actress Deepika Padukone spearheads a Foun- dation which she founded in 2015 with the aim to tackle the stigma around mental health issues. www.WeeklyVoice.com Bollywood Friday, February 15, 2019 | B-9

The Devel Sixteen

By Nauman Farooq

The 2019 Canadian Interna- tional Auto Show (CIAS) has just kicked off, and is packed with more exciting vehicles and dis- plays than ever. Here are just five of our favorite things at this years auto show: 1- Devel Sixteen: The United Arab Emirates is known for a lot of things – e.g. great buildings, shopping, gold, etc. - and while this wealthy region is no stranger to supercars prowling its streets, it has never built any of them; un- til now! Meet the Devel Sixteen, and not only is it the first supercar LEGO® TECHNIC Bugatti Chiron built in Dubai, it also aims to be the fastest production car ever made! To accomplish this feat, the Devel Sixteen will be powered by a quad-turbo, V16 motor, that is said to be good for 5007 horsepower. How fast will it go? That no one knows just yet, but the ‘mid-level’ 3000 horsepower variant is said to surpass 500 km/h, so one can only imagine what the Devel can achieve with the full 5007 horsepower variant. For the time being, the De- vel Sixteen is still in develop- ment, but those interested in this $3-million supercar can contact the manufacturer and put their name down for one.
