Even though Bollywood prefers thumping music these days, there is one person who will always be remembered for his simplicity and his undying passion towards his music... the music master Ravindra Jain. The sad news is that Jain is no longer with us as he set for heavenly abode today. Recently, he was admitted to Lilavati Hospital due to his bad health (urinary infection causing a problem in his kidney as per reports). The irony of his life was that despite being born blind, his music served as an eye opener to many. He never let his blindness handicap his creativity in any manner. His work (read 'gems') can be heard and felt in films like Insaf ka Tarazu, Raja Harishchandra, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se, Chitchor and many others. We at Bollywood Hungama offer our heartfelt condolence to his family and pray that the departed soul rests in eternal peace.

When filmmaker Nikhil Advani met the Showman Subhash Ghai on Saturday to narrate his interpretation of Ghai's 1983 blockbuster Hero, Nikhil never imagined Ghai would respond so warmly to the new-age Hero. Apparently, Nikhil has completely re-written Hero, giving a new-age twist to every character and situation in the original. Says a source close to the project, "Salman Khan who produces the Hero remake wanted every character and situation from the original to be changed. While Jackie Shroff was a soft-hearted goonda in Ghai's Hero, Sooraj Pancholi would be a hardened criminal in the remake. The entire original script has been dismantled and deconstructed by Nikhil Advani and his co-writer Umesh Bist. Nikhil went to Ghai as a gesture of respect for the creator of the original material. He didn't expect his re-mixed Hero would get such a thumping approval from Subhashji." Normally, remakes leave the original directors very pissed off.
