The Bombay High Court has granted conditional bail to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, and two others, but rejected the bail plea of her brother Showik, her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said here on Wednesday.
Justice S.V. Kotwal, who had completed the hearing on the bail applications on September 29 and reserved his ruling, pronounced the much-anticipated order this morning.
The Court granted bail of Rs one Lakh to Rhea, and for Rs 50,000 each to Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda.
However, Justice Kotwal rejected the bail pleas by Showik Chakraborty and Abdul Basit Parihar.
The five accused had sought bail from the high court after the Special Ndps Court here rejected their applications last month.
They were among the 20 arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (Ncb) in connection with the drugs angle probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday granted conditional bail of Rs one lakh to Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said here.
Justice S.V. Kotwal, who had completed the hearing in her bail application last week and kept his ruling in reserve, pronounced the order this morning.
Arrested on September 9 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (Ncb) in a drug related case, Rhea has spent 28 days in custody till date. She was sent to extended judicial custody by a Special Ndps Court till October 20 on Tuesday.
Welcoming the court order, Maneshinde said, "Truth and justice have prevailed and ultimately the submissions on facts and law have been accepted by Justice Kotwal".
"The arrest and custody of Rhea was totally unwarranted and beyond the reach of law. The hounding and witch hunt by three Central agencies -- the Cbi, Ed and Ncb -- of Rhea should come to an end.

New Delhi, May 10: Veteran lyricist Gulzar is mentoring "Bhindi Baazaar" producer Karan Arora for his new film "Kya Dilli Kya Lahore", which talks about a unique bond between an Indian and a Pakistani soldier stationed at the Indo-Pakistani border.
"I heard the narration before the film went on floors. What I loved about it is the fact that it is an anti-war film and talks about peace but in a very light-hearted manner. It doesn't have bloodshed and is not political in nature at all, yet makes such a beautiful point of peace between two neighbouring countries,".

Gautam Sharma who was to essay the role of the character named Darzi
Makers of upcoming film Bhindi Baazaar Inc. were asked to change a character?s name by the Censor Board
This is not the first time a name has been changed in a film. Earlier Shahrukh Khan was asked to remove the word ?barber? from his film that was later titled simply Billu (2009). Now, the Censor board has raised an objection against the name of one character in the upcoming film Bhindi Bazaaar Inc. A character has been named Darzi (meaning tailor in English) in the film.
What ironic is the fact that the movie deals with prostitution, pimps and gangsters. Also a few outcast words have been used in the film. However, the Censor board didn?t raise any objection regarding all these but a name. Karan Arora, the producer of the film reportedly said, ?My film...

Justifying the postponing the release Karan Arora adds "Bhindi Baazaar Inc while being a niche screenplay also has the street spicy flavour for a wider audience. This not being a flamboyant star studded film needs innovative marketing & efficient publicity push and with reference to the efforts gone in the film I would want the film to get its deserved audience. The primary reason to push the release date of the film is the Ipl as it gets all the media slots and the limelight and then the second reason being the rush of films releasing in April-May clearing the World Cup backlog.

It's been a while since we saw Neil Nitin Mukesh on the silver screen and the same sentiment goes out for Soha Ali Khan. It now seems that we'll have to wait a little more as their upcoming film Tera Kya Hoga Johny is indefinitely delayed. Though the statements issued for the reason are "market conditions" the truth is definitely much more than just that. Major distributors have backed out at the last moment following a spat between the film's producers over pending payments. Though the film was to release on 31st December, now the film is postponed indefinitely. Karan Arora, a UK based businessman has filed a criminal and civil case against the film's producer Manu Kamaran, as the cheques issued by him bounced. Arora was supposed to receive Rs.1.25 crore a month before the release of the film. One would think, that the release date would be finalised...
