Contrary to the popular perception, Ananya Panday said he's the first one to pinch her bubble world. Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast Figuring Out, the CTRL actor said, "He (Karan Johar) is very perceptive and very open, and he doesn't want to shield himself, so I didn't think he wants it for any of us, you know. He wants us to be in the real world and get as much exposure as possible."

Ananya, who headlined a series titled Call Me Bae under Karan Johar's production, also shared that Karan is the first one who pops the bubble world around her.  Ananya said, "Not at all. He is the first one to pop the bubble. Rather than feeding us, ki yeh karna hai woh karna hai (telling us to do this or that), he's just there as a strong pillar of support." Ananya also shared Karan calls her if he doesn't like her performance or a remark made during an interview.

On Ananya's 26th birthday, she received a hilarious birthday wish from her mentor Karan Johar. The filmmaker shared a selfie with Ananya on his Instagram Stories and wrote, "It's her birthday, she insisted I post."

Expressing his love and admiration for his wife Lin Laishram, Randeep said, “Meri patni Lin mere liye bhagyashali sabit huin hain. Wedding anniversary pat main chhuti lunga maine sabko bol diya hai. [My wife has been lucky for me. I will take a day off on my wedding anniversary (November 29).]

Back in September, the couple visited the Lalbaugcha Raja in Mumbai to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Sharing pictures from their visit, Lin Laishram wrote, “As we say goodbye to Lord Ganesh, let's carry his blessings with us, trusting that he will remove all obstacles in our path. May his departure bring peace, especially to the people of Manipur, and may we all unite to protect and save innocent lives. Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkarya!”

On the work front, Randeep Hooda will next be seen in Jaat alongside Sunny Deol. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the film is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory.

The band comprising five members—Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, debuted in 2022 and garnered huge success with just their maiden album. Recently, the group made news when they announced their exit from their agency ADOR, a division of HYBE Corporation. Soon after, ADOR issued a statement claiming that their contract with NewJeans is valid till 2029. "ADOR never breached the contract, and just because (the members of NewJeans) argue that trust has been broken, it does not mean that the contracts can be terminated," read the statement. 

This situation seems to be the result of months of escalating tensions between HYBE and Min Hee Jin. The former ADOR CEO is touted to be the mentor of NewJeans and she was also the executive producer of the group. Min Hee Jin was made to step down from her position at ADOR in August, which did not sit well with NewJeans. Since Min Hee Jin's removal as ADOR CEO, the group has allegedly been getting mistreated by the company. They have accused ADOR of workplace harassment and violating their artists' rights, which finally culminated in their exit from the company. 

HYBE Vs Min Hee Jin

On April 22, it was reported that HYBE had started an audit of ADOR and requested Min Hee Jin's resignation, citing suspicions that she was attempting a coup for sole management rights of ADOR (and thus, NewJeans). ADOR released a statement in reaction to the audit, accusing Hybe of plagiarism, infringement of creative work, and deliberate attempts to discredit the accomplishments of both ADOR and NewJeans. 

To remove Min from her position, HYBE called an urgent shareholders' meeting at the beginning of May. All five of the NewJeans members filed court petitions supporting Min's request for an injunction to halt the meeting, while other Hybe executives filed petitions supporting the parent firm. Ultimately, the injunction was granted after the court decided that HYBE lacked evidence against Min to warrant a dismissal. 

NewJeans Vs HYBE and ADOR

After months-long disputes and conflicts between Min Hee Jin and HYBE, Min finally stepped down from the CEO position on August 27 but kept the position of NewJeans' creative director. Amidst this, NewJeans openly stated their support for Min Hee Jin. In a surprise YouTube livestream on September 11, the group expressed their dissatisfaction with HYBE's management skills and highlighted her crucial role in forming their identity. 

As the controversy grew, attention shifted to NewJeans' struggle against what they called a toxic work environment. On October 15, the group's member Hanni gave testimony before the Environment and Labor Committee of the South Korean National Assembly, detailing instances of harassment and discrimination at ADOR. 

Amidst escalating hostilities, NewJeans gave ADOR an ultimatum on November 13, pointing out several violations of their exclusive contract and threatening to end the arrangement if they weren't fixed in 14 days. On November 20, Min Hee Jin formally stepped down as the creative director of ADOR. 

Days later, NewJeans announced their contract termination with ADOR after failing to reach an agreement with their company. Although ADOR denied their claims and insisted that the group is still bound to their label by contract, NewJeans has declared its intentions to stay together even after exiting the company. The group plans to fight for the NewJeans trademarks in court.

]]> Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:41:40 +0530 Editor Sikandar Ka Muqaddar Review: The Film Has Neither Spark Nor Sparkle https://noidamirror.com/sikandar-ka-muqaddar-review-the-film-has-neither-spark-nor-sparkle https://noidamirror.com/sikandar-ka-muqaddar-review-the-film-has-neither-spark-nor-sparkle Think up a character. Name him Sikandar. He may or may not master of his destiny. Pit the clean-cut guy against a dogged lawman determined to control the man's muqaddar. Lo and behold, you have a handy title that harks back to a 1978 Amitabh Bachchan megahit with which this Netflix film has nothing to do.

The words, situations and actions that Sikandar Ka Muqaddar packs into its runtime of nearly two and a half hours are all perfectly in order until the makers seek to turn the clock back so much that the whole contraption is on the brink of collapsing in an ungainly heap. If it does not, it is only because the film isn't really aiming all that high. The fall, therefore, isn't too precipitous.

The fate of Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, produced, directed and co-written by Neeraj Pandey, is sealed primarily by its ill-advised insistence on embracing and playing up mothballed generic methods that were once the mainstay of Mumbai potboilers. They stick out no matter how harmless they are.

As obsessions and aspirations collide in this lowkey crime thriller, a cop with an unblemished detection record targets a seemingly gormless bloke who instils and repairs computers for a living. The titular protagonist, Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwary), a man from Kanpur, is both a mouse and a hare.

The investigator, Jaswinder Singh (Jimmy Shergill), unrelenting in his pursuit, is a cat and a wolf rolled into one. For him, the hunt is as much a game as a chase.

The former pays the price for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The latter suffers the consequences of diving inordinately deep into a case. Sikandar encounters one misfortune after misfortune as he tries to gather the pieces of a life torn to shreds by the cocksure, know-all cop, the latter, too, has his share of hell to pay.

The film opens in 2009. Four armed men plan to raid a diamond fair in Mumbai. The police are tipped off. The robbery attempt is thwarted. The criminals are gunned down. In the melee, five red solitaires disappear. IO Jaswinder Singh, who prides himself on his mool vritti (instinct), rounds up three suspects.

Besides Sikandar, who is at the scene of the crime to supervise the AV systems installed there, the needle of suspicion points to two employees of a diamond trading firm, Mangesh Desai (Rajeev Mehta) and Kamini Singh (Tamannaah Bhatia).

Although Sikandar is number three on the list of suspects, Jaswinder has a gut feeling that the computer technician is the man to nail. He spares no effort to get the accused to make a clean breast. The trio pleads innocence.

Cut to 15 years later. Sikandar has moved on. He now works for a construction company in Abu Dhabi. Back in Mumbai, Jaswinder hits the skids. He is dismissed from the police force (for being drunk on duty) and is divorced by his wife, Kaushalya (Divya Dutta) on the same day.

As he sits on the terrace of a bar drinking himself silly, Jaswinder remembers Sikandar, the man he hounded out of the country a decade and a half ago. It's time for the first for a flashback. There are many more as the film zigzags its way between 2009 and the present day.

Sikandar Ka Muqaddar repeatedly breaches the line that separates the whimsical from the arbitrary. It errs more on the side of the latter. The fare that is rustled up in the bargain adds up to little. The film has neither spark nor sparkle.

When Sikandar Sharma returns to Mumbai for a long-awaited meeting with his one-time tormentor, Jaswinder Singh confesses to him that his instinct failed him for once. But the admission, predictably, does not mark the end of the story.

At one point in the conversation, Jaswinder suggests that Sikandar's story should be titled Teen Devian (a 1965 Dev Anand film). Indeed, the latter has three women in his life - Kamini, a single mother left by her husband for another woman; Priya Sawant (Ridhima Pandit), a nurse who helps him take care of his ailing mother; and Tabassum Khan (Zoya

Afroz), a colleague who accompanies him on weekly movie dates in Abu Dhabi.

It turns out that all three, Kamini much more than the others, have had a role to play in shaping Sikandar's muqaddar. By the time the audience is allowed to be privy to what each one has brought to the table, the battle of attrition between the two men turns into a desultorily up-and-down affair, more words than action.

Even to the most inveterate of mystery movie lovers, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is unlikely to deliver any genuine delights. Its narrative arc is wholly in the realms of the expected. It is from miles away that one can see what is coming, with Sikandar sliding into chaos and misery every time he seems to be close to a turnaround.

A move to Agra with his wife to take up employment in a glass factory owned by a friend's maternal uncle augurs well. But the escape is short-lived as setbacks pile up quickly and the man is back to running for cover.

Much of the background score in Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is jarring. It is hardly in sync with the needs of a film playing on a streaming platform. On the big screen, the decibels might have passed muster, especially because one of the key ideas of the film is to evoke an era gone by. But in a smaller, more intimate format, it sounds way too excessive.

The three key members of the cast - Avinash Tiwary, Jimmy Shergill and Tamannaah Bhatia - strain every muscle in their histrionic armoury to make their way through a film that struggles with pace and erratic energy levels.

Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is smartly packaged. What it needed more of was novelty in the matter of what it crams into its bag of contrived tricks. The missing solitaires do inevitably show up, but neither the diamonds nor the subsequent twists that the stones trigger alter the fortunes of the flagging film.

The two are set to appear in the debut episode of the talk show Be A Parent Yaar Season 2. On Thursday, the makers released a promo where Ananya is seen talking about how her father needs to delete his Instagram account. She says, “You on Instagram, need to be deleted because you just keep liking anything without reading it and getting into more trouble.” Chunky Panday lovingly replies, “I just keep liking wherever I see your photograph.”

In the same promo, the veteran actor asks Ananya Panday if being his daughter has given her any “privileges.” To this, the actress replies, “Nepotism, they have attached this shame to it. I don't want to not be known as your daughter.” When Ananya asks her father, “Do you think I am a good actor?” Chunky Panday's LOL reply is, “At home or on screen?”

Chunky Panday also discusses how Ananya Panday approaches her work, noting that she first reads the script and then decides to take on a film, rather than just going with the flow. He advises her, “Sometimes, you have to just do a film.” Ananya fires back, saying, “You don't have to give me advice after Liger.”

At one point, Chunky Panday asks Ananya, “Do you think you and I talk enough?” Ananya Panday responds, “Today is the most I think I have spoken to you in my life.” The promo also features Chunky saying, “I love you, Ananya,” to which the actress responds, “I love you, Dad.” The father-daughter duo shares a warm hug towards the end.

It was earlier reported that the 20-year-old died after battling cancer. Months after her death, her mother Tanya Singh shared a long note on social media, clarifying that Tishaa did not have cancer, as previously reported. In her note, Tanya revealed that Tishaa's death was the result of a "misdiagnosis". She wrote, "A lot of people have been writing and asking me to tell what happened. Truth is subjective & relative to how one perceives it. When a pure innocent soul goes through injustice due to someone / some other bad doings, things get complicated and confusing & suddenly it's too late."

She further stated that sometimes, a person's life can be taken due to someone else's wrongdoings. She added, "No matter what anyone else thinks, the truth will eventually reveal itself." Tanya also shared that despite facing challenges, her daughter never "succumbed to fear or depression". She described Tishaa as "the bravest version of brave" and "the most fearless 20-year-old ever."

Tanya clarified that Tishaa did not have cancer. She explained, "The truth is that my daughter never had cancer. At the age of 15 and a half, she received a vaccine that possibly triggered an autoimmune condition, wrongly diagnosed (we did not know this at the time)." In her message, Tanya urged parents to seek multiple opinions before proceeding with tests like bone marrow tests or biopsies if their child experiences lymph node swelling. She pointed out that swollen lymph nodes can be caused by emotional trauma or untreated infections, and not just medical conditions. Tanya shared that their family had been drawn into a "medical trap" before they discovered the truth.

She concluded, "Parents if God forbid your child just has 'lymph node swellings'~ PLEASE make sure to get a second & third opinion before going in for a 'bone-marrow test or a biopsy. Lymph nodes are the body's defence guards & they can also swell due to emotional trauma etc or due to a previous infection not being treated fully. We were already sucked into the 'medical trap' much before all this information found us. I pray daily that no kid should ever have to face this cruel world of medical traps or hidden negative forces.

Tishaa Kumar's mother Tanya Singh is the daughter of composer Ajit Singh and sister of actress Nattasha Singh.

But you must not get scared)” to which Digvijay assures that he would not be afraid. “Meri phategi tujhse? (I will get scared?)” he asks Avinash mockingly.,

Digvijay Rathee and Avinash Mishra's brawl gets intensified with Digvijay telling his co-contestant, “Bahar milega na toh bahar ukhad lunga (Meet me outside and then you will see).” “Ukhad lena tu. Tu aa jaana (Do whatever you wish. You just come)” retorts Avinash aggressively. 

An angry Avinash Mishra then gets up to lift a tray and puts it in Digvijay's lap. He says, “Yeh mei Digvijay ke liye lae raha hun agar barana hai toh barale warne apne kaam ke liye kuch rakh sakta hai toh rakhle. (I am bringing this for Digvijay. If you want to increase the contents inside then do it or else if you can keep something in it for your use then you are free to do it as well.).” Avinash's gesture prompts shocked reactions from the other housemates. 

This was not the first time viewers witnessed a heated exchange between Avinash Mishra and Digvijay Rathee. Previously, the two got embroiled in a physical fight during a task. In a video posted by the makers on Instagram, both parties were seen using crude language against each other. In a fit of fury, Digvijay pushed Avinash and the latter imitated the violent gesture.

Last year, Aishwarya revealed that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer. She spoke about her mother's cancer battle during a special event organized by the GSB Seva Mandal for cancer patients. At the time, Aishwarya opened up about the impact of cancer on her family, adding that her father, Krishnaraj Rai, had tragically died from cancer in March 2017. Aishwarya shared, "Cancer has touched our lives personally. First, it was my dad, and then my mum got it earlier this year, but she has come out of it, with the support of so many incredible doctors and a lot of love and blessings from everyone."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is currently in the news. Courtesy: the ongoing divorce rumours with Abhishek Bachchan. These rumours gained traction when the couple arrived separately at a high-profile wedding In July. The speculation intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the increase in "grey divorces," which further fuelled the divorce rumours.

The post, which Abhishek Bachchan liked, revolves around the idea of "Why love stops being easy." It also states, "Couples who have been married for long are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?"

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan married in April 2007. The two welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in November 2011. So far, the couple have not confirmed nor denied the divorce rumours.

On the professional front, they worked together in several films such as Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000), Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Dhoom 2 (2006), Umrao Jaan (2006), Guru (2007), Sarkar Raj (2008), and Raavan (2010)."

]]> Fri, 29 Nov 2024 19:41:40 +0530 Editor Rhythm Of Dammam Review: An Exceptionally Evocative, Visually Arresting Film https://noidamirror.com/rhythm-of-dammam-review-an-exceptionally-evocative-visually-arresting-film https://noidamirror.com/rhythm-of-dammam-review-an-exceptionally-evocative-visually-arresting-film The Siddis, a community unrepresented in Indian cinema, is under the spotlight in Rhythm of Dammam, an exceptionally evocative, visually arresting film written and directed by Kerala-born, New York-based Jayan Cherian.

The film premiered this week at the 55th International Film Festival of India in Goa. It is now headed to the International Competition line-up of the upcoming 29th International Film Festival of Kerala.

Rhythm of Dammam - the title alludes to a musical tradition germane to the Siddi way of life - shines a light on the plight of the marginalised Afro-Indian tribe that languishes at the bottom of India's social hierarchy.

In 2013, Cherian's debut feature, Papilio Buddha, probed systemic and physical violence perpetrated against Dalits, women and the environment. Three years later, he made Ka Bodyscapes, a film about three rebellious millennials who defy notions of gender and sexuality perpetuated to a change-averse society.

Rhythm of Dammam isn't quite as subversive but, like the filmmaker's previous films, is political to the core. Using relatively muted means, it examines the marginalization of the Siddis who have suffered centuries of oppression.

Cherian's script, which draws liberally from his extensive documentation of the lives of the forest dwellers, alludes tangentially yet unambiguously to the obliteration of the endangered minority's history, culture and language.

Rhythm of Dammam, lit and lensed by Sabin Uralikandy, has the tone and texture of a documentary. However, the seeds of an ethnographic film embedded in the film are grafted upon a full-blown fictional structure for the purpose of elucidation. The strategy works wonderfully well.

The film's protagonist, a 12-year-old Siddi boy, Jayaram (Chinmaya Siddi), struggles to come to terms with the demise of his grandfather Rama Bantu Siddi (Parashuram Siddi). His anguish, bewilderment and fears are aggravated by the ways in which the adults around him react to the death and its aftermath.

His alcoholic, debt-ridden father Bhaskara (Prashant Siddi, widely known to Kannada movie fans), bickers endlessly with his younger brother Ganapathi (Nagaraj Siddi). The two men have their eyes on what the deceased man is believed to have bequeathed to them.

Their home and the land on which it stands are in danger of being seized by the upper-caste landlord to whom Bhaskara owes a few thousand rupees. He hopes to avert the eventuality with the inherited money. But the box Bhaskara digs out of a corner of the house contains trinkets of little material worth.

To Jayaram, however, the heirloom, no matter how worthless, become a ready, if unsettling, conduit to the hoary roots of his brutally exploited tribe who were brought to India as slaves by Portuguese and Arab traders and thereafter left to deal with continuing subjugation and persecution over many centuries.

The principal actors in Rhythm of Dammam, set in Yellapur in the Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, where a large percentage of Hindu Siddis are concentrated, are all non-actors from the community. The actors cast as non-tribals, all tertiary characters - the landlord, a doctor, or an instructor in a tribal boys' hostel - are (or look like) real people.

Cherian sets the actors free to improvise their performances, songs and dances. Many extended shots with a static camera provide naturalistic, unmediated frames to create a tangible context for the sufferings of the Siddis even as Jayaram's visions of his forebears transport the boy, and the audience, to a surreal, often disturbing, zone.

The assimilation of the Siddis we see in the film is complete, so, ironically, is their alienation from mainstream India. They speak a creole of Konkani, which is the language of their religious chants. Their gods and rituals are Hindu. But their spirit - embodied in the white-robed figure of the grandfather Jayaram sees and touches in his dreams/nightmares - is driven by a yearning for an identity.

Politics makes its emphatic way into Rhythm of Dammam. The songs and dances of the Siddis, performed to the accompaniment of the dual-headed cylinder drums called dammam, which also gives their principal musical tradition its name.

The dances are studiedly unchoreographed. The actors work themselves up into a frenzy and create their own moves once they get into the swing of the music. It is marked by a distinctly Afro accent.

Haunted by what his grandpa is trying to tell him, Jayaram turns febrile, teeters on the edge of delirium, and is branded a problem child in need of healing. A fretful mother, an aunt possessed by Goddess Yellamma, a community shaman and a doctor who prescribes psychiatric treatment suggest ways to help the boy tide over his problem.

Jayaram's fragile state of mind reflects the reality of a community that dangles between a past they have all but forgotten and a present that they would rather put behind them.

A young man raps angrily, bemoaning the community's loss of the soul, language and identity. The languages Jayaram speaks serve to denote how far removed the Siddis of India are from their Bantu roots.

In Jayaram's school, the medium of instruction is Kannada. The teacher, a non-Siddi, makes the students recite a patriotic pledge before testing the students' knowledge of the world's seven continents. Jayaram is lost in thought.

The teacher ridicules him. He asks: Where do you live, Jayaram? Please, the boy replies. That is the name of his village. Jayaram's ancestry, straddling two continents, is shrouded in a dense haze. For him, the assertion of specificity of location stems from a desire to belong.

When Jayaram is admitted to a hostel, the mass prayer there, rendered in Sanskrit, is overtly religious. Every step that he moves away from his moorings is indicative of the blows that his ancestors have faced.

Amid the politics that Rhythm of Dammam espouses, Cherian sprinkles the narrative with pure magic seen through the pristine eyes of a pre-teen boy. The tender, poetic imagery suggests a despairing search for stability amid a frightening absence of certitude.

Rhythm of Dammam trains its empathetic spotlight on the troubles of one community. But not only does the film give voice to the voiceless, it also speaks to all those who find themselves painted into a corner by history.

Hitting all the right notes, Rhythm of Dammam laments the undermining of a civilisational tapestry that thrives on diversity.

The Bangarraju actor opened up about how he first met his wife-to-be and how their families have been bonding with each other over the last few months. Naga Chaitanya shared he first met Sobhita at a work event in Mumbai. "I was in Mumbai for the launch of my OTT show, during that time, she did have a show with the same platform as well. We first interacted at the event hosted by the OTT platform," he said. 

Asked about how their families get along with each other in the last few months, Nagarjuna's son told Zoom, "It's been lovely getting to know Sobhita and her family the past few months, watching the families interact has been a joy. I am really looking forward to and excited for the wedding day, going through all the rituals and watching the families come together."

He added, "I am treated like a son. There has been a lot of comfort and many things in common from the get-go. Sobhita is a family girl, and we have all celebrated a couple of festivals together as well."

During the same interview, Naga Chaitanya dismissed the speculation around selling their wedding video to an OTT platform. "This is false news. There is no such deal," replied the actor. The Premam actor asserted that his wedding would be "lavish" in terms of rituals as Sobhita's family has taken a "keen interest" in following traditional customs. "It's a very intimate guest list with only immediate family and friends," he concluded.

Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya will marry on December 4 at the Annapurna Studios, Hyderabad. The studio holds a sentimental value for the Akkineni family symbolising their long legacy in the Telugu film industry.

The actress has launched a new restaurant called the Scarlett House in Bandra, Mumbai. She has collaborated with her son Arhaan Khan for the project. Housed in a 90-year-old Portuguese home, the eatery is the brainchild of Malaika, Arhaan, his childhood friend Malaya Nagpal and restaurateur Dhaval Udeshi.

Malaika Arora announced her latest business venture in an Instagram post on Thursday. The actress shared a picture with her son and business partner Arhaan, which featured the mother-son duo wearing matching black jackets with the text, “Scarlett House” written on the back. They were captured standing in the hallway of their new restaurant, which was covered with floral red wallpaper. The caption on the post read, “Collaborating for the first time @scarletthousebombay.” 

Soon after the announcement was made, Malaika Arora received congratulatory messages from her friends and family. Sharing the announcement post on her Instagram Stories, Kareena Kapoor wrote, "Congratulations, Malla and Arhaan. Can't wait to come in and eat.”

Poonam Sinha shared an old adage on the show which didn't sit well with the Internet. Poonam Sinha said, "Meri mummy ne kaha tha ki hamesha ussi se shaadi karna jo tumko zyada pyaar kare. Voh toh maine sunn liya, kar bhi liya. Lekin meri beti ne kya kiya? Usne usse shaadi ki jisko yeh zyada pyaar karti hai (My mother used to say, 'marry the one who loves you more than you do. I have heard it and followed it. But what has my daughter done? She married a person whom she loves more than he loves her)."

If at all her mother's comment left her discomfited, Sonakshi Sinha didn't show it and responded deftly. "Wo thoda debatable hai. Usko (Zaheer) lagta hai voh mujhse zyada pyaar karta hai. Mujhe lagta hai main usse zyada pyaar karti hoon. Ab settle kaun karega yeh maamla? (It's debatable. He thinks he loves me more and I think I love him more. Who will settle the case?)."

The clip was shared on Reddit and the Internet shared its views on it in no time. A user wrote, "Oh god, that was actually so sad and awkward to watch. They thought her statement was heading in a completely different direction and celebrated a little too early. You can see he was a bit hurt by where that went." Another wrote, "Sona handled it really well. You could see she sensed that he felt bad about it". A third comment read, "The way Sonakshi handled it is really impressive. But I really felt bad for that guy."

Kapil's show also stars Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur and Archana Puran Singh. Season 2 promises to celebrate India and its rich culture with the superstars of the country. The format of The Great Indian Kapil Show is largely identical to that of Sharma's former shows The Kapil Sharma Show and Comedy Nights with Kapil. The Great Indian Kapil Show stream on Netflix.

The actress turns 35 today (Thursday). Yami made her Bollywood debut alongside Ayushmann Khurrana in 2012 film Vicky Donor. Since then, the actress has shown her versatility by playing different roles in several projects. From portraying a kidnapper or a goofy girl next door to a visually handicapped woman and a fierce RAW agent, Yami has done it all. The actress has chosen her projects carefully, often focusing on quality rather than the length of her role. On her birthday, here are Yami's eight best performances to watch, that show her range as an actress. 

Vicky Donor (2012)
This Yami Gautam and Ayushmann Khurrana film has stayed in our hearts rent-free. Yami played the role of a banker in the Shoojit Sircar film.

Kaabil (2017)
Yami played the female lead Supriya opposite Hrithik Roshan's Rohan in the film. Yami's character is an independent working woman who is blind since birth. She falls in love with Rohan, a voiceover artist who's also blind. Their marital life is rocked when Supriya is assaulted by a couple of men and she kills herself when they get no justice but only humiliation. Yami brought out the vulnerability and strength of the character with great sensitivity, and Kaabil became one of the highest-grossing films of the year.

URI- The Surgical Strike (2019)
Yami played RAW analyst and undercover agent Pallavi Sharma, who isn't afraid to work in the field. Her character is shown in her element as she interrogates terrorists and takes part in planning the surgical strike. It was one of the few films at the time that showed a female character actively participating in the military.

A Thursday (2022)
In the vigilante thriller, Yami Gautam takes the forefront and steps into the intense role of Naina Jaiswal. From the body language to the characterizations to the appearance, she brilliantly stepped into the skin of the character and won widespread acclaim from everyone.

Lost (2022)
In the thriller film, Yami Gautam surprised everyone with her dynamic performance as Vidhi Sahani. The actress portrayed the dimensions of her character brilliantly, yet again, truly cementing her position as a force to be reckoned with. 

Chor Nikal Kar Bhaaga (2023)
The heist thriller Chor Nikal Kar Bhaaga features Yami Gautam in the role of Neha Grover. As the film progressed, it unfolded several layers of her character, which Yami Gautam tapped on very perfectly.

OMG 2 (2023)
In last year's one of the biggest blockbusters, OMG 2, Yami stepped into the role of Kamini Maheshwari. With a very solid performance as a lawyer, the actress effortlessly blended herself into the character and gave an excellent performance.

Article 370 (2024)

In this year's blockbuster hit, Article 370, Yami Gautam dominated the screen with her brilliant performance as Zooni Haksar. From the action sequences to the dramatic scenes and emotional sequences, the actress truly stole the show and carried the film on her own. From the critics to the audiences, the actress garnered praise from everyone for her extraordinary performance in the film.

Speaking to NDTV, the proud filmmaker said she believes the global audience will connect to the film despite its setting and across cultural divides.

"I think that the film touches upon such universal themes that I am very hopeful that it will cut across any kind of cultural barriers, language, the idea of rural and urban, and appeal as a story of the sisterhood, a story of women, a story of looking after each other. I feel like it's a story of hope. So, I feel that globally as well there's a lot that perhaps people will connect to in the film," Kiran Rao said in an interview shortly after the announcement.

Does the popularity of Laapataa Ladies show a growing audience internationally for Indian films, even set in a rural backdrop? "I do think that the more authentic and rooted and organic the films are, the more they appeal to the international audience because they truly give you a window of insight into a different culture, into also what are sometimes very shared problems or concerns for us as global citizens. I do think that even though the film is very particular to India, perhaps particular to this little village, it still speaks I think the language of shared hopes for women and progress," said the 50-year-old filmmaker.

Directed by Kiran Rao and produced under the banners of Aamir Khan Productions, Kindling Pictures, and Jio Studios, Laapataa Ladies was released in theatres on March 1, 2024. The film features a completely new cast - Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastav, and Chhaya Kadam - ably supported by veteran actor Ravi Kishan.

Laapataa Ladies is a film about two brides who are inadvertently exchanged during a train journey. The plot, set against rural India in 2001, unfolds as their husbands embark on a quest to find their true brides, leading to a series of unexpected twists and turns.

Laapataa Ladies was picked up for the Oscars 2025 from a competitive list of 29 films, including movies in different languages, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam, among others.

At a pre-release event of the film in Kochi, Allu Arjun finally addressed the issue of "missing" Fahadh Faasil from the promotions. He said at the event, "For the first time in all my films, I have worked with one of the best Malayalam actors, our FaFa. I actually miss seeing him today. I really wish we both were standing here together in Kerala today. That would have been an iconic thing. My brother, thank you! I wish we were here together. I wish you all the best. I'm telling all the Keralites here, FaFa has rocked the show in Pushpa 2 and he will make every Mallu proud throughout the world."

Rashmika Mandanna also thanked fans in Kochi. Sharing the photos, Rashmika wrote, "Hey guys. Today I am in Kochi. And coming to Kochi always makes my heart so happy happy.  Thank you my loves.. your love feels so pure and nice and I get engulfed in it fully. Always. Thank you so much for always loving me this way and supporting me this way. I love you. I promise you Pushpa 2 on Dec 5th is not going to disappoint you at all." Take a look:

The trailer of the film was released a few weeks ago. Pushpa, a small-town red sandalwood smuggler has expanded his horizon. He's now "international" and his nemesis SP Bhanwar Singh (Fahadh Faasil) won't stop at anything until he teaches him a lesson. But Pushpa (as the name suggests) is not delicate as a flower. He can spread like wild fire and he won't compromise with his principles. The trailer is an eulogy for Pushpa the character, Pushpa the brand and everything that Pushpa breathes for. Pushpa AKA Allu Arjun says, he will never let go of his dues no matter what price he has to pay for that.

The USP of this installment is an epic showdown between Pushpa and SP Bhanwar Singh. They will confront each other on land, in water, in the jungle and will not leave an inch to each other on the battle ground. The trailer also shows snippets of local rituals, traditions and a lot of swag and style which is synonymous with Pushpa. 

Pushpa 2 - The Rule - is written and directed by Sukumar. It is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings. It's the sequel of the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise.

To make his day extra special, the proud parents wished the birthday boy by posting heartwarming notes on their Instagram handles. The write-ups were accompanied by special glimpses of Riaan playing football. Yes, the little kid is a passionate athlete. Riteish's birthday wish came with an “honest and open” letter which read, “My Dearest Riaan, I want to share a secret with you, I want to be honest and open with you. I'm so flawed, I'm not a perfect dad and every day I feel I want to do more for you but when I look at how you look at me, I see myself as a perfect dad, one that is loved by a beautiful boy and adored by his son and then I realise it's not me - it's you my pillu - you make me feel like I'm the best Dad in this world because you believe in me, you are strong and you make me feel that I'm doing something right.”

Riteish Deshmukh signed off his note with the words, “To all the adventurers, laughs and 1000 + 1 football games - you have me as your buddy, as your friend and your partner for life. I promise to climb the highest mountain for you, my baby boy because you make this life so beautiful. Happy Birthday Son. Thank you for choosing me as your Baba.”

For Genelia D'Souza, Riaan is the “boy with the kindest heart and the willpower to do better every day.” She wrote, “Yesterday on the eve of your birthday, we celebrated the last of your single digits my baby boy and just like that you are 10 today - a boy with the kindest heart and the willpower to do better every day.”

Calling herself Riaan's “loudest cheerleader”, Genelia wrote, “The beauty of the last decade is that I also completed 10 years of being a mum and every day you teach me to be the best version of myself. I always knew the saying “life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass but rather learning to dance in the rain”. In your 10 years, you have lived this and taught me to live it too. I Love You Riaan - Happy Birthday Baby Boy.”

Genelia wrapped up her emotional letter with a sweet declaration saying, “Always going to be… the one who feels (like) robbing a kiss from you at every opportunity I get.” 

Genelia's industry contemporaries also wished Riaan on his birthday. Actress Jiya Shankar wrote, “Awww happy birthday Riaan! Sending all my love to y'all.” Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan went all red hearts in the comments section. Dia Mirza echoed an almost similar sentiment but added a tiger emoji, presumably lauding Riaan's strength.

The couple, who went public with their relationship in 2016, supported each other throughout their careers. Jung Ho Yeon rose to global fame with Squid Game, while Lee Dong Hwi appeared in movies such as Cold Eyes, Tazza: The Hidden Card, Confidential Assignment and New Year Blues. Lee Dong Hwi had been open about their relationship in several web variety shows, often discussing it candidly.

Dey hit the headlines last week after she announced her split with Hartsuch, also a musician, hours after Rahman shared a statement about parting ways with Saira Banu, his wife of 29 years.

Following the simultaneous announcements, many social media users went on to link up Dey, 28, and Rahman, 57, together, a claim she denied on Monday in an Instagram post.

"It is utterly unbelievable to see the amount of misinformation and baseless assumptions/claims against me & @arrahman.

"I honour my times as a kid working with @arrahman throughout my 8.5 years of working with him for his movies, tours, etc... Kindly stop with the false claims and respect our privacy," the bassist wrote in the caption of the video.

Dey's post comes days after Rahman issued a warning to individuals speculating about his separation from Banu.

In the clip shared on Instagram, Dey said she respects Rahman as a father figure.

"I have a lot of father figures, role models in my life, and I've been really fortunate and grateful to have had them play vital roles in my upbringing. AR happens to be one of them. By AR, I mean AR Rahman. I respect him a lot. He is just like my father.

"He is a little bit younger than my dad. His daughter is exactly my age, I think. We have a lot of respect and love for each other. Anyway, long story short. Please be kind and respect our privacy. It's a personal matter, and it's painful. It's a painful process. So please be kind," she said in the video.

Dey, a musical prodigy who began her professional career when was just 11, has collaborated extensively with Rahman and performed with him in over 40 shows worldwide. She has also performed alongside music icons like Zakir Hussain, Sivamani, Steve Vai, Marco Minnemann, and many others.

Rahman and Banu, who got married in 1995, broke the news of their separation on November 19 in a joint statement.

The former couple said they took the decision to separate after "significant emotional strain in their relationship".

On Saturday, Rahman shared a three-page legal notice addressing those spreading defamatory and "objectionable" content targeting him and his family.

It was nominated under the Best Drama Series and fans were anticipating a win for the show. But The Night Manager lost the award to Les Gouttes de Dieu. The French-American-Japanese television series, which translates to Drops of God, has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and can be streamed on Apple TV+.

Based on the manga of the same name, the series features Fleur Geffrier and Tomohisa Yamashita in the leading roles.

The Night Manager too is a remake of the superhit Hollywood show of the same name, which featured Tom Hiddleston in the lead. The Hindi version, which released in two parts, stars Anil Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aditya Roy Kapur, Saswata Chatterjee, and Prashant Narayanan, among others. 

The cast and crew of The Night Manager flew down to New York to attend the awards show, and Aditya walked the red carpet along with the director Sandeep Modi, who was carrying the Indian flag.

Earlier during an interview, Aditya said, "The whole crew flew down. I had some time off from shoot too, so I felt it'd be a nice way to cap off the whole experience. It was a close-knit team that worked on the show, and everyone made time for this (to attend the Emmys)."

When asked about the show's nomination, Aditya said, "I am not thinking about all that. Maybe Sandeep (Modi, director) and everyone is, but I feel it's great that we were nominated. If we win, it would be like cherry on top."

While Vir is hosting the International Emmy Awards for the first time, Aditya's series The Night Manager was the only Indian show to bag Emmy nominations this year. They both looked dapper on the red carpet as they posed for the cameras and interacted with the press. Vir Das, the first ever Indian to host the awards, revealed that he was nervous, but also "definitely in the zone."

"I am nervous but good," he said, adding, "If you don't want to throw up a little before the show, then it's not going to be a good show so I'm definitely in the zone, feeling things."

On being asked what his strategies were to make the hosting a smooth walk, Vir said, "We can focus on what we have in common. We are all underdogs, we tell original stories and come from kind of the same circumstances. So try to focus on what we have in common, make fun of America, a little bit, I think that should be the trick I hope."

The crew of the Hotstar show The Night Manager was also present along with Aditya. Also present at the awards was the show's creator Sandeep Modi, who walked the red carpet with the Indian flag in his hand. The rest of the crew gave a loud cheer for their show, and posed for the cameras.

At the event, Kriti talked about Bollywood's most favourite word nepotism. Kriti, who won a National Award last year for her performance in Mimi, said the audience is more interested in star kids than the industry. The industry big wigs want to make movies with star kids to cater to audience's choices, asserted Kriti at the press conference.

Talking about her own journey from being an outsider to a sough-after actor, Kriti said, "The industry has given me a very warm welcome since the time I have come. Of course, when you don't belong to a film background, it takes time for you to get there. It takes time for you to get those opportunities you crave for. It takes time for you to even get those magazine covers. So everything is a bit of a struggle. But after 2-3 films, if you keep working hard and if you are at it, nothing can stop you."

Reflecting upon the trinity comprising industry, star kids and the audience, Kriti opined, "I feel the industry is not so much responsible for nepotism. It's also the media and the audience. The audiences want to watch what the media is putting about certain star kids. Because the audience is interested in them, the industry feels that since the audience is interested let's make a movie with them. So I think it's a circle. But I feel if you are talented, you will get there. If you're not talented, and if the connect is not there with the audiences you will not get there."

Kriti Sanon made her debut opposite Tiger Shroff in Heropanti. The actor is known for films like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, Panipat, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Adipurush, Ganapath, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. She debuted as a producer with Do Patti featuring herself and Kajol in lead roles.

Earlier in a chat with Faye D'souza, Karan said that he has been in "one and a half relationships" in his entire life and while he was actively seeking companionship in his 40s, he stopped looking for it after turning 50. Karan said, "I am single and haven't been in a relationship for a very long time. In fact, I have been in one and a half relationships in my entire life. I can't tell you how much I enjoy my single status. I don't think I can change it now. Forget sharing a bathroom or bedroom or your space or schedule, I think the power of your day is with you. Your responsibility is to your children and your mom, that's about it."

He continued, "I did feel the vacuum when I turned 40, but when I turned 50, I felt like I didn't want it. I am not blocking it, but now I don't see it happening actively. I have gone through agencies, blind date situations, and met people in the country, and out of the country, now if I find it well and good, I don't feel the need for it at all."

Karan started his Bollywood career as an assistant director in Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). Karan made a comeback as a director with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023) last year. The film did moderate business at the box office.

The newly launched banner is run by producer Swati Shetty and veteran CAA agent Grant Kessman. The rights were secured from UK-based Celador, which produced the Oscar-winning hit in partnership with Film4. “Some stories stay with us long after the credits roll, and Slumdog Millionaire is undoubtedly one of them.  Its narrative is universal, cutting across cultural and geographical lines and it embodies the kind of stories we love — ones that bridge entertainment with profound human experiences,” Swati Shetty and Grant Kessman said in a statement, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

Released in 2008, Slumdog Millionaire has been directed by Danny Boyle. The gripping drama is loosely based on Vikas Swarup's 2005 novel Q & A. The film follows 18-year-old Jamal Malik (played by Dev Patel), a young man from the Juhu slums of Mumbai. As a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Jamal surprises everyone by correctly answering all the questions, winning ₹1 crore, and standing just one question away from the grand prize of ₹2 crore. Suspected of cheating, Jamal recounts his life story to the police, revealing how his experiences provided the answers to each question.

Slumdog Millionaire marked Dev Patel's acting debut. It also featured notable performances by Freida Pinto, Madhur Mittal, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan.

Slumdog Millionaire achieved remarkable success at major award ceremonies. It won eight Oscars at the 81st Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing. At the 62nd BAFTA Awards, the film took home seven trophies, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Music, Best Editing and Best Sound. The project also won four awards at the 66th Golden Globe Awards, including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score. Phew!

Before its theatrical release, Slumdog Millionaire had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival. It was also showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival and the London Film Festival.

Confirming her single status, Mallika said, "It's so difficult in this day and age to find a worthy man. Ye sach hai (It's true); I am single. Refusing to divulge the reason behind the spilt, Mallika added, "We broke up. I really don't want to talk about it." Asked if marriage is on the cards, she replied, "I'm not for it, but I'm not against it. I am indifferent to it. It depends on what two people want."

Earlier in an interview with IANS, Mallika had opened up about Cyrille and said, "I am proud of him and will soon get him to Mumbai. He has shown Paris to me and has romanced me the French style, now I will romance him the Indian style! I will take him to the Taj Mahal, and make him have street food.. You know the typical Indian flavour, that's what I want to do."

Mallika Sherawat is best known for her role in films like Murder, Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Double Dhamaal. She acted in Dirty Politics, which was released in 2015. She was also seen in 2016 Chinese film Time Raiders. Mallika became an overnight sensation, courtesy her bold scenes with Emraan Hashmi in Anurag Basu's directorial Murder. Recalling the backlash she received back then, Mallika said recently, "The culture wasn't ready for me back then, and it wasn't ready for Murder either. Only now has Bollywood caught up to where I was in 2004. At that time, actresses were expected to follow a certain code of conduct. They were shy, while I was unapologetic. With Murder, a femme fatale was introduced."

Cher's mother, Georgia Holt endured a long labour without pain relief when she gave birth a month early and was "exhausted" afterwards, reports femalefirst.co.uk. When Georgia was recovering, a nurse visited her room and asked the 19-year-old new mother what she planned to name her baby. Cher wrote: "My mother had no idea, but the woman insisted so she replied, 'Well, Lana Turner's my favorite actress and her little girl's called Cheryl. My mother's name is Lynda, so how about Cherilyn? '"

After seeing her birth certificate for the first time, the singer asked her mother: "Do you even know my real name, Mom?" She told how her mother, who passed away in December 2022 aged 96, took the document, looked at it and simply shrugged as she told her daughter: "I was only a teenager, and I was in a lot of pain. Give me a break."

The Strong Enough hitmaker previously praised her mother for doing such a "good job" with their Christmas celebrations. She told Britain's OK! magazine: “We were really poor. But my mom always managed to do a good job. She saved her money and mostly that went into Christmas time for my sister and myself. You don't have to have a lot of money to have a fun time at Christmas."

The film, which was reportedly made in 2003, could not make it to theatres after the Central Board of Film Certification raised objections. Now, Tutu Sharma, one of Paanch's producers, has confirmed that the movie will be released in cinema halls “within six months.” He also mentioned that the negatives have slightly deteriorated, but the team is already working on restoring them. “Paanch is definitely coming next year. I plan to release it in cinemas within six months. The film was banned and the negatives have slightly deteriorated. The process of restoring them has already started. As soon as it's ready, we'll release Paanch,” Tutu Sharma told Bollywood Hungama.

The producer added, “The issues (with the Central Board of Film Certification) were resolved. But then we faced some more challenges; hence, the film was lying on the cans. Also, the trend of re-runs is here now. So, one can imagine the potential of Paanch. That's a very encouraging sign. Also, the times are such that such films are being watched, and they have an audience."

Paanch has been headlined by Kay Kay Menon. The movie also features Aditya Srivastava, Vijay Maurya, Joy Fernandes, Tejaswini Kolhapure, Vijay Raaz and Abhinav Kashyap. 

During the same interaction, Tutu Sharma spoke about the performances of actors and director Anurag Kashyap. He said, “Not just Kay Kay Menon but even Tejaswini Kolhapure is brilliant in the film. According to me, it is Anurag Kashyap's best film to date. Many people believe that. You'll agree with me once you see it.”

Paanch is reportedly based on the 1976–77 Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders in Pune. After Paanch, Anurag Kashyap went on to direct several critically acclaimed films, such as Black Friday, Dev.D, the Gangs of Wasseypur series and Raman Raghav 2.0, among others. His most recent directorial venture is Kennedy, which features Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone.

Abhishek has seen his shares of failures and success in a career spanning over two decades. Recalling the time when his films flopped one after another at the box office, the Guru actor said, "In a weaker moment, which is embarrassing for me to think of now, I went to my dad and said, 'We need to talk. I think I made a big mistake." After experimenting with different genres and directors of calibre, Abhishek said nothing was working in favour of him. "Maybe it's time for me to be honest with myself and say, 'Hey, you're not cut out for this. You're not good enough. Find something else to do," Abhishek heaved a sigh.

Amitabh Bachchan didn't let the spark in Abhishek die and he boosted his morale like a true artist. "I'm saying this to you as your senior, not as your father. You're nowhere near the finished product. You have a lot of improving to do", Abhishek recalled Big B's gem of advice.

Amitabh Bachchan in his latest blog entry praised Abhishek's new film whole-heartedly. He wrote, "Some films invite you to be entertained .. some films invite you to BE the film. I WANT TO TALK .. just does that .. it invites you to BE the film ..! It picks you up gently from your seat in the Theatre and places you, equally gently, inside the screen it is being projected upon .. and you watch its life floating by ... No effort or chance of wanting to escape from it into ...ESCAPISM ..and ..Abhishek .. you are not Abhishek .. you are ARJUN SEN of the film."

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, I Want To Talk delves into a father-daughter relationship when Abhishek Bachchan (Arjun Sen) is on the verge of a life-altering surgery. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "I Want to Talk hinges on the tics that propel tales of the 'terminally' ill but it uses the conventions of the genre sparingly, sensitively and with quietly devastating effect."

Everything I know about films, everything I know about acting, it is something I learnt from him," Ranbir said at the film festival. 

Taking a trip down memory lane, Ranbir looked back on the journey he had and how his bond with Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not changed over the years. "He hasn't changed at all. He is extremely hard-working. All he thinks about is his movies. He just wants to speak about the character, he wants you to create, do something different," Ranbir remarked. 

In his earlier interviews over the years, Ranbir spoke about the challenges of being an actor on a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film set. On numerous occasions, the Animal actor also revealed that he was yelled at by the director, post which they never worked together again. However, Ranbir has always appreciated the director's vision and dedication to his craft. 

Love And War also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in leading roles. It is a story of love and patriotism where Alia plays a cabaret dancer and Ranbir and Vicky portray officers of the Indian Armed Forces. The shoot for the film has begun and Ranbir and Vicky are filming in Bikaner's Air Base Force.

At the festival, he revealed that the first song he played for his daughter Raha Kapoor was his grandfather's timeless classic, Kisi Ki Muskurahaton Pe. The song that speaks of selfless service as a goal of life is from the 1959 film Anari. During a conversation with director Rahul Rawail, Ranbir shared that it is the simplicity of the song that makes it so iconic. 

"If you hear the lyrics of the song, it is so simple, and it's definitely a great philosophy to live your life by," he said, revealing why it was a great song to play for Raha.  

He further talked about how it is his responsibility as a father and as an actor to ensure that his daughter grows up watching good movies and listening to good songs. He said, "I am a father, and I have to think of my child and what the world will be like for her after so many years. As people from cinema and as artistes, it is our moral responsibility to make films that entertain but also educate people but also...I think knowledge is such a large thing that we need to put out there."

On the topic of his grandfather, Ranbir was asked if he would have liked him to direct any film of his, to which the Animal actor replied, "Because he made Bobby and was always amazing with love stories, I would really like to see him direct Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and celebrate the music and the characters."

On the work front, Ranbir's current lineup of films includes Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana alongside Sai Pallavi and Yash, which releases on Diwali 2026 and the second part on Diwali 2027.

His latest feat, hosting the 52nd edition of the International Emmy Awards, has put him on the charts as a creator of history as the first ever Indian to do so. The actor-comedian had announced the news on Instagram back in September, with the caption, "Thanks to your support, an Indian Emmy Host. I can't wait to host the @iemmys this year! Crazy. Thank you for having me. Tremendously honoured and excited!" 

After a lot of awards, winning speeches and some jokes, host Vir Das summed up the evening with a post on his Insta stories. "It went well," the note read, followed by a smiling emoji. If his wit and comic timing are anything to go by, we believe this statement.

"All the major platforms are here tonight, and I humbly, next year one of you should really broadcast this show.

"Who does Will Smith have to slap tonight for us to get some eyeballs guys?" he asked on a fun note, making everyone chuckle. He continued, "I am kidding foreigners, you can't slap foreigners with anything other than sanctions. Sorry, tariffs," and the laughs did not stop.

Amid this, the actor recently praised Aishwarya for looking after their daughter Aaradhya. In a recent interview with The Hindu, Abhishek recalled how she chose to step away from her acting career when he was born to dedicate herself to raising her children. "My mother stopped acting when I was born because she wanted to spend time with the children. We never felt the void of Dad not being around. I think at the end of the day after work, you come home at night," he said.

When director Shoojit Sircar highlighted the sacrifices Jaya made for her children, Abhishek drew a parallel to his own life, particularly about his actor-wife Aishwarya. He said, "In my household, I'm lucky I get to go out and make movies but I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya and I thank her immensely for that but I don't think the kids look at it that way. They don't look at you as a third person, they look at you as the first person," he said."

Last week, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared a series of pictures on Instagram featuring two special moments of her life - daughter Aaradhya's birthday celebration and her father Krishnaraj Rai's birth anniversary. One of the snapshots shows Aaradhya respectfully bowing in front of a portrait of her late grandfather. Another features Aishwarya and Aaradhya posing alongside Aishwarya's mother, Brindya Rai. A throwback picture of Aishwarya cradling a newborn Aaradhya tugged at fans' hearts, while the last picture showed Aaradhya's birthday celebration in Mumbai. The caption read, "Happy birthday to the eternal love of my life dearest daddy-ajjaa and my darling Aaradhya. My heart, my soul...forever and beyond. However, the absence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's husband, Abhishek Bachchan, in both posts didn't go unnoticed. The actor's absence fuelled the rumours surrounding their separation.

Rumours about Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's divorce have been circulating on social media for quite some time now. These rumours gained traction when the couple arrived separately at a high-profile wedding In July. The speculation intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the increase in "grey divorces," which further fuelled the divorce rumours.

The post, which Abhishek Bachchan liked, revolves around the idea of "Why love stops being easy." It also states, "Couples who have been married for long are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?"

The caption read, "Divorce is never easy for anyone. Who doesn't dream of a happily ever after or envision recreating those heartwarming videos of elderly couples holding hands as they cross the street? Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'-terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50-are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising."

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan married in April 2007. The two welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in November 2011. So far, the couple have not confirmed nor denied the divorce rumours.

On the professional front, they worked together in several films such as Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000), Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Dhoom 2 (2006), Umrao Jaan (2006), Guru (2007), Sarkar Raj (2008), and Raavan (2010)."

Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, the film features Vijay Sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas and Natty Natraj. It hit the Indian screens on June 14 and was a huge hit. Maharaja will be first Indian film to be screened in China after both the countries firmed up an agreement on patrolling and disengagement of troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, in a major breakthrough to end the over four-year border standoff.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping at their meeting in Kazan in Russia on the sidelines of the BRICS summit on October 23 endorsed the agreement and issued directions to revive various bilateral dialogue mechanisms and normalise ties that were hit by a deadly military clash in 2020 at Galwan Valley.

Indian films specially Aamir Khan's Three Idiots, Dangal and Secret Superstar have become a major success in China in recent years as the themes largely resonated with the Chinese audiences and earned a significant amount of revenue. Aamir has become a household name in China.

China has about 86,000 theatres all over the country, the highest in the world. Chinese film critics say Maharaja too is expected to do very well.

“The strength of Maharaja lies in its distinctive cultural expression and unique narrative techniques,” Wang Peiyu, a Douban film critic, told the Global Times.

“As a suspense film, it uses editing techniques to cleverly conceal the key actions of the protagonist, interspersing numerous subplots to confuse the audience. Through cross-cutting, it creates a feeling of simultaneity and carefully constructs a labyrinthine narrative,” he noted.

The film's release in China coincides with two major competitors - the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator II and local film Her Story.

Wang said many Chinese moviegoers have expressed that the theme of Maharaja, which deliberately misguides the audience and revealing the truth suddenly near the end, leaving watchers stunned, can break through language and cultural barriers to resonate with Chinese audiences.

He pointed out that this subversive narrative approach not only gives the film a strong sense of sophistication but also makes it a stand out in its genre, positioning it as a true blockbuster.

A viewer surnamed Li, who has watched the pre-screening, said that the film continues the tradition of recent Indian cinema, which focuses on social issues, while also incorporating religious beliefs and moral concepts from Indian culture.

“For Chinese audiences, such films not only provide intellectual stimulation but also offer a chance to understand Indian culture from a different perspective,” Li told the daily.

“In recent years, Indian films have established a strong presence in the Chinese market. From Dangal to Secret Superstar, these films have sparked discussions among audiences with their sincere emotions and social issues,” she added.

Wang said Indian films have not only performed well at the box office but have also consistently won over Chinese audiences with their distinct themes and profound social issues.

“Films like Maharaja often have a strong moral core, which is closely related to traditional Indian values. This is one of the key differences when compared to the more secular or individualistic narrative styles found in many Western films,” Wang said.

He pointed out that in contrast, many Western suspense films focus more on psychological elements, dealing with themes of betrayal and justice, and rarely delve into cultural backgrounds.

Compared to Hollywood blockbusters like Gladiator II, which attract attention with their global influence and epic production, films like Maharaja offer a different kind of appeal in the global market through their unique regional and philosophical elements, making them especially appealing to audiences seeking diverse cultures and profound themes, he said.

During the promotions of the show, Samantha shared she "begged" the director duo Raj-DK to replace her as she was struggling with her health condition. Taking a step further, she revealed the names of the actresses she sent as her substitutes. "I actually sent them Kiara's pictures and Kriti's pictures. I remember sending four to them, saying, 'Oh my God, she is so hot. Just look at her. She will be amazing doing action. Please, I can't do it. They said, 'We know them. You don't have to introduce us to them. We know who they are'," recalled Samantha.

Earlier, Samantha said she is glad as she finally managed to do the series and was not replaced. "Now, watching this show, I am so thankful that they didn't make it without me and that I found the strength to do it. Even before the verdict is out for this show, I am going to give it to myself for pulling through," she said.

At the teaser launch event, Varun Dhawan talked about Samantha's determination and grit as she had to undergo tough times with her health during the shoot. "Honestly, my preparation was very easy compared to Samantha's. It's public knowledge what she was battling when she joined the show. I thought my rehearsals were tough, but then I saw her incredible work ethic despite her struggles, and it truly inspired me. We became partners in making things happen," the actor said.

Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian version of the franchise, opened to average reviews. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "Citadel: Honey Bunny has two facets to it. One centres on the conventions of the spy thriller, which Raj & DK so skillfully turned on their head in The Family Man. The other exudes the sort of retro Bollywood potboiler spirit that the duo at once celebrated and lampooned in Guns & Gulaabs. On the former count, they take no risks. On the latter too, they hold back. Aiming at a moving target is never a good idea. It is hardly surprising that Citadel: Honey Bunny is a misfire. It misses the bull's eye by miles."

Social media users have found the categorisation unsuitable because of its theme and plot. Many have shared their disapproval on the matter and slammed the organisers of the award ceremony by sharing notes on X (formerly Twitter).

On Sunday (November 24), Netflix shared the announcement that Daily Dose Of Sunshine “has been nominated for Best Comedy Series in the 52nd International Emmy Awards”. People were quick to react to the post. 

“Weird it has been nominated for best comedy cause I was crying my eyes out every episode,” wrote a user. 

“Comedy !!! That's not the category I would put that drama in,” said another. 

Someone commented, “Comedy? I mean it is so amazing but as far from comedy as I can imagine. Very serious series and subjects.”

“Comedy? I must have missed the humour behind the tears,” read a sarcastic remark.

“I can't believe the Emmys would a melodrama about mental health in a comedy category. What???? This is ridiculous. It deserves to be nominated but it definitely was no laughing matter,” criticised an individual. 

A K-drama fan found it “tragic” that a movie talking “about mental health” was put in the comedy category. 

Coming back to Daily Dose Of Sunshine, the 2023 show is directed by Kim Nam-su and Lee Jae-kyoo. It is based on the popular webtoon Morning Is Coming to the Psychiatric Ward by Lee Ra-ha. The series revolves around a kind-hearted nurse working in psychiatry who comes as a ray of light to those under her wing. Despite challenges coming her way, she does not forget to spread smiles and stay positive. 

Meanwhile, the International Emmy Awards was held in New York City on November 25. Hosted by actor-comedian Vir Das, it was a glittery night of wins and applauses.

Meet The Comic Strip Icon Presenting The International Emmy Award 2024 https://noidamirror.com/who-is-mafalda-meet-the-comic-strip-icon-presenting-the-international-emmy-award-2024 https://noidamirror.com/who-is-mafalda-meet-the-comic-strip-icon-presenting-the-international-emmy-award-2024 Mafalda, the iconic Argentine comic strip character, has been invited to serve as a presenter at the 52nd International Emmy Awards Gala. The official Instagram page of the prestigious awards announced the exciting news with a post featuring Mafalda. The post included an image of the beloved character dressed in a red outfit, her hair styled loosely and a bright smile on her face. The text overlay on the poster read, “Mafalda Presenter.” The side note read, “Mafalda will present at the 52nd International Emmy Awards Gala tonight in NYC!” Take a look: 

Here is all you need to know about Mafalda:

1. Mafalda is an Argentine comic strip created in 1963 by cartoonist Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, known by his pen name Quino.

2. The story revolves around Mafalda, a six-year-old girl who represents Argentina's middle-class and progressive youth. She cares deeply about humanity and world peace and often addresses serious issues with innocence and curiosity.

3. The comic strip ran from 1964 to 1973, first appearing in the magazine Primera Plana (1964-1965) and then in the newspaper El Mundo (1965-1967). When El Mundo shut down in 1967, the strip was temporarily paused but resumed in Siete Días Ilustrados in 1968. Its final publication was in 1973. It became widely popular in Latin America, Europe, Quebec and Asia.

4. After 1973, Quino occasionally brought Mafalda back, mainly to support causes like human rights.

5. In 1976, Quino recreated Mafalda for UNICEF to help illustrate the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Pablo Irrgang, a Mafalda sculptor, described the character as a “protesting girl.” Speaking to the United Nations, he said, “Mafalda is that rebellious, questioning, protesting girl, who educated my generation to a great extent and continues to do so today with children - and is doing it with my children - and embodies a lot of values that right now, in this world, are super necessary.”

The reddit thread shared an old interview clip of Hrithik Roshan where he was asked to comment on the controversy around the kiss. Back in the day, reports claimed the Bachchans were not happy with Aishwarya's kissing scene in the film. Hrithik replied, "My wife had laid down only one condition - 'If you're going to kiss on screen, this better be the best bloody kiss in the entire world!' That was her only pre-condition. And it was a challenge I had to live up to!"

However, Aishwarya Rai revealed how the kissing scene put her into troubles during an interview with the Daily Mail back in 2012. The actress said, "I did it once prominently in the movie Dhoom and it was so topical, and you'll be surprised, I mean I actually got a couple of notices, legal notices, from some people in the country turning around and saying "You are iconic, you're an example to our girls you have led your life in such an exemplary manner, they're not comfortable with you doing this on screen so why did you?"

Dhoom 2 was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film had a stellar cast including Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Uday Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu. The film grossed over ₹1.514 billion and became the highest grossing Hindi film of 2006.

The rumoured couple love to play with questions around their relationship. Rashmika Mandanna, who was present at a pre-release event of her upcoming film Pushpa 2, was asked by the host if she wants to marry someone from the industry or outside. "Would you marry someone from the film industry or should your husband be someone from outside the industry? If you give us some clarity, we'll find out you the boy," the host said. Rashmika's reply was short and sweet, "Everyone knows about it." The audience gave a roaring shout out to her response.

When the host teased her to reveal more, Rashmika replied, "I know what answer you want, I know it well." She diverted the conversation with these words, "Let's not delve into that right now, I'll tell you later, personally."

Rashmika's response stirred a conversation as Vijay Deverakonda confirmed being in a relationship just a few days ago. Speaking to Curly Tales, Vijay Deverakonda said,  "I know what it feels like to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don't know unconditional love because my love comes with expectations, so clearly my love isn't unconditional. I feel everything is over-romanticised. I don't even know if it's okay to expect unconditional love." The actor added, "I have dated my co-star."

Rumours of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's dating began in January 2023, following their rumoured vacation in the Maldives. A few days ago, pictures of the two on a lunch date went viral in no time.

Earlier, Rashmika Mandanna talked about her equation with Vijay Deverakonda in an interview with We Are Yuvaa.  She said, "Viju and I sort of grew up together. So anything I do in my life right now, he has a contribution to it. I take his advice in anything I do, I need his opinion. He's not a yes person. He's on point. This is good...this is not good...this is what I think...this is what I don't think. He has supported me personally more than anyone else in my entire life. So, I feel he's someone I really, really respect."

Former Team India coach and current commentator Ravi Shastri reminisced about Virat Anushka's dating days when Virat asked him for permission to bring his then-girlfriend. Back then, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) allowed only spouses of players to accompany them for overseas tours.

In the viral video, Ravi Shastri is sharing a panel with former Australian cricketer Brett Lee, while he narrates the incident. Taking a walk down memory lane, the former coach said, "You know when I was the coach in 2015, Virat was not married then, he was dating Anushka. He came and he said, 'You know, only wives are allowed, can I get my girlfriend in?' I told him yeah sure but then Virat said that the Board is not allowing it, then I made the call and she came up and joined in. In the very first game, he got a 160 and in the same scenes, the flying kiss went up, just like yesterday. So yeah, she has been a big support for Virat."

Watch the video here:

On Sunday, right after Virat's century, India declared with a scorecard of 487/6, with a lead of 534 runs. Virat then spoke to former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist about Anushka's influence in his life. Crediting her for being by his side through everything, Virat said, 'Anushka has been right by my side through thick and thin. So she knows everything that goes on behind the scenes, when I am in the room, what goes on in the head, when you don't play well, you make a few mistakes, when you are getting yourself in."

Speaking about performing for his team and country, Virat also mentioned that Anushka's presence makes a good match even more special. "I just wanted to contribute to the team's cause, you know I am not a guy who wants to hang around just for a sake of it. I take pride in performing for my country and just feels amazing, the fact that she is here makes it even more special," he concluded.

He mentioned that he saw Poonam Sinha on a train and she was crying at that time. It all began when the host, Kapil Sharma, tested the veteran actor's memory and asked where he first saw Poonam Sinha.

To this, Shatrughan Sinha answered, “Train me. Mai Patna se FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) ke liye jaa raha tha. Yeh (Poonam Sinha) Patna koi shaadi attend karne aayi thi, school me thi. Cradle-snatcher bolte the inke gharwale mujhe. Yeh jaa rahi thi usi train me. Aur usi train me main baitha hua tha. Mere dost log mujhe chodne aaye huye they, inko chedna chah rahe they. Maine kaha, ‘Mat karna. Mai akele jaunga. Raaste me badi pitai hogi. [In the train, I was on my way from Patna to FTII. She had come to Patna to attend a wedding and was in school at that time. Her family used to call me a cradle-snatcher. She was on the same train, and I was sitting there. My friends had come to see me off, and they were teasing her. I told them, 'Don't do it. I will go alone. There will be a lot of trouble on the way.'”

The actor continued, “Train me main ro raha tha isliye ki pehli baar ghar ka sabse chutka bahua maa-baap ko chodke ja raha tha Patna se Mumbai. Kabhi zindagi me hostel me nahi raha. Main ro raha tha. Yeh (Poonam Sinha) saamne wali berth pe baithi hui thi jo filmo me kahani hoti hai. Aur yeh ro rahi thi kyuki inko daant padi thi. Saasu maa ne kuch bola hoga. To yeh ro rahi thi, mai ro raha tha. Dono ki rote-rote mulakat hui. [I was crying in the train because it was the first time I was leaving my parents and going from Patna to Mumbai. I had never stayed in a hostel before. I was crying. She was sitting on the opposite berth, just like in the films. She was crying too because she must have been scolded by her mother. So, she was crying, and I was crying. We both met while crying.]

Shatrughan Sinha playfully concluded, “Aaj teen bachey ho chuke hai – Luv, Kush aur Sonakshi, lekin character barkraar hai. Yeh ro rahi hai aur mai ro raha hu. [Today, we have three children – Luv, Kush and Sonakshi – but the character remains the same. She is crying, and I am crying.]”

The south star slapped Nayanthara with Rs 10 crore lawsuit for using a 3-second clip from Dhanush's production Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the Netflix docuseries trailer. The legal battle intensified when Nayanthara slammed Dhanush in an open letter, shared on Instagram. Parvathy told Manorama News that actress like Nayanthara wouldn't write anything on social media without a solid ground. Citing her own reason to support her, Parvathy said, "Nayanthara, a self-made woman, a Lady Superstar, someone who built her career on her own, had to write such an open letter. She's not someone who speaks without purpose; we all know her. She wrote about her experiences in three pages, and that's why it's called an open letter. That's when I felt the need to support her. This is a real issue. All those supporting Nayanthara believe the truth in her letter."

"I understand what it is like to be unsupported. I've gone through it. I also understand how much help can influence a person. Thinking in that way, I will always support those individuals," Parvathy concluded.

Apart from Parvathy, other South stars like Shruti Haasan, Aishwarya Rajesh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nazriya Fahadh and Anupama Prmeswaran also showed support for Nayanthara by liking her post on Instagram.

An excerpt from Nayanthara's letter read, "After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version since you declined to permit the usage of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or visual cuts, even the photographs to say the least despite multiple requests."

Following Nayanthara's letter, Dhanush's lawyer issued a statement threatening legal action if the content wasn't taken down within 24 hours. The statement from Dhanush's legal representative asserted, "Advice your client to take down the content infringing my client's copyright over the film NAANUM ROWDY DHAAN by using the same in your client's documentary named NAYANTHARA BEYOND THE FAIRYTALE within 24 hours, failing which my client will be forced to initiate appropriate legal action, including but not limited to seeking damages to a sum of Rs. 10 crores against your client and Netflix India."

Nayanthara also shared a post thanking Shah Rukh Khan, Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and other producers who allowed her to use footage from their films for her documentary and granted her No Objection Certificates (NOCs) without any "hesitation and delay."

Amitabh Bachchan wrote a detailed appreciation post about Abhishek's I Want To Talk in his latest blog entry. Praising the spirit of the film, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "some films invite you to be entertained .. some films invite you to BE the film. I WANT TO TALK .. just does that .. it invites you to BE the film ..! It picks you up gently from your seat in the Theatre and places you, equally gently, inside the screen it is being projected upon .. and you watch its life floating by ... No effort or chance of wanting to escape from it into ...ESCAPISM ..and ..Abhishek .. you are not Abhishek .. you are ARJUN SEN of the film."

Apart from Abhishek's performance, his personal life has become a talking point. Taking an indirect reference to that, Mr Bachchan wrote, "Let them say what they say .. but this is what I say .. the say for the film .. And I am in remembrance of my poojya Babuji's words: the good did think of me to be good; the bad did think of me as bad .. the need for whichever, was the need for them, did they recognise me with that. It was their 'need' to to think of me as good or bad .. whatever was their 'need', that was how much they did recognise me."

Mr Bachchan continued his philosophical musings and wrote, "Your greed for the good in me can be good .. your greed to express the bad in me can be bad ..but it was YOUR 'need' to think good or think bad .. and that was my recognition .. it was not what I was .. IT WAS YOUR NEED TO THINK OF ME AS BAD .. OR THINK OR ME AS GOOD .. THAT WAS how much you could understand me ..one 'needed' to think him to be good .. one 'needed' to think of him as bad .. and whichever 'need' was the one that you desired is what how much you did recognise me."

"THE ULTIMATE WHIP OF SARCASM !!!! and reality ..you think of someone as good, because your need is for you to think so ... you think of someone as bad because your need for you is to think so ..your need for the good and the bad was a calculated one, FOR that is how you much you gave value to my recognition !!! the eternal truth of life," he concluded his note with these words.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, I Want To Talk delves into a father-daughter relationship when Abhishek Bachchan (Arjun Sen) is on the verge of a life-altering surgery. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "I Want to Talk hinges on the tics that propel tales of the 'terminally' ill but it uses the conventions of the genre sparingly, sensitively and with quietly devastating effect."

The tour has already made waves, with tickets selling out in minutes. In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Hardika Gupta, the singer shared his excitement about the upcoming shows. "Returning to India feels like returning home. Honestly, when they told me the shows were selling out in minutes, I got goosebumps. But this isn't just my success - it belongs to my fans, my management team, my promoters and every person who believed in me from day one. The tour is going to be something special because we're not just doing shows, we're creating memories. You'll see production levels that India hasn't seen before and I've got some surprises planned for on-stage syncs that will make some noise. Fans can expect all their favourites with some new tracks as well. This tour is not just a show, it's a celebration of our journey together and I want to give my people an experience they've never had before."

Karan Aujla reflected on how far he has come in his career. "It Was All A Dream is exactly what the name suggests - a dream coming true. When I wrote my first song in Ghurala, I never imagined I'd be doing shows at this scale. This tour isn't just a concert; it's a statement that a Punjabi mundaa can dream big and make it happen. The biggest difference though? It's the responsibility."

The tour also marks a new chapter for Aujla, who now feels a deeper sense of duty towards his fans. "Earlier, I could just go on stage and perform. Now, when I see tickets worth 15 lakh selling out in minutes, I know I have to deliver something extraordinary. It keeps me up at night, planning every detail, making sure each fan gets their money's worth. And you know what makes this tour special? It's proof that hard work and staying real always pays off. From performing at small gatherings to now having fans fly in from different countries just to attend our shows - it's humbling, and it pushes me to work even harder."

Karan Aujla expressed that his success is not solely his own but belongs to everyone who has supported him from the beginning and said, "My success is not my own. It belongs to every person who's supported me from day one, who's defended me when people doubted me, who's stood by me through thick and thin. When these tickets sell out, it's not just about Karan Aujla - it's a victory for everyone who believes in the dream. And trust me, when these fans come to the show, they'll understand why it was worth every rupee. Because when someone shows this much faith in you, you have to give them something unforgettable in return. When they first told me about all categories of tickets selling out real quick, I actually got emotional. It's not just about the money - it's about the trust. These aren't just fans anymore; they're family who believe in what we're creating. It's a responsibility that keeps me up at night."

The India leg of The It Was All A Dream tour will cover multiple cities, starting with Chandigarh on December 7, followed by Bengaluru on December 13. Karan Aujla will then perform in New Delhi on December 15, 18, and 19, before heading to Mumbai on December 21. The tour will continue with a stop in Kolkata on December 24 and will be wrapping up in Jaipur on December 29.

The post featured a cat illustration with the Korean message, which roughly translates to, "You're overthinking it again. Things will be fine." Adding the caption, V wrote, “I got it, Teacher Cat. I won't break down.” The timing of this post has drawn attention as it coincides with an ongoing controversy involving BTS' label HYBE and Min Hee Jin, the former CEO of ADOR, a HYBE subsidiary. While V did not directly reference the issue, fans speculate that his message might subtly reflect the recent events.

See the post here:

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

V found himself drawn into the ongoing HYBE vs Min Hee Jin controversy after the former ADOR CEO made comments about him during a live broadcast. Min Hee Jin mentioned that V had contacted her via calls and texts during his military service and even wished her a happy birthday early in the morning. Since military trainees in South Korea typically have limited access to their phones, her remarks sparked speculation about whether V might have violated military regulations. 

People accused V of receiving preferential treatment in the military, and a legal complaint was even lodged against the BTS member. 

As per an English Jagran report, V was cleared of the accusations following an investigation by the South Korean military. The military clarified that trainees can use their phones for up to an hour each day during designated rest periods, such as weekends and public holidays. They confirmed that V adhered to these guidelines and only used his phone during the designated afternoon hours, not in the morning as claimed by Min Hee Jin. There was no evidence that V had violated any rules or received preferential treatment during his time in the military. As per South Korea's data protection regulations, V's personal information was kept private, and the specifics of his calls and communications were not disclosed.

Despite this clarification, the matter has garnered a lot of attention from fans, with some even questioning the accuracy of Min Hee Jin's claims. A prominent personality in the K-pop scene, Min Hee Jin is directly linked to the success of the up-and-coming group NewJeans. She served as CEO of ADOR, a HYBE subsidiary that oversees the group. Amid the power struggle in the company, HYBE has accused Min Hee Jin of trying to distance ADOR from its parent label. At the same time, Min Hee Jin has levelled plagiarism accusations against HYBE's other subsidiary company, Belift Lab.  

Meanwhile, BTS' V will be discharged from the military on June 10, 2025. The septet is expected to make a group comeback in the same year.

In one click, Sonakshi can be seen kissing Zaheer on his cheek. They can be seen sharing loved-up moments on the streets. The newlyweds were joined by a couple of friends on the trip. Sharing the pictures, the couple wrote in the caption, "Milano, Nov, 2024." Take a look:

Earlier, the couple shared a goofy video from their vacation. The couple shared a joint post in which the Dabangg actress can be seen dressed in her winter best. Sonakshi's winter-fied dressing tickles Zaheer's funny bones and they can be seen engaging in a fun banter. Sharing the video, Sonakshi wrote, "Ek toh thandi... aur phir yeh aadmi. Silly postcard from Florence... enjoy!" Take a look:

Sonakshi and Zaheer appeared on the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. Sonakshi introduced Zaheer to Kapil Sharma in a hilarious way. In the trailer, Sonakshi can be heard saying, "Bhaiya, meet my saiyyan (husband)." Sonakshi also quips, "If anyone want to get married, please start calling Kapil bhaiya."

On Thursday, Shrima Rai shared a post clarifying "fact"(her word) after the Internet trolled her for sharing pictures of flowers sent by Shweta Bachchan. In her new post, Shrima also addressed the issue of using "famous" connections to  flourish in her career. The blogger-content creator wrote,  "Facts. My birthday was November 21 and as usual flowers were sent. I thanked everyone with a shout out. Before I became a blogger/ content creator I was a banker in Wealth Management for several years. I have also been a Gladrags Mrs. India Globe 2009. Post 2017, I transitioned into blogging. I have NEVER tried to open any business with anyone's name."

She continued, "I am clarifying things because these are facts. I have built an independent career as a content creator for years on my own and as a woman I find it in poor taste of anyone to try to tear that fact down. For this my husband, mother in law and parents can vouch for that. As a mother it is extremely important to me that facts are clear when my name is involved."

For context, Shrima shared a picture of a bouquet on her Instagram stories thanking Shweta Bachchan and her husband Nikhil Nanda. The Internet was not impressed with the post and she was targeted widely for sharing such posts amid Abhishek-Aishwarya's separation rumours. Shrima's "thanked everyone with a shout out" seemingly refers to the flowers sent by Shweta Bachchan. Take a look at the new post:

Recently, the Internet dug out an old post of Shrima Rai. The picture, shared on Instagram, features Shrima Rai, her husband Aditya Rai, their children and Aditya's mother Brinda Rai. Sharing a family nugget, Shrima mentioned in her post that her wedding anniversary and her mother-in-law's birthday fall on the same day. The caption read, "Did you know my mother in laws birthday and my anniversary are on the SAME day? They asked us if that was ok while choosing dates and in the spirit of celebrating family time I said yes. So we juggle the day between our Anniversary and her birthday ever since." The Internet swamped the comments section as why Shrima doesn't share any picture with Aaradhya and Aishwarya on her Instagram.

A user wrote, "Not even a single pic she shares of Aishwarya or Aaradhya." Shrima didn't let the comment go unnoticed and she wrote, "You can head over to her page to find all the images of her and there you will find solely shots of them and not a single one of us. That should satisfy you." Take a look:

Rumours of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's separation gained traction when Abhishek and Aishwarya made separate entries at a high-profile wedding in July. Later, Abhishek liked an Instagram post about rising grey divorces which added fuel to the rumours.

The court's verdict comes after both parties expressed their inability to continue living together. Dhanush and Aishwarya appeared before the family court in Chennai on November 21, where they expressed their desire to part ways. The judge overseeing the divorce case adjourned the hearing to November 27, when the final verdict was expected to be delivered.

The duo tied the knot in 2004 in a grand wedding in Chennai, and after 18 years of marriage, they released a joint statement revealing their decision to part ways.

The statement read, “18 years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well-wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting, and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate. Aishwaryaa/Dhanush and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this (sic).”

They continue to co-parent their sons, Yatra and Lingaa. The two announced their separation on social media in 2022 and later filed for divorce.

Meanwhile, Dhanush has recently filed a petition with the Madras High Court against actress Nayanthara and her husband-director Vignesh Shiva.

The case centers around allegations of copyright infringement involving visuals from the film “Naanum Rowdy Dhaan," produced by Wunderbar Movies, which were allegedly used in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale.

Dhanush had previously sought damages of Rs 10 crore after the trailer of the Netflix documentary featured three seconds of behind-the-scenes footage from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

Advocates Sathish Parasaran and R. Parthasarathy represented Nayanthara and Netflix, respectively. Justice Abdul Quddhose granted Wunderbar Movies' request to include Los Gatos in the case, noting that a significant portion of the dispute took place within the jurisdiction of the Madras High Court.

Ahead of the release of the film, Walt Disney Studios India shared a promotional video on its YouTube channel. The video begins with Shah Rukh saying, "Yeh kahaani hai ek aese raja ki jise virasat ki roshni nahi, tanhaiyo ki virasat mili (This story is about a king who has inherited loneliness instead of a grand legacy)."

Shah Rukh continues, "Lekin uski rago mein behta tha ek junoon. Aur usi junoon se usne zameen se uthkar aasmaaan ko chhua. Zameen par toh kayi badshah hukumat karte aaye hai par usne raaj kiya sabhi ke dilon par. Halath ki aandhiyon se utha, ek saccha raja. Kaafi milti julti hai na yeh kahani (smiles)? Par yeh kahani hai Mufasa ki (But he had passion. With that passion, he aspired to touch the sky. Many kings ruled the land, but he ruled the hearts of the people. He emerged as a true king overcoming predicaments. This story sounds similar, right? But it's a story about Mufasa)." The video also has snippets from the upcoming film.

Directed by Oscar-winner Barry Jenkins and written by Jeff Nathanson, Lin-Manuel Miranda composed the original score for the English version. Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr lend their voices to the younger incarnations of Mufasa and Scar respectively, with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa's voice. Jeremy Irons and Chiwetel Ejiofor previously voiced Scar in the 1994 original and 2019 remake.

Mufasa: The Lion King will be released on December 20 in cinemas. The movie will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, his son Aryan Khan voices Simba, and even the youngest, AbRam Khan, voices Mufasa as a cub.

Recently, the Internet dug out an old post of Aishwarya's sister-in-law Shrima Rai. The picture, shared on Instagram, features Shrima Rai, her husband Aditya Rai, their children and Aditya's mother Brinda Rai. Sharing a family nugget, Shrima mentioned in her post that her wedding anniversary and her mother-in-law's birthday fall on the same day. The caption read, "Did you know my mother in laws birthday and my anniversary are on the SAME day? They asked us if that was ok while choosing dates and in the spirit of celebrating family time I said yes. So we juggle the day between our Anniversary and her birthday ever since." The Internet swamped the comments section as why Shrima doesn't share any picture with Aaradhya and Aishwarya on her Instagram.

A user wrote, "Not even a single pic she shares of Aishwarya or Aaradhya." Shrima didn't let the comment go unnoticed and she wrote, "You can head over to her page to find all the images of her and there you will find solely shots of them and not a single one of us. That should satisfy you." Take a look:

Earlier this year, Shrima shared a picture from her wedding ceremony to wish husband Aditya happy wedding anniversary. It features a young Aishwarya Bachchan attending the ceremony. Shrima wrote, "Happy Anniversary @aditya_.rai 21 year old American Desi meets studious engineer Mumbaiker and the rest is history." Take a look:

Rumours of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's separation gained traction when Abhishek and Aishwarya made separate entries at a high-profile wedding in July. Later, Abhishek liked an Instagram post about rising grey divorces which added fuel to the rumours. The post, which Abhishek Bachchan liked, revolves around the idea of "Why love stops being easy." It also states, "Couples who have been married for long are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?"

The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Sayani Gupta, who recently opened up about her uncomfortable experiences on set while filming intimate scenes. She also emphasised on why it is important to have intimacy coordinators on sets. The Four More Shots Please! actress also shared a shocking incident where a co-actor's "indecent behaviour" left her miffed and uncomfortable. 

The actress recently came on a radio show, where she said, "I could write a book about intimacy, and I am grateful that this [intimacy coordinator] is now a profession in India. I had worked with one during Margarita with a Straw in 2013. Intimate scenes are the easiest to do because they are technical. But a lot of people also take advantage. I've been in situations where an actor lingered on a kiss after a cut, and you're left feeling uncomfortable. It may be subtle, but it's indecent behaviour."

Reminiscing another incident on sets during an outdoor shoot for Four More Shots Please! in Goa, the actress revealed, "I had to lie on the beach in a tiny dress. There were some 70 men standing in front of me, and there wasn't even one person on set to give me a shawl or be by my side. The lack of concern for an actor's safety, or anyone's safety, is concerning. Boundaries are often compromised, and this mindset needs to change."

However, on the other hand, she also lauded her co-actor Prateik Babbar who made her feel safe during the shooting of a nude scene in the show. "His eyes didn't shift for a second, he just kept looking into my eyes. My respect for him reached a new level," shared Sayani.

Sayani Gupta debuted in 2012 with Second Marriage Dot Com, after which she gained critical acclaim with films like Margarita With A Straw, Fan, and Article 15. She was last seen in Amazon Prime Video's Call Me Bae.


 

]]> Thu, 28 Nov 2024 15:09:09 +0530 Editor Family By Choice Review: A Beautifully Satisfying Yet Bittersweet K&Drama https://noidamirror.com/family-by-choice-review-a-beautifully-satisfying-yet-bittersweet-k-drama https://noidamirror.com/family-by-choice-review-a-beautifully-satisfying-yet-bittersweet-k-drama Family By Choice, the Korean adaptation of the hit Chinese drama Go Ahead, is a heartwarming exploration of love, family and the unspoken bonds that tie us together - whether by blood or by choice. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque coastal town, this drama delves into the lives of three young adults - Yoon Ju-won (Jung Chae-yeon), Kim San-ha (Hwang In-yeop) and Kang Hae-jun (Bae Hyun-sung) - who, though not related by birth, form an inseparable family unit. But while the young trio's emotional journeys are at the core of the story, it is the portrayal of the two father figures that truly elevates Family By Choice from a typical slice-of-life drama to something genuinely special.

The fathers in Family By Choice are more than just supporting characters; they are the emotional anchor of the entire narrative. Their understated yet profoundly touching presence forms the foundation upon which the entire story stands. The strength of the drama lies in how these two men -Yoon Jung-jae (Choi Won-young) and Kim Dae-wook (Choi Moo-sung)-take on the role of caregivers, guiding the children through their complex emotional landscapes. In many ways, Family By Choice is just as much about the fathers as it is about their children, as both are forced to confront their own personal regrets, unresolved traumas and their unshakeable love for the kids they choose to raise.

Yoon Jung-jae (played by Choi Won-young) is a character defined by his quiet strength and deep-seated sense of responsibility. A widower who has raised his daughter, Ju-won, alone for many years, Jung-Jae embodies the ideal of selfless fatherhood. He is a man who has faced personal tragedy and loss, and his relationship with his 'sons,' San-ha and Hae-jun, becomes a central point of emotional development in the series, highlighting the beauty and pain of forming a family not by blood, but by choice.

In contrast to Jung-jae's quiet, reserved nature, Kim Dae-wook (Choi Moo-sung) is a character who speaks volumes through his silence. As the father of San-ha, Dae-wook carries the weight of his own family's emotional baggage, and his character arc is deeply rooted in the themes of guilt, responsibility, and redemption.

At the heart of Family By Choice is the trio of young adults - Ju-won, San-ha, and Hae-jun-who form the nucleus of the show. The emotional core of the series lies in their relationships with each other, but also in their understanding of what it means to be a family when the traditional concepts of blood ties don't apply.

The drama begins with the meeting of these three characters in their childhood, when Ju-won's father, Yoon Jung-jae and San-ha's father, Kim Dae-wook, decide to raise them together as a family. Despite not being related by blood, the three children quickly form an inseparable bond. San-ha is especially drawn to Ju-won, his feelings for her growing into something deeper, though he never openly expresses them. Ju-won, meanwhile, sees San-ha and Hae-jun as her brothers-protective, sometimes playful and full of youthful energy.

In these early years, their bond feels like a perfect family unit, with the two fathers providing a stable, loving foundation. The chemistry between the three young leads is endearing, with moments of sibling rivalry, laughter, and shared memories that make their eventual separation all the more painful.

The emotional core of the drama lies in the painful separation of this makeshift family. Hae-jun's decision to move to the United States, followed by San-ha's departure to Seoul, marks a significant turning point. The separation is particularly painful for Ju-won, who feels abandoned by the people she has come to love as family. The emotional weight of their departure is portrayed with such tenderness that it feels both heart-wrenching and real. The years that follow are marked by infrequent video calls, the slow deterioration of their once close-knit bond, and the lingering resentment Ju-won feels at being left behind.

In these years apart, the trio grows in different directions-San-ha becomes a doctor, Hae-jun finds his way into the business world and Ju-won opens a bakery. But despite their external success, there is an undeniable emotional void created by their separation. The chemistry between the three characters shifts from innocent childhood affection to complex adult emotions-especially as they grapple with their past and present.

The reunion of the three characters is the most emotionally charged part of Family By Choice. After ten years apart, they are brought back together by a series of chance encounters. The initial reunion is awkward, filled with unspoken tensions and old wounds. Ju-won, still angry at the boys for leaving her, struggles to reconcile with them. The pain of those lost years is palpable, but it is through these difficult moments that the characters begin to heal.

The reunion is not just a physical one - it is emotional, as the three begin to confront their unresolved feelings, the pain of abandonment and their changing identities. Ju-won, though resistant at first, starts to open up to the idea of them coming back into her life, even as her feelings for San-ha shift from familial affection to something more complex and romantic.

By the end of the series, the chemistry between Ju-won and San-ha blossoms into a romance, albeit a slow burn. Their relationship, built on years of shared history and emotional intimacy, feels both natural and deeply earned.

Family By Choice culminates in a beautifully satisfying yet bittersweet ending. The characters, having faced their emotional challenges and reconciled with their past, find a way forward together. Ju-won and San-ha's romance, though understated, feels like the culmination of everything they have been through. The final episodes, while focusing more on the romantic tension between Ju-won and San-ha, also offer a poignant reflection on the importance of family, both biological and chosen. The two fathers, Yoon Jung-jae and Kim Dae-wook, remain the emotional heart of the series, offering wisdom and quiet strength until the very end.

Family By Choice is a drama that understands the complexities of family dynamics. It captures the fragility of human relationships, the pain of separation, and the beauty of reconciliation. By the time the credits roll, it leaves viewers with a sense of fulfillment - not just because of the romantic conclusion, but because of the emotional journey of healing, forgiveness and the power of chosen family. This is a drama about finding where you truly belong, and understanding that family is not always what you're born into, but what you make of it.

In an interview, Mallika was asked about her reaction to the critics' claim, mentioning that her career is over. The actress said that such remarks do not bother her. She added, “I don't listen to nonsense.” 

Mallika Sherawat told ETimes, “All these new faces who are basking in their so-called claim to stardom, I will meet them 20 years later, and I will still be there looking exactly like this, with the same body with the same face.” 

Mallika Sherawat also opened up about the time when she refused a role in Ishaan Khatter's The Royals. FYI: Mallika was given the role of Ishaan's mother in the Netflix series. “I was promised something, and what translated looked very lame to me on paper. I felt cheated and let down, So then I didn't want to be a part of that,” said the actress. 

In the same interview, Mallika Sherawat also opened up about why she never went under the knife. She added, “I'm looking exactly the way I looked in murder with the same body with the same intensity, with the same enthusiasm and I'm proud of it. I have not done any plastic surgery or Botox. I lead a very disciplined life. I sleep on time. I don't drink alcohol, no cigarettes. Why do you need fake injections, botox, and harmful chemicals? You are tying your self-image with these chemicals. I don't judge people who do it. But I would never do it.”

On the work front, Mallika Sherawat was last seen as Chanda Rani in Triptii Dimri and Rajkummar Rao's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.

Their onscreen romance and camaraderie as Parma and Zoya were particularly appreciated and it became one of the most adored reel-life couple of the year. But did you know that initially Arjun was not in favour of Zoya's casting and thought his career would be over if he had to work with Parineeti? In an interview with Mashable India, the actor revealed that he found her to be too flippant and uncommitted to the project. Here's what had happened. 

As quoted by the Singham Again actor, he cracked a joke with Parineeti the first day they met on the sets of Ishaqzaade, and Parineeti just replied "LOL" instead of laughing. Arjun did not like her habit of talking in emoji and Gen Z language, and gave him the impression that she's not serious about her work.

Annoyed by this, Arjun shared, "I said 'Can you just laugh?' It's not a chat. So, I used to find her irritating," adding, "Mai 6 mahine se wait kar raha hu ki Zoya mil jae and Zoya aa ke 'LOL LOL' kar rahi thi. I was like 'My career is over. This girl is not interested."

But Arjun's perception of her changed soon when he discovered how great she was. "She had fire in her eyes. I was in shock. From that moment, I realized she would nail it," he admitted. 

Ishaqzaade, the romantic thriller film was written and directed by Habib Faisal and produced by Yash Raj Films. Parineeti earned a National Film Award - Special Mention for her performance in the film, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards, while Arjun was nominated for Filmfare's Best Male Debut.

The power couple are celebrating 27 years of their blockbuster film Ishq. The Indra Kumar directorial also featured Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. To celebrate the day, Ajay Devgn has dropped a collage on Instagram. It features two pictures - a snippet from the film and a recent one. The actor didn't spend much time thinking about the caption and just wrote, “27 years of Ishq and Ishq.” The post has become an instant hit on social media. 

Did you know Ajay Devgn proposed to Kajol during the shooting of Ishq? Oh yes, he did. Last year, when Kajol shared a picture to celebrate the film, Ajay Devgn replied to the post and said, “Wasn't this the film where I proposed to you with your own ring?” Kajol and Ajay Devgn got married on February 24, 1999. Their love story began on the sets of the 1995 film Gundaraj. The couple are parents to a daughter Nysa and a son Yug. 

Earlier, Kajol opened up about their love story in a chat with Humans Of Bombay. The actress said, “My love story was nothing like that because I'm nothing like it. So yeah all this is unrealistic. I was going out with somebody, I think he [Ajay Devgn] was going out with somebody at that point in time and we did a film together and we kind of became friends from there. You know, standing, sitting on set you spend so much time on set, we just started talking, became friends, then eventually I broke up, he broke up and then we became a little more than friends.”

Kajol was last seen in Do Patti. Kriti Sanon was also part of the film.

Director Neeraj Pandey is all set to make a thrilling return with this gripping heist thriller that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Ever since the film's trailer was released, the internet has been buzzing with questions about how both films are connected. In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Hardika Gupta, actor Ridhima Pandit, who is playing a key role in the film, straight up denied all the rumours and said that the film is not connected at all. Asked if there's any connection or inspiration drawn from the 1978 classic film, Ridhima said, "No, there's no connection to the 1970s film. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar has a completely different story. It's the kind of film that keeps you hooked, constantly guessing what will happen next."

Ridhima Pandit also shared her thoughts on the rise of digital platforms and described the growth of OTT platforms as "revolutionary," emphasising how they have transformed entertainment by offering viewers endless content options from the comfort of their homes. She said, "The rise of digital platforms has been revolutionary. OTT has created endless entertainment options for everyone, allowing viewers to enjoy content from the comfort of their homes. It's here to stay and has become a dominant space in the entertainment industry. Films like these find a perfect audience on OTT, and I believe this is just the beginning of its growth."

The trailer of Sikandar Ka Muqaddar was dropped earlier this month. At the heart of Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is a high-stakes diamond heist involving three prime suspects: Mangesh Desai (Rajeev Mehta), Kamini Singh (Tamannaah Bhatia) and Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwary). The twist? A cop, Jaswinder Singh (Jimmy Shergill), uses his gut instincts or moolvriti, to unmask the true criminal. The storyline of Sikandar Of Muqaddar centres around a police officer's obsessive pursuit to solve the mystery of the heist, with rising tension and unexpected twists. As Jaswinder digs deeper, he is forced to confront whether the three suspects are truly guilty, or if there's more to the story than meets the eye. The trailer unfolds across two time periods, separated by 15 years. It opens in 2008 when the crime first occurs and follows Jaswinder's investigation that blurs the lines between innocence and guilt. His obsession disrupts the lives of Kamini and Sikandar, forcing them to go into hiding.

The trailer then jumps to 15 years later, showing Sikandar's decision to finally face Jaswinder and seek answers about the past. The tension is palpable when Sikandar tells Jaswinder, "You didn't let me live a dignified life, Jaswinder saab," to which the cop replies, "I didn't let you die either, Sikandar," raising the stakes even further.

Sikandar Ka Muqaddar will release on October 29. The film also stars Tamannaah, Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill in key roles.

Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978) is a classic Bollywood drama directed by Prakash Mehra, featuring an ensemble cast of some of the industry's biggest stars. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Hema Malini, Rekha and Amjad Khan in pivotal roles. The story revolves around the complex relationships between its central characters. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of a humble man named Sikandar, who rises to power through a series of twists of fate. Vinod Khanna portrays the charismatic and morally conflicted hero, Akhtar, while Rekha and Hema Malini play women entangled in their emotional turmoil. The plot weaves a tale of love, betrayal and revenge, with themes of destiny and the choices that shape one's future. Sikandar, despite being on the right side of the law, faces the harsh realities of life, while Akhtar, a man of great ambition, struggles with his inner conflict. The film was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1978.

He told Bollywood Hungama, “I would like to request Varun that, without keeping any ego in mind, postpone the film by one week. Pushpa 2 has its own special place.” he added, “He (Allu Arjun) managed to get a crowd of 3 lakh people in Bihar, where South Indian films don't do well. He did such dhamaal over there. So, it won't be a problem if Baby John gets postponed by a week or two.”

In the video, Aishwarya says, "Street harassment. How do you deal with it? Avoid eye contact? No. Look the problem directly in the eyes. Hold your head high. Feminine and feminist. My body, my worth. Never compromise your worth. Do not doubt yourself. Stand up for your worth. Don't blame your dress or your lipstick. Street harassment is never your fault."

We're all worth it. @lorealparis." Aishwarya added #westandup in the hashtag. Take a look:

In September, Aishwarya walked the ramp for cosmetic giant L'Oreal's outdoor show at Paris Fashion Week.

Esha Singh https://noidamirror.com/bigg-boss-18-the-new-time-goddess-is-drumroll-esha-singh https://noidamirror.com/bigg-boss-18-the-new-time-goddess-is-drumroll-esha-singh Bigg Boss 18 never fails to entertain and surprise us with twists and turns. In one of the latest episodes, Eisha Singh made the headlines. Why? Well, she was appointed as the first female Time Goddess. For a task, Eisha joined hands with co-contestant Avinash Mishra. The challenge required Eisha to climb on Avinash's back and hold her position. She was already on the Time God nominated list. Eisha and Avinash completed the task almost seamlessly having fun, chatting with each other and yet remaining focused on the mission. Other nominated Time God participants were Edin Rose and Vivian Dsena.

While Edin Rose also had to climb on Avinash's back, Vivian Dsena climbed on Raja Dalal's back, reported Times of India. Shilpa Shirodkar was appointed as the sanchalak. Eisha had one request for Shilpa: “I really want to become. Please be fair”.

After Vivian Dsena failed to complete the task and was eliminated in the Time God task, Karan Veer Mehra with Edin Rose on his back also paused in between the challenge to take a rest. That's when Shilpa Shirodkar pointed out that it was against the rules and Avinash Mishra agreed. Finally, Shilpa announced the winner and said, “I will take my decision, Eisha is the Time God.” An upset Karan took a jab at Shilpa saying, “Yes, Eisha has been her priority.”

Eisha Singh and Karan Veer Mehra are often seen at a crossroads. Previously, Eisha took a dig at Karan hinting at his failed marriages. In a conversation with now-evicted Alice Kaushik, Eisha shared that contestant Arfeen Khan had revealed that he would disclose the initials of a special person in Eisha's life. Karan intervened saying, “Kahi A toh nahi”, (Is it A?)”. An angry Eisha hit back with, “Tumhari do shaadiyaan tooti hai, maine kuch bola uss baat pe? Single hu available nahi (Two of your marriages are broken, did I say anything about that? I am single but not available).” Full story here.

Bigg Boss 18 is hosted by Salman Khan. The show premieres daily on ColorsTV and is available for streaming on JioCinema.

As per the sources, Angelina has apparently cut Brad off from their kids Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

An insider shared with Radaronline: "Brad has not given up on his kids and it's been incredibly tough for him to be so alienated from them. The longer it goes, the more painful it gets.

"With the holidays coming, he's feeling the heartbreak even more and he's now saying he's willing to do whatever it takes to get some time with them even if it means swallowing his pride and asking Angelina to show some mercy."

As RadarOnline.com has reported, the 60-year-old star's relationship with Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox is not doing well while his legal wrangling with their mother continues to rage.

Most of the kids have even dropped his surname. Shiloh filed a court petition to change her moniker to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, and the others have informally changed their names as well.

Currently, only the two youngest children Vivienne and Knox see Pitt during his visitation rights.

Recently, Angelina had said that for her "nothing else matters" apart from motherhood because she's devoted to her kids.

During an appearance on 'Good Morning America', Angelina, who shares her children with former husband and Hollywood star Brad Pitt, spoke about playing opera star Maria Callas in new movie Maria, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She was also asked if there's anything in her life that compares to the late star's love of singing and the actress replied: "My motherhood ... It's my happiness. You can take everything else away from me ... Nothing else matters."

Amid this, the actress attended the Global Women's Forum in Dubai on Wednesday, where she delivered a speech on women's empowerment. As Aishwarya took the stage, a large screen behind her displayed her name as "Aishwarya Rai | International Star," omitting the "Bachchan" surname. Several videos and photos from the event have been doing the rounds on social media.

In an earlier interview with The Hindu, Abhishek Bachchan thanked Aishwarya for looking after their daughter Aaradhya. He recalled how the actress chose to step away from her acting career when he was born to dedicate herself to raising her children. "My mother stopped acting when I was born because she wanted to spend time with the children. We never felt the void of Dad not being around. I think at the end of the day after work, you come home at night," he said.

When director Shoojit Sircar highlighted the sacrifices Jaya made for her children, Abhishek drew a parallel to his own life, particularly about his actor-wife Aishwarya. He said, "In my household, I'm lucky I get to go out and make movies but I know that Aishwarya is at home with Aaradhya and I thank her immensely for that but I don't think the kids look at it that way. They don't look at you as a third person, they look at you as the first person," he said."

Rumours about Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's divorce have been circulating on social media for quite some time now. These rumours gained traction when the couple arrived separately at a high-profile wedding In July. The speculation intensified when Abhishek liked an Instagram post discussing the increase in "grey divorces," which further fuelled the divorce rumours.

The post, which Abhishek Bachchan liked, revolves around the idea of "Why love stops being easy." It also states, "Couples who have been married for long are now parting ways. What has prompted their decision and why are grey divorces on the rise?"

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan married in April 2007. The two welcomed their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan in November 2011. So far, the couple have not confirmed nor denied the divorce rumours.

On the professional front, they worked together in several films such as Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000), Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Dhoom 2 (2006), Umrao Jaan (2006), Guru (2007), Sarkar Raj (2008), and Raavan (2010)."

The couple fell in love while working together on the sets of Kalank Ka Tika, and got married in 1986. In 1993, Aditya had an extramarital affair with Kabir Bedi's daughter, Pooja Bedi. The duo was open about their relationship but it all ended when Pooja's maid filed a formal complaint against Aditya, accusing him of sexual abuse. Around 2004, Aditya Pancholi was rumoured to be dating actress Kangana Ranaut. Later, she accused him of physical abuse while they were also involved in a number of public arguments and controversies. Aditya claimed that he was financially mistreated by Kangana. 

Amid all this, Zarina Wahab stood by Aditya Pancholi's side and defended his actions. In a recent interview, the veteran actress confessed that she was always ready for such things to happen.

“I was always aware of Nirmal (Aditya's real name)'s affairs, but I never questioned him. I only cared about how he treated me when he was home. I ignored asking him questions because it would have made him fearless. I was completely prepared for him to have affairs,” said Zarina in a chat with Lehran Retro. 

When asked about abuse allegations against her husband by his (reported) girlfriends Pooja Bedi and Kangana Ranaut, Zarina Wahab said, “He has never been an abusive husband. He is such a sweetheart. Ulta mai maar du use (For once, I might beat him). But, he is very sweet. His girlfriends accused him of these things because they didn't get what they wanted.”

Talking about Kangana Ranaut, the actress said, “I was always nice to Kangana. She often visited my home. He was very nice to her. I don't know what went wrong. I just can tell that I saw what he couldn't and eventually that happened.”

After several years of speaking publicly about her alleged abuse and assault by Aditya Pancholi, Kangana Ranaut filed a police complaint against the actor in 2019. Kangana accused him of “assaulting and exploiting” her 13 years ago. Mr Pancholi, in turn, filed a case of defamation against the Queen actress. 

Despite all the controversies and affairs, Zarina Wahab praised Aditya Pancholi for being a “great husband and father”. She said, “He is a great father and a good husband. He has never stopped me from doing anything. Be it films, be it travelling, he would never stop.”

Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab share two kids, a daughter named Sana and a son named Sooraj.

During an interview at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Kriti Sanon was asked about the criticism. NDTV asked her about making news with the unique look. Seemingly surprised, Kriti asked, “Oh, I did? I made news? I didn't realize that was my look.” When Arun Singh mentioned that it was a unique take on the saree despite Diet Sabya's remarks, Kriti replied, “I don't follow him, so I have no idea.” When Arun then asked, “Is it a him?” Kriti playfully responded, “Him? Is it?” before adding with a laugh, “He's too mean to be a woman.”

Diet Sabya quickly reacted to Kriti Sanon's playful remark. The fashion commentator posted a video of the interview on their Instagram Stories. The caption read, "Wheezzinggg, she hates us."

The movie, led by Aamir Khan, featured Omi as Chatur Ramalingam, a Uganda-born Tamil student. Recently, Omi shared his experience of working with Aamir Khan in the 2009 blockbuster. “When I worked with Aamir Khan, it wasn't just the things he told me that stood out; it was how he worked. Over the course of my career in Bollywood, I've acted with many well-known stars and been part of over a dozen commercials with A-list actors, so I've seen various work ethics. Many actors are great, they enjoy what they do, and some come from successful Bollywood families, so acting feels like a fun experience for them," the actor told ANI.

Omi Vaidya also spoke about how Aamir Khan constantly looks for ways to improve his performance. He added, "He takes his craft extremely seriously. People often call him a perfectionist, but it's more than that. He's constantly looking for ways to improve his performance, the scene, and even other actors' performances. While shooting '3 Idiots', he wasn't the director, but he was always engaged--during rehearsals, during takes, and even when not in front of the camera."

Mentioning how 3 Idiots changed his life, Omi Vaidya said, “The film wasn't just a career boost for me, but it also taught me so much about the power of humour and storytelling. The teamwork and the kind of energy we had on set were unparalleled. It was a dream come true for me to work with such talented actors. We all had a lot of fun, but the impact of the movie was something we never anticipated." 

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, 3 Idiots also featured Sharman Joshi, R Madhavan and Kareena Kapoor in key roles. 

Meanwhile, Omi Vaidya's upcoming film American Warrior is expected to release in April 2025.

Dhanush has approached the Madras High Court against Nayanthara, her husband Vignesh Shivan and their production house Rowdy Pictures Private Limited. The civil suit claims Nayanthara and others used certain visuals connected to the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the Netflix original Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. Dhanush's Wunderber Films Private also has taken out an application urging the High Court to grant permission to sue in Tamil Nadu the Mumbai-based company Los Gatos Production Services India LLP, an entity through which Netflix reports its content investments in India.

As Dhanush's lawyer P.S. Raman made the case for permission to sue Los Gatos, it was opposed by the rival counsels Sathish Parasaran and R. Parthasarathy, representing Ms. Nayanthara and Netflix. After hearing both sides, the judge allowed Dhanush's request.

Dhanush's move came days after his threat last week of legal action  if the content (in Nayanthara's documentary) wasn't taken down within 24 hours. The statement from Dhanush's legal representative asserted, "Advice your client to take down the content infringing my client's copyright over the film NAANUM ROWDY DHAAN by using the same in your client's documentary named NAYANTHARA BEYOND THE FAIRYTALE within 24 hours, failing which my client will be forced to initiate appropriate legal action, including but not limited to seeking damages to a sum of Rs. 10 crores against your client and Netflix India."

Nayanthara had shared an open letter on Instagram, slamming Dhanush for touching "an all-time low" with his demand for Rs 10 crore compensation from the Jawan actress for use of footage lasting a few seconds. Nayanthara also shared a post thanking Shah Rukh Khan, Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and other producers who allowed her to use footage from their films for her documentary and granted her their all-clears "without any hesitation and delay."

Shrutika comes out in Chum's support as she says, "Jab tak mein andar gayi thhi tab tak usne Chum ka portion le liya thha. (By the time I went inside he had already taken Chum's portion.)” The verbal spat appeared to be food-related. 

Karan Veer Mehra hits back at Shrutika Arjun with, "Toh khana rakkha hai na. Bol bol ke confuse kar rahi hai. (The was already kept aside. She is confusing me)" To this Shrutika takes a dig at Karan and points out, "At least mei kisiko nicha dikha ke unka footage nahi lena chahti huun. Selfish number one. Aur sabko neecha dikhata hai. Janha pe tujhe bolna hai na wahan pe bol. (At least I don't seek footage by bringing anyone down. You are so selfish. And you look down upon everyone. Speak up where you must.)” A defiant Karan shouts, “Nahi bolna hai (I don't want to tell).”

As things escalate Chum Darang tries to pacify the situation. “It is nobody's fault. It is my fault because I felt sick,” she says. 

Previously, Karan Veer Mehra had a verbal spat with Vivian Dsena when Karan confronted Vivian about a previous task. Karan said, “Jab aap time god bane the, aapne rule bana liya tha (ki) Time god ko allowed nahi hai kaam karna. (When you became the time god, you made a rule that the time god isn't allowed to work.)”.

But she did not have it all easy. During a recent interview, the actress recalled being bullied in school, which even led her to seek professional in terms of therapy. She revealed that she has been called everything from "hunchback to flat chested to chicken leg and hairy."

Looking back at her time in school, the actress said, "When I was in school, social media had just started. I was called all sorts of things, like hunchback, flat screen, chicken legs... That was in school, we were in our bubble. Now, because of social media, the smallest voice can be amplified. It did affect my self-confidence, it still does today. Self-love is a journey, not the destination."

On being asked the worst kind of trolling she received, Ananya mentioned it is not really possible to choose just one, given the difficult journey she's had, but she reiterated how people from her school made it difficult for her. "A lot has been said about me, so I can't really choose one moment. Sometimes, when I can't control a narrative that makes me upset, for instance, when I started out, in my first year (in films), someone made a fake account on Instagram, and they started writing they were in school with me and said I lied about my education and getting into college. First, I was like, 'No one is going to believe that'. But people did believe it. Somedays, I definitely don't want to be on social media," she recalled. 

The CTRL actress then shared that she was in therapy for a while because the negativity around her affected her.  "I have done therapy in the past, I am not as regular now. I could not articulate my emotions. I used to just feel very, very down. The thing, I sometimes feel with mental health and social media, is that you may read something in the moment and you may not realise that it is affecting you, because you think 'I am fine right now, I am having a good day, I am in the car, I am busy'. I will read a comment and I will ignore it. But weeks later, it could still be there in your subconscious somewhere and things that like really pile up," she explained. 

Ananya Panday started her Bollywood career with Student Of The Year 2 in 2019, and since then she has carved out her niche in the industry, choosing the right films and projects. She will be seen in the second season of Call Me Bae, as well as Dharma Productions' next film Chand Mera Dil which was recently announced.

Rashmika Mandanna, on Tuesday, shared a long, emotional note on her Instagram stories about finishing filming for the movie on November 25, just 10 days before its release date. She started with "Dear Diary" and went on to describe how November 25 was an overwhelming day for her - the last day on sets after a five-year long journey. But what caught the attention of fans and readers is the hint of the third movie in the Pushpa franchise. "Ok I'll explain," she said before continuing. 

 Rashmika started with how the day started off as any other day on set, but once the shoot ended, it hit her that out of the " 7/8 years" of her career, she spent the last five working on Pushpa, to the point where it almost became her home. "Out of the 7/8 years, last 5 years being on this set almost made this set my home in the industry and finally it was my last day," she said, and added "it felt different.. It felt overwhelming..it felt like it was ending, some sort of sadness that even I didn't understand and suddenly all the emotions came together and the days of extreme hard work came rushing back to me and.. I was feeling tired, exhausted, but at the same time so grateful."  

The highlight of this note is when she said, "of course there's still so much work left and apparently there's a part 3," dropping a major hint about the future of the super successful franchise.

Earlier, in an interview, the 26-year-old had accused Rupali of physically assaulting her mother in Mumbai, stating, "Rupali physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai." Esha also accused Ashwin of being "a very abusive man physically and emotionally." Now, Esha has shared a long note on Instagram Stories addressing how her decision to share her personal story has affected her and the people around her. She said, “Hi Everyone, I'm Esha Verma, and earlier this month, I made the difficult decision to share my personal story involving my father and my experiences growing up. This decision sparked widespread attention across social media and the public eye. Speaking up was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it also became a turning point in my life. It brought clarity, peace, and liberation from years of silence. I was mindful of how this would affect not just me but also my friends and loved ones, and I handled it with the utmost care.”

She continued, “For 24 years, I felt trapped in a reality I couldn't escape. Sharing my experiences was my way of finding freedom and justice. My intention was never to cause harm but to shed light on experiences that shaped me. In doing so, I hoped to give a voice to others who might be facing similar struggles, especially when it comes to family dynamics. As an American citizen, I have, and have exercised, my right to speak up with honesty.”

Esha Verma added, “To address one important point: a child should not be punished for speaking their truth. Despite being a young adult, I am still my father's child. Their response to my statement was disturbing, cruel, and displayed their true character. I was not just a random individual speaking out but someone who was directly affected as a member of their family. I have no professional connection to Bollywood or the Indian entertainment industry, nor have I attended or participated in auditions or professional photoshoots in India. One photoshoot in Mumbai in 2017 involved comments made about my appearance by someone I referenced in my story. Those remarks deeply affected my self-esteem as a young adult, but I've worked hard to rebuild and grow from that experience. I want to encourage everyone to embrace their unique features and celebrate the traits passed down through generations, as they make us who we are. I never involved a minor in my statements. What I shared was factual: I learned of a marriage that took place on February 6th, 2013, and later discovered on August 25th of the same year that they had a child. Any additional interpretations published in the media were made without my input or consent. I only spoke about my own experiences and addressed two individuals directly.”

Esha Verma added that “after posting my last statement, which focused on my personal experiences, I chose to archive it after 48 hours and deactivate certain platforms.” Esha went on to add that “this will be her final statement on this matter.”

Addressing the purpose of the statement,  Esha Verma added, “The purpose of this statement is solely to clarify any misconceptions and address uncertainties surrounding my story and the responses it has received. It is not intended to instigate further back and forth on this matter. I will not be participating in any interviews, further discussions, or commentary about this situation moving forward. My focus now is on healing, rebuilding, and embracing the next chapter of my life. The past few weeks have been overwhelming, and I took a necessary step back to recharge and prioritize the well-being of myself and my loved ones. I have come to understand that family is not always defined by blood but by the love, support, and loyalty of those who truly stand by you. I am now ready to move forward, leaving this behind with dignity and peace.”

Expressing her gratitude, Esha Verma added, “I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported me during this time. Your kindness, encouragement, and understanding have been invaluable. This experience has been incredibly challenging, but it has also reminded me of my strength and resilience. I'm excited to embrace this new chapter with peace, authenticity, and dignity, surrounded by those who truly matter to me. Let's leave this behind and focus on creating brighter, stronger futures together. Thank you for being by my side. Sending love & peace to all, Esha V.”

While Salma Khan wore an ethnic outfit, the rest of the family sported casual and cool looks. Sohail captioned the post simply by writing, “Blessed,” followed by a red heart emoji.

In September, Sohail Khan was at the centre of dating rumours after a video surfaced showing a woman in the backseat of his car. The video, taken outside a Mumbai restaurant called Los Cavos, led many to speculate about his relationship status. However, Sohail addressed the rumours and clarified that the woman was simply an "old friend." In an interview with Hindustan Times, he explained, "No, it is not true. I am only answering you because you had the decency to question before assuming things. She is just an old friend of mine."

Sohail Khan married Seema Sajdeh in 1998, and the couple has two sons, Nirvaan and Yohan. They got divorced in 2022 after being married for over two decades. 

Earlier, Seema Sajdeh spoke candidly about her divorce from Sohail Khan, sharing that she has moved on and let go of any negativity.

"So even for the kids, for the family members, my brother or my sister. It's not nice to see your sister wallowing or your daughter or you know... then you're constantly stressed about that person and whatever. So it's for them to see that I am looking at my life completely from the positive angle. I've let go of any negativity or anything I might have. Also, I think I have reached a point where I don't care anymore. As long as, these people know who I am, this is my family, my parents and my kids and my siblings... The people around me know who I am and I am going to stay true to myself and quite frankly, I have zero filter," she told Bollywood Bubble. 

Sohail Khan has appeared in movies such as Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna, Do Knot Disturb and Tubelight, to name a few. He has directed movies like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Hello Brother, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya and Jai Ho.

Netflix India shared a new clip from the docu-feature where Nayanthara talked about the "lowest point" in her life. Nayanthara talked about Ghajini in which she was bodyshamed for her weight. "There were days when I used to see all the comments and people were like 'Why is she even acting? Why is she even there in the film? She's so fat," recalled the actor. Nayanthara said she doesn't mind if critics slam her acting skills. But she did get affected by trolling. "You can't say such things. You can talk about the performance part of it. Maybe, I was not good. But I was doing exactly what my director told me to do. And I was wearing exactly what he told me to wear. I was a newcomer so I never had a say in it," said Nayanthara.

Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale opened to good reviews. However, ahead of the release of the show, Nayanthara was served a legal notice and Rs 10 crore compensation by Dhanush, producer of the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. The legal notice was sent as Dhanush didn't allow to use the footage of the film which appeared as a 3-second clip in the trailer of the show. Nayanthara called out Dhanush in an open letter, shared on Instagram.

For the unversed, A. R. Murugadoss' Ghajini featuring Asin, Suriya and Nayanthara was a massive success at the box office. The film was remade in Hindi in 2008 with Aamir Khan in the lead role. In the Hindi version, Asin played the role of Nayanthara.

She has been a part of the popular movie series since 2003. However, does Keira wish to slip into the shoes of Elizabeth Swann again? The answer seems to be a headstrong no. Speaking on the matter, Keira Knightley said, “It's a funny thing when you have something that was making and breaking you at the same time. I was seen as shit because of them, and yet because they did so well I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for. They were the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.”

Highlighting the long hours of the shoot Keira Knightley added, “The hours are insane. It's years of your life, you have no control over where you're filming, how long you're filming, what you're filming.” She opened up during an interview with The Times of London. 

Keira Knightley continued that she has decided not to sign any projects featuring a multiple-film franchise. She reached the conscious choice after welcoming two daughters — Delilah and Edie with her husband, musician James Righton. “I couldn't go job to job (abroad) now. I wouldn't be in any way fair to them, and I wouldn't want to. I've chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I've had to take a major step back,” she explained. 

In another segment, Keira Knightley revealed that over the years she has rejected several movies on certain topics. The actress said, “I've wanted it to be more pure entertainment and maybe that's because I've needed that. I keep being offered things about children dying or about mothers dying. Can't do it.”

Keira Knightley appeared in the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films — Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Dead Man's Chest (2006) and At World's End (2007), all led by Johnny Depp. However, she struck wonder with her performance in movies like Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina, Begin Again and The Imitation Game.

Display HL: Samantha Finally Speaks Up On Her Divorce From Naga Chaitanya

Excerpt: The Shaakuntalam actress revealed how blatant lies were being spread about her post her divorce, and now she is here to "tell the truth"

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya announced their divorce in 2021. More than three years later while the divorce is still talked about and reports are still circulated online, Samantha has never commented on it on a public platform. But the actress finally broke her silence during an interview with Galatta India, setting many records straight. The Shaakuntalam actress revealed how blatant lies were being spread about her post her divorce, and now she is here to "tell the truth."

Dissing the society we live in that blames a woman for any relationship fallout, Samantha remarked, "Unfortunately, we live in a society which is so patriarchal in nature, that anytime something goes wrong, a woman gets subjected to... I'm not saying men don't, men do, but a woman gets subjected to a lot more judgment and a lot more shaming, not just online, even in real life."

She continued at how "absolutely untrue" things were written about her just because she chose to stay quiet. However, she has now decided not to let these lies define her anymore. "Many things were said about me that were absolutely untrue. But what held me back, I remember having this conversation with myself when things were really, really crappy and they were really, really... absolute lies were being spread. And there were many times when I wanted to come out and say, this is not true, let me tell you the truth," she said.

She also slammed the people around her whose loyalties would shift every day. "You gain a bunch of people who are so fickle, they may love you for a minute, and then maybe like three days later, you do something stupid and they go back to hating you again," she said, adding, "Can you not live with the fact that your friends and your family know the truth? And it's okay. If people think that you think all of these things that are not true about you, isn't it okay? It's fine."

Explaining how seeking validation and love has been her core values, she said, "All my life I wanted to be loved and validated and appreciated. It's okay. So yeah, I mean, I still haven't said anything. So whoever believes, whatever they believe, it's up to them.

Naga Chaitanya, on the other hand, is all set to marry Sobhita Dhulipala on December 4 at Annapurna Studios. The cuple got engaged in August this year after dating for two years.

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Managing diabetes requires resilience, organisation and responsibility, as it affects both physical and mental well-being. People living with diabetes face daily challenges at home, work and school. On this important occasion, let us take a closer look at some celebrities who have openly spoken about diabetes:

1. Maheep Kapoor

Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives star Maheep Kapoor recently made it to the headlines after addressing a serious issue regarding diabetes treatment and the misuse of the medicine named Ozempic. In a candid conversation on the Netflix show, Maheep called out individuals who are using Ozempic as a weight loss aid, despite it being a medication specifically designed for people with diabetes. She highlighted how this misuse of the drug has led to shortages, making it harder for diabetic patients who genuinely need the medication to access it. Her statement quickly stirred controversy, as trolls began linking her comments to Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives producer Karan Johar's dramatic weight loss transformation. Click here to read how KJo reacted. 

2. Nick Jonas

As per a post shared by Nick Jonas in 2019, the singer was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2005. In an elaborate note, Nick shared how fighting the disease can feel "lonely and isolating." The star wrote, “14 years ago this month I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This experience has shaped how I approach my health - working out, eating well, and always thinking about my blood sugar and insulin needs. You can't always see what goes into managing an invisible illness, and Type 1 diabetes can feel lonely and isolating.”

3. Salma Hayek

In 2007, when Salma Hayek was pregnant with her daughter, Valentina, she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. In 2008, the actress opened up about her diagnosis. "I got gestational diabetes, which I didn't realise at first. It occurs in women who have high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. I didn't know whether I was feeling bad because I was pregnant or whether something was seriously wrong. I was nauseated for nine months, which can be one of the symptoms," she told Parents Magazine.

4. Tom Hanks

You've got type 2 diabetes, young man,'" The actor added, "It's controllable. Something's going to kill us all, Dave."

5. Halle Berry

In 2020, The Union actress opened up about living with diabetes during the pandemic. She said, "I do feel at risk." She added, "I'm very strict about quarantining and who is in my bubble.

Orry's Instagram is a treasure trove and he never stops surprising his Instafam. For this year's Halloween, Orry picked up Aamir Khan's classic films and he superimposed his face onto the famous on-screen characters and added the names of the streaming giants where the films can be watched alongside with it. The long list included Aamir's blockbuster hits like Ghajni, Taare Zameen Par, Lagaan, Talaash, Rang De Basanti, to name a few. Interestingly, Orry captioned the post with the film title My Name Is Khan, which is a Shah Rukh Khan film. Orry added the hashtag Halloween in the post. Take a look at Orry's post:

Orry became a topic of conversation on the episode in which Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday shared the couch on the last season of Koffee With Karan. Karan Johar wanted Sara to tell the world who Orhan Awatramani aka Orry is. KJo said, "Now, that we are bringing up Orry, can you just tell the world who he is?" To this, Sara replied, "Orry? Who doesn't know who Orry is?" Ananya interrupted, "Someone didn't know that. Then I tried to explain what Orry is. And, he told me. I forgot the line. It was something like 'Loved, but misunderstood'. I think he's going by that now." KJo, who looked dissatisfied, added, "No, but that's what you call a phenomenon, not a person. But that's another profession. What do you do? I am misunderstood and loved by misunderstood. But there is also a job people have. What is his job?" Sara replied, "I think, he's like a really funny person. Yeah, he has great energy." Ananya added, "He dresses well. He is good with captions."

Orry is often spotted partying with Bollywood celebrities and star kids including Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Nysa Devgan, Ananya Panday and others.

The picture posted on Instagram captures the veteran star in an intense avatar. He appears to be lost in thought, staring blankly at something. Behind him are glass windows overlooking a dimly lit cityscape. Nagarjuna's disheveled look adds to the mystery. The side note read, “The epic tale is ready to unfold… Stay tuned to KING Nagarjuna's strikingly cool role in Kubera Glimpse.” Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna are also a part of Kubera. 

Just two days ago, the makers of Kubera shared another poster featuring Rashmika Mandanna's character. The image showcases the actress wearing an ethnic suit and facing the lens. She has a soft smile on her face and carries a backpack. In the backdrop, a port and a bridge can be seen. “Get ready to witness a whole new spark of Rashmika Mandanna,” the caption read. 

Back in May, when Nagarjuna's first look from Kubera was unveiled, it made quite some noise. The video shows a bespectacled Nagarjuna walking with an umbrella amid a heavy downpour. The sadness in his eyes is unmissable. The text layout in the clip reads, “King Nagarjuna”.  

On Ganesh Chaturthi, Nagarjuna and Dhanush's poster from Kubera made the headlines. Uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), the poster captures Nagarjuna looking away from the camera. He looks brooding in glasses, wearing a black t-shirt. Meanwhile, Dhanush's never-before-seen avatar caught the attention of many. The actor was seen with a rugged beard and messy hair. The text on the poster said, “Happy Vinayaka Chavithi”. “Wishing everyone a joyous Vinayaka Chavithi from the Sekhar Kammula's Kubera team!  Get ready to witness the ultimate powerhouse duo— Dhanush sir's fierce energy and Nagarjuna garu commanding presence,” the side note read. 

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, Kubera has been jointly bankrolled by Puskur Ram Mohan Rao and Suniel Narang under the banners of Amigos Creations Pvt Ltd and Sri Venkateswara Cinemas LLP.

The actress shared a series of memes on her Instagram stories, but one particular meme featuring ChatGPT caught our attention. The meme was inspired by a scene from the iconic 1989 Salman Khan film Maine Pyar Kiya, featuring the song Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali. In the clip, Salman Khan lovingly holds actress Bhagyashree and mouths the line "Mere sawaalon ka... jawaab do" (give answers to my questions). The meme humorously placed ChatGPT in the role of Bhagyashree, with Salman representing "me" and ChatGPT labelled "ChatGPT."

Along with the meme, Priyanka wrote, "Same OK Gn," humorously relating to the interaction depicted, suggesting that she too finds herself asking ChatGPT questions and getting quick answers in return.

Last week, Priyanka Chopra shared glimpses of her life with her two-year-old daughter, Malti Marie. Among the photos were selfies, pictures of flowers, some early Christmas lights and a clip of her pre-makeup skincare routine. One of the highlights was an adorable picture of Malti Marie walking around with a rainbow unicorn blanket draped over her face. The fun didn't stop there.

Priyanka followed up with a photo of herself laughing and added, "My daughter is funny!" She also shared a photo of Malti sitting on the floor, playing with her Minnie Mouse plush toys, humorously captioning it, "I'm not crying... you are." The caption read, "This past week was...1: when the glam slaps 2: oh hello pelvic bones haven't seen you for a while 3: it's almost that time 4: skin prep before starting make up 5: so pretty 6: "I'm a rainbow ghost " - MM 7: my daughter is funny! 8: Diana's eyes.. 9: " My family, I gotchu everyone " I'm not crying.. you are."

Earlier this month, the Chopra-Jonas family celebrated Diwali together. The pictures feature Malti Marie dressed in a beautiful floral-embroidered sari set. Priyanka shared a series of photos from the celebration and called it "a perfect Diwaloween."

On the work front, Priyanka is filming for Citadel season 2 and she will also appear in Heads of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. Additionally, she is set to star in The Bluff, directed by Frank E Flowers, where she plays a former female pirate protecting her family from her past in the 19th-century Caribbean.

After appearing on The Great Indian Kapil Show with Kartik, where she revealed all his mischiefs from childhood, she has now shared another interesting story about the actor during a recent interview with Galatta India. She recalled the time when Kartik accidentally set his sister's hair on fire because of his curious nature as a kid. If you're wondering how, it was an experiment with a deodorant bottle. 

"Kartik was always very curious. One day, he saw the flammable sign on a deodorant bottle and wanted to test if it would actually spray fire. He asked his sister Kittu to light a candle, and then sprayed the deodorant through the candle flame. Unfortunately, he sprayed too much, and Kittu's hair caught fire. Luckily, they managed to put it out, but Kartik got a good scolding after that," she recounted.

The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor wasted no time in chiming in. Defending himself, he said, "I didn't mean to burn her hair. She was just in the wrong spot, and when the flames went up, one side of her hair caught fire. I immediately started throwing water on her. My mom was really angry at me after that."

Coming from a completely non-film background, Kartik made his Bollywood debut with Pyaar Ka Punchnama in 2011, after years of juggling his studies and acting auditions. Since then, he has appeared in a string of hit films like Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Luka Chuppi, Chandu Champion, and the recently released Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

In the episode that is slated to air on Thursday night, the actor also broke his silence on a video of him that went viral seven years ago. In the video, the actor was seen buying alcohol from a liquor shop in Goa. This had divided the internet, where one section favoured him, and the other thought it was irresponsible of him for not being a good role model.

In the episode, the Pushpa actor admitted that he was buying the alcohol indeed, but it was for a friend, not him. According to a Pinkvilla report, the friend in question is also set to appear on the show. 

Set to release in two parts, the first part of the episode will air at 7 pm on Thursday, and will also stream on the OTT platform Aha. Allu Arjun's mother Nirmala Allu will also make a special appearance during the show. 

In the same episode, the actor also opened up about being the first Telugu actor to win a National Award. "Best Actor kinda National Award evariki vachindi ani check cheste, okka Telugu peru kuda ledu. Adi naa manusu lo baa undipoindi. Idi nenu round-up chesi, deeni kottali (I checked the Best Actor National Awards list and realised no Telugu person had gotten it. It hurt me to see that. I decided then to achieve it)," Allu Arjun replied when asked about his feelings on the win. 

On the work front, Pushpa 2: The Rule is scheduled to release in theatres on December 5. Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil will reprise their roles as Srivalli and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat, and Arjun will play Pushpa.

That isn't any prosthetic."

I Want To Talk is directed by Shoojit Sircar. Sharing his work experience with the October director, Abhishek said, "But, no, I think it reassures you as actors that there's a little bit of space for everybody out there. What I'd like to thank Shoojit Da for is, and I hope you all can find some sort of parallel in your own life, you know, we're all stuck in the rut of life."

From becoming the first Punjabi singer to perform at Coachella to making the world groove to his peppy beats, the  40-year-old has done it all like a true Punjabi. And, his Dil-Luminati Tour concert has everyone talking. Now, B Praak, who is a music composer and singer, has decoded the craze behind Diljit Dosanjh. B Praak said that what Diljit has achieved today is because of hard work and dedication. 

Speaking to Shubhankar Mishra, B Praak said, "Diljit Dosanjh has been working hard on himself and what he has achieved today is a fruit of his patience and hard work. Diljit Dosanjh has some super-hit songs. For that matter, some of my songs have done better than his. There are people who have bigger hits than him but Diljit has worked on it. To be honest, you need to take time for yourself. He spent time on himself, went to the mountains to meditate and found peace. After this, he worked on the ideas and discussed them with his team. He financed the shows all by himself. Yes, Diljit failed initially but didn't give up.”

B Praak added, “Today, what Diljit Dosanjh has achieved is all because of the hard work put in by him. I, as a music director and singer, think it's important to spend time on yourself. I am also working on stuff but won't share it here right now. Let it happen.”

His performance is complemented by Saurabh Sachdeva, who delivers a nuanced portrayal as Jogi, Amar's perplexed yet devoted friend. The film is directed by Rajat K. and balances introspection with raw humour and humanity.

I'm thrilled about the brands I'm working with and excited to explore my creative side. I'm also working on something special that I will announce soon-it's going to be an ode to my father."

The film, which was backed by Aamir Khan's production house and directed by Kiran Rao, was announced as India's official Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film in September. FYI: This was their first collaboration after the divorce. Now, the two have opened up about their equation after separation and how they co-parent their son Azad Rao Khan.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir Khan said, “Divorce didn't affect our relationship because it happens organically. So, divorce is the word that implies cleaving; you are moving away. We were moving away as husband and wife, but we were not moving away as human beings.”

The actor added Kiran Rao gave him 11 points to become a better husband after their divorce. Aamir Khan said, “She [Kiran Rao] told me when there is a gathering, people are home for dinner, anywhere you go out, you take over the conversation and suddenly it is you telling all these stories. She said you don't allow other people to talk. I did not agree with her. But I wrote it down - on my notes, in my phone. I thought it would be useful. I have been working on them everyday.” 

Aamir Khan, who is known for his humour, added, “She did not ask me, ‘How can I be a better wife.' If you will ask me someday, I will also give her a list.” To this, Kiran Rao said, “Luckily, now my ex-wife, so I don't need to know.”

Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan got divorced in 2021, after 16 years of marital bliss. The two first met in 2001 on the set of the blockbuster movie Lagaan, where Kiran was an assistant director. The two grew closer and eventually got married in December 2005.

They have joined the OG gang — Maheep Kapoor, Seema Kiran Sajdeh, Neelam and Bhavana — on the show. Now, Bhavana has opened up about her equation with producer-director Karan Johar. FYI: The Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives is backed by KJo's Dharma Productions.  As per Bhavana, Karan Johar is the “king of everything.”

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Bhavana Pandey said, “Karan Johar is the king of everything I feel. I mean the amount that man works and the amount he packs it all in a day, I really want to understand where does he get the bandwidth and the energy from. And you know, when you call Karan or message him… people take hours to reply and that's understandable. Karan, if he can't call you back, he'll message you and say, ‘I'll call you back in so much time.' He's very good with that.”

Bhavana Pandey also revealed it's Karan Johar who first instigates and then shows up as a peacemaker. She, in good humour, said, “Aag lagao (instigate) and the peacemaker. He lagaos the aag (instigate) and then he puts the water.” 

During the same interview, Bhavana Pandey spoke about her husband, actor Chunky Panday's grounded personality. 

She said, “He has a more grounded personality. Honestly, than mine. But yes, I think I've always maintained that the reason we work so well through our marriage is because we're friends. The core of our relationship is friendship, and we behave like friends with each other. You know, like, you argue with each other, you love each other, and then, you know, some days you're very happy, and some days you're not. So, it's like a very normal friendship. And, I mean, we decided to, you know, take love in the right manner and spirit, and have that patience with each other.”

The show was a hit in the 1990s. The actor recently made headlines after he announced the revival of the series.

In less than 24 hours, there have been over 50,000 searches on the topic.

Talking about Shaktimaan, Mukesh Khanna stated that the iconic character was a teacher to the kids and had even inspired children to have their milk. The actor told news agency IANS, “I would like to tell you that Shaktimaan has two forms. One is an action hero, but Shaktimaan is not just an action hero. Shaktimaan is not just a superhero, he has also become a super teacher.”

Mukesh Khanna added, “I felt that in 1997, a lady came up to me and said, Mukesh ji, I am very thankful to you. I said, sister, what is the matter? She said, ‘I am very thankful to you'. She said, ‘My child started drinking milk because of you. He didn't drink milk. He didn't drink milk when he was beaten. Now he has milk three times. ‘Shaktimaan said that if you drink milk, you will become powerful'.”

The actor shared that incidents like these made him realise the importance of Shaktimaan's teaching. He said, “We started talking about small topics. More than 200 messages as Shaktimaan. So, Shaktimaan is coming. You people have been asking for 2-3 years. When will he come? Who will come? Where will he come from? Will he come or not? Everyone is lying. Everyone is telling the truth.”

Actress Disha Patani, who made her Tamil debut with Kanguva, is no different. Anyone who follows her on Instagram knows that Disha loves watching anime, and her workout playlist includes songs by Kai from the Korean pop band EXO. In a recent interview, Disha talked about her love for anime and shared her thoughts on how she feels Korean projects are influenced by Bollywood.

"I have grown up watching anime as a kid and Dragon Ball Z and all these. I'm fascinated by anime. The storyline they have, I don't know if you can capture that in a film the way they emote, the kind of stories they have, whichever genre you enjoy. The emotional connection is unreal in most of the anime," Disha Patani told PTI.

Talking about Korean projects, Disha Patani added, "Korea is great when it comes to filmmaking, series, and romance. I feel a lot of it is taken from Bollywood when you watch it. I love their music, fashion, culture and everything about it." 

During the same conversation, Disha Patani shared that she feels she ends up doing “less work” than she thinks she should. She added. "I really need to love something to do it or until I'm super happy. It's intuitive and if I don't get that feeling I can't do it. I wait for that feeling…It takes a lot of time but I am trying. I'm going to do a lot of work going forward... Working on Kanguva was a beautiful experience." 

In her latest Instagram post, Disha shared several photos capturing her having a great time. Check them out:

]]> Sat, 16 Nov 2024 16:06:40 +0530 Editor Freedom At Midnight Review: Crafted With Utmost Diligence, The Show Gives History Its Due https://noidamirror.com/freedom-at-midnight-review-crafted-with-utmost-diligence-the-show-gives-history-its-due https://noidamirror.com/freedom-at-midnight-review-crafted-with-utmost-diligence-the-show-gives-history-its-due In Freedom of Midnight, showrunner and director Nikkhil Advani, working with a script by a team of six writers, blends solid historicity with elements of fiction and imagination to bring to the screen the agonizing final leg of India's freedom struggle.    

The SonyLIV drama series produced by Emmay Entertainment and StudioNext, is crafted with utmost diligence. It blends grandeur with intimacy, swept with precision, sustained gravitas with an acute awareness of the timeless contemporaneity of political decisions of far-reaching consequences made in an era of great upheavals by the architects of a free nation forged in fire.  

The canvas of Freedom at Midnight, based principally on the 1975 book of the same name by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, is vast, although the main narrative spans only two years and stops with the uncertain future that a newly independent India stares at amid the Partition riots.

Freedom at Midnight has a cast of hundreds but it zeroes in on a handful of men, and a woman or two, who led the negotiations for the transfer of power, a slow and painful process that was inevitably fraught with much tension and to-ing and fro-ing.

Advani, whose 2003 directorial debut Kal Ho Naa Ho re-releases today, has traversed many a mile as a filmmaker and storyteller since then. His Rocket Boys imbues Freedom at Midnight with the gravitas that it demands. 

The artistic choices that the director makes are spot on. The actors at his disposal are perfectly attuned to the demands of the project. And the technical attributes of the show are all first-rate. Together, they not only ensure that the spotlight does not shift an inch from the solemn subject matter but also that the burden does not weigh down the endeavour. 
  
No matter what your political leanings are and how much of your knowledge of history is coloured by WhatsApp forwards, you will find it difficult to fault the points of emphasis and the lines of argument that Advani's interpretation of events employs because it is clearly based on extensive research and a book that got everything right, give or take a few stray departures.

If there is anything that is amiss in Freedom at Midnight, it is the fact that each of the key dramatic personae is put into an airtight ideological block that represents a specific line of thinking that is played off against the swirling forces of history for the purpose of generating drama and conflict. 

Gandhi is the sage, Nehru an idealist committed to the idea of a unified India, Patel a pragmatist who believes it is fine to amputate a hand to save the arm, and Jinnah an unbudging votary of a separate nation for Muslims. The show does not have much scope for these remarkable men to succumb to human inconsistencies.  
           
Freedom at Midnight isn't driven by A-list stars but by actors who painstakingly and confidently flesh out the aforementioned towering historical figures. Their task is onerous, and even though not all of them may bear exact resemblance to the leaders they play, they succeed in making us believe that they are indeed the men that they portray.
 
Sidhant Gupta, who broke out in the role of a budding filmmaker in Vikramaditya Motwane's Jubilee, adds another feather to his cap with his performance as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. 

The show presents India's first Prime Minister as a suave barrister who is perfectly at home in the rough and tumble of politics even as he struggles to wrap his head around the idea of cleaving the subcontinent into two. The fact that Gupta, a thirty-something actor, is consistently convincing as Nehru in his late 50s, is no less than a marvel.
 
Rajendra Chawla delivers on all fronts as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, projected as a hardnosed man of action who readily embraces the proposal of Partition because he wants to stop the seeds of religious hatred and distrust from spreading across the country.
        
Chirag Vohra is a bold choice for the character of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. It comes off because once the wall of disbelief is breached, he grows on the audience.
 
At the other end of the spectrum is Arif Zakaria as a tubercular Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Although the character is bereft of shades, the actor is never short of impressive. He is the least conflicted of the main players in Freedom at Midnight and yet Zakaria manages to impart to him significant angularities. 

When Jinnah's younger sister Fatima (Ira Dubey, one of the few women in the cast who isn't relegated to the sidelines) points out to him that regional identity is stronger than the religious one, he brushes it off without letting the argument go any further. He goes in just one direction and nowhere else and that robs the portrayal of nuance.
          
But that certainly isn't the bane of the series as a whole. Freedom at Midnight chooses sustained engagement over mere entertainment as it makes its way through the battlefield on which the clash between conflicting notions of nation and identity played out and presents a composite of resonant, eternally relevant notions.

No historical drama can be deemed successful unless it contains within its folds the lessons that are to be learnt from the watersheds that shape nations, communities and political formations. Freedom at Midnight does not fail to dwell upon the consequences of decisions taken under duress and in response to raging conflagrations.

Although the series depicts events that occurred over 75 years ago, it has many meaningful asides that constitute a commentary on the realities of the times that we live in. 

But even if one were to miss these piercing truths about shaking off the yoke of foreign rule, the pursuit of principles in the face of grave provocations and the dichotomy of power and duty, Freedom at Midnight has enough to keep the audience invested in the unfolding of the drama of a nation seeking to steady itself on dangerously slippery ground.

Not only is it competently crafted and acted, it also tells a story replete with known and unknown nuggets of information that are processed with skill and sensitivity. It has no grandstanding, and no hectoring and hollering of the sort that mainstream Bollywood is prone to. 

The show gives history its due, meticulously piecing together the fragments that went into the making of an essential and wondrous, if inevitably imperfect, whole.

More than five years later, he returned to the comedian's new show on Netflix, The Great Indian Kapil Show. In the yet-to-be-aired episode, the former cricketer turned politician had a blast, and even got to sit on his famous chair. Recently during an interview with The Grain Talk Show's YouTube channel, he was asked why he left the show. 

"There were political reasons I don't want to talk about. There were other reasons... and the bouquet fell apart," Navjot Singh Sidhu replied diplomatically. 

For the unversed, at the time of his exit, there were speculations that the channel had asked him to leave following his comments on the Pulwama terror attack. 

Showering praises on Kapil Sharma, Sidhu said, "The Kapil Sharma Show was a bouquet made by god. No one can take credit for it. It had different fragrances. When Kapil came to me, those days I had just come out of Bigg Boss, so we discussed and everything fell in place. Everyone was chosen to be a part of that show."

He even looked back at the time when Kapil was going through a rough patch and his fans wondered if his career was over. But Navjot Sidhu never lost faith in the comedian. "When Kapil was not well, he was jittery, he was going through a tough time, people told me he is over. I said 'guys, he's a 20. If you can even find someone who is a 10 and make him stand in front of Kapil, I will listen. But right now, even a 5 doesn't exist. You will have to replace him with something better. Otherwise you will keep missing him. You don't have a genius like him. Talent does what it can do, genius does what he must do," he said. 

Wishing for a reunion with the original cast, he said, "I have a wish that that bouquet must get together again, the way it was. I will be the first to facilitate. His show is still doing very well. Kapil is a genius." But the trip down memory lane didn't terminate here. He added, "There was dadi (Ali Asgar) and everyone. I wish everyone could get together... Everyone dispersed. Now Gutthi (Sunil Grover) is back. He met me in Goa. He is wonderful. He comes on for 10-15 minutes and regales everybody. He is another genius."

The upcoming episode, set to stream on November 16, will also feature his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and his wife, model-actress Geeta Basra.

Speaking candidly on the topic, Ali highlighted the pervasive issue and claimed that sometimes writers aren't even able to pay their rent with the money they get from working in films. The actor emphasised that he wants to change the norm by paying his writers well. “I tell you I will change the game. I want to create a machinery that can feed itself and not have writers sitting and waiting for pickings and still not being able to pay rent. It's really heartbreaking. It's a sore spot. I have been through that and it breaks my heart every time,” said Ali Fazal.

The actor mentioned the writers aren't given a share in films' profit as it is hogged by the industry bigwigs. “The amount of people who are involved, that one person will never smell any money of this. Tomorrow if we make a profit, none of them get anything. The big guys up the ladder, they take it. I want to change that. I think it's possible,” the actor-producer told film critic Sucharita Tyagi.

Ali Fazal and his wife Richa Chadha welcomed their first child, a baby girl, Zuneyra Ida Fazal on July 16. In a joint statement, the couple said, "We are tickled pink with joy to announce the arrival of a healthy baby girl on 16.07.24! Our families are overjoyed, and we thank our well-wishers for their love and blessings! Love, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal." Ali and Richa shared the first glimpse of their baby girl on Instagram and wrote, "Doing a collab post to announce the biggest collab of our lives!! We've been blessed indeed. Our baby girl continues to keep us very very busy. So, Thank you all for your love and blessings."

On the work front, Ali Fazal was last seen in Mirzapur 3. Next, he will be part of projects like Metro In Dino and Lahore 1947.

While the popular series is up for a revival, the veteran star has revealed that the “hunt is on” for a “new Shaktimaan”. He, at a press conference, has also refuted the rumours about making Ranveer Singh wait for three hours at his office. The Singham Again actor visited Mukesh Khanna to discuss the role of Shaktimaan. 

Mukesh Khanna said, “No. I didn't force him to wait. He sat for three hours because he wanted to. He came to my office. We enjoyed each other's company. He's a terrific actor, he has terrific energy. But I decide who plays Shaktimaan. Producers cast actors; an actor can't cast a producer. You come to my office and say that you want to be Shaktimaan, it's not allowed!” as per a report by India Today. 

In his long note on X (formerly Twitter), Mukesh Khanna clarified the misconception which spread after he announced Shaktimaan's Return. He also added, "I have not come to prove or show that I am better than Ranveer Singh or anyone who will wear the mantle of Shaktimaan. Become the next Shaktimaan.”

He wrote, “I have come to clarify a misconception which a section of my viewers are started having that through this song and press conference I had come to declare to the world that I will be the next Shaktimaan. Totally wrong. Let me explain.”

Mukesh Khanna added, “Firstly why should I say I will be the next Shaktimaan? I am already the Shaktimaan. There would be another Shaktimaan only when there is a Shaktimaan. And I am that Shaktimaan. Without me, there can not be other Shaktimaan. Since as Shaktimaan, I have to create the Legacy of Shaktimaan. Secondly, I have not come to prove or show that I am better than Ranveer Singh or anyone who will wear the mantle of Shaktimaan. Become the next Shaktimaan.”

Highlighting the reason why he came as the “older Shaktimaan” Mukesh Khanna said, “I came as older Shaktimaan to pass on a message to today's generation only because I felt older Shaktimaan will be in a better position to do that than the new one because the older Shaktimaan already has a readymade audience for the last 27 years. I came up with a patriotic quiz song as an older Shaktimaan because I can and everyone should clearly see that Darkness and Evil are prevailing over children of today. In Shaktimaan's language it can be said - ‘Andhera kaayam ho raha hai.' So the need of the hour is, this message should be urgently passed.”

Mukesh Khanna signed off his post by saying, “So rest assured new Shaktimaan will come. Who will he be? I can't say. Because I even don't know. Hunt is still on.”

Shaktimaan originally aired on Doordarshan in 1997 and it ran successfully for 450 episodes. Previously, reports were rife that Ranveer Singh would be playing Shaktimaan in a film spin-off. Mukesh Khanna shared his two cents on the matter. Read all about it here.

The party was hosted by director-producer Bharat Kukreti. Television actress Rashami Desai and other guests gave loud shout outs as the comedian mesmerized the guests with his swift change from one actor to the other. Bharat Kukreti shared the video on Instagram feed and it went viral no time. The caption read, "Madhouse of talent @kettansingh regaling everyone with this masterpiece!!"

Let's have a quick look at the comments section. Composer Salim Merchant dropped a string of laugh out loud emojis.  Cricketer Harbhajan Singh dropped a string of emojis.  Anup Soni commented, "Superb." A fan wrote, "How can any one laughs. I am just shocked. What a talent. Hats off."  Another comment read, "Amazing." Another comment read, "Ketan bhai aap kamaal ho." Another comment read, "Sooo good." An Instagram user wrote, "Super." Take a look:

Senorita, the cult song from Zoya Akhtar's directorial, has a different fanbase. Farhan Akhtar is not unfamiliar to singing but Abhay Deol and Hrithik Roshan were surprised when they were asked to sing for the film. Abhay, in an interview, recalled how composer Shankar Mahadevan assured him, "We can tweak it and make you sound wonderful." Hrithik, too, shared his experience at the studio, "I just came to hear the song, and they handed me the mic!" the superstar once said.

The music is composed and sung by debutant singer Taba Chake. Sharing the promo of the song on their social media handle, they wrote, "Between being lost and finding yourself again, that's where #GumHoKahan lies."

I Want to Talk is directed by Shoojit Sircar and stars Abhishek in the lead role. The story "explores complex emotional dynamics with Abhishek playing a pivotal character in the film grappling with deep emotional conflict. "

On Wednesday, the whole team of I Want to Talk attended the film's music launch, where they shared their experience working on the project. At the event, Abhishek opened up about the physical changes he went through for the film. "There's always a huge beeline outside his office because the experience of making a film with him is very transformative. Not just physically, from what you see." He pointed to the movie poster, where he appears with a big belly, and said, "I'm not in this shape anymore."

The actor shared that the belly in the poster was real, not a prosthetic, and revealed that he gained extra kilos for the film. "But it's been a learning experience. It's been life-changing. And I hope that we've managed to make a bit of a difference to your two, three hours that you spend in the cinema or watching the film. We've worked hard. It's a very sincere effort," he said.

Shoojit Sircar and Ronnie Lahiri have produced the project under Rising Sun Films. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on November 22, 2024.

]]> Sat, 16 Nov 2024 16:06:40 +0530 Editor Kanguva Review: Its Intent On Being The Tamil Baahubali And KGF Remains Untapped https://noidamirror.com/kanguva-review-its-intent-on-being-the-tamil-baahubali-and-kgf-remains-untapped https://noidamirror.com/kanguva-review-its-intent-on-being-the-tamil-baahubali-and-kgf-remains-untapped Its ambition is sky-high. Kanguva seeks to derive power from the elements (wind, water and fire), the ambitious merger of two timelines separated by a millennium, and the immense magnetism of lead actor Suriya. Nothing wrong with that of course, but the building blocks would have come together far more effectively had the writing and treatment been more organised and coherent.
 
The star of the show delivers everything that he is expected to but no matter how much the fantasy epic seeks to ride on a blend of the actor's charisma, the thrills generated by the exploits of warriors of a distant past and the sweeping visual grandeur that cinematographer Vetri Palanisamy rustles up, Kanguva barely stays afloat.

The first 30 minutes of the Tamil-language film written and directed by Siva is as brain-numbingly sloppy as any half-an-hour of cinema that we have ever seen. Be it the banal dialogue, the shrill pitching of the delivery, the perfunctory acting and the feeble stabs at humour, nothing is in order. 
   
This stretch adds up to a wayward and mercifully quick lowdown on three present-day bounty hunters who help the police nab slippery law-breakers. One of them ends up dead on a boat in Goa, sending Francis Theodore (Suriya) and his voluble, doltish sidekick Colt 95 (Yogi Babu) scurrying for cover. 

The shoddy prelude takes the film nowhere and tells us next to nothing about the characters who romp about on the screen and yell at each other at the top of their voices. The shrillest of them all is Angela (Disha Patani), Francis' girlfriend-turned-rival moneygrubber.
 
The only thing that emerges from the free-for-all is that Francis senses an unexplained connection with a runaway boy whose brain cells have been tampered with at a Russian biomedical laboratory before he escapes from the clutches of the evil scientists and their soldiers.

Colt 95 is meant to provide comic relief. Angela exists because the screenplay needs somebody who can inject meaningless romantic diversion into the proceedings. Neither of them serves the intended purpose. 

While the opening minutes set the tone for the rest the film, Kanguva shows marked improvement (at last with regard to imagery and intensity) once it plunges into the past - the year is 1070 AD and thereabouts - and follows the actions of the tribal inhabitants of five islands that are united by language but are violently at odds in terms of what each one of them represents.

The male protagonist here is Kanguva (Suriya), the prince and principal warrior of Perumaachi island. The Perumanathans are fire worshippers and their land is lust green. It is an island that is worth dying for. But death certainly isn't on the hero's mind. 

Waiting to pounce upon the islanders are 25,000 soldiers of a Roman army looking for a secluded zone for the training of their men. When all is about to be lost - these people seem to always hang by a thread as the Romans, traitors and enemies lying in wait on the island of Arathi, which is in the vice-like grip of Uthiran (Bobby Deol) - Konguva helps his people fight their way out of trouble.

Not that Kanguva needs any help from anybody. He is a force of nature, an unstoppable one-man army. And once he sets himself a goal, nobody and nothing can deflect him from his path. He likens himself to trees in a forest that aren't swayed by the winds and to streams that flow past the biggest rocks in their way.

It is not just what he says about himself and how a God-like voiceover introduces him to the audience ahead of his grand entry scene, it is also background songs that provide elucidation on his inner thoughts. But do not let that fool you, the music in Kanguva is anything but subtle. It is at best a distraction that the film would have done well to dial down.
  
The film's sound design definitely needed much more thought and work as did the characterisation. None of the people we see on the screen, including Kanguva, is accorded any wriggle-room to shape themselves into rounded figures.

Given the sheer vigour that Suriya brings to bear upon the titular hero, it is surprising that the scriptwriters did not deem it necessary to inform the protagonist with more than just the broad contours that he is boxed into. 

The film's biggest missed opportunity pertains to the facet of the intrepid warrior that reflects a 'maternal' nourisher when a desperate orphan boy cries out for help. The masculine in Kanguva is on the verge of giving way to an individual who not only protects (by killing a crocodile with his bare hands, when necessary) but also 'weans' a motherless boy. 

But that significant aspect of the story is allowed to disappear into a miasma of avoidable cliches. That is because Kanguva isn't looking to steer clear of the familiar. It is intent on being the Tamil Baahubali and KGF. And that is its undoing. The immense potential of the core idea of dealing with the past and present as a seamless continuum remains largely untapped.

Of course, a bulk of the film plays out in the past, which probably is just as well. The portions that are set in the present are a disappointingly patchy pastiche of science fiction, all-out action movie heroics and emotional tugs at the heartstrings.

The climax flits between the eleventh century and 2024. In both, the hero is engaged in a mission to defeat an adversary. Unfortunately, the bad guy in the past is a stodgy caricature rather than a truly menacing foe. 

Bobby Deol, in his Tamil debut, is called upon to fill up the screen during the limited time that he has on it. But there is so much happening around him that, like much else in the film, he is left jostling for space and attention.

All of the spotlight is on Suriya in a dual role. The hoary avatar that he dons works infinitely better than the contemporary one. That reflects the film as a whole: Kanguva is like two separate films, with the past weighing heavy on the present in more ways than one.

Kanguva is a visual treat enhanced by the star's tremendous screen presence. If only the script had more to it than just the sensory and the visceral, this would have been a film fully deserving of the sequel that is in the works. 

Kanguva drops more than a few hints of a follow-up. Should we be excited? "We are heading for a great future," somebody says in the final moments of the film. Are we? Not if the writing is in the same vein.

The makers of the reality show, hosted by Salman Khan, dropped a promo video on Instagram showcasing a challenging task given to the contestants. The person who wins the task gets to be the new “Time God”. The voice in the background says, “Sabhi gharwale freeze. Aaj ghar pe hone jaa raha hai ghar ka agla Time God banne ka karya. Aaj living area mei Bagga Tea Corner naam ki dukan khadi ki gayi hai. aur aaj yeh chor chai lutenge. Jis chor ke paas sabse zyada chai hogi, woh bann jayega iss ghar ka agla Time God. (Housemates, freeze. Today decides who will be the next Time God. A shop named Bagga Tea Corner has been established in the living area and today the thieves will steal tea from there. The thief who has the most tea will become the next Time God.)”

The clip shows the contestants collecting tea into the bag while others try to stop them. Rajat Dalal and Shilpa Shirodkar attempt to collect as many tea packets as they can. In one segment, Rajat climbs atop a tall structure so that no other contestants can pose a hindrance. He gets into an argument with the others who claim that Bigg Boss has asked the participants not to go to a corner during the task. Rajat defends himself stating that he is not in a corner but in an open space. 

As the video progresses things turn aggressive between Avinash Mishra and Digvijay Rathee. Both were seen using crude language and mocking each other. Soon, the sarcastic exchange of words turns physical with Digvijay pushing Avinash. Avinash imitated the violent gesture, leading to a physical altercation. At one point Avinash pushes Digvijay so hard that he falls down, leading to a commotion. All the house members rush towards Digvijay to see whether he is alright. 

This year the theme of Bigg Boss 18 is Time Ka Tandav. The TV reality show premieres on Colors TV daily and is available for streaming on JioCinema.

Reports were in circulation that Salman Khan's production house SKTV had been served a legal notice as well for its alleged association with the show. Dismissing speculation, Salman Khan's team has issued a statement denying any kind of involvement with Kapil Sharma's show. The statement read, "Certain sections of the media are reporting that Salman Khan / SKTV have also received the notice, which is incorrect as we are not associated with The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix."

The notice was issued by the Bongo Bhashi Mahasabha Foundation. It was sent on behalf of Dr Mondal and represented by legal advisor Nripendra Krishna Roy. The notice claims that The Great Indian Kapil Show disrespected Rabindranath Tagore's legacy and risks offending cultural and religious sentiments.

Kajol and Kriti Sanon appeared on an episode of the show to promote their film Do Patti. In that episode, Krushna Abhishek performed a parody by rephrasing the famous song Ekla Chalo Re as "Paachla Chalo Re (Go with five people)." Krushna said, "Akela nahi chalne ka. Ek din main akela chal raha tha aur paanch kutte mere piche padd gaye. Main jaanta hoon maine kaise apne aapko bachaya hai (Don't ever go alone. One day I was chased by five dogs when walking alone on the road. Only I knew how I saved my life)." This spoof didn't sit well with a large section of the Bengali community.

Kapil's show stars Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur and Archana Puran Singh. Season 2 is celebrating India and its rich culture with the superstars of the country. The format of The Great Indian Kapil Show is largely identical to that of Kapil Sharma's former shows The Kapil Sharma Show and Comedy Nights with Kapil. The Great Indian Kapil Show is streaming on Netflix.

Salman Khan is currently shooting for Sikandar, in which he will share screen space with Rashmika Mandanna.

This setback followed the shelving of a highly anticipated project with superstar Mohanlal. An old video of Balan talking about how she was labelled ‘jinxed' after her first film was shelved has resurfaced online. In the clip, she is heard saying, “In the South, for one and a half years, no matter what I did, it never seemed to materialize. I was labelled 'jinxed' after signing two major Malayalam films, both of which were halted midway, with 50% of the shooting already completed."

She added, “When I first did my feature film with Mohanlal in Malayalam, I received 7-8 film offers after my first schedule. The only problem was that the film got shelved after the first schedule. Not only did the film get shelved, but I was also replaced in all the other films. I was labelled jinxed after that. My confidence was deeply affected when I was replaced in all those films. I was even thrown out of a very big Tamil film at the time.”

Vidya made her film debut with the Bengali film Bhalo Theko in 2003. She ventured into Bollywood with Parineeta in 2005. The Pradeep Sarkar-directed musical romantic comedy earned the actress critical acclaim and shot her to instant fame.

The National Award-winning actress later appeared in commercially successful films such as Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, Kahaani, and the biopic The Dirty Picture.

Most recently, Vidya was seen in Anees Bazmee's horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, where she reprised her iconic role as the haunting dancer Manjulika. The film marked Vidya's much-anticipated return to the beloved franchise after her memorable performance in the original 2007 film.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the third installment in this popular franchise. In the latest movie, Kartik Aaryan reprised his role of Rooh Baba. He was joined by actors Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Mishra, Triptii Dimri, and Rajpal Yadav.

The horror-comedy was released on November 1.

The actor comes from a family of stars. FYI: He is the nephew of veteran actor Dharmendra. Superstars Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are his cousins. Recently, Abhay opened up about his journey in the industry. The actor also spoke about his experience of working with Anurag Kashyap in Dev D. The 2009 film also featured Kalki Koechlin, Mahie Gill, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Surekha Sikri. 

Speaking to Filmfare, Abhay Deol said, “That's why Dev D came to me; the idea was to call out his toxic masculinity and empower the women. That was the idea behind it. I stuck to the book where he (Devdas; in the Anurag directorial, the character's name is Devendra Singh Dhillon aka Dev) dies in the end; but instead of an alcohol or drug overdose, he starts dealing in drugs to support himself, the cops chase him, he doesn't know where to go, so he runs to Paro's house and gets shot outside her door.”

Abhay Deol added how Dev D made “drugs and alcohol” look cool. He added, “Eventually, the film kind of became cool and people saw that and wanted to do more drugs and alcohol. I was like, ‘That was not the point.' I have literally had friends say, ‘Please tell my nephew that ecstasy is not good for them'. I also had a friend who called me saying he had finished an entire bottle of vodka. That glamorisation was entirely away from what I had envisioned.”

During the same interview, Abhay Deol spoke about his equation with his parents and how he grew up in a “conservative joint family.” He said, “While growing up we were pretty conservative, we were a joint family with seven kids in the house. Films were something I was exposed to from childhood, through my uncle and father. They came from humble backgrounds, they came from a village, and for them the big city and world of glamour was alien. They want to hold on to their small-town values, which I can see in retrospect. Back then I didn't understand why we were held back from going to ‘filmy parties' as they call them, or mingling with the industry kids or the industry. They were trying to protect us, but back then I was confused.”

Abhay Deol has worked in films including Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Aisha and Chopsticks.

On Wednesday, the makers released a thrilling trailer that promises even more drama, action and suspense than before. The two-minute video picks up right where the first season left off, with the shocking abduction of Purva (played by Anchal Singh). Tahir Raj Bhasin, Shweta Tripathi and Anchal Singh reprise their roles, while Gurmeet Choudhary joins the cast as Purva's friend, Guru. The trailer begins with Purva's being kidnapped and driven to a mysterious location. Meanwhile, Vikrant (played by Tahir Raj Bhasin) grapples with the consequences of his toxic relationship with Purva. He believes that with her gone, he can finally be with his true love, Shikha (played by Shweta Tripathi). When the kidnapper demands a ₹100 crore ransom, Vikrant coldly declares, "Vo vaapis aa gayi to sab khatam. Usey marna hoga. [If she comes back, it is over. She has to be killed.]”

Guru is seen stepping up to fight for Purva, while Vikrant struggles with his conscience. He admits, "Maarne hum Purva ko nikle the. Par ab marna hamara tayy tha. [I set out to kill Purva, but now it is my turn to die]” The trailer ends with intense action scenes and Vikrant acknowledging that, despite planning everything against Purva, he is now lost and unsure of his next move.

The makers dropped the trailer on Instagram with the caption, “Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anchal Singh, Shweta Tripathi Sharma, and Gurmeet Choudhary return in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein! A tale of three hearts bound by fate—witness Vikrant, Purva, and Shikha's lives collide, with Guru's entry raising the stakes. Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein Season 2 arrives on 22 November, only on Netflix!”

The makers announced the news with a new poster on Wednesday. The poster features the lead characters Ritwik Bhowmik (Radhe) and Shreya Chaudhry (Tamanna) along with an ensemble cast. The caption read, "The epic musical drama is back." The second season of the show will stream from December 13. Sharing the news on his Instagram feed, Ritwik  Bhowmik wrote, "DRUMROLLSSSSSSSSSS. your favorite Bandish Bandits are tuning in for a new season. #BandishBanditsOnPrime, Dec 13." Take a look:

"The new season of this beloved musical drama continues its journey, artfully blending the intricate ragas, talas, and bandishes of Indian classical music with the bold, electrifying beats of modern rock and pop, as our leads - Radhe and Tamanna, now face off against each other in the quest for acceptance and glory," the streamer said in a press release.

"The narrative delves deeper into family legacy bringing in themes of individuality, empowerment, and the balance between old and new to the forefront, as each character discovers and embraces their true self," it added.

For the unversed, Bandish Bandits is a love story with high doses of classical and contemporary music. The series revolves around the apparent contradictions between the classic and the contemporary. The first season has been directed by Anand Tiwari. He has co-written the series alongside Atmika Didwania and Karan Singh Tyagi. The series boasts of an ensemble cast featuring  Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Sheeba Chaddha, Rajesh Tailang, Kunaal Roy Kapur.

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "Created by director Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra, Bandish Bandits is a love story, family drama and tradition-meets-modernity musical rolled into one. The visuals that Jodhpur yields - DOP Sriram Ganapathy does not go wrong - are sumptuous. They create a canvas that is markedly different from what OTT shows steeped in small-town milieus or gangland dimness usually produce."

Arjun also revealed he convinced his mother (Mona Kapoor) to give him money to buy tickets in black. Calling it an "Unforgettable experience", Arjun Kapoor told Pinkvilla, "I think, the one experience I remember is when Mohabbatein was released, and we couldn't get tickets outside Chandan Cinema; we bought them at the black market. There were ten of us, and it was also during the Diwali holidays.

On watching films in those days, Arjun Kapoor said, "I was in class 8 or 9. I was never good at studies. In those days, when exams get over, we used to make plans of watching movies together. It was a big deal back then. I remember, our exams got over on Thursday and Mohabbatein was released on Friday."  Mohabbatein, he said, was special. "Mohabbatein has also a lot of emotional value for me. The music, the introduction, everything about the film, I remember so clearly," he remarked.

Last week, Arjun Kapoor shared a series of posts praising his acting skills including memes capturing his transition from troll-bait to fan favourite.  A post featuring two pictures of Arjun Kapoor was captioned, "Trolled for being cast in the film" and "Admired for portrayal of Danger Lanka." In the caption, Arjun wrote, "Here's to turning non-believers into believers! Every question & doubt only fueled my determination to work harder and come back stronger. To everyone who cheered for me then and still does now - thank you. Your support means everything. To those who doubted me, thank you for pushing me to prove myself again!" Take a look:

Ahead of the release of his film Singham Again, Arjun Kapoor walked barefoot to Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai to seek blessings.

With the Beckham family shifting their bases to Miami, Ben has reportedly struck a new friendship with the couple which has upset Jennifer. "JLo has always really liked and admired Victoria, back when she was married to Marc Anthony they got very close. They used to hang out a lot. After she and Marc split, she and Victoria drifted apart, but she still considers her a friend," claimed some sources as per a report by In Touch Weekly.

Jennifer Lopez and the Beckham clan have a deep history together with JLo seeking comfort from them after her marriage to Marc Anthony ended in 2014. In fact, David and Victoria Beckham helped share concerns about Jennifer's daughter Emme after she parted ways with Marc, a source told Closer. Things changed when Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August. Reportedly, Ben being “suddenly all over” the Beckhams is “really upsetting” JLo. 

Ben Affleck has been maintaining his distance from Jennifer Lopez after their divorce with the source sharing that the Gone Girl star would “rather not” see his ex-wife unless it is inevitable. However, JLo still feels that Ben is trying to mess with her head. The On The Floor singer is “convinced” that Ben's sudden camaraderie with the Beckhams is intentional “He is only doing it to spite her because back when they were together, he never showed any interest in hanging out with them even though JLo swears she suggested it multiple times. Now all of a sudden, he is throwing himself around a lot of her old friends and just basically scavenging. She flat-out accused Ben of trying to steal her friends to get a rise out of her,” the source mentioned.

Another source revealed that although Jennifer Lopez “claims to be moving on from Ben, the truth is quite the opposite.” It said, “As much as she talks a good game about moving forward, the truth is she is still just as obsessed as ever.”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met on the sets of the film Gigil and started dating soon after. Although they called off their wedding in 2004, the duo rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in 2022. As per reports, trouble in their marriage cropped up earlier this year with the two finally deciding to separate.

In the pictures, Sonu Nigam can be seen sharing a warm hug with Bhushan Kumar. For those who need the background, here's the update.

Four years back, Sonu Nigam shared a vlog and made allegations about the "cruel" machinations of the music industry and targeted Bhushan Kumar, the son of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar who was shot dead in 1997. Sonu Nigam, in his video, had repeatedly requested the alleged "music mafias" to be kind and considerate towards new talent. "It's very difficult for the new kids, very difficult... I speak to every one of them. They are troubled that the producer wants to work with them, the director wants to work, even the music composer wants to work with them but the music company will say: 'This is not our artiste'," Sonu Nigam had said. Back then, Bhushan Kumar's wife Divya Khossla defended her husband and replied to Sonu Nigam's claims in a series of posts. Sonu Nigam and Bhushan Kumar seemingly buried the hatchet and moved on with the passage of time.

The actor recently announced his new project and also shared the first poster of his upcoming film Mahavatar. The actor will play the role of Chiranjeevi Parashurama in Amar Kaushik's directorial. The highly anticipated film, which will showcase the mythological warrior's story, is scheduled to release on Christmas 2026.

In the posters, the actor looks unrecognisable as he sports long hair and a rugged beard. In one of the posters, he is seen wearing a rust-coloured dhoti, adorned with Rudraksha beads on his wrists and arms, and holding a weapon - all symbols of the powerful Parashurama.

In his post, Vicky wrote, "Dinesh Vijan brings to life the story of the eternal warrior of dharma! Vicky Kaushal stars as Chiranjeevi Parashurama in #Mahavatar, directed by Amar Kaushik. Coming to cinemas - Christmas 2026!"

ICYDK, Parashurama, also known as Parashuram Avatar, was the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. In this incarnation, Vishnu took the form of a human to rid the Earth of the tyrant Chakravarti Samrat Karthaveerya Arjuna, whose ego and arrogance had corrupted him. Parashurama's mission was to restore dharma and his story is one of immense devotion, strength and resilience.

Parashurama was Chiranjeevi, meaning immortal. He was born as Ramabhadra in the Bhargava clan, headed by Bhrigu, one of the mind-born sons of Lord Brahma. His name, Parashurama, was earned after he acquired the mighty Parashu (axe) from Lord Shiva, which became his iconic weapon. With this weapon, he led the Devas to victory in a crucial war against the Asuras.

In addition to his role in the battle against the Asuras, Parashurama played a pivotal role in the Mahabharata. He is remembered as a teacher of warriors, instructing Bheeshma, Dronacharya and Karna in the art of warfare and weaponry. Parashurama also fought against Bheeshma to fulfill Amba's vow of revenge, though he was ultimately unsuccessful.

On the work front, Vicky Kaushal was last seen in Bad Newz alongside Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk. He will next be seen in Love & War, co-starring celeb couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.

Jo respect main de rahi hu, mai vo hi respect expect karti hu. [Do not speak to me in this tone, as I am consciously not speaking to you in this tone. The respect I am giving, I expect the same respect in return.]”

A visibly annoyed Shilpa Shirodkar replies with a “thank you” and folds her hands in front of Shrutika Arjun. Shrutika continues, “Jab aapke saamne bolti hu toh bahut udaas ho jaati hai, taane maarti hai. [When I speak in front of you, you get very disappointed and taunt me.]” Shilpa retorts, “Kisne taana maara? Aapne bola yeh influence hoti hai. Vo taana nahi tha? [Who taunted? You said she gets influenced. Was that not a taunt?]” Shrutika replies, “Aap choose karte ho kiske saath kaise baat karna hai. Mai aapko blame nahi kar rahi thi. Aapko samajhne me koi dikkat ho raha hai. [You choose how to talk to whom. I was not blaming you. You are having trouble understanding.]”

In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the actress' lawyer Sana Raees Khan explained that the Rs 50 crore figure is not arbitrary. It represents the wide-reaching impact these false allegations have had on Rupali's personal dignity, public image and career, which she has worked years to build.

She said, "The Rs 50 Crore amount specified in the defamation notice represents the serious damage caused to Ms Rupali Ganguly's personal and professional reputation due to baseless and defamatory statements made against her. This amount reflects not only the emotional and reputational harm but also the impact on her career, which she has dedicated years to building. Ms. Ganguly believes that such false allegations should have significant consequences and discourage similar actions in the future. The demand underscores our commitment to holding individuals accountable for malicious actions that can harm one's dignity and livelihood."

In the same interview with NDTV, Sana Raees Khan spoke about Esha's reaction to the legal notice. "She has not responded to the notice. She has deleted her Twitter account and removed all her defamatory posts. The deletion of defamatory posts following our notice reinforces the principle that false statements carry consequences and highlights the importance of safeguarding an individual's reputation from baseless attacks. Her stepdaughter has taken down the defamatory posts following our legal notice which we see as a meaningful step toward justice. This outcome reflects our victory for truth and accountability, reaffirming that reckless and harmful statements have no place in the public sphere. This definitely sets a strong precedent on the importance of responsible communication, especially when it concerns the reputation and dignity of others."

Sana Raees Khan revealed that the notice mentions that Rupali Ganguly endured mental trauma due to these statements, requiring medical treatment, and faced humiliation on set, which also led to the loss of professional opportunities. The notice explains that while the actress initially chose to remain silent out of dignity, she was forced to take legal action after she and her husband Ashwin Verma's 11-year-old son was dragged into the matter.

ICYDK, it all started after Esha Verma made serious allegations against her father Ashwin Verma and Rupali Ganguly. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the 26-year-old accused Rupali of physically assaulting her mother in Mumbai, stating, "Rupali physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai." Esha also accused Ashwin of being "a very abusive man physically and emotionally." She went on to say, "I was devastated, crying in high school because of the women who deliberately came into our lives, who broke my parent's marriage, who physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai in my grandparent's house. To see her win, that's the most devastating thing which I have gone through. I'm not pinpointing just Rupali here; I have also gathered the strength to say that it is my father's fault. He was also a very abusive man physically and emotionally so it's a two-party street."

Esha further claimed that when the news of her allegations first went viral, she was terrified and pressured by her father to delete her post. She also recounted an unsettling experience when Rupali travelled to their home in New Jersey and allegedly slept in the bed shared by Esha's parents. "It was Rupali who told my father to give my mother the divorce papers," Esha revealed. She expressed her disbelief over Ashwin's recent comments on social media, where he denied Rupali's involvement. Esha countered, saying, "I don't know what Rupali and Ashwin will say further about these allegations and comments. I know my father has said something on Twitter now X. He said that Rupali was not involved, and that is the biggest lie because Rupali was the one who came to my house in New Jersey and slept on my mother's bed-the bed that my father and mother shared. She has done so much, physically, mentally, verbally, and emotionally, abusing me and my mom. I feel like that was a lot of trauma I had to deal with and suffer with and my mom did too. We suffered a lot, and we don't have that exposure as she does."

Esha, now 26, is the daughter of Ashwin and Sapna Verma and currently resides in the United States. Ashwin and Sapna married in 1997 and separated in 2008. Ashwin married Rupali in 2013, and are parents to a son named Rudransh.

For the unversed, Vikrant Massey's character died in the first season of the show. Sharing his utter disappointment, Vikrant said, "I was a little disappointed when my character was killed because I had a different plan in my head. That was a massive learning for me, because post that, I make sure that I read the script till the last word or I don't sign the contract until I know what I am asked to do. There was a minor miscommunication. Because it's a longer format, the writing process is tedious and it goes on while you are shooting."

Sharing about the "miscommunication" Vikrant had with the production team, the actor said, "I signed on Mirzapur as I share a great rapport with the show's production house, Excel Entertainment. They were kind enough to cast me in Dil Dhadakne Do. I thought that Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani took a chance on me when nobody was. I verbally said yes and I signed the contract after reading the script for 6 episodes. Then when I read the script of the later episodes, I was like, 'Uh oh.' They told me, 'We thought you read them?' I said, 'When we signed I don't think I was given the last two episodes.' That was the miscommunication, and I should have been a little more careful."

Created by Puneet Krishna and directed by Gurmmeet Singh, Mirzapur has been transitioned into a film which is scheduled for a release in 2026 and it will mark the return of Munna Bhaiyya (played by Divyenndu) who gave the third season a miss. The series features the iconic characters of Mirzapur, Kaleen Bhaiya (played by Pankaj Tripathi), Guddu Pandit (played Ali Fazal) and Munna Tripathi (played by Divyenndu) along with Abhishek Banerjee who plays the role of the Compounder in the series along with other actors.

Announcing the news, Farhan Akhtar, who is a co-producer of the series, shared a post on his Instagram feed. It read, "Ab bhaukaal bhi bada hoga, aur parda bhi. #MirzapurTheFilm, coming soon." Take a look:

The film is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment.

The legal notice was filed in response to what the actress claims are "false and damaging statements" made by Esha. Rupali's legal team, led by lawyer Sana Raees Khan, has taken this step to safeguard her reputation. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Sana spoke about Esha's reaction to the legal notice. She said, "She has not responded to the notice. She has deleted her Twitter account and removed all her defamatory posts."

She added, "The deletion of defamatory posts following our notice reinforces the principle that false statements carry consequences and highlights the importance of safeguarding an individual's reputation from baseless attacks. Her stepdaughter has taken down the defamatory posts following our legal notice which we see as a meaningful step toward justice. This outcome reflects our victory for truth and accountability, reaffirming that reckless and harmful statements have no place in the public sphere. This definitely sets a strong precedent on the importance of responsible communication, especially when it concerns the reputation and dignity of others."

Sana Raees Khan revealed that the notice mentions that Rupali Ganguly endured mental trauma due to these statements, requiring medical treatment, and faced humiliation on set, which also led to the loss of professional opportunities. The notice explains that while the actress initially chose to remain silent out of dignity, she was forced to take legal action after she and her husband Ashwin Verma's 11-year-old son was dragged into the matter. She has also demanded an immediate, unconditional public apology.

ICYDK, It all started after Esha Verma made serious allegations against her father Ashwin Verma and Rupali Ganguly. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the 26-year-old accused Rupali of physically assaulting her mother in Mumbai, stating, "Rupali physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai." Esha also accused Ashwin of being "a very abusive man physically and emotionally." She went on to say, “I was devastated, crying in high school because of the women who deliberately came into our lives, who broke my parent's marriage, who physically hit my mother in person in Mumbai in my grandparent's house. To see her win, that's the most devastating thing which I have gone through. I'm not pinpointing just Rupali here; I have also gathered the strength to say that it is my father's fault. He was also a very abusive man physically and emotionally so it's a two-party street."

Esha further claimed that when the news of her allegations first went viral, she was terrified and pressured by her father to delete her post. She also recounted an unsettling experience when Rupali travelled to their home in New Jersey and allegedly slept in the bed shared by Esha's parents. "It was Rupali who told my father to give my mother the divorce papers," Esha revealed. She expressed her disbelief over Ashwin's recent comments on social media, where he denied Rupali's involvement. Esha countered, saying, "I don't know what Rupali and Ashwin will now say further to these allegations and comments. I know my father has said something on Twitter now X. He said that Rupali was not involved, and that is the biggest lie because Rupali was the one who came to my house in New Jersey and slept on my mother's bed—the bed that my father and mother shared. She has done so much, physically, mentally, verbally, and emotionally, abusing me and my mom. I feel like that was a lot of trauma I had to deal with and suffer with and my mom did too. We suffered a lot, and we don't have that exposure as she does.”

Esha, now 26, is the daughter of Ashwin and Sapna Verma and currently resides in the United States. Ashwin and Sapna married in 1997 and separated in 2008. Ashwin married Rupali in 2013, and are parents to a son named Rudransh.

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film is based on the Godhra train burning incident of February 2002, involving the Sabarmati Express. In a recent interview, Raashii opened up about how people questioned her decision to take on this project, especially since she has never publicly taken a political stance before. The actress said, “For Sabarmati (The Sabarmati Report), there were people who questioned, ‘You have never taken a political stance in anything till now. But, you are doing a film like this. Why did you do this? Are you sure of it?'”

In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Raashii Khanna added, “Yeh sab sawaal aye mere liye mere aas paas jitne bhi log the. Aur mere pas bhi jab yeh film ayi thi sabse pehle to mere bhi yahi sawaal the ki kya yeh sahi hai. Pehli baar mujhe sochna zada pda. [These were the questions that came to me from everyone around me. And when this film came to me for the first time, I had the same questions as well – whether this is right. For the first time, I had to think more.”

The actress also shared that a significant amount of research went into the making of the film, as it tackles a "sensitive topic." Raashii Khanna said, “ Lekin jab mai team se mili aur yeh humne bahut interview me pehle bhi bola hai ki hamare paas ek script aai aur research ussey bhi zada thi us script pe, kyuki yeh bahut sensitive topic hai aur yeh kahi pe bhi left ya right ja sakta hai aisa mujhe lga. Lekin jab hum shoot start kiye, I was very confident of the film. Aur mujhe nahi lagta hai ki log jis angle se dekh rahe hai, vo angle hai. [But when I met the team, and as we have said in many interviews before, we had a script that came to us, and the research behind it was even more than the script itself because this is a very sensitive topic, and it could go either way, I felt. But when we started shooting, I was confident about it. And I do not think that the angle people are looking at it from is the right one.]”

Raashii Khanna also highlighted that The Sabarmati Report serves as a tribute to all those who lost their lives during the Godhra train burning incident. She said, “I think it is a human angle, where 59 people lost their lives and we are only talking about them. It is a tribute to them, without taking any sides but the side of humanity.”

In her latest Instagram post, Raashii shared a BTS video from the sets of The Sabarmati Report. The caption read: "Kyuki khaana, gaana, hasna aur batiyaana jaroori hai" (Because eating, singing, laughing and talking is important). Take a look:

In another BTS video shared by Raashii, Vikrant can be seen helping her with her makeup. In the caption, she wrote, "Dost ho to Massey jaisa, nazar na lage" (A friend should be like Massey, Amen). Have a look:

Ahead of its release, the producers of the project are facing a copyright claim for ₹10 crore from actor-producer Dhanush. The reason for the claim is a 3-second clip from Nayanthara's film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was produced by Dhanush, that appears in the docuseries trailer. Seemingly upset by the legal action, Nayanthara responded by sharing an open letter addressed to Dhanush on her Instagram account.

An excerpt from Nayanthara's letter read, “After two long years of battling it out with you for an NOC (No Objection Certificate) and waiting for your approval for our Netflix documentary release, we finally decided to give up, re-edit and settle for the current version since you declined to permit the usage of Naanum Rowdy Dhaan songs or visual cuts, even the photographs to say the least despite multiple requests.”

Nayanthara also highlighted how this was “an all-time low” for Dhanush. The actress added, “What's even more shocking is your legal notice after the release of the trailer of the Netflix Documentary. We were startled to read those lines wherein you questioned the usage of some videos (just 3 seconds) which were shot in our personal devices and that too BTS visuals that are already very much publicly present on social media and claimed a sum of Rs.10 crores as damages for the mere 3 seconds. This is an all time low from you and speaks so much about your character. I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly you do not practice what you preach, at least not for me and my partner.”

“Does a Producer become an Emperor controlling the lives, freedom and liberty of all the persons in the set? Any deviation from the Emperor's dictum attracts legal ramifications?” Nayanthara asked.

Taking a jibe at Dhanush, Nayanthara added, “It's almost been 10 years since the release of the film and it is a long time for someone to continue to be this vile while wearing a mask in front of the world. I have not forgotten all the horrible things that you said about the film that was one of your biggest hits as a producer and a film that is loved by all even today. The words you said pre-release have left some unhealable scars to us already. I learnt through film circles that your ego was supremely hurt after the film became a blockbuster. Your displeasure over its success was perceptible even to common man through award functions connected with this film (Filmfare 2016).”

Nayanthara signed off by saying, “Om Namah Shivaya.”

While neither Ibrahim nor Palak has shared any picture with each other from the destination, their individual social media entries from the same location have made fans believe that they are holidaying together. In the carousel of photos posted by Palak, the actress is seen soaking in the beauty of the coastal paradise in beach-ready avatars. From relishing a scrumptious in-pool meal to going on a snorkeling adventure and just being goofy, Palak is having the time of her life. “Maldivian paradise” read her side note. Take a look”

In tonight's episode, host Salman Khan is set to confront Ashneer Grover, the co-founder and managing director of the Indian fintech company BharatPe. For context, Salman has been the brand ambassador for Ashneer's brand. During a public appearance, Ashneer mentioned the price he paid Salman, which the actor claims is an incorrect figure. In the preview released by the makers, Salman is seen welcoming Ashneer on the show. As Ashneer makes his entry, Salman asks, “Maine aapko mere baare me kehta huye suna hai kuch. Aapne kaha ki humne to isko itne me sign karliya, utne me sign kar liya. Sab figures bhi apne galat de diya. Toh phir doglapan kya? [I have heard you speaking about me. You said, ‘We signed him for this much, signed him for that much,' and all your figures were wrong. So then, what is with the double standards?]”

To this, Ashneer Grover replies, “Aapko jab humne brand ambassador liya, I think that was one of the smartest moves I made. [When we took you as a brand ambassador, I think that was one of the smartest moves I made.]” Salman Khan fires back, “Lekin jis hisaab se ab aap baat kar rahe hai, vo jo maine aapka video dekha hai. Yeh aapka attitude vaha par nahi tha. [But the way you are talking now, and the video I saw of you, this wasn't your attitude back then.]”

Ashneer Grover clarifies, "Maybe in the podcast, it did not come across correct." Taking a jibe at Ashneer's double standards, Salman says, “Lekin jaise yeh hai, yeh barabar aa raha hai yeh. [But as it is now, this seems just right.]”

For the unversed, during his visit to Lovely Professional University, Ashneer Grover recalled how he signed Salman Khan. He said, “Ab mai choti company tha. Mere ko overnight trust generate karna tha. To mere yeh lga ki mai Salman Khan ko brand ambassador leta hu. Ab Salman ki team ko approach kra, vo bol rahe hai saadhe saat crore rupaye lagenge. To mai calculation kar raha hu ₹100 crore pade hai – saade saath isko dunga, ek-do crore ki ad banegi, for chalani bhi to hai TV pe.  [I had a small company at the time. I needed to generate trust overnight. So, I thought of taking Salman Khan as the brand ambassador. Now, when I approached Salman's team, they said it would cost ₹7.5 crores. I started calculating – I have got ₹100 crores, ₹7.5 crores will go to him, then another ₹1-2 crores for making the ad, and I will still need to spend on running it on TV.]"

The entrepreneur continued, “To normally kya hota hai jitne ka aapne kharcha ad banane me kiya hota hai, usse do-teen guna to aap karte hi ho. To mere ko lga 20 crore ka panga hai aur 100 crore meri jebh me pade hai mai next round hoga ni hoga, mere ko nahi pta. But maine vo liya panga. And maandvali krlo na yarr, maine Salman Khan ko bola kam karde bhai, to vo saade chaar me maan gya. Ek time pe to uska manager mere ko bolne lag gya, ‘Sir aap bhindi khareedne aaye ho kya? Kitni maandvali karoge?' Maine bola, ‘Nahi sir, hai hi nahi paise. De hi nahi sakta.' [So, normally, whatever you spend on making an ad, you usually plan to spend two to three times more for running it. I figured it was a ₹20 crore gamble, and I had ₹100 crore in my pocket. I didn't know if there would be a next round of funding. But I took the risk. Then I thought, let's negotiate a bit. I asked Salman Khan to lower his fee, and he agreed to ₹4.5 crore. At one point, his manager even said to me, ‘Sir, are you here to buy vegetables? How much more will you bargain?' I replied, ‘No, sir, I genuinely don't have the money. I just can't pay more.']”

Coming back to Bigg Boss 18, the show airs on Colors TV.

While promoting the horror comedy film, the actress got candid during an exclusive interview with NDTV, giving viewers a glimpse of what went on behind the camera during the shoot. Looking back on the great time she had on the set, Madhuri opened up about the dynamic she shared with Vidya Balan, the OG Manjulika and Kartik Aaryan, who played Rooh Baba in the movie. And it sounds like a lot of fun!

On asked about collaborating with Vidya for such an iconic character, Madhuri said, "I have seen her on screen, I have seen her in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1, and I think she is the OG Manjulika, because of the way she played the character. It was fabulous," adding, "I had seen her perform, I admire as an actress. Toh unke saath jab kaam kar rahi thi toh bohot maza aaya (So when I was working with her, I had a lot of fun.)" 

After showering praise on her co-actor, Madhuri then opened up about the BTS events on the set. "She (Vidya) is very spontaneous on the set. She is like me in a lot of ways. Aur hum dono ki bohot achhi bani (We got along very well.) And of course, there was Kartik, who's a mischief maker. There's Vidya who's also a mischief maker," the new Manjulika remarked. 

After this revelation, one has to ask who's more mischievous among the two. "Kartik abhi chhota hai, toh hum thoda sa boss bhi karte the use," Madhuri replied, flashing her trademark smile. 

"But he is very sweet, very sweet," she concluded by mentioning that Kartik took all the bossing over in good humour. 

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, is the third installment of the franchise. This time, Vidya Balan reprised her role from the first movie as the 'ghost' Manjulika. The movie, also featuring Triptii Dimri and Rajpal Yadav in pivotal roles, released on November 1 on the occasion of Diwali.

Based on the Godhra train burning incident in February 2002, Vikrant plays a journalist in the film. But ever since the trailer dropped, it has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism, owing to its sensitive plot. The actor shared his views on The Sabarmati Report being called a "propaganda film" and how he doesn't believe in it. 

He started with, "Logon ka ye bhi kehna hai ki this is a propaganda film. Ye ek film hai jo current dispensation ko mollycoddle karne ke liye banayi jaa rahi hai (People are saying that this is a propaganda film, and it is being made to mollycoddle the current dispensation.)"

While that seems to be the general consensus, Vikrant has a completely different take on it. He shared that had the accusations been true, they could have released the film before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "Agar aisa hota toh 3 May ko jo hum release karna chah rahe the, hum tab aate. But elections the, May se leke June tak election the. Election Commission ka ek bohot hi strict mandate hota hai, ki koi bhi film ya koi bhi cheez jo aapko elections ke dauran khaas taur pe influence kare, wo cheez public domain mein nahi aa sakti, model code of conduct ke wajah se hum nahi aaye (Had that been the case, then we would have released the film on May 3, as we initially wanted. But because of the elections form May to June, the Election Commission has a strict mandate to not release a film or anything else in the public domain which might influence people. We followed the model code of conduct and we didn't release the film at the time,)" he further elaborated. 

Ranjan Chandel's The Sabarmati Report is slated to hit the theatres on 15 November. Besides Vikrant Massey, the cast of the film also includes Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra.

A person urged Kartik Aaryan to “steer clear of the disaster” saying, “Who owns the IP demands too much creative control and is still stuck in the 90s, Sony should also think about the project again and might as well try and create a new IP.”

Echoing a similar sentiment, another pointed out, “This would be career suicide for Kartik Aryan. Unless they reinvent the character. If they plan to stick to the old pattern it won't work.

DYK that Ranveer Singh wanted to play the titular role in Shaktimaan? Reportedly, the actor waited at Mukesh Khanna's office for three hours to discuss the matter. Refuting the rumours at a press conference, Mukesh Khanna revealed, “No. I didn't force him to wait. He sat for three hours because he wanted to. He came to my office. We enjoyed each other's company… I decide who plays Shaktimaan. Producers cast actors; an actor can't cast a producer. You come to my office and say that you want to be Shaktimaan, it's not allowed!” reported India Today.  

Shaktimaan aired on Doordarshan in 1997. The show ran successfully for 450 episodes.

The stake was sold to Adar Poonawalla (Serum Institute of India's CEO) for ₹1,000 crore last month. On Friday, KJo and Adar Poonawalla sat down for a chat with producer Siddharth Roy Kapur. During the discussion, Karan humorously remarked that he might rename the company to “Pharma Productions” or “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Serum.” Karan also called this partnership “a great marriage of two minds.” The filmmaker said, “I felt it was the best decision for us because it was coming together of somebody like-minded people, and also someone who possibly would allow me my creative vision and yet contribute so strongly to the growth by giving me his terrific business insight. So, I thought it was a great marriage of two minds.”

During an appearance on CNBC-TV18 Global Leadership Summit, Karan Johar added, “It (the partnership) really was not a big decision for us because when it came to partnering with Adar, it was just easy. It was like both Apoorva (Mehta, CEO of Dharma Productions) and I, who have built the company together, both (of us) knew that he was the best possible partnership for Dharma Productions and for where we want to take it.”

Karan Johar also talked about the journey of Dharma Productions. He said, “I have to say that, contrary to what people might know of or feel of Dharma productions, actually, it is a rather nascent company when it comes to multiple productions and building it in a studio model. We actually began our journey with multiple productions that we started with – Wake Up  Sid, I Hate Love Stories and a film called Kurbaan. I signed my first deal with Ronnie Screwvala. So, the Parsi community has been very kind to me. Subsequently, we built Dharma Productions right up to 2023. Our journey of producing multiple films and content has been 15 years old. Prior to that, it was just films that I directed that my father (Yash Johar) had curated over the years, which were very few films. And there came a point of time where I felt that for our own growth, we needed the investment.”

Mentioning how Dharma Productions needed a partner for profitability, Karam Johar added, “We needed to kind of not partner with everyone and increase our profitability and therein came the decision to sell stake and build in a partnership with somebody. At that point, we did all the due diligence. We did all the work, and the idea was to kind of create further verticals at Dharma Productions. Besides, we have Dharmatic (Entertainment.). We have an ad division, we have Dharma 2.0.”

“But the whole idea to build our own distribution network, perhaps or maybe double in the music arena and many other verticals, is something that I dreamt of. But, I needed the partnership for that. And in many ways when Adar has been a family friend for many years spoke to me, and we decided to come together on this,” Karan Johar concluded.

Karan Johar last produced Jigra. The film, directed by Vasan Bala, featured Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in key roles.

When asked about Vidya's infectious smile, Madhuri said, “She is very infectious, even as a person. Pehle din se hi jab humne set pe ek saath kaam kiya to aise laga ki mai bahut vakt se Vidya ke saath kaam kar rahi hu. [From the very first day when we worked together on set, it felt like I had been working with Vidya for a long time.]”

Calling Vidya Balan the “OG Manjulika”, Madhuri Dixit added, “I have seen her on screen. I have seen her in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 1 and I think she is the OG Manjulika because the way she played the character was fabulous.” Talking about the iconic track Ami Je Tomar, Madhuri mentioned, “And of course, the song, jo amar hai aaj tak, I had seen part 1, part 2. I had seen her perform. I admire her as an actress. Toh unke saath jab kaam kar rahi thi to bahut mazaa aya. [So, when I was working with her, I had a lot of fun.] Because she is very spontaneous on the set. She is like me in a lot of ways. Aur hum dono ki bahut achhi bani. [We all had a good time.] And of course, there is Kartik (Aaryan) who is a mischief maker and there is Vidya, who is also a mischief maker. Toh hum logo ne bahut masti ki. [We had a lot of fun.]

Madhuri Dixit playfully recalled how everyone used to boss Kartik Aaryan around on the set of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. She said, “Kartik abhi chota hai. Toh hum thoda sa boss bhi karte the usey. He is very sweet. Triptii Dimri - she is also very sweet. Unke saath bhi kaam tha. Pura hamara jo mahol vaha pe bana tha, it was like a family. All the artists, we were all together on the sets. We used to joke around, masti karte the. Kisi ko rag kar lete the, bahut masti kri humne set pe. It was like a family coming together. [Kartik is very young, so we used to boss him around a bit. He is very sweet. Triptii Dimri – she is also very sweet. I also worked with her. The whole atmosphere on the set was like a family. All the artists, we were all together. We used to joke around, have fun and mess with each other. We had a lot of fun on set. It was like a family coming together.]”

Describing director Anees Bazmee as the “leader” of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Madhuri Dixit concluded, “Our leader is Anees bhai. Toh vo to khud hi itne ache insaan hai. Toh sabke saath mil jate the. [So, he himself is such a good person. He would get along with everyone.] He created such a nice atmosphere for all of us.”

Released on November 1, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 locked horns with Singham Again at the box office. The horror-comedy also features Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz and Sanjay Mishra in important roles.

The actor will be playing the role of a man who is told that he has just 100 days to live. The movie will delve deep into the themes of mortality, reflection and closure. In a recent interview, Abhishek shared his thoughts on the journey of his character. He shared that the premise of the film made him reflect on what a person might experience when confronted with such a diagnosis. “When a doctor tells you that you have 100 days to live, it's going to take a few days to process. Once it's processed, the real question becomes: What do I do with the time I have left? What do I not want to do? What do I want to put closure to?,” said the actor. 

“It sounds cool that you're making a film about someone who has 100 days to live, but when you actually sit and think, it's an amazing frame of mind to be in,” Abhishek Bachchan told news agency IANS. 

Earlier this month, the makers released the trailer of I Want To Talk. In the trailer, a man is shown being informed by his doctor about a life-changing surgery. While wearing a neck brace, he must cope with his internal tensions and mental suffering despite the efforts of his daughter, friends, and family. He seeks redemption for the individuals he has harmed in his life as he realises he is running out of time. 

A while back, director Shoojit Sircar talked about working with Abhishek Bachchan on I Want To Talk. “It's a very simple observation of life with a little smile. When I watch the film, its post-production, it brings a smile. And, I can guarantee that it is one of the finest of Abhishek Bachchan films. We always wanted to work together but we were not getting the right kind of script," Shoojit told PTI. 

I Want To Talk also features Johnny Lever, Banita Sandhu, Jayant Kriplani and Ahilya Bamroo in pivotal roles. The film is scheduled to release on November 22.

In the film, which is based on the Godhra train burning incident of February 2002, Vikrant plays the role of a journalist, Samar Kumar. The actor sat down for a conversation with NDTV, where he discussed how Hindi journalism does not receive as much recognition as English journalism. Vikrant Massey said, “It is pure classism and kahi na kahi unfortunately aaj bhi sach hai ki angrezi ko leke, aur humne patrakarita ke madhyam se yeh kehne ki koshish ki hai, but it is a far larger conversation. It is not just about journalism. Maine jo cheez 12th Fail me bhi kahi thi ki language is just a medium. Aap yogya hai ya nahi hai, vo aap ki bhaasha ki vajah se aap yeh tayeh nahi kar sakte.  [This is pure classism, and unfortunately, it is still true even today. We are trying to express this through journalism, but it is a much larger conversation. It is not just about journalism. What I said in 12th Fail is that language is just a medium. Whether you are capable or not, you cannot decide that based on your language skills.]”

Vikrant Massey continued, “Kahi na kahi aaj hamare desh me itni sari bhashayen hone ke baad, itne cultures, itne subcultures hone ke baad, itni local languages, regional languages hone ke bawjud, kahi na kahi, ek hamara elitist mindset hai ki jo angrezi bolta hai, vo hi yogya hai, ya knowledgeable hai. Agar usko seedhi baat me kahe ki jo angrezi kehta hai vo buddhimaan hai.  [Somewhere, even after having so many languages, cultures, subcultures and regional languages in our country, there exists an elitist mindset. We tend to believe that the person who speaks English is the one who is capable or knowledgeable. If we say it in simple terms, there is a belief that whoever speaks English is considered wise.]”

Calling the situation “ridiculous”, Vikrant Massey added, “Aaj jitni bhi knowledge mujhe hai patrakarita ki aur agar hum (The) Sabarmati Report ki baat karein jo 2002 ka vakt tha, vaha pe bhi ek English news channel tha, do-teen naye channels they. Tabhi social media nahi tha. Ek yeh elitist mindset tha ki jo angrezi wale keh rahe hai, vahi sach hai. Delhi se, abhi to Noida ho gya hai, lekin tab Delhi se outsource hoti thi cheeze. Aur aaj bhi agar aap dekhe Noida se hi outsource ho rahi hai. Jo chote-chote ziley hai, chotey-chotey kasbe hai, vaha pe bade-bade news channel outsource karte hai local channels ko – data collection ke liye, ground reporting ke liye. Bahut mehnat karte hai vo. Bahut hi laborious job hai. [The knowledge I have today in journalism, and if we talk about The Sabarmati Report, which was from the time of 2002, there was an English news channel back then, along with two or three new channels. At that time, social media did not exist. There was this elitist mindset that whatever the English media said, that was the truth. Back then, things were outsourced from Delhi, and now, they're outsourced from Noida. Even today, if you look, outsourcing is still happening from Noida. Smaller districts and towns outsource work to bigger news channels for data collection and ground reporting. They work extremely hard and it is a very laborious job.]”

The actor also spoke about how, even in the country's most esteemed examination, the UPSC, more than 80 percent of the candidates who get selected are from English medium. Vikrant Massey said, “Aaj bhi agar hum UPSC ki baat karein – adhiktar bache jo hai, I am talking about more than 80 percent, English medium walo ka hi selection hota hai. Bahut kam Hindi medium wale jo hai unka selection hota hai. Jab ki unko kaam galiyon me, kasbon me, un kshetron me karna hai, jahan pe log yeh bhasha bolte hi nahi hai. [Even today, if we talk about the UPSC exams, more than 80% of the students who get selected are from English-medium backgrounds. Very few Hindi-medium students get selected. Yet, their work is in the streets, towns and regions where people do not even speak that language.]”

The actor added, “Vo grassroot level pe jaake kaam karte hai. To central government ke aapke jo examination hai vo aap aisi bhaasha me kar rahe hai jo aadhe se zaada desh bolta hi nahi hai. To in cheezo ke baare me charcha honi chahiye kyuki cinema has always been reflective of the times that we live in. Cinema and society go hand in hand, yeh bahut purani kahaavat hai. [They work at the grassroots level. So, the central government's examinations are conducted in a language that more than half of the country does not even speak. These are the things that need to be discussed because cinema has always been a reflection of the times we live in. Cinema and society go hand in hand – this is a very old saying.]”

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, The Sabarmati Report also features Raashii Khanna, Riddhi Dogra, Nazneen Patni, Hella Stichlmair and Aryan Ardent. The project has been bankrolled by Ektaa Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures, Vikir Films Production and Vipin Agnihotri Films.

Both of them will now be subjected to depositions that may reveal additional personal information about their relationship, continuing the long-running rivalry characterised by accusations and denials from the ex-couple. According to the court documents, a judge in the Los Angeles Superior Court rejected Angelina Jolie's efforts to have the case dismissed this month, allowing it to proceed. The trial date, however, will be conducted in 2026. "Eventually Angie and Brad will have to sit with depositions, there's now no way out as they move towards trial," said a source as per a report by Page Six.

Judge Lia Martin of Los Angeles County Superior Court denied three demurrers submitted by Angelina Jolie's legal team in connection with Brad Pitt's claims in court that his ex-wife broke a verbal and written agreement not to sell their shares in Miraval without both parties' consent, according to court documents filed on Friday, (November 8) and obtained by People. "This is a clear victory for Brad which demonstrates the legitimacy of his claims and demonstrates yet again the other side's talk is not backed up with substance," claimed a source close to the media outlet.  

Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016. Ever since the Hollywood exes have been embroiled in legal turmoils over the vineyard they purchased in 2008. In 2022, Brad Pitt first filed a lawsuit against Angelina Jolie for selling her share of Chateau Miraval to Tenute del Mondo, the Stoli Group's wine branch. 

Previously, Angelina Jolie claimed that Brad Pitt wanted her to sign a burdensome non-disclosure agreement that would conceal his alleged poor behaviour in the past, and he tried to have her turn over all of her previous NDAs, which is why she did not sell the vineyard to him. 

According to Brad Pitt's attorneys, the lawsuit is a “straightforward business dispute (and) the other side has consistently introduced personal elements which have exposed the weaknesses in their case and complicated and lengthened the proceedings.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married in 2014. They have six children — Pax, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne.

In the preview for the upcoming episode, actress Chahat Pandey and YouTuber Rajat Dalal are seen locked in a heated exchange. It begins with Chahat saying, “Pyaar se baat karoge, double pyaar milega. Nafrat doge, bhains ki p**nch. [If you speak with love, you will receive double the love. If you hate, I will not care.]” Rajat fires back, “Tumhare karmon ka phul mila hai. [You are just getting the fruits of your actions.]”

Irritated, Chahat Pandey responds, “Bakwas kyu kar rahe ho, Rajat yarr. [Why are you talking nonsense, Rajat?]” Taking a jab at Rajat Dalal's controversial past, Chahat adds, “Tumhare bhi bure karm hi hongey, jab tum Twitter pe trend kar rahe the. [You must have done bad deeds too, for you to be trending on Twitter.]”

Visibly annoyed, Rajat Dalal says, “Tere ko ek cheez batau, jitna tera dimag hai na. [Let me tell you something –your mind is as much as...] Before he could finish, Chahat Pandey interjects, “Tera-mera karke baat karo mat. [Do not use this kind of language with me.]” Rajat snaps back, “Aise hi hogi. Ab tere bas ki jo ho vo karti reh. [It will be like this. Just keep doing what little you are capable of.]”

A fan page shared the video of this spat on Instagram. Take a look:

A few days ago, Rajat Dalal had a verbal showdown with Vivian Dsena. It started with Rajat accusing Vivian of sleeping at odd hours. The YouTuber said, “So raha tha na tu? Chauda hoke bol raha tha na? [You were sleeping, right? You were saying it proudly no?]" Vivian answered, “Tune dekha sote hue? [Did you see me sleeping?]"

Rajat Dalal continued, “Tum bolte ho na mera lehza, meri tehzeeb yahi hai. Tereko jo lagta hai woh laga. Tereko jo mehsoos hota hai woh mehsoos kar. [You keep on pointing out my tone and my manners. You can think whatever you want. You can feel whatever you want to feel.]” Click here to read more about this argument.

Rajan shared a picture with the actress, accompanied by a long, heartfelt caption where he showered praises on the actress for her humility and dedication to her craft. This comes after the actress filed a defamation case of Rs 50 crore against her step-daughter Esha.

The caption read, "Rupali, you inspire all of us each day, every moment at DKP/Shahi Productions for your hard work, dedication, talent, honesty, integrity, and humility. Anupamaa, you have created "history," a benchmark and landmark very few can reach or create. Thoo thoo thoo!

From Deepa Shahi Rajan and Ishika Shahi, And the entire "Team" Anupamaa. Thoo thoo thoo."

For the unversed, Rupali's legal notice to Esha was sent by her lawyer Sana Raes Khan. The notice, an answer to the several claims made by her, mentioned that the actress suffered from mental trauma, leading her to seek medical assistance after she defamed the actress on public platforms. It also mentions that Rupali had to face humiliation on set and lost out on professional opportunities because of the ongoing dispute. 

Apart from claiming Rs 50 crore compensation, the actress has also demanded a public apology immediately.

After his power-packed performance in 12th Fail, the actor has now slipped into the shoes of a journalist in The Sabarmati Report. Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, the movie has hit the screens today (November 15). The story revolves around the infamous Sabarmati Express train incident where an angry mob set ablaze the S6 coach in 2002. Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra are also a part of the film. Before you head to the theatres to watch The Sabarmati Report, check out these 10 films and shows based on real-life incidents. 

IC814: The Kandahar Hijack — Netflix

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film is based on the 1999 hijacking of an Indian aircraft by Pakistani militants. Vijay Varma essayed the role of the pilot — Captain Sharan Dev in the limited series. The powerful storyline laced with a whirlwind of emotions, makes the series a must-watch. 

The Railway Men — Netflix

When the news of the Bhopal gas tragedy spread like wildfire in 1984, the entire nation mourned the loss of hundreds. The Railway Men showcases the courageous story of three ordinary railway workers who risked it all to save the lives of others. You wouldn't be able to take your eyes off Kay Kay Menon, Babil Khan and Divyenndu Sharma. 

Sector 36 — Netflix

Vikrant Massey, Deepak Dobriyal, and Akash Khurana steal the show in the Aditya Nimbalkar-directed film Sector 36. The movie was inspired by the brutal Nithari Killings — a series of murders that occurred in Noida in 2006. 

No One Killed Jessica — Prime Video

When the son of an influential person kills Jessica (Myra Karn), her sister Sabrina Lall (Vidya Balan) joins forces with investigative journalist Meera Gaity (Rani Mukerji) to seek justice. With a grim storyline and stellar performances by the lead cast, the film should be on your bucket list. 

Talvar — Disney Hotstar

The 2008 double murder case in Noida involving a teenage girl and her family's servant formed the crux of this Meghna Gulzar film. Talvar focuses on the case's investigation from three different perspectives: the police inquiry, the first Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, and an investigation by a CBI team.

Raazi — Prime Video

Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal's Raazi had us hooked to the screens from the beginning. Alia as Sehmat, an undercover RAW agent was simply spectacular. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the movie can give you goosebumps and make you cry a pool of tears: especially at the climax. The movie is based on the 2008 novel Calling Sehmat by Harinder Sikka, which is a true account of an Indian spy. 
 

Neerja — Apple TV

Perhaps one of the best performances by Sonam Kapoor, Neerja tells the tale of a brave and fearless air hostess Neerja Bhanot who gave up her life to protect the passengers during the hijacking of the Pan Am Flight 73 in 1986. This emotional movie is a complete tear-jerker so make sure to watch it with tissues. 

Uri: The Surgical Strike — Zee5

The movie portrays real-life incidents of India's response to the Uri attack in 2016. Vicky Kaushal as Major Vihaan Singh Shergill of the Indian Army was simply phenomenal. Yami Gautam, Paresh Rawal and Mohit Raina played key roles in the movie. 

Airlift — JioCinema

Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur lead this gripping action war film. When Iraq invades Kuwait, an Indian businessman Ranjit Katiyal swears to protect his family as well as the stranded countrymen. His story of bravery is what makes the film so unique. 

Black Friday — Disney Hotstar

Anurag Kashyap once again spelled brilliance with his directorial prowess in this 2004 action thriller. Black Friday centres around the relentless efforts of the police force to catch the perpetrators of the gruesome 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. Anurag Kashyap and Kay Kay Menon were also a part of the project.

Back in September, the makers of Vettaiyan dropped a poster featuring Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan on X (formerly Twitter). It captured the two biggest superstars exuding grim expressions and posing for the lens. Rajinikanth displayed unmatched swag, dressed in a police uniform. Big B, on the other hand, wore a suit.

Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth's friendship dates a long time back. They have previously shared screen space in films like Hum, Geraftaar and Andhaa Kaanoon. Vettaiyan marks their collaboration after 33 years.

In May, Amitabh Bachchan treated his fans to a heartwarming picture with Rajinikanth from the sets of Vettaiyan. The snap showcased their strong camaraderie. The duo were seen twinning in black suits and sharing a warm hug. Both Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan flashed million-dollar smiles. Along with the post, Big B wrote, “Am honoured and privileged to be with the Thala the Great Rajni again .. he hasn't changed at all .. the same simple humble down earth friend despite his stratospheric greatness.

Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly also arrived at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Pandal. Her companion? Zero points for guessing — her son, Rudransh. A video making rounds on the internet shows the mother-son duo playing Sindur Khela. In a fun twist, Rupali did not use her hands; instead, she painted her son's face by rubbing her cheeks against his. “Mother-son goals,” did you just say?

4. Kajol 

Kajol was seen in a jovial mood as she hosted the Pandal with her family. She was spotted wearing a white and red saree, and her traditional look is surely setting fashion goals for the festive season. Agree?

A few days ago, Kajol and Jaya Bachchan met at the Pandal. The gracious hostess warmly hugged the veteran star, and Jaya Bachchan gave Kajol a kiss on her cheek. Not to mention, the video quickly went viral. Click here to watch the clip.

The delightful blend of their banter and charisma brought laughter back to the show as the Kapoor sisters shared the spotlight. On Tuesday, Karisma shared a behind the scenes video from the set of Netflix's show. Taking to her Instagram handle, the ‘Dil To Pagal Hai' actress dropped a video with the caption, “Behind the scenes of a super fun day on the sets of @thegreatindiankapilshow @netflix_in @kapilsharma @kareenakapoorkhan @team.kapilsharma.” In the clip, Karisma is seen striking stylish poses while giving a glimpse of the set. She also posed with Kareena and host Kapil Sharma.

From this BTS video, it's clear that both Kapoor sisters had a fantastic time on the show. Notably, for the first time ever, the Kapoor sisters shared the small screen, and it was truly worth the wait! Infusing the comedy reality show with a touch of nostalgia, they were refreshingly candid, chatty, and delightfully unfiltered. During their appearance on the show, Kareena and Karisma made many startling revelations.

Recalling the moment the ‘Jab We Met' actress first opened up about her relationship with Saif Ali Khan, Karisma shared that it occurred while she was in London and felt almost earth-shattering. “Kareena actually asked me to sit down before revealing what she had to say. I didn't quite understand why, but I found a sofa in the store where I was shopping. Then she said, ‘The thing is, I'm in love with Saif. We are together. We are dating,' and I felt like I needed to cling to the sofa for support,” Karisma recounted exhaling in disbelief at the revelation about her sister. ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 2' also features Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Rajiv Thakur and Archana Puran Singh. It airs a new episode every Saturday on Netflix.

The musician died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After the news went public, Liam's ex-girlfriend Maya Henry issued a statement reacting to his death. Her representative told the Daily Mail that she is “obviously in shock".  Maya had recently come forward with claims of abuse in her past relationship with Liam Payne. She allegedly sent him a cease-and-desist letter a few days before his death. Her legal team claimed that "new and concerning information" was the reason behind the action. 

In a video shared on Tiktok earlier this month, Maya said that Liam has been showing signs of obsessive behaviour ever since they broke up. She claimed that Liam would contact her family and even make new iCloud accounts to reach her. She said, “Ever since we broke up, he messages me, will blow up my phone, not only from his phone number, it's always from different phone numbers too, so I never know where it's gonna come from.” 

She added, “He'll create new iCloud accounts to iMessage me — it's always a damn new iCloud account. Every time I see one pop up on my phone I'm like, ‘Here we f—ing go again.' Also, [he] will email me … not only me, but he'll blow up my mom's phone. Is that normal behaviour to you?”

Maya had also accused Liam Payne of exploiting One Direction fans, pointing to his constant sponsored Snapchat postings. The model further said in a TikTok comment section that he spoke poorly of his bandmates behind their backs, while publicly supporting them and going to their concerts. 

Maya Henry and Liam Payne started dating in 2018 after Liam's breakup with Cheryl Cole. The couple got engaged in 2020 but split up in 2022 after Maya accused Liam of cheating.

At the time of Liam Payne's death, the musician was reportedly dating US model and content creator Kate Cassidy.

Dhawan, who is leading the India chapter of a global spy series Citadel with Citadel: Honey Bunny opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu, revealed the story during the trailer launch of the Prime Video show.

“During lockdown, I met Aditya Chopra, he was playing badminton, and Maneesh Sharma was there. They were making ‘Tiger' (3) at that time. I asked him, 'Why don't you make an action film with a younger talent?'. He was like, 'I want to give you acting roles, and don't want to give you action (roles)'. I kept pursuing it,” Dhawan said.

“He (Chopra) was like, 'I can't do that because I can't give you that budget right now. You're not at that place where I can give you such a big budget'. I kept thinking and then I messaged him and asked him, ‘What is the budget?' And he gave me a figure, that this is the budget you need to make something big in action.” Dhawan said when Honey Bunny came his way, the first question he asked creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK of The Family Man and Farzi fame, and Amazon Prime Video was about its budget.

"...Because I got this knowledge from Aditya Chopra that you need this much budget to make something look good in action. I'm grateful to Amazon and Raj & DK for giving us this platform because that is needed to make something look big, to make actors look larger than life.” Dhawan, who is set to star in Atlee-produced Baby John, said he is grateful to South filmmakers for giving him the opportunity to explore the action genre and hoped that Bollywood also takes note.

“I had a great time (doing action). It is a wake-up call, and hopefully, a lot of people take notice of this. Right now, I feel only South Indians are taking notice of me and giving me great opportunities in action, which is true. I started working with Raj & DK, and Sam, and next, I'm working with Atlee and Keerthy (Suresh, actress). Hopefully, that will lead the way for other people in our industry to give me (action roles),” he said.

Citadel: Honey Bunny, set in the 90s, is billed as a riveting narrative that fuses a love story with action beats.

The Hindi series, also starring Kay Kay Menon, Saqib Saleem, and Sikander Kher, will premiere on November 7 on Prime Video.

The movie, which debuted in theatres on October 11, has been witnessing a steady dip in box office numbers since its release. Jigra minted ₹ 1.25 crore on its first Wednesday, reported Sacnilk. The film recorded a 9.50% overall Hindi occupancy. So far, the crime fiction drama has collected a total of ₹21.10 crore. Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra narrated the story of a brother-sister duo, played by Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina. Alia portrays Satya, a devoted sister who is on a rescue mission to save her brother Ankur from a foreign jail after he gets framed for a crime he didn't commit. 

In a previous interview, Alia Bhatt talked about his Jigra co-star. The actress said that Vedang Raina reminded her "a lot of Ranveer Singh, with whom she worked in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Gully Boy. "Vedang is fabulous. He is amazing. I don't think he knows how amazing he is. I told him when we did a very important scene, where he was crying, that one good thing is that you cry prettily and it's a good thing for a Hindi film hero. He is so hardworking. He is also very instinctive but also has some sort of prep. He reminded me a lot of Ranveer Singh and I told him this as well,” Alia said in a chat with Karan Johar and Jr NTR. 

The actress added, “Just the way he is and his dedication. I think it is a huge compliment. The dedication and focus to the moment and the shot. Of course, he is his own person. He sings so beautifully. Vasan [Bala] and I would discuss this all the time that he is actually an old soul. I mean I would think I am an old soul but quite on the contrary, Vedang who is younger than me, is like 60! His soul is very deep-rooted and centred. He has a lot of depth in him, which I think will take him really far.” 

Jigra also features Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and Manoj Pahwa in pivotal roles. The film is jointly produced by Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt under their banners Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions. Jigra marks Alia's second production venture after the 2022 film Darlings. The film clashed with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video at the box office.

The much-awaited trailer of Raj-DK's Citadel Honey Bunny was released today and it made good on a promise the makers made earlier. The trailer introduces the protagonists stuntman Bunny (Varun Dhawan) and struggling actress Honey (Samantha). Needless to say, the trailer is an action-packed ride where guns and bullets are fired from every direction. Honey and Bunny had a past. When they reunite, they fight to protect their young daughter Nadia. Interestingly, Priyanka Chopra, who headlined the UK version of Citadel was named Nadia in the series. The trailer ends with a crisp line by Nadia, "Everyone is dying or getting killed. I am still a kid, you know." Raj and DK infused the trailer with a good dose of humour and punch lines. Take a look:

At the teaser launch event, Varun Dhawan talked about Samantha's determination and grit as she had to undergo tough times in terms of her illness during the shoot. "Honestly, my preparation was very easy compared to Samantha's. It's public knowledge what she was battling when she joined the show. I thought my rehearsals were tough, but then I saw her incredible work ethic despite her struggles, and it truly inspired me. We became partners in making things happen." FYI, Samantha Ruth Prabhu revealed in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Myositis.

Citadel: Honey Bunny also stars Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, Kashvi Majmundar, Saquib Saleem, Sikandar Kher. Here's all you need to know about Citadel, it is a multi-series with productions from India, Italy and Mexico.

While both the films were released on October 11 the Raaj Shaandilyaa-directed project managed to edge out Jigra by a slight margin. Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video minted ₹1.85 crore on its first Wednesday, reported Sacnilk. The film witnessed an overall Hindi occupancy of 9.7% on October 16. With this, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's total collection now stands at ₹25.15 crore. Apart from Rajkummar and Triptii, the film's cast also includes Vijay Raaz, Mallika Sherawat, Mast Ali, Archana Puran Singh, Mukesh Tiwari, Archana Patel, Rakesh Bedi, Tiku Talsania and Ashwini Kalsekar in supporting roles. 

Before Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video was even released, director Raaj Shaandilyaa had shared that he would be making the sequel of the movie. "Where this film ends, we've got a sequel, which will be set 10-15 years later, when the advent of the Internet has happened. We've written the story. We will shoot this film after I make another film," Raaj told news agency PTI. 

The filmmaker added that he wanted to work with Rajkummar Rao for a long time but it never worked out until Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. He said, “Things happen, whenever they are destined to happen. The reason why I wanted to cast Rajkummar was because I needed a middle-class boy from a small-town city. I felt he perfectly fit the bill in terms of his body language and style."

Talking about Triptii Dimri, he added, "For the role of Vidya, we needed someone who had not worked with Rajkummar. He had worked with Shraddha Kapoor in Stree, with Janhvi Kapoor in Roohi and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi. We needed a fresh pair and that's when we thought of Triptii. She is a good actor. We had signed her before the release of Animal.” 

Set in the 1990s, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video narrates the story of a married couple, who get in trouble after a tape of their intimate video gets stolen. Things take a turn when a mysterious person asks them for ransom in return for the tape. Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is produced by T-Series Films, Balaji Motion Pictures, Wakaoo Films and Kathavachak Films.

From commercial box-office hits to more serious roles, the man has effortlessly morphed into a wide range of characters. Recently during a Pinkvilla interview, the actor opened up about the commercial side of the job. He admitted that early in his career, he had once done a film just for the remuneration. "Yes I have (laughs). I did it in the beginning," he said. 

Elaborating on why he chose to do so, he said, "I won't say for which film. But in the beginning, I was in a phase where I didn't have enough money and I had to do it. I didn't think I had another option barring that. I couldn't wait any longer for the films. I wasn't getting the options, so of course. So, I once did a film for the money. I hate to say this but I have done that."

During the course of the interview, he also explained why an actor's fee for a movie is so high. "Everything has a calculation. It's a business module. If things are sitting in the calculation, then it's correct. If your satellite, digital and music rights are already giving benefit to the producers, and if your mathematics is sitting correctly; if the audience is coming for you, then it makes sense," he clarified. 

Kartik Aaryan's upcoming movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 releases in theatres this Diwali. The horror comedy film, which is the third instrument of the franchise, is directed by Aneez Bazmee. On Tuesday, Kartik Aaryan dropped a teaser of the title track on Instagram, which is a collaboration between Diljit Dosanjh, American rapper Pitbull and the original singer Neeraj Shridhar.

To this, Naomi asked if it scares his children.

“Yeah. There is a lot of scary stuff on Hollywood Boulevard in October and they are frightened by it and I am a little bit frightened by it and even when I see the clips where people just kind of smile it is something about the smiles,” said Jimmy.

Naomi Scott then went on to teach Jimmy the tips and tricks of the “creepy smile.” “It is a very specific thing actually. Parker Finn is a director who is very specific about smiles,” she said. The actress then gave directions to the host, “Give me a smile. A really big smile. I am going to teach you. So there are three things. Massive smile, tilt your head down a little bit and wide eyes. Yes.”

The popular musician died after falling three floors from a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Alberto Crescenti, head of the state emergency medical system, said that Liam Payne fell into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel. The case is still under police investigation. Liam Payne is survived by his son Bear who he shared with singer Cheryl Cole.

Here are five points on the former One Direction member:

1. Liam Payne was born on August 29, 1993, in Wolverhampton, England. In 2008, Liam auditioned for The X Factor but was eliminated. He returned two years later and passed the audition with the rendition of the classic song Cry Me A River. Instead of following the solo route as a musician, the makers of the show put him in a band with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik and named them One Direction. While the band finished third on the show, they were immediately signed to Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment.

2. One Direction debuted with the pop classic What Makes You Beautiful in 2011. The single's success was followed by their debut album, Up All Night, which released in March 2012. After that, the group embarked on their first-ever world tour. Over the next four years, One Direction released four more albums. Liam wrote the lyrics to half of the band's last two albums songs, including History, Steal My Girl, and Story Of My Life.

3. One Direction went on a hiatus in 2016. Post band's breakup, Liam Payne embarked on his solo music journey in 2017 and released the song Strip That Down featuring US rapper Quavo. The song peaked at number three in the UK and received two Brit Award nominations. He released his first EP First Time in 2018 and then his full album LP1 in 2019. 

4. Liam Payne started dating singer Cheryl Cole in 2016. They welcomed their son Bear in 2017 but split up the next year. Later, Liam got engaged to model Maya Henry in 2020, but they called it off in June 2021. In 2022, he got together with US influencer Kate Cassidy. 

5. Liam Payne experienced some health issues in recent years. In 2023, he was hospitalised twice, allegedly for kidney issues. His solo career also had trouble keeping up as his second solo album and a documentary about his life were reportedly shelved.  His March comeback single Teardrops failed to make it to the top of the charts.

At Do Patti's trailer launch on Monday, writer Kanika Dhillon threw light on the casting process that Kriti Sanon implemented before zeroing in on television actor Shaheer Sheikh as the male lead. Dhillon revealed that Kriti Sanon auditioned with 10 different actors before confirming the final name. "Kriti was like, 'For the last ten rounds, I wanted to audition with ten people.' And those last 10 people left, Kriti herself went and auditioned with each of those 10 candidates, did that scene over and over."

Recalling how the auditions went, Dhillon said, "Half of them were nervous because Kriti herself was auditioning them!"

Responding to Kanika Dhillon's revelation, Kriti explained why it was necessary to go through the rigorous audition process. "To be honest, I think it was so important to find the current Dhruv. You know, because again, the character has so many layers. And the chemistry has to work in a certain way. So, I was glad that we did the audition," she said.

Further adding to that, Kriti also shared the reason for choosing Shaheer Sheikh. "I think while I was doing the audition only with him, I felt in my head when we were seeing that the chemistry was working, also the shades of group that he has. I think he was pulling it off so well," she said.

Produced by Kriti Sanon's Blue Butterfly Films in association with Kanika Dhillon's Kathha Pictures, Do Patti is slated to stream on October 25. Set in a hill station, the murder mystery features Kajol as a cop, Kriti Sanon in a double role as twin sisters, and Tanvi Azmi in an important role.

After a decent weekend collection, the film witnessed a dip in box office numbers from Monday. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the romantic comedy minted ₹2.15 crore at the ticket window on its first Tuesday. So far, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has amassed ₹23.35 crore. The movie had an overall Hindi occupancy of 11.07% on October 15, the report mentioned. Apart from the lead cast, Mallika Sherawat, Archana Patel, Vijay Raaz, Mukesh Tiwari, Tiku Talsania, Archana Puran Singh, Rakesh Bedi, Ashwini Kalsekar and Mast Ali are also part of the Raaj Shaandilyaa-directed project.

Back in September, the makers of Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video unveiled the song Mere Mehboob from the film, showcasing Triptii Dimri's dance moves to the groovy lyrics. A certain segment of the audience criticised her performance. Addressing the issue, Triptii revealed that it was not possible for her to be “good at everything”. She said, “One can't be good at everything. But what's wrong with trying? You have to give it your best; you're here now. I didn't realise (while shooting). It was my first dance number, I haven't really done one like this before. And I didn't think that it would get the kind of response that it's getting. But it's fine; it happens to everybody. There are things that people like, there are things that people don't like. But that doesn't mean that you stop experimenting,” in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India. 

Set in the 1990s, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video tells the tale of a married couple, Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Triptii Dimri), who are troubled over a missing CD containing their intimate moments. Things get worse when a mysterious person gets hold of the CD and asks them to give a ransom. 

Triptti Dimri was last seen in Bad Newz, alongside Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk. Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao won hearts with his performance in Stree 2.

It all started with an Instagram post, in which Divya accused Alia of manipulating box office numbers of her latest release. Soon after, Karan shared a cryptic post on his Instagram story which read, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools.” While the director did not mention any names, the post seemed like a direct response to Divya's allegations. In her latest interview, the actress slammed Karan for using “derogatory language” against her. "Today, when I speak up, Mr Karan Johar uses derogatory language to shut me down. Is it right to call a woman a fool for pointing out unethical practices? If this happens to me, what about those new to the industry?" Divya told Hindustan Times. 

She added, “No one is a king here, and I won't be treated like a subject. There are many more derogatory words which were used in their PR articles and called my taking a stand a PR stunt. I'm sorry, I don't need one. I'm already well known." 

Divya Khossla took a jab against Alia Bhatt as well and claimed that the Highway actress didn't need to rely on “fake ticket bookings”. She said, “Alia doesn't need to resort to such tactics; she's already well-established. But true heroism is in speaking against wrongdoing. Let the audience decide based on merit, not money and power.”

Expressing her concern about corporate bookings and misrepresented box office figures, Divya Khossla added, “After Covid, smaller production houses have shut down, and only those with money survive. I saw an empty theatre, yet Jigra's opening figures were inflated. That needs serious correction."

The tension between the two parties can be credited to the similarities between Divya Khossla's film Savi and Alia Bhatt's Jigra. Divya claims that “Jigra is a copy” of her film Savi. She added that “both films share the same storyline”, but her project “was in production first”. Jigra hit the theatres on October 11, while Savi was released in May 2024.

 The actor also spoke about his experience as an outsider working with "connected" stars. "Yaar koi hota yaar, aage pichhe log hote toh bahut kuch theek ho jaata. Par apni hi fight hai. (I wish there were people around me, then a lot of things would have fallen in place. But this is my own fight)," he remarked. At the same time, he had nothing but good words for star kids Janhvi, Shraddha and Sonam. They never had any airs or made him feel uncomfortable on sets, the actor said.

The third instalment of the much-loved Bhool Bhulaiyya franchise is highly anticipated by fans, with the trailer getting record hits. But on the same day as its release, another big-budget movie, Singham 3, is hitting the screens. Kartik Aaryan recently shared his take on this box office clash during a promotional event for his film. "It's not a versus between the two films; they are part of significant franchises, and I have great admiration for everyone involved. Ye jo versus chalu hua hai, ye bahut galat hai (This versus debate that has started, it's wrong)," he said.

The actor asserted that he didn't see any competition between the two films. "Films are not frequently releasing, and we read about this daily. Now, during Diwali, we have two films coming out that audiences have eagerly awaited for a long time. I appreciate their film, and I will be watching it too. I hope you all support our film as well. Both films have a strong chance of succeeding, I don't see it as a competition," he said. 

In the festival season, there's space for both films to pull in the crowds, he remarked. "Diwali is such a significant holiday that I believe two films can easily coexist in theaters. While Singham Again falls under the action genre, our film is a horror-comedy. As a moviegoer, I see it as a festival for all of us, with two options on the same day, which is rare in our industry these days," he said.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, also features Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri and Rajpal Yadav, among others. Singham Again, too, has a strong buzz around it and features Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan,  Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Tiger Shroff.

The latest episode featured a nomination challenge that stirred the house. The show's captain, or "Time God," Arfeen Khan, was given the power to nominate two contestants for elimination. He chose Tajinder Singh Bagga and Muskan Bamne. Following this, Bigg Boss introduced a train task where contestants had to offer snacks to their housemates in order to board the train. Arfeen Khan oversaw the task, and those who failed to get snack packets were nominated for elimination. By the end of the task, a total of 10 contestants were up for elimination in week 2.

In addition to Tajinder Singh Bagga and Muskan Bamne, Rajat Dalal, Avinash Mishra, Chahat Pandey, Shrutika Arjun, Karan Veer Mehra, Shilpa Shirodkar, Hema Sharma and Alice Kaushik are also nominated for this week.

The makers also announced the names of nominated contestants by sharing a post on Instagram. They shared a carousel post, which features pictures of all nominated participants.

In Monday's episode, Arfeen Khan was announced as the captain of the house. Bigg Boss called all the contestants to the activity area for a task. They were asked to name one contestant they thought was unfit to handle the house's responsibilities. Nyrraa Banerji voted against Rajat Dalal, saying he was “incapable.” Shrutika Arjun chose Alice Kaushik because Alice mocked her accent. In the end, no one had anything negative to say about Arfeen Khan, earning him the title of "Time God" for the week. As captain, Arfeen now has the power to change the time for all the contestants.

Released on October 10, the cop drama crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in just four days. Vettaiyan continues to do well in the cinemas and collected Rs 4.25 crore on Tuesday, according to Sacnilk. The film had an overall 18.34% Tamil occupancy on the second Tuesday. Directed by T. J. Gnanavel, the man behind hit films like Jai Bhim, Vettaiyan takes a hard look at police encounters and the privatisation of education in India. Produced by Lyca Productions, Vettaiyan features Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan and Ritika Singh in key roles.

The presence of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan together on screen makes Vettaiyan a delightful prospect for film buffs. Both the icons of Indian cinema have earlier worked together in films such as Andha Kanoon, Geraftaar and Hum. Rajinikanth has often talked about his fondness for Big B and referred to him as an inspiration. Amitabh Bachchan couldn't attend the audio launch event for Vettaiyan, but he did send a touching video message.  In the voice message, he recalled an incident from the sets of their film Hum, and talked about Rajinikanth's humble nature. Amitabh Bachchan said, “I used to rest in my AC vehicle while shooting for Hum, and Rajini slept on the floor during breaks. Watching him be so simple, I came out of the vehicle and rested outside”. 

Vettaiyan is Amitabh Bachchan's debut in Tamil films and he expressed his  gratitude to work with the “supreme of all stars,” Rajinikanth. Big B added, “Vettaiyan is my first Tamil film. I'm very honoured. Rajinikanth is the supreme of all stars.” 

At the film's audio launch event, Rajinikanth also talked about his friendship with Big B. He recalled when Amitabh Bachchan was going through a financial crisis and approached Yash Chopra asking for work. That's how we got the legendary Narayan Shankar  of Mohabbatein. Rajinikanth said, “One day, he walked to Yash Chopra's house wearing a monkey cap because he no longer had a driver, as he couldn't pay them. He asked Yash [Chopra] for work. Yash immediately brought a signed cheque and gave it to him, but Amitji declined, saying he would take it only if he was given work. And thus, he received Mohabbatein. Soon, he also got KBC.”

A 23-year old contestant from Amritsar sang Atif Aslam's Pehli Nazar Mein and Arijit Singh's Tum Kya Mile at the audition. Stopping the contestant midway, Vishal said, "Aap original singers ke inflections aapke gaane mein daal rahe hain, first with Arijit (Arijit Singh), then with Atif (Atif Aslam) (You are putting inflections of many singers in your song, from Arijit to Atif). You're singing well, par aap apna nahi gaa rahe ho (You are not being yourself while singing). Ye 'Indian Idol' hai na, yahaan se idol nikaltein hai; yahaan aap nakal kar ke aage nahi badoge (This is 'Indian Idol' where Idols are born. You can't get ahead here by imitating someone)". Vishal admitted that he liked the contestant's singing but his attempt to imitate others blemished his performance.

Vishal told the participant, "I really like your voice but I don't like the imitating situation. Aap seekho zarur, yeh bahut bade kalakaar hain aur bahut acche kalakaar hai; but jis din aap unki nakal karne lag jaoge, unki style apna loge toh aap hotel, restaurant mein gaate reh jaoge. To be an artist, you have to find your own space. (You learn from them because these are really big artists, but the day you start copying them, you will only find a place to sing in hotels and restaurants)." The promo was shared by Sony Entertainment on its Instagram handle. Take a look:

Indian Idol is returning with a new season on Sony TV. This time, Badshah, Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Dadlani will be seen on the judges panel. Singer Aditya Narayan will once again take up the role of a host.

On Day 5 (October 15), the Vasan Bala-directed film collected ₹1.60 crore at the ticket window, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. With this, the total box office collection of the movie stands at ₹19.85 crore. On its first Tuesday, Jigra had an overall 10.68% Hindi occupancy rate, the report added. Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Alia Bhatt's Eternal Sunshine Productions, the action-adventure also features Ankur Khanna, Manoj Pahwa, Akansha Ranjan, Rahul Ravindran, Vivek Gomber and Harssh  Singh in key roles. 

A day before Jigra's release on October 9, the makers organised a special screening in Mumbai. Alia Bhatt and her sister Shaheen attended the event, alongside Vedang Raina and his rumoured girlfriend, actress Khushi Kapoor. Alia's mother-in-law and veteran star Neetu Kapoor also turned up at the screening  to support her. Karan Johar was present as well. Other celebrities who marked their presence at the event were Radhika Madan, Rashmika Mandanna and Abhimanyu Dasani. Read all about it here: 

Vedang Raina, who plays the role of Alia Bhatt's sister in Jigra, sang a version of the Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka song for the film. Did you know that he was inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's lip-sync skills? Vedang added that he did take some cues from him.  

Vedang Raina said, “Ranbir ki jo lip-syncing hain...I've always been his biggest fan, and he does it brilliantly. I've always wanted to see the BTS (behind-the-scenes) of Rockstar to see if he could actually sing. I thought he must be a singer, kuch nahi (nothing)...it was negative. His real-life singing is really bad. It goes to show how good he is (at acting). I tried to recreate his lip-sync. Obviously, in the film, it was an exaggerated version, but I wanted to try matching his pitch,” in an interview with Lallantop. 

Jigra locked horns with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video on October 11.

To ensure that, we shot two climaxes, and even the production members don't know which ending I'm going to use."

Even the cast of the movie has no idea about the climax and they have only watched the movie till the pre-climax, he explained. "Only myself and three other team members know the actual ending. We shot two climaxes, and the team wasn't even aware of why. Initially, we shot the final climax, but later I called the team again and said, 'Mazza nahi aa raha hai, firse karenge' (It's not fun, let's do it again). The team thought it was necessary, but in reality, it was just to keep the ending a secret from them," he said. 

To keep up the mystery on the sets, the actors were not even given the last 15 pages of the script. Anees Bazmee is expecting a positive reaction from audience to the climax. "People will be shocked, they'll be like 'oh my god!'," he said. 

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the third film in the horror-comedy franchise, and along with the old cast, there are some new faces too. Kartik Aaryan will reprise his role as Rooh Baba and we will see Vidya Balan come back as the OG Manjulika. Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri will also be seen in this installment. 

Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to hit the theatres on Diwali on November 1, 2024.

During a candid conversation on the reality show, the actor opened up about how he first met his wife, Egyptian journalist Nouran Aly. While speaking with fellow participant Shilpa Shirodkar, Vivian revealed that their relationship began professionally when Nouran reached out to him for an interview. He explained, “Our start was professional. I made her wait for four months because she wanted to interview me. She's still taking revenge for that!” as quoted by Money Control.

Vivian Dsena mentioned that Nouran Aly had contacted his team, but because of his hectic schedule, it took months for him to respond. When Shilpa inquired if Nouran had travelled to Mumbai for the interview, Vivian clarified that it was conducted online. He said, “She messaged me after waiting for a long time, saying I was unprofessional and egoistic. I replied, ‘Dear Miss Nouran, I don't know who you're talking about, but the person described is certainly not me.'” After this initial exchange, the interview was scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, and they immediately hit it off.

Vivian Dsena further shared that their first in-person meeting occurred when he was invited to Egypt for an event. He also mentioned that his divorce from his ex-wife, model Vahbbiz Dorabjee had been finalised during the lockdown, which signalled a fresh start in his life. Vivian and Vahbiz reportedly got married in 2013. They separated in 2016 and got legally divorced in 2021.

When asked about how long he's been married to Nouran Aly, Vivian Dsena responded, “I don't count. Enough years for her to understand and tolerate me. Tolerating is important in a relationship, and life teaches you that. My changes in attitude and behaviour didn't happen overnight. All in all, I would say, ‘Ladki solid hai boss,' and I feel worthy to have her in my life.” Vivian and Nouran got married in 2022. The couple are proud parents to a daughter Layan Vivian Dsena.

The couple got married in 2012 and have two children, Taimur and Jeh. But back when Saif and Kareena met and started dating, Kareena's older sister Karisma Kapoor had a surprising reaction to it. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor were recently on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show together. Karisma spoke about Kareena revealing her relationship with Saif on a call. "It took me a second to process all of this. Saif was my buddy, and my co-star, right?" she said.

Karisma also revealed how Kareena first disclosed the news to her. "Kareena actually asked me to sit down somewhere before she could say what she wanted to say. I didn't understand the need, but I did find a sofa in the London store where I was shopping. She went like, 'The thing is that, I'm in love with Saif. We are together. We are dating,' and I wanted to hold on more tightly to the sofa," she said.

Kapil then asked Kareena who professed their love first. "Knowing me, I would have confessed first. It was important that I told him directly what I felt about us. It was important," said Kareena. She also added an iconic Jab We Met reference while talking about Saif. "Everyone knows I'm my own favourite. So before telling anyone else, I had to tell him first," Kareena added.  

On the work front, Kareena Kapoor will be next seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Returns. Besides Kareena, the film also features Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor.

Colleagues and friends from the Marathi film industry gathered to pay their final respects at the actor's last rites on Tuesday.

Talking to ANI, Vijay Patkar said Atul Parchure was an actor who had no limitations. "He could play any role. We were together in the All the Best film. We were together in many Marathi films. And we were friends for many years. Such a friend has passed away today. They say it's a loss. It's really a big loss. Because such an actor cannot return. Atul, wherever you are, be happy."

Director Kedar Shinde also shared his feelings on the loss of his friend. He said, "We are not fortunate enough to work with good artists. We are very saddened by this. Atul and I have been working together since we started our careers in this industry. We did several films, serials and theatre together. When one of the versatile artists leaves, there is a lot of pain. But I feel that we take care of our lives. We should try to keep our health and nature healthy. This is very important. I request all artists to look after their health because our industry does not allow us to do that. It changes our lifestyle. So we should be careful about that. We will not find such a person and such a friend again."

A while ago, actor Shreyas Talpade also expressed grief. "He was a very big actor. He has inspired almost all of us. He has inspired everyone in our generation. We grew up watching his work. So today, this is a big loss for all of us. It is extremely unfortunate."

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray was among those in attendance.

Actor Arjun Kapoor also took to social media to express his condolences. "I never had a chance to work with him, but he always seemed to be such a likeable person no matter what role he played," Kapoor wrote, adding, "He was taken by cancer despite fighting the disease for many years. May his soul rest in peace."

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also voiced his grief, emphasizing the loss of the immense talent.

"The untimely death of Atul Parchure is painful. Sometimes making the audience laugh requires immense talent," Shinde noted in a post on X.

He praised Parchure's multifaceted contributions to drama, film, and television, stating, "He left his mark in all three fields of drama, film, and serials."

Shinde mentioned Parchure's notable works, including Tarun Turk Mhatare Arkand Natigoti, emphasizing how deeply he resonated with audiences through his performances.

Parchure's filmography spans numerous beloved films, such as Navra Mazha Navsacha, Salaam-E-Ishq, Partner, All the Best: Fun Begins, Khatta Meetha, Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap, and Brave Heart.

He was also well-known for his comedic appearances on The Kapil Sharma Show, which further endeared him to fans across India.

According to reports, Stree, the ghost from Maddock's horror universe, has an appearance in Vicky Vidya..., featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. The film hit the screens on Friday.

In a statement shared on X, Raj Shaandilyaa said the makers will remove "all infringing content" related to the popular horror comedy, also starring Rajkummar Rao, by October 15.

"We deeply regret any harm caused to Maddock Films and their franchise as a result of this infringement. We are taking immediate steps to rectify the issue and are in the process of removing all infringing content from our film wherein we have used character and dialogue from Maddock Films 'Stree' at the earliest," he wrote on Saturday.

The filmmaker tendered the apology on behalf of Vicky Vidya... producers Super Cassettes Ind. Pvt. Ltd., Balaji Motion Pictures and Wakaoo Films.

Maddock Films said they have received a formal public apology from Shaandilyaa and other makers for "wrongfully using elements from their 'Stree' franchise without permission".

No such unauthorised usage will occur in the future, said Shaandilyaa.

"We further confirm that our film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is in no way associated with Maddock Films, their Stree and Stree 2 franchises, or any of the characters therein. Additionally, we make no claim to any intellectual property rights in Stree, Stree 2, or any related characters," he added.

While the actors shared sizzling on-screen chemistry, they experienced a fallout shortly after the film's release. In April, however, Mallika and Emraan ended their 20-year rift at the wedding reception of producer Anand Pandit's daughter, Aishwarya. They posed together on the red carpet and were seen talking. Now, in an interview, Mallika opened up about their past feud, attributing it to their youth at the time. “We were so young, silly and stupid. You know, ego comes in the way. Industry main kaan bhi bohot bharte hain na log. (People fill your ears in the industry). I was advised wrong. He's a great guy. He's a wonderful human being. I have great memories of filming with him, even doing those intimate scenes. He was an absolute gentleman. He made me feel safe, and really good about myself,” Mallika said in a chat with Ranveer Allahabadia. 

The actress added that she is open to the possibility of working with him again. “I would be very thrilled to work with him again and what a journey he's had regarding his son and coming on top like that and having that experience. He's just fabulous,” she added. 

In the same interview, Mallika Sherawat talked about her role in Murder. The actress revealed that she faced massive backlash for her bold scenes in the movie. She said, “The culture wasn't ready for me back then, and it wasn't ready for Murder either. Only now has Bollywood caught up to where I was in 2004. At that time, actresses were expected to follow a certain code of conduct. They were shy, while I was unapologetic. With Murder, a femme fatale was introduced.” 

Mallika Sherawat shared that she also faced judgement from her Bollywood peers. “There are some big-name actresses in Bollywood whose names I won't take, but they were condescending to my face. There was so much slut-shaming. They wanted to make me feel ashamed of the bold scenes I did,” said the actress.

Directed by Anurag Basu, Murder also featured Ashmit Patel, Rajendranath Zutshi and Sheeba Chaddha in important roles.

After a good opening, the movie entered the Rs 100 crore club in four days. On its first Monday, Vettaiyan saw a dip in its box office collections. The film garnered ₹5.25 crore on October 14, reported Sacnilk. The action-drama saw an overall 63.81% Tamil occupancy. Vettaiyan's total collection now stands at  110 crore. Directed by TJ Gnanavel, Vettaiyan's star cast includes Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Kishore, Ritika Singh, Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati. The cop drama focuses on encounter killings and corruption in the education sector. The film has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada.

Vettaiyan marks Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth's much-awaited on-screen reunion after 33 years. The duo last worked together in the 1991 film Hum. At the audio launch of Vettaiyan, Amitabh Bachchan sent a video message for Rajinikanth. In the message, Big B shared an anecdote from the sets of their film Hum.  The actor praised Rajinikanth for his humble and down-to-earth nature. He said, “I used to rest in my AC vehicle while shooting for Hum, and Rajini slept on the floor during breaks. Watching him be so simple, I came out of the vehicle and rested outside,” Amitabh Bachhan said as quoted by India Today.

Amitabh Bachchan also mentioned he feels "honoured" to work with the "supreme of all stars," Rajinikanth, in his Tamil debut. He said, “Vettaiyan is my first Tamil film, I'm very honoured. Rajinikanth is the supreme of all stars.” 

Rajinikanth also talked about the time Big B went through a financial crisis. The actor shared how Amitabh Bachchan had to sell his Juhu home and ended up working 18 hours a day to pay off his debts.

“For three years, despite having many health issues, he worked for 18 hours a day and cleared all his dues. Not just that he bought back the old house, he bought a total of three houses in that same lane. That's Amitabh Bachchan! He is 82 now and still works for 10 hours a day,” added Rajinikanth. 

Vettaiyan is produced by Subaskaran Allirajah's Lyca Productions. The pan-India faced stiff competition at the box office from Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, as well as Alia Bhatt's Jigra. Both these movies were released on October 11.

When asked if Bollywood is a "family industry", the actor said, "Main nahi maanta (I don't agree). Mere chaar bacche hai, aur chaaro hi filmon mein hai. Mai aaj tak kisi bhi producer ko, kisi ko nahi bola ki mere bete ko chance do. (I have 4 kids, and all of them are working in films. Till date, I have never asked any producer or anybody to give work to my sons.)"

Mithun Chakraborty discussed the film careers of his sons, Namashi and Mimoh. He shared that Namashi auditioned for a role in Bad Boy directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, while his other son, Mimoh, worked in Haunted under director Vikram Bhatt. "Uske baad film chali ya nahi chali, wo sab doosri baat hai. (Whether the films worked or not, it is a separate issue.) But I can tell you with all my heartfelt emotions I have never promoted my children and I told them that you have to fight your own battle," he added. 

He added, "Agar kisi ka baap hero hai aur uska beta bhi hero bana, toh sirf isliye koi nahi banta hero. Uss mein bhi talent hona chahiye. Aur talent nahi hoga toh thank you very much, aap jaa sakte hai. (If someone's father is an actor and the son becomes an actor too, then it's not just that what makes a person an actor. The son has to have talent as well. If you don't have talent, you will be shown the door). Talent will rule."

Having started his career with renowned Bengali filmmaker Mrinal Sen's Mrigayaa in 1976, Mithun Chakraborty received the first National Film Award for Best Actor for this film. He won three National Awards, four Filmfare Awards and the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian honour by the Government of India.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted a note on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday and shared the weekend box office figures of Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. He wrote, “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video [VVKWWV] had an ordinary opening weekend, but expectations were higher given the positive feedback to its trailer... It missed the opportunity to capitalise on the Dussehra holiday [Saturday] and declined on Sunday, which could've boosted its numbers.” 

He added, “Desi entertainers have immense potential to connect with audiences and deliver big numbers when the content resonates... VVKWWV missed this opportunity. VVKWWV needs to maintain steady momentum from Monday to Thursday to stay on track... An open run ahead, due to lack of major releases until Diwali, is an advantage. [Week 1] Fri 5.71 cr, Sat 7.06 cr, Sun 6.40 cr. Total: ₹ 19.17 cr.” 

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is set in the 1990s.

The video kicks off with the iconic tunes from the first instalment of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. Soon, we hear Diljit's energetic voice. Then, Pitbull chimes in with the line, "Let's take the world on fire." And as if that was not enough, Kartik Aaryan's killer dance moves add the perfect finishing touch. The music for this song is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and Pritam, with lyrics penned by Dhrruv Yogi, Sameer and Pitbull.

In his caption, Kartik Aaryan wrote, “Rooh Baba goes Global with the Coolest Collab DILJIT x PITBULL N the OG NEERAJ Get Ready for the #SpookySlide.”

Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to release on November 1, the same day Rohit Shetty's Singham Again hits the big screens. Kartik Aaryan recently opened up about this highly anticipated box-office clash. He said, "It's not a versus between the two films; they are part of significant franchises, and I have great admiration for everyone involved. Ye jo versus chalu hua hai, ye bahut galat hai (This versus debate that has started, it's wrong.)" 

"Films are not frequently releasing, and we read about this daily. Now, during Diwali, we have two films coming out that audiences have eagerly awaited for a long time. I appreciate their film, and I will be watching it too. I hope you all support our film as well. Both films have a strong chance of succeeding, I don't see it as a competition," Kartik Aaryan added.

In addition to Kartik Aaryan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 features Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Rajpal Yadav in key roles.

In the latest episode, mind-coach Arfeen Khan was announced as the house's captain. It all began when Bigg Boss summoned all the participants to the activity area for a task. They were asked to name one contestant they believed was unfit to manage the house's responsibilities. During the task, Nyrraa Banerji voted against Rajat Dalal, calling him “incapable.” Shrutika Arjun named Alice Kaushik because Alice mocked her accent. In the end, Arfeen Khan received no negative remarks from anyone and earned the title of "Time God" for the week. As captain, Arfeen now holds the power to alter the time for all the contestants. 

The makers also made the announcement by sharing a post on Instagram. They wrote, “Ab Arfeen badlenge Bigg Boss ke ghar ka past, present aur future. Kya hoga iska baaki gharwalon par asar? [Now, Arfeen will change the past, present and future of the Bigg Boss house. What impact will this have on the other housemates?]"

Meanwhile, in a surprising twist, there was no elimination last week. The only exit from the house was the “19th contestant” – a donkey named Gadhraj. The animal was released following a letter from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to the show's host, Salman Khan. PETA expressed public concern over its involvement in the show. Notably, the contestants nominated for elimination were Chahat Pandey, Muskan Bamne, Gunaratna Sadavarte, Karan Veer Mehra and Avinash Mishra. Click here to read the full story.

Before that, during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan schooled Nyra Banerjee for her lack of screen time. He stated that she had only been seen on camera four times throughout the week. The host said, “Jis waqt baat karni hai, us waqt baat nahi karti ho. Jis waqt nahi baat karni hai, us waqt baat kar rahi ho. [When it is time to talk, you do not speak. When it is not the right time to talk, you are the one talking.]” Click here to read in detail.

The film crossed the ₹15 crore mark in its opening weekend but failed to maintain the pace. Jigra minted ₹1.5 crore on Monday, as per a report by Sacnilk. The film recorded a 10.35% overall Hindi occupancy. With this, the crime fiction drama has now accumulated a total of ₹18.10 crore. Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra features Alia Bhatt as Satya Anand and Vedang Raina as her brother Ankur Anand. The plot centres on Satya, who is a devoted sister. She is determined to rescue her brother Ankur from a foreign jail, where he has been framed for a crime he didn't commit by Kabir (played by Aditya Nanda) and his family. 

On Monday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared Jigra's weekend box office numbers on X (formerly Twitter). Taran claimed that the film had “underperformed” in its opening weekend. He wrote, “Jigra has underperformed in its opening weekend... The numbers should've been higher, much higher, especially considering that Gangubai Kathiawadi [2022] and Raazi [2018] - both women-centric films starring Alia Bhatt - opened to significantly stronger numbers. The issue with #Jigra lies in its urban-centric appeal, which limits its reach beyond a few major centres... This also explains the ordinary/dull response in mass circuits, where the film struggled to attract and connect with a broader audience.” 

He added, “Moving ahead, Jigra has an uninterrupted run until Diwali, providing an opportunity to recover the shortfall... However, for the film to secure a respectable *Week 1* total, it's crucial that the Monday to Thursday numbers stabilise and show consistency. [Week 1] Fri 4.55 cr, Sat 6.58 cr, Sun 5.51 cr. Total: ₹ 16.64 cr.” 

Jigra is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt and Soumen Mishra under their banners Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions. The movie clashed with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video at the box office.

The film revolves around love, lies, deceit and betrayal. At the trailer launch event of the film, a journalist asked Kajol if she had ever faced betrayal in life, taking a cue from the film's story. Kajol, in her usual charming style, dodged the question and said, "Don't be daft. I am not going to share an anecdote. It is too personal. If it is a betrayal, it is too personal. Obviously I will not (share the details)," reported by News 18.

Kajol then turned to co-stars Kriti Sanon and  Shaheer Sheikh and asked if they were keen to share their stories of betrayal. They, too, stepped back. Kajol then told the media, "We cannot share anecdotes on this topic. But we can tell you that betrayal is something that everyone experiences. If we've grown up as an adult, you feel it as a child sometimes, you feel it as a teenager, you will feel it as an adult and at some point in your life for sure. Otherwise, you haven't lived life at all or you've been under a tree somewhere. Yes, we've all felt betrayal and I think we've portrayed it nicely also in the film."

Sharing the trailer on Instagram feed, Kriti Sanon wrote, "My first as a producer! My first with a double role.. one of my most challenging roles.. This butterfly's kattha is too special.. Twists, turns, rivalry, love, hurt and an important subject that the entire team feels strongly for..Can't wait for you all to watch the film.. Filhaal.. trailer kaisa laga??" Take a look:

Do Patti has been written by Kanika Dhillon and it has been directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi. Do Patti marks Kriti Sanon's debut as a film producer. The film marks Kriti Sanon and Kajol's second collaboration after Dilwale and it also features TV star Shaheer Sheikh.

This time, a Manipur-based actor Bijou Thaangjam accused the Jigra makers of "unprofessional behaviour" and has alleged bias towards actors from the North-East by "big production houses". In a long note, shared on X, Bijou Thaangjam opened up about how he auditioned for a role for Alia Bhatt's Jigra and how his dates were kept occupied without any assurance of landing the role. Bijou Thaangjam claimed that he lost other films during that time as his dates were booked for Jigra. Bijou Thaangjam wrote on X,  "I'm not writing this with any agenda or accusations. I just want to share the reality of how actors like me from the Northeast are often treated by big production houses. Hopefully, this sheds some light on what we face."

He shared deatils of his experience during casting for the film. "I am not here to jump on the bandwagon on the Jigra controversy over the alleged copying of Divya Khossla Kumar's Savi, but I've been keeping my own experience with the Jigra team under wraps for a while, and maybe it's time to speak up. Back in 2023, I was approached by their casting team to audition for a role. I sent my tapes twice over the span of four months, playing along with their timeline. By the end of November, they told me I'd be shooting in December - fantastic, right? Except they never gave me any firm shoot dates. Still, they booked me for the entire month of December, expecting that I'd be ready to shoot for them at any moment. As someone based in Imphal, Manipur, I made it very clear from the start that travel arrangements would need to be made, but that didn't seem to matter," the actor wrote in the statement.

He continued,  "Throughout the month, I was left in the dark, communicating with the casting team but receiving no real updates on when I'd actually be needed. The last message I received was on December 26th, stating 'Waiting for a revert', and after that - complete silence. Meanwhile, I'd lost out on other projects because I was sitting around, waiting for them to give me the go-ahead. But of course, that never came."

Bijou Thaangjam concluded the post with these words, "I understand how big production houses operate. The director is undeniably talented, but the way they handled this entire situation was deeply unprofessional. For actors like me from the Northeast, it felt particularly dismissive, almost discriminatory. My time was wasted, and I missed out on other opportunities just because they expected I'd be available at a moment's notice. I am not writing this with any agenda or accusations. I just want to share the reality of how actors like me from the Northeast are often treated by big production houses. Hopefully, this sheds some light on what we face." Take a look:

A couple of days ago, Divya Khossla shared pictures of empty theatres and accused Alia Bhatt of rigging the box office numbers for her film. This post followed discussions about similarities between Divya's film Savi and Alia Bhatt's Jigra. Savi, featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Anil Kapoor, tells the story of a housewife attempting to break her husband out of a prison in England, while in Jigra, Alia's character plans a jailbreak to rescue her brother.

Alia Bhatt's Jigra has been struggling at the box office since its opening day. On its first Sunday, the movie recorded a 26.57% overall Hindi occupancy. So far, the crime fiction drama has accumulated a total of ₹16.75 crore, per Sacnilk.

In an interview, the actress, who is currently garnering praise for her performance in Jigra, revealed that she used to zone out during conversations since childhood but wasn't aware that she had ADHD. “I used to get zoned out from a young age. I used to get zoned out in the classroom or during conversations. Recently, I did a psychological test and found out that I am high on the ADHD spectrum. I have ADHD - Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Whenever I told about this to my friends, they were like, "we always knew". This is not some sort of revelation. But, I didn't know,” Alia said in a conversation with The Lallantop. 

Alia Bhatt mentioned that there are very few moments in her life in which she feels most present. One of them is when she is in the presence of her daughter Raha. She said, “I understood why I am at peace in front of the camera. I'm most present in that moment. Whenever I am in front of the camera, I am present as the character I am playing. And I'm most present in that moment. And now after Raha, when I am with her, I am most present. These are the two moments in my life where I am more peaceful."

Back in September, Alia Bhatt revealed that she had been diagnosed with ADHD. The actress said in an interview that she does not spend more than 45 minutes on a make-up chair. "It needs to be something that you can do very quickly. I have ADD and don't have interest in investing too much time. Whatever needs to happen needs to happen fast," Alia told the Allure Magazine. 

She added, "On my wedding day, my makeup artist Puneet (B Saini) was like, Alia, this time you need to give me two hours. I told her, You've lost it. Especially on my wedding day, I'm not giving you two hours because I want to chill."

Alia Bhatt married actor Ranbir Kapoor at their residence in Mumbai in 2022. The couple is now parents to their daughter - Raha. 

Alia Bhatt's Jigra debuted in theatres on October 11. Next, she will be a part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War with husband Ranbir Kapoor and Raazi co-star Vicky Kaushal. The actress will also be seen in YRF's Alpha, alongside Sharvari Vagh.

Headlined by superstar Rajinikanth, the movie will feature Aamir Khan in a cameo appearance. The actor is scheduled to shoot his scenes on October 15 in Chennai, according to a report by Peeping Moon. Although the specifics of his role are currently unknown, the report claims that Lokesh has carefully crafted a special character for the superstar. Aamir Khan will have a brief yet impactful scene with Rajinikanth, which is expected to elevate the story and create a memorable, mass-appealing moment for viewers. Coolie marks Aamir Khan's first collaboration with Lokesh, and rumours suggest that the two will soon work together on a full-fledged film. Aamir Khan previously shared screen space with Rajinikanth in the 1995 movie Aatank Hi Aatank.

In September, the makers of Coolie unveiled the film's poster, featuring Rajinikanth dressed as his character. The megastar was seen wearing a shirt and holding a number tag that coolies typically wear, with "1421" written on it. Sharing the poster on X (formerly known as Twitter), Lokesh Kanagaraj wrote, “Superstar Rajinikanth Sir as Deva in Coolie. Thank you so much for this Rajinikanth Sir. It's going to be a blast."

In an interview with Lallantop, Vedang Raina shared he was told during the shoot of his debut film The Archies that his lip-syncing needed improvement. Vedang, who also sang the reprised version of Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka for the film, said while he is no fan of Ranbir Kapoor's singing, he defintely picked up a thing or two from the Rocksar actor.  "Ranbir ki jo lip-syncing hain...I've always been his biggest fan, and he does it brilliantly. I've always wanted to see the BTS (behind-the-scenes) of Rockstar to see if he could actually sing. I thought he must be a singer, kuch nahi (nothing)...it was negative. His real-life singing is really bad. It goes to show how good he is (at acting), " said Vedang Raina.

He added, "I tried to recreate his lip-sync. Obviously, in the film, it was an exaggerated version, but I wanted to try matching his pitch."

Vedang Raina shared a BTS video of shooting the title track. In the video, he can be heard saying, "So, today we are shooting for Oo Jigra rock version and it's a bit of a music video. It's my first and I am super excited." Vedang also wrote a heartfelt caption, "As a 10 year old, all I would do was imagine myself in a packed arena, singing on stage and a crowd cheering me on. This is the closest I've gotten to that dream and I loved every second of it. Thanking my stars every single day because this doesn't even feel like real life anymore." He signed off the post with these words, "So grateful for all the love for the Jigra. Title Track. Check it out if you haven't already. Jigra in cinemas this Friday, 11th October." Take a look:

Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra features Vedang Raina and Alia Bhatt as siblings. The film is co-produced by Alia and Karan Johar under the banner of Eternals Sunshine Productions and Dharma Productions.

In the movie, Mallika's character was loved by both Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar's characters. It seems that their on-screen romantic rivalry set the bar for their real-life equation as well. In an interview, the actress revealed that the two stars kept fighting for her attention on set. “I had a blast shooting for Welcome, both Anil and Nana were fighting over me for real. They were trying to get my attention; imagine how important I felt! They are brilliant human beings and have amazing energies as actors,” said Mallika Sherawat, in a chat with Ranveer Allahbadia.  

When asked if the cast expected the film to do well and achieve the iconic status it has reached today, Mallika Sherawat answered, “We were shooting in Dubai, it was so hot that our makeup would keep melting, so no one was bothered thinking about the film's fate. We all just wished to pack up soon and go back home.”

Welcome is directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. The movie also features Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Paresh Rawal. The plot revolves around two crime lords, Majnu Bhai (Anil Kapoor) and Uday Shetty (Nana Patekar), who are keen to get Uday's sister married, Sanjana (Katrina Kaif), into a decent family. 

During the same interaction, Mallika Sherawat also revealed that she faced severe backlash for her role in the 2004 film Murder. The actress said, “The culture wasn't ready for me back then, and it wasn't ready for Murder either. Only now has Bollywood caught up to where I was in 2004.”

She added, “At that time, actresses were expected to follow a certain code of conduct. They were shy, while I was unapologetic. With Murder, a femme fatale was introduced.” 

Mallika Sherawat shared that instead of getting support from the Bollywood fraternity, she was harshly judged by her peers. “There are some big-name actresses in Bollywood whose names I won't take, but they were condescending to my face. There was so much slut-shaming. They wanted to make me feel ashamed of the bold scenes I did,” said the actress.

Without taking any name, Shraddha confirmed that she's in a relationship. "I really love spending time with my partner and doing things with him like watching a movie, going for dinner, or travelling. I am generally someone who likes to spend time doing things together or even not doing things together," said Shraddha. She added, "For instance, even with my school friends, if we don't meet, it affects my mood. Yesterday, we had a family lunch, which was so uplifting and invigorating, and the same goes for my relationship."

Shradhha Kapoor delivered the biggest hit of the year, Stree 2, which beat the lifetime collections of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. Is wedding on the card? On being asked about her wedding plans, the Stree actor said, "It is not a question of believing in marriage or not, but more a question about being the right person, and therefore being with the right person. And in case one feels they want to get married, then that's great. But if they feel like they don't want to get married, that's great too."

At the trailer launch event of Stree 2, Shraddha Kapoor was asked when she's getting married. Dressed in a red saree and sporting a long braid (cue - Stree reference), Shraddha Kapoor replied with a smile on her face, "Woh Stree hai, usse jab dulhan banna hai woh banegi" (She is Stree; she will become a bride whenever she feels like)." The audience got amused with her witty reply.

The dating rumours began after Shraddha Kapoor and Rahul Mody were spotted together on several occasions last year. They also attended a friend's wedding in March. Earlier, a source close to the couple told Hindustan Times, "After working on the film, they have been going strong. They are in a very comfortable position with each other, which is why they don't feel the need to hide their affair. And that's the reason they are getting spotted together more often."

The source added, "They are not afraid to be photographed with each other, but that doesn't mean they will make their relationship official anytime soon. They are both private people and want to keep their relationship out of the limelight."

Host Salman Khan raised the tension by playing a clip from the grand premiere night. In the video, Arfeen Khan remarked about Karan Veer Mehra, labelling him as the most aggressive and violent contestant. Arfeen also referenced Karan's two divorces. Once the clip ended, Salman directly asked Karan about his past relationships, specifically inquiring if any accusations or FIRs had been filed against him for physical aggression. Karan denied the allegations, which prompted Salman to question why Arfeen held such a view.

Arfeen Khan explained that Karan Veer Mehra can sometimes come across as either competitive or aggressive. During a break, Karan and Arfeen engaged in a discussion, joined by Arfeen's wife, Sara Arfeen Khan. She pointed out that their perception of Karan was influenced by his performance in Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14. Arfeen further added that Karan has gone through difficult personal times, including two divorces, which may have contributed to the impression of aggression. In response, Karan Veer Mehra said, “Yes, I had two divorces but have never raised my hand on any of my two ex-wives. There were arguments and everything, but I never chose violence," as quoted by News18.

As per reports, Karan Veer Mehra married Devika in 2009. The couple parted ways in 2018. In 2021, Karan married Nidhi. Their relationship also came to an end as they divorced in 2023.

Coming back to Karan Veer Mehra's Bigg Boss performance, the actor was nominated for elimination. In a surprising twist, no contestant was eliminated in the first week. Other contestants nominated alongside Karan included Chaahat Pandey, Gunaratan Sadavarte, Avinash Mishra, and Muskan Bamne. Instead, the “19th contestant” was evicted from the show.

After hearing of Baba Siddique's death, Salman Khan cancelled the shoot of Bigg Boss 18 and rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where the politician had been taken after the shooting. On Sunday evening, Baba Siddique was buried with state honours.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

Baba Siddique, 66, was a prominent figure in Maharashtra politics and was well-known for his close ties with several Bollywood celebrities, including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan among others. He played a pivotal role in reconciling the two superstars and ending Bollywood's biggest feud nearly a decade ago. The two stars, who stopped talking after an altercation at Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008, met at Baba Siddique's annual Iftaar party and hugged for the first time in years. The photo of that moment quickly went viral on social media.

At least six bullets were fired at Mr Siddique near his son Zeeshan's office and four hit him in the chest. Three men carried out the shooting during Dussehra festivities. The two suspects arrested in the killing of Mr Siddique have claimed they belong to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, said sources. However, the gang is yet to take responsibility for the murder, which was carried out despite the minister having the 'Y' security.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang was also involved in a shooting outside the Mumbai residence of Salman Khan on April 14. The gang had threatened to target anyone who helped Salman Khan, because of his alleged involvement in the shooting of blackbucks during the filming of the 1998 movie Hum Saath Saath Hain. The alleged act had enraged the Bishnoi community, which reveres the blackbuck.

Security was tightened around Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments home in Bandra after the April shooting. The star had told the police that he believed that the shooting was done on the orders of the Bishnoi gang with the intention of killing him and his family.

On the occasion of Dussehra, the film's director Rohit Shetty, along with actors Kareena Kapoor and Ajay Devgn, travelled all the way to Delhi. They were seen at a Ramleela Maidan, where the trio posed with a “gadha” and bows and arrows in their hands. While Rohit and Ajay twinned in black, Kareena opted for a heavy-duty ethnic outfit. In a video circulating online, the three of them can be seen standing next to actor-politician Manoj Tiwari.

In addition to Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor, Singham Again also features Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone.

It all began when Divya made a controversial post on Instagram, accusing Alia Bhatt of misrepresenting the opening figures of her latest film, Jigra. Opened to mixed reviews, the film faced scrutiny after Divya alleged that Alia was manipulating box office numbers by purchasing tickets herself.

Divya's Instagram story featured a photo of an apparently empty cinema hall where Jigra was screening. She expressed disbelief over the claimed box office collections, stating, "Theatre was totally empty ... all theatres going empty everywhere," and added that Alia was "fooling the audience" with inflated figures. She wrote, "Went to Citi Mall PVR for a Jigra show. The theatre was totally empty... all theatres are empty everywhere. #Aliabhatt me sach mein Bahut #Jigra hai.. khud hi tickets karide aur fake collections announce kar diye. Wonder why paid media is silent." Her post included hashtags like #TruthOverLies and #WeShouldNotFoolTheAudience."

In response to Divya's accusations, Karan Johar shared a cryptic message on his Instagram stories, stating, "Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools." Though he didn't mention Divya directly, it was clear whom he was addressing. Divya quickly fired back with her own post, countering Karan's statement by saying, "Truth will always offend fools opposed to it." She followed this with another story that criticised those who "steal" from others, insinuating that silence often accompanies guilt. She wrote, "When you are so accustomed to stealing what rightfully belongs to others, you will always seek shelter in silence. You will have no voice, no spine."

The tension between the two parties can be traced back to the release of Jigra, which has emerged as one of Alia Bhatt's lowest openers, earning just Rs 11 crore in its first two days, one of which was a holiday. Adding to the drama, Jigra clashed with Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Waala Video, a film produced by Divya's husband, Bhushan Kumar of T-Series.

Moreover, Jigra bears similarities to Divya's own project, Savi, a prison-break drama co-starring Anil Kapoor. Sources close to Divya have alleged that Mukesh Bhatt, the producer of Savi, acquired the rights to The Next Three Days for Rs 4 crore while still working with his now-estranged brother, Mukesh Bhatt. According to these sources, Alia was aware of the remake rights, and when the brothers had a fallout, she "gave the screenplay to another production house".

Surprisingly, there was no elimination this week. The only one to leave the house was the “19th contestant”, a donkey named Gadhraj. It was released after PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) sent a letter to the reality show's host Salman Khan. PETA expressed public concern over the animal's use in the show. It is worth noting that the nominated contestants for this week included Chahat Pandey, Muskan Bamne, Gunaratna Sadavarte, Karan Veer Mehra and Avinash Mishra.

Bigg Boss is known for its drama, and this season is delivering plenty of it. Earlier, the makers released a promo featuring Vivian Dsena and Chahat Panday in a heated exchange. The two contestants remove each other's masks, which leads to a serious confrontation with host Salman Khan.

In a task, the contestants are challenged to unmask their co-housemates. Shehzada Dhami and Arfeen Khan take off the mask worn by Avinash Mishra. Arfeen is heard criticising Avinash, claiming he is arrogant and has an ego problem. Salman also takes the opportunity to reprimand housemate Nyra Banerjee for her lack of screen time, noting that she had only been seen on camera four times throughout the week. He commented, “Jis waqt baat karni hai, us waqt baat nahi karti ho. Jis waqt nahi baat karni hai, us waqt baat kar rahi ho. [When it is time to talk, you do not speak. When it is not the right time to talk, you are the one talking.]” Click here to read in detail.

Before that, Shilpa Shirodkar and Rajat Dalal engaged in a war of words. Rajat even called Shilpa "phattu [coward].” It began with Rajat saying, "Aap sabka dhyaan rakhte ho... Agar ghar mein kalesh ho raha hai aur agar un 3 logon ko target kare kisi bhi cheez ke liye. [You care for everyone... If there's chaos in the house and it's clear that three people are being targeted by someone for any reason.]” To this Shilpa replied, "Jab tak baat mere pe nahi aati main koi bhi judgement paas nahi karungi. [Until it concerns me, I would not pass any judgement.]” Then, Rajat said, "Ab se mera apna manna hai koi kisi bhi tarah se, apne aap ko captain na samjhe. [Now it's my belief, no one should consider themselves the captain in any way.]” Full story here.

Bigg Boss Season 18 airs on Colors TV.

Siddique was shot dead by three unknown assailants in Bandra. He was immediately taken to Lilavati Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. In a viral video, Salman is seen arriving at Lilavati Hospital to visit Baba Siddique's family.

Baba Siddique was a prominent figure in Maharashtra politics and was well-known for his close ties with several Bollywood celebrities, including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan among others. He played a pivotal role in reconciling the two superstars, who had a well-publicised feud nearly a decade ago. The two stars, who had been avoiding each other since a heated argument at Katrina Kaif's birthday party in 2008, finally met each other at Baba Siddique's annual Iftaar party. Their earlier tension faded as they greeted each other warmly and shared a heartfelt hug. A photo of that moment quickly went viral on social media.

On the professional front, Salman Khan was last seen in AP Dhillon's Old Money, which also features Sanjay Dutt. He also produced the docu-series Angry Young Men, based on the journey of iconic screenwriters Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar from the 1970s Hindi cinema. This project was produced alongside Salma Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti.

On Eid, Salman announced his upcoming film titled Sikandar, where he will star alongside Rashmika Mandanna. AR Murugadoss will direct the film. Last year, he had two film releases: Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3, which featured Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi and was directed by Maneesh Sharma. He also made a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. Additionally, Salman returned as the host for the 18th season of the reality TV show Bigg Boss.

While the song looks effortlessly choreographed and beautiful on screen, what happened behind the camera was "life threatening" for Janhvi. The Devara actress shared a bunch of BTS pictures and videos from the song shoot in Thailand, where she desribes her horrific ordeal. From stepping into "jellyfish infested water" to climbing some sharp rocks, Janhvi did it all to make the song a success. 

From the series of pictures and videos she posted, Janhvi speaks about how dangerous the water is before going in for the shoot in the first video. She mentions that there's "nothing but a thin silk saree" to protect her in the water full of jellyfish. In the next video, she shows a warning sign on the beach that says "Beware of the jellyfish."

It did not end at just the jellyfish. In the next video, Janhvi reveals how she had to climb sharp rocks around waterfalls to reach the shoot location. 

In another video, we can see how the cast and crew of the song reached the shoot location on a speedboat. Clad in raincoats to protect themselves from the ocean water, the crew seems to be enjoying the ride as well. 

Even though it was a difficult shoot schedule, Janhvi also enjoyed the process thoroughly. She shared a few pictures from the set to show her fans how she breathed life into the character. 

Devara released on September 27 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada, and has already minted over Rs 250 crore. The film features Jr NTR in a double role and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist Bhaira.

In an exclusive interview with NDTV, he recalled a time when many female actors were hesitant to work with him, except for Zeenat Aman, who supported him during this difficult phase. The veteran star recalled that despite receiving a National Award for his first film, he experienced a significant lull in his career. He noted, "Bohot rukawatein bhi thi (There were many obstacles). I was going ahead in life at a great speed, so obstacles were inevitable."

He revealed that during this tough period, several actresses were advised not to work with him. "I didn't want to bow down to that lull, I had decided that if I had to lose, then at least I'll battle it out, that I'll not just give up," he said.

Mithun Chakraborty further revealed that Zeenat Aman played a crucial role in changing this situation. He explained, "Zeenat Aman helped me a lot. She was working on a film with Brij Sadanah and he had decided 'Mithun hi mera hero hai' (Mithun is my hero). So he went to her and said, 'See, there is this boy, I think he is very good,' so Zeenat ji said, 'he is a very handsome looking boy. He dances well, I will work (with him).'" She broke the cycle by working with me. After her, all the big heroines restarted signing films with me. I am forever grateful to Zeenat ji."

Mithun Chakraborty was born in Calcutta and made his acting debut in the 1976 film Mrigayaa, a performance that earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor. Over the years, Mithun received two more National Film Awards for his roles in Tahader Katha (1992) and Swami Vivekananda (1998). Recently, he appeared in The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri. His son, Namashi Chakraborty, made his Bollywood debut in the film Bad Boy.

The veteran star and her daughter Rasha Thadani recently visited the Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple in Nashik, Maharashtra. Raveena Tandon has shared a series of pictures from their holy visit. In the first frame, the star can be seen seated with her forehead adorned with yellow and blue teeka. In the next photo, we see the mother-daughter duo standing in front of the temple. Raveena Tandon is wearing a white outfit with teal prints, while her daughter is dressed in an all-teal outfit. Additionally, there are more snapshots of the two praying at the shrine. The caption of the post reads, “Om Namoh Shivaye!”

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Rasha Thadani talked about how her mother, Raveena Tandon, is “very honest both personally and professionally.” She said, “My mom has always been supportive of everything that I have done. She's been my backbone; she will encourage me and say things like, ‘Go kill it...you've got this'. I look up to her—the way she works, how she handles the managers, make-up, and styling team, etc. I admire how she respects the people who work for her and with her. Also, she's very honest both personally and professionally. And I believe honesty is important because it is just good karma.” 

“But, it is my father (Anil Thadani) who has given me a lot of advice—he's silently there through everything. In fact, the best piece of advice he's given me is ‘stay grounded, you have nothing to prove...just let your work speak for itself'. That's something I revise every now and then,” Rasha Thadani added.

In the same interview, Rasha Thadani also opened up about being grateful to Raveena Tandon for not exposing her to “pap culture.” She shared, "While growing up, mom tried to keep us away from the spotlight, and I was grateful that we were not exposed to pap culture at the time. I was 17 when I was papped alone-it took me time to warm up but now I am pretty chill. With the increased amount of social media platforms, it is hard to keep away from it. Obviously, social media isn't our work-while it can be fun, it can also be nasty."

On the work front, Raveena Tandon was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar film Patna Shuklla. Meanwhile, Rasha Thadani will be marking her Bollywood debut with a film directed by Abhishek Kapoor.

Last year, the 52-year-old actress, who is unmarried, talked about the idea of being single. In a chat with HT Brunch, the star said, “Your happiness comes from many things unconnected with the status of your relationship. On your own, you can deal with your aloneness, but with a wrong partner, what could follow would be worse than any kind of loneliness.”

Tabu continued, “When we are young, we have an idea of love. Then we grow, have new experiences, get independent, and outgrow some things. I was working and wanted to see the world on my own. If I'd have given it all up, it'd have been a disservice to me and my ability. An ideal relationship is when both individuals grow just by being in each other's lives. Relationships are meant to liberate, not stifle. I know my thinking is a bit different. For instance, I have never thought of men and women as different in a relationship. Does gender matter over the individual people you are?”

Up next, Tabu will be seen in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha.

Praising the actor for his dedication towards his craft, Patralekhaa wrote,"Rajjjjjjj, what an amazing trailer. I am so stoked for you and this amazing character that you played. I just want to scribble a couple of words about your journey with this character. It all started with you going to the blind school , the very next week you came home with almost a cracked rib as you were practicing blind cricket so you thought may well shut the eyes n play. I dint realize that this wasn't the scary part . The scary part began after a few days of your shoot when I saw your shoulder dropping your posture began to change. I kept yelling that you don't have to do this. At some point I thought you were going to go blind with not letting your eyes rest.. But I see you Rajuuuu, you are just the best at what you do. You devout your body & soul to the character. I consider myself lucky to be a part of your madness & super proud of you husband. But kabhi kabhi meri bhi sun liya karna yaar."

Take a look at her post below:

The trailer of Rajkummar Rao's upcoming film Srikanth release earlier today. The biopic's trailer opens with a quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam flashing on the screen that reads, “Dream is not what you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.” A few seconds later, we see a classroom full of students sitting in front of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Everyone expresses what they eventually want to become. When Rajkummar Rao's turn comes, he stands up and declares, “Main desh ka pehla visually challenged president banna chahta hoon.” To this, the entire classroom laughs, mocking him. When  Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam asks for his name, he replies, “Srikanth Bolla.”

He was also the first international blind student to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Instead of April 10, the movie will now hit the big screens on April 11.  Akshay Kumar has now shared a new video on Instagram featuring snippets from the film. The action-packed clip shows Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar engaged in serious showdowns and some energetic dance sequences. We also get glimpses of Manushi Chhillar and Alaya Furniturewalla in the video. Towards the end, a background voice says, “The game has just begun.” Alongside the post, Akshay Kumar wrote, “Action-packed entertainment ke liye taiyyar? #BadeMiyanChoteMiyan aa rahe hain sirf 2 dinon mein. Advance booking open now: Link In Bio.

Before this, in a video shared on Monday, Akshay Kumar said, "UAE has declared that Eid is on April 10, which means, in India, it will be celebrated on April 11."

While talking about the big box office clash between Maidaan and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Ajay Devgn earlier said, “I would not call it a clash. If you call it a clash, then it means that two films should not be released on the same day. But there are times when you have to do this.” 

“Both films are of different genres. We are all like a family, we are friends. We are not looking at it like a clash, we are looking at it like a big weekend and both the films will do well,” Ajay Devgn added.

Days after the couple announced the good news on social media, Suki Waterhouse shared pictures of her postpartum body and opened up about her postpartum journey. On Instagram, Suki Waterhouse shared mirror selfies. The series of photos showed her wearing an open cardigan and a bralette, baring her belly. In her caption, she reflected on the "humbling" experience of the fourth trimester, filled with joy, laughter, tears, and hormonal changes. Suki Waterhouse expressed pride in her "body's achievements" and the "kindness she's shown herself" during recovery.

In her note, Suki Waterhouse wrote, "The fourth trimester has been… humbling! The postpartum period has been filled with exhilarating joy, so much laughter, tears, soo many hormones! I'm proud of everything my body has achieved and proud of the kindness and grace I've given myself during this recovery period."

As soon as she dropped the post, several fans praised the actress for being "real" about her postpartum body and journey. A fan wrote, "Thank you for being so real about what we go through after we deliver our precious angels. The hormones, the sleepless nights., the sheer joy and wonder of how such a little human can make your heart burst. It's a journey, take the time heal and enjoy. Life takes one whole new meaning now. You are a mom. The greatest gift. Wish you health and happiness."

Another one commented, "Thank you for showing your real postpartum body. It gives courage to women out there. While an Internet user wrote, "Mother is literally mothering right now," another one commented, "Being kind to yourself is such a blessing! glad you're riding all the emotions and feeling all the love. my gorgeous girl, I'm so full of happiness for you."

Earlier this month, Suki Waterhouse shared the first glimpse of their newborn on Instagram. The photo showed the new mom gazing lovingly at her swaddled infant. Captioning the photo on Instagram, she wrote "Welcome to the world angel."

Last month, news surfaced that Suki Waterhouse and her fiance Robert Pattinson, had welcomed their first child together. The couple was spotted in Los Angeles pushing a pink stroller. Robert Pattinson sported a MoMA sweatshirt and a Patagonia jacket, while Suki Waterhouse opted for a black trench coat, baseball cap, and sunglasses.

For the unversed, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson have been romantically linked since 2018, making their first public appearance in December 2022 at the Dior Men's Fall 2023 show in Giza, Egypt. Their relationship progressed further when they purchased a California home together in February, reportedly for $5.3 million. Making another rare appearance at the 2023 Met Gala, Robert Pattinson sported a Dior tuxedo with unique detailing, while Suki Waterhouse shone in a sheer Fendi dress adorned with floral embroidery.

Reflecting on their "private relationship" in a 2019 interview with The Sunday Times, Robert Pattinson expressed their choice to keep their love private, stating, "If you let people in, it devalues what love is."

The duo got married in 2004 and announced their separation in 2022. Since then, they have been living separately. Now, the two have initiated divorce proceedings at the Chennai family court. Dhanush and Aishwarya applied for divorce by mutual consent under Section 13 B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Their petition is expected to be heard in court soon. Dhanush and Aishwarya, who lived together for 18 years, have two sons - Yatra and Linga. Here's a timeline of Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth's relationship:

First meeting

In a chat with Times Of India, Dhanush recalled the first time he met Aishwarya Rajinikanth. He said, "At the first day's show of my film Kadhal Kondaen, we as a family went to watch it. By the interval, we were all hugging each other as we knew it would be a hit. Once the film was over, I was about to leave when the cinema owner introduced me to Rajinikanth Sir's daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya. We just said hi to each other and left. The next day, Aishwarya sent me a bouquet saying, 'Good work. Keep in touch'. I just took that very seriously. She is two years older than me and we got married two years later after we met."

"I like her simplicity. If you think her father is simple, meet Aishwarya. She is 100 times simpler than her father. She treats everybody as an equal and can be friends with anybody. But I also like that she is extremely complicated. She is a good mother to my sons and is bringing them up extremely well," Dhanush added.

Marriage and children

Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth got married on 18 November 2004. Their marriage was a grand affair attended by who's who of the Indian film industry. The couple are also proud parents to two sons. They welcomed their firstborn Yatra in 2006, and their second son Longa was born in 2010.

During a press conference in 2013, Dhanush talked about how his wife is still not impressed with him, and it was easier to impress his father-in-law. He said, "It was very easy to impress Mr Rajinikanth because he loves the art, he really loved my film and he immediately connected with me. It is very easy to connect with him, just be a nice human being and you can impress him.”

“I am still trying to impress her (Aishwarya Rajinikanth) actually. She is still not impressed with me as I spend very little time with her. First impression on her was with my film only. She saw my film, she liked me and said 'I will marry you'. I said, 'I will also marry you',” Dhanush added.

Professional collaboration

Dhanush acted in Aishwarya Rajinikanth's directorial debut 3, in 2012. In the film, Dhanush played the role of Ram, a boy who falls in love with Janani (Shruti Haasan) and gets married to her. But, things take an unexpected turn when Ram dies by suicide. One track of the film, Why This Kolaveri Di? became immensely popular and made Dhanush a national sensation. Many consider the song to be India's first "viral" content.

Aishwarya Rajinikanth's "proud wife" post

In 2021, Dhanush won the National Film Award as best actor for his film Asuran. At the same award ceremony, Aishwarya Rajinikanth's father, Rajinikanth also received India's highest film honour, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, for his contribution to Indian cinema. To celebrate their big moment, Aishwarya posted a picture on Instagram, in which Dhanush and Rajinikanth were posing with their medals. The text attached to the post read, “They are mine … and this is history #prouddaughter #proudwife.” 

Separation

On 17 January 2022, Dhanush and Aishwarya shared similar notes on X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce their separation. Dhanush's note read, “18 years of togetherness as friends, couple as parents and well-wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting, and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate. Aishwarya and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this. Om Namashivaaya!" 

Aishwarya Rajinikanth made her directorial comeback last year with Lal Salaam. The film featured her father Rajinikanth in the lead role. Dhanush shared the trailer of the film on his X handle with the text, “Lal Salaam trailer Best wishes to the team. God bless. #superstar #thalaivar.”

After separating from Aishwarya Rajinikanth, Dhanush attended the Rock With Raaja concert by Ilaiyaraaja in Chennai with their sons Yatra and Linga. Click here to read all about it. On the work front, Dhanush was last seen in Captain Miller.

Preity cheered for Kareena Kapoor, Tabu and Kriti Sanon. She began the note with these words, "Absolutely loved watching the movie Crew in the theatre with the super talented and gorgeous trio of Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon. Laughed and enjoyed every bit of it. Congratulations to the entire crew for this joyride. Go check it out folks." She signed off the post with these words, "It's truly worth it." Preity accompanied the post with these hashtags #Crew, #Girlpower, #Fun and #ting.

Read Preity Zinta's post here:

The heist film, directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, features Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon in the lead roles along with Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma (in a cameo appearance). The film released in theatres on March 29 and it is ruling the box office already.

Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor often featured in headlines in the 90s and early 2000s for their rift back then. It all began when Preity Zinta signed Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) after Kareena Kapoor declined to be a part of the film. Karan Johar, in his autobiography An Unsuitable Boy, said that Kareena had asked for a salary equal to that of Shah Rukh Khan, one of the film's two heroes. Therefore, he signed Preity. The incident also snowballed into a fight between Karan Johar and Kareena. "Kareena and I didn't speak to each other for almost a year. For a year, we looked through each other at parties. It was very idiotic. She was a kid, she's a decade younger than me," KJo wrote in his book. However the duo brought an end to their prolonged fight after Karan Johar announced the birth of Kareena and Saif's son Taimur Ali Khan on his X (earlier called Twitter) account on 2016.

During an old episode of Koffee With Karan, Preity Zinta appeared in a clip, where she talked about Kareena Kapoor snubbing her. "Kareena, thank you for Kal Ho Na Ho. Don't hold me for it. You always hold me for it. I don't have any problem with her but I do have a problem when she ignores me. I don't like that. Kareena says hi to me when Karan is around. I think, we are both actors in the Indian film industry, and we should just take a chill pill," Preity said.

Richa Chadha, who has previously worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, plays a courtesan named Lajjo in Heeramandi. "This show truly has the potential to travel outside the borders of India because in a sense, if you go with Bollywood extravaganza, the first name that pops up is the creator of the show. This would be a great offering from India or the Indian subcontinent to the world," Richa Chadha said during the event.

Citing the examples of Netflix shows like Narcos and Squid Game (among Netflix's most watched series around the world), Richa Chadha said, "Few shows of Netflix that have travelled like Narcos and Squid Game from Mexico and South Korea, this is going to be one of those," she said, adding that to be in a frame created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali is "a dream for any budding actor who travels to Mumbai." The thriller Narcos chronicles the rise and fall of Colombian drug lords in the 1980s and 90s, while the South Korean drama Squid Game showcases the story of contestants caught in a dystopian world, where surviving kids' games is the only deciding factor for life and death.

Heeramandi boasts of an impressive ensemble cast that includes Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin Segal and Sanjeeda Shaikh, Fardeen Khan, Adhyayan Suman, Shekhar Suman and Taha Shah Badussha.

Heeramandi will showcase the lives of courtesans, set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s. The series can be summed up as an epic saga of love, power, revenge, and freedom. The series, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is slated to release on May 1 on Netflix.

However, Diljit said that he “completely surrendered” to filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's vision.

Diljit Dosanjh said: “I used to think that because I am from Punjab, I would understand Chamkila better. But after I met Imtiaz, I completely surrendered to him.”

"The way he stood, the way he spoke, the way he would react, and even the way he would think, Imtiaz had it all figured out because of his extensive research and homework that he had done on Chamkila,” he added.

The Great Indian Kapil Show streams on Netflix.

Amar Singh Chamkila, a Hindi biographical drama, also stars Parineeti Chopra as his wife.

The actress said she had never done a one-take song in her career and that it was the filmmaker who pushed her to give her absolute best. Talking about shooting for Tilasmi Bahein at the trailer launch, Sonakshi said: "I can't tell you how difficult it was because I still can't believe that it happened first of all and how quickly it happened. We had rehearsed for the song, which we had to shoot in a span of four days."

"I went on set, and we shot till about 3 p.m and then Sanjay just got up and decided that 'nahi mujhe yeh nahi karna, mujhe kuch aur karna hai.''

The actress shared an anecdote from the set. "He decided to sit down with the ADs, call them one by one, and make them dance to the song. We just thought he was having a good time, entertaining himself by doing all of this on set and at 7 p.m. Do something like what this guy did over here and get on the table and do that 'junglee dance, which you are so good at doing anyway. Then chair ke saath yeh karna, woh log haath-pair dabayengay... Fir tum hookstep pakadlena'," she revealed.

"So, this is how that whole song is designed. Then I said cut karke loge na... He had set up the camera by then, and he said nahi nahi this is one shot," said Sonakshi.

"I have never done a one-take song in my career, and the first time it was supposed to happen, it was going to be for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali song.... I needed to rehearse a couple of times before I was able to pull this off," the actress added.

However, it was the filmmaker's confidence in her that made her ace the shot. "He was really confident, encouraging, and he believed in me that I could do it. I think that really pushed me to give my absolute best shot and it was 'Okayed' in the first take itself," she said.

According to the 72-year-old actor, her sons Zahaan and Azaan have also received the same advice from her.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, she described a live-in relationship as the "ultimate test".

"... One of you asked me about relationship advice in the comments section of my last post. Here's a personal opinion I haven't previously shared - if you're in a relationship, I strongly recommend that you LIVE TOGETHER before getting married! "This is the same advice I've always given my sons, both of whom have had, or are in, a live-in relationship. It just seems logical to me that before two people get their families and the government involved in their equation, they first put their relationship to the ultimate test," Aman wrote.

The actor said couples must figure out if they will be able to work through "million tiny conflicts" that will arise.

"It's easy to be the best version of yourself for a few hours a day. But can you share a bathroom? Weather the storm of a bad mood? Agree on what to eat for dinner every night? Keep the fire alive in the bedroom? "Work through the million tiny conflicts that inevitably arise between two people in close proximity? In short - are you actually compatible? I'm aware that Indian society is a little uptight about 'living in sin' but then again, society is uptight about so many things! Log kya kahenge? (What will people say?)" she added in the post.

Aman will return to screen after five years with Manish Malhotra's production Bun Tikki.

While she's made her mark in both Bollywood and South Indian cinema, she recently shared that there are fewer opportunities to work alongside top-tier actors in Tamil and Telugu films. When asked about the reasons behind not working with A-listers in Tamil and Telugu cinema, Priyamani told Gallata Plus, "I have also wondered why I was not cast alongside A-listers. I think the question is still unanswered. It should be asked of the directors and producers.”

Priyamani further elaborated, saying, "In all honesty, I am not trying to find fault with anybody, but I have heard from a lot of people that they don't want to cast me opposite them or along with them or in the film because probably of the fact that ‘I might eat them up'. This is the thing I have been hearing. I know it is not true, but I still don't know what the exact reason is. But that's okay. Whatever the reason is, I am absolutely fine. I am very happy and content with where I am.”

For the unversed, Priyamani kickstarted her acting journey with the Telugu film Evaru Atagaadu and entered Bollywood with a role in Mani Ratnam's Raavan. She also made a cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express, featuring in the song 1-2-3-4 Get on the Dance Floor. Her notable Bollywood works include Rakht Charitra 2 alongside Vivek Oberoi and Suriya, as well as Jawan and Article 370, which also starred Yami Gautam and Arun Govil.

In a new interview to Mid-Day, Randeep spoke about his major physical transformation. Drawing parallels between how he lost weight for Sarbjit and Savarkar biopic, Randeep said, “This time around, I was underweight for one-and-a-half years. When the previous producers shelved the movie, I had lost all my muscle mass. I recall passing out and tumbling off [my] horse. My calf was bent at a right angle to my thigh, which makes me realise how weak I may have been... that's what happens when you deprive yourself of food for a long time. I couldn't even walk.”

Randeep added, “I had to be losing a kilo a day for a certain number of days... It was very tough. I would often feel extremely weak, and would faint. It's a terrible thing for an actor to go through. But, I believe, looking the part is something every actor should do. It should be the [very least] one does. I had planned things out, but they didn't work out. So, the longer that [I had to adhere to the diet], the more frustrated I became. I had to suffer due to a lack of organisation, and had to do it twice over... I absolutely could have died. I was in such a bad state. I [will] try to contractually bind people, if I'm going to attempt something like that.”

Just a few days ahead of the release of his directorial debut, Randeep left the Internet buzzing by sharing a behind-the-scenes picture from the sets of the movie. The actor plays Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in the film. The picture shows skinny Randeep Hooda, wearing oversized shorts. Sharing the photo, Randeep wrote, “Kaala Paani.” It seems that the picture was taken at the time when Randeep was shooting for the cellular jail (Kaala Paani) scene.

On day 19, the comedy-drama collected ₹68 lakh, as reported by Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh on X (formerly known as Twitter). So far, the film has garnered a total of ₹25.15 crore. In his note, Taran Adarsh wrote, “#MadgaonExpress crosses ₹ 25 cr mark… A healthy number for a film that started slow, but gathered momentum over a period of time… Has exceeded all expectations as far as biz is concerned. [Week 3] Fri 71 lacs, Sat 1.28 cr, Sun 1.43 cr, Mon 62 lacs, Tue 78 lacs. Total: ₹ 25.15 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice”

Madgaon Express stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary in lead roles. Nora Fatehi, Chhaya Kadam, and Remo D'Souza also play significant roles in the film. 

In a recent interview with Mashable India, Nora Fatehi talked about how she was nervous to work with Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, and Avinash Tiwary in Madgaon Express. She shared, "I was nervous to meet them because I had studied their work, manifested working with them and I wanted them to take me seriously and not think, ‘Oh she is here to just look good' or is some ‘eye candy' for the film. Sometimes actors don't take people like me seriously when you meet them. I was nervous that what they would think about me. So, I wanted to ensure I do a good reading, my Hindi is ok because I wanted them to respect me."

In  NDTV's review of Madgaon Express, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “The film could well have been titled Madcap Express. Actor Kunal Kemmu's directorial debut, Madgaon Express, is a wild and wacky comedy of errors that rarely, if ever, pauses for a breather. The film is deliriously funny as it moves effortlessly and incessantly between slapstick and sparkling silver-tongued wit.”

Saibal Chatterjee continued, “Emerging from a bloated movie industry that has all but forgotten the art of genuine humour, and coming in an era of overwhelming cynicism, the bro-mantic laugh riot written by the director himself, is a free-flowing blend of Go Goa Gone and Dil Chahta Hai while steadfastly being its own beast.” 

Madgaon Express has been produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment.

Since then, there has been speculation about whether she is buying the flat that the actor stayed at, before his death. When asked about the same during an interaction with Siddharth Kannan, the actress mentioned that when she went to see the apartment, she was “overwhelmed” by the media attention. She said, “For now I would just like to say that I live in everyone's hearts. There is a right time to speak. When I had gone to see the place, I got a little overwhelmed with the media attention. I am a private person. I love being in the public eye for my movies, but I have always been private. I guard my privacy.”

Talking about people's “loose” comments on Sushant Singh Rajput, Adah Sharma added, "I also thought that it's wrong to talk about someone who is not in this world, who has done such beautiful films. I don't stand for that. He (Sushant Singh Rajput) is an actor who I have great respect for so I would like to put everything where he has his respect... I don't like people loosely commenting… I didn't like it. I read some comments about him. I mean, you can troll me but don't troll someone who is not there or doesn't have someone to speak about them.” 

Maintaining her silence about her place of residence, Adah Sharma remarked, “I will speak about where I live materialistically soon, but right now I am living in the hearts of millions of people, rent-free.”

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14, 2020, in his Mumbai apartment. He was 34. The actor has given Bollywood many hit films such as Chhichhore, M.S.

The actress also said that women still face the challenges thrown by patriarchy in both their personal and professional circles.

Elaborating on the same, Raveena, who plays lawyer Tanvi Shukla in Patna Shuklla, said, “Patriarchy is something that every woman has faced and is still facing, be it at work or at home. Patna Shuklla is a journey of a woman commanded by patriarchy and one who breaks away from it."

“Tanvi doesn't see patriarchy as a challenge, she chases justice and breaks the glass ceiling of patriarchy along the way. I want the audience to take in Tanvi's courage, warmth, and determination because no challenge will sustain for long then," she added.

The film dives into the education scam of fake roll numbers that affects the lives of thousands of earnest students in India.

I thank him to basically go against everybody else and stand up for me. So I am very appreciative."

The post was captioned, "A nawab's son torn between tradition and love, Tajdar seeks purpose through liberation. The captivating Taha Shah Badussha stars as Tajdar! Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is coming on 1st May, only on Netflix."

Heeramandi, starring Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sharmin Segal, Fardeen Khan, Adhyayan Suman, Shekhar Suman, is slated to release on May 1 on Netflix.

While the current ecosystem of advertising encompasses digital, broadcast, radio, print, and outdoors, it was the year 1974 that proved pivotal in shaping the landscape of advertising in India.

It was the year when the Liril advertisement, featuring Air India stewardess Karen Lunel, came out, and it forever changed how Indians engaged with the medium.

The advertisement film showed a bikini-clad Karen enjoying nature as she bathed under a waterfall. The advertisement, which was shot at the Pambar Falls in Kodaikanal, was created by Lintas (Lever International Advertising Services) advertising agency.

The agency was headed by Alyque Padamsee, who is known for portraying Muhammad Ali Jinnah in Richard Attenborough's multiple Oscar-winning film Gandhi. The idea behind the commercial was shaped by a deep insight about the targeted female consumers and what they wanted from a soap.

The consumer survey shed light on the fact that the only time a typical Indian housewife had to herself was when she went for a bath.

The idea, born from consumer insight, harped on the escapist fantasy of transporting women from the packed indoors of the bathroom to the open space of a waterfall that replaced the showerhead. The physical setting struck a chord with the consumers as it broke the monotony of bath time and brought in elements of freshness and nature where one could still enjoy their 'me time' without the fear of being watched.

A good commercial is one which not only banks on good storytelling but also drives product sales, and this advertisement film not only skyrocketed product sales but also became an instant hit among the Indian masses. It turned into a legacy and a stepping stone for many Bollywood actresses, like Preity Zinta, the owner of the IPL team Punjab Kings, Pooja Batra, who would go on to star in the Hindi remake of the Kamal Haasan-starrer Thevar Magan, Virasat and Deepika Padukone, who would make her Bollywood debut opposite megastar Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om.

However, as refreshing as it may seem on the screen, the commercial was logistically quite challenging to shoot. It was shot in the winter when the mercury slipped to 5 degrees Celsius in Kodaikanal.

Karen had to gulp brandy between shots to keep herself warm in the bone-chilling cold of the south Indian hill station, which further ascends to Coonoor and Ooty towards the north.

The advertisement became the foundation for the electronic advertising industry, which peaked in the 1990s in terms of creativity with iconic advertisements like that of Fevicol (created by Padma Shri awardee Piyush Pandey), Pepsi (Ye Dil Maange More campaign), Coca-Cola, Captain Cook Salt (voiced by Javed Jeffrey), Dhara Jalebi Commercial and Cadbury Dairy Milk's Asli Swaad Zindagi Ka (sung by Padma Shri Awardee and Grammy winner Shankar Mahadevan).

However, when the actor was asked if playing Circuit was a turning point in his life on the show Long Drive With Mr Faisu, Arshad Warsi said "It could have taken a wrong turn also." Elaborating, the Jolly LLB star said, "Yes. But it could have taken a wrong turn also. Tum dekho, woh role kya tha? Villain ke peeche chaar paanch lukhhe khade hote hai na, un mese mai ek tha. (You see, what was that role?  I was among the 4-5 guys who roam around with the vilain) You tell me how many actors like those four guys do you remember?”

He continued, “It was a risk that I took. It was my destiny that I had Raju with me as a director and Sanju as my co actor. Vinod Chopra had clearly told me that I would be one of the four goons with slightly extra lines. He was very honest. I knew that Sanju was a very secure actor. He was never insecure and Raju had given me that freedom.”

Arshad Warsi also opened up about his bond with Sanjay Dutt. He said, “He is a great person. Very sweet. I find him very strong. He has gone through a lot of things. He is a very loving person. I get random messages from him. He sends ‘Bro, I miss you' or he calls and says, ‘Bro I am in Africa, do you want anything?'”

Arshad Warsi is popular for films like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Golmaal: Fun Unlimited, Dhamaal, to name a few. He made his digital debut with the series Asur.

A clip that is now circulating online features an old media interaction of Aishwarya where a journalist wrongly attributes a statement to her. In the video, a media personnel asks her about an interview where she supposedly talked about moving to Hollywood. To this, the actress expresses her displeasure, saying, “Maine kab kaha? Konse interview me? Nahi, aap mujhe yeh interview dikhaiye, phir hum baat karenge. [When did I say that? In which interview? No, show me that interview, then we'll talk].” She even asks another journalist, “Maine yeh kaha hai kisi interview me? [Did I say that in any interview?]” To which, the journalist replies, “I have not heard.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan continues, “Aapko sawaal karna hai kijiye. Don't attribute statements to me. Agar maine kaam kiya hai to maine sabse pehle Tamil film me kaam kiya hai, hindi filmon me kaam karti hu, Bengali film mein kaam kiya aur abhi kuch angrezi filmon me kaam kar rahi hu. Lekin this does not mean that I am shifting anywhere or I am part of any other industry. It is just really broadening your experience. [If you want to ask questions, go ahead. Don't attribute statements to me. If I've worked, I first worked in Tamil films, I work in Hindi films, I've worked in Bengali films, and now I'm working in some English films. But this doesn't mean that I am shifting anywhere or becoming part of any other industry. It's just about broadening my experience.]”

Check out the video shared by a fan page below:

This isn't the only instance when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appeared displeased with the media. In 2017, the actress attended a charity event at a hospital alongside her mother, Brinda Rai, and her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. During the event, Aishwarya tried to ask the media to remain silent and not create a ruckus in the hospital. She said, “We are here only, we aren't going anywhere. You will all get your photos, but please remember we are in a hospital. Please be calm.” Despite her efforts, the situation remained out of control, leading the actress to add, “We are not at a premiere, this is not a public event. What is wrong with you?”

While asking the media to show some respect towards patients, Aishwarya mentioned, “They are not from our world, we all know this business, they don't. Please show some respect.”

On the work front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in Ponniyin Selvan: II.

The National Award winner, who was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, stars as one of the three leads alongside Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film, which has grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide within nine days of release. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Crew is a heist comedy that follows three air hostesses who take charge of their destiny when their airline goes bankrupt. It also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Kapil Sharma, Rajesh Sharma, Saswata Chatterjee and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.

Kriti Sanon said makers often feel viewers are not interested in "female oriented" movies. "A film doesn't have to be led by a man to pull the audience to the theatre. For the longest time, people have not taken the risk of scaling female-oriented films as they do for male-centric ones. They feel audiences won't come to the theatre and they won't recover the money.

"This (response to Crew) is sort of a start of a change, I am hoping, at least. Slowly, I hope people will come out and risk putting money and scaling a woman-led film as much as they do for male-led films because that also translates to the same amount of numbers at the box office," she added.

Citing the example of 2022's Gangubai Kathiawadi, the 33-year-old actor said director Sanjay Leela Bhansali made the Alia Bhatt-starrer on a large scale and the film was a critical as well as commercial success. Interestingly, Kriti Sanon and Alia Bhatt shared the best actress National Film Award for their performances in Mimi and Gangubai Kathiawadi.

"He (Bhansali) presented his woman character, like, for the lack of a better word, a hero. Normally, when you see films which have only female protagonists, the budget is usually constrained. People don't believe those films would pull the audience to the theatres the way a man-led film does.

"There are not many expectations. People's belief is low. That belief needs to get stronger for things to change... If you make the same content with the female-led film, you should believe that the film will do well because your content is that strong," she added.

Kriti Sanon is now looking forward to the release of Do Patti, which also marks her production debut via her Blue Butterfly Films. The movie, slated to premiere on Netflix this year, reunites Kriti Sanon with her Dilwale co-star Kajol.

"The shooting for Do Patti is over. We are in the editing process. We finished shooting for it pretty fast considering how complicated the film is and how many places I have visited for the film. I have done a little bit of Bharat darshan of many hill stations for this film. From Mussoorie, Nainital to Manali, I have gone everywhere," she said.

As a producer, Kriti Sanon said Do Patti was a wonderful learning experience. "I will always want to produce films that say something that I feel passionate about. It's important to create opportunities for women in general. Many people write a lot for men but there aren't so many people who write for women, especially after they reach a certain age. But that doesn't mean I am confined to any one genre but those stories have to have some heart and some sort of warmth," she added.

Ektaa Kapoor said that the hate she got for Thank You For Coming, a movie dealing with female sexuality, is making her anticipate the audience's response to a much bolder film like LSD 2. The producer said, "Thank You For Coming has left a very strange pain in my heart because the way that film was and the kind of reception it got in India, vis-a-vis the reception it got overseas, I don't know what happened."  “And the hate spamming we went through – our walls used to be spammed every day with hatred, because we attempted to discover and make a movie on female sexuality. I can only imagine what's gonna happen when LSD 2 comes. I think I'll have to hide again," she added.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 is releasing 14 years after its first instalment. The movie will hit the big screens on April 19. The film has been backed by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures.

Earlier, the film's director Dibakar Banerjee talked to ANI about the film's release nearly 14 years after its first installment, “It wasn't my idea, it was Ekta's idea. She suggested that enough time had passed and society had changed so much that we could make LSD 2.” “In the time of LSD 2, our virtual life has now completely dominated our real life. So this virtual life that we live in, I wanted to see how it was happening,” he added.

The actress gave a boss reply. She said, "I sure as hell hope so. I mean, what more does a girl have to do? I have been trying to prove time and again main achhi actor hoon bhai (that I am a good actor). No, but I have been given some wonderful opportunities. I can't entirely put the pin on one particular thing. It could be the choice of films, it could be different makers I have worked with but I truly believe I have learned something from every experience that I have had professionally and which is what has made me the actor that I am today."

Sonakshi Sinha spoke about the powerful roles that she has done in the past, including the hit series Dahaad, where she played a cop. Sonakshi added, "I am worthy enough of being a part of Sanjay Sir's world and with this I feel, its every actor's dream.Har actor ki ek bhookh hoti hai ke unhe ek alag nazariye se dekhein. Jiss nazariye se kisi ne nahi dekha hai unhe (It is every actor's dream to be projected in a totally different way). And Sanjay Sir has done exactly just that. It happened with me very recently with Dahaad as well, where Reema Kagti pictured me in a way that nobody had ever seen me before. So it's actually my mission now that I work with directors who look at me and project me in a way I have never been seen before. I want to do powerful roles. I want to do roles that are very strong female characters and project women very powerfully on screen."

Sonakshi Sinha signed off saying, "And that has actually been my agenda for the last few years. And I am very thankful to makers like Sanjay Sir, like Reema Kagti, who sort of empower me in that way as an actor. So you will definitely get to see a lot more in that direction from me as well."

In the video, Lakshmi asked what other slang she should know, to which her 14-year-old daughter replied, "Don't say sus. I've heard you say that.

Krishna went on to say it makes her "cringe" to hear her mom attempt slang. "Okay. Makes you cringe, or like cringe?" Lakshmi asked. Krishna confirmed that she does find it a tad "cringe".

"Okay. What is not embarrassing to say that you think your mother should know? I'll wait," Lakshmi replied.

"I mean I think there's a difference between what I should be... what slang I should be using and what slang you should be using," her daughter responded.

Lakshmi challenged her daughter's assertion by asking why she thinks that. "Because when you say certain things, it sounds odd coming out of your mouth," replied her daughter.

They continue to co-parent son Azad and they are frequently pictured together. In a recent interaction with NDTV, filmmaker Kiran Rao talked about being open about her divorce, the need for privacy and more. Speaking about the decision to publicly announce the divorce, Kiran Rao told NDTV's Abira Dhar, "It was a conscious decision because in some ways, we do realise that...You know you are in the public gaze. You are living your life very publicly. What we were doing was completely legal, morally and ethically fine. It's better to be upfront about it and not let people guess about it."

Kiran Rao added during the interaction, "Then what happens is even after you have said it, people can assign meaning to it but when you don't, it's very easy for people to be catty. And we have seen how big public personalities have been dragged through things when they are going through trouble and painful times."

Kiran Rao also talked about pre-social media world and how it has changed now. Kiran Rao added, "I realised that the second you are more upfront about it, people are more understanding of it. There is a curiosity, there is a connect with the actor and what his life must be like. There is an interest in his relationship and you make the country part of your wedding. Though we didn't. We got married in the pre-social media world. But you kind of realise that just everybody backs off when you ask for space. That kind of perverse interest only comes when you are hiding it. And everyone deserves their privacy. They need privacy and we have become obsessed about knowing every detail about everything and we demand it. And we are fatigued by it at the same time."

When asked how Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan keep son Azad away from the limelight, the filmmaker said, "As people, Aamir and I are very down to earth. I walk to my local coffee shop. I have a very normal life and people are very accustomed to it and give me my space and privacy. I am grateful for that real warmth I felt living in this city but even in general, people in Bombay and Maharashtra have never had a sense of invading your privacy and they would back off when you ask them to. And that is also how Azad is. I have told him that if people ask you for a picture, if you are ok with it, say yes, if you are not ok with it, say no. So, when we go to airport and people want a picture with him, sometimes he says yes, sometimes he says no. We don't have paps outside the gates or wherever we go."

The feature, which sees the enormous gorilla and reptilian giant set their differences aside and team up to save their species - and ours - took in $31.7 million over the weekend in the United States and Canada, according to the figures. In second place with an estimated $10 million in ticket sales was action film Monkey Man, which British actor Dev Patel both directs and stars in.

The thriller, set in India, is "ultra-violent, driven by class differences, corruption and personal vengeance," said analyst David A. Gross.

"Foreign stories do not always work in North America; it's working here," he wrote, adding: "it's going to be very profitable." In third place was Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which took in $9 million.

Co-written by Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the first Ghostbusters in 1984, the film teams a new cadre of ghost catchers with the original cast as they take on a frightening deity trying to launch a new Ice Age.

In fourth place was the horror film The First Omen, an intrigue between the Catholic Church and the forces of evil. It grossed $8.4 million in North American cinemas.

Relegated to fifth place, Kung Fu Panda 4, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's martial arts comedy, which earned $7.9 million.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

Despite its initial box office setback, Khamoshi garnered appreciation over the years. Now, after two decades, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Manisha Koirala reunited for the Netflix series Heeramandi, where Manisha essays the role of formidable "tawaif", Mallikajaan. At the star-studded trailer launch event held in Delhi on Tuesday, Manisha Koirala shared her excitement about collaborating with Sanjay Leela Bhansali once again.

She said, “I waited 28 years for Sanjay to call me and it's been a pleasure. It's an honour to be working with that genius. A lot of hard work and pyaar mohabbat has gone into making Heermandi. We have made the show with so much love, and we expect you all to love it.”

Manisha Koirala also spoke about being away from films for a while and called it an "enriching experience." She said, "When I was younger and did Saudagar - which was my first film - I was way different from what I am now. With years and the experiences that we have, we evolve. Being away from the industry has helped me look at life differently. As actors, we see ourselves and the world in a different light because the spotlight is always on us, but when you're no longer the centre of attention and living on the periphery, your perspective changes. It has been a great spiritual experience and awareness. Being away from films was an enriching experience for me both as an actor as well as a person."

While speaking about her character Mallikajaan in Heeramandi, Manisha Koirala said, " Mallikajaan is unlike any other character that I have played in the past. It was possible only because of a genius like Sanjay Leela Bhansali who was behind the camera. He directed each of us so minutely and with a lot of detail that we looked so good. We don't know what we have done. He extracts it from you. I have always been a director's actor, and cinema is a director's medium, but when you're on a Bhansali set, you have to give your extra."

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, set against the backdrop of British India, delves into the intricate dynamics of Mallikajaan's domain as she navigates challenges triggered by the return of Fareedan (Sonakshi Sinha), her late nemesis daughter. The series also stars Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh, Fardeen Khan, Shekhar Suman, Adhyayan Suman, and Taha Shah. Heeramandi will premiere on May 1.

Opening up about his character Wali Mohammad, Fardeen Khan said that his onscreen character is a "true romantic." He added, "For Wali Mohammad, he didn't allow the power, ambition, status and wealth to corrupt his heart. He kept his heart intact and for him, love was the focus of his life. He was a true romantic. I got a thing or two from him."

He also spoke about the complexity of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's characters, which offers actors the opportunity to imbue depth into their roles. Fardeen also shared that working on Heeramandi with Sanjay Leela Bhansali presented him with a unique and enriching experience, different from anything he had done before. He praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali's intuitive understanding of emotions and said that it resonated deeply with him.

Fardeen Khan said, "For me, this was something I have never done and it was the perfect role for me. At the age I am in, to come back to the screen, you come with a certain amount of life experience, wisdom and you know you can you can really contribute to the layers that Sanjay writes into all his characters. His characters are very intricate, very complex. There's nobody like him who writes characters. He goes across the spectrum and emotions, and he has this intuitive understanding of it. It's daunting to work with him, but at the same time, when you see it all together, it just all makes sense. I'm extremely grateful for this chance and so happy to be here. I'm getting emotional now.”

Heeramandi boasts an ensemble cast comprising Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, Taha Shah, Shekhar Suman, and Adhyayan Suman. The series is set to premiere on Netflix on May 1.

From taking trips with their babies to appearing together on the red carpet, the two never miss a chance to set major couple goals. Recently, Shahid posted a photo on Instagram, but it was his wife's response that caught everyone's attention. The actor shared a typical morning picture, showcasing his toned biceps while wearing a vest. "Gooood morning. Keep it real and always make it count," read the caption. However, Mira, like any other wife, couldn't help but notice the disorganized sofa cushions in the background. She humorously commented, "Thanks for messing up the cushions."

Mira Rajput is also her husband's biggest cheerleader. After watching Shahid Kapoor's latest release Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Mira gave a shout-out to the film's team by posting a note on her Instagram Stories. “Complete laughter riot. Entertainment overload after ages. Love, laughter, dancing, masti and heart touching message at the end,” she wrote about the film. For her better half, Mira added, “The OG lover boy. There is no one like you. You made my heart melt.”

While promoting Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Shahid Kapoor discussed the primary reason for most of his fights with Mira Rajput. The actor revealed, “I fight with Mira every time about this. She is like, ‘You never have time for me'. I am like, ‘Okay babe' and I keep my phone down. Then I am waiting for her and she is on her phone for 15 minutes.” Shahid Kapoor continued, “After 15 minutes, she looks at me and is like, ‘What?' I say, ‘Nothing, I have time for you.' and she is like, ‘I have two more things to do, just one second, this is very important.'”

“The one thing women hate is boredom. If you keep them entertained, they are interested. You can be very nice also but they will lose interest in you. They need a tinge of bad in you as well so that they can fight with you and make you a better being,” Shahid Kapoor added while revealing his relationship mantra.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput got married in July 2015. The couple welcomed their daughter Misha in 2016 and son Zain in 2018.

While there are no public records or images confirming his marital status, a recent report from Indian Express suggests that Diljit is married to an American-Indian woman, and they have a son together. The report, which cites inputs from Diljit's friends in the Punjabi entertainment industry, mentions, “An intensely private person, little is known about his family but friends say his wife is an American-Indian and they have a son, and his parents live in Ludhiana.” The report comes just days ahead of his big release Amar Singh Chamkila.

Not too long ago, Diljit Dosanjh's co-star from Good Newwz, Kiara Advani, inadvertently mentioned that Diljit has a child. During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kiara shared her experience of working with the Good Newwz's cast, mentioning that everyone except her had children, which hints at Diljit being a father as well. She remarked, “Very educational for me, since I am the only one who is here not having a child.”

In a 2018 interview with Colors Cineplex,  Diljit Dosanjh expressed his stance on not allowing a biopic to ever be made about his life. The actor emphasized that he does not believe in sharing his family life, stating, “Nahi mai banane nahi dunga. Mai bataunga nahi kuch to banegi kaise? I don't want ki mai apne baare me kuch batau. Aap mera kaam dekho, meri filmein dekho, mere gaane suno, uske baare me jitni baat karni hai karo. [I won't let it be made. If I don't tell, how will anything be created? I don't want to talk about myself. Look at my work, watch my films, listen to my songs, talk as much as you want about that.]”

Diljit Dosanjh further added, “Lekin family ke baare mein main…unko zada include nahi karta. Kyuki aap kisi artist ko bura bol sakte ho, usko acha bol sakte ho, uske kaam ke baare me bol sakte ho. Lekin jab aap kisi ki family ko bina matlab lke liye bolo, unka to koi kasur nahi hai. Agar mera kaam bura hai, agar meri koi statement buri hai, to aap mujhe bolo, uska zimmedaar main hu. [But when it comes to family, I don't include them much. Because you can speak ill of an artist, praise them, talk about their work. But when you speak about someone's family without reason, they're not at fault. If my work is bad, if any of my statements are bad, you can tell me, I'm responsible for that.]”

In the same interview, Diljit Dosanjh was also asked about who all are in his family. The singer-actor replied, “Family ke baare me discuss nahi karte. Mai kuch post bhi nahi karta, apne gharwalo ki koi picture. Isliye nahi karta kyuki maine pehle pehle life me bahut criticism saha hai. Jab kuch meri filmein nahi aai thi, tab bahut sare mere saath aise incidents hue, jab bahut sare log khilaaf ho gaye the mere. Tab maine decide kiya ki family ko include ni karna. Agar aapko mai acha ni laga, to mai yaha khada hu. Bura bhi tabhi lagta hai jab family pe baat aati hai. [I don't discuss my family. I also don't post any pictures of my family members. I made this decision because I faced a lot of criticism earlier in my life. When some of my films didn't do well, I had many incidents where a lot of people turned against me. That's when I decided not to include my family in public discussions. If you don't like me, I'm here to address that. It hurts even more when family is brought into it.]”

On the work front, Diljit Dosanjh was last seen in Rajesh A Krishnan's Crew. His upcoming film, Amar Singh Chamkila will be released on Netflix on April 12.

The wedding was attended by the couple's close friends and their family members. Despite keeping the affair private, several videos from the festivities did the rounds on social media. In recent Holi photos shared by Taapsee Pannu's friend and fellow actor Abhilash Thapliyal, eagle-eyed fans observed her wearing a ring. However, both Taapsee and Mathias have chosen to remain tight-lipped about their nuptials and refrained from sharing any official updates or images on social media platforms. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Taapsee Pannu spoke about her wedding for the first time.

Taapsee Pannu opened up about her decision to keep her wedding under wraps, citing her reluctance to subject her personal life to public scrutiny. She expressed concerns about potential judgment and unwarranted opinions that often accompany celebrity unions in the spotlight. Taapsee said that while she is accustomed to such scrutiny as a public figure, her partner and wedding guests are not, hence, she chose to keep the affair private.

She said, “I'm not sure if I want to open my personal life to the kind of scrutiny that happens. I've signed up for this, not my partner or the people who were at the wedding. That's why I've kept it to myself."

"The intention was never to keep it a secret; I just didn't want to make it a public affair, because then I'll start getting worried about how it is perceived. That's why I have no plans for a release of any kind, and don't think I'm mentally prepared for that right now,” said the 36-year-old, adding, “I knew people who were there, they wanted to be there for me and were not present to judge, that's why I was pretty relaxed,” Taapsee added.

Reflecting on the fusion of Sikh and Christian rituals during the ceremony, Taapsee Pannu shared that they both are from two very distinct backgrounds and shared that the wedding planning was handled by her sister, Shagun Pannu, with whom she co-owns a wedding planning business. Among the guests were Pavail Gulati and Anurag Kashyap, as well as writer Kanika Dhillon among others.

Directed by Greg Berlanti, the film is set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 moon launch in 1968 and is slated to hit theatres on July 14. In the film, Scarlett Johansson plays the role of Kelly Jones, a savvy marketing whiz enlisted to boost NASA's public image during the space race frenzy. However, her efforts to enhance the agency's reputation take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Channing Tatum's character, Cole Davis, the launch director. Sparks fly between the two as they navigate the high-pressure environment, with Channing Tatum cautioning Scarlett Johansson about the consequences of staging a fake moon landing as a backup plan.

As the trailer unfolds, viewers are treated to glimpses of the chemistry between Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s space race. Their characters find themselves embroiled in a daring scheme to evade the Russians.

Fly Me To The Moon also stars Jim Rash, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson in key roles. Scarlett Johansson also serves as one of the film's producers.

According to reports from Variety, Apple secured the rights to the film after a fierce bidding war in 2022. Originally helmed by Jason Bateman, the film underwent a change in direction before landing in Greg Berlanti's hands. Channing Tatum also stepped into the role which was previously offered to Chris Evans.

On the professional front, Scarlett Johansson played the role of Midge Campbell in Wes Anderson's Asteroid City and voiced a character in Paramount's upcoming animated feature, Transformers One. Meanwhile, Channing Tatum was seen in Magic Mike's Last Dance and has an upcoming role in the thriller Blink Twice, directed by Zoe Kravitz.

So far, the heist-comedy has collected ₹62.15 crore at the ticket counters. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Crew tells the story of three air hostesses who have been unpaid for over 6 months. Their lives take an exciting turn when they start smuggling gold to another country. However, soon there comes another twist that leaves them entangled in chaos. Released on March 29, Crew has been collectively backed by Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Purohit under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films & Communication Network. The soundtrack of the film has also received praise from fans.

On Monday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh uploaded a note on X (formerly Twitter) to post about the second-weekend box office report of Crew. He wrote, “#Crew shows its stamina in Weekend 2, packs a healthy total… Biz on [second] Fri benefitted due to #Buy1Get1 free ticket incentive, but the growth on Sat - Sun was meritorious, with urban centres driving its biz.”

Mentioning the figures, Taran Adarsh added, “[Week 2] Fri 3.85 cr, Sat 5.40 cr, Sun 5.70 cr. Total: ₹ 62.49 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

In an NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Crew 2 out of 5 stars and said, “Crew is director Rajesh A. Krishnan's first theatrical release. He debuted on a streaming platform in 2020 with the lively Lootcase. The two films, poles apart in terms of scale and ambition, are bound by their absurdist overtones and an empathy with victims of an economic system in which the rich get richer and the poor survive on unrealised aspirations.”

“The three principal characters of Crew are, however, not the kind who are given to playing victims. The men in their lives are nice blokes. Geeta's husband (Kapil Sharma in a special appearance) stands by her through thick and thin. Jasmine's grandpa is both pal and protector. And the guy who flits in and out of Divya's life - Jaiveer - can charm the birds from the trees without lifting a finger,” Saibal Chatterjee added.

Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma also play significant roles in Crew.

He found love in a hopeless place - an asylum. Of course, we are talking about the official teaser trailer of Joker: Folie a Deux, featuring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular joker and Lady Gaga as his muse Harley Quinn. The video begins with the guards asking Arthur if he has a joke for them. Arthur and Harley find solace in music and each other's company or as they call it, "to balance the fractures within ourselves." The two plan to escape the literal and metaphorical cage. "I'm nobody. I haven't done anything with my life like you have," Harley tells Arthur at one point. Joker: Folie a Deux trailer is an amalgamation of a musical with the heart of a tragic story. (Expect nothing less with the melodies of Lady Gaga and the intensity of Joaquin Phoenix). The video ends with Arthur staring into a mirror with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

Check out the teaser trailer of Joker: Folie a Deux here:

]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 07:12:49 +0530 Editor Maidaan Review: Sacrifices Depth At Altar Of Disproportionate Grandstanding https://noidamirror.com/maidaan-review-sacrifices-depth-at-altar-of-disproportionate-grandstanding https://noidamirror.com/maidaan-review-sacrifices-depth-at-altar-of-disproportionate-grandstanding As he scours the country for naturally gifted footballers, talent spotter and coach par excellence Syed Abdul Rahim asks a young P.K. Banerjee what makes a good player a great one. Talent, answers the latter. Talent is of no use without focus, the older man asserts in an obvious jibe at the rising football star's cheering female fans. That truism could well be valid for Maidaan  too. The film has a field day playing to the gallery and letting its focus stray in quest of sweet spots. It finds a few but misses the mark more often than not. The period sports biopic sacrifices nuance, depth and accuracy at the altar of disproportionate grandstanding.

To be fair, however, it isn't as gratuitously blustery as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag nor as drably predictable as M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story although its runtime is roughly the same as those two films. And it certainly anywhere near replicating the range of relevant thematic concerns that defined Chak De! India.

Dribbling rather fast and loose with facts while unwaveringly adhering to recorded dates and scorelines, Maidaan, which celebrates the golden era of Indian football by bringing to the screen the story of a legendary man manager and football strategist working in a newly independent nation born amid the pain of the Partition, is a hit and run exercise that is undermined by ill-advised overkill.

Intermittently stirring, Maidaan, directed by Badhaai Ho helmer Amit Ravindernath Sharma, pits a doughty Rahim against two scheming men who spare no effort to scuttle the coach's revolutionary plans to galvanise one of the world's most populous - and under-performing - footballing countries.

The on-field action - there is a whole lot of it designed to showcase the skills and stamina of the players Rahim selects - jostles for space with a surfeit of off-field drama involving the protagonist's delicate negotiations at home and on and around the field of play. Played with admirable restraint by Ajay Devgn, the character of Rahim towers over everything and everyone else in the film. That does more harm than good to Maidaan. The battles the hero fights to put together a team that cuts across regions, languages and cultures overshadow the excitement generated by the tough games his boys play against formidable Olympic and Asian Games opponents.

The sporting action, staged and captured with impressive deftness, would have been truly rousing had the two commentators - played by Vijay Maurya and Abhilash Thapliyal - not been the motormouths they are. Their constant chatter is only one example of how overwriting (which stems from the presumption that the audience needs to be spoon-fed the finer points of the game) ruins crucial parts of Maidaan.

An improbable Elvis Presley reference creeps in although Maidaan does not seek to project Rahim as a larger-than-life rockstar. Following a 10-1 drubbing by Yugoslavia at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, a snarky journalist takes potshots at Rahim. The coach quotes the King of Rock and Roll in response: "Don't criticise what you don't understand... You never walked in that man's shoes."

Maidaan would have done well to grant greater play to Rahim's wife Saira (an incandescent Priyamani), his footballer-son Hakim and the back stories of the talented bunch of youngsters that he turned into a strong football unit. There should have been more of P.K. Banerjee (Chaitanya Sharma), whose father is cancer-stricken, the charismatic Chuni Goswami (Amartya Ray), who led India's football squad at the 1962 Asiad, Jarnail Singh (Davinder Gill), a sturdy defender from Punjab, Tulsidas Balaram (Sushant Waydande), an impoverished and explosively talented 19-year-old handpicked from Secunderabad and Peter Thangaraj (Tejas Ravishankar), a lanky goalkeeper who stood tall against the most fearsome of strikers.

What the story and the screenplay (credited to several writers, including Saiwan Quadras, Ritesh Shah, Aman Rai and the director himself) gives us instead is a pair of naysayers - Bengali gents with a pathological aversion to Rahim's style of functioning. One of them is a snooty journalist (Gajraj Rao) who thinks Indian football should be beholden to him. The other is a federation official (Rudranil Ghosh) who pooh-poohs the national coach's strategy to create a pan-Indian team rather than drawing on the immense talent pool in Bengal. They are the bad guys - parochial, myopic and self-serving.

Since the film is about a Nehruvian-era Muslim hero who masterminded Indian football's most memorable phase ever, the journo and the official are film's alternative punching bags. The two Calcutta men desperate to see Rahim fail in his endeavours sit in the stands and mutter grimly under their breath or sulk in plain sight when the Indian team puts up a good show. There is worse. The frequent football federation meetings in the film appear to be attended by people from a single state with the single agenda of stopping Rahim. With the exception of one benign official (Baharul Islam), who consistently speaks up for the embattled coach, they are all full of bile.

For perspective, the All-India Football Federation was founded in 1937. The Indian Football Association, the governing body of the sport in Bengal, was only a part of the larger organisation. The suggestion that officials from one state could have lorded over the conduct of the game all the way until the early 196os is the sort of dramatic licence that should ideally have had no place in a film based on a true story.

The film has a song - Team India hain hum - that is instantly anachronistic. Back in the 1950s the Indian football team was called just that - Indian football team. 'Team India' originated decades later as a branding exercise when, post-economic liberalisation, the nation's sporting bodies began to partner with corporate entities to promote various disciplines.

To heighten conflict, Maidaan falls back on an array of familiar tics. A woman delivers a pep-talk when a piece of shocking news threatens to break Rahim's spirit. The man takes a tough decision about his son when India's participation in the 1962 Asiad - which constitutes the film's climax - is under a cloud. Crowds in Jakarta turn against the Indians, leading to rioting and sloganeering on the streets and in the stadium. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong for the team.

Rahim, being the man he is, takes it all on the chin. The lead actor gets into the skin of the character without breaking a sweat. But the film is seldom that firm-footed. Maidaan tells an overlong, peppered-with-fiction narrative that struggles to balance the real and essential with its unabashed goal of working the audience up into a frenzy.

The biopic's trailer opens with a quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam flashing on the screen that reads, “Dream is not what you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.” A few seconds later, we see a classroom full of students sitting in front of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Everyone expresses what they eventually want to become. When Rajkummar Rao's turn comes, he stands up and declares, “Main desh ka pehla visually challenged president banna chahta hoon.” To this, the entire classroom laughs, mocking him. When  Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam asks for his name, he replies, “Srikanth Bolla.”

Next, we see some shots of Srikanth's childhood and the problems he faces due to being visually impaired. Despite his physical disability, the boy excels at academics and becomes the head boy of his school. Eventually, when he graduates and wants to study science, he learns that there are no other options than arts for his category of students in India. Determined to challenge the Indian education system, Srikanth files a court case.

After that, Srikanth receives several invitations from the world's top universities and also falls in love with Alaya Furniturewalla's character. However, his happiness is short-lived as we witness an emotional sequence where Srikanth is not allowed to fly alone and misses a chance to be admitted to an international university. But he does not lose his spirits and builds a company, Bollant Industries, that only hires specially-abled people. Actress Jyotika, who plays Srikanth's teacher in the movie, appears as his biggest ally in the trailer.

Recently, Rajkummar Rao shared a behind-the-scenes video from the movie set on his official social media platforms. The post gained a lot of love from fans. The video features the actor meeting Srikanth Bolla in person, with both sharing smiles and engaging in conversation, creating a heartwarming moment for viewers.

Sharing the video, the star wrote: "Behind The Scenes. Some special moments and heartfelt conversations from the sets of #Srikanth.” In the same caption, he revealed the release date of the eagerly-awaited trailer: April 9."

About the film - The movie is based on the life of Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla, who gained recognition as the founder of Bollant Industries, a pioneering enterprise that offers opportunities for unskilled and differently-abled individuals to manufacture eco-friendly products. Born visually impaired in 1992 in a small village near Hyderabad, India, Srikanth's story is one of remarkable perseverance and achievement. He was also the first international blind student to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The actor is still cherished for his performance alongside Sangita Ghosh in the show Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand, which aired from 2001 to 2005. Back then, there were rumours that Varun and Sangita were dating each other. Refuting all such rumours, Varun recently said that the duo were just “great friends” in a chat with Siddharth Kannan. When questioned about whether there was ever any romantic connection, the actor said, “Nahi hua tha. Agar hua hota to I had every opportunity to take it forward aur kyuki sab kuch to hamare favour me hi tha na. [It didn't happen. If it had, I had every opportunity to take it forward because everything was in our favour.] We were the romantic couple of Indian Television.” 

Varun Badola continued, “Aur hum log aisa nahi tha, party varty karte the saath me. Jitni baar milna julna hota tha, sab saath me ghum rahe fir rahe, sab kuch ho raha hai. [And we were not like that; we used to party together. Whenever we needed to meet, we were always together, roaming around together] But, we were great friends. And we were just friends and nothing else. Yeh cheez mai aaj bhi bolunga uske bare me. [This thing I would still say about her.]Because I give her almost all the credit for the chemistry that the two of us had.”

Talking about the perception that the duo's on-screen performances might have created, Varun Badola added, “Yeh to mujhe bahut logon ne pucha, ‘It is surprising ki tu aur Sangita how did you never had an affair?' And forget about that! ‘Ki tum logon ne kabhi yeh nahi socha ki shadi kar lein'. Kyuki bahut sare log uske baad aise the jinhone saath me kaam kiya and they decided to get married. Mai aur Sangu bahut ache dost hai aaj bhi. Hum log tab bhi bade acche dost the. [Many people have asked me this, ‘It's surprising that you and Sangita never had an affair.' And forget about that! ‘Have you never thought about getting married?' Because many people after working together decided to get married. Sangu and I are still very good friends. We were very good friends back then too.] So, this is the perception that probably our performances created.”

When asked whether his wife, actress Rajeshwari Sachdev ever felt insecure due to the dating rumours, Varun Badola replied, “Nahi nahi nahi. Uske doston ke saath usko dekhoge to mujhhse yeh puchoge ki tum insecure kyu nahi hote ho usko dekhke? Hum logo ne yeh ek cheez hum dono ke beech me relationship me hai hi nahi. [No, no, no. If you look at her friends, you'd ask me why I'm not insecure seeing her with them. The thing is, there was never such a thing between us in our relationship]... Hum logon ki relationship pe is cheez pe based hi nahi ki ki uski ladki ki taraf tume kaise dekha? [Our relationship isn't based on how did you even look at that girl.]”

Varun Badola was last seen in Akshay Kumar's film Mission Raniganj.

The Malayalam film Aadujeevitham or The Goat Life is directed by Blessy. The film is based on Benyamin's bestselling 2008 novel of the same name and tells the true story of Najeeb, an immigrant labourer from Kerala forced into slavery on a remote goat farm in a Middle Eastern country.

“I knew as an actor that this was a prerequisite, that to actually portray the entire character arc, I'd have to go through this drastic physical transformation of losing a lot of weight and looking very emaciated,” Sukumaran told Variety.

For the film, which was shot across Kerala, Jordan and Algeria, Prithviraj had to increase his weight to 98 kg for the Kerala part of the shoot and for the scenes where he first arrives in the Middle East. The production then paused for seven months while Sukumaran shed 31 kg.

“I surprised myself and everyone in the film crew, because when I landed up the next time in Jordan, I was almost unrecognisable,” Prithviraj Sukumaran said.

The actor did not bargain on Covid-19, which stalled the shoot immediately after a scene where his emaciated body was revealed, and the crew was stranded in locked-down Jordan for months.

They came back after a year and a half, during which the star had to regain weight just to stay healthy.

“But then I had to redo the whole thing. I didn't count on having to do the whole weight loss transformation process two times, which I ended up having to do, because it's a trap. Once you get to that level and you do a portion of the film, then it almost becomes like a thought process in your head. ‘No, I can't let it go'. I put in so much effort. I can't let all that go to waste,” he said.

“I know a lot of the (media) focus is on the physical transformation, but that is only a small part of the portrayal. At the very beginning, I had thought of the entire arc. And I had told Blessy that it was going to be impossible for me as an actor to look at it as one long, singular character,” Prithviraj Sukumaran said.

Up next for Prithviraj is filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar's actioner Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, where he plays the antagonist to Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.

Talking about the film, he said: “It's pretty much planned to be a franchise if things go well. You look at James Bond or ‘Mission Impossible', in each film, the actual story is the villain's and then the hero comes to save the world.”

Prithviraj shared that the crux of the film, the plot, is actually his character Kabir's story and because of that, the character arc is beautiful.

He said: “It's a very complex character. It's not your typical one-note bad guy. There is a past, there is a reason why he's wearing the mask, why his voice is that way. It was a really fun character to play. And I don't get offered to play these really cool bad guys very often.”

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' releases this week during the Eid frame.

During his appearance on the show Shan-e-Suhoor, the actor said, “Career-wise main peeche mud ke dekhta hun, Aashiqui (2) jaise film chodh di, sab kehte hai, ‘Aashiqui chodh di, itni badi film, aree Ram Leela tumne keh diya ki unko.' PK mein ho Sarfaraz wala role tha, Heeramandi jo abhi inki film aa rahi hai Sanjay Leela Bhansali ki, wo toh maine mana nahi ki thi, shelf ho gayi thi. Guzaarish ek film thi. [In terms of my career, I look back and see that I left behind a film like Aashiqui; everyone says, 'You left Aashiqui, such a big film, and also Ram Leela.' In PK, I was offered the role of Sarfaraz. Heeramandi, which is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film, I didn't reject that; it was shelved. Guzaarish was one film.]”

Talking about saying no to a big project like Aashiqui 2, Imran Abbas expressed, “Aashiqui sabse bada project tha. Ab toh har koi keh raha hota hai ki mujhe bhi Aashiqui offer huyi, aap Mahesh Bhatt se jake pooch lijiye that the only official offer made by that director, Mohit Suri and the producer, wo sirf mujhe hi unhone ki thi. [Aashiqui was the biggest project. Now everyone claims that they were offered Aashiqui, but you should go and ask Mahesh Bhatt. The only official offer made by the director, Mohit Suri, and the producer, was only made to me.]” 

He continued, “Lekin log mujhe ehsaas dilane ki kosish karte hai ki ye kya kar diya, wo toh itni badi film thi aur kaunsi film kar ke aa gaye, wo itni hit nahi huyi. Bhai please aap mujhe depress karne ki koshish na karein, main nahi hounga. [However, people try to make me feel like I made a mistake, that it was such a big film, and the film I did instead, didn't become such a big hit. Brother, please don't try to depress me; I won't let that happen.]”

Imran Abbas's last Indian project was the Punjabi film Jee Ve Sohneya Jee. The film featured Simi Chahal as the female lead.

Starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles, the film has maintained a steady momentum since its release on March 29. In its debut week, Crew amassed a total of Rs 43.75 crore. The film's success persisted into the second week, with earnings of Rs 3.75 crore on Day 8 and a notable surge to Rs 5.25 crore on Day 9, culminating the weekend with a total of Rs 9 crore.

Despite a slight decline in collections on Day 11, with earnings reaching Rs 1.75 crore on Monday, the film's total collection stands at Rs 60 crore, according to Sacnilk. Crew has also accumulated over Rs 105 crore worldwide, with an impressive Rs 39 crore from international markets.

Tu muh dho [I don't care about the pillow. Wash your face.]” Later, Billy jokes that if Tamannaah doesn't wash her face, the video will be posted on social media. In her caption, Tamannaah asked, “Should this be acceptable Sunday behaviour?”

Responding to the post, actress Shraddha Kapoor wrote, “This is compulsory Sunday behaviour.” Actor Ali Fazal and celebrity fitness coach Kiran Dembla posted red hearts. Fans were also gushing about Tamannaah's overloaded cuteness in the video. Many reacted with comments such as “cute”, “wow”, and “adorable.”

On the work front, Tamannaah Bhatia will soon be seen in Vedaa alongside John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh. A few weeks ago, we caught a glimpse of the trailer which begins with Sharvari Wagh in the titular role. The opening frame features Vedaa raising her voice against an unjust system that mistreats people. The video sheds light on troubling moments where men are seen mistreating innocent women. In her quest for justice, Vedaa seeks a companion, and John Abraham's character emerges as her strong ally. He asserts confidently, "Jhagadna nahi aata mujhe. Sirf jang ladni aati hai [I don't know how to argue, I only know how to fight]."

The teaser unfolds with John Abraham confronting Abhishek Banerjee's character, who portrays a corrupt politician in the film. The action-packed sequences showcase John taking a stand against immoral individuals. Additionally, the teaser shows a romantic angle between John Abraham and Tamannaah's characters. 

Check out the teaser shared on Tamannaah Bhatia's Instagram profile below:

Tamannaah Bhatia last appeared in the Malayalam film Bandra.

It so happened that Hrithik Roshan watched Kunal Kemmu's film Lootcase on Sunday and immediately after watching the film, left a wonderful note for the actor. He wrote, "I just saw Lootcase. Loved it !! Kunal Khemu is such a brilliant actor. Been hearing rave reviews for his Madgaon Express as well. But Lootcase is just terrific. My belated congratulations to its director Rajesh Krishnan and all the actors and entire team! What a fun film.”

Kunal Kemmu responded to his high praise and replied, “This was such a happy surprise to read.. thank you so much.”

For the unversed, in Lootcase, Kunal Kemmu plays the role of a middle class Mumbaikar, who finds a suitcase full of cash on a deserted street.

Take a look at their exchange below:

On the work front, Kunal Kemmu recently made his directorial debut with Madgaon Express. The film stars Pratik Gandhi, Divyendu and Avinash Tiwary with Nora Fatehi.

For his NDTV review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Madgaon Express 3 out of 5 stars and said, “Madgaon Express is one rigmarole that never seems close to overstaying its welcome, with even the post-climax scenes - they interrupt the end credits in a novel, cockeyed fashion - springing loads of surprises and forcing the audience to hang on until it is all done and dusted.”

The film experienced a dip in its box office collection during its first weekend. On day 3, the romantic-drama collected ₹3 crore rupees, according to a Sacnilk report. So far, the Parasuram directorial has garnered ₹ 11.95 crore, the report added. Released in Tamil and Telugu, the film revolves around the story of Govardhan (played by Vijay Deverakonda), a middle-class young architect who works for a small company. He is seen in the film alongside Mrunal Thakur. The Family Star has been backed by Sri Venkateswara Creations.

A few days ago, Vijay Deverakonda shared a video on Instagram for his real-life family star - his father, Deverakonda Govardhan Rao. The actor posted a video featuring pictures of the father-son duo with the words, "My Family Star. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. From my first steps as a baby, till every step I take today, I know you're standing behind me and watching over me. You struggled, so I never have to. You sacrificed your happiness so that I could be happy. You are my first best friend. You are my first hero. You are my strength." He added, "If I ever hurt you or let you down, forgive me. Know that I love you. Making you proud will be my biggest success, and you will forever be My Family Star."

The note attached to the post read, "My hero. My Star. Life is full of highs and lows and I do not know what it holds in store. But I work every day to make you proud and happy. I love you, my Superstar. We made Family Star to celebrate the stars in our lives, sharing with you a little flashback of the man who I made this movie for. I dedicate this movie to every Man/Woman/Boy/Girl fighting for their family. Lots of love, Your man. Vijay."

Before that, Vijay Deverakonda opened up about his experience of working alongside Mrunal Thakur in The Family Star. In a chat with Galatta Plus, he said, “When you have an intelligent actress with you, it is very easy. Mrunal has been acting even before I started dreaming of films. She has been working from a young age. She picks up things very fast. I keep telling her that she is blessed with a face. Even if she doesn't too much, you can feel the emotions. The geometry of her nose, lips and eyes… there's something about it that the emotions come through well even if she doesn't know the language. It was very easy to work with her.”

Director Responds https://noidamirror.com/alia-bhatt-to-star-in-gurinder-chadhas-disney-film-director-responds https://noidamirror.com/alia-bhatt-to-star-in-gurinder-chadhas-disney-film-director-responds Director Gurinder Chadha's recent post on X (formerly Twitter) is aimed at setting the record straight. A few days ago, a newspaper reported that Alia Bhatt would be collaborating with the director for an upcoming Disney movie. Now, Gurinder Chadha has refuted these rumours by sharing a picture of the actress with the text, “This is NOT TRUE. NOT SURE WHERE THIS STARTED. THE SCRIPT IS STILL IN THE WORKS. ALIA AND I HAD A MEETING BOUT ANOTHER PROJECT AND I ATTENDED HER CHARITY GALA RECENTLY. “ In the same post, the director also included the headline that she was quashing. It read, “Alia Bhatt to star in Gurinder Chadha's next, backed by Disney?”

The rumours of Alia Bhatt joining hands with Gurinder Chadha started when the director attended the actress' Hope Gala in London. Alia Bhatt hosted a charity event to support the Salaam Bombay Foundation in raising funds for underprivileged children. The filmmaker also posted a video on Instagram from the event, featuring singer Harshdeep Kaur singing the song Lal Meri Pat Rakhiyo Bhala Jhoole Lalan. Alongside the post, Gurinder wrote, “Wonderful evening for Salaam Bombay Foundation charity.”

She also tagged Harshdeep and used the hashtag “aaliabhatt” in her caption.

Soon after the event, a Mid-Day report quoted a source as saying: “The two have been in talks for a while. The final casting will happen only after the script is developed, but Alia is among the top casting choices.” 

The source continued, “After playing a singer in Bhansali's period drama (Love & War) and an undercover agent in Rawail's movie, a Disney princess will be a great addition to Alia's repertoire. Leading the big-budget international project will also be a step forward towards making her presence felt in Hollywood after Heart of Stone [2023]. If things fall in place, she will kick off work with Gurinder in the second half of 2025.” But with Gurinder Chadha quashing these claims, it appears that fans will have to wait a little longer for Alia's next big Hollywood project. 

Gurinder Chadha is best known for her projects like Bend It Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice. The director has been signed by Disney to create an original musical revolving around an Indian princess. Alia Bhatt will be next seen in Jigra and Love & War.

The actor has shared a note putting an end to all the rumours of him joining politics. He wrote, “I would like to put all rumours about me joining politics to rest. I am not joining any party or contesting elections. If I do decide to step into the political arena then I will be the first one to announce it. Please refrain from believing what is being circulated in the news about me as of now.” This post comes amid rumours suggesting that the veteran star might contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as a Congress candidate from Karnal.

Sanjay Dutt's father, Sunil Dutt was a big name in cinema as well as Indian politics. He joined Congress in 1984 and remained a Member of the Parliament for five terms until he died in 2005.

Over the last few years, Sanjay Dutt has dedicated his time to big-budget movies across languages. His recent dream run is extra special because, in August 2020, Sanjay Dutt was diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer. Last year, the actor recalled the moment when he received the tragic news. In an interview with ETimes, he said, “I had a backache and was treated with hot water bottles and painkillers until one day I couldn't breathe. I was taken to the hospital but the thing was that the cancer news was not broken to me properly. My wife, my family or my sisters, nobody was around me at that time. I was all alone and suddenly this guy comes and tells me, 'You have cancer'.”

Sanjay Dutt continued, "My wife was in Dubai, so Priya (sister Priya Dutt) came to me. My first reaction was that, once you hear something like this, your whole life reflects back at you. I have a history of cancer in my family. My mom died of pancreatic cancer; my wife died of brain cancer. So, the first thing I said was that I don't want to take chemotherapy. Let it be. If I'm supposed to die, I will just die but I don't want any treatment.”

In October 2020, Sanjay Dutt shared a note on X to announce that he is cancer-free. An excerpt from his note reads: "And today, on the occasion of my kids' birthday, I am happy to come out victorious from this battle and be able to give them the best gift I can- the health and well-being of our family."

On the work front, Sanjay Dutt was last seen in Tamil film Leo.

At the same time, Ananya Panday emphasised the importance of setting boundaries. She mentioned, “But it's up to us to draw the line to protect what's important as much as we can, and that's what I try to do. I can't get upset about it because it's a part of my profession. I can only control whatever is in my power.”

The actress, who primarily portrayed negative roles during her younger days, was rumoured to be married to the legendary comedian Mehmood. However, in a recent chat with Zoom, the actors refuted the rumours and clarified that they were just “good friends,” with Aruna even labelling Mehmood as her “guru.” She said, "We did a lot of films together. We were very good friends, hum bahut acche dost the [We were very good friends]. At that time Mumtaz became a heroine and Shubha Khote got married. The makers called girls to work opposite him and they selected me. Usually, it takes time to get tuning right in comedy. Comedy is difficult but I learnt a lot from him. He was my guru, he taught me timing."

Aruna Irani opened up about how she stopped getting films due to the rumours of her marrying Mehmood. She added, "Two of my films Caravan and Bombay To Goa - both were running in theatres and both were jubilee and I got a lot of praise for them... But I didn't get work (afterwards). And this was because there were rumours that I had married Mehmood. But there was nothing like that. We also were fools not to clear it out. We should have called the media and cleared it. We were friends but nothing else and because of that rumour my track got changed in the Hindi film industry."

There was also an incident where Mehmood's wife asked him to stop working with Aruna Irani, the actress shared. She also recalled Mehmood telling her, “Bahut jhagde ho rahe hai, isliye hum kaam nahi kar skte [Too many fights are happening. That's why we can not work together],” and she expressed her acceptance of the decision. "Prabhu ne phir doosre raaste khol diye [After that, God opened more doors for me]," Aruna added.

In the same interview, Aruna Irani shared why she kept her wedding with Kuku Kohli a secret and discussed the couple's decision not to have kids. She said, "I didn't tell anyone about our marriage because he was a married man. I don't know where this stupid news came from that I was not aware of his first marriage. His wife would come on the sets along with the kids. I knew about it. It was a tough decision to make. Somehow we got married. It was not a right decision for us to not have kids. But he fought the world to marry me."

Aruna Irani started her acting career in 1958 with the film Shikwa. She also appeared in many hits of the golden era such as Patthar Ke Sanam, Aan Milo Sajna, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, Jaani Dushman, Ghar Ek Mandir, and more.

He was 83.

According to the family, Gangu Ramsay had been battling health issues for the past month.

"With profound sadness, we announce the passing of one of the Ramsay Brothers, the legendary cinematographer, filmmaker, producer and the second eldest son of F.U. Ramsay, Gangu Ramsay. He departed from us early this morning at 8 am, at the age of 83, after battling health issues for the past month. He was admitted in Kokilaben Hospital," the family said in a statement.

Gangu Ramsay is survived by daughter Geeta Ramsay and son Chander Ramsay.

The last rites took place at the Oshiwara Crematorium at 2 pm today, the family added.

Under the Ramsay Brothers banner, established by patriarch FU Ramsay, Gangu Ramsay lent his creative vision to over 50 iconic films, including "Veerana", "Purana Mandir", "Bandh Darwaza", "Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche", and "Khoj" starring Rishi Kapoor.

Ramsay Brothers became synonymous with the genre and went on to make a string of B-grade films in the decade of 1970s and 1980s, featuring zombies, vampires, werewolves, reanimated corpses and snowmen. The films were widely popular for their unique mix of horror and erotica.

According to Amborish Roychoudhury's book “In A Cult of Their Own: Bollywood Beyond Box Office”, the 1972 horror film “Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche” was a great starting point for Ramsay Brothers and the Indian horror film industry.

The filmmaking departments were split among the seven brothers — Kumar Ramsay wrote the script, Kiran Ramsay was in charge of sound, Gangu Ramsay manned the camera, Keshu Ramsay assisted on cinematography, while doubling up as the production guy, while Arjun Ramsay handled post-production and editing. Tulsi Ramsay and Shyam Ramsay were to direct the film, says the book.

Gangu Ramsay also served as cinematographer on "Aashiq Awara", one of Saif Ali Khan's initial movies. He also collaborated with Akshay Kumar in various "Khiladi" films such as "Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi", "Sabse Bada Khiladi", "Mr and Mrs Khiladi" as well as veteran Kannada actor Vishnuvardhan.

The late cinematographer also worked in television, with shows such as "The Zee Horror Show", "Saturday Suspense", "X Zone" and "Nagin" to his credit. PTI KKP RDS RDS RDS

On Friday, the two paid a visit to Star Sports' special show for the IPL game between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Now, Ajay Devgn has shared a post in which he can be seen playing cricket in “Maidaan” alongside former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh. In one of the pictures, the two are seen in action. In his caption, Ajay Devgn gave a subtle shoutout to his film. He wrote, “At another Maidaan today, but the passion remains the same!”

Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif, who is one of the experts on the show, also shared pictures with team Maidaan on Instagram. In the photos, Mohammad Kaif, Harbhajan Singh, Ajay Devgn, and Priyamani can be seen posing for the camera. Alongside the album, Mohammad Kaif picked lines of the song  Kar Har Maidaan Fateh  from the 2018 film Sanju and wrote, “Kar Har Maidaan Fateh. Wish Ajay Devgn and Priyamani all the best for their upcoming film Maidaan.”

At the trailer launch event of Maidaan, Ajay Devgn talked about his film's clash with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Both the films will release on April 10. While addressing the box office clash, the actor said, “I would not call it a clash. If you call it clash, then it means that two films should not be released on the same day. But there are times when you have to do this.” “Both films are of different genres. We are all like a family, we are friends. We are not looking at it like a clash, we are looking at it like a big weekend and both the films will do well," Ajay Devgn added.

At the same event, Ajay Devgn also discussed how Maidaan challenged him as an actor. He shared, “After 1983 (referring to India's win in the Cricket World Cup), football was lost somewhere. I was amazed that this happened in our country. We had Amit Sharma (director), who did extensive research.”

Ajay Devgn continued, “I would not call it just a sports film. It has got so much drama. As an actor, it was a film with so many layers. It is very strong in its emotional drama, apart from sports. After a long time, I had fun doing a film like this. I thoroughly enjoyed it."

In addition to Ajay Devgn and Priyamani, Maidaan also stars Gajraj Rao and Rudranil Ghosh.

The news was shared by the streaming giant Netflix and the makers of the series on Instagram as they unveiled the character posters of the Nawabs of Heeramandi - Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah Badussha, Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman. Adhyayan Suman, who will be featuring alongside his dad Shekhar, has now opened up on how he came aboard the Sanjay Leela Bhansali show. Talking to News18, the Raaz – The Mystery Continues actor said, "I got a call from Shruti Mahajan (casting director) to audition for Zorawar's character. I was celebrating my parents' marriage anniversary somewhere in the Himalayas. I got the call when I was travelling there. At one o'clock in the afternoon, I was told that Mr Bhansali would be seeing my audition at three. Somehow, I managed to stop the car in the middle of the mountains and make an audition clip sitting in the car,” he recalls.

He continued, “I begged, borrowed and stole some network from people and sent the tape. Unfortunately, I didn't get the role. To be honest, if I had auditioned and not gotten the part in any other filmmaker's film or series, I would just let it pass. But this was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's show and it's every actor's dream to work with him. So, I was extremely disappointed that it didn't work out for me.”

 “My father always tells me that if something is meant to be, it will be and nobody can snatch anything away that's destined to happen. The shoot of Heeramandi started with the other characters. Two days before they were supposed to start shoot with the actor who was supposed to play Zorawar, he was suddenly asked to leave and I was brought in. It's just outstanding how it all happened,” Adhyayan summed up.

Earlier, Adhyayan Suman announced in his Instagram post that he has joined the cast of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi. He wrote in an extensive post, "It took me 15 years to feel validated as an actor! To be having to play not one but two primary characters Heeramandi is something I could only dream of! For me Mr Bhansali is no less than God, someone I never imagined I would be working with! The biggest filmmaker in the country a maverick beyond excellence! His praise for me is bigger than an Oscar."

He posted a picture with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and added in his caption, "It was my mother's dream! What a journey it has been! To be able to act, direct, sing, write, I can't ask for more."

Heeramandi will showcase the story of the courtesans of Lahore and will explore the lesser-known aspects of their lives. It will be set in pre-independent India.

In a chat with news agency ANI, the actor opened up about how he, despite being a teetotaler, hosted parties almost every day at his Juhu bungalow for B-town's biggest stars including Sunil Dutt, Raaj Kumar, Sanjay Khan, Feroz Khan, Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha, and more. The veteran actor said, “My parents lived in Delhi and I lived in Juhu, so everyone would gather there in the evening. There were no inhibitions or formalities or whatever.” Ranjeet also explained how actresses used to cook various delicacies at these get-togethers. “Reena Roy would make paranthas, Parveen Babi would make drinks, Moushumi Chatterjee would make fish, Neetu Kapoor would make bhindi, it used to be that kind of atmosphere,” he added.

Ranjeet also revealed, “People like Rajesh Khanna would drink one-two bottles in one night,” and mentioned that by the time Ranjeet would come home after working multiple shifts, the party would already be in full swing. He further expressed, “I was blessed. I believe that the house that welcomes guests is blessed by god. I had enough space in my bungalow to entertain people. There was enough staff also.”

Ranjeet highlighted his ability to juggle multiple shifts, even amidst these fun late-night parties. He shared that several lead actors would often wake up late, around 2 pm, despite having a 10 am shift, enabling him to engage in several projects concurrently. This flexibility allowed the actor to pursue multiple opportunities simultaneously, he shared.

In the same interview, Ranjeet also shared that in the past, there were no dedicated dialogues written for villain roles. The attention was squarely on the lead actors. “The [villain's] dialogues were spontaneous and impromptu. I came up with those lines on my own. There were no dialogues written for villains, they were only meant for heroes and heroines,” he shared. 

Speaking about today's films and shows, the veteran actor said: "If you see today's film, it appears as if they've removed the original scenes and replaced them with item numbers and molestation scenes. Back in the day, Bindu and Helen performed cabaret dance in films, but they were extremely graceful. Waheeda Rehman ji's dance sequence in Guide was so elegant...” 

Ranjeet has been a part of several 70s and 80s hit films such as Gaddaar, Aap Ki Kasam, Haath Ki Safai, Aakhri Insaaf, Khoon Aur Paani, among others.

I wanted something deeper. I wanted something where I could just show my potential as an actor way more. I always say this that as an actor "Aapko jitna ghada milega, utna hi aap bhar sakte ho. Agar aapko chota vessel diya jayega toh usme aap utna hi paani bhar sakte ho. Agar aapko bada diya jayega toh aap aur bhar sakte ho (You can only fill a vessel with as much as it holds. If it's small, you can only pour in so much water. If it's big, you can pour in more.) So I was looking for that bada vessel for a very long time.”

She added, “I was getting frustrated because I was like, I know I can do it; I know I can kill it, but I don't have it in front of me. At that point, I was also seeing some new faces, some of them belonging to the film background, coming in having not done anything and getting opportunities that I was like, how.…”

A few days ago, she exchanged rings with her longtime boyfriend, actor Siddharth. In addition to their engagement, rumours have been circulating that the couple secretly got married. Recently, Aditi was spotted at the airport, where a pap congratulated her on the wedding saying, “Shaadi ki bahut-bahut mubarak ma'am [Many congratulations for the wedding ma'am.]” To dispel the rumours, the actress quickly replied, “Nahi hui hai abhi [It has not happened yet.]”

Check out the video below:

Meanwhile, at the recent Galatta Golden Stars event, Aditi Rao Hydari's fiance, Siddharth also talked about people calling their engagement "secret". He said, “Many people said we had done this in secret. There's a significant difference between doing something privately with family and doing something secretly. Those whom we didn't invite are calling it a secret, but it was a private ceremony for those whom we know. The next steps depend on our elders because this isn't like scheduling a shooting date that I can decide on. This is a lifetime commitment. So, when they decide, it will happen naturally."

When Siddharth was questioned about the duration it took for his fiancé to accept the proposal, he responded, "These questions about how much time it took shouldn't be asked. The end result must be either yes or no. I'll see whether the result is pass or fail. I've never seen how many marks I'll score. I was in tension whether it would be a yes or a no and my name was in the pass list."

“The wedding date will depend on the elders (of the family) and what they say. It isn't like a shooting date I can decide on, it's a lifetime date. It will happen at the right time once they decide,” Siddharth added, while talking about the date of the wedding.

Aditi Rao Hydari's upcoming project Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar will be released on Netflix on May 1. Meanwhile, Siddharth was last seen in Tamil film Chithha.

On day 10, the chick flick amassed ₹5.27 crore, according to a Sacnilk report. So far, the heist-comedy has collected a total of ₹ 58.50 crore at the domestic box office. Released on March 29, the movie has been directed by Rajesh A Krishnan. Crew revolves around the story of three air hostesses who haven't been paid for over 6 months. Their fate takes a turn when they begin smuggling gold to another country. However, their happiness is short-lived as the story takes another unexpected twist. The film stars Kareena Kapoor as Jasmine Kohli, Tabu as Geeta Sethi, and Kriti Sanon as Divya Rana.

On Sunday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted a note on X (formerly known as Twitter) to share day 9 box office figures of Crew. He wrote, “#Crew emerges a HIT… Biz shoots up on [second] Sat, a strong number on Sun will help it cross ₹ 60 cr mark… The Sat jump is without #Buy1Get1 free ticket incentive, a clear indicator that it has found acceptance from its target audience. [Week 2] Fri 3.85 cr, Sat 5.40 cr. Total: ₹ 56.79 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

He further added, “#Crew faces #BMCM and #Maidaan on Wed [10 April]… It ought to have prominent showcasing at urban centres mainly, since its lifetime biz will be dependent on how much it accumulates in the face of competition.”

Before Crew's release, director Rajesh A Krishnan shared that the friendship between the leading trio – Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu, was not merely limited to the big screen. The filmmaker also mentioned that there were no ego clashes among the stars. In a conversation with News18 Showsha, Rajesh stated, “If it (ego problem) did happen, I wasn't aware of it. Even if there was ego play, I didn't see any because most of my focus was on work. I didn't feel the need to get involved in small talk. Neither did I encourage any of that nor was I pulled into it. Tabu, Kareena and Kriti are all stars who came on board and they knew pretty much what they were getting into.”

Rajesh A Krishnan continued, “I saw they had a lot of respect for each other. There was a lot of chatting going on and I had to stop them saying, ‘Okay, children, the shot is ready.' I almost had to tell them to stop messing and fooling around (laughs).” 

Crew also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma. The movie has been backed collectively by Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Purohit under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films & Communication Network.

In the film, Sobhita portrays the character of a sex worker named Sita, who caters to powerful and morally questionable men. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Sobhita discussed her approach to portraying characters on the fringes of society. The actress expressed, “Those are really beautifully complex humans. To be considered someone who can be trusted with characters like that is really an honour… If something inspires me or there's some value I can bring to the story, I want to belong with it." 

Monkey Man marks the directorial debut of Dev Patil, who also plays the lead role in the movie. When asked whether working with a first-time director was a risky decision, Sobhita Dhulipala shared her perspective, saying, “It's a different kind of relationship altogether. There's trust, fear, vulnerability, and you move as one pack, one team. There's a certain purity and passion there — working with a first-time filmmaker. So I came on board, I jumped on board.”

A few days ago, Sobhita Dhulipala shared a series of pictures from Monkey Man's premiere on Instagram. In the initial frame, Sobhita was standing next to Dev Patil. While Sobhita was wearing a Gaurav Gupta gown, Dev opted for a formal outfit. Then, we saw an image of the big screen with Monkey Man's poster. Apart from that, there were more photos of Sobhita enjoying the event with the film's cast. In her caption, the actress shared a sweet note for Dev Patil. She wrote, “So much love for this fellow right here. Look what you made, kid :) Monkey Man out now, in theatres worldwide.” 

Monkey Man was released on March 11. The film revolves around the story of a young man who loses his mother during childhood. After growing up, he joins an underground club where he engages in fights wearing a gorilla mask. He seeks revenge for his mother's death and targets the wealthy who oppress the less privileged. In addition to Dev Patil and Sobhita Dhulipala, the film also stars Sikandar Kher in a key role.

"When I was in character, it was affecting my personality a lot. We shouldn't over-romanticise going too deep into a character, because it is not easy. At times, it used to get really dark for me. I felt suffocated. It's so tricky that you don't even realise that you are in that zone. It's only when you come out of it do you realise how dark it was", he added.

For the unversed, in an unexpected twist, at the end of the second season of the crime drama, Munna Tripathi was killed.

The first look of Mirzapur 3 was announced at a grand event on March 19. The special announcement was made in the presence of the stellar star cast including Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi and Shweta Tripathi, among others.

In the video shared on Instagram, Bonita can be heard saying, “Mera naam Bonita Rajpurohit hai aur mai Rajasthan se belong karti hu…Shuruaat se hi maine jab apne baare mein jaana, vo jaana filmon ke zariye. Jab mai filmon me kabhi apne jaisa koi insaan dekhti thi, mujhe lagta tha ki haan, yeh insaan mere jaisa hai aur meri kahaani bhi matter karti hai. [My name is Bonita Rajpurohit, and I belong to Rajasthan. Since the beginning, I have discovered myself through movies. Whenever I saw someone like myself in films, I felt that yes, this person is like me and my story matters too].”

Talking about her motivation, Bonita Rajpurohit expressed, “Mere liye sabse bada motivation vahi raha hai [The biggest motivation for me was] to see women like me on screen, to see trans representation on screen.” 

“Mai ek chote se production house me kaam karti thi, jaha meri salary 10 se 15 hazaar tak thi. Aur usme guzara karna bhi bahut mushkil ho jata tha. Maine sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki mujhe acting ka koi role milega. Aur yaha jaakar mujhe actually ek Bollywood film me lead kirdar nibhane ko mila hai. [I used to work in a small production house where my salary ranged from 10 to 15 thousand rupees, and making ends meet was very difficult. I never even dreamed that I would get a role in acting.

The couple got engaged in a private ceremony a few days ago, which many people even labelled as a "secret engagement." To clarify the situation, Siddharth spoke about it at the Galatta Golden Stars event. The actor mentioned, “Many people said we had done this in secret. There's a significant difference between doing something privately with family and doing something secretly. Those whom we didn't invite are calling it a secret, but it was a private ceremony for those whom we know. The next steps depend on our elders because this isn't like scheduling a shooting date that I can decide on. This is a lifetime commitment. So, when they decide, it will happen naturally."

When asked about how much time Aditi Rao Hydari took to say yes to the proposal, Siddharth replied, "These questions about how much time it took shouldn't be asked. The end result must be either yes or no. I'll see whether the result is pass or fail. I've never seen how many marks I'll score. I was in tension whether it would be a yes or a no and my name was in the pass list."

Talking about the date of their marriage, Siddharth added, “The wedding date will depend on the elders (of the family) and what they say. It isn't like a shooting date I can decide on, it's a lifetime date. It will happen at the right time once they decide.”

A few days ago, both Siddharth and Aditi Rao Hydari announced their engagement on Instagram by posting similar notes. Alongside the text, we could see the duo flaunting their engagement rings. Did we hear “cute” already?

On the work front, Aditi Rao Hydari will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's OTT debut Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The series releasing on Netflix on May 1 also features Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Manisha Koirala, and Sharmin Segal in pivotal roles.

Karisma Kapoor shared a picture with her girl gang on Instagram, on Monday night. Kareena Kapoor's sister-in-law Saba Ali Khan commented on the post, "The Real Crew." Check out the photos here:

Meanwhile Kareena's film Crew collected ₹ 5.25 crore, according to a Sacnilk report. So far, the Rajesh A Krishnan-directed film has amassed a total of ₹ 52.7 crores at the domestic box office. Released on March 29, Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma also make special appearances in the movie. Crew revolves around the lives of three friends working as cabin crew members for Kohinoor Airlines, whose peaceful routine is disrupted when they find themselves entangled in a smuggling scheme.

On day 9, the heist-comedy collected ₹ 5.25 crore, according to a Sacnilk report. So far, the Rajesh A Krishnan-directed film has amassed a total of ₹ 52.7 crores at the domestic box office. Released on March 29, the film stars Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma also make special appearances in the movie. Crew revolves around the lives of three friends working as cabin crew members for Kohinoor Airlines, whose peaceful routine is disrupted when they find themselves entangled in a smuggling scheme.

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh also shared a note on X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce Crew entering the 50 crore club. He wrote, “#Crew flies past ₹ 50 cr mark… The #Buy1Get1 free ticket offer on [second] Fri proves beneficial… Fri [3.85 cr] is higher than Wed [3.30 cr] and Thu [3.12 cr]… All eyes on Sat - Sun biz, the numbers should witness an upward trend. [Week 2] Fri 3.85 cr. Total: ₹ 51.39 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

In an NDTV review, Saibal Chatterjee gave Crew 2 out of 5 stars and said, “The positives first. Yes, there are a few, not the least of which is Kareena Kapoor, who turns the clock back a bit and lets her hair down without a care in the world. She comes up trumps. Tabu, too, rises above the din despite being saddled with a rather sketchily delineated character who has to carry much of the film's weight on her shoulders.”

He continued, “That apart, at a time when a segment of Bollywood is busy foisting selective history lessons and polarizing propaganda movies upon us, a heist film out to deliver some harmless fun without an agenda, not even a feminist one (which would be in order anyway), should be lauded for being what it is - an unapologetic caper about the rich robbing the nation and three representatives of a struggling middle class seeking to pay the wealthy back in their own coin.”

Crew has been collectively backed by Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Purohit under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films & Communication Network.

Latest and Breaking News on NDTV

On the work front, Nushrratt Bharuccha was last seen in Akelli. In the film, the actress played the role of Jyoti, who gets stuck in Iraq and tries to come back to India. Talking about her character in the film, Nushrratt told PTI, “I find that journey and that story of how she gets saved by someone also very interesting. It's just about the story... If the story appeals to me, I'm happy to be a damsel in distress and (wait for) a hero coming and saving me. It's absolutely fine.”

"How she is stuck, where she's stuck and how she's trying to go back to her loved ones in India... In such situations, somebody would've given up. They would have said it is daunting and too big a thing. But she fought for it. So her entire story was very interesting to do," Nushrratt Bharuccha added.

Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his NDTV review for Akelli, wrote, “Akelli focusses squarely on the story of Jyoti Arora and how the girl from a small north Indian town ends up in Mosul. Sacked from her job as a member of the ground staff at an airport after an altercation with a badly-behaved passenger, Jyoti is compelled to accept the position of a factory supervisor in a war zone.”

He continued, “On landing in Mosul, she witnesses an unwilling suicide bomber, a petrified pre-teen girl, blow herself up in the middle of a road. That is only the first of several explosions that occur in Akelli. Jyoti struggles to surmount the trauma of the opening encounter with a bit of help from her manager, Rafeeq (Nishant Dahiya), but even bigger trouble erupts even before she can settle into her job.”

In addition to Akelli, Nushrratt Bharuccha has appeared in Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and Pyaar Ka Punchnama.

Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is the son of the legendary actor and producer Sukumaran, recently shared his perspective on the ongoing nepotism debate. He acknowledged his privileges and admitted that his entry into the industry was largely facilitated by his family name. Prithviraj Sukumaran also spoke about his relationship with fellow actor Dulquer Salmaan, both being scions of prominent Malayalam film families. For the unversed, Dulquer Salmaan is the son of veteran Malayalam actor Mammootty. Speaking with Mashable India, Prithviraj remarked, "In Kerala, Dulquer and I live quite close to each other, and we are all well Nepo kids."

Weighing on the nepotism debate, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, "I have had it easy to come into the industry. I got my first film only because of my surname. Someone thought I would make a good lead actor because I was so and so's son. I wasn't even screen-tested. I owe my first film only to my surname, nothing else."

"But I owe only my first film to my surname because, in cinema, the thing is, you could be anybody's son or daughter, but you're being evaluated by the public that coming Friday. If you're not good enough, you're not good enough, that's it. You can't be protected. You can't be protected by the board of directors. You are out there to be judged by the public and you'll have to face them. But having said that, I repeat, yes, I've had it easy to get into the industry, Prithviraj added."

Prithviraj's performance in Aadujeevitham has garnered widespread acclaim. Adapted from Benyamin's acclaimed Malayalam novel from 2008, the film is directed by Blessy. Prithviraj's upcoming projects include Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, alongside Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff.

Rasha, who is quite active on Instagram, believes social media can be "biggest motivator" or "greatest demotivator". Talking about the role social media plays in her life, Rasha said, "For me, social media is just a fun way of expressing who I am. But, it is important to understand self-love and self-care to the fullest first, because social media, as a whole, is something that can be either your best friend or your worst enemy-it can be your biggest motivator or your greatest demotivator."

When asked about if she gets affected by trolls and online negativity, Rasha said, "I am a little stronger that way-I feel lucky I haven't been trolled all that much (yet). I follow this saying: If your day is a 100%, and something affects 3% of it, don't let the other 97% get affected as well. If something (like trolling) happens, I believe in processing it, feeling bad for a bit, then forgetting about it, and moving on."

She added, "I meditate constantly as it is good for my mental health. When you sit with yourself, respect your own feelings and thoughts, it makes you a stronger person."

Rasha, who often shares posts with mother Raveena Tandon, said she has come to terms with the media attention and she is "pretty chill" about it nowadays. Rasha said, "While growing up, mom tried to keep us away from the spotlight, and I was grateful that we were not exposed to pap culture at the time. I was 17 when I was papped alone-it took me time to warm up but now I am pretty chill. With the increased amount of social media platforms, it is hard to keep away from it. Obviously, social media isn't our work-while it can be fun, it can also be nasty."

Rasha celebrated her 19th birthday a couple of days ago. Sharing the pictures from the celebrations, Rasha wrote, "Thankyou for all the love." Take a look:

Rasha graduated from Mumbai's Dhirubhai Ambani International School. She is reportedly to make her debut soon under Abhishek Kapoor's production.

With films like Ilzaam, Khudgar, Hatya Taaqatwar, Hum Sath Sath Hain and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in her kitty, she took Bollywood by storm with her graceful presence. However, one day, she broke the hearts of several fans as she decided to move away from films. While away from the world of cinema, Neelam ventured into her family business of jewellery and established her name as a successful businesswoman. Surprisingly, four years ago, she made a long-awaited return to the screen with the reality show Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and is now very active in the entertainment industry.

Speaking with ANI, Neelam reflected on her journey, revealing she left the industry as she thought her shelf life in cinema was over but now she is casting her belief aside and proving that "age is just a number."

"My journey has been like a yo-yo...you know, I saw a big start in the 80s and 90s, then, you know, I left the industry. And then I started my own business, my family's jewellery business and then I came back with a bang with 'Fabulous Lives'. It's been incredible. I am very fortunate to have these opportunities come my way. So, my journey in a nutshell, I would just say that it's been a roller coaster ride. I have seen ups and downs as well. I've seen everything," she said.

"I'll be honest...I left the industry because I thought my shelf life was over. And honestly, when I hit 50 I got very complacent, just going to the office and coming back home being a mom, being a wife and being a working mom. And all of a sudden, you know, I'm back, you know, with a bang...so it shows age is just a number," Neelam added.

Neelam took a break from the acting profession when she was at the peak of her career. "I left when I was at the top and I feel that that's how people have sort of somehow remembered me also because I didn't fizzle out," she expressed.

Neelam's most recent work project includes Audible's podcast series 'Marvel's Wastelanders: Wolverine. Neelam has lent her voice to the character of Jean Grey.

Sharing her experience working on the audio series, she said, "I am not so much of a science fiction fan. So this whole universe, and this whole Marvel series is very new to me...and as someone who's creative, I definitely wanted to get into this medium as well...it's another world altogether. I actually finished it in a breeze and the whole team was so sort of encouraging and helpful. And I actually had a blast. I felt like I was transported into another world. So for me, it was just I was so excited."

In the coming months, she will be seen in the third season of Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.

From posting videos of her yoga sessions to food albums, the actress keeps her Instagram family hooked. Recently, Malaika shared a set of photos featuring a “no-filter” side of herself. In the snaps, the star can be seen enjoying some relaxing “me time” in what looks like a farmhouse. She is standing on a porch with a beautiful lush background. For her day out, Malaika picked a white kurta set with Kohlrabi chappal. The text attached to the post read, “No filter me…” Check out the post shared by Malaika Arora here:

Last month, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Malaika Arora talked about her divorce from actor Arbaaz Khan. The duo got married in 1997 and parted ways in 2017. The two continue to co-parent their son, Arhaan Khan. She said, “When I decided to get divorced, I don't think there were too many women in the industry getting divorced and moving on. I felt, for me, for my personal growth, my choice, I had to feel okay within if I had to make my kid happy and make my kid flourish in his space. So, that's what I did.”

Malaika Arora also talked about how a publication mentioned the cost of the outfit and linked it with the alimony amount. “Somebody decided to carry a ridiculous article about something that I was wearing as to how expensive it is and they said, ‘Clearly she can afford it because she got a fat alimony' and I was aghast. Whatever you have done in life whatever level, it makes no difference,” she said.

Malaika Arora has been in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor for over 5 years. The couple made it Instagram official in 2019. On the other hand, Arbaaz Khan married make-up artist Shura Khan last year.

The siblings' strained relationship with Govinda had been a topic of widespread discussion for some time. However, as Arti prepares for her wedding, it appears that relations have thawed.

In a recent interview with ETimes TV, Arti disclosed that she had reached out to Govinda to share the news of her wedding, and to her delight, he expressed happiness for her. She said, "Yes, I informed Chi Chi mama about my wedding, and he was happy for me. I hope they (Govinda and his family) bless me at the wedding. In fact, I am certain they will attend because they love me."

In a 2021 interview with Indian Express, Arti Singh spoke about the fallout she experienced as a result of the discord between Govinda and Krushna. Citing a Hindi proverb that translates to "When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers," she acknowledged bearing the brunt of their conflict. Arti Singh recounted how the rift between Krushna and Govinda escalated a few years ago when Krushna's wife, Kashmera Shah, allegedly made disparaging remarks about Govinda and his wife, Sunita Ahuja, on social media.

In 2019, Krushna Abhishek admitted that they were at fault and would like to reconcile with Govinda. Soon after, Sunita told Times Of India in an interview: "We have broken all ties with Krushna and Kashmera, and I swear I won't initiate a patch-up this time around. I was a fool to do so two years ago. Govinda was right about them. It was my mistake that I thought that we should give them another chance."

Opening up about her marriage, Arti Singh told ETimes TV that it is a "purely arranged marriage." She said, "It's purely an arranged marriage. There was obviously a period of courtship where we wanted to get to know each other better and assess our compatibility. We first spoke on July 23 last year and met after his birthday (August 5). As things progressed, I decided to commit to this relationship in November. However, we didn't move forward until both our families approved of our union. On January 1, Dipak proposed marriage to me with a ring at my guruji's temple in Delhi and I said yes. I consider that moment as my engagement.”

The actor said during the interview, "It was tough. It was difficult because people have heard Chamkila's songs like rhymes. So if someone else is singing it, it will 101 per cent look odd. But we have tried and AR Rahman sir's team has helped us a lot." Speaking about his co-star Parineeti Chopra, Diljit said, "Even Parineeti, I did not have expectations from her because Amarjot's part was tougher. Amarjot used to sing in a very high pitch. So, we have tried. I cannot sing like Chamkila and Parineeti cannot sing like Amarjot. We have only tried. Since in the film it is connected to the story, people might like it."

The film happens to be a biopic on late singer Amar Singh Chamkila, who was killed at the age of 27 back in 8 March 1988. Amar Singh Chamkila was Punjab's highest record selling artist of the time. Diljit Dosanjh plays the titular role in the film that also features Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot, his partner and frequent music collaborator.

He added, "The movie paved the way for me to spend a lot of time around her. We got involved within a year."

After three months, we both knew that this was it," said Nayanthara.

His latest endeavour, Maidaan, is a biopic portraying the remarkable journey of Syed Abdul Rahim, India's pioneering football coach from 1952 to 1962. Adding to the excitement, the spotlight shifts to the movie's soundtrack, with the unveiling of the latest track titled Ranga Ranga. Crafted, arranged, and produced by the maestro himself, AR Rahman, the song promises a vibrant and uplifting experience. The accompanying music video immerses viewers into the world of football training, showcasing the rigorous preparation undertaken by Syed Abdul Rahim and his team. With scenes depicting relentless dedication and tireless effort, the song serves as an anthem of inspiration.

Following the release of the Maidaan trailer, some fans drew comparisons between the film and the iconic sports drama Chak De India. Addressing these comparisons, director Amit Ravindernath Sharma spoke about the distinctiveness of Maidaan in an interview with India Today. He said, "As soon as a sports film arrives, people compare these films because of the story of a coach and players. Even before watching the film, people assume that it's a similar film."

Amit Sharma further elaborated, "There are no similarities between these films, except maybe 22 players are running after one ball on the field. The story is different, the struggle is different. This is also not a sports biopic, it's the journey of Abdul Rahim. Maidaan is about his emotional journey. Football is just the medium."

Refuting the notion of likeness to Chak De India," which starred Shah Rukh Khan as the coach of the women's national hockey team, Amit Sharma highlighted the unique essence of Maidaan. He expressed, "Challenges are always good, as one would get bored making the same films. The most important thing is that audiences will finally get to know about this man. They need to know what he's done for the country. There is no jingoism, but just his utmost love for India and football."

Maidaan, featuring Priyamani and Gajraj Rao in significant roles, is slated for release on April 10. The film will clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan starring Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. The narrative of the film revolves around the inspiring story of Syed Abdul Rahim, who dedicatedly works towards elevating Indian football onto the global stage by assembling and training a team, which notably includes talented youngsters from the slums.

In the pictures, Robert Pattinson can be seen pushing a pink stroller while Suki accompanies him. Suki Waterhouse announced her pregnancy during a performance at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico last November. Take a look at the pictures here:

Just a few days ahead of the release of his crime thriller, the actor talked about his wife, actress Shabana Raza's comeback. In a conversation with Zoom, Manoj Bajpayee expressed his excitement about the prospect of Shabana Raza's return to the big screen. In addition, the Gangs Of Wasseypur star has also confessed that he can't wait to share the screen space with her. Manoj Bajpayee said, “I would love to work with my wife Shabana provided the script comes from outside, and I don't have to produce it. As much as I know her, I know she has a lot of self-respect as an actor. I am equally excited to work with her in a film that will mark her comeback into films. She is equally keen on doing films again.”

Manoj Bajpayee added that Shabana Raza is in the middle of reviewing scripts that are coming her way. “So whenever that happens, she will return to the cinema,” added Manoj. Shabana Raza is known for her work in films like Ajay Devgn's Hogi Pyaar Ki Jeet, Hrithik Roshan's Fiza, Kareeb (1998), Rahul (2001), Aatma (2006) and Acid Factory (2009) among others.

In the same interview, Manoj Bajpayee also talked about how he takes some of his characters home, unconsciously. The actor said, “Scenes from my films keep playing on my mind while I am doing routine things at home. Even while I am talking to my daughter, I am thinking of the character I am supposed to enact the next day. I often get reprimanded by my wife for not being in the moment because I am constantly thinking about the scenes in my head. If I have to become a character, the person is not going to leave me so soon.” He concluded by saying, “Acting is not a ‘switch on and switch off job.”

Coming back to Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout, the Aban Bharucha Deohans directorial will premiere on Zee5 on April 16. In the film, Manoj Bajpayee will be seen essaying the role of ACP Avinash Verma. Apart from Manij, the film also features Prachi Desai, Parul Gulati, Sahil Vaid and Vaquar Shaikh in Key roles.

Here's What To Expect https://noidamirror.com/dune-to-return-for-a-third-installment-heres-what-to-expect https://noidamirror.com/dune-to-return-for-a-third-installment-heres-what-to-expect Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is staying in business with Hollywood studios Legendary Entertainment as it has officially given a go-ahead to Dune 3. The critically-acclaimed director and the studio are also in talks to develop the film adaptation of best-selling non-fiction book Nuclear War: A Scenario by author Annie Jacobsen apart from Dune 3, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline. Villeneuve will first work on Dune 3, which is a story based on author Frank Herbert's Dune: Messiah. The earlier two movies in the franchise, Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), were based on Herbert's seminal 1965 novel Dune, about Paul Atreides whose family, the noble House Atreides, is thrust into a war for the deadly and inhospitable desert planet Arrakis.

Villeneuve has time and again expressed a desire to conclude the story of Dune with a third part, adapted from Dune: Messiah that was published in 1969. And Legendary has finally confirmed the project.

Post Dune 3, the Canadian filmmaker may work on the film adaptation of Nuclear War: A Scenario, which was optioned by Legendary soon after its publication in March this year. The book explores a ticking-clock scenario about what would happen in the event of a nuclear war, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who built the weapons and have been privy to the response plans and have been responsible for those decisions should they need to be made.

Villeneuve is currently basking in the glory of Dune: Part Two, which has raked in over USD 630 million at the worldwide box office. The movie features an ensemble cast of Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Bardem.

In the first photo, Dev and Sobhita are posing for the camera. While Sobhita is dressed in a Gaurav Gupta gown, Dev looks sharp in a suit. Next, we see the big screen with the film's poster. Additionally, there are more snaps of Sobhita posing alongside the cast of Monkey Man. Sharing the pictures, Sobhita wrote a sweet note for her co-star and director Dev Patil. She said, “So much love for this fellow right here. Look what you made, kid :) Monkey Man out now, in theatres worldwide.” Actress Saiyami Kher was among the first to drop a comment under Sobhita's post. She posted a black heart emoji.

A few days ago, the makers dropped the second trailer of Monkey Man. The video begins with a dramatic drone shot of a massive crowd. After that, we see a showdown between Dev Patel and Sikandar Kher's characters. During the fight, Dev points a gun at Sikandar and narrates the tragic story of how he lost his mother during childhood. The intensity goes to the next level when Sikandar physically assaults Dev. The trailer showcases societal inequality and how the wealthy abuse less privileged people. A few seconds later, Dev finds inspiration from Lord Hanuman and wears a gorilla mask before going to an underground club. Sobhita Dhulipala's character is shown as Dev's ally. She even motivates him by saying, “Make them remember your name." 

Monkey Man also stars Sharlto Copley, Adithi Kalkunte, and Makarand Deshpande.

Manoj Bajpayee, who has created a niche with many memorable projects across medium such as Satya, Shool, Raajneeti, Aligarh, Gangs Of Wasseypur movies and The Family Man series, said his search for unique roles is always on. "I've been lucky to get really good offers. I want to go beyond that and look for more interesting, extraordinary scripts and stories which people have not seen or witnessed. Roles that are nowhere close to anything I have done. The search is always on and as the saying goes, it is always about your choices," Manoj Bajpayee told PTI in an interview.

The actor admits that despite being in the business for many years, he still cannot predict the mood of the audiences beyond the fact that "they need a good story that can engage and entertain them". "And if it is not doing both, they will immediately reject it. They are unpredictable.

After working hard with extreme honesty, you can only pray for the success and wish the film to connect with the audience," he said.

Calling himself someone who is critical and not easily satisfied by what he does, Manoj Bajpayee said, he rather looks forward to the next idea. "Usually, I don't watch my films, but there are times when I have to. At the time of the second one (season or sequel), you have to watch the first one just to be reminded of what all you've done and what are the elements of the characters that you have to bring in all over again. When I watch it, I am critical. I feel I could do better in many places. But what's gone is gone at the end of the day," he added.

The actor, 54, will be seen next in Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout, the sequel to his 2021 film Silence...Can You Hear It. He is reprising the role of ACP Avinash Verma in the sequel, directed by Aban Bharucha Deohans, who also helmed the first part.

Manoj Bajpayee praised Deohans as a "perfectionist", who will never start a film if she is not completely ready. "She is not somebody who would like to go on the set just because there is a franchise which is greenlit by the platform. Both of us were clear about it," he said. The film also features Prachi Desai, who is returning as Inspector Sanjana.

The actor, known for movies such as Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Rock On!! and Azhar, called the experience of working with Manoj Bajpayee "absolutely priceless".

"Even if you enroll yourself somewhere, you will never get the same kind of learning. Just being around him and observing him, that in itself was nice. There are things about (his acting) that come back to you later. It's amazing and beautiful. He makes us feel comfortable. He's just the nicest person to be around," Prachi Desai said.

Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout also features Parul Gulati, Sahil Vaid and Dinkar Sharma. Produced by Zee Studios and Candid Creations, the movie will premiere on ZEE5 on April 16.

This four-minute video gave a glimpse of the intricate visual effects that contributed to Dunki's immersive cinematic experience. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Dunki  enjoyed significant box office success. The breakdown reel showed various iconic scenes from the film and focussed on the extensive visual effects work involved. The final sequence, where Taapsee Pannu's character reminisced about her youth while strolling through her village, necessitated meticulous VFX to achieve the illusion of a seamless camera movement.

Additionally, the scene depicting Vicky Kaushal's character engulfed in flames after a failed visa interview relied on computer-generated fire for enhancement. As the actors embark on their journey to London, many digitally-rendered environments enrich their cinematic odyssey. A few scenes involving vehicles were filmed against blue screen backdrops, with Red Chillies VFX crafting the surrounding landscapes.

Moreover, the breakdown video also unveiled intriguing details, such as Shah Rukh Khan not being submerged underwater during a pivotal scene, prompting CGI manipulation to simulate wet hair. Similarly, the effect of wrinkly feet in a close-up shot was achieved through visual effects rather than practical immersion in water.

The film's VFX garnered praise from fans, with one commenting on YouTube, "The water scene was impeccable, exceptional work." Another fan stated, "That's the most realistic CG fire I've ever seen."

Despite mixed critical reception, Dunki emerged as the third-highest-grossing film of Shah Rukh Khan's career, amassing over Rs 470 crore worldwide against its Rs 120 crore budget. 2023 marked a pinnacle in Shah Rukh Khan's career, with his other releases, Pathaan and Jawan, each surpassing Rs 1000 crore in global earnings.

Reflecting on her younger years, she shared how there was no terminology to define what she was experiencing, but she often felt a persistent knot in her stomach. Talking about her struggles with sleeplessness due to anxiety, Archana Puran Singh said she's no expert but has learned to manage it over time. She referred to anxiety as both her "best friend" and a disruptor, noting its role in pushing her to excel but also keeping her awake when she wants to rest.

The caption read, "Today they call it anxiety. Back in my day it was a normal state of being before an exam, an event, a date... Nobody asked us how we felt. We ourselves didn't question the frequent knot in our stomachs!! We just soldiered on. It was just another day, and sometimes an almost constant state of being for long periods of time. I define my life as a very happy one... even through the tough times. You'll be fine too."

Archana Puran Singh added, "I'm no expert, obviously. But I've had experience dealing with it. Learning from it. And managing to reduce its power or grip on me. It is sometimes my best friend in doing a job well. But this 'friend' also keeps me awake when I want to sleep early. Nonetheless, I don't focus on it. I choose instead to focus on all the good things that happen every day in my life. I count the number of happy and joyful moments of each day, and that makes my whole day a happy one."

Opting to focus on the positive aspects of life, Archana Puran Singh concluded her note by highlighting the importance of cherishing happy moments each day. She shared that her son encouraged her to share her experience publicly. "I was putting it up as a story, but my son happened to ask what it was, and he said 'Mom why don't you put it up as a post instead? I'm sure someone out there could benefit from reading this.' Well, if that does happen, I'll have a few more happy moments added to my day!! Love to all and choose to have a happy day every day."

The movie will feature Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in lead roles. Now, as per a Pinkvilla report, Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman have been roped in by the makers. A source told the entertainment platform, “Hans Zimmer is gearing up to make his debut in the Indian Film Industry with Ramayana. Namit Malhotra and Nitesh Tiwari have always been vocal about their global vision for this Indian Epic and they are leaving no stone unturned to make that a reality. Hans Zimmer is also fascinated by the vision for the story of Lord Ram and is all ready to compose the score of Ramayana. It's a match made in heaven. Two global talents (AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer) are set to team up for the present India's Story to the World.” FYI: Hans Zimmer has given music to movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Inception, and Man of Steel.

“Ramayana is truly a global film and the makers are attempting to represent Indian Cinema at a global level with the epic. Years have been spent not just researching the subject but also pre-visualization of the world. Ramayana is a legacy film and the makers have embarked on a journey to bring it to the spectacle with all the responsibility. The talks are also on with a global studio from Hollywood to come on board for the International Release, but it's all in a very nascent stage,” the source added.

Meanwhile, pictures from the sets of Ramayana are making waves on the internet. In the snaps, we can see Lara Dutta, who reportedly plays the role of Kaikeyi, Arun Govil (famously known for playing Lord Rama in the 1987 TV series Ramayan), and Sheeba Chaddha dressed in their characters.

Next, we see the actress riding a bicycle on a road lined with trees on both sides. The following shot features Manisha Koirala and her family seated at a table. We also get a glimpse of Manisha Koirala's parents — Prakash Koirala and Sushma Koirala.  In her detailed note, the actress spoke about her “second life after cancer.” 

Manisha Koirala wrote, “I have a lot to be grateful for in life... a career that saw a lot of high moments, significant roles, best directors, and friendships that have stood the test of time... and it is with God's grace that I have been given a second life after battling cancer. I have also seen the lowest depths in life and took many wrong turns. Life has been a good teacher with all its highs and lows, and I understand the value of time more intensely now. Yesterday was exhilarating and traumatic, but today is serene and peaceful.”

Talking about the happy things in her life, Manisha Koirala added, “The best phase of my life... my days are all about spending time with my parents, who are aging, exploring nature trails in Nepal, tending to my beautiful garden, looking after my furbabies, surrendering to my spiritual practices, and doing maybe one film once in a long while.”

She continued, “I no longer want all the best movies or city life. I chose to work only with people whose work I respect, and that's why when the call came from SLB, I knew it was something worth leaving my serene world back for a short time.”

For her upcoming project Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, she said, “Heera Mandii has been enriching on many levels.... to work with SLB again after Khamoshi. He was so talented from day one, and how he has grown as a filmmaker... but his eye for detail and larger-than-life vision retain the same rigor. Equally joyful was the experience of working with so many young, beautiful, and talented women. Each one of them was at ease with herself. There were no attempts to pull each other down. No fighting over lines, space, or angles. Or better costumes and hair. They have all been doing meaty roles in their films and earned the confidence to stand their ground.”

He also spoke about a pivotal moment from his childhood when his parents made the difficult decision to send him to live with a relative in Ludhiana, without consulting him first. Diljit Dosanjh revealed that this move, which was aimed at ensuring his basic needs like "food, shelter, and schooling" were adequately met, strained his relationship with his parents, despite his love and respect for them. Recalling the experience in a conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia, Diljit shared, "I was eleven years old when I left my home and started living with my mamaji (maternal uncle). I came to the city leaving my village behind. I shifted to Ludhiana. He said ‘Send him to the city with me' and my parents said ‘Yes, take him.' My parents did not even ask me.”

Diljit Dosanjh added, “I used to stay alone in a small room. I used to just go to school and come back, there wasn't any TV. I had a lot of time. Also, we didn't have mobile phones back then, even if I had to call home or receive a call from my parents, it cost us money. So I started becoming distant from my family.”

Reflecting on his parents' decision, Diljit shared that his parents wished well for him and said, "I respect my mother a lot. My father is a very sweet person. He did not ask me anything. He did not even ask which school I studied. But my connection with them broke. Not just with them, with everyone.”

Born in the village of Dosanjh Kalan in 1984, Diljit began showcasing his talent by performing at local events while attending school in Ludhiana. Known for his hit pop songs, Diljit's fame soared globally after his electrifying performance at the Coachella music festival last year.

The actress, formerly linked with Rohman Shawl, has once again ignited dating speculation as the two have been seen together frequently. The duo shares a close bond and are each other's biggest cheerleaders. Addressing the topic of maintaining friendships with ex-partners, Sushmita Sen shared her perspective in an interview with Indulge Express and said that it's "possible" as she has witnessed it and experienced it in her own life. She said, "Definitely. But I think it's hard and confusing. Many people can be friends with their exes and not know where to draw the line or have boundaries. But it's possible because I have seen it happen, and I am blessed to have it in my life as well."

When asked about how she deals with heartbreaks, Sushmita Sen said that her life has been an open book because she has lived it with "honesty" and "fearlessness". "Well, my life has definitely been an open book because I have lived it very honestly, and sometimes fearlessly. But having said that, dignity is something that doesn't just show up in one aspect of your life —it is who you are. So, all the decisions you take, whether they hurt you, whether you are betrayed, or whether you were at fault, don't matter," Sushmita Sen shared.

She added, "The point is, that something wasn't meant to be, and it had to stay for as long as it could teach you something. You value that lesson and move on. I don't think it's worth investing so much time in a human being and considering that a mistake. Hence, I acknowledge them with absolute dignity."

For the unversed, Sushmita Sen and Rohman Shawl met in 2018 and began dating soon after. They broke up in 2021. Announcing the breakup on Instagram, Sushmita Sen said, "We began as friends, we remain friends! The relationship was long over... the love remains."

In a widely circulated video across social media platforms, Vashu Bhagnani said that he is sure that their film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, will amass a staggering Rs 1100 crore at the box office. The last film to achieve such figures was Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. Notably, SRK's 2023 release, Pathaan, also crossed the Rs 1000 crore milestone worldwide. Vashu Bhagnani seems to be wagering that their movie will surpass both of SRK's blockbusters.

In the video clip, Jackky introduces himself and his father Vashu as the "real-life Bade Miyan Chote Miyan". In response, Vashu confidently said, "Rs 1100 crore confirmed hai worldwide" (Rs 1100 crore worldwide is confirmed). Reacting to his father's big statement, Jackky said "tathastu (amen)."

While the Hindi film industry weathered a rough patch since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, along with his earlier release Jawan, changed the scenario by emerging as the highest-grossing films. Notably, Ranbir Kapoor's Animal emerged as one of the highest-grossing films last year, raking in Rs 900 crore worldwide.

However, Bhagnani's production house, Pooja Entertainment, encountered setbacks with their last two releases, Mission Raniganj and Ganapath, both failing to make a mark at the box office.

Meanwhile, Ali Abbas Zafar's latest venture, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, features Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar in leading roles, with Manushi Chillar and Alaya F portraying their love interests. The film teased as a high-octane action thriller, follows elite soldiers thwarting a masked villain's nefarious plot involving an AI weapon. Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran takes on the antagonist role in the action-packed spectacle.

Set for release on April 10, just ahead of the Eid holidays, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is all set to clash with Ajay Devgn's Maidaan at the box office.

]]> Tue, 09 Apr 2024 05:08:11 +0530 Editor Sushmita Sen On Surviving Heart Attack: "It Was Meant To Happen" https://noidamirror.com/sushmita-sen-on-surviving-heart-attack-it-was-meant-to-happen https://noidamirror.com/sushmita-sen-on-surviving-heart-attack-it-was-meant-to-happen Sushmita Sen never shies away from talking about her personal and professional challenges. The actress, who survived a heart attack in 2023, recently opened up about how the incident “was meant to happen.” In a chat with Indulge Express, Sushmita shared, “Being fit doesn't necessarily mean that you will not have hiccups, whether they are genetic, or otherwise. In my case, it was genetic because both my parents have a heart condition. Since it's in the family, we've been testing for it long enough. Despite that, it happened. I guess it was meant to happen. That I survived it and healed quickly is a huge blessing, and I wish that upon anyone who suffers the same.”

“It has taught me that life has a pace, and no matter what you are going through or what environment you are in, you have to follow that pace, and you have to be extremely aware of what your body wants —it gives you indications. I always celebrated life, so that hasn't changed. But I have definitely become more aware of my body and its needs,” Sushmita Sen added.

In the same conversation, Sushmita Sen also talked about her post-surgery fitness routine. She said, “My fitness routine has been very slow. This February, I completed a year since the heart attack, and going back to a fitness regimen has been gradual. It's mostly warm-ups and stretches, with a bit of floor exercises. I have been allowed weights now, so weight training has been introduced. I am not entirely allowed to do anything too static, the movements need to be dynamic. I am not allowed to run, but I can pace walk. Also, the medicines have side effects. So, you have to cope with that and listen to your body and what it allows you to do on a given day.”

Earlier, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Sushmita Sen disclosed that she filmed a scene from Aarya 3 (depicted in the trailer) shortly after experiencing the heart attack. The actress expressed, "It was cathartic in a sense because all of the action that you see in the trailer was shot one month after my heart attack. So when Aarya gets shot, falls to the ground and she is gasping for air, in a crazy way it was like reel and real life, finally coming to a beautiful cathartic unison feeling. As dark as that sounds, I think it was a whole new beginning for me. Both personally and for Aarya on screen."

Sushmita Sen's latest project Aarya 3 is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. The series also features Vikas Kumar, Ila Arun, Vishwajeet Pradhan, and Sikandar Kher in pivotal roles.

The action thriller features Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the titular roles. While the 1998 comedy classic of the same name featured Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda as police officers [as well as thieves],  Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are portraying the role of elite soldiers embarking on a globe-trotting mission in the reboot. They will be seen alongside Alaya F and Manushi Chhillar, while Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran has essayed the main negative role. Before you see Akshay Kumar pull off some sleek action moves in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, we have pulled together a few action films of Bollywood's Khiladi Kumar that you must binge-watch this weekend.

Let's take a look at the action-packed list:

Khiladi – Prime Video

The Abbas Mustan directorial stands as a milestone in the Indian film industry, marking a breakthrough in Akshay Kumar's acting career. The 1992 film turned out to be a big hit, gifting him the ultimate title of “Khiladi Kumar”. In the action-packed film, the actor essays the role of Raj Malhotra, a carefree and mischievous young man. However, Raj's life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a threatening phone call and is forced to participate in a dangerous game to save his kidnapped friend's sister.

Khakee – Prime Video

Boasting an ensemble cast, Rajkumar Santoshi's Khakee is a must-watch. The action thriller, which hit the theatres in 2004, features Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Tusshar Kapoor in pivotal roles. The film revolves around a team of police officers, on duty to escort a dangerous terrorist. But the situation takes a serious turn when a rogue officer becomes an obstacle in their task. To know if the team is successful in performing their duty, you will have to watch the film.

Rowdy Rathore – Netflix

One of the most entertaining mass actioners in recent times, Rowdy Rathore has been helmed by Prabhu Deva. From its high-octane action sequences, impactful dialogues and electrifying tracks, Rowdy Rathore took the box office by storm. The film, which is a Hindi remake of the Telugu movie Vikramarkudu, features Akshay Kumar in a double role. The actor's portrayal of both the rowdy thief and the righteous cop earned praise from audiences and critics alike.

Kesari—Prime Video

Akshay Kumar's dedication in his role as Havildar Ishar Singh has etched Kesari's name into the book of must-watch films. The Anurag Singh directorial retells the famous Battle of Saragarhi, wherein 21 soldiers of the 36 Sikh Regiment didn't let ten thousand Afghan soldiers capture the Saragarhi fort till evening. Needless to say, Akshay's performance was the soul of the film. 

Soorvanshi—Netflix

After Khaakee and Rowdy Rathore, Akshay Kumar stepped into the shoes of a cop once more in this film, but this time for Rohit Shetty. As the perfect amalgamation of comedy, action, thriller and romance, Sooryavanshi is a complete package. In addition, you get to see Akshay Kumar sharing screen space with Simmba aka Ranveer Singh and Singham aka Ajay Devgn. Released in 2021, Sooryavanshi revolves around the looming threat of a terrorist attack on Mumbai. To know if Sooryavanshi, Simmba and Singham can stop this terrorist attack together, you need to watch the film.

Happy binge-watching!

Despite experiencing a 60% decline on weekdays, it maintained steady viewership throughout its first week in theatres. As per a Sacnilk report, Crew minted Rs 3 crore on day 7, with an overall 11.40 percent occupancy in Hindi on Thursday, bringing its total collection to Rs 43.75 crore. Crew  revolves around three women in the airline industry facing unexpected situations and entangled in a web of lies.

Crew  has reportedly been released across 2000 theatres. It premiered in over 75 countries, spanning more than 1100 locations. The estimated budget for the film, covering production and advertising expenses, reportedly stands around Rs 60 crore.

Crew opened to largely mixed reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Crew would have been much more fun if only it knew how to buoy things up with strokes of genuine inspiration. Yes, that is what is sorely missing in a film that goes for gold but fails to find a source of sustained sparkle."
