Shah Rukh Khan is known for his witty sense of humour and we have often seen the superstar showcasing it in his replies to the media. During one of the older interviews way back in 2013, while the Jawan actor was all praises for his colleague and co-actor Aamir Khan, he had opened up about a funny anecdote about how his fellow actor often take time to make a decision. He recalled an incident when they were on a flight together.

Shah Rukh Khan was seen narrating an incident when they were travelling together to the host of the show wherein in he revealed that when they were on the flight together, the steward approached them for their order. While SRK stuck to his usual order of a black coffee, Aamir Khan wanted to order tea. He gave her multiple instructions about tea and adding milk to it but then asked for two more minutes to decide about the ingredients he required in his beverage. While the incident left everyone smiling, adding further, Shah Rukh Khan revealed, “Humare ghar jab aate hain, tab main unhe poochta hoon chai piyoge and keh deta hoon Kal bata dena yaar. Hum ghoom ke aa rahe hain (When he comes to our house and we offer him tea, I tell him, ‘Let me know tomorrow, we’ll go out until then’.”

However, after the funny anecdote, Shah Rukh Khan, with all seriousness, appreciated and showcases his respect towards Aamir Khan. “I’m yet to meet a person who is so conscientious and seriously conscientious about his work,” he said.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are one of the few pairings who have never together for a project together. While SRK did do a small cameo in the recently released Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha, fans have been requesting them to do a film together for quite some time now.

Netflix India on Thursday launched the trailer of The Archies, a Zoya Akhtar spectacle produced by Tiger Baby, Graphic India, and Archie Comics, that transports the audience to the whimsical world of 1960s Riverdale, India. The trailer unfolds a musical narrative steering through the retro alleys of love, friendship, and youthful aspirations. The film introduces several new faces including Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Yuvraj Menda, Mihir Ahuja, Dot and Vedang Raina. Zoya Akhtar talked about the 60s era and the rebellion, peace and love that it represented.

“The ’60s were the time when there was a peace movement, a revolution that happened, and all the Bob Dylan… There was an idealism that we will make the world a better place. That was the era where they believed that they could change the world. There was a bit of rebellion, peace and love. It was also the era of rock ‘n’ roll. So, that whole feeling of that era is what we wanted to bring in. It is a simple young-adult feel-good story,” Zoya Akhtar told PTI in an interview.

Zoya said that the story packs a lot of innocence and nostalgia. “We are the Archie generation and it resonates with us, and people who have read Archies will come in because they love the comic but there are kids today who do not love the comic… We needed to have a strong story and package it in nostalgia and innocence,” she said.

Reema Kagti, who wrote the screenplay with Zoya Akhtar and Ayesha Devitre Dhillon, added, “There are a lot of people who don’t know who Archie is or they don’t read Archies anymore… To our generation, it was a different thing. At a time when there was no mobile or TV or OTT, Archie had a different meaning. We are fans (so) you don’t want to mess it up and do injustice to something that you have loved and revered. We had to do the film in a way that it is relevant to everybody.”

The Archies is releasing on Netflix on December 7, 2023. ALSO READ: Zoya Akhtar reveals casting process of The Archies: “Suhana Khan was training to be an actor; Khushi Kapoor was cast first as Betty and Agastya Nanda was cast last as Archie”

Netflix India on Thursday launched the much-anticipated trailer of The Archies, a Zoya Akhtar spectacle produced by Tiger Baby, Graphic India, and Archie Comics, that transports the audience to the whimsical world of 1960s Riverdale, India. The trailer unfolds a musical narrative led by seven charming characters from the beloved Archie comics, steering through the retro alleys of love, friendship, and youthful aspirations. The film introduces several new faces including Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Yuvraj Menda, Mihir Ahuja, Dot and Vedang Raina.

Talking about casting for the film with Puja Talwar, Reema Kagta said that it was quite a rigorous process. “The credit goes to our casting directors Nandini Shrikent and Karan Mally. They held extensive tests and several rounds of tests before they came to Zoya. We didn’t go with any pre-decided notions that this actor has to be that character. The kids were not given any point of reference and they were tested for all the parts. It is only after four-five rounds when they finally came to Zoya and even after that Zoya sat with them. It was quite a rigorous round of testing and auditioning and I think we have arrived with the best people to play the parts,” Reema Kagti shared.

Zoya Akhtar revealed that she met all the actors in different capacities. She shared, “I think the person who was cast first was Betty and cast last was Archie. I think each one has surprised us in some way or the other. Ethel is a musician. Dot is a musician, and I met her to do the music. I follow her on YouTube, that’s how I know her. I met her because I wanted some of her music for the film. While I was having a conversation with her, I was like, ‘Oh my god, she’s Ethel (Muggs).’ I tested her, and she was great. She was in Wales, and I was in Bombay, so we did the test on Zoom.”

She added, “And there was Mihir who had been cast in Made In Heaven by another director, and I directed him in a dramatic scene. It was a scene where he had to start crying, and I just kept looking at his face and saying he can be Jughead. But I didn’t know if he can do comedy and if he is comedic.”

Zoya shared that Suhana Khan, Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, was already training to be an actor. She said, “Suhana was already acting. She was in a school in New York. She was training to be an actor, so we knew she wanted to act. Vedang was a model and musician. He did four or five auditions before it came to me. So, they came from all over the place.”

The beloved couch is back with the host Karan Johar as Hotstar Specials’ Koffee with Karan returned with season 8. This time, Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday graced the couch to talk about their careers, friendships, relationships and more. During the conversation, Karan addressed the elephant in the room - Kartik Aaryan, and Sara and Annaya's past relationships with him.

Sara decided to answer the question but she talked about break-ups without mentioning anyone's name. She said, “I don't want to say that ya, it's all easy because then it comes across as a little more frivolous than it is. It isn't always easy. When you are involved with anybody, whether it's friends, professionally, romantically, especially if I am, I get involved and invested. It is not like, ‘Oh yeah, it doesn’t really matter, whatever it's today, whatever it is tomorrow'. It's not like that. It does affect you. But ultimately you have to rise beyond that.”

“Something I have realised without sounding semi-negative is that there are no permanent predicaments in this business. In my personal experience, there is no point making permanent best friendships, pinky promises, saying I'll never talk to you again. All these nevers and always nahi hota (doesn't happen)," she added.

Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan dated for a while and were in a relationship during Love Aaj Kal promotions.

A widely circulated video that seemingly portrayed Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna entering an elevator has been exposed as an artificial intelligence (AI) deepfake, raising concerns about the prevalence of deceptive content on social media platforms. While the video appeared highly convincing to the average social media user, close scrutiny reveals telltale signs of manipulation.

This deepfake video has garnered millions of views. Abhishek Kumar, an Indian journalist, undertook the task of tracing the video's origins and, in response to the incident, called for the establishment of new legal and regulatory frameworks to address the dissemination of fake content on the internet. The video in question was originally posted on Instagram on October 8 and featured a woman named Zara Patel. There is currently no evidence linking Patel to the creation of the deepfake video. It remains unclear who crafted the deceptive version or what their motivations were. Nevertheless, this incident underscored a growing trend of fake videos featuring celebrities from various industries, perpetuating false narratives and potentially causing harm.

There is an urgent need for a legal and regulatory framework to deal with deepfake in India. You might have seen this viral video of actress Rashmika Mandanna on Instagram. But wait, this is a deepfake video of Zara Patel.

This thread contains the actual video. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/SidP1Xa4sT

— Abhishek (@AbhishekSay) November 5, 2023

The original video is of Zara Patel, a British-Indian girl with 415K followers on Instagram. She uploaded this video on Instagram on 9 October. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/MJwx8OldJU — Abhishek (@AbhishekSay) November 5, 2023

A visual comparison between the real and deepfake versions of the video revealed a critical difference. Initially, Patel's face was prominently featured in both renditions. However, approximately one second into the video, the face undergoes a dramatic transformation, morphing into the visage of Rashmika Mandanna, was unsuspectingly featured in the AI-generated deepfake, adding weight to concerns about the exploitation of her likeness for deceptive purposes.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance in navigating the digital landscape, with deepfake technology posing significant challenges to the preservation of truth and authenticity in the media and online platforms.

Theatres across the nation had fallen silent, blanketed by the grim shadows of a pandemic. But amid adversity, director Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi emerged as the beacon of hope, reigniting the magic of cinema and breathing life back into the desolate halls. Shetty's blockbuster, Sooryavanshi, not just shattered box office records but also symbolized a triumphant return for cinema after the extended lull caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the film turns two, it's time we reflect upon Shetty's determination and the star power of Akshay Kumar along with Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh and Ajay Devgn (the original Singham) contributed to the revival of the exhibition sector in the wake of unprecedented challenges.

The journey of Sooryavanshi to its resounding success was nothing short of a heroic saga, spanning 19 months, during which Shetty and his team battled against the odds. When the film was first conceptualized, it was slated for release in March 2020. However, the global pandemic hit, leading to the closure of cinemas across the nation. The fate of the film hung in the balance as its release was postponed indefinitely.

Despite the discouraging circumstances, Shetty remained undeterred. He was determined to bring back the magic of cinema to the silver screen. Sooryavanshi was rescheduled, and the team began the arduous journey of promoting the film amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic's course. The challenges did not end there. As a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of a release date in March 2021, the second wave of the pandemic swept across the nation, causing another delay. This double blow could have broken the spirit of many in the industry, but not Rohit Shetty. He remained resolute in his belief that cinema was not just a form of entertainment but an experience that could not be easily replicated.

Finally, in November, during the auspicious Diwali weekend, Sooryavanshi made its much-anticipated debut. The response was nothing short of overwhelming, with 50% occupancy, the film went onto mint close to Rs 200 crores at the domestic box office within days of its release. The success of Sooryavanshi was not just a personal achievement for Shetty and Kumar, but a collective triumph for the entire industry.

Yash Raj Films is ready to set the cash counters ringing this festive season with its latest offering Tiger 3, a YRF Spy Universe film. Starring Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif, Tiger 3 is set to release on Diwali Day, Sunday, November 12! While fans are excited to see the reunion of Tiger and Zoya, they are equally excited to witness Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan appear in the project. Now, it seems like the third spy Kabir from War, played by Hrithik Roshan, is also set to make a surprise appearance in the third installment of the Tiger franchise.

For unversed, though Salman Khan was the first spy in the YRF Spy Universe, Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan kicked off the interconnection between the said universe. Salman Khan made an extended cameo in the movie as Tiger and the audience was delighted to have the beloved Khans back on the big screen. Now that Pathaan is gearing up to help Tiger in the Maneesh Sharma directorial, Kabir is heading to the franchise. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source revealed,  “Aditya Chopra has set the wheel in motion for a full convergence of super spies within the YRF Spy Universe. No one knows, but along with Pathaan, Kabir will also be making an appearance in Tiger 3. A handful of people know how Adi is visualizing Kabir in Tiger 3 and this information is being kept under wraps to be only revealed on the big screen when Tiger 3 releases on November 12.”

“Three of India’s biggest superstars – Salman, SRK & Hrithik – are in the same universe and now also the same film. This is definitely a moment to celebrate for all the cine-goers. Kabir’s appearance in Tiger 3 is just the beginning of something special in the future of this universe. At this point in time, no one knows the dynamics of how the three super spies will be presented and if they will be in the same frame or not,” the source added.

Hrithik Roshan is already starring in War 2 which will be helmed by Ayan Mukerji. It also stars Jr. NTR and Kiara Advani. Meanwhile, there is another spy project with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan titled Tiger vs Pathaan to be directed by Siddharth Anand.

Tiger 3 is the 5th film in the blockbuster YRF Spy Universe which follows the events of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War & Pathaan. It has been directed by Maneesh Sharma. It will open in Hindi, Tamil dubbed & Telugu dubbed versions.

The upcoming film Lahore, 1947,  produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, is one of the most anticipated films. Sunny Deol, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Aamir Khan are teaming up for the first time for this film. The announcement of the film piqued the excitement. What makes the announcement even more impressive is that Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan have had very iconic box-office clashes as competitors in the past, where both have eventually emerged victorious.

The first iconic clash at the ticket window was witnessed in 1990 when Aamir Khan’s Dil and Sunny Deol’s Ghayal were released on the same day. Then, in 1996, it was Raja Hindustani vs. Ghatak, followed by the most epic Box Office clash of Indian cinema in 2001, when Lagaan was released on the same day as Gadar. Now, for the very first time, the duo has come together and joined hands on a project.

Recently, on his visit to Koffee With Karan Season 8, Sunny Deol was asked by the host, Karan Johar, to share the moment when he and Aamir decided to collaborate. In reply, Sunny Deol said, "When Aamir Khan came to the success party of Gadar 2, he came to me and said that he wanted to meet me. I surprisingly asked myself what it was all about, and the next day we met, we discussed some ideas and possibilities for cooperation, and after the conclusion, we came to this project, and that's how it happened."

Aamir Khan will take over the charge as producer under Aamir Khan Productions, while director Rajkumar Santoshi will helm the project, and Sunny Deol will be leading the film as the main actor.

Lahore, 1947 marks the reunion of Aamir Khan and Santoshi after their iconic cult classic, Andaz Apna Apna. Moreover, Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have previously delivered three box office hits together in the form of Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak.

9 days are left for the release of Tiger 3 and the excitement is tremendous. Starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, the film belongs to the much-loved YRF (Yash Raj Films) Spy Universe, a franchise which has become bigger and bigger with each film. With the action entertainer releasing on Diwali, the producers made sure to begin the censor process well in time. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the film, albeit with some modifications.

The good news is that unlike Spy Universe’ previous film, Pathaan (2023), the Examining Committee of the CBFC has asked for only audio cuts and haven’t axed any visual from the film. The CBFC asked the word ‘bewakoof’ to be replaced with ‘mashroof’ and ‘foolish’ with ‘busy’ in the subtitles. In certain dialogues, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) has been mentioned. The CBFC asked the makers to use the correct abbreviation, that is, R&AW, in these dialogues. Finally, the cut list mentions that ‘the modification with respect to the National Anthem is retained as per request’.

Once these changes were carried out, Tiger 3 was granted a U/A certificate on October 27. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate is 153 minutes. In other words, the run time of Tiger 3 is 2 hours and 33 minutes.

Tiger 3 will release in cinemas on Sunday, November 12. Shah Rukh Khan, who played the lead in Pathaan, features in this film in a special appearance. Interestingly, in Pathaan, it was Tiger (Salman Khan) who came to Pathaan’s rescue. Tiger 3 is directed by Maneesh Sharma.

Besides Tiger 3 and Pathaan, the other films of YRF Spy Universe are Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and War (2019). War starred Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Interestingly, the shoot of War 2, featuring Hrithik and Jr NTR, is underway at present.

Dhanush is a rare actor who did a successful crossover from South cinema to Bollywood before the Baahubali era. He was seen in a couple of interesting Hindi films, which made him a popular name even in the Hindi-speaking markets. Now, he is all set to deliver possibly the biggest Pan-India film of his career.

According to sources, the National Award-winning star is all set to play Isaignani Illaiyaraaja in his biopic. Sources added that the movie will go on floors in 2024 and will release in 2025.

The source said, “A few months back, Yuvan Shankar Raja had said that he would love to see Dhanush play his father Ilaiyaraaja in his biopic and the stars seem to have aligned. This is the first biopic Dhanush will be seen in such an iconic role. The Captain Miller star is one of Ilaiyaraaja’s biggest fans and this role will definitely bag him some prestigious awards.”

We tried connecting Connekkt Media. However, there was no official confirmation of this development till the time of going to print.

Ilaiyaraaja, aged 80, has a record of composing over 7,000 songs in over 1,000 films and also performing in over 20,000 concerts. He began his career in 1976 and has composed songs not just for Tamil movies but also for Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi films and also one English movie.

If you happen to stumble upon an unverified video of Kartik Aaryan supporting Congress candidate Kamal Nath in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, well stop and watch again. In a bizarre turn of events, Kartik Aaryan found himself endorsing a politician, which he did not even know about. A video of the Satyaprem Ki Katha star found its way online wherein he was seen endorsing a Congress election campaign for the state of Madhya Pradesh. The video obviously left his team and fans perplexed. While sources close to the actor asserted that it is a morphed video, Kartik took to social media to share the original video wherein he is seen endorsing an OTT streaming platform.

Soon after the video gained momentum, sources close to the actor were quick to point out the clear use of editing and revealed about the existing ad campaign being morphed and wrongfully used by people for fulfilling their own purpose. The source shared, “There is a morphed version of a Kartik Aaryan ad floating on social media that the actor had done for a streaming platform. The video is misleading and mischievous and is being used to claim political affiliations on behalf of the actor. Kartik has no such affiliations with any political group whatsoever.” The source also added about how the video has been morphed and edited slyly, so as to make it look so, whereas the video was shot and released as a promo for a leading OTT Platform.

Not ending at that, Kartik Aaryn too took to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and reposted the original advertisement wherein he featured as the brand ambassador for Disney+ Hotstar.

This is the REAL AD @DisneyPlusHS Rest all is Fake ???????? pic.twitter.com/jWPTnbgpIK — Kartik Aaryan (@TheAaryanKartik) October 30, 2023

For the unversed, Kartik featured in a promo video made for a leading OTT Platform around the free availability of the ICC Men's World Cup on mobile phones on the platform, which had released about a month ago.

Priyanka Chopra arrived in India over the weekend for the opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI Film Festival 2023. On Sunday, she was a part of a masterclass alongside Bhumi Pednekar where she talked about auditioning for movie parts. She said that she has no qualms in auditioning but there have been fights where she had to ‘fight and audition for them’.

While she did not name the project, Priyanka Chopra said that she once liked a script and had to tell her agents to call up the filmmakers for her to audition. She did three auditions for the film and it started with her meeting the filmmakers. As reported by Etimes, she said, “There are times where a movie which I pursue, there are different scenarios. When a script has come to me for my consideration, I will read it for just my character first and to see if the story is interesting. If it is hard to read the script, even if your character is amazing, then I sit with the filmmakers on why it was a hard read. Every wall you hit, you have to solve that first.”

She added, “There was a particular film that I read about and I really wanted to be a part of. I got my agents to call the filmmakers and offer myself to audition for the movie. I had to do 3 auditions, first was a meeting with the filmmakers, second he came over to my house and did a reading and then the third time we went to the studio and I got the part.”

Priyanka added that her pride does not stand in between her dreams. She said that ego is ‘the end of everything’. She said, “I am not afraid of pursuing my dreams and my pride doesn't stand in front of my dreams ever. If you want something, don't let your pride stand in front of you. Ego is the end of everything, hard work, humility and persistence is all you need to be successful in any field. Come from a place of no pride, come from a team, wanting to help others rise instead of wanting to pull others down. Because you are insecure about something and in that feeling, we pull others down. Try to be a leader in your field and you don't have to be on top of your game for that. You have to be an everyday leader, in smaller environments, for your family, for your colleagues. The world needs everyday leaders and that requires having humility, persistence and a sense of hard work.”

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in Citadel season 1 on Prime Video, which has been renewed for season 2 and Love Again movie. She has signed an action thriller Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba.

The world premiere of Vikramaditya Motwane’s powerful documentary, Indi(r)a’s Emergency, was held at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023 on Saturday, October 28 in Mumbai. A Q-and-A session was held after the screening which was attended by Vikramaditya Motwane and producer Sameer Nair. Anurag Kashyap also joined in to talk a bit about the film and later passed on the microphone to members of the audience who wanted to ask a question! The session was moderated by Varun Grover.

Varun asked Vikramaditya why he chose to make a documentary on the Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi and not a feature. The filmmaker hinted at Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Emergency, based on the same subject, as he said, “The feature film is being made by somebody else!”

He added, “Samir Patil (of Scroll) approached me. I am a history buff. I studied history in college. This was supposed to be a series of 3 episodes.” He continued, “We realized that this was a great way to tell our recent history to an entire audience that has some idea but not a complete idea.”

Unlike documentaries that have interviews, Indi(r)a’s Emergency stands out. Vikramaditya Motwane explained, “I was clear that I didn’t want to do a typical documentary, with intervals et al. We decided to go with archival footage. We managed to find incredible footage from Getty, Pathe etc. Thankfully, Mr Sameer Nair stepped in and saw the rough cut. He decided to come on board.”

Anurag Kashyap pitched in, “I saw the three-hour version and was blown away by it. I told Motwane, ‘You have the b***s to make it’ and then you (pointing to Sameer Nair) have bigger b***s to rescue it. Hence, compliments to both of you (laughs)!”

Sameer Nair talked about when this film can be seen by more people. He began by saying, “We are submitting for censor as well.” As expected, the audience broke into laughter because the film also talks about censorship.

Sameer, on a serious note, added, “We would like to have a version that we can release theatrically as well. It’s important to tell us stories like this. And the way it’s done with the footage, animation, voiceover and writing, it is entertaining.”

Anurag Kashyap remarked, “It is entertaining and it’s also very powerful. It says a lot more than just the Emergency.”

Vikramaditya Motwane honestly admitted that his other project took priority over Indi(r)a’s Emergency and hence, the documentary took a while to be out. He didn’t name this project but he was probably referring to his acclaimed Amazon Prime Video show, Jubilee. He said, “We started working on it in early 2020. Sameer came on board in late 2021. Meanwhile, I shot something else and came back. In a way, it was like my step-child!”

Kangana Ranaut returned to theatres post the not-so-successful Chandramukhi 2 which featured her alongside Raghava Lawrence. While the film attempted to revive the blockbuster franchise which originally featured South stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Jyothika, Nayanthara, and Prabhu, failed to live up to the kind of blockbuster created by the 2005 film, the actress has now returned to theatres with another venture, Tejas. Although Tejas is a Bollywood film, it aims at touching the patriotic emotions within since it features Kangana in the role of an air force officer.

However, despite a massive fan following on social media, Kangana Ranaut has been unable to withstand the box office pressure and her recent release led to a disastrous start at the box office. This has not gone down well with the actress and although she often blames the ‘movie mafia’ for the failure of her movies, this time around Kangana has called this to be the ‘post COVID effect’.

Kangana Ranaut has taken to social media to share a video dedicating it to her fans and pleading them to go to theatres and watch the film. “Even before Covid, theatrical footfalls were dipping drastically, and post Covid it has become seriously rapid. Many theatres are shutting down and even after free tickets and many reasonable offers, drastic footfall decline is continuing. Requesting people to watch films in theatres and enjoy them with family and friends or else they (theatres) won’t be able to survive. Thanks (sic)."

Interestingly, the recent releases in Bollywood which includes films like Satyaprem Ki Katha, Jawan, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, among others have tasted massive success at the box office as stars have revealed about how Bollywood reemerged post the COVID effect.

Tejas is directed by Sarvesh Mewara and the film released on October 27.
