Filmmaker Suneel Darshan’s Jaanwar came at a time for Akshay Kumar when he was badly looking for a hit after a long series of flops. The film was an emotional story of a father and it also starred Karisma Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty.

As Jaanwar worked at the box office and managed to touch the audience, the actor was keen to work with the director again. So much so that when he heard that the filmmaker had visited a young actor after the release of Jaanwar, he got worried thinking that the director might not sign him for his next.

But Akshay soon came out of the anxiety as Suneel Darshan did cast him for his next Ek Rishtaa: The Bond Of Love. During a video interview with Bollywood Hungama, the filmmaker recalled the moment when he narrated the idea to him for the first time.

“He (Akshay) invited me for dinner one night at his house and asked, ‘Ab kya banaoge aap mere saath?’ So I just narrated another idea of mine to him. It was Ek Rishtaa. It was immediately after (Jaanwar),’ said Suneel Darshan.

Akshay was so mesmerized by the narration, that he went down-to-earth, literally. “We were just talking,” continued Suneel Darshan. “And in the process of the conversation, he sat down to the floor. He couldn’t believe that he was a part of a story that was so emotional. He had just lost his father. So, his emotional ends were quite ignited. He was so thankful that I had a story like this for him.”

Ek Rishtaa was about the relationship between a father (Amitabh Bachchan) and his son (Akshay), which goes sour. At the same time, the father, who runs a big company, gets duped by his employee and son-in-law, played by Mohnish Behl. The film was about how the father-son duo reunite for the sake of their business and family.

With the competition getting fierce and aggressive with each passing day, Bigg Boss 16 has seen many twists and turns. As the finale nears, we saw some of the most popular contestants bidding adieu to the show and it seems that Shalin Bhanot, who has been in news for his various stints in the reality show, has now expressed his desire to voluntarily bow out of the show. This comes as a surprise considering that the actor has been receiving a lot of support on the show. The actor also revealed that he is upset with the way Tina Datta backed out and didn’t take his side.

Bigg Boss 16: Shalin Bhanot expresses desire to quit show after accusing Tina Datta of ‘using’ him

His decision comes after Shalin Bhanot had a showdown with rapper MC Stan. The two engaged in a heated argument at the Bigg Boss house. Followed by that, the contestants were called into the confession room to speak about the matter. Meanwhile, Tina Datta was asked to give her verdict on the matter, during which, the Uttaran actress maintained that both the contestants were at fault. Her comment really hurt Shalin, who had earlier even confessed about having feelings for her, after which, he requested his exit from the show. The actor expressed that he felt betrayed after Tina refused to take his side, which prompted him to make this request.

Speaking about how both MC Stan and Shiv Thakare became physical, former Bigg Boss contestant Rahul Vaidya maintained that, “MC stan and shiv were very wrong today & both became physical on shalin! Both should be thrown out because It was Stan who abused first & charged on to Shalin and Shiv Scratched Shalin’s Face which was in extremely bad taste & is absolutely unacceptable!#BiggBoss16”. He added, “Shalin handled the whole situation very well and with composure! And in all this Sumbul again looked like a joker.” He concluded adding that abuses are not a good way to retaliate, “I am strongly against Maa Behen Abuses! Jitni gaali deni hai contestant ko do , usko jo kehna hai kaho ,not to his or her maa behen or family who are not even a part of the show! #badtaste #BiggBoss16”.


On the other hand, voicing out a similar opinion, Gauahar Khan said, “Shiv literally held shalins face n pushed it back , near his neck . So shouldn’t shiv evict himself ?????? #bully ! Shalin did not do anything wrong , he got unnecessarily abused by mcstan. His language is so so bad . Sick that whole group is full of bullies ! Omg ! I’m shocked , shiv didn’t attack his neck ?????????? Jhooth ! We all saw what happened!” Gauahar also commented on the show’s promo shared by the channel where she spoke about Tina Datta saying, “Bull crap!!! Tina had her eyes shut because of pain, but how could she have her ears & brains shut!”


Let us see what Salman Khan has to say about Shalin’s decision to quit Bigg Boss 16 on Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.

In an exclusive music room interview with Bollywood Hungama, while sharing the interesting behind-the-scenes stories of how they created their chart-buster scores, Salim also went on to reveal his most favorite song from their compositions.

Ye Hausla [from 2006 film Dor] is my favorite song from our compositions,” Salim shared during the chat. Further talking about the film and how the song was so pivotal for the particular scene in the film, Salim shared, “Our point of view was the initial version of the song Maula Mere Toote Na Ye Dor was based on the emotional bond between her [Ayesha] and her husband who is in captivity; he can only be sheltered by the wife of the deceased, according to the Sharia Law.

So, it was a sad moment because she is sad, and she is in disconcert as to how she can I free her husband. But the director’s point of view was something else... he wanted some positive element to the song, that’s why words like Raah Pe Kaante Bikhare Agar, Usape To Fir Bhi Chalana Hi Hai, Shaam Chhupa Le Suraj Magar, Raat Ko Ek Din Dhalana Hi Hai. So, this was beautifully penned by Mir Ali Hussain.”

The song has such beautiful words. We were done with the tune obviously, the way he expressed the words were just so apt for the song and then when Shafqat [Amanat Ali] came and sang it, it just felt like the song became a big one.”

Directed by Anirudh Iyer and produced by Aanand L Rai and Bhushan Kumar, An Action Hero is all set to release on December 2, 2022.

It is a roller coaster ride.”

On the other hand, Varun Dhawan is also gearing up for his next, Bhediya. The Amar Kaushik directorial is slated to release on November 25.

“I'm sure all of you saw the campaign build-up over the last couple of days the brand is called 82 East. Some of you have read that ad to East is the longitude that runs through India. And it really I think when we went through a whole bunch of options, it just felt absolutely correct for where I am in my life and what we wanted to say through this brand that we are truly proud of who we are as a nation as a country and also our relationship with the rest of the world. So it's a very, very special name,” said the actress.

Explaining why she picked self-care as her entrepreneur journey, DP asserted, “It's something that has been very personal to me a journey that I've learned and discovered through trial and error over a period of time and I've reached a stage in my life where I don't prioritize anything more than myself care. Skincare has been an extremely important part of my self-care ritual. It's you know, it's that time in the morning when I just have those few moments to myself. Healthy skin is something that I'm really passionate about.”

The last one week has been a dramatic one thanks to the developments that happened over Hera Pheri 3. Speculations arose that Akshay Kumar is out of the film while Kartik Aaryan has stepped in. On Friday, November 11, Paresh Rawal confirmed on Twitter that Kartik is indeed a part of the much-awaited sequel. Later, Akshay Kumar at an event claimed that he was out of Hera Pheri 3 as he was not happy with the script.

EXCLUSIVE “There are speculations that Kartik Aaryan replaced Akshay Kumar in Hera Pheri 3. Akshay CANNOT be replaced. The makers are in talks with Kartik for a COMPLETELY different character” – Suniel Shetty

Today, an article in Mid-Day carries a quote from Suniel Shetty who reveals that he’s shocked at the sudden turn of events. He also gave hope to the fans as he said “I want to see if things can still fall in place”, that is, if he, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal can reunite for Hera Pheri 3.

Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Suniel Shetty as part of the promotions of his web series, Dharavi Bank. When asked to comment on his hope of getting the original cast back, he said, “That would be the best thing to happen. There are speculations that Kartik replaced Akshay. See, Akshay cannot be replaced. The makers are in talks with Kartik for a completely different character. So, there’s no argument.”

He also agreed that without Akshay Kumar, Hera Pheri 3 would be a different experience, “That void will always be there. What finally happens is something that needs to be seen. I am not aware because I am genuinely busy with Dharavi Bank. I have had no time to sit down and work on all this. After November 19, I’ll sit down and understand and talk to Akki and others and see what happened.”

He also spoke highly of Hera Pheri’s producer, “Firoz Nadiadwala, poor guy, hasn’t had a release for 14 years. He’s an old friend. Fingers crossed and I wish good for everybody.”

Hera Pheri (2000) starred Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty as tenants and Suniel Shetty as the landlord. The chemistry of the trio was much loved, which prompted Firoz Nadiadwala to make Phir Hera Pheri (2006). The sequel was a huge hit then but in the last couple of years, both films have achieved cult status. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama in June this year, Firoz confirmed that he’s going to take Hera Pheri 3 on floors very soon. The news spread like wildfire, and it proved the craze that the series has generated.
