What happened actually was when he left, he was in his car. While leaving, he waved looking at everyone. Mujhe actually laga ki unhone mujhe dekha (I thought he looked at me).”

“Toh bas main pura time khush tha ki, ‘Shah Rukh sir ne mujhe dekh liya. Toh mera din ban gaya, mera Mumbai aana safal hogaya uss time’ (So I was happy the entire time thinking, 'Shah Rukh sir saw me. My day has been made, coming to Mumbai was worth it)'.

The outfit was finished by a similar white-gold blouse with a fitted bust, puffed half-length sleeves, short midriff-baring hem, and a plunging V neckline emphasising her décolletage.

Janhvi glammed up the seductive photo shoot by choosing makeup that made a statement, such as dramatic kohl-lined eyes, subtle eye shadow, thick mascara on the lashes, darker brows, a neutral lip colour, reddened cheeks, a light foundation, and softly contoured face. Finally, Janhvi decided on a beaded necklace, delicate earrings, and centre-parted open wavy hair to complete the look.

Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol were a formidable director-actor pair in the 1990s with films like Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak gaining the status of iconic films. Following this, the two did try coming together again but things never fell in place. But now, after around 27 years, the two have joined hands for a film titled Lahore: 1947.

Santoshi shared the news during a conversation with PinkVilla. He also revealed that the film will go on floors soon and it will be “bigger” than his earlier films with Sunny. “Yes, my immediate next film is called Lahore: 1947. It’s set against the backdrop of partition with Sunny Deol in lead. Sunny and I were trying to make a film for a long time but nothing worked out. But now, I am confident that this film will be bigger than Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak,” said the filmmaker.

Sharing more details about the shoot, Santoshi added, “If everything goes as planned, we will take the film on floors from March 1 in Mumbai. We will be creating Lahore city in a studio. The set is a part of the story and a large chunk of film will be shot on this set. It’s a very ambitious film. This is my dream. I have been planning to make it for the last 10 years and things have finally fallen into place. I plan to wrap up Lahore: 1947 by May and then proceed to its post-production.”

Years ago, it was believed that there was a rift between Santoshi and Sunny, which reportedly escalated further when both of them released a film each on the revolutionary Bhagat Singh on the same day in 2002 titled The Legend Of Bhagat Singh and 23rd March 1931: Shaheed respectively.

Lahore: 1947 will be Sunny's second movie on partition after the all-time blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001). Interestingly, the sequel to the film, titled Gadar 2, is currently in the making.

Shah Rukh Khan’s last few films like Fan (2016), Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) and Zero (2018) bombed at the box office. But looking at the hype for Pathaan, it seems like he’s going to bounce back with vengeance. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh made a dramatic statement on this aspect, “Shah Rukh is going to silence all the cynics and all the naysayers who wrote his obituary.”

Boycott movement for Pathaan fails as Shah Rukh Khan likely to make a SOLID comeback at the box office: “Shah Rukh is going to SILENCE all the cynics and all the naysayers who wrote his obituary”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan observed, “It’s a very important film not just for Shah Rukh Khan but for the industry as a whole after a dismal 2022. For Shah Rukh, this film means everything It’s his first out of the 3 films in 2023. This film will indicate how excited people are to see him.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise in Jaipur, said, “He’s coming after four years. He has got the biggest fan following when it comes to Hindi actors. Moreover, this is an action film, matching international standards. These are very strong factors that go in favour of the film.”

Boycott movement miserably fails

A section of netizens tried resorting to the boycott model. But it is clear that it has miserably failed in the case of Pathaan. Taran Adarsh said, “The numbers will give a karara jawabAap apni raai de sakte ho but you cannot tell the audience ki aap yeh dekho ya yeh na dekho.”

Atul Mohan thundered, “Boycott calls will fizzle out. Arre kyun ban kareinAap reason toh do. They have no reason. There should be some logic behind such protests. Even Padmaavat (2018) was targeted. Yet, it collected Rs. 300 crores. Even the public understands that these people are just doing it for two minutes of fame.”

Raj Bansal agreed, “It has totally fizzled out. No boycott trend has affected any film. Now that the advance has slowly opened and one can sense the craze for the film, it is clear that the boycott movement has failed.”

Today marks the 37th birth anniversary of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The star passed away at his residence by hanging on June 14, 2020. Not surprisingly, there are continuous wishes pouring in for him on social media. This also includes Rhea Chakraborty, who was in a relationship with him. The actress took to her official Instagram page and shared a couple of her pictures with Sushant.

The first one sees the two of them in the background with their faces partially hidden by two white-coloured tea cups. Although one can only see Rhea’s eyes, it is evident that she is smiling wide. The second one is a clearer picture of another happy moment between Sushant and Rhea, with both dressed in dark colours. Surprisingly, except a heart emoji, Rhea didn’t put any caption for the post.

As expected, the comments section of the post is flooded with emotional messages from SSR’s fans. Along with them, one can find actress Shibani Dandekar’s comment too. Without saying anything in particular, she only dropped a red heart emoji for her friend, with whom she has been spotted quite a few times.

Sushant arrived on the scene for the first time with the successful television serial Pavitra Rishta. His character, named Manav, and the show gained a lot of popularity. His first movie turned out to be Kai Po Che. The actor’s last film Dil Bechara was released posthumously in 2020.

I’ll never want my producers to lose, nor would I like my fans to lose heart.”

Kartik Aaryan has an interesting line-up for the coming year with multiple projects being in his kitty, including Shehzada. The ensemble star cast of the film also includes Kriti Sanon, Paresh Rawal, and Manisha Koirala, among others. It is a remake of Allu Arjun-starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which was released in 2020.

The actor also reunites with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 co-star Kiara Advani in Satyaprem Ki Katha. He has Aashiqui 3, and Kabir Khan’s next as well.

Abhay Deol is in the news after his recently released web series, Trial By Fire, got massive acclaim. He has been giving interviews to promote the show and one in-depth conversation he had recently was with the tabloid, Mid-Day. In this interview with the tabloid’s entertainment editor Mayank Shekhar, he spoke in length not just about Trial By Fire but also about his family, being an insider and yet an outsider, his past films and a lot more. He also broke the silence on the allegations made by Anurag Kashyap around two-and-a-half years ago.

In an interview with Huffington Post in June 2020, Anurag Kashyap claimed that working with Abhay was “painfully difficult” and that he doesn’t have great working memories with him. He said, “He wanted to do artistic movies but also wanted the mainstream benefits. The benefits and luxuries of being a ‘Deol’. He would stay in a five-star hotel while the entire crew stayed in Paharganj for a film that was made on a very tight budget. Also the reason a lot of his directors went away from him.”

On this, Abhay Deol clarified that he never demanded a five-star hotel room. To quote Abhay, “Anurag went in public and told a lot of lies about me. One lie was that I demanded a [five-star] hotel room during the shoot of Dev D. He had actually come up to me and said, ‘Listen you can’t stay with us, you are a Deol. So, I want to put you up in a hotel room.’ He literally told me that. What he told the press was that I demanded it.”

Abhay then minced no words as he thundered, “I had my heart on my sleeve, and all that is great — but you get taken advantage of, and then you get reactive. So, he (Kashyap) was a good lesson for me. Then I just avoided him, because I don’t need toxic people in my life. Life is too short, and there is so much more to explore. But he (Kashyap) is definitely a liar and a toxic person. And I would warn people about him.”

Abhay Deol then revealed that after Anurag Kashyap “said that crap” about him, he sent him apology messages. Abhay stated, “He does that all the time. He was like, ‘You want to shout at me, scream at me…’ And I was like, ‘I don’t care. It’s been 12 years. You don’t feature in my thoughts even now; get over it.’ He said, ‘Forgive me because I have had a bad day.’ I said you are forgiven. I never had a personal agenda. It was far bigger than just me. That is how I feel about everything. How much of this is he going to do? And I would have never taken his name and said the things, had he not gone public either.”

Last year, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhay Deol was asked to describe some of the celebrities during a rapid-fire round. When asked about Anurag Kashyap, he called him a ‘gaslighter’. Abhay then explained that he wanted his films to speak for themselves and hence, didn’t like marketing himself. But certain filmmakers had reservations about it and hence he was ‘gaslit’ into thinking that he didn’t care much about his films.

The release of Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, is less than a week away and the excitement is unprecedented. An exhibitor on condition of anonymity told Bollywood Hungama, “There’s a lot of demand to open Pathaan’s bookings. So many moviegoers are flocking to cinemas asking for ticket sales to commence. Aaj kal log theatre hi nahin aate. Iss baar log aa rahe hai advance booking karne.”

INSANE demand for Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan at the box office “The exhibitors are JUMPING with joy. Woh bol rahe hai ki ’Picture ko 25th ko mat leke aao. Jaldi leke aao!’”

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh agreed to this, “Everyone in the industry is very euphoric and optimistic. I was talking to three prominent exhibitors. They are jumping with joy. Woh bol rahe hai ki ’Picture ko 25th ko mat leke aao. Jaldi leke aao’! Such excitement is very rare when the entire industry is dependent on one film. It’ll show the way forward. The first quarter has a lot of exciting films lined up. But jab pehle ball pe koi chauka maar deta haitoh baat hi alag hoti hai!”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan observed, “There’s a lot of curiosity. Every moviegoer wants to watch Pathaan. The people are asking ‘Advance kab khul raha hai’. This doesn’t happen usually. Advance ka toh demand nahin hota. Yahan par toh advance kab khulega uska demand hai! Also, overseas advance booking is very impressive. And that’s not surprising as Shah Rukh is the king.”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, exulted, “The curiosity and excitement levels and the noise levels are supremely high. Everyone is talking about the film. Even the boycott trends are adding to the hype. TV channels are discussing it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking his party members to tone down their statements over films in general added to the hype for Pathaan indirectly. So, awareness levels are 10/10. Shah Rukh Khan coming after 4 years is a major draw. The villain for any big film is very critical. John Abraham is a huge plus as he also has a mammoth following. Deepika Padukone is the queen of the hearts and box office. Hence, Hindi cinema cannot get a bigger or better film to bet on.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise in Jaipur, in agreement, said, “After Drishyam 2, there has not been a good Hindi film. Hence, for more than two months, many have been waiting for a film that they can see in theatres. Pathaan, meanwhile, ticks all boxes – it has Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, it has action and is very well mounted.”

Kiritbhai T Vaghasia, who runs The Friday Cinema multiplex in Surat, said, “Every section of the society is aware of Pathaan, due to the controversy or because of the songs. Mostly, films come and go and the general public is not even aware. With Pathaan, that’s not the case.”

He added, “There are a lot of enquiries. It’ll surely have a rocking advance. Also, the trailer promises big-screen entertainment. It is shot in some stunning places and has action. The star cast is very exciting. Hence, I am 100% sure it’ll have a great run, even if reports are mixed. All those, who regularly watch films, will surely head to the cinemas to check out Pathaan.”

Recently, in a conversation with journalist, actor Kubbra Sait recalled about the time when she was shooting with her co-star Salman Khan for the film Ready. She revealed that Salman had arrived 5 hours late to shoot and asked for lunch break immediately.

Kubbra Sait reveals the time when Salman Khan arrived 5 hours late at the set; says, “Salman Khan comes and flexes his back says, ‘Let's have lunch break?’”

Kubbra Sait, has made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan’s film Ready that was released in 2011. She is also mostly known for her role as Kukoo in Sacred Games. Kubbra shared the difficulties she experienced while shooting with bug star Salman Khan. She revealed that the entire crew was waiting for Salman Khan since morning and he had arrived in the evening.

Kubbra played the character of a house help. Sharing her terrible experience at the set when she had asked for breakfast, she said, “I said breakfast? They said apple, they flung an apple at my face. I asked for one more and they flung another apple at my face. They were saying we’ll start the shoot at 10. That became 11, 11 became 12”.

While talking in a vide interview, Kubbra recalled the time when she had to wait for hours for Salman Khan at the set. She shared that at around 2:45 pm, Salman arrived on set, almost five hours late and only then the crew took notice. “You know someone important has arrived. That important person is the hero of the film. Everyone’s pulling up their pants and like let’s do some work and there emerges Salman Khan. We were shooting at a golf course so it’s a visual. There are these big, massive life-sized windows and Salman Khan comes and flexes his back, moves his head to either side and says, ‘Let's have lunch break?’... I had eaten just one apple since morning. Maybe we should finish some work also. But no, we had lunch.” she concluded, laughing.

However, the actress also shared the positives from the set. Kubbra said that working with Salman was special, as he made sure that everyone on set felt included.

Kubbra was last seen in Rajat Kapoor’s RK/RKay starring alongside Rajat, Mallika Sherawat, Ranvir Shenoy and Manu Rishi Chadda.

On Friday morning we woke up to reports of the indefatigable Mahesh Bhatt having undergone heart surgery. But when I touched base with the Arth director here’s what he had to say, “It’s technically incorrect to call this procedure a surgery. A surgery is where they use the knife. Angioplasty is a bloodless common procedure. It takes half hour and a mandatory stay in the ICU and then one is discharged the next day.”

Bhatt Saab is all praise for the medical team which handled his bloodless surgical procedure. “I was in the hands of the best of best team of doctors at the H.N Reliance Hospital. The procedure was on January 16. I was home on January 18. I am alive and ‘kicking’ my friend. And I was working on my next book since 5 am when your message pinged.”

Bhatt Saab further added, “My procedure was planned for the Jan 16. It was during a routine body check-up that the doctors raised a ‘red flag’ and suggested that since I am in good health we must take a pre-emptive step and deal with this.”

The unwavering filmmaker says he went into the surgical procedure as a pre-emptive. “I had no symptoms which compelled me to take this self-initiated step. I am 74 and with age the ‘calcification’ of the arteries does take place. Let me leave you with this unchangeable truth. Ageing is not optional it’s inevitable.”
