However, Kangana didn’t appear to be very moved by it. “Yea, she would do it well as well. Kangana would do it well. She is a strong actor, she's very versatile,” he said as Shobhaa praised her work in Thalaivii. However, Kangana believed that Aamir did his utmost to avoid using her name. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama???? (@realbollywoodhungama) On Saturday morning, Kangana took to Twitter and tweeted, “Bechara Aamir Khan … ha ha he tried his best to pretend like he doesn’t know that I am the only three times national award winning actress none of those he mentioned has even one …Thank you @DeShobhaa ji I would love to play you."

Dangal, for me, was a film about women empowerment. But they don’t have time for any of my trails. I have two-three films coming up, but I don’t expect people to write about them.” She added, “How do these people become so petty? How do these people look at a film, like for an individual, ‘Arre yaar, iska na kuch ho jaye, main chup baithta hoon!’ How do they do that? How does it even work? For me, this is a revelation that this film, what Rani Laxmibai has done, is this freedom only mine? Doesn’t it belong to anybody else?” Kangana had recently announced the wrap of Emergency. The film has piqued the curiosity among viewers. The actress, who is also donning the director’s hat, will essay the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In the pipeline, she also has Tejas, Manikarnika Returns: The Legend of Didda, The Incarnation: Sita, a biopic on Bengali theatre personality Noti Binodini and Chandramukhi 2. On the other hand, Aamir Khan recently appeared in Laal Singh Chaddha. The movie struggled at the box office and failed to impress the audience. Aamir recently spoke about his career and said he would take a year and a half off from acting when he made an appearance at an event in Delhi.

Young Bollywood star Bhumi Pednekar is one of the most sought after actors in the Hindi film industry because of her towering performances in every film that she has done so far. Bhumi picks films that can have a positive impact on society like Badhaai Do, which completes one year of its release today. Badhaai Do not only got a lot of appreciation when it released in theatres and on OTT but Bhumi has also swept major awards for her sensitive performance as a lesbian girl in the film. Bhumi says, through Badhaai Do, she wanted to raise her voice for the LGBTQIA+ community and their rights in India. She says, “I have never considered myself to be just an actor. I have great regard for the medium of cinema. I think films can have a cultural and societal impact and through most of my films, I have tried to start a conversation about the need to understand causes and issues and maybe look out for a realistic solution to it. Through my films I try to have a conversation with audiences, the people of India, about things that matter.” Bhumi adds, “Badhaai Do is one such film that incorporates a very special place in my heart. I have been greatly invested in the empowerment of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have family and friends belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community and while I've been a part of their journey, at times, I've found myself helpless - I didn't know how to share their pain, love and grief. That's when Badhaai Do happened.” Bhumi received unanimous acclaim for her brilliant acting in the film. She is one of most woke actors in India today and has constantly shown her intent to stand up for issues that matter for nation building. She says, “The overwhelming love that I received conveyed to me that a film like this just had to be made! People are more aware towards making India a more inclusive place. Even at the peak of COVID-19, with major theatrical centres shut, with a boatload of restrictions - no night shows, theatres running at only 50% capacity and other curbs, Badhaai Do continued to pull people to the theatres and garner such incredible love from audiences.” Bhumi adds, “It even trended worldwide when it released on OTT, it got so much love and acclaim from people globally. I am humbled with all the love that I have received through the film and very grateful for many awards that I have been presented with. This means that the audiences are accepting what the film communicated. I think the film would have done so much more box office wise if it had released now, with COVID-19 subsided.” Bhumi further says, “I’m fortunate to have found a script like Badhaai Do which enabled me to voice for a cause that is close to my heart. Love is Love and I hope Badhaai Do contributed to sensitise people to this reality.” On the work front, Bhumi will be seen in films like Anubhav Sinha’s Bheed, Ajay Bahl’s The Ladykiller, Sudhir Mishra’s Afwaa, Gauri Khan produced Bhakshak, Mudassar Aziz’s Mere Husband Ki Biwi and a couple of more unannounced projects that will push the bar for cinema.

I believed that he loved me and will keep me happy for long life.” “At that time, he did not even had money for food hence I and his brother Mr.Shamas-Uddin managed everything without any personal benefit. Then we got married in the year 2010 and post 1year I deliver a child.

If I would be aware that in future I will have go through with all this pain that I am facing from past 12years, then I would have rather choosen to go with someone who would even has little money but not a person like him who along with the superstar became more liar and a cheater about which I had no idea when I got married to him.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aaliya Siddiqui (@aaliyanawazuddin) “He is stating that he gave me a divorce after the birth of our 1st child and than again post divorce I got into a relationship with him and we gave birth to our second child while being in a living relationship and I came to know later that he never considered me as his wife when we were not even divorced. These allegations are so disgusting and handling these things are so disrespectful. Hence, my only intention of this message is to show everyone that, this man is stopped so low and I want to show his true colours.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap remarked about his experience working with Abhishek Bachchan, saying that the actor has evolved dramatically in the years since his debut. Anurag collaborated with Abhishek as a dialogue writer in Mani Ratnam's film Yuva, and then directed Abhishek in Manmarziyaan, and had noticed a massive change in him. Anurag recalled anecdotes of working with Amitabh Bachchan in an interview with The Lallantop, which prompted him to discuss Abhishek. Amitabh, he claimed, was always open to constructive criticism and a man of his word. In an interview with The Lallantop, Anurag Kashyap stated, “We (Abhishek and Anurag) worked together on Yuva. I wrote the dialogues for that film. My brother was also an AD on it, and we worked quite a bit with Abhishek on the dubbing of that film as well... He’s a very hard-working person. He’s cultured, loves food. But he was very brattish in the beginning. He’d make fun of everything, not take things seriously. But people grow, and he grew. That Abhishek and the Abhishek I worked with on Manmarziyaan are two entirely different people.” Speaking of Amitabh, Anurag highlighted the actor's reaction to being requested to tone down the Amitabh Bachchan-ness of his portrayal in Yudh. He said, “He takes criticism well. I noticed that he was delivering a typical Amitabh Bachchan-style performance, and I wanted something more real, and this is what I told him.” On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan has appeared in many streaming projects, including Breathe: Into the Shadows, Ludo, Bob Biswas, The Big Bull, and Dasvi. On the other hand, Anurag's latest film, Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat, hit theatres last week.

And by the time Pathaan released and instantly became a rage world over, ‘Besharam Rang’ got transformed into an anthem, not just in India but also abroad. In an exclusive video interview with Bollywood Hungama, the film’s music composers Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani, popularly known as Vishal-Sheykhar, got candid about the film’s music. They revealed that ‘Besharam Rang’ was the first song they composed for Pathaan. During the course of the conversation, Vishal asked Sheykhar, “I think we did ‘Besharam Rang’ first na?” To this, his partner replied, “Yeah, that was the first song.” After the release of the song, Vishal had shared his thoughts behind its making saying, “‘Besharam Rang’ is a unique song. It is a confluence of genres that makes it very exciting musically. It is almost an old-school melody paired with a modern beat that is influenced by Afro beat but is electronic. What I love most is how a true melody transcends language, because while (singer) Shilpa (Rao) is singing it, it sounds like a very traditional Indian melody and (singer) Caralisa (Monteiro) and I are singing a Spanish version of that melody and it sounds authentic there too.” Meanwhile, Pathaan is still going strong at the box office and is now in the race to reach the mammoth number of Rs 500 crores nett in India.

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra continued the practise of wearing matching red dresses by Manish Malhotra, much as they did during their wedding. In a high-low salwar suit with a plunging V-neckline, matching pants, and a sheer organza dupatta to finish the monotone ensemble, Kiara Advani was decked out in all the regalia of a bride. We adore how she opted for a more natural look while letting her bridal glow and her vivid red sindoor do the talking. To combat the waning winter nights in Delhi, Sidharth Malhotra wore his red kurta with a white salwar, brown leather juttis, and a flowery shawl. Meanwhile, the couple tied the knot on February 7 at Suryagarh Palace, Jaisalmer. The two met while filming the movie Shershaah. Although Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra only recently made their relationship official on Instagram, it appears to us that their love story is meant to last. We wish Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani many more years of marital joy, love, and stylish moments together. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama????

Farzi is your first foray into the OTT space. How would you describe the experience? Is it any different from doing the films for the big screen? I’m very excited to be doing my OTT debut, as everybody calls it. I think I did it because I love the directors Raj and DK and their work, and I actually really, really liked the idea and the concept behind Farzi, the world of counterfeiting. I felt Sunny was a character that was as challenging as some of my most challenging characters as I’ve done yet. So I immediately wanted to do it. And was it any different shooting for an OTT series? Of course, it’s different because you’re watching the character over five to six hours as opposed to maybe two to two and a half hours. So it’s a deeper, wider opportunity to bring a character to life, that’s it. Farzi gave you the opportunity to work with the great Vijay Sethupathi and also the creators Raj and DK. So what was that experience like? With Raj and DK, I’ve loved Family Man very much and we’ve met over time and always wanted to collaborate. So I was really looking forward to it. In fact, I asked them if they have a show because they were calling me for a movie because they didn’t really expect… they didn’t think after Kabir Singh, I’d like to do something like that, or whatever. But I actually asked them for it and probed for it, and then they actually told me about this concept which we had discussed as a movie earlier. So why was the feature film converted into a digital series? It was just too elaborate to turn into a movie, to fit into a movie. It was only extremely sensible of them to turn it into a show because it deserves that much screen time. What was it like working with Vijay Sethupathi? With Vijay sir, it’s been a pleasure. And I want to see how people receive the show. He’s a fantastic actor who has always rediscovered himself and given people completely different experiences when he has come on the big screen. So it’s a privilege to have him on the show. And I had a blast working with him. Shahid, it’s been twenty years since you started as a leading man. How do you look back on your career so far? I feel very fortunate to still be here. And I feel grateful that people find my work relevant. I feel there’s a lot more that I would like to do. And I think I am as charged as I was at the age of 21, giving my first shot, as I am today. And I think that’s the best part of the entire journey, that I still am as excited and as curious to get on that film floor and give my next shot. I think that’s what drives any artist. Tell me about your forthcoming projects? I’ve got Farzi coming out on February 10. And then there’s a movie with Ali Abbas Zafar, which is an action thriller, a slick action fun film, which will come out in the middle of this year. And then there’s a high-concept quirky love story that I’m doing with Maddock Films, which is directed by a new director. His name is Amit Joshi. It has me and Kriti Sanon in it, and Dharam ji and Dimple ma’am and various other very talented people.

Shah Rukh Khan – Deepika Padukone – John Abraham starrer Pathaan has become the highest-grossing film worldwide, thereby surpassing Dangal. The film has also breached Rs. 400 crore nett in India, the first Hindi film to do so in the history of Hindi cinema. As the film continues its run in theatres with the audience celebrating the win, actor Prakash Raj says that the boycott calls that were made prior to the release were just people barking. At the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters in Kerala, Raj said, “They wanted to ban Pathaan. It’s doing Rs. 700 crore. These idiots, bigots…who wanted to ban Pathaan, did not run Modi’s film (PM Narendra Modi) for Rs. 30 crore. They are just you know… barking, won’t bite. Sound pollution.” The actor then went onto criticize Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files saying, “Kashmir Files is one of the nonsense films, but we know who produced it. Shameless. International jury spits on them. The director is asking why I am not getting Oscar. He will not even get a Bhaskar. I tell you because there is a sensitive media out there. Here you can do a propaganda film. According to my sources, they have invested around Rs. 2000 crore to only make films like this. But you can’t fool people all the time.” The actor attended the festival as one of the speakers along with Kabir Bedi, Amitav Ghosh and Sudha Murthy. On the work front, Prakash Raj was seen in the Tamil film Varisu alongside Thalapathy Vijay and the Telugu film Waltair Veerayya alongside Chiranjeevi.

One of the greatest singers of all time, Lata Mangeshkar, passed away a year ago, on February 6, 2022, at the age of 92. She shared a deep bond with several industry personalities, one of whom was Madhur Bhandarkar. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to the acclaimed director after the release of his film India Lockdown in December 2022. At that point, he opened up about the legendary singer. We are living in the era of song remixes but Madhur Bhandarkar has never gone for recreations even though music companies definitely must have suggested him to do so. In reply, Madhur Bhandarkar said, “Yes, I have got the suggestion but I never felt the need to do so. But I am not against the recreation of songs. My favourite song is ‘Do Ghoont Mujhe Bhi Pila De Sharabi’ (Jheel Ke Us Paar; 1973) by Lata Mangeshkar. I’d definitely work on a song sung by her or Asha Bhosle if I feel the need. I am a big fan of R D Burman. The songs I play in my car and at home are from films from the 70s and 80s.” Madhur Bhandarkar continued, “My proximity to Lata didi also plays a part. I miss her. There was a time when I would call her every 15 days. Her blessings are always there for me. On January 1, 2022, I called her and asked for her blessings. I told her that I am making a film named India Lockdown. She got very happy and asked me, ‘Madhur, how do you get these titles?’ I was there at her funeral till the very end.” He sighed, “I miss her as interacting with her every now and then was a part of my life for 15-16 years. No matter in which part of the world I am, I would call her. Sometimes, I would play songs from her old films. She would ask me ‘Kaunsi film ka gaana tha yeh’? When I would tell her, she’d be like ‘Oh yes’ and smile. I miss these interactions. There has been a void in my life since her passing. There will not be another Lata didi ever. I still listen to her songs and I keep remembering her. She was genuinely happy about my success.” Madhur Bhandarkar then revealed, “The last song that she sang is with me. I had recorded it for Corporate (2006) but we did not use it in the film. It’s unreleased and the rights are with me. I will definitely use it in some film depending on the situation. This is her third song in my film after ‘Kitne Ajeeb Rishte’ in Page 3 (2005) and ‘Daata Sunn Le’ in Jail (2009).” ‘Kitne Ajeeb Rishte’ is a memorable song, though it was released 17 years ago, and is often remembered when friends turn foes or vice versa. Madhur smiled as he stated, “‘Kitne Ajeeb Rishte’ is a relationship anthem. When warring parties come together in politics or when someone goes through a breakup, this song is played or remembered.” Also Read: India Lockdown EXCLUSIVE: “I don’t know what it is with me and Censor Board”, says Madhur Bhandarkar; reveals Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji was given ‘A’ certificate because of the word ‘virginity’

When Shah Rukh Khan turned 50, the Tamilian maverick actor Kamal Haasan paid the actor who played a Pathan free of fee for Kamal in Hey Ram, lavish compliments for his qualities of humility practicality and apolitical astuteness. Said Kamal Haasan, “Probably Shah Rukh knew where he was headed. Probably he did not know where he'd end up on the ladder but was willing to climb till he could no more. With that mind-set humility is something you had to train on right from the word go. Shah Rukh first practiced on a quality that most successful people try to practice when it is too late. Early trainers like him require least humility lessons at the top late trainers learn the hard way. Humility is taught through humiliating lessons.” Kamal was all praise for Shah Rukh’s powers of apolitical articulation. “Shah Rukh spoke the best part of his mind for all to hear and the worst part he digested like food and the world never saw it. No, that does not make him a politician.” Kamal Haasan is extremely fond of Shah Rukh. They go back a long way to the time 12 years ago, when Shah Rukh agreed to do an extended cameo in Kamal Haasan's Hey Ram. Kamal Haasan who played the role of the cop on the lookout for a serial killer in the Tamil hit Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, expressed a keen interest in Shah Rukh playing the role in the film's Hindi version. When Gautham Menon, who understandably respects Kamalji opinion, asked the thespian who should play his role in the Hindi remake, Kamal promptly gave Shah Rukh's name. Kamal Haasan and Shah Rukh share a mutual admiration society from the time they worked together in Hey Ram in 2000. Shah Rukh had refused to charge any money for the film claiming that the honour of working with the great Kamal Haasan was reward enough. Says Kamal Haasan appreciatively, "Shah Rukh is a true Pathan. A man of his words. I owe him a big favour." For a party in Chennai to celebrate Kamal Haasan’s career in 2013 Shah Rukh not only flew down he danced drenched in sweat from head to toe. Recalled Kamal Haasan, "He danced wonderfully on stage and it looked like he had come out of the bath and forgotten to dry." The air conditioning at the posh luxury hotel had conked off leaving SRK swathed in sweat. Says Kamal, "It was every celebrity-bash's worst nightmare come true. The air conditioning at the hotel broke down. We were all left seething and simmering in the heat, helpless, angry and bitter. Shah Rukh was fully and formally dressed in a suit for the occasion. His condition in the heat was indescribable. But look at this entertainer! He pulled off his coat, jumped on to the stage and danced, although he dripped sweat like he had just had a bath." Shah Rukh, we are told, was pretty much completely drained out and on the verge of dehydration after his sweat-soaked performance. "But he didn't care. At that moment, he forgot all his discomfort. It was just Shah Rukh Saab (that's how Kamal Haasan addresses his junior colleague) and the stage. He is a natural-born entertainer," says Kamal Haasan. Says Kamal emotionally, “Shah Rukh is an artiste at heart and I wish my younger brother stays that way. I wish that success like the one it always has will sit very lightly on his shoulder. Wishing more success to him will induce only emotional sniffles but then that might be only from his detractors .Old friends like me never tire of his success. More to you, Brother, more of all that you love in life” Also Read: Pathaan: Shah Rukh Khan kept Tiger’s scarf as memento; talks about epic cameo of Salman Khan: ‘Matlab fans ka sawaal hai, choti script pe nahi chodh sakte’

Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar created the ‘angry young man’ trope in the 80s in Hindi cinema with Zanjeer which changed the trajectory of the writer duo Salim-Javed and Amitabh Bachchan. As Big B became one of the biggest stars of that era, so did the writers who went on to pen several big films. Salim Khan recently recalled how many actors had said no to the film. In an interview on Bollywood Bubble, Salim Khan told Arbaaz Khan that actors like Dharmendra, Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar had passed on the script of Zanjeer when it finally landed with Amitabh Bachchan. No leading lady was attached to the project and many didn’t want to star due to the small role. So, Amitabh Bachchan reached out to Jaya Bachchan and asked her to star in it.

Maine kaha ki haan ismein kuch hai nahi aapka zyada magar Amitabh Bachchan ke liye yeh ek aisi kahani hai ki yeh phod ke rakh degi (I suggested let’s take Jaya Bachchan. She will do it and she will do it for him. When I narrated the story to her, she said that she doesn’t have much to do in the film. I said yes, you don’t have much to do here but it can change Amitabh’s career).” Salim Khan said that Amitabh Bachchan was known for his professionalism and Salim-Javed ensure to bring up his name during every project. However, following the split of Salim and Javed, Amitabh didn’t keep in touch with Salim as he was reserved in nature. He said, “Yeh joh thi relation rakhne ki responsibility, unpe thi. Aap jab bahut bade star ho jaate ho, aapki responsibility hoti hai ki usse milna julna joh bhi ho, relationship rakhna yeh aapka farz banta hai.

Ever since the 16th season of Bigg Boss premiered on TV, Dalljiet Kaur has often been trending on social media. For the unversed, Dalljiet’s former husband and actor Shalin Bhanot has participated in the Salman Khan-hosted show. The duo had parted ways on an ugly note. However, this time, the actress is making headlines for a good reason as after eight years of her divorce from Shalin Bhanot, she has finally decided to give love a second chance. Yes! You read it right. The Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon actress is all set to tie the knot with UK-based Nikhil Patel, who works with a finance company, in March this year. Post her wedding with Nikhil, she will move with her nine-year-old son, Jaydon, to London. While speaking about the same, Dalljiet told the Times Of India, “The wedding is in March, and I am still figuring out a lot of things. I will move to Nairobi (Africa) for a couple of years, as Nikhil is placed there for work right now. We will eventually move back to London, where he was born and raised.” The 40-year-old TV actress further added, “I met Nick at a friend’s party in Dubai last year. I only spoke about my son, and he was talking about his two daughters, 13-year-old Aariyana and eight-year-old Aanika. He wore blue nail polish on his toes, and when I asked him about it, he replied, ‘I am a proud dad of two girls.’ The romance wasn’t in the air back then; it was just two single parents chatting. Love happened with time. It was our love for our children that connected us. While Anika lives with her mother in the US, Aariyana will live with us.” As the conversation progressed further, Dalljiet also spoke about her plans to facilitate Shalin and Jaydon’s meeting. She said, “Jaydon needs to have the most normal life and he can only have that if he has his people, including Shalin, around him. Shalin is more than welcome to meet Jaydon and I will bring him to India to meet him. He should know that his father loves him. Hamein iss bachhe ka sochna chahiye jiska koi lena dena nahi hai jo bhi jhagde hue ya nahi hue. Both of us need to step up as his parents and this is our chance. If Shalin gets married, I will be the one to introduce that girl to Jaydon.” Talking about giving love a second chance, Dallijiet explained, “My biggest fear was that I shouldn’t make a wrong decision. However, as I was picking up the broken pieces of my life, along with realising how much Jaydon missed having a dad, it was also about me missing a companion, which I didn’t feel earlier. I am in love with Nikhil and can feel butterflies in my stomach every time he calls me. I never thought this would happen. I always thought that I would marry first and then fall in love.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by DALLJIET KAUR ੴ (@kaurdalljiet) As she will be relocating to the UK, the actress also shed some light on continuing her acting career. She asserted, “I have signed a couple of projects and am ready to come back to Mumbai. Nick says that he will take care of the kids when I am travelling as I will do the same when he is travelling for work. Bahut fears hain, but because Nick is holding my hand through this, I think everything will be great.” Also Read: Bigg Boss 16: After Shalin Bhanot breaks down, ex-wife Dalljiet Kaur expresses her support for him on social media

After the pandemic, the theatrical collections got hit initially. This prompted the filmmakers to reduce the window between theatrical release and OTT premiere from 8 weeks to 4 weeks. Once the cinema business gradually came back on track, the industry went back to following the old rule from August 1, 2022. Ever since, all the films which have been released in cinemas have arrived on streaming giants only after completion of 8 weeks. However, two major films of last year – Vikram Vedha and Bhediya – have still not arrived on any OTT platform, despite the former releasing in theatres 19 weeks ago and the latter 11 weeks ago. A lot of moviegoers are wondering about the reason behind it and can be seen discussing it on social media. Bollywood Hungama has found out the reason behind the delayed digital premieres of these two movies. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Both Vikram Vedha and Bhediya will be premiered on the new super-app of Jio. This super-app is going to be launched soon and is sure to become a talking point. Along with the premieres of Vikram Vedha and Bhediya, it’s the app where IPL (Indian Premier League) 2023 will also be aired.” Another source said, “The idea is to premiere not just Vikram Vedha and Bhediya but also several other films. As per the plan, every week, there’ll be a film premiere. While some of these are theatrical releases, a few of them will get a direct OTT release. The list of all these films will be hopefully unveiled at the time of the launch of the super-app.” Meanwhile, there has been a discussion on social media that this new app will be called JioVoot but there has been no confirmation on the same from our sources. Vikram Vedha, which was released on September 30, 2022, starred Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte. It is directed by Pushkar-Gayatri, who also directed the 2017 original Tamil film of the same name, co-starring R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi. Bhediya, on the other hand, starred Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. Directed by Amar Kaushik of Stree (2018) and Bala (2019) fame, it was released in cinemas on November 25, 2022.

Sidharth dodged the question and said, “I am manifesting a happier and brighter future.” When asked, “With Kiara?” Sidharth smiled as he answered, “If it was her, it would be great.” On the work front, Kiara Advani was last seen in Govinda Naam Mera. She will next star in Satyaprem Ki Katha alongside Kartik Aaryan and RC15 with South superstar Ram Charan. Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra was most recently seen in Mission Majnu.
