The ascension of BTS to international recognition has been nothing short of extraordinary. With each new musical project, business partnership, global tour, and other endeavours, the pop titans have been making a mark of themselves. The septet, which consists of RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, has attracted the crème de la crème of the luxury market and occasionally seals big deals. The extensive list of BTS brand partnerships demonstrates the lads' dominance in the international entertainment industry. The portfolio of the BTS lads includes brands including Disney+, McDonald's, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Louis Vuitton, and Dior. The individual brand value of each member of BTS is equal to or greater than that of the group as a whole. The most recent development is that RM of BTS has been named a Bottega Veneta brand ambassador. Brands have knocked on each member's door, especially after their June 2022 statement that they will be concentrating on separate careers. SUGA x Valentino, Jimin x Tiffany & Co., J-Hope x Louis Vuitton, Jungkook x Calvin Klein have recently signed contracts with these prestigious companies. RM now joins the camp. Milan, Italy is home to the upmarket fashion label Bottega Veneta. Ready-to-wear, purses, shoes, accessories, and jewellery are among its product categories. Bottega Veneta's creative director Matthieu Blazy welcomed BTS star RM as their new global ambassador via social media. Many people have noticed the post, and the ARMY is unable to remain calm because they only had positive things to say. This cooperation has long been rumoured, but it has now been confirmed. ARMY had suspected that RM is all set to become the brand ambassador for the Italian luxury brand when he was spotted at the Bottega Veneta show during the Milan Fashion Week 2023. It is known that he does in fact, admire the brand and now, he is representing it. Creative director Blazy took to social media as he tagged RM in the picture, and added the caption, “Welcome to the family”. The photo sees RM carrying the brand’s Andiamo bag, which looks like is a part of their new Spring/Summer 2023 campaign. Interestingly, RM had spoken about the brand earlier, and he told El País, “Bottega [Veneta] is different” despite the fact that he has “lost interest in brands”. He added, "They don’t use logos, they have a history with weaving and leather, they don’t even have Instagram. They are beyond the buzz.” On the work front, BTS’ RM released his solo album Indigo last year.

Meanwhile, Maria Grazia Chiuri also shared the picture on her Instagram account, and wrote, “I was so touched to meet the iconic Rekha gi last night for the first time.

Ranveer, in his role as 'sutradhaar' for the upcoming season of the "Incredible League", will be involved in creating a stream of immersive and entertaining content which brings alive compelling narratives from the past, present, and future of the league. The journey of the ‘sutradhaar’ starts with the opening weekend (Fri, Mar 31 – Sun, Apr 2) as Ranveer introduces the key narratives for the 16th edition of the tournament, its biggest to date. Singh's collaboration with Star Sports is a significant move for the brand. Star Sports aims to leverage Singh's massive popularity and his deep love for sports to connect with diverse audience cohorts which haven't yet formed a deep relationship with Sports.

Singh, on the other hand, sees this association as a perfect opportunity to showcase his love for sports and share his passion with his fans.

I have grown up watching some of the most iconic moments in World sports on Star Sports, and it's an honour for me to be a part of this incredible journey.” Sanjog Gupta, Head- of Sports, at Disney Star, said, “We believe that sports in India is on the move but needs a continuous injection of fandom to turn into a full-fledged movement. In Ranveer Singh, we see a die-hard sports fan, a committed storyteller, and an entertainer par excellence, who is keen to use his popularity to grow sports. Working with him, we want to reach new audiences, who still haven't discovered their passion for the sport. This also includes millions of viewers, who haven't been watching Cricket or don't watch Cricket regularly. We want to use, in conjunction, the power of storytelling and Ranveer's popularity, to create a compelling invitation for them." Star Sports and Ranveer Singh’s journey as partners starts with the Opening Weekend of Tata IPL 2023 (Mar 31 – Apr 2), and continues through the tournament as heroes emerge and stories develop.

Dia Mirza is balancing her career in front of the camera while enjoying being a mother. The actress wrote a word of encouragement for all working mothers on Monday as a shout-out to them. On Monday, Dia took to Instagram and posted an adorable picture of herself with her son Avyaan Azad Rekhi. Sharing the picture, she wrote in caption, “I am so grateful for all the kind words coming our way for #Bheed. Thank you so much! I did this movie for our children. So they can watch it some day and learn the power of empathy. Thank you @anubhavsinhaa, hazaar baar thank you for making me a part of this story For all the new Mamma’s out there, finding it hard to get back to work, know this - we are better parents when we choose to do all that gives us joy. Our children will learn to appreciate and respect that we go to work too.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dia Mirza Rekhi (@diamirzaofficial) The film Bheed, which debuted on Friday, featured Dia as Geetanjali, an affluent woman who is stranded on the motorway due to the pandemic-induced lockdown and unable to reach her child. Anubhav Sinha's black-and-white film centres on the difficulties that people encountered nationwide while the country was under lockdown because of the COVID outbreak. Talking to PTI, Dia told, “It all depends on the imagination of the filmmaker. We all suffer from being stereotyped and the problem of being boxed. The choices that we make, the things that we say, we can create our own path. I am quite kicked with the diversity of parts but I tend to resonate more with positive parts.

I think from the very beginning I got respect.” Explaining her take further, the 27-year-old actress added, “Maybe what Janhvi could have meant, maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves. But even then, whether it’s Kedarnath or Atrangi [Re], I read the reviews I was given. I don’t think respect has been a problem for me.” Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sara is currently busy with promoting her next release Gaslight, whereas Janhvi will be next seen in Mr & Mrs Mahi. On the other hand, she will also make her debut in the Telugu film industry with NTR 30. Also Read: Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor shoot for a project together: ‘Wait and watch us’

Many actresses in the past have opened up about the life of a working woman and the challenges of balancing work and motherhood. Kareena Kapoor Khan is one such actress, who has not only changed the way the world perceive married actresses but she has also proved that motherhood doesn’t impact the success of a female actor either. Balancing the role of a mother and a female star of the tinseltown, Kareena has always maintained that her love for acting has remained the same over the years and how her husband Saif Ali Khan has remained supportive throughout this journey. In a recent interview, she also opened up about a subject that is rarely discussed – the ‘working mom guilt’. In an interview with The Quint, Kareena Kapoor Khan was seen discussing her journey as an actress which also included her challenges of balancing work and motherhood. The actress discussed that she loves to juggle the real and reel life roles together, adding, “It’s fun, I love it. I don’t know what life is like without my children, my family, and my husband. That is the most important thing of my life. At the same time, I must do things that I enjoy which is working, being on the movie set and acting.” She further went on to reveal about the working mom guilt. For the unversed, the working mom guilt is a concept where women often feel like they are missing out on their child’s growth and development, and guilt themselves into believing that they prioritize work over their child. Talking about it, Kareena added, "We always try to not have that guilt, but I think it'll always creep in. Each person deals with it differently. Each mother deals with it differently. So, I can't sit here and give tips. I don't even like the idea of giving tips to any mother because everybody’s journey is different." On the work front, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be making her OTT debut this year with the Sujoy Ghosh directorial, an untitled adaptation of the Japanese novel, Devotion of Suspect X. The actress will also be seen as the protagonist in the upcoming Hansal Mehta directorial, followed by The Crew, co-starring Tabu and Kriti Sanon.

Not too long ago, there were reports of how Lawrence Bishnoi threatened Salman Khan and told the superstar to apologize to his community after the actor was accused of killing a blackbuck during the shoot of Hum Saath Saath Hain. Now, adding further, a staff member of the Sultan actor’s team has found a threatening letter asking Salman to have a talk with Canadian gangster Goldie Brar, in an email that was sent by a certain Rohit Garg. Salman Khan’s manager Prashant Gunjalkar came across the email last week, which Khan had received from a certain Rohit Garg who asked the superstar to have an interaction with Goldie Garg in order to resolve his issues with Lawrence Bishnoi. Furthermore, the email was reportedly said to have been written under the presumption that Salman Khan witnessed the interview that was given by Bishnoi recently. It had the gangster threatening to kill the superstar, if he didn’t apologize for allegedly killing a blackbuck. For the unversed, the blackbuck killing case that can be traced to the late 90s, witnessed serious allegations against the superstar for allegedly hunting a rare species, which is also considered to be sacred among the Bishnoi community. Followed by the threatening email, on Saturday night, Gunjalkar contacted the Mumbai police and registered a complaint against the three names. As per a statement reportedly given by an official in Bandra police station, the authorities have taken serious cognisance of this threat, followed by which they increased the security for the superstar. And besides that, they also registered a complaint under sections 12(B) and 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code, which includes charges of criminal conspiracy and intimidation. Lawrence Bishnoi is currently in Tihar jail, facing charges of murdering popular Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala.

The critically acclaimed filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, known for his socially relevant films, is all set to release his upcoming project titled Bheed. The film promises to be a thought-provoking take on the complexities of modern society, where individuals are struggling to find their place amidst a pandemic. On top of that, Bheed will be released in a black-and-white format. Recently, Anubhav Sinha opened up on making the film in the black-and-white format while confessing that he was apprehensive initially. As per a report by IANS, the 57-year-old filmmaker said, “I got this idea while we were all working in Alibaug. At first, I was scared to share the idea with the team because I thought it would be rejected, but to my surprise, everyone liked it.” Sinha further added, “I was apprehensive about how people would react to this film which is black and white when the trailer was about to be released because people are not used to seeing it. People made Mughal-e-Azam in colour for today’s time but we were doing the complete opposite. But, I believe films are made with your heart. And, this film is exactly that.” Talking about the film earlier, Anubhav Sinha had said, “Bheed is a story of the most perilous times which changed everything for humanity. The key objective of shooting the film in black and white was to showcase how the visuals of the social disparity during India’s Lockdown were strikingly similar to what people went through during the 1947 India partition. This story is about people whose lives changed in a snap and the colours from their lives were lost when the border was drawn within the country.” Speaking of the cast of Bheed, it includes some of the most talented actors in the industry, such as Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Pankaj Kapur, and Kritika Kamra, among others. The film is slated to release on March 24 this year. Also Read: Dia Mirza talks about her film Bheed; says, “I hope Bheed expands our worldview”

Every picture tells a story. In fact, in the case of veteran actress Zeenat Aman, this is quite applicable. Ever since she has made her debut on Instagram, with each post on her feed, she has given her followers a peek into her life. Making an addition to the same, the glamorous diva of Indian cinema took a trip down the memory lane and recalled the mahurat day of Krishna Shah’s film Shalimar. She revealed that during one of the shoot days, British actor Rex Harrison advised her to get married immediately because she was beautiful. In the throwback photo, Aman is looking gorgeous in a silver gown. Speaking of its details, an excerpt of her post read, “My glorious silver gown was created by renowned costume designer Mani Rabadi based on a design of my own making. Its plunging neckline and sleek silhouette certainly turned some heads. In fact, Mani literally sewed me into the gown to give it that exquisite fit.” Meanwhile, the Roti Kapda Aur Makaan actress further continued, “We had several international actors in attendance that day, including Gina Lollobrigida. She later backed out of the production, amongst swirling rumours that we had locked horns. British actor Rex Harrison wasn’t at the event, but he was in the film. One day on set, he told me - “A beautiful girl like you should get married immediately”. I had a good laugh over that. And for the record, I think that’s a terrible reason to get married.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Concluding her write-up, the 71-year-old actress stated that though Shalimar didn’t quite dazzle the audience, it was a “thrilling adventure all the same.” Like always, the post received love from the netizens. “Shalimar was thrilling film with international fair and good songs, it deserved more love at the box office,” wrote movie buff, while another commented, “Our teenaged hearts raced like crazy when we first saw this photo.” Also Read: Zeenat Aman shares her experience walking Lakme Fashion Week ramp; says, “There was a butterfly or two fluttering in my stomach”

She has made a mark for herself with her impeccable acting skills, bold choices of roles, and expressing of her opinions. Apart from acting, Ranaut has also tried her hand at direction and production. However, did you know that she wants to own a restaurant as well?

For the unversed, the Queen actress shared a clip of one of her old interviews with film trade analyst Komal Nahta. The host asked Kangana about her wish list other than films. Meanwhile, captioning the same, she wrote, “Another interview from more than a decade ago, yes cooking is very much on my agenda ... had some financial setbacks last year otherwise I was all set to launch my restaurant in the valley, will be coming soon though.” The Tanu Weds Manu actress further added, “Thanks to my fans for these clips I had forgotten about these interactions, but look when we build intentions we set destiny GPS (global positioning system), so cultivate intentions, not desires.” On the same note, it is worth mentioning here that Ranaut’s last project Dhaakad, which was released in 2022, performed poorly at the box office.

Pahlaj Nihalani started the year 2023 by celebrating his 73rd birthday, on January 10. In February, he held an inauguration event for his revamped South Mumbai theatre, Nishat Cinema. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to him a few days ago about what he’s up to nowadays and a lot more. How do you look at the box office at present? If I go back to 1993 or 1994, it was a time when a big film, of the scale of Pathaan, will be released in maximum of 150 cinemas across the country. Yet, the big films at that point did the same kind of business that Pathaan or any other big film does in today’s times, despite the increase in prints and ticket rates in today's times. Those were the days when films would boast of 7 crore footfalls. I don’t think Pathaan will even cross 5 crore footfalls. Its run is about to get exhausted. Also, the ticket prices of Rs. 800 or 1000 can discourage some people to not venture out to cinema halls. 3 Idiots (2009) became a blockbuster with 4 crore footfalls. The cost of tickets has doubled since then but the box office hasn’t seen the same growth. Akshay Kumar used to give consistent hits but his films barely got footfalls of more than 1.25 crores. A film needs 1.50 or 1.75 crore footfalls to be declared a blockbuster. And our country's population is 140 crores. That’s why satellite channels are giving so much money to buy TV rights as they help the film reach out to every household. It’s also amusing that though many of the star-studded films are disasters, OTT platforms are claiming that millions of people have watched them on their platform. I don’t know where they are getting these numbers. Jo film 10 minute bhi dekhne ko mann nahin karta, aisi filmon ko most watched film of the year ka title diya jaata hai (smiles)! I wonder if they are fooling the people or if are they fooling themselves. You were the chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). What do you have to say about its functioning, under Prasoon Joshi? Recently, you had spoken against reports that the orange swimsuit shot in the song ‘Besharam Rang’ from Pathaan might have been removed by the CBFC… A lot of controversies were made over the orange swimsuit. But the Censors have not cut those shots. And I had said before the release that you cannot remove a shot based on the colour. The issue died down after the release of the film. It was completely political. A chairperson’s tenure in CBFC is usually 3 years. There have been murmurs as to why Prasoon Joshi continues to be the chairperson since August 2017... He’s the chairperson till further orders. He’s there as a chairperson but he’s also not there! What do you mean? When we get the appointment letter, it states that the tenure will start from a certain date and end on a certain date or until further orders. Since there have been no further orders, he continues to be the chairperson. However, he’s not attending office. I doubt if he has visited the office in the last 2-3 years. Gaye honge office toh sirf 2-4 baar. It was said that you used to attend office everyday… Mere paas kaam nahin tha na! Inke paas bahut kaam hai (laughs). Do you feel sad that people remember you only for your stint as the CBFC chairperson and the controversies that erupted at that time and not your body of work? I feel that jo accha kaam karta hai, uski agar burai na ho, toh fir accha kaam hua hi nahin! Nowadays, you don’t hear anything critical about CBFC. That’s because of fear. Abhi sab cheez ka darr hai sabko. No one gives any reaction or quote to the media. I used to do that as I felt it was important to clarify. People didn’t like it. In my time, many wanted to become chairperson. They were eying my chair. Even right now, bahut log mehnat kar rahe hai. Par nahin ban paa rahe hai. I put together a system in place at CBFC. The new members are following it. They haven’t made any changes though times now are different. We have OTT platforms now. They are not under any rules. This needs to be addressed.
