Zayed Khan recently completed 20 years in the film industry. His thriller, Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne was released on March 21, 2003, and on this special occasion, the actor put up a dashing picture on his Instagram handle and promised his followers that his next release is around the corner. A few days after this post, which got loads of appreciation, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Zayed Khan. The actor looked quite dashing and seemed excited as he opened up about his comeback film, TFTNW, where, in his own words, the butt of jokes is him. The film’s idea and concept came from actor Aseem Merchant, who also produced the film. Aseem, Zayed and Mohit Srivastava and Kavin Dave have penned the script while Mohit has also directed this mockumentary film. As per reports, the film stars 15-20 prominent Bollywood personalities in cameos like Riteish Deshmukh, Farah Khan, Suzanne Khan, Jackie Shroff etc. Zayed Khan remained tightlipped about this aspect, the meaning of the title and on which digital platform it’ll premiere. However, Zayed was more than happy to share how he became a part of the film. Zayed Khan began by saying, “For the first 10 years, I gave it my all. I lived out of the suitcase as I went for shoots, events, performances, shows etc. I also had children at a really early age. I read the biography of a very famous gentleman who stated how he missed out on the growing years of his children. It just struck me that my kids are growing up and I want to spend time with them. I consciously decided to step back. That’s the worst thing to do! On one level, it was really nice as I got to experience a lot of things I wanted, as a father. I took them on holidays. I am a sportsman myself and introduced them to sports like diving. But when you completely disappear from the radar, people forget easily.” Zayed Khan continued, “When I wanted to come back into the industry, I realized that it was very hard. Of course, you have friends and people who can help you out. They are, however, not the ones who take the call. The audience is the one who makes the call. The studios represent what the audience demands. Also, things had changed a lot. People don’t have the time and patience to watch a 2 ½ hour-long film. Many will of course ask, ‘Who the hell is Zayed Khan?’.” He added, “Also, my kids had never really seen me in action, on a film set. Everytime I go out with family and friends, there’ll be people taking pictures with me. They didn’t really get why this frenzy was there around me.” It’s Zayed Khan’s children, Zidaan and Aariz Khan, who gave him the much needed push, “One day, my kids came up to me and said, ‘Why don’t you resume acting?’. I replied, ‘If that happens, I won’t get time to see you guys’. They were fine with it and insisted that they would want to see me work in movies. They helped germinate the idea.” Zayed stated, “Then, I met a lot of people and tried to produce. But the warmth that was given to me when I was a star was very different. It dawned on me that this is a star-based system. One can believe that writing is now paramount and things are streamlined. But at the end of the day, everyone wants to know who’s starring in your film or show. You can write a work as great as that of Shakespeare but nobody will give a damn if a star is not mouthing your lines.” Things, however, changed for the better for Zayed. He narrated, “One day, I was a little low. A friend, Aseem Merchant, walked in. He looked at me and asked, ‘You are such a lovely, good-looking guy. Why the hell are you not doing anything?’. It’s an easy question to ask but very difficult for me to answer! How do I tell him that I tried, went to a lot of places and irrespective of where I come from, it didn’t work out? I didn’t say that. I replied, ‘I don’t know, man. Let’s see what happens’. This is when he said that he has an idea and wants to cast me. I looked at him with dodgy eyes and asked, ‘Why do you want to do a film with me?’! Aseem simply said, ‘The best is yet to come from you’! It was nice to see somebody having some faith in me.” Zayed further said, “Aseem then narrated the idea of TFTNW. On the face of it, it sounded promising. But I was apprehensive. I mean I was already down and then I do a film where the butt of the jokes is on me. What if things get messed up at the execution level? However, I have been brought up with the attitude that ‘No risk, no reward’. I also asked, ‘What do I have to lose?’” Zayed described the writing process and said, “When I read the first script, I could see that the writers (Aseem Merchant, Mohit Srivastava and Kavin Dave) had a lot of reservations about not trying to hurt me too much! I told them to push the envelope. I was ready to be the butt of all jokes. I told them, ‘If you feel some jokes are going to hurt my sentiments, make it f*****g funny while you do so’! That’s when they cleared their feathers out and came back with another draft. From here on, the writing went to another crazy level.” Zayed is all praises for Aseem Merchant, “I’d like to make a special mention of Aseem and his daughter Sasha. They both are an incredible team. They made a blind bet by signing me. I want to also specially mention Mohit Srivastava, the director. He is very sound technically and never bogged down under pressure. The whole unit was like one big happy family. So overall, it was a great journey. I discovered so much about myself all over again.” Zayed then explains why he’s so confident about TFTNW, “We had a focus group screening. It had 100 people from the ages of 10 to 90 years old and different walks of life. My kids also attended the screening. Their response blew us! My kids watched it 7 times. They have never seen any of my films 7 times besides probably Main Hoon Na (2004)! Every time we’ll have a focus screening, they’ll ask me, ‘Papa, can we watch it again?’. I asked, ‘Do you really want to watch it or are you saying it to make me feel good?’. But they assured me that they loved the film.” Zayed Khan signed off by saying, “It was so heartening to see not just children but even teenagers, the elderly, and middle-aged people - all loving TFTNW. It’s very hard to achieve this feat. We are all gearing up for the final phase, that is marketing, PR etc.” Also Read: Zayed Khan approves of sister Sussanne Khan’s rumored bae Arslan Goni; heaps praises on former brother-in-law Hrithik Roshan

The mega star Ajay Devgn, also called ‘Mass Maharaja’ by his fans, turns 54 today. It’ll be a special birthday for him today as his much-awaited biggie, Bholaa, was released just a few days ago. Thankfully, it is doing quite well and has given him a reason for a double celebration. Interestingly, if Bholaa sustains well, it’ll be his second consecutive success after the mega-blockbuster, Drishyam 2 (2022). This will be a rare instance for an actor in the post-pandemic era, where even the biggest of films are falling like nine pins. Also, it was said that remakes won’t work in Bollywood. Ajay Devgn proved this notion wrong not once but twice as both Drishyam 2 and Bholaa have been adapted from South films. Ajay Devgn’s box office achievements are known and a lot has been written about it. This article, however, will focus on the lesser-known aspect of how he has always given back to the industry, like no other actor. Not many know that Ajay Devgn is also an exhibitor and runs a chain of cinemas called NY Cinemas. In a thoughtful gesture, this cinema chain has acquired theatres that were shut down and have refurbished them. The ticket rates in these theatres are reasonable and some of them are located in towns which had no cinema hall. It has been said time and again that India is heavily under-screened and if there are more theatres, the business can expand. In this regard, Ajay has done a great service to the industry. In a Bollywood Hungama exclusive interview after the release of Golmaal Again (2017), Ajay Devgn said, “I have started taking theatres that have been shut down in Uttar Pradesh. Till now, I already have 4 theatres running. I intend to take the number to 150 or 200. 80 theatres in UP have shut down and these are in cities which have a population of around 10 lakhs. If you add the total population of such towns, imagine the number of people who are not getting to see a film due to the lack of theatres in their towns. The locals have to travel 80 km to catch a film. They’ll do it for a film like Golmaal but why would they (take so much effort) for a film that they are not excited about or doesn’t have the cinematic experience?” Then, in 2015, Ajay Devgn established NY VFXWaala and has constantly attempted to provide top-class CGI in films. This studio has worked on films like Dilwale (2015), Bajirao Mastani (2015), Dangal (2016), Shivaay (2016), Baahubali 2 (2017), Jagga Jasoos (2017), Golmaal Again (2017), Padmaavat (2018), Simmba (2018), Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020) etc. It has won a National Award for Shivaay. It has been majorly instrumental in having a setup where films can be shot in controlled environments against green screens and not in challenging outdoor locations. Saif Ali Khan, in an interview in 2020, drew an interesting parallel between acting in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Laal Kaptaan (2019), “Everything you see on screen (in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior) is Filmistan Studios. It’s such a relief, really, because Laal Kaptaan was the most exhausting film I’ve ever done—crazy shifts and slaving away in live locations—only to find that we didn’t need to do all that.” AJAY DEVGN ORGANISES VACCINATION CAMP... #AjayDevgn’s NY Foundation conducted a vaccination camp on 11 June 2021 in #Mumbai... Those vaccinated included workers associated with the entertainment industry and media professionals. pic.twitter.com/1fJIxuoTkX — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) June 12, 2021 Finally, Ajay Devgn was at the forefront while helping people through NY Foundations, not just from the film industry, but all sections of society during the Covid-19 pandemic. From setting up Covid wards to helping more than 300 stunt artists to donating oxygen cylinders to organizing free Covid-19 vaccination camps, Ajay Devgn proved that he has a heart of gold and truly cares for the situation. Even his non-Covid related social work like paying fees of students belonging to economically weak sections to donating rickshaws and sewing machines to the unemployed to regularly donating food to the poor in rural areas are praiseworthy efforts. The beauty of Ajay Devgn is that he silently works on these fronts and will never shout from the rooftops about it. If a mediaperson asks him about these initiatives, he’ll prefer not to answer. Hence, it’s not surprising that many readers are not aware of this side of Ajay Devgn. And that’s Ajay for you – a man who believes simply in working round the clock and giving back to the industry and the society that made him a star.

Director Siddharth Anand has delivered two monstrous hits back to back with War and now Pathaan, which has also become the all-time highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of cinema. He feels a ‘huge sense of vindication’ with Pathaan proving that people want to come to theatres to see films that give audiences a larger-than-life experience!  Siddharth and the visionary S.S. Rajamouli are also the only two directors in the coveted Rs. 500 crore nett collection club in Hindi format. Siddharth has also blunted the narrative that Hindi films are being check-mated by South films at the box office. Siddharth says, “There is a huge sense of vindication with Pathaan doing well at the box office. What I believe that films weren’t doing well in the middle because those films were made pre-pandemic. So, there was a period where cinemas were shut and we couldn’t release our films, people weren’t coming back – so there was a prolonged break for our films.” He adds, “And those films were made pre-pandemic, there is a mindset that has changed post-pandemic. There is a viewing pattern that has changed. And those films were unfortunately victims of that change. Even when I was making War, there was a sense of parallel cinema is the new commercial cinema in 2018-2019. You had small independent films and big ideas doing much better than tentpole films till War happened. That time also I felt that – Oh my God, has the viewing pattern changed but War again proved if you make a good cinematic experience film for our masses people will come to theatres.” Siddharth has delivered the biggest hits of superstars Shah Rukh Khan & Hrithik Roshan in these high octane spy films. He says, “I’d like to believe is that I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience. I try and cater to both subconsciously – it’s not an effort. So, I try and get all the quadrants to enjoy my films. And if you do that – the results are there in Pathaan.” ALSO READ: Siddharth Anand claims Pathaan deleted scene might be featured in OTT version

While, in the past, many actors have come under the radar of hurting religious sentiments and has been accused on many occasions by religious and political leaders, this time around, it is Taapsee Pannu who has been accused of the same. The actress’ recent appearance at the Lakme India Fashion Week in Mumbai has triggered a controversy where a man named Eklavya Singh, who is a member of the Hind Rakshak Sangathan and son of BJP MLA Malini Gaur, has filed a complaint against the actress for her look at the prestigious fashion show. In the complaint, Singh has alleged that Taapsee Pannu wore a revealing outfit while adorning temple jewellery with Goddess Laxmi’s statue in the locket. An official was quoted in ANI reports, opening up about the complaint registered against the actress saying, “We received a complaint from Eklavya Gaur (son of BJP MLA Malini Gaur) against actor Taapsee Pannu for hurting religious sentiments and image of ‘Sanatan Dharma’ by wearing a locket having ‘Goddess Laxmi’ with revealing dress during ramp walk at Lakme Fashion Week held on March 12 in Mumbai.” The officials have asserted that investigation of the matter in currently in process.

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.

Star Sports, India’s Home of Sports, is delighted to announce Bollywood superstar and sports aficionado Ranveer Singh as its brand ambassador. This association makes the pop culture icon the first actor to be associated with Star Sports, a development that reflects the growing synergy between sports and entertainment in India. 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. It is in line with Star Sports' stated mission of making India a sporting nation by fuelling fandom and passion for 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. His vast and impressive knowledge and understanding of sports combined with his standing of being one of the most popular actors in the entertainment industry make him an ideal choice to take the power of sports wider and deeper across the country. Talking about the association, Ranveer Singh said, "Star Sports is a brand that is synonymous with sports in India. As a sports enthusiast, being associated with a brand that has redefined the way sports are viewed and consumed in India is truly special. 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.
