Kapil Sharma has a fan following not just among the aam junta but also celebrities. The comedian has shot for his TV show The Kapil Sharma Show with innumerable celebrities. But one celeb has been conspicuous by his absence on the TV show - Aamir Khan. Hence, when both Aamir Khan and Kapil Sharma met at the trailer launch of the Punjabi film Carry On Jatta 3, it was a rare sight. Kapil also touched Aamir's feet and it added to the event's appeal.

Aamir Khan spoke highly of Kapil Sharma, "I called Kapil just 2-3 weeks back. Main aaj kal kaam kam kar raha hoon. Family ke saath zyada hoon. Every night, I like seeing comedy before going to sleep. Since the past many months, I see Kapil's show. I have become his huge fan. You must have noticed that my smile was the widest when he came on stage! Meri itni shaamon ko inhone rangeen banaya hai. Hence, I called and thanked him for entertaining people. Logon ka dil behlana bahut bada kaam hai. I am happy to see you here. I am one of your biggest fans, Kapil."

Aamir Khan then complained in a lighter vein, "Aapne mujhe show pe nahin bulaya. Yeh galat baat hai!" He continued, "Isse pehle ki yeh puche, main hi bol deta hoon. Kapil se ek kadam aage hoon main!"

Kapil Sharma replied, "Hamara saubhagya hoga jab aap show pe aaoge. I have requested Aamir bhai whenever we have met. He has always said, 'Main kahin ja raha hoon. Wapis aake baat karte hai'. Cut to, yeh seedha teen saal baad milte hai!"

Aamir replied, "Main 100% aaunga lekin main ek cheez bolta hoon. Aap mujhe meri film release ke time bulate hai. Mujhe release ke liye nahin aana hai. Mujhe aise hi entertainment ke liye bulao."

Later, a journalist asked if Aamir Khan would like to do a film with Kapil Sharma. To which, Aamir said, "Kapil and me doing a film together? I would love that yaar!"

The journalist said that it'll be a pleasure to see them both as Aamir is a perfectionist while Kapil Sharma is "sabke dil ke raja". Aamir pitched in, "Mere bhi dil ke raja hai woh!" Kapil Sharma then raised laughs as he told the journalist, "Thank you mere kehne par aapne yeh sawaal pucha!"

Rani Mukerji has given Indian cinema some powerful female protagonists who have played a huge hand in shaping the way women are viewed in society today. A towering actor, Rani shares her vision to represent women correctly in films.

Rani says, “As an actor, your vision for cinema and roles will constantly evolve but one thing that’s constantly stayed for me is the way I wanted to portray and represent women on screen. Women are the backbone of a family and society and I think, as an actor, I have a responsibility to show this to as many people as possible across my country and the world.“

She adds, “Cinema can have a lasting impression on the minds of people. It is a very powerful tool to trigger a national conversation and I became conscious very early on in my career that I could make a real change in the way women are projected on-screen, that could be positive.”

Rani wanted to show girls as fiercely independent and self-reliant in films. She says, “I made it a point to choose films where the girl is also pivotal to the plot, where the girl is projected with dignity and power. For me, women have always been agents of change. They have been independent, courageous, caring, pursuers of dreams and the best multitasker you can ever find. I wanted to highlight these facets of a woman by choosing characters that echo this belief system of mine.”

Rani adds, “So, if you see films like Black, Veer Zaara, Mardaani series, Yuva, No One Killed Jessica, Hichki or even my latest film Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, to name a few, the girls I play are central to the plot, the sheroes that people have adored and accepted for being who they are.”

In her last release, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway (MCVN), Rani again played a feisty woman who took on a country to win back her children. The film was a resounding hit at the box office and it brought back the belief that content cinema could pull in people to theatres in this post-pandemic world. Rani says, “The fact that MCVN is a hit today is because people want to see strong woman protagonists like this on the big screen. There is constant chatter whether women-centric films are box office draws? That concerns me, of course they are box office draws. A film is a hit when producers make money from it and it is not just about how much it collects at the box office because one should also factor in the cost of the film.”

She adds, “There is a lot of misconception about what a hit means and I think people should pay attention to this before passing judgement if a film is profitable. A good film will always bring people to the theatres and their gender has no role to play.” ALSO READ: Rani Mukerji locks her next film; venture to be directed by Vaibhavi Merchant?

Following the release of Farzi on Prime Video India, Shahid Kapoor is set for another direct-to-digital release. Titled Bloody Daddy, which is set to premiere on JioCinema on June 9, the film is helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. This marks their first collaboration on screen. Zafar says that they are hoping that the film gets bigger and is designed in a way to take it forward.

“We are going with that gut and we are hoping that this becomes bigger. It’s designed in a way that it can be taken forward. And let’s see, what destiny holds for us from there,” the filmmaker told PTI. The filmmaker also said that the relatability of the content is the success parameter these days rather than box office numbers. “The relatability right now has become the box office. It’s not numbers anymore,” he added.

Zafar wanted to go grittier in terms of storytelling. He said, “Shahid and I had this continuous battle. I was telling him, ‘Let’s open up a bit more’ and he used to say, ‘Ali, I’m not that commercial. I completely respected that fact because what it made me do is something which is new.”

Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Sunir Kheterpal, Gaurav Bose, Himanshu Kishan Mehra, and Ali Abbas Zafar, the film is accompanied by an ensemble cast of Diana Penty, Sanjay Kapoor, Ronit Roy, and Rajeev Khandelwal in pivotal roles. Bloody Daddy unravels the story of Sumair (played by Shahid Kapoor) as he faces off against Gurugram’s white-collar drug lords, deceitful friends, a ruthless crime boss, murderous narcs, and both corrupt and honest cops – all during one fateful night. In the midst of a post-COVID party apocalypse, this embattled man embraces a precarious new normal and will stop at nothing to save the one relationship that truly matters to him.

The action-packed extravaganza is a Jio Studios, AAZ Films & Offside Entertainment production in association with Vermilion World and written by Ali Abbas Zafar and Aditya Basu.

Most of the qualities that Geet has are similar to those of Titli. Geet and Titli both are on a quest to find their Mr. Right and fulfill their childhood dream of marrying the man of their dreams. Jab We Met is my go-to movie. Whenever I am stressed or feeling low, I make sure to watch Jab We Met. It is my comfort film.

The silken looks and smooth smooches in the song ‘Naseeb Se’ in the forthcoming film Satyaprem Ki Katha are being much talked about. It shows that Kartik Aaryan is finally at ease doing a romantic kiss on screen. Earlier Kartik felt awkward doing kissing sequences on camera, and it showed.

Said a source in the know, “When Kartik had to smooch Subhash Ghai’s heroine Mishti in Kaanchi, he was most reluctant. He didn’t know his co-star Mishti at all. Smooching a stranger, even for a film, seemed odd to the conservative actor from Gwalior. Since Kartik was new to the industry, he obediently did what the director asked him to. Even in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal where he was comfortable with his co-star Sara Ali Khan, Kartik was not fully comfortable doing the multiple liplocks, though he covered up his discomfort well.”

The intimate scenes in Satyaprem Ki Katha strike an authentic note as Kartik has learnt to be comfortable with on-screen intimacy.

A source close to the actor revealed, “Like Shah Rukh and Salman, Kartik feels romance can be shown without physical intimacy. But in Satyaprem Ki Katha, physical proximity is an essential part of the romance. Kartik and Kiara Advani did extensive workshops together before coming to this level of comfort in their onscreen intimacy.”

The intriguing snapshot that Malaika Arora shared on her Instagram stories was captured in the comfortable and inviting ambiance of a living room. In the photo, actor Arjun Kapoor could be seen lounging on a couch, exuding an air of relaxation and leisure.

Earlier this year in February it was reported that Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were in talks for the remake of the Spanish film Campeones. As per reports, Aamir had approached Salman to feature as the lead in the Hindi adaptation titled Champions. In fact, it was also revealed that an official announcement on the same was to be made in March. However, since then there has been no development on the project. Now, we hear that Salman Khan has opted out of the remake, following which Aamir Khan has now approached Ranbir Kapoor for the film.

Divulging details to Bollywood Hungama a well-placed industry source says, “Salman Khan was pretty keen on doing the Campeones remake. However, there were certain date issues which arose, due to which the actor had to back out of the venture.” As per the source, everything was moving in the right direction and Salman had shown active interest in the subject, with one final narration to be done before work on project began in June. Unfortunately, following the narration, Salman realised that the film would clash with his other venture, because of which he decided to bow out of the RS Prasanna directed sports drama.

However, every dark cloud has its silver lining, and the same is the case with Aamir’s Champions. Post Salman opting out of the project, Aamir Khan has now approached Ranbir Kapoor. “Ranbir is doing some interesting films. He is consciously choosing varied scripts and genres, building an impressive repertoire. Given his acting prowess, and the fact that he has never really done a sports drama, it will be interesting to see Ranbir in a new avatar”, says the source. Interestingly, Ranbir too has shown keen interest in the venture, “Ranbir has heard the narration, and has expressed interest. If everything works out, he will be seen in the lead with Champions.”

As or the film, Champions which is an official remake of the Spanish film Campeones is directed by RS Prasanna with AKP bankrolling the venture. Expected to release in 2024 the final timelines will be decided only once the paperwork is done.

In a recent interview Gulshan Devaiah discussed his experience of working with renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He candidly expressed that working with Bhansali could become tedious if one lacks the necessary patience. Gulshan had the opportunity to collaborate with the veteran filmmaker in the 2013 film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ramleela which featured Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh in lead.

He expects complete dedication and submission from others as well, but it is impossible for most.”

He further added, “That hampers the balance. People are also afraid of him. I gathered the courage to talk to him and would often sit with him in front of the monitor to watch his style of work. People are scared of him, so they do not enjoy working with him. I would often talk to him fearlessly, and he liked this aspect of mine.”

Gulshan Devaiah has been actively involved in various projects on the work front. He was recently seen in the web series titled Dahaad, which features an ensemble cast including Sonakshi Sinha and Vijay Varma.

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, who have been the talk of the town recently, seem to be busy trying to lock the venue for their impending wedding. The couple, who got engaged earlier this month, is expected to be tying the knot in Rajasthan as per current reports. From what we hear, Parineeti is currently in the state where she was seen spending time with her relatives. Further adding to the speculations, it is being said that Raghav will be joining the actress soon.

As per IANS reports, Parineeti Chopra arrived in Udaipur on Saturday and was staying at Udaipur Palace, along with her family members too staying at Udayvilas. Later, she was reportedly seen having lunch with her relatives. Furthermore, adding fuel to the fire, Parineeti Chopra is also expected to have had a meeting with Shikha Saxena of the Tourism Department, wherein she was seen asking about the touristy places and hotels in Udaipur. If that was not all, Raghav Chadha is expected to have visited Jaipur to scout for wedding venues, followed by Parineeti Chopra joining him on Sunday, May 28.

If these reports are to be believed, it seems that Parineeti Chopra wants to follow the footsteps of Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who too tied the knot in Rajasthan way back in 2018. However, the couple are yet to choose between Udaipur and Jaipur.

News about Parineeti Chopra getting engaged to Raghav Chadha started doing the rounds last month. Later, reports had it that the couple had hosted an intimate ‘roka’ ceremony before exchanging rings at Kapurthala House in New Delhi.

Coming to Vikram Vedha, We hear that Hrithik Roshan wanted to become ‘Vedha’ by completely absorbing every element of the character and his nuances. In order to embody the gangster, Hrithik let go of all inhibitions and was even willing to be eccentric and wacky to essay the character. Hrithik also underwent a lot of preps, from voice training and speaking gibberish to dialogue rehearsals, dancing to 80s music, emoting to nature, and recording himself to perfect his mannerisms and dialect, etc.

Vikram Vedha was directed by Pushkar Gayathri. The film is a remake of the 2017 Tamil film by the same. While Hrithik was Vedha, Saif Ali Khan played Vikram. The characters were essayed by Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan in the South version. The film released in Hindi on September 29.

The month of May is special for Gulshan Devaiah. Apart from it being his birthday, his two projects – his web series Dahaad and movie 8 AM Metro – released in this month. “This month has been special for me. Dahaad became a hit and my film 8 AM Metro was released in theatres. Although only a few people saw it, they have liked it. My work has been appreciated in it. Birthday months are lucky months,” he said in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama.

Devaiah completes 45 today but he tells us that he doesn’t quite like celebrating. “I wish to do nothing, but people don’t let you do that,” he said. “Friends will make some plan. Chalti nahin hai aapki marzi. My ex-wife (Kalliroi Tziafeta) is my best friend. She has somehow managed to book a table in an expensive restaurant.”

Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruckika Oberoi and streamed on Amazon Prime Video, Dahaad is a gritty crime drama taking place in the interiors of Rajasthan, where nobody generally shoots. Devaiah said that the biggest challenge for the team was the cold weather.

“We didn’t feel that we were shooting at a place where nobody shoots,” said the actor. “Shooting in the cold was challenging. We were given summer uniforms, but we were shooting in the winter. Other than this, there was no other challenge. It was a very good team and we enjoyed.”

Dahaad stars Sonakshi Sinha in the lead role of a sub-inspector. Devaiah, who plays her senior, had a lot of scenes with her. “We used to do a lot of time pass and chat,” he said. “We used to play volleyball and badminton. We got a good chance of knowing each other. We developed a good friendship. It helps when you are working with someone you are comfortable with. She lives a very active lifestyle. She likes sports.”

Devaiah’s character Devilal Singh is usually calm but there is one scene in the ending portions where he loses his cool and screams at his wife in a moment of conflict. Recalling that moment, Devaiah said, “It will burst out at some point. I don’t exactly remember if it was in the script or we improvised. If a person is always keeping calm in tough situations, the anger and frustration will eventually come out in some way on someone; he is a human after all. He also blurts out to his wife that she is backward.”

The last film that Jatin-Lalit did together was Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa. Says Lalit emotionally, “The movie completed seventeen years today and it was just about sixteen years that Jatin and I worked together before we split in 2006. I look at Fanaa from a very special point of view and hold that film very close to my heart to tell the truth, we had split while the music of Fanaa was still work in progress. I had gone and met Adi and told him Jatin and Lalit will not be working together after this film.

Lalit says Fanaa producer Aditya Chopra tried to convince the brothers against the split. Adi was very upset, and he did call Jatin and me both to his place, spoke to us and advised that it was a terrible decision which was of course anticipated and understood by both of us. For about two years prior to this I was getting signs that us being together wouldn’t last long and it was terribly stressful.”

Remembering the split Lalit gets upset. “I wouldn’t like to elaborate further except, that since it was to be the last film, we would work together I wanted to give all I had to make this a score which would be remembered always. During the recordings itself Jatin had stopped coming to the studio gradually after his only song in the film Des Rangila got recorded. I, with the rest of the team and director Kunal Kohli kept working on the rest of the songs and we worked really hard to achieve the quality that eventually emerged in Fanaa’s music.”

However, despite the split the show went on for Lalit. “The good thing was the studio was always available for me since it was a YRF home production. Incidentally Fanaa was also the first film that was recorded in the new YRF studio, and no one was really sure how the sound would be. It did take months of studio work for me to finalise the mixes of all the songs. I had it in my heart that since this was to be the last film of a big brand name Jatin-Lalit’s last musical score it would have to be the best score of the year.”

Eventually Fanaa did get nominated for best score and for the song ‘Chand Sifarish’, it won all the awards that year for Shaan as best singer.

Recalls Lalit, “When the best music award went to A R Rehman in his speech, he did say he was sad to know that Jatin and Lalit wouldn’t be working together again, that was sweet of him. When the final day of the mix was finished and Adi was supposed to hear the final product, we met in the evening and heard all the songs together. Everything sounded good and when Adi and I were going down from the recording studio he asked me, “Kya lagta hai music ka??” I told him, “Ye dil se nikla hai aur logon ke dil tak pahunchega.” . As time flew by, the music of Fanaa was a huge success and Adi called me and said, “Guess what? Fanaa is the highest selling music for YRF”. It was so good to hear that I will never forget it. Bhagwan ne hamari izzat Rakh li! My brother and I are perhaps the only musical jodi that ended our carrier right at its peak.”

Is there a possibility of Jatin-Lalit getting together again? “I always feel very humble and apologetic towards people who have enjoyed our music and kept asking us to get back together. I deeply apologise to them all and appreciate all the respect and love they have shown over the years to us and our music, and still do. Fanaa will always be very close to my heart always.”

The plaintiffs claim that Ruslaan is a replica of the original 2009 film Ruslaan, produced by Jagdish Sharma, where Raajveer Sharma portrayed the main character.

According to the petition, the defendants were accused of copying the dialogues and storyline from the original film titled Ruslaan. The trailer for Aayush Sharma's forthcoming movie, which also features Telugu superstar Jagapathi Babu and Sushri Mishra, was unveiled on April 21.

A couple of days ago, the Indian entertainment industry woke up to the shocking news of the demise of young actress Vaibhavi Upadhyaya. The actress, known for her performance in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai Season 2 as Jasmine, was exploring Himachal Pradesh with her fiancé Jay Gandhi when her vehicle was expected to be hit by a truck. Followed by this, some claimed that the couple was not wearing seat belts but Jay, who is recovering from the sustained injuries during the accident, clarified on the same.

Recalling the incident, Jay Gandhi asserted that a truck hit their car and Vaibhavi Upadhyaya was thrown off the vehicle. She reportedly sustained several head injuries and that even though, she received help from the locals, by the time they reached the hospital it was too late for the actress. Jay told ETimes, “There is a notion that you speed on road trips, but that was not the case. Our car was standing still and waiting for the truck to pass. I am not in a state to talk much, but I wanted to ensure that people don’t assume that we were not wearing seat belts or were speeding.”

In the same interview, Jay’s statement was corroborated by Vaibhavi’s brother Ankit Upadhyaya as he continued, "She was always cautious and would never sit in a car without a seat belt. So, on a road trip, she would be extra cautious. The doctors also confirmed how there were seat belt marks around her neck. It is sad that we were thinking of planning her marriage, but now she is gone.”

JD Majethia who has worked with Vaibhavi Upadhyaya had revealed about the actress not wearing a seatbelt when he attended her funeral and along with him, one of the police officials in charge had also mentioned about it.

And we thought we were in the 21st century! The brouhaha over the supposed intimate scenes between Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dawan in Raj-DK’s Citadel, seems to be a case of much ado about nothing.

A source close to the project wonders what the fuss is about. “Where are these reports of onscreen intimacy between Sam and Varun coming from? Just because Priyanka Chopra and her co-star had lovemaking scenes in the international Citadel? But the Indian Citadel is completely different from its international counterpart! It is a completely different project. Sam is definitely not playing PeeCee’s character. Why would Sam mimic Priyanka’s behaviour?”

Having cleared the air on that rumour let us for a moment ask a larger question. Why is so much fuss made about physical intimacy on screen in the entertainment media? While world cinema has moved ahead to embrace sex and nudity as an integral part of storytelling, sections of Indian media are still counting the number of kisses exchanged between the lead pair and bikini shots of the heroine.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's Kennedy is all set for the premiere at Cannes Film Festival 2023. The film stars Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat. Leone, currently in Cannes, said this was one of the most amazing moments in her career. She also said that no one can now question her and say she is here for the 'glamour quotient' only.

In a conversation with Forbes India, Sunny Leone said, “I believe that your actions are louder than your words. All those people who said you can’t do this, or you’re not good enough, or you know you are just Sunny Leone, the porn star, you are just this glamour quotient that we’ve added, all of these different comments that have gone on for so many years. You can’t say that this time. You can’t just say Sunny Leone is in this film because of who she is and what her past was.”

“People out there don’t always know how their comments or what they say or people who write these articles that are just nasty or people who don’t believe in you, they think the worst of you. You hide behind your smile going, ‘no, it’s okay, I’m going to push past this’ but deep down inside it does hurt your feelings and it does affect you but as an entertainer, you are not allowed to show that,” she added.

Kennedy is written and directed by Anurag Kashyap starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone. The film is produced by Zee Studios, Ranjan Singh & Kabir Ahuja. The DOP of the film is Sylvester Fonseca. The music supervisor of the film is Ashish Narula and the songs are by Aamir Aziz & Boyblanck. The film’s editors are Tanya Chhabria and Deepak Kattar.

Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently shared his views on the current state of the film industry. He expressed his concern about films failing to connect with audiences as much as they used to. According to Bajpayee, this disconnect stemmed from a growing desire within the industry for a quick and easy formula for success. Bajpayee emphasized that, in his opinion, the key to creating meaningful and impactful cinema lies in giving sufficient time and attention to the development of the story and script. He believed that these fundamental elements serve as the foundation for a successful film. By investing ample time and effort into crafting a compelling narrative and a well-structured script, filmmakers can create a strong emotional connection with the audience.

During an interview with GOODTIMES, Manoj Bajpayee was questioned about the under-performance of films, including those released on OTT platforms. To this he replied, “We keep wondering, why aren't films working? But the reason is right within you. We keep trying to find a mantra for everything. We keep looking for the thing that will make us successful. It doesn't work like that. Just be true to the job. It's most important that we pay attention to the story. It's important that we spend time on writing a good script. [There were] 18 drafts of Bandaa. It takes time. For Gulmohar, it took them three years. I really find it surprising how [people keep churning stuff out].”

He further added, “When you start churning [things], definitely mediocrity will emerge. When you start to look for a formula to any success, then mediocrity will come. That means you are not being true to your creative self. You are trying to find that tablet, and you think you got that tablet. It never happens that way.”

In addition to his recent film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, Manoj Bajpayee has an exciting lineup of projects awaiting release. Among them are the films Soup, Dispatch, and Joram. Furthermore, Manoj Bajpayee revealed that the highly popular web series The Family Man will be returning for its eagerly awaited third season. Known for its gripping storyline and Bajpayee's compelling performance as the lead character, the show has garnered a massive fan base and critical acclaim.

Bollywood and TV actor Nitesh Pandey, who played the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s character Om Kapoor’s assistant in Om Shanti Om, has passed away at the age of 51 following a cardiac arrest. The actor, who starred as Dheeraj Kumar in the TV show Anupamaa, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest in Igatpuri on May 24 at 2 am. He was reportedly there for a shoot.

As per a report in Times of India, Pandey was shooting in Igatpuri when his health deteriorated. He reportedly died almost immediately after the heart attack.

Producer Siddharth Nagar, who happens to be the brother-in-law of Pandey, confirmed the news to the publication and said, “Yes, you have heard it right. My brother-in-law is no more, my sister Arpita Pandey is in a state of shock. Nitesh's father has left for Igatpuri to get his mortal remains. They should be here by the afternoon. We have gone absolutely numb, I have not been able to even talk to Arpita after the tragedy. I am headed to Igatpuri as well, I am in the train right now. I was coming back from Delhi when I heard about this. Nitesh was much younger than me. He was a very lively person and I don't think he had a history of any heart ailment.”

Nitesh Pandey was a regular on Television and movies. He had starred in Dabangg, Khosla Ka Ghosla among others. He worked in TV serials like Manzilein Apani Apani, Astitva...Ek Prem Kahani, Saaya, Justajoo and Durgesh Nandini.

In an interview with Rajshri Productions, Joshi recalled the shooting days and how excited he was to share the screen with Madhuri Dixit. “I am a huge fan of Madhuri Ji, I was quite excited to work with her. On the first day of the shoot, I got ready before the call time. It was a fan moment when I saw her stepping down the stairs in the cricket costume and she crossed me. It was a surreal feeling to see her live,” he shared.

He also said that director Sooraj Barjatya introduced him to Madhuri Dixit as a 'renowned artist from the Gujarati industry'. He added, “It was so sweet of him to listen to me while shooting the film with such big artists. He asked his assistant to bring the script and my schedule. He saw it and asked me if I can give him my entire day and a few hours the next morning just for some close-up shots. He adjusted everything by going out of his way and without making any fuss. He has such a helpful nature.”

Then, talking about with working Salman Khan, Joshi recalled, “During the film’s schedule in Filmistaan, I shared a room with Salman Khan. He never objected to me being in his room. He was very cooperative and threw no tantrums. it was fun working with him.”
