Gadar – Ek Prem Katha (2001) is not just one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema but a film that continues to be loved and consumed regularly, even after 22 years of its release. When it arrived in cinemas on June 15, 2021, it created a frenzy in cinemas. Hence, it was shocking when Sunny Deol dropped the bomb that before the release, there were apprehensions in the industry about its box office prospects. Distributors shied away from buying it while some suggested that it seems like a ‘Punjabi film’! Sunny Deol opened about up about this aspect at the re-release premiere of Gadar – Ek Prem Katha, held in Mumbai on Friday, June 9.

Sunny Deol said, "Jab Gadar – Ek Prem Katha lagi, tab humein nahin pata tha ki yeh film gadar machayegi (smiles). People used to say, 'Yeh Punjabi film hai. Isse Hindi mein dub karo'. Some distributors said, 'Main toh nahin kharidunga yeh film'. So we did face a lot of issues. Lekin janta ko film itni pasand aayi ki unhone sab ka munh bandh karwa diya! Unhone hi humein himmat di hai ki hum part 2 banayein."

Gadar – Ek Prem Katha was re-released on June 9 across the country as the sequel, Gadar 2, is all set to hit cinemas on August 11 this year. Just like the first part, Gadar 2 also stars Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma.

A discussion on Gadar – Ek Prem Katha with Sunny Deol is incomplete without the mention of the iconic hand pump scene. When Sunny was asked if he’ll once again lift the hand pump to beat the baddies, Sunny Deol joked, "Iss baar in logon ne saare hand pumps chhupa diye. Pehle se hi nikaal diye!"

Director Anil Sharma was also present and he remarked, "Main film yehi soch ke banata hoon ki yeh Bharat ki hi nahin, vishwa ki sabse badi blockbuster hogi. At times, I succeed and at times, I don't. Gadar – Ek Prem Katha ke time pe main sahi ho gaya. Sunny ji is humble. He knows from the inside (that the film will work). Yet, he would ask me, 'Sharma ji, chalegi?'. I would say, 'Chalegi nahin sir, daudegi. Bahut daudegi'.”

Just last month on May 26 it was announced that Shahid Kapoor had been roped in to feature as the male lead in Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews next. The film, which will be a collaboration between Roy Kapur Films and Zee Studios, is said to be an action thriller that will see Shahid sharing screen space with Pooja Hegde. Interestingly, Bollywood Hungama has learnt that for the yet-untitled venture, Shahid has decided on taking a cut in his fee. In fact, if what the grapevine says is true then Shahid who charged a whopping Rs. 40 cr. for his recent release Bloody Daddy has taken a cut of nearly Rs. 15 cr. for the Rosshan Andrrews venture.

Revealing details a well-placed industry source tells Bollywood Hungama, “Shahid Kapoor has been at the top of his game. With the success of Farzi and of course now Bloody Daddy being released, it does come as a surprise that Shahid would take a pay cut. Compared to Bloody Daddy for which Shahid charged a whopping Rs. 40 cr, for this untitled venture he has taken a cut of Rs. 15 cr. Shahid has charged just Rs. 25 cr. for the film.”

Interestingly, the source points out that with Shahid Kapoor deciding to slash his fee others in the industry will also have to follow suit. “With Shahid deciding to slash his fees, most other actors as well will have to re-evaluate their remunerations. Filmmakers and producers are going to cite Shahid as an example.”

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor in a recent interview made an appeal to the audience from the southern region to embrace Hindi films. He expressed his desire for the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada audience to reciprocate the same acceptance that Hindi films receive from the Hindi-speaking audience. Kapoor emphasized the need for a mutual exchange, encouraging viewers from the south to explore and watch Hindi movies.

Talking to Bollywood Spy, Shahid said, “The Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada audience should also watch Hindi films just as how the Hindi audience has accepted your films with an open heart, you all should also accept our films. Only then the cinema will grow, the audience should be open, and there should be acceptance from every quarters.”

Citing the example of IPL, Shahid added, “I feel everybody should work with everybody because when you watch the IPL, as an example, there is a team from every state. There are also fifteen extra players sitting on the bench and waiting, and players are being prepared that way. So, when the Indian team is being made, you must have seen now how there is an India A squad and India B squad. Why do we have that? We had the power to go to the B squad also because we have so many good players. That only happens because everybody is coming together to add more value, so films should also be like that, everybody should come together to add more value so more people go to the theatres. But everybody should have the same attitude.”

He further added, “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our filmmakers were not able to shoot abroad for their big-scale action films, therefore such films were not released for some time… But otherwise, from Hindi cinema’s standpoint of action films, our biggest superstars, whether it is Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar, or whether it is Aamir Khan in Ghajini, I think we have made very good action films. Hrithik Roshan is very, very good in action, War was fantastic.”

Meanwhile on the film, Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy released today on JioCinema which was helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. He was previously seen in Raj & DK helmed web series Farzi that is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. He will be soon seen alongside Kriti Sanon in an untitled Maddock film. The poster of the film is out and is expected to release in October.

Comedic genius Rajpal Yadav is a true gem in the Indian film industry. He has the extraordinary ability to make his scenes stand out in any film, regardless of the star-studded cast surrounding him. With his impeccable timing, unmatched comic skills, and a natural flair for delivering comedy dialogue and epic expressions, Yadav has given Indian movie-goers countless moments of side-splitting laughter throughout his career. Yadav's unique talent lies in his ability to extract humour from even the most mundane situations. In a recent interview, the actor shared his favourite scenes from his 2003 film Hungama and 2007 film Partner starring alongside Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif.

Hungama was a 2003 Bollywood comedy film directed by Priyadarshan. The movie featured an ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Aftab Shivdasani, Rimi Sen, and Rajpal Yadav. Yadav played a prominent role in the film and his performance was appreciated for his comedic timing and expressions. In an exclusive video interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rajpal Yadav recollected his memory of late writer-director Neeraj Vora. He said, “One day I and Paresh Rawal were missing Neeraj Vora sir a lot. We agreed that Neeraj Vora’s writing was blessed.” Recollecting the famous dialogue from the film, “Chalu mandir ka ghanta samaj ke rakha hai kya, koi bhi aake baja jaata hai’” Yadav said, “The better Neeraj ji had written it, the better Priyadarshan ji got it performed in the film.”

Further sharing his favourite scene from Partner, Yadav stated, “Because of Chota Don (his character name in the film), I was feeling so proud of myself in Fiji. I felt like even if I take 100 births in Bollywood, I can't repay its debt. Because there is one Don Amitabh Bachchan, then Don 2 Shah Rukh Khan and then one Chota Don Rajpay Yadav,” the actor laughed.

While Rajpal Yadav's talent has undoubtedly earned him a loyal fan base, there is a consensus among cinephiles that he deserves more recognition and opportunities to showcase his range as an actor. His ability to effortlessly switch between humour and emotions, combined with his natural charisma, makes him a versatile performer capable of delivering nuanced and impactful performances beyond comedy.

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah created a stir with his surprising confession about utilizing his Filmfare trophies as a door handle for the washroom in his farmhouse. This revelation has sparked diverse reactions from internet users and celebrities alike. Following Naseer's surprising revelation regarding his Filmfare trophies, Manoj Bajpayee responded by expressing his admiration for the awards, stating that Filmfare is like a dream to him. This was perceived by some as a subtle dig at Naseer. However, Manoj has now clarified the situation, putting to rest any speculation of a potential war of words between the two actors.

Manoj had stated to Times Now, “Filmfare has always been like a dream to me. I have grown up watching Filmfare and I used to enjoy watching it. People getting recognition is an amazing part being done there. Filmfare is like one of the biggest moments of pride and achievement. It is the most valuable part.”

Kya yaar ! Please listen to what I said in response to what’s my memory of filmfare awards! It was not an answer to anyone! https://t.co/Stp7hADGLw — manoj bajpayee (@BajpayeeManoj) June 7, 2023

Now, taking to Twitter Manoj wrote, “Kya yaar ! Please listen to what I said in response to what’s my memory of filmfare awards! It was not an answer to anyone!”

Following this he shared another tweet saying, “Meri aukaat nahi ki main Naseer bhai se uunchi aawaz mein bhi baat kar paun! Kya-kya samachaar kahaan kahaan se.”

मेरी औक़ात नहीं की मैं नसीर भाई से ऊँची आवाज़ में भी बात कर पाऊँ ! क्या क्या समाचार कहाँ कहाँ से ! https://t.co/gzwYa8DKde — manoj bajpayee (@BajpayeeManoj) June 7, 2023

In an interview with Lallantop, Naseeruddin Shah talked about how much he dislikes these award ceremonies and why he thinks it is ‘unfair’ to judge an actor’s skill. He said, “Any actor who has put their life and effort into portraying a role is a good actor. If you just pick one person from the lot and say that ‘this is the best actor of the year’, how’s it fair? I am not proud of those awards. I did not even go collect the last two awards I received. So, when I built a farmhouse, I decided to put these awards there. Whoever goes to the washroom will get two awards each as the handles are made of the Filmfare awards.”

He continued by stating that he has received awards because of lobbying and not because of his performance. He added, “I don’t find any value in these trophies. I was happy when I received the initial ones. But then, trophies started piling up around me. Sooner or later, I understood that these awards are a result of lobbying. One is receiving these awards not necessarily because of their merit. So I started leaving them behind.”

However, in the interview, the actor also confessed that with all due respect, he did attend the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan awards, the highest civilian awards that were presented to him at the Rashrapathi Bhavan in 1987 and 2003 respectively for his contribution in Indian Cinema. For the unversed, Naseeruddin Shah received Filmfare Awards thrice from 1981 to 1983 for his films Aakrosh, Chakra, and Masoom.

Once again, he has unveiled a heartfelt story from their personal journey together. In a recent interview Vicky revealed why avoids discussion with wife Katrina in the morning.

During an interview with NewsTak, Vicky Kaushal shared that upon waking up in the morning, he tends to keep a distance from Katrina Kaif. He said, “When I and Katrina wake up in the morning, we are completely different because I get up in the morning, drink coffee and join some kind of discussion only after breakfast. On the other hand, Katrina gets full energy as soon as she wakes up and she gets easily involved in anything. But I try to avoid that discussion.”

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied knot in December last year after dating for 2 years. It was a grand wedding in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. It was a private wedding in the presence of family members with limited friends from the film industry.

On the work front, Vicky Kaushal is currently basking the success of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.

Sara Ali Khan is currently enjoying the triumph of her recent movie, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. During a recent interview, she was questioned about the possibility of marrying a cricketer, considering her past association with cricketer Shubman Gill. Sara responded to the inquiry diplomatically, choosing not to provide a definitive answer.

In a recent interview, Sara was posed with a question about whether she would consider emulating her grandmother Sharmila Tagore's path by marrying a cricketer. Sara openly admitted that the profession of a potential partner does not hold much significance to her. She told India Today, “I think that the kind of person that I am, to find somebody it doesn’t matter what they do — actor, cricketer, businessman, doctor… Maybe not doctors, they will run away. But you know the truth is that jokes apart, you will need to match me on the mental and intellectual level. And if you can do that, I think it’s great, wow but I think that would matter to me much, much more (than the profession).”

When further probed to reveal if there is anyone from the present Indian cricket team who has captured her interest, the actor responded, “I’ll be honest with you, I think and I can say this with almost assurity, I think the person I am going to be in my life I have not met so far. I really don’t think so.”

Meanwhile on the film front, Sara Ali Khan has an interesting line-up of films. She has Ae Watan Mere Watan, Homi Adajania’s Murder Mubarak and Anurag Basu’s Metro... In Dino lined up for release this year.

Anil Sharma’s Partition drama Gadar: Ek Prem Katha created history on its release in 2001 on many counts. It not only proved to be one of the biggest blockbusters of all times, it even beat the far more hyped and sophisticated Lagaan, which was released on the same day, June 15, 2001.

Now Gadar producers Zee Studios are all set to re-release Gadar: Ek Prem Katha two months ahead of its sequel, which opens in August.

The original Gadar: Ek Prem Katha has been completely re-mastered at a staggering cost of Rs. 2 crores. Not only that, but the newly enhanced viewing experience would also offer audiences extra scenes that were not a part of the film when it originally opened.

Zee will release the refurbished version of Gadar in a selected number of theatres on Friday. The number of shows will increase as per the response to the film.

Anil Sharma’s Gadar is the epic saga of Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Sikh truck driver who falls in love with Sakeena (Ameesha Patel), whose family is considered to be killed during the Partition. She marries Tara and starts her life afresh. But later she comes to know that her family is alive in Pakistan. When she visits her parents in Pakistan, her father Ashraf Ali (Amrish Puri) confines her as he doesn’t approve her marriage with Tara. After knowing about Sakeena’s situation, Tara visits Pakistan with their son to get her back.

During one of my past conversations with Sunny Deol, the actor had said he had never worked in a film that had the emotional impact of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.

22 years later it would be interesting to see how a new generation of audiences reacts to this fabulous fable of timeless love. Zee Studios is very confident of its product.

“Gadar is a film that never dated. With the enhanced sound and visuals, it will not only attract the staunch audience of the film but also bring in a new audience,” said a Zee personnel on the condition of anonymity.

When Zoya Akhtar wrote her 2015 family-on-a-cruise waterborne road film Dil Dhadakne Do, which turned 8 on June 5, she intended to cast Kareena Kapoor Khan and her cousin Ranbir Kapoor as siblings. After all, as Zoya and her brother Farhan argued, this was the only opportunity that two charismatic Kapoor cousins would have to come together, as they cannot play the conventional lead pair for very obvious reasons.

As Zoya had reasoned at that time, it was either Kareena and Ranbir or Zoya and Farhan. Kareena agreed to do the film on condition that Ranbir would come on board to do her sibling’s role. Ranbir initially said yes and then opted out, ostensibly for reasons of a date clash with another project. However, sources had revealed that Ranbir was not sure at that point of time that he wanted to be seen on screen with his superstar-cousin.

After Ranbir’s exeunt, Kareena too expressed unwillingness to do the project arguing that she would rather not be seen as Ranveer Singh’s sibling. This was not the first time Ranveer stepped into Ranbir’s role. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela had first been offered to Ranbir. On the other hand, Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet was first offered to Ranveer Singh.
