(the beauty of nature depends on your perception and thoughts. Lord Ram has taught us that one must see the love in the fruit gifted by Shabri, not that it was fake or wrong… Don’t look at one’s flaws, instead, understand their emotions behind it)."

The makers of Neeyat seem to be on a roll! After releasing a teaser and introducing 11 characters in a single day, the Vidya Balan - starrer murder-mystery film, Neeyat released its theatrical trailer today. Set in the breathtakingly beautiful highlands of Scotland, the engaging trailer takes the viewer into the glamourous world of billionaire Ashish Kapoor and his close circle of family and friends, where everyone is tangled in their own web of secrets. When Ashish Kapoor ends up being murdered at his own party, it is up to Detective Mira Rao to uncover the hidden motives and mysteries in this classic whodunnit.

Audiences can expect edge-of-the-seat, captivating entertainment from this murder mystery with Vidya Balan looking especially refreshing in a never-seen-before avatar.

A unique genre backed by a stellar ensemble cast makes this film definitely one to look out for!

Speaking about her experience of working on Neeyat and returning to the big screen, Vidya Balan said, “What I enjoy most about being an actor is the opportunity to live the life of a different person with every character I play. In Neeyat, Detective Mira Rao is not your everyday, classic detective which is what made it great fun for me. Also, not only did I get a chance to sink my teeth into an unusual and quirky character but I also got to work with a powerful set of co-actors. This film is my second outing with Anu after Shakuntala Devi and my fourth collaboration with Vikram, Abundantia Entertainment, and Prime Video and I can only say that I have had the most amazing time working with them to make this film. Last, but not least, I’m supremely delighted to be back in theatres with the release of Neeyat and am waiting with bated breath for audience reactions.”

Speaking about her film, director Anu Menon shared, “Neeyat is very special for all of us. Not only is it a genre unique to India, but it was also my first time working on a classic murder mystery with such a huge cast, in a completely foreign location. While working with Vidya and this ensemble cast, was both exciting and challenging; it was also a lot of fun! The film promises to entertain and take the audience on an engaging ride. I am excited for them to experience the murder mystery of the year in theatres!”

Neeyat will release across theatres worldwide on July 7th.

Reacting swiftly to a report that the slain crime reporter J Dey’s sister Leena is ailing and is in dire need of financial help, Hansal Mehta, who has directed a thunderously successful web series Scoop on J Dey’s dastardly slaying, has decided to offer any and every kind of help needed to her.

While Hansal does not wish to go on-record on this critical matter, a close friend of the feted filmmaker revealed, “Hansal read the report and immediately galvanized into action. Long before he made the series, he was deeply shocked and moved by Dey’s murder. Now having made the series, he feels closer to Dey’s story than before.”

Hansal will be going all-out to provide assistance to Dey’s sister Leena. But as the source further revealed, “He wouldn’t like to talk about this. To extract publicity out of what is a normal natural act of humanism is sick. That’s how Hansal feels. What happens between Hansal and Dey’s family won’t go into the public domain.”

Scoop, which is streaming on Jio Cinema, is inspired from the arrest and trial of real journalist Jigna Vora for the murder of J Dey. The show, which sees Karishma Tanna essay the central character, is adapted from Jigna Vora’s book ‘Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison’. The show also stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Harman Baweja.

Netflix dropped the trailer of the much anticipated second edition of its Emmy-nominated anthology Lust Stories 2. Giving us their own version and vision of Lust, 4 directors; Amit Ravindernath Sharma, Konkona Sen Sharma, R. Balki and Sujoy Ghosh have created a collection of films with a crackling starcast including Amruta Shubhash, Angad Bedi, Kajol, Kumud Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neena Gupta, Tamannaah Bhatia, Tillotama Shome and Vijay Varma. The film will showcase the many shades of lust, helmed by a talented ensemble of actors in a never seen before avatar. Produced by Ashi Dua and Ronnie Screwvala, the film will premiere on Netflix on 29th June 2023.

Speaking on the second anthology of Lust Stories, R Balki, says, “Lust is natural and most important in a relationship. It’s critical for all to recognise it. I wanted to create a lust story that a family can watch together. Why should a story of lust always make for exciting solo viewing and be uncomfortable for family viewing when families are created by love and lust? Neena Gupta, Mrunal and Angad have brought to life this simple, hilarious tale in the most charming way possible. Having partners like Netflix, RSVP and Flying Unicorn trust me to create a film for this reputed anthology has been immensely gratifying. I hope it's a story that will resonate with people.”

From romance to action, there is something for everyone ????#LustStories2 trailer out now! ???? pic.twitter.com/pZWwXmXXtJ — Netflix India (@NetflixIndia) June 21, 2023

Further speaking on it, Konkona Sen Sharma shares, “There is something exhilarating about a woman getting her rightly deserved freedom and taking control of her life and this is exactly what I wanted to showcase in my anthology for Lust Stories 2. I was quite thrilled and excited when I was approached by RSVP, Flying Unicorn, and Netlfix to do this project. Lust for me, like many, is a forbidden topic and I wanted to break away from the norm which was only possible because of my wonderful co-writer Pooja Tolani. I couldn't have asked for a better cast than Amruta and Tillotama, who worked so in sync with each other!”

Adding on to that, Sujoy Ghosh says, “This time lust stories are all about the different shades of Lust. I am so glad that RSVP, Flying Unicorn, and Netflix brought this opportunity to me, and that our lust story will be watched by audiences in 190 countries. Tamannaah and Vijay brought the film to life just as I had imagined it, and I am hoping audiences will enjoy seeing their chemistry on screen.”

And finally, Amit Ravindernath Sharma, shares, “‘’When Netflix, Ronnie, and Ashi approached me to be a part of their Emmy Nominated anthology Lust Stories, it was an immediate yes for me. It was truly an exceptional experience to work with actors like Kajol and Kumud Mishra to bring this complex and edgy vision of lust to the audiences. Lust has multiple shades and this film of mine depicts the lust for power and ambition’’. ALSO READ: Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma debate on love vs lust in new promo of Lust Stories 2, watch

Akshay Kumar has briefly commented about his array of failures at the box office in the past year. In 2022, the actor faced a string of flops including Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, and Ram Setu. Even this year’s Selfiee failed to make any waves at the box office. The actor has now admitted that box office numbers do bother him.

In a chat with Financial Express, Akshay was asked about box office numbers and if they bother him, he said, “Of course, they do.” He added, “We are made or we are broken because of the box office numbers. That’s what you call hits and flops. The audiences tell us when we are right and where we are going wrong, and all that is reflected in the box office numbers because if a film does not work, that means people didn’t come to see it, which in turn means that they didn’t connect to it. And it means that’s the time for you to change.”

He added, “I have had many cycles of ups and downs in my life. The one common thing is that when the going’s good there are all praises and when it’s not it’s more criticism than you can imagine. Yes, I am human, and good feels good, and bad feels bad, but I am also proud of the ability I have to move on extremely quickly. What keeps me going is the same will I had on the first day I started work, I love working! And no one can take that away from me! You just have to keep going on, there is no other way. There is a higher power that sees everything and it compounds and gives you back the results of the honest hard work you put in, that’s how I deal with it.”

On the work front, Akshay Kumar will be seen with Parineeti Chopra in The Great Indian Rescue, directed by Tinu Suresh Desai. The film will release on October 5. He also has OMG- Oh My God 2 alongside Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. The film is slated to release on August 11. ALSO READ: Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 to release in theatres on August 11

This year, Aanand L Rai's film Raanjhanaa celebrates a decade of journey, and even today the soundtrack by the great music maestro Mr. A. R. Rahman and acclaimed lyricist Irshaad Kamil, is widely played. Raanjhanaa marked the first collaboration between Aanand L Rai and A.R. Rahman. The film stars Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, and Abhay Deol. Though the film was appreciated back in time, it hasn't aged gracefully and Abhay Deol agrees.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Abhay Deol said, “The film portrayed things that do happen and was true to the subject. The filmmaker’s motive was also to have empathy and show the evolution of a character. But there is no doubt that there is this formula that Hindi films go for which is to add glamorisation.”

Dhanush played the role of Kundan who pursues Sonam Kapoor's character Zoya, relentlessly. She dates Jasjeet, played by Abhay Deol. He added, “In the process of glamorising it, the film lost the essence of his message, which was about love and respect and boundaries. That was the intention with which the filmmaker came in. It was quite the opposite of what may have come out purely because we have to glamorize everything in order to make it commercially digestible, but there are some things which cannot be made palatable.”

Back in 2020, Abhay had said that history will not look at the movie kindly for its regressive message. He said, “It’s been a theme in Bollywood for decades, where a boy can (and should), pursue a girl until she relents. Only in cinema does she do that willfully. In reality, we have seen time and again that it leads to sexual violence of some sort. Glorifying it on screen only leads to blaming the victim.” ALSO READ: 10 Years of Raanjhanaa: Aanand L Rai unveils unseen moments of Dhanush – Sonam Kapoor starrer: “Dive into the emotional journey”

The Mumbai Police has taken a significant step in response to a complaint of sexual harassment filed against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah producer Asit Kumar Modi, operation head Sohail Ramani, and executive producer Jatin Bajaj. The case was registered at the Powai police station after a popular actress associated with the show made serious allegations against the accused.

As per a report by ANI, acting promptly, the city police conducted a preliminary investigation into the matter and subsequently registered a First Information Report (FIR) under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The victim, whose identity has been withheld for confidentiality reasons, disclosed in her complaint that she had been a part of the widely watched TV serial for the past 15 years. The alleged incidents of sexual harassment, according to the complaint, took place between the years 2021 and 2023. The nature and details of the incidents were not disclosed in the available information.

This development comes in the wake of former Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal recording her statement with the Mumbai Police last week, regarding her own allegations of sexual harassment against producer Asit Kumar Modi. The cumulative weight of these allegations has raised serious concerns about the work environment within the popular television show.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has made an investment in Cartel & Bros, an alcobev (alcoholic beverage) startup aiming to import and retail a range of liquor brands in India. The startup's initial offering is Glenwalk, a blended Scotch whisky imported from Scotland. Future plans include introducing vodka, tequila, and single malt brands. 

Mokksh Sani, one of the five partners of the venture and promoter of liquor retail chain Living Liquidz, revealed that the company has secured a factory lease in Scotland. The aim is to price the products affordably, making them accessible to a broader base of young consumers.

Despite the challenges associated with the regulated alcobev industry, including complex regulations, state-level taxation, and price controls, the team behind Cartel & Bros remains optimistic. Sani acknowledges that while regulations exist in every business, India's young population is willing to experiment with alcoholic beverages. This optimism is bolstered by India's status as one of the fastest-growing alcohol markets globally.

Recent data from the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) indicates that India has surpassed France to become the UK's largest Scotch whisky market in terms of volume. Import of Scotch whisky witnessed a significant 60% surge in 2022 compared to the previous year. 

Coming back to Dutt, speaking of his professional front, the 63-year-old actor was last seen in Shamshera, which was released in 2022. He has an interesting line-up with a bunch of projects in his kitty including multi-starrer Baap. Besides this, he will be seen playing a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming flick Jawan, helmed by Atlee Kumar. The film is slated to release on September 7.

One doesn’t need to have a lengthy screen time to make a mark. Deepak Tijori proved it in Ghulam (1998). He was there in just three scenes, all of which are arguably the most memorable parts of the Aamir Khan-Rani Mukerji starrer. The scene at the railway track has assumed cult status. As Ghulam celebrates its 25th anniversary on June 19, Bollywood Hungama went down memory lane and talked exclusively to Deepak Tijori about the film, his experience and a lot more.

How did you bag Ghulam? Ghulam went on floors 1 ½ years before its release. I knew about it and that it has a good script. I had no idea that someday, I’ll become a part of it. The makers were looking out for a suitable actor to play Charlie. Though it had little screen time, it was a very prominent character. They had considered a lot of actors, but nothing worked.

One fine day, I got a call from Mukesh ji (producer Mukesh Bhatt). Earlier, I had turned down a few of their films as I was not happy with my role or the script. Hence, the first thing Mukesh ji told me was, ‘Dekh, mujhe malum hai Tijori ki tujhe na bolne ki bahut aadat hai! Lekin tu ek baar pehle story aa ke sunn le’. I felt a little embarrassed as he’s such a senior man and he was talking me that way (smiles)! I assured him that I’ll surely come to their office and hear the narration.

Those were the days when a lot of people would call me to do cameos or small roles. Some of the biggest directors would narrate the whole script to me. I would learn that my part was so minuscule that even if they edit it out, it wouldn’t change the script at all. I have been blatant about it to a couple of big directors about it. I would ask them, ‘Boss, agar mera role nikal gaya, toh aap film bana paaoge?’. They were senior people and would get a jolt when I would ask this question. I would add, ‘I don’t mind that I am not doing the main role. The problem is that the film would be made even without my part. Toh fir mere role ka matlab nahin hai. Agar aapki film zyada lambi ho gayi, toh sabse pehle mera role katega na’!

I expected something similar for Ghulam as well. I met Vicky (director Vikram Bhatt) and I asked him to narrate only my scenes. He agreed. So, I didn’t know the story of the film, but I liked the way he narrated, and I also liked the script. This is when I learned that just like Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), even here, it was Aamir Khan who recommended me. I was happy to know that. When I heard my part, I realized where Aamir is coming from.

After the narration, I told Vicky that I’ll do the film. I then met Mukesh ji and told him, ‘Main film kar raha hoon. Paise ki baat toh aapse kar nahin sakta kyunki aap jo dena chahte ho, wohi dete ho. Hum jitna maangte hai, utna toh aap dete nahin ho. Toh aap mujhe dates bata dena’! Mukesh ji started laughing and said, ‘Tu paagal aadmi hai’. I replied, ‘Jaisa hoon, aap hi ka hoon’! I have grown up in Bhatt saab and Mukesh ji’s office. I owed everything to them and still do. I always felt like they are family to me. So, whatever they would pay me, I would accept it.

How was it working with Rani Mukerji? Rani was very friendly and a very sweet girl. It was my first meeting with her. She had done a film earlier, but she was correct for her role in Ghulam. Aamir, I and Rani shared a great equation on the sets.

How was it to shoot the classic ‘Dus Dus Ki Daud’ scene on the railway track? Those days, there was no clear-cut thing that mera do din ka kaam hai ya paanch din ka kaam hai. It was like ‘Jitna scene ko time lagega, utne din hum lenge’. I came on the set and felt happy to see that the character was given more power than I had imagined. I was happy with the way the shoot progressed.

We shot in Sanpada. It’s quite far and used to take 1 ½ hours to reach the location. We shot there for 12 nights. Once in a while, Mukesh ji would land up on the sets and would keep pushing us. He used to tell us, ‘Theek se shoot karo. Poora yard book kiya hai yeh shoot ke liye. Bahut paise daale hai’ (laughs)! Anyway, we were working hard, and he motivated us even further.

During the shoot of ‘Dus Dus Ki Daud’ scene, Vicky fell ill. He could not come to the sets. It was a crazy situation. Mukesh ji panicked as he had booked the whole place. Even the local trains were running as per our requirements. It was a costly affair and for those days, it was an incredibly big sequence. There were more than 200 people on the sets including the action team and the actors playing the biker gang members.

Mukesh ji called Vicky and told him, ‘Tum phone pe direct karo. Bhatt saab phone pe direct karte hai. Tum bhi karo’! Vicky then called Aamir and told him, ‘Tu aur Deepak shoot kar lo yaar’. Aamir asked, ‘Shoot kar lo matlab kya shoot karein?’. Vicky replied, ‘Kuch bhi shoot kar lo. Close-up shots le lo’. Aamir then started taking some shots. However, then he realized that his vision will be different from that of Vicky’s. Hence he made it clear that he was not going to step into Vicky’s shoes. He then put the ball in my court and asked me to take charge. I categorically said, ‘Paagal ho gaya hai kya? Main nahin kar raha’ (laughs). This was the time when I was neither a director nor even thinking of being one. He then told Mukesh ji that he won’t be able to direct. Thankfully, from the next day onwards, Vicky resumed shooting though he was not fully well.

Did Aamir Khan shoot himself for the scene where he runs in the direction of the train? Yes. He is very diligent in that matter. He was devoted. Even in the rehearsals, he would run with full force.

How was it to shoot on the track with the train so close to you? For the last part of the shot, the junior artists were not there. There was only Aamir, me, the train motorman and some VFX guys. As per the scene, I trip on the tracks while running. I freeze and this is when Aamir pulls me out. Now we are used to this thing that ‘Gaadi ka driver brake maar dega time pe’. We expected the motorman to do the same. But he told us, ‘Dekho, mere paas aisa brake nahin hota hai. Tum log yeh mat sochna ki main brake maarunga aur gaadi ruk jaayegi. Tum log please distance rakhna. Accident nahin hona chahiye’. Aamir and I look at each other in fear and were like ‘Oh my God’ (laughs).

We rehearsed a couple of times to understand how much time the train takes to cover a distance. Accordingly, we decided when to move away from the tracks. Yet, we tried to make it as close and nail-biting as possible. It was scary as I was lying on the tracks and Aamir had to pull me. So, everything was depending on him. Thankfully, it went off well.

How do you look back at this scene? And what was the audience's reaction like? I thank Aamir for recommending me and giving me another feather in my cap. I’ll never forget the experience. It is one of the most memorable sequences of my career. I never thought these three scenes would become so iconic. The film also did well. Travelling to Sanpada for 12 nights was worth it!

It was amazing to see this scene in cinemas with the audience. There was a frenzy in the theatres. Unfortunately, some people took it too seriously and began emulating it in real life. I heard that some people even died while trying to do the stunt. It led to many people blaming us and asking us to be more careful while showing such stuff on screen. We then spread the word that these scenes are done by professionals or under professional guidance and that one must not attempt to copy the stunts. We also had to put a disclaimer. It was one of the first instances wherein disclaimers started being inserted in films.

I also remember there were a lot of claps for the scene where your character saves Siddhu (Aamir Khan) in the pre-climax… I remember we met for some occasion after the film was released. Aamir told me, ‘Tujhe pata hai, tu jab wapis aata hai na end mein, kya seetiyan aur taaliyan bajti hai theatre mein. Mereko samaj nahin aa raha hai tha ki film ka hero tu hai ya main hoon’ (laughs)!

Nevertheless, it was a team effort. We should also not forget scriptwriter Anjum Rajabali. He wrote an incredible script.

What was also unforgettable in the film was the song ‘Aati Kya Khandala’… Its lyricist Nitin Raikwar used to come on the sets. ‘Aati Kya Khandala’ was not even shot at that time. He used to make us hear the song. The moment he would go ‘Aye, Kya Bolti Tu’, we used to get amazed kyunki iss tarah ka lyrics bahut naya tha hamare liye. You won’t believe it, even before the song was recorded, the unit members were already singing ‘Aati Kya Khandala’ on the sets! Hence, we knew this is going to be a sure-shot hit.

Could you tell us which films of Bhatts did you turn down? It was Bhatt saab’s Angaaray (1998). It starred Akshay Kumar and Nagarjuna. I am like his child and when I refused to do the film, he was like, ‘Paagal hai tu. Samajta nahin hai’! I remember the producer, who’s also my friend, told me, ‘Tujhe set pe roz gaaliyan padti hai’ as I turned down the film! He does that to people whom he loves and cares for (smiles).

The much-awaited film Adipurush has finally been released with much fanfare. Starring Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon, the film has opened at a huge Rs. 36 crores as per early estimates. What’s praiseworthy is that despite being such an expensive film, the makers didn’t ask for ticket prices to be insanely hiked. The norm nowadays is to opt for blockbuster rates for biggies. Often, this makes it unaffordable for the masses. Many have been complaining about it on social media but their plea has fallen on deaf ears. Everyone expected Adipurush makers to also sell tickets at inflated prices. But viewers were pleasantly surprised when they realized that the ticket rates were steep but not as much as for other big-scale films of recent times.

During an interaction with Hindustan Times, Bhushan Kumar explained that there are three price brackets – regular, popular and blockbuster. He said, “Big films like Brahmastra (2022), RRR (2022) and KGF - Chapter 2 (2022) opted for blockbuster rates. But, we opted for the popular rates. The tickets are expensive, as Adipurush is also available in 3D and theatres have added their cost.”

Director Om Raut, meanwhile, revealed that he had asked for a cap in ticket prices. He added that if they had their way, they would have sold Adipurush’s tickets for Rs. 100 so that the masses could afford to watch it.

In the same story, Bhushan Kumar also revealed that Om Raut had done a thorough research and hence, they were able to sail through easily during the Censor process. Bhushan said, “Om had a checklist of things we should not do. He had everything documented by the experts. Even when we went to the Censor Board for certification, we were prepared for the questions that might come up. I’m glad we got a U certificate.”

Sonia, hailing from a small district in Assam, shared her harrowing experience of being scammed out of more than Rs 50,000 by individuals claiming to offer her acting opportunities.

According to a report by Free Press Journal, Sonia, currently residing in Goregaon, Mumbai, filed a complaint with the local police, narrating her unfortunate encounter with the scammer. Seeking auditions and acting roles, she stumbled upon a phone number and a Facebook link that supposedly belonged to Rajan Shahi. These contacts led her to a post mentioning casting calls for popular serials, including Anupamaa, and claimed to be associated with Shahi's production company, Director's Kut Productions.

The imposter engaged in conversation with Sonia and eventually demanded payment for membership in the Cine And TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA), insisting it was a prerequisite for landing a role. During this ordeal, Sonia was put in touch with two people—one impersonating Rajan Shahi and the other claiming to be Anita Singh from CINTAA. Trusting the imposter's promises, Sonia reportedly transferred approximately Rs 53,000 for the alleged CINTAA membership.

However, her ordeal did not end there. She was subsequently asked to pay an additional Rs 24,000. Realizing she could not afford to pay any more money, Sonia expressed her inability to do so. In response, the imposter assured her that the money would be refunded. Unfortunately, the promised refund never materialized. Sensing something was amiss, Sonia made several attempts to contact the individuals involved but found herself blocked from further communication.

In her complaint to the Mumbai Police, Sonia poured out her heart, stating, "I am a simple girl trying to make my living in this city by acting and selling ladies' bags to friends and their circle. I am in constant need of money and work to survive, and hence was duped by these people. I humbly request your help in recovering my hard-earned money and ensuring that these individuals are punished so that they do not cheat other innocent people."

Hrithik Roshan bagged his fifth International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category for his performance in Vikram Vedha, commemorating the experience the versatile actor shared a reel on social media.

Presenting an unseen facet of his versatility, Hrithik Roshan impressed with his impactful performance as the menacing Vedha in Vikram Vedha. Paying attention to all details, Hrithik aced the mannerisms to the accent as the dreaded yet ethically sound gangster, making him worthy of all the praises and accolades for his role.

Bagging the award at the event in Abu Dhabi, Hrithik Roshan had decided it to the makers of his film Pushkar and Gayatri saying, “I have lived with Vedha for many years now. It began right here in Abu Dhabi. I gave my first shot as Vedha here...it feels like life has come full circle to me. Vedha helped me unleash madness inside me which I did not know existed. Thank you universe and thank you Vedha for helping me discover that madness and helping me discover the strength to hold that madness. I really love and admire characters which are born out of a deep collaboration between an actor and a director. And I know for a fact I wouldn't be standing here this evening if it wasn't for my directors.”

Saying this, Hrithik Roshan invited the co-writers and director duo Pushkar and Gayatri on stage, dedicating the award to them and expressed his gratitude for them. The director duo also showered their love on Hrithik Roshan, reciprocating the admiration and respect.

Summarising his experience, Hrithik Roshan shared a video offering glimpses as he got ready in his dapper suit for the event, alongwith highlights from his media interactions and the winning moment on stage. He captioned the post saying, "Always feels like Home at @iifa ???? #IIFA2023 Awards priemere on Colours Tv & Jio Cinema App this 18 June, 8 pm Onwards"

Interestingly, Hrithik Roshan’s debut film Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai released in 2000, same year that IIFA was instituted. The Indian superstar revealed the same during his press interaction at the award ceremony. Hrithik Roshan said, “I’ve got some amazing memories with IIFA; IIFA and I began together in 2000.”

As the IIFA was held in Abu Dhabi this year, Hrithik Roshan revealed another interesting anecdote saying, “Abu Dhabi is where I gave my first shot as an actor”, recalling his first ever scene for Vikram Vedha shot in the city.

Legendary actor Mithun Chakraborty turned 73 yesterday. He has acted in over 350 movies in a career spanning close to 50 years. Known the most for films like Disco Dancer and Agneepath, he continues to be active in films. He was a pivotal part in last year’s blockbuster The Kashmir Files. Just before Mithun Chakraborty’s special day, we spoke to his son Mahaakshay aka Mimoh Chakraborty on how it has been growing up with an evergreen star.

How are you planning to celebrate Mithunda’s birthday? Dad… you know how low-profile he is. He doesn’t celebrate his birthday at all. He strictly tells us not to wish him, no celebration, etc. But we don’t listen to him. We call him at midnight and sing “Happy Birthday”. But when he is in Mumbai, we insist that he cook for us. That is something we look forward to on his birthday.

As a child, what were your first impressions of your father? As a child my first impression of my dad was that he was always super-busy. Would you believe, he used to do as many as six shifts per day? Six projects on the floor on the same day! To each he would give two hours. So he was always on the move, whether in Mumbai or out of the city. So my brother and I would hardly ever see him. But when we did see him, we used to be very scared of him. He had this intimidating personality. Dad was Dad! Like mom was always mom, cuddly and affectionate. Today, touchwood, dad and I the best of friends. We’ve adult conversations. Back then we were very scared of him.

When did you become aware that he was a major star. Did you have first-hand experiences of your father being mobbed? See, we always knew dad was an actor, a superstar and a legend. And we’ve seen him first-hand being mobbed left, right and centre by his fans. But even today, when you ask me this, for us it’s never been like, “Oh he is a superstar!”. We know how much people love and respect him. But for us he has always been a dad. An achiever no doubt. But not Mithun Chakraborty, the superstar. Dad is dad.

When did you first watch his films and which are your favourites? I am sure you liked him best in Disco Dancer when you were a child I don’t remember at what age I started watching his films. He was already doing a whole lot of films while we were kids. Of course, I love Disco Dancer. But my favourite film of dad is Phool Aur Angaaray. I don’t know why I have a soft corner for that particular film. I remember watching the film 10-15 times at the trials before it was released. Somehow, the movie was fixated in my head. In the second-half when he has this Terminator look with jelled hair and the leather jacket out to take revenge… the coolest action hero.

Since he was doing multi- shifts when you were born, did you get to spend enough time with him as a child? We did not get to spend that much time with him. He was working his ass off for us. Even today he is doing everything for us. I remember when we were young and waiting for him to come home, dad had this habit of ringing the doorbell twice. Whenever the doorbell rang twice, we knew dad was home. Back then, we couldn’t understand why we didn’t have more time with him. Now we know.

Is Mithun da a disciplinarian? Or did he pamper you and your siblings silly? Dad was always a balanced father. Right remains right and wrong remains wrong. It doesn’t change for his children. He’s never over-protected or pampered us. He is a balanced father with me and my three siblings.

Does it become a burden sometimes to be known as Mithun Charaborty's son? I don’t think the privilege of being Mithun Chakraborty’s son would ever be a burden. Today also people tell me, “Dada ke hum fan hain. Unki filmein dekh kar bade hue.” It is such an honour. We are always reminded of his achievements. It feels like such a blessing to be one of his children. I thank my parents for this. And please understand, there is no entitlement to my career because of whose son I am. I am just thankful for having the parents that I do. If you ask me next year or ten years from now what it feels like to be my father’s son, the answer will remain the same: it is and it will always be a blessing.

Your birthday wish? My birthday wish for my dad? It’s my dream and my life’s purpose to make him proud. I want to say thank you for all the love he has given us. It is my wish to keep pushing myself to make him proud.

The film Murder (2004) is credited to have made erotica mainstream in Bollywood. But 10 months before the release of this film, Khwahish (2003) arrived in cinemas and surprised people with its content. It starred Himanshu Malik in the lead and is said to be the debut film of Mallika Sherawat. As Khwahish completed 20 years on June 6, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Himanshu Malik about working on this film and a lot more.

How did you bag the film? The director, Govind Menon, was an old friend. This was the time when I had just worked in Tum Bin (2001), a year before. It had done really well. The makers of Khwahish were looking to do a fresh film and they had a good script in hand. My current producer, Akbar Arabiyan, was also the producer of Khwahish. That’s how I know him.

It was a passion project. We were all very driven. Govind had just done his filmmaking course in the USA. He had some fresh, interesting ideas. Khwahish was ahead of its time in certain ways. It showed how youth engage with relationships and that’s why it created a flutter.

Khwahish was one of the first films or maybe the first film that showed a character hesitating to buy a condom. 20 years have passed but this aspect is shown in films even today. The recent release Jogira Sara Ra Ra (2023) also had a similar scene… Yes. The characters in the film discussed sex openly. This happens in every relationship but it was never shown on celluloid before. It was an era of Yash Raj and Karan Johar films. Everything then was soaked in buttery, sugary syrup. That is what stood out in Khwahish and we got noticed and remembered.

The belief that it had 17 kisses in the film must have also helped in generating awareness and hype… It was quite unprecedented. Now they show much more. But at that time, we were petrified that due to the kisses, the Censor Board might refuse certification. There was a lot of anxiety among us. At that time, if a hero and heroine would kiss, the makers would cut to birds flying or flowers dashing. A Yash Raj or Karan Johar film had not shown a kiss till then. It was very brave of the makers to go for it.

But were there as many as 17 kisses in the film? I happen to count and I feel the number of kisses was lesser… I don’t know who came up with the idea. I guess 17 kisses toh nahin the. Some journalist had mentioned it. The connotation became that it had a lot of kisses. Then all the idiotic discussions began that whether a peck on the lips is a kiss or a forehead kiss is also counted as a kiss! Nevertheless, the word spread that the film has such content.

Did the Censors cut any scene? No. We went through the process smoothly. They didn’t ask for a cut and got an ‘A’ certificate.

How was it to work with Mallika Sherawat? She wasn’t fun to work with. It was her first major film. She was extremely anxious. It was a slow process. She needed more and more rehearsals and more and more takes. As a co-actor, it became extremely exhausting. You want your best take to be there and you also want your co-actor to do the same. It’s a team effort. When I did Khwaish, I was two-films-old. I knew the process and the pressures of being on a film set. Also at that time, we used to shoot on film. Each rejected take meant money wasted.

Salman Khan is back with Bigg Boss and this time he is hosting the OTT version. The first season was hosted by Karan Johar. The launch event took place on Friday, June 16.

Salman recently spoke about his expectations from the second season of Bigg Boss OTT and said, “I always look forward to Bigg Boss. First time on Bigg Boss OTT. I hope it is not too uncensored and unfiltered, and if it is, then I will control it myself. The show should run keeping in mind our culture and that’s why I am a part of Bigg Boss OTT. Actually, Karan (Johar) and Farah (Khan) were not available, that’s why I had to do Bigg Boss OTT.”

He added, “Main OTT par bhi aise kuch hone nahi dunga joh humare khilaf aur humare culture ke khilaf ho. Main nahi hone dunga (I will not allow anything against our culture on the show).”

When asked if there's any difference between TV and OTT platforms, he said, “I don’t find any difference. The type of OTT content you are talking about, I anyways don’t do that kind of stuff and I don’t like it. I think now there are guidelines for OTT, after which OTT has improved.”

He further said, “I have a friend who did not tell me he is participating in the show. I was shocked looking at him on the stage. His name is Niketan Madhok.”

Bigg Boss OTT season 2 will begin on June 17, 2023 on JioCinema.

In the year 2006, the Mika Singh and Rakhi Sawant controversy kick-started with the reality show star and actress taking legal action and registering an FIR against the ‘Sawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag’ singer for forcibly kissing her at his birthday party. The musician was charged under sections 354 for molestation and section 323 of assault as per the Indian Penal Code. Followed by the same, while the case has been in limbo for years, the Bombay High Court has finally quashed the case after Rakhi submitted an affidavit of consent.

Earlier this year, Rakhi Sawant, who was in news for her divorce with Adil Khan, surprised many by posing with Mika Singh outside a coffee shop. The actress-dancer insisted that they are now on cordial terms and was seen hugging it out, after which Mika moved the court to dismiss the charges against him and quash the chargesheet filed against him by the Mumbai police. Justices A S Gadkari and S G Dige observed that Rakhi Sawant in her affidavit, had maintained that she has ‘amicably resolved’ all her ‘differences and realised the entire dispute had arisen due to misunderstanding and misconception’ on their part. Followed by the same, the court has dismissed all the charges filed against the singer.

For the unversed, Mika Singh had invited Rakhi Sawant to attend his birthday party in 2006 and had warned his friends to refrain from smearing cake on his face. Rakhi, allegedly, did not pay heed to it and continued to smear the cake on Mika’s face. As per the singer, in order to ‘teach her a lesson’ he had forcibly kissed her. Many photos and videos from the party had later made to the media. The FIR against the singer was registered on June 11, 2006.

In a dramatic turn of events, the release of Om Raut’s highly anticipated mythological epic drama Adipurush was earlier stalled in Nepal by the Nepal Censor Board after they took objection to the dialogue which says that Goddess Sita was India’s daughter. According to the board, Sita was born in Nepal. But as per a latest update, the board has allowed the film to be screened in Nepal after the makers of Adipurush decided to remove the dialogue from the film, which is releasing worldwide tomorrow on June 16.
