With Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starring in War 2, the excitement is on another level with two superstars coming together to face off each other in YRF Spy Universe. Hrithik’s cameo in Tiger 3 also added to the excitement, which is being helmed by Ayan Mukerji. While the first schedule was wrapped in Spain in October 2023 with stunt doubles, the second schedule will likely be shot the same way in Abu Dhabi. Hrithik and Jr. NTR will begin their shoots in February 2024.

As per a report in Mid-Day, a source said, “NTR Jr is currently shooting for his 30th film, directed by Koratala Siva, and will then begin his first schedule for War 2. Aditya Chopra and Ayan have planned a massive action entry shot for him in the film. Shooting for the portions involving Hrithik and him will commence in February in Mumbai over a month-long schedule. The dramatic portions will be canned first, and will be followed with action sequences.”

The source added, “Like he did for the Spain leg, he is likely to use stunt doubles for the actors in Abu Dhabi too for the scenes that are to be filmed in the absence of the main cast members. Ayan shot high-octane car chase sequences in Spain over two weeks.”

Back in October 2023, Bollywood Hungama reported that Ayan Mukerji had completed the first schedule with stunt doubles. The source said, “It's a new technique of shooting for feature films. The action blocks of a lot of films in today's time are shot without the involvement of lead actors. Soon after, the faces of the body double are replaced using the body swap technology. The same was used for Pathaan as well for the action blocks shot in Dubai and Russia. Hrithik and NTR Jr. will start shooting for War only in December.”

The Spain schedule lasted for around 12 days, and Ayan was strict to get a perfect stunt double on board the film. “He auditioned over 50 talents each for both Hrithik and NTR Jr. before getting an ideal body type on board. The stunt double had multiple test shoots with Hrithik and NTR Jr. in Mumbai and Hyderabad before flying off to Spain,” the source added.

With Kiara Advani being the leading lady, the film is set to release on the Republic Day 2025 weekend. ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Hrithik Roshan’s scene in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 is directed by Ayan Mukerji; ENHANCES excitement for War 2  

The new episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 saw the reunion of Student of the Year stars Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. They have completed 11 years in the industry, married and have come a long way since their debut. Sidharth tied the knot with Kiara Advani earlier this year. Even though they did not make their relationship public until they tied the knot, the small gestures from them both at private parties and events definitely left some hints for Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan to get thinking about it.

Talking about married life, Sidharth Malhotra said, “I came to Bombay (Mumbai) about 16 years ago, and I lived by myself for the initial years with friends. I shared rooms and apartments, and now I have this one person I have dated, and obviously, there is so much love. I feel more responsible now; I feel like I have another person I have to take care of."

Further speaking about Kiara, Sidharth added, “She motivates me to work harder. What binds both of us together is that both of us are very family-oriented. Both of us have that upbringing. Even though she grew up in Mumbai, she is very disconnected. She is not so skewed by whatever is happening in the industry or behind the camera. I like that. I find that very refreshing; she could be in any profession. She handles her stardom in a way, possibly in a similar way that I like it. Even today, we like spending time together and meeting families. I never had a family in Bombay, but now I do thanks to her.”

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra got hitched on February 7 at Jaisalmer's Suryagarh Palace. During the rapid-fire, Karan asked Sidharth what he misses about his single life. He said, “Secretly meeting Kiara.” Karan simply responded with, “awwww!”

The fifth episode of Koffee With Karan 8 is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 8: Karan Johar reveals Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra were against Alia Bhatt’s casting in Student of the Year: “One of you said she is too young”

The new episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 saw the reunion of Student of the Year stars Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra with a cameo of Alia Bhatt. All three stars have completed 11 years in the industry, married and have come a long way since their debut. In the episode, Alia made a special appearance through a video where she talked about her special connection with Sidharth, whom she dated in the early years of her career. Turns out, her cat Edward was gifted to her by Sidharth.

Alia Bhatt sent a special message to her SOTY co-stars and said, “We made our debut together on the Koffee With Karan couch. An unforgettable debut because of my unforgettable mistake. But I had to be a part of this episode in some way. I'm glad that Koffee has asked me to give this byte because otherwise, I would have felt major FOMO.”

When asked about three facts about Sidharth, she added that he is a good singer, and even though he doesn’t like to party, he can be the best person to start a party with. She said, “Three facts about Sid that I would like to share - number 1, he's actually a really good singer. Number 2 is Sid doesn't party at all but he is one of the best people to get a party started. So this is the inherent Punjabi in him. He just knows how to get people going, he's really good. Also, he is really hilarious, he is the first person to fall asleep at his own birthday party. Sid takes a while to open up, so there is a distance, says hi, hello, very chivalrous, very well-mannered, that's generally how he is. The basic thing is that he has got very warm and kind eyes. That is also why he has such a massive fan following.”

She concluded by saying Sidharth gave her the “first love of her life” which is her cat Edward. She said, “I am very thankful to Sid because he has given me my first love of my life, Edward.”

Twinkle Khanna is known to voice her opinions in a candid and unapologetic manner and just being herself yet again, Mrs Funnybones decided to share her opinion referring to the first episode of Koffee With Karan 8 which featured Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The couple opened up about their love story for the first time and the latter confessed that she was meeting other men while she was dating Singh, which resulted in a massive social media uproar. Now coming in support of her is Akshay Kumar’s wife and former actress Twinkle Khanna.

For the unversed, Deepika Padukone had to experience a series of trolls over her comment on how she was ‘seeing other men’ prior to making it ‘exclusive’ with Ranveer Singh. The comments and uproar left Twinkle Khanna ‘baffled’ and expressing the same, the actress penned down her thoughts in a column on Times of India. The excerpts from the column read, “On Koffee with Karan, Deepika managed to outrage uncles, aunties, and an entire lot of India’s not-so-eligible bachelors by confessing that unlike her reel self, she did not swoon and fall at the feet of the first moustached suitor hanging around her. Instead, she had dated other men while also dating her future husband. The trolling she has received because of her admission is baffling. In fact, it has gone as far as students at Banaras Hindu University reportedly putting on a play where a girl plays Deepika and male students act as her past boyfriends."

“Her approach to finding a suitable partner though is rather logical. Suppose you want to buy a couch, wouldn’t you go to the store to figure out which one feels nice and bouncy, which has a comfortable backrest and which fabric doesn’t make your skin itch? But when it comes to the couch potato whom you have to snuggle against, you are expected to just pick one without testing out alternatives,” she added.

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, as confessed by the couple during the show, started seeing each other in 2012 and were expected to have got secretly engaged in 2015. However, the couple tied the knot in a traditional ceremony which was held in Italy in November 2018.

In the realms of Bollywood, few actor-director collaborations have achieved the iconic status that Govinda and David Dhawan enjoyed during the 80s and 90s. Their partnership gave birth to 17 films, most of which became hits. Despite their successful run, the duo faced a bitter fallout after their last collaboration in Partner (2007). However, recent developments indicate that the longstanding feud has finally come to an end, with Govinda and David Dhawan patching things up.

The Bollywood fraternity took notice when Govinda and David Dhawan were spotted interacting at filmmaker Ramesh Taurani's Diwali party, marking a significant step in their reconciliation. Addressing the buzz surrounding their renewed friendship, Govinda expressed gratitude for the continued support from fans who wish to see them working together again. He told Bombay Times, “I am glad people still feel that we should work together. Yeh unka pyaar hai [This is their love]. Our patch-up had already happened.”

The Diwali gathering was not just a chance encounter; it marked their second meeting. Describing the festive celebration, Govinda emphasized their focus on positive aspects and shared happy memories rather than delving into the past rift. He stated, “This was our second meeting. It was a Diwali bash where we ate good food and had a great time. We don't believe in raking up the past. Why mull over it? That's not necessary. Let bygones be bygones. Filmy talk wasn't a priority, but when that happened,  we only spoke about the happy memories and those were plenty.”

Govinda also revealed that the Diwali party hosted by Ramesh Taurani was the first film party he attended in nearly two decades. Reflecting on the changing dynamics of Bollywood gatherings, he criticized the trend of exclusive group parties and emphasized his preference for a more inclusive social environment. Govinda stated, “Ramesh Taurani is a good person. Over the years, Bollywood parties have become these group parties, and if you don't belong to a certain group (camp), you aren't invited. If you are not seen at these parties, it is assumed that you aren't social, which is wrong. I am not anti-social at all, and I don't believe in groups.” He underlined the misconception that not attending such events implies being anti-social, emphasizing his belief in a more open and diverse social scene.

Shah Rukh Khan rocked the show in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan. Hence, all eyes are on Dunki, his third and final release of the year. The excitement is tremendous due to SRK’s present track record and his first collaboration with the blockbuster filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. The teaser was released on SRK’s birthday on November 2 and ever since, fans have been eagerly waiting for the next asset. And if sources are to be believed, the wait is about to end very soon.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The first song of Dunki will be out this week. If all goes well, the song will drop on Monday, November 20. The date is significant as it’s the birthday of Rajkumar Hirani. It’ll be interesting as the earlier asset was launched on SRK’s birthday. Hence, launching the song on the much-loved filmmaker’s birthday will be apt.”

The source continued, “There might be a delay of a few days but the plan is on to unveil the first song of Dunki this week.”

When asked what the song is called, another source said, “It is apparently called ‘Loot Toot’.”

Bollywood Hungama was one of the first ones to report that two teasers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki were passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a ‘U’ certificate. On November 3, we reported that the CBFC had passed four more teasers of the film. Three of them were granted a U/A certificate while one was passed with a ‘U’ certificate. It now remains to be seen when these teasers will be out and whether a trailer for Dunki will also be released.

Besides Shah Rukh Khan, Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani. It arrives in cinemas on December 21, 2023. It’ll clash with Prabhas-starrer Salaar, which arrives in cinemas on December 22.

The Diwali release Tiger 3 had a superb opening, bringing cheer to the industry. The actors of the film – Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi – came out to promote the film on Friday, November 17. They interacted with fans at a screening of the film held at a multiplex in Mumbai. Salman Khan was in his element as he raised laughs with his statements.

Salman began by saying, “Bahut acchi baat hai ki aap sab ko yeh film acchi lagi. It’s also heartening that you are all here and will watch the film (after this event). I was wondering ‘Itne saare log (hai yahaan). Fir theatres mein kaun hai?’. Who’s paying and going for the film then?”

He then mentioned the ICC Cricket World Cup, “It’s amazing because even the World Cup is going on. India dhada dhad maare jaa raha tha. India has won every game. And this is when we arrived with Tiger 3. Hence, our collections are very good. Inshallah, India will win the finals and then, everyone will be in cinemas (to watch Tiger 3).”

He added, “Cricket is anyway a religion in this country. Is there anyone who doesn’t watch cricket? Except me? (smiles)!”

Apart from the World Cup, Tiger 3 also braved the Diwali holiday. The norm is to release the film a day after Diwali. Tiger 3, however, came on the day of the Festival of Lights and shocked the industry as it collected Rs. 44.50 crores. On this, Salman Khan joked, “It released on the Diwali day and yet collected Rs. 43 crores. Koi ghar pe family ke saath baith ke pooja paath kar raha tha ki nahin kar raha tha?”

Besides Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, Tiger 3 also starred Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. It was directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF).

It all started when the host quizzed Katrina on Salman’s debut film. While Katrina tried to guess the answer, Salman said, “She watched a film after a long time and laughed a lot. Later, I was called and I knew the soundtrack of the film. She told me ‘This boy, he is trying to copy you. This little boy with big eyes trying to copy you. And he manages it well’.”

Khan further added, “Kaunsi picture ki baat kar rahi hai ye? Maine Pyar Kiya.”

Salman continued, “Doosra vakya batata hu aapko. Inko (Katrina) humne Anda Apna Apna dikhaya. Ekdam blank reaction. Uskey 6 saal ke baad yeh dekh kar hassi hai, jab inko Hindi samajh mein aai.”

He said, “Ek Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya mein dialogue hai, ‘Itni badi ghodi ho gayi hai. Samajh mai nahi aata’. Cut to four years, mujey kehti hai, ‘You called me a ghodi!”

The fans were delighted to hear these anecdotes and were left wanting for more.

On the latest episode of Koffee With Karan season 8, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt set the couch on fire! Alia was her candid best as she talked about several aspects of her life, career and embracing motherhood. During the conversation, Alia talked about how she gets frustrated when asked about balancing her career now that she is a mother and married.

Karan Johar pointed out that female actors are often asked about balancing careers when their male counterparts aren’t when they get married or welcome their child. In response, Alia Bhatt shared, “See, the balancing career irritates the life out of me.”

While Alia acknowledged that the majority were nice and kind in their questions, she recalled the amount of scrutiny she faced when she announced her pregnancy last year. She recalled how Kareena Kapoor Khan was promoting Laal Singh Chaddha and she was asked about Alia embracing motherhood at the peak of her career. Alia said, “What irritated me was from what lens are you asking this question that ‘Oh I'm a woman in a so to speak the peak of my career.’ I'm not saying this. You are saying this. I intend to act till I am 95. As long as I can walk.”

On the latest episode of Koffee With Karan season 8, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt set the couch on fire! During the conversation, Alia talked about becoming a mother to her daughter Raha, who turned one recently. She recalled how she once broke down after she saw her daughter’s face was nearly visible in paparazzi photos. She has not shared any pictures on social media revealing her face.

Alia recalled that at that time she was shooting in Kashmir for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and it was the first time she had stepped out for work after giving birth. She said, “It takes really long for your body to bounce back. I was not sleeping at night, I was feeding, and rushing in between shoots. So, I remember calling Ranbir and saying ‘Listen, I’m finding it very difficult’. So, he pushed his work and said, ‘Do not worry. I’m going to come pick her up. I’m going to take her. I’ve pushed my work. She’ll be with me’.”

When Ranbir heard about Alia’s condition, he came to pick up Raha which relaxed Alia a bit. But there was separation anxiety and other feelings involved which was triggering her. She said, “So, that guilt carried on and one and a half days later when I traveled back, I saw a photo where the side of her face was visible and I just broke down.”

“Honestly, we’re proud of our baby. But it’s just like there were too many emotions put together and I’m so protective of my loved ones that I felt like, ‘Oh God! I don’t want that conversation'. But I realized that I was just exhausted and overwhelmed at that time,” she concluded.

This time on Koffee With Karan season 8, two reigning queens of Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt were ready to set the couch on fire! During the conversation, Alia Bhatt talked about the perception the internet has about Ranbir Kapoor being a ‘toxic’ husband. In recent times, the actress has shared several anecdotes including one about him asking her to wipe her lipstick off as her natural lips look good and it being taken as Ranbir being a controlling husband. The actress said that he is genuinely the opposite of what people think of him.

"I've been accused of talking too much about Ranbir," Alia said on Koffee With Karan. "Anything you say about him becomes like an explosion online," KJo said, and added, "Is it because Ranbir is not on social media?" Kareena Kapoor Khan agreed and so did Alia.

She continued, "I think so. I have a very candid way of speaking and even when I'm talking about something in my life, I like to imitate the person I'm talking about, I like to give anecdotes, I like to make it personal and I feel like a lot of the things just get picked out of context. Which happened recently with a video and stuff like that. My team told me yeh kuch out of hand jaa raha hain (this is getting out of hand) and I said OK theek hai, jaane do because genuinely people say things all the time.”

"But then I realized there are serious articles talking about how he's a toxic man and this and that and I'm like, are we serious? There are many issues in the world to give more attention toward than something I said in a completely different context. And I feel bad if people misunderstand it because he's genuinely the opposite of that," said Alia.

“There is a line I feel is being crossed but you can't say anything about it, people can say what they want about you. In fact, Ranbir says this, 'Alia the audience owns you, they can say what the hell they want about you. As long as your movies are doing well, please do not complain sitting in your apartment in Bandra.' I was like, ya that's right, kuch mat bolo (don't say anything)," Alia Bhatt added.

The photo received a lot of attention from many and gossip mills continued to wonder if something is brewing between the two. However, Badshah seems to have decided to respond to these rumours and ended it by taking to Instagram and clarifying on the same. He posted a note on his story saying, “Dear Internet, Sorry to disappoint you yet again but jaisa aap soch rahe hain waisa nahin hai.”

Eklavya featured an enviable cast featuring Saif Ali Khan, his real-life mother Sharmila Tagore - also playing his reel life mother, Vidya Balan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, among others and revolved around the life of a royal family and its skeletons in the closet. The film also marked the collaboration of Amitabh Bachchan and filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the latter confessed that the megastar has actually tolerated him and as a token of gratitude, he gifted him a Rolls Royce.

In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra recalled shooting for the Saif Ali Khan starrer saying, “When we were making Eklavya, Amitabh Bachchan came to the sets with one suitcase for a schedule of two months. I asked, ‘Amit, you travel very light?’ He said, ‘No, Jaya told me ‘more than one week you cannot stand Vinod’.” He went on to appreciate the actor’s dedication and enthusiasm as he completed the 10 days of shoot schedule. He added,  “But because he did not leave and completed the whole film, I gifted him a Rolls Royce worth Rs 4.5 crore, because he tolerated me and did a great work in the film.”

However, in 2019, a report revealed that Amitabh Bachchan had sold the car to a certain Ruhman Khan for approximately Rs. 3.5 crores. However, in the said report it was being said that the megastar had cherished this gift from Chopra and was seen even spotted driving it around in the city.
