In the glamorous world of celebrity fashion, it's not uncommon for A-listers to cross paths in more ways than one. One fascinating phenomenon that captures the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide is the moment when two celebrities are spotted wearing the same outfit. it becomes a delightful spectacle for fans and fashion enthusiasts. Recently, the spotlight turned to the stunning actresses Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson, who were spotted in the same outfit, proving that great style knows no boundaries.

SAMANTHA RUTH PRABHU

Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently made the elegant decision to choose a vibrant red saree, which was made by her very creative best friend, Krésha Bajaj. The fully embroidered bodice of the pre-stitched modern saree had a distinctive mesh-laden, oh-so-sultry neckline with long sleeves. Flowery and glittery embroidery was used to make the lovely ensemble. All the focus was drawn to the thigh-high side slit, though. Additionally, the gifted Kushi actor chose to accessorise her colourful attire with delicate diamond stud earrings by going the minimalist approach. Along with her well-groomed eyebrows, she went for a modest yet elegant make-up look, adding light eyeshadow, blush to her cheeks, highlighter strategically placed, and a hint of red lipstick to her lips. She seems even more beautiful in this outfit. Her face was wonderfully framed by her softly curled hair, on the other hand.

AMY JACKSON

Amy Jackson recently donned the identical vivid red saree designed by fashion designer Krésha Bajaj, which is shimmering and glittering. This stylish pre-stitched saree was adorned with intricate embroidery and threadwork inspired by flowers and nature. A silky netted high neckline and back neck blouse gave the lovely combination extra sultriness. The costume was raised above all others by the side slit. In addition, the gifted Robot 2.0 actor opted to accessorise her ultra-chic attire with standout accessories. The diva did this with dangling and layered diamond earrings with a matching ring. She also chose to go for a beyond-sexy makeup look with well-shaped eyebrows, pink eyeshadow, and black eyeliner on fleek. The well-contoured look also had subtly blushed cheeks, highlighter at all the right places, and glossy light red colored lip oil. On the other hand, her hair was styled into a sleek bun that made sure her sincerely beautiful face was visible. We are obsessed with the diva’s overall look.

INDIAN POLICE FORCE is the story of cops hunting down a terrorist. On Delhi Police Raising Day, the National Capital is rocked by a series of blasts. Kabir Malik (Sidharth Malhotra), Vikram Bakshi (Vivek Oberoi), Rana (Nikitin Dheer) and others of Special Police Unit of Delhi Police are given the charge of the case. They are joined by Tara Shetty (Shilpa Shetty Kundra), Gujarat ATS chief. The mastermind they are trying to find is none other than Zarar aka Haider (Mayyank Taandon). He’s living as a paying guest at the house of a mechanic Saeed (Lalit Parimoo), who’s also a terrorist. Saeed’s mother and daughter Nafeesa (Vaidehi Parshurami) have no idea about their involvement. Nafeesa assumes Zarar is a perfume seller and falls in love with him. Zarar, meanwhile, is planning his next operation and getting the handlers out of Delhi. When one of the handlers calls home, Kabir’s team finds out their location. They attack the safe house. All the handlers die, except one but Zarar escapes. Meanwhile, Kabir’s team loses a brave police officer. Kabir is transferred. Zarar, on the other hand, reaches Jaipur to execute another round of terror attack. What happens next forms the rest of the series.

Sandeep Saket and Anusha Nandkumar’s story is well-researched. Sandeep Saket and Anusha Nandkumar’s screenplay, too, is interesting. A few scenes stand out, more so for the action. Sandeep Saket, Anusha Nandkumar, Ayush Trivedi, Vidhi Ghodgaonkar and Sanchit Bedre’s dialogues are normal but a few of them are sharp.

Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash’s direction is decent. The directors have tried their best to enhance the mass quotient and even scale of the show. All the locations are depicted in a grand fashion as if this is a big-screen film. They ensure that the viewers are interested and invested in the cat and mouse chase between the cops and the dreaded terrorist spanning several cities. A few scenes stand out like Vikram taking a live bomb in his hand, the madness at Firoza Nagar, Jaideep Bansal (Mukesh Rishi) advising Kabir and Vikram to break the rules, the death of a cop, the police getting into a fight with Goldie Rodrigues (Sunil Rodrigues) and his men in Goa etc. The last two episodes are the best of the lot.

On the flipside, the series doesn’t present anything that we have not seen before in a Rohit Shetty venture. There are no twists and turns or cameo appearances from any character of the cop universe. The action scenes also give a been-there-done-that feeling. Moreover, the principal characters don’t have particularly entertaining characteristics.

Sidharth Malhotra looks convincing as an action hero. Vivek Oberoi looks dashing and does well. Sadly, his screen time is limited. Shilpa Shetty Kundra, too, has less screen time but she compensates for it with her acts and stunts. Mayyank Taandon is fine as the antagonist. Vaidehi Parshurami is the best performer of the show. Her character is well-written, and she does justice to it. Shruti Panwar (Unaiza) leaves a mark. Mukesh Rishi, Niktin Dheer, Lalit Parimoo, Rituraj Singh (Rafeeq), Karanvir Malhotra (Sikku), Rakshit Wahi (Moin) and Purnendu Bhattacharya (Home Minister) lend able support. Isha Talwar (Rashmi) is lovely in a cameo. Shweta Tiwari (Shruti) is great in the breakdown scene but is forgotten after a point. Mrinal Kulkarni (Ruksana; Kabir’s mother) is strictly okay. Mohak Meet (Shadab), Sunil Rodrigues, Akashdeep Sabir (Mudassar; Zarar’s father), Deepak Qazir (Khan Sahab) and Harsh Sharma (Salamat) are fair in small roles. Sharad Kelkar (Jagtap) is apt.

There are 3 songs in the film. The ‘IPF Theme’ is very catchy. ‘Bairiya Re’ and ‘Koi Aayat’ are forgettable but are shot nicely by Sneha Shetty Kohli. Amar Mohile’s background score tries to enhance the tension and mass appeal.

Girish Kant and Raza Hussain Mehta’s cinematography is spectacular. The aerial shots give a nice touch. Swapnil Bhalerao and Madhur Madhavan’s production design is appropriate. Navin Shetty, Mehek Navin Shetty and Laxman Gollar’s costumes are realistic and also appealing. Sunil Rodrigues’ action and Rohit Shetty’s action design are devoid of gore and blood. NY VFXWaala’s VFX is average. Bunty Nagi’s editing is pacy.

On the whole, INDIAN POLICE FORCE has the trademark Rohit Shetty stamp all over. Due to the abundance of action and association of Rohit Shetty, it is bound to garner a huge viewership.

Rating: 3.5 stars

Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon were in their element at the trailer launch of their upcoming love story, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. They were joined by producer Dinesh Vijan and director duo Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah. Dinesh Vijan, too, entertained the attendees with his quotes.

Dinesh Vijan said in his opening speech, “With Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023), you guys proved that this genre is still relevant. This film is very special as my career started with Love Aaj Kal (2009) and Cocktail (2012). That kind of defined us. I really liked the genre but we didn’t have a concept. Finally, Amit and Aradhana and Sharada (Sharada Karki Jalota) developed this (concept). I realized that it’s a crazy thought but an interesting thought. Today, I saw the trailer and I realized that (for a film like this), you need an electrifying chemistry. I have seen the film in the mix. In the last ten years, you haven’t seen chemistry like this! This I can guarantee you.”

Kriti Sanon, who plays the robot quipped, “Main night shoot karke aayi hoon. I haven’t slept a wink. I am operating with 30% battery. So, if I lag, please don’t mind.”

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya releases in cinemas on February 9.

Actor Pranutan Bahl--granddaughter of legendary Indian actor Nutan is set to star in her maiden Hollywood feature Coco & Nut, opposite American actor-filmmaker Rahsaan Noor. Billed as a spirit-lifting romance, the charming love story is directed by Rahsaan Noor. This marks his first film since the critically acclaimed 2018 film Bengali Beauty, the highest-grossing Bengali language movie of all time which captured hearts and was also the first to release in the USA, UK, and China.

"Feeling worthless, an ambitious young woman (Pranutan) fighting to save her marriage gets a pick me up from her know-it-all college sweetheart (Rahsaan)," the official logline of Coco & Nut reads.

Production for the film will be in English and Hindi and will take place entirely in Chicago from June to July this year, with a diverse cast and crew drawn from both the United States and India. After films like Salman Khan backed Notebook (2019) and comedy-drama Helmet (2022), the upcoming film marks Pranutan Bahl’s International debut and promises to be a significant milestone in her career.

Pranutan hails from a distinguished lineage of actors, with her father being the renowned Mohnish Bahl and her grandmother being the legendary Nutan. Actor Kajol is her aunt.  "I've always wanted to do a romantic drama," Pranutan expressed. "Coco & Nut is a beautiful story in which my character, Nut, journeys through a transformative phase in her life. I’m so grateful that I make my international debut with a movie like that."

The screenplay for the film was inspired by a text message Rahsaan Noor received from his college sweetheart five years after she broke his heart and deals with the intricate relationship dynamics faced by Millennials and Gen Z; exploring the trend of delayed marriage and its impact on modern love.

"I'm really grateful to be getting another opportunity to make a film," Rahsaan Noor said. "That too on a subject that is not only personal to me but also a subject that I've found so many people around the world relate to -- when looking for your life partner, how do you really know if you've found the one?”

“I grew up like so many other second-generation South Asian Americans -- with a love for our movies from the motherland. That's why we're making Coco & Nut in English and Hindi. It's a privilege to be working with Pranutan on this film. From the moment I saw her in Notebook, I was taken by her talent and knew that I had to work with her one day," the actor-filmmaker added.

Written by Rahsaan Noor and Raghav Murali, with additional screenplay credited to Priyamvada Singh, the film is produced by Hamilton Moving Pictures' Chad Shields, alongside Ranjith Rajasekharan and Raghav Murali.

"Coco & Nut is a deeply moving film that captures the universal themes of love, resilience, and cultural identity," stated Shields. "It's a timely exploration of both the immigrant experience and younger generations' evolving relationship dynamics. The picture will prove to be a poignant reflection of our modern, interconnected world."

Co-financing the project are Noor’s Ziryab Films, Henry Leong’s Macuverse, and Executive Producers Mashruk Zahid and Lasaly Changkachith. The film is slated to release in 2025.

Last month, the screen sharing issues over Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki and Prabhas-starrer Salaar became the talk of the town. Bollywood Hungama was the first to report the viral news that Salaar makers had decided to pull their film from PVR Inox and Miraj properties in the South after they accused the multiplex chains of ‘unfair trade practice’. A few hours later, thanks to the impact of the article, all parties renegotiated the deal. It was expected that show-sharing would take place. Alas, it didn’t happen. Instead, exhibitors were asked to play either of the two films. As a result, some opted for Dunki while others decided to play Salaar. However, what unfolded in the Telugu industry over the last few days is much more shocking than Salaar vs Dunki screen sharing fight.

On Monday, the exhibition sector across the country got a shock when the famous Prasads Multiplex, Hyderabad cancelled nearly sold-out shows of Hanuman and replaced them with that of Mahesh Babu-starrer Guntur Kaaram. The social media was abuzz with pictures of the famous theatre’s booking page. Earlier, Hanuman had 15 shows and later, the 1:00 pm, 1:30 pm and 7:50 pm shows of Hanuman were cancelled. Meanwhile, Guntur Kaaram was earlier playing in 7 shows. Later on, it got four more shows. A similar scenario was also reported in other centres in Telangana.

An exhibition source told us, “It’s unheard of to see a show, which is nearly house full, being replaced by shows of a film which is not doing as well. This is unacceptable and it would have been understandable if Guntur Kaaram had a huge demand too. However, it hasn’t performed as per expectations while shows of Hanuman are full everywhere. The demand for it is crazy and yet, it’s getting a raw deal.”

Another exhibition insider commented, “Theatres have the power to reduce or increase shows. But this happens as per the demand and supply usually. In an ideal scenario, Hanuman’s shows should have increased while that of Guntur Kaaram should have reduced since the latter is a crowd-puller. But in this scenario, the opposite has happened.”

On Saturday, January 13, a complaint was filed with the Telugu Film Producers Council (TFPC) by Hanuman’s makers alleging unfair theatre practices. TFPC released a statement stating that Mythri Movies Distributors LLP (the distributor) had made an agreement with some theatres in Telangana to screen Hanuman from January 12. But some theatres did not honour the agreement and failed to show the film. Hence, the distributor and producer, Niranjan Reddy, filed a complaint with the TFPC.

The statement remarked that “The theatres did not screen the movie Hanuman as per the agreement. The distributors and producers suffered huge losses. So these theatres must immediately start showing the movie Hanuman and bear the loss so far”. It also said that “Such moves affect the entire Telugu film industry which runs based on faith, morality and justice”.

Hanuman and Guntur Kaaram were not the only Telugu releases during the Sankranthi festival week. Venkatesh-starrer Saindhav released on January 13 while Nagarjuna-starrer Naa Saami Ranga arrived in cinemas on January 14. Hanuman, nevertheless, has emerged as the dark horse as it collected more than Rs. 50 crores in four days and is set for a huge run. Even in Hindi, it has performed beyond expectations.

Meanwhile, On Tuesday, January 16, Prasads Multiplex is playing just 6 shows of Hanuman while Guntur Kaaram has been provided with 8 shows. Interestingly, on Wednesday, January 17, the situation will be reversed as the modern mythological entertainer will have as many as 10 shows while the Trivikram-directorial has been allotted only 6 shows.

Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi is receiving rave reviews. The film, released on January 12, 2024, is being hailed by critics and audiences. In a recent conversation, Raghavan reflected on working with Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi and how the Hindi-speaking audience has been eagerly anticipating his work.

Sriram Raghavan admits that the massive success of the Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead with Vijay Sethupathi as the villain amplified the anticipation surrounding Sethupathi’s next release. Raghavan recognized his popularity and cited the positive reception of his previous work Farzi for his eccentric character portrayal. He admitted that Jawan exposed Sethupathi’s reach to a wider audience, he felt that the actor could have had a more impactful and memorable role in the film. Speaking to India Today, Sriram Raghavan said, “As soon as it came, people really enjoyed him. Of course, with Jawan, more audiences got to see him because it had Shah Rukh Khan. But I wish he had a much more memorable role in Jawan. With this film, his first Hindi outing, I think he's gotten what he deserves.”

Talking about how rooted Sethupathi is about his stardom, Sriram added, “He has come up the hard way. So, he's grateful and the best part is that he's always in the quest to learn.”

Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi has an array of line-up including Maharaja, and Gandhi Talks among others.

The much-awaited trailer of the aerial action drama Fighter is set to arrive in a few hours. The trailer of Siddharth Anand's directorial is eagerly looked up to by the masses. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor in the lead roles, the film promises action patriotic fervour, and a cinematic experience. For the film, Anand had erected a huge set in Mumbai to shoot a mega-action sequence.

For one of the most crucial sequences in the movie, Siddharth Anand dedicated seven intense days with Hrithik Roshan to capture a pivotal scene in the film, drawing inspiration from a real Indian Air Force airstrike. The director meticulously recreated the drama at Mumbai's SRPF Grounds, skillfully designed by art director Rajat Poddarr. The intricate aerial choreography, a result of collaboration between action directors Oh Se Yeong and Parvez Shaikh, brought authenticity to Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania's leadership in the airstrike.

According to Mid-day, a source revealed, “Since their starting point was a real-life air strike, the art department took references from pictures of the real location, and then made creative changes. They had to depict the air strike taking place over a snow-clad town that houses the enemy facility. So, they built the set of a town over five acres of land at the SRPF ground, and for the close-up shots, used a particular chemical, which when mixed with water, gives the impression of snow. For the wide-angle shots, the production design team used salt to depict snow.”

The source added, “The entire set took a month to build, after which Siddharth and the actor filmed the scene in April 2023. The sequence sees Hrithik’s character lead the mission as his team and he fly Mirage 2000s over the terrorist camp and demolish it.”

Directed by Siddharth Anand and presented by Viacom18 Studios in association with Marflix Pictures, Fighter also stars Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi and Sanjeeda Sheikh in pivotal roles.

Agastya Nanda, son of Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Nikhil Nanda and grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, made his acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s musical The Archies. He stepped into the limelight with his debut as Archie Andrews alongside newcomers Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Dot, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Mendra. Mihir Ahuja had prior experience in OTT space. Released on Netflix on December 7, 2023, the film had mixed reactions from the audience and critics. Agastya, acknowledging the criticism, has expressed his thoughts on the same.

In an interview with The Film Companion, Agastya Nanda reacted to the reactions saying, “Honestly, I didn’t know how to deal with it. When you are not prepped in this area, you don’t know that many people have many opinions. And that’s okay, you must have your opinion but I didn’t know what was going on. Some people hated it, some people liked it, some people were indifferent to it and that’s ok.”

He believes that The Archies didn’t work on some levels and he is okay with that. It was his first project and he plans to work hard in the future. “On some levels, it didn’t work and that’s ok. It’s my first try and I am going to work hard and get back up, try for the second and if that doesn’t work then try for the third and then the fourth but to get to that realization took me some time,” said the actor.

Reflecting on the opportunity, he added, “I made six lovely friends, I got brilliant exposure. I got to showcase myself on a huge platform. I was grateful, it's ok, people would kill for this opportunity. I shouldn’t sit here and feel low about it. I gave it my best and I’ll keep giving it my best.”

When spoken about his uncle Abhishek Bachchan, who had also faced similar criticism in his early years, Agastya was informed that his ‘mama’ would put up posters of negative reviews on his wall. But, Agastya said that it was a bit too dark for him. “I think everyone has to do it. I don’t put up negative things because why keep reminding yourself of it. Be aware of it, don’t be ignorant. I did learn. I just watched the film and see what’s happening and I just watched where I can improve, like any person in any field would do. Obviously, when you look at it I was like ‘Oh God what was I doing there, why did I say’ but I am not putting anything up on my wall. It’s a bit too dark,” he said.

The Archies, helmed by Zoya Akhtar, was produced by Tiger Baby. ALSO READ: Agastya Nanda makes Instagram debut; see first post

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has heaped praises on Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Sharing a series of photos from their recent meet, the director called Vanga the ‘most misunderstood’, ‘judged’ and ‘reviled’ filmmaker at the moment.

 Along with the pictures, Anurag penned a long note for the Animal director which read, "Had a great evening with @sandeepreddy.vanga . The most misunderstood, judged and reviled Filmaker at the moment. To me he is the most honest, vulnerable and a lovely human being. And I really don't give a f""" what any one thinks of him or his film. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered everything I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice. Thank you for being patient and being yourself. 40'days since I first saw ANIMAL and 22 days since I saw it the second time. The biggest game changer of Hindi cinema in the longest time and a film whose impact (good or bad) which can't be denied. And the filmmaker who takes it all on his chin. Great evening spent with him."

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has penned a long note to praise Vikrant Massey starrer 12th Fail. Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the film was released last year and is considered one of the best movies of 2023. It also became a sleeper hit.

 Anurag Kashyap wrote on Instagram, “Probably the best mainstream film I’ve seen in 2023 @vidhuvinodchoprafilms at the age of 71 has crafted a masterpiece out of a simple story of an adamant man wanting to be more than what life gives him. He goes and takes what he wants and how.”

“What amazed me about the film is how he breaks all conventions of mainstream and has scenes done in simple long shots.. the crowd scenes of Mukherji nagar which feels like the camera just happened to watch the story unfold without disturbing the atmosphere . It just felt like we were fly on the wall witnessing the film unfold . The sparse background score, something that mainstream cinema always shows from. The faith the filmmaker has in himself and his actors and his storytelling that he doesn’t use the BGM to manipulate the audience or the emotions,” Kashyap added.

The filmmaker further said, “A filmmaker at the peak of his storytelling and at this age . Means I have hope too. A new benchmark has been set by VVC for filmmakers like me who have been feeling a bit lost. Kudos to the whole team who I don’t know and all the actors. Especially @vikrantmassey @medhashankr @anshumaan_pushkar @anantvjoshi and the cinematographer Ranga , the production designer and the music directors and writers . I have met Manoj and I’ve read the book but I never could have seen it how VVC saw it. It’s on HotStar and a must watch. I was unlucky to find time to see it in cinemas but saw it on my personal screen but do give this film a shot . Love you VVc for inspiring me . May you never really grow up and always be the troublesome brat that you are even at 71 . Just big big hug and love to you.”

Filmmaker Vasan Bala is directing Alia Bhatt in an upcoming movie Jigra. The film is her co-production, under her banner Eternal Sunshine Productions, with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Bala recently revealed the reason behind joining forces with Karan on this particular project.

In a recent interview with The Week, Vasan Bala said, “I was neither inspired nor begrudged by Johar’s films, as we are different types of storytellers. Somen Mishra asked me to meet Karan and when I did, it was refreshing to see someone who didn’t come with an approach that he’s a big producer and I could either take his script or leave it. He asked me what I liked to make. I was convinced this would be an equal creative collaboration, he’s backed me and he’s letting me run with it.”

In the same interview, Karan Johar revealed that once Bala told him that he fell asleep while watching Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. “Selecting Vasan was exciting for us because he hasn’t really loved my previous work as a director. He told me he fell asleep watching Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. I’m not here for everyone to love everything I do. But I loved his honesty.”

With Jigra, Alia Bhatt collaborates with Karan Johar for the 12th time. She made her debut with Student of the Year under Karan's direction and banner. The film is set to release in theatres on September 27, 2024. ALSO READ: Karan Johar sizzles on the runway for Nandita Mahtani, turning heads in quirky sunglasses

The makers of Don 3 are busy with the casting of the film’s new characters which will be headlined by Ranveer Singh in the iconic role. Last year, the actor took on the role in Farhan Akhtar’s directorial after Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have played the same role in different eras, respectively. In an exciting piece of news, Emraan Hashmi might play the role of antagonist in the movie.

It all began after Emraan Hashmi was spotted at Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment office. The actor arrived in his new premium car as the paparazzi teased him about his potential casting. He only greeted the paparazzi before heading inside the office.

In a statement in August 2023, Farhan Akhtar said, “In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatregoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way. From Don's sardonic wit to his cool but menacing fury, Shah Rukh embodied his persona. As writer & director, I had a great time creating not one but two, Don films with Shah Rukh and both experiences remain very close to my heart.”

Farhan Akhtar further said that he is ready to take the legacy forward with an actor whose talent and versatility he admires. Farhan said, “The time has now come to take the legacy of Don forward and joining us in this new interpretation will be an actor whose talent and versatility I have long admired. We hope that you will show him the love you have so graciously and generously shown to Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. A new era of Don begins in 2025.”

Speaking to Deadline in December 2023, Ranveer Singh said, “I’m hoping to make Don my own and give it my spin, my interpretation. It is the handing over of the baton of one of the most loved and revered franchises of Hindi cinema. The significance of that is not lost on me. When the announcement was made, as expected, it came with its share of skepticism. But throughout the history of cinema, this has happened. Even as recently as perhaps when the Bond franchise changed hands and they announced Daniel Craig as the new Bond, it came with its fair share of scepticism. So, this is only natural.”

The 1978 version of Don was headlined by Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role as Don and Vijay. The film was written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar and helmed by Chandra Barot. Farhan Akhtar then directed by Don in 2007 with Shah Rukh Khan in the double role and a sequel in 2011. Talking about the third installment, Ranveer said “Taking the baton forward in this franchise and continuing the legacy of two of our greatest superstars – the significance of that is not lost on me. So, I will give it my best shot and you will see the very best of me and I will put my best foot forward for Don undoubtedly.”

Koffee With Karan 8 hosted Zeenat Aman and Neetu Kapoor as the guests on the show! In the new episode, they made several revelations brimming with nostalgia and discussed the untold stories from Bollywood’s golden era. Neetu Kapoor talked about how late Rishi Kapoor was a strict boyfriend in her early dating years and would not let her party.

During their conversation, Neetu said that she had never experienced the wild side of the industry as he never really partied. She revealed, "We had a fabulous time, especially with Yash ji (Chopra). We would party in the night, play antakshari, and play dumb charades. So, that was like one picnic. That was really-really fun.”

However, due to the strictness of her mother and her boyfriend, she never really experienced the crazy parties. “But I had this Rishi Kapoor as my boyfriend. So, I never partied-partied. Because he was always like, yeh nahi karna, woh nahi karna, ghar aajao (don't do this, don't do that, come home). So, I’ve never seen that wild side of partying in those days,” she added.

Recalling his cancer treatment in New York, Neetu told Karan, “So Karan for me, I don't like to remember the sad part. I like to remember the good part of our relationship and of our time in New York. So New York was really sad, but we had the best year, I had the best year of my life.”

She added, "Because you know Chintu Ji (Rishi Kapoor) is a very loving person. He had a lot of love in him. But there was something he never really showed his love. He always kept his distance and bullying people, not show his love. Especially with me and my children, he was like a big thing. Respect and all and with that he lost out on a lot with his children. He was never a friend to them."

She said, “But that year, he opened up. He showed love, went towards me also he was so lovely. We had the best time.”

Talking about Instagram, Zeenat Aman said, “It wasn't me, it was my kids. It was my younger son and his partner.” She added, “I think Instagram is such a wonderful platform if used correctly. It gives you a voice, gives you a space to express yourself from your perspective and not from a third or a fourth person's definition of you. I was overwhelmed with the love and the affection, completely overwhelmed.”

During the rapid-fire segment, Karan asked, “If a biopic were to be made on you, which actor from the current lot should play you?” To which, Zeenat Aman replied, “Priyanka Chopra.”

When asked to name an actress who could reprise her role from Satyam Shivam Sundaram in the remake, Zeenat Aman named Deepika Padukone.

Zeenat Aman appeared in a series of successful films during the 1970s, including Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), Ajnabee (1974), Choti Si Baat (1976), Don (1978), and The Great Gambler (1979).

Pinkie Roshan penned a longer note for Hrithik along with a collage of his childhood photo and a still from Fighter. She wrote, “These 2 photos represent the same pure soul with a golden heart. From 5 months to 50, your journey may be shared across celluloid and social media to millions but those who know and love you, we know that you’ve always been larger than life. You have spent 50 years on this Earth, bringing joy to so many yet I have known you from the moment you were a heartbeat and the immense happiness you radiated was felt exclusively and purely within me. Many nights I’d sleep with my heartbeat singing its lullaby and soothing yours as it grew within my spirit.”

She continued, “When you arrived, you belonged to the world and you chose to spread joy, make people laugh and dance and feel alive. You’ve stood up for the downtrodden, empathised with everyone from all walks of life and respect women in a manner that not only sets an example to your wonderful growing boys but puts other men to shame. Your entire life has been about serving others and helping them reach their true potential, touch nirvana and go beyond the limits they’ve put on themselves. How? Through your example because you practice what you preach and it’s not because of any reason other than you want everyone to be happy and celebrate life, just as you do.”

She added, “Your happiness means the world to me and be it 5 months or 50, you’ll always be my son, who I love unconditionally. You make me proud and inspire me at the same time. It’s because of you that I smile with such energy every day. Keep soaring, pierce the sky and go farther than you dare to dream because at 50, the universe is yours for the taking. Happy Birthday and all my love.”

One of the most beloved coming-of-age dramas, Yaariyan, which also marked the Hindi debut of Rakul Preet Singh, is completing 10 years on January 10, 2024. Showcasing the life of college students, hostel life, rigorous inter-school competitions and full of youthful life, the multi-starrer film, which marked the debut of Divya Khosla Kumar as the director, received a lot of love from audiences.

In an interview given by Divya to Bollywood Hungama years ago, the actress turned filmmaker opened up about how fraternity members, including Salman Khan, were left enchanted by the beauty of India and the secret was ‘virgin locations’!

Revealing about choosing India over foreign locales, Divya Khosla Kumar told Bollywood Hungama, “As an Indian filmmaker, I always believe in bringing out the best from my country. When I sat down and researched on the location I want to shoot in, I wanted to discover virgin locations and show to the people of India that we have as much beauty in our country as any other. They don’t have to just run away to Switzerland or for that matter any other country to shoot a film.”

Adding about discovering a unique location situated in the North-Eastern state of Sikkim, Divya continued, “So, I discovered this large chain in the north of Sikkim, which was extremely difficult to reach very bad infrastructure, but if you reach there, it will almost like heaven. It was so beautiful.”

Divya also revealed how filmmakers were left impressed by its beauty and were keen on knowing the location. “A lot of filmmakers are coming up to me and asking me which places and where have you shot? Like for example, yesterday Salman Khan was asking me, ‘Which place is this?’ So, you know there's been so many compliments pouring in. I think that scrutiny, hard work and the detailing to find the right location has worked.”

Yaariyan also starred, Himansh Kohli, Dev Sharma, Vedish, Evelyn Sharma, Serah Singh, Shreyas Pardiwalla, among others and was produced under the banner T-Series.
