Palmonas, the demi-fine jewellery startup, has announced the addition of Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor as its co-founder. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the industry, with Kapoor's involvement stemming from a serendipitous interaction on Instagram.

Founded by Pallavi Mohadikar and Dr Amol Patwari, the demi-fine jewellery brand uses surgical-grade stainless steel elegantly plated with 18k gold tone and sterling silver plated with gold vermeil which is a 2.5-micron thick layer of 18K gold. This unique combination not only sets it apart in the industry but also establishes a standard of affordable luxury accessible to a diverse audience. Celebrated for its exquisite designs, superior craftsmanship, and affordable prices, PALMONAS has gained widespread acclaim for its contemporary and minimalistic jewellery collections made from sterling silver, stainless steel, and gold vermeil.

Pallavi Mohadikar, Founder of Palmonas, shared the exciting journey of discovering Shraddha Kapoor's association with the brand. “It all started when we received several orders with the initials S. Kapoor, sparking excitement that it could be the renowned actress Shraddha Kapoor herself. Shraddha always interacts with her fans on her Instagram and she replied to a fan’s comment on her reel in which she was flaunting our jewellery, and mentioned it in an Instagram story. To our surprise and delight, it was indeed Shraddha, confirming that she's been a loyal user of our products," said Pallavi Mohadikar.

Shraddha Kapoor said, “I was searching for simple, good quality and reasonably priced jewellery on the internet because I was so fed up of my daily wear jewellery breaking or getting spoiled. I came across PALMONAS and was just blown away by their products. I went crazy purchasing so many pieces because I fell in love with their design sensibility as well and felt like I had so many options for my different moods and for different days. For me the product is everything and the fact that Pallavi and Amol have nailed that got me very charged up and excited to partner with them.”

Shraddha further reiterates, “Bringing demi-fine jewellery to India to make luxury jewellery available at a fraction of the price, without compromising on the quality. I felt was needed in this space without harming the environment.”

Dr Amol Patwari, founder of Palmonas, said, “We're honoured to have Shraddha Kapoor join our journey and deeply grateful for the continued support of all our customers. I am thankful for the continued support of customers and excited about our journey ahead. Together, we'll continue to create products that empower and inspire individuals to embrace their unique stories."

Hopefully, I will do more work, but it depends on what I feel. I want to do interesting roles, literally something which will make me leave home. I have been lucky to have played very unusual characters over the years, so I really need to be motivated and excited to go to a set.”

Talking about the film, she revealed, “Homi is an old dear friend. We went to school together. He is a quirky maker. When I heard the script, my first reaction was that I have to be part of this unusual film.”

The Ajay Devgn-starrer Shaitaan has been in the news ever since the makers launched the chilling trailer of the film on February 22. The advance booking opened on Sunday to a favourable response and it’s expected to fetch a good opening. On March 4, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted a U/A certificate to the makers. It has led to jubilation in the trade and exhibition sector as it would mean that not just adults but even family crowds can now throng theatres to see Shaitaan.

Shaitaan received 4 modifications from the Examining Committee (EC) of the CBFC. The EC asked the makers to add a voiceover for the disclaimer and another disclaimer stating 'the film does not support/endorse black magic'. They also told the makers to add a static message on liquor consumption. An abusive word was replaced with a scream. The film also got a visual cut - the makers were asked to reduce visuals of blood oozing from the mouth by 25%.

Shaitaan releases in cinemas on March 8. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 132 minutes.

Shaitaan is an official remake of the 2023 Gujarati super-hit film, Vash. Interestingly, the original film was given an adults-only certificate. A Gujarati film industry member said, “Vash was not just passed with an ‘A’ certificate, but it was also given 8 cuts. Shaitaan, on the other hand, gets U/A and also fewer cuts. Nevertheless, Vash was a super-hit but with a U/A certificate, imagine the business it could have done.”

Vash suffered dialogue cuts and also the scenes of bloodshed were deleted at multiple places. In all, the CBFC asked the makers to do 8 cuts and modifications.

An industry insider, however, noted, “It is possible that Shaitaan is less gory than Vash and hence, it hasn’t faced so many cuts. Only once we see the film can we make a comparison. Until then, it’s too early to conclude that the CBFC was biased towards the Bollywood remake.”

Nevertheless, this comes at a time when the Gujarati industry and even Gujarati cinema moviegoers are slamming the CBFC over the treatment meted out to the recently released period film, Kasoombo. Its director Vijaygiri Bava posted a video alleging the CBFC gave unfair cuts to his film. He revealed that scenes of shlokas were asked to be removed while no cut was given to the religious scenes of Alaudin Khilji’s character. The video, in which the director also claimed that he got the certificate a day before and that he was on the verge of crying, went viral on social media.

Katrina Kaif completed 20 years last year as a film actor. Ever since, she has emerged as one of the top actresses in the industry, despite the challenges she faced initially as a foreigner. In an in-depth interview with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day, Katrina Kaif opened up about her beginnings in the film industry.

Katrina arrived in Mumbai from London and soon got film and modelling offers. This was a time when she didn’t even know Hindi. Though she had not watched Hindi films, she decided to take a shot. She said in the interview, “My heart was always here, in films. I don’t know how.”

Hence, she decided to prep to become a heroine. She revealed that she would start her day at 6:00 am and until 12 noon, she would attend kathak classes. She said, “(The classes would be conducted in a) small, non-AC room by Guruji Veeru Krishnan—Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta were the seniors [in class].”

Katrina Kaif’s first film was Boom (2003) where her co-star was Jackie Shroff. He advised her to master the Devanagari script. She stated, “On the set, those days, often you’d be handed the dialogues, right before the shoot. I didn’t want to be in a position where I was wondering what to do. The base in Devnagari saved me. There is then nothing complex [in the learning of the language].”

Yet, she faced challenges and even criticism. Katrina Kaif admitted, “An instance, I remember, from a South Indian film, with Venkatesh [Malliswari, 2004]— I was shooting a song, and there was someone on the set, yelling, ‘This girl can’t dance.’ I’ve had people telling me to my face: ‘You will not make it. You won’t succeed.’ Somehow, I wasn’t pained. Never felt sensitive about it. For me, it was about taking in the info. It didn’t penetrate me to stop.”

She continued, “I would sit and cry, but believe in the process in the healthiest way; work a little harder to perfect my craft. Eventually, I worked with all those same people who said, ‘We won’t take you in our films!’”

Tamannaah Bhatia, known for her work in both Hindi and Southern industries, opened up about the relentless scrutiny celebrities face. Despite this awareness, she remains steadfast in her commitment to living authentically, unfazed by external judgments. Bhatia recently participated in a gathering at Deltin Royale in Goa.

Tamannaah Bhatia spoke about personal growth and focusing on that. She told India Today, “There is a saying that goes ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna’ (People would say something; their job itself is to speak). So that is going to happen and there's nothing much you can do about it. I am not so concerned with what other people do. That's the honest thing. I always focus on what I need to do and not what suits others because, at the end, it's your life. And as an audience, their responsibility is not to give unimportant news importance. If you don't give it importance, it doesn't exist.”

While juggling between South and Hindi film industries, Tamannaah Bhatia continues to portray her diverse capabilities. When asked how she manages to do it well, she added, “Well, I don't have to, because for me, both are places where I've almost spent all my growing-up years. I was born and brought up in Mumbai and I have worked a lot of my early life in the South, so both feel very much like home to me, and I feel like an artist. Anyway, our life is very, very vagabond. We are always travelling, so the place never matters. It's always just the projects and the people that make it all worth it.”

Author Amish Tripathi, known for his captivating blend of myth, history, and fantasy in his novels, has confirmed that the film rights to his bestselling book The Immortals of Meluha are no longer with Karan Johar owned-Dharma Productions.

In a recent interview with India Today, the renowned author stated, “The rights for The Immortals of Meluha have come back to me now. It was with Dharma earlier. We are in negotiation with another production house currently.” However, he refrained from disclosing the name of the new production house, citing the early stage of discussions.

Dharma Productions, led by filmmaker Karan Johar, had previously acquired the film rights to The Immortals of Meluha. Reports suggested Johar envisioned actors like Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra for the lead roles. However, the project did not materialise.

Veteran actor Prem Chopra, known for his iconic villainous roles in Bollywood films like Upkaar and Dostana, recently shared heartwarming memories of his late friend and co-star Rishi Kapoor. The duo continued to work together in films like Nagina, Naseeb, and Prem Granth.

Chopra and Kapoor shared a close bond, both on and off-screen. Their friendship began when Chopra delivered the now-famous dialogue "Prem naam hai mera... Prem Chopra" in Kapoor's debut film Bobby in 1973. This line, ironically, became synonymous with Chopra's name and launched him into stardom.

Recalling their early days, Chopra told ANI, "We used to be together all the time. He got all right, he got free from cancer, but then again got into a problem. He was a very nice actor and a jolly good chap. We used to discuss girls. We were having a lot of pranks with each other. There were so many funny things to do.”

Rishi Kapoor tragically passed away in 2020 after a battle with leukaemia. His passing left a void in the Indian film industry and in the hearts of his countless fans.

Their friendship transcended the silver screen, with the 88-year-old actor revealing a personal connection to the Kapoor family through his marriage to Uma Malhotra, sister-in-law to the legendary Raj Kapoor.

Speaking of the professional front, Prem Chopra was last seen in Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it also featured Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna. Despite getting polarised reviews, the film performed well at the box office.

Get ready to laugh out loud, Golmaal fans! Actor Shreyas Talpade, a member of the franchise's cast, has shared exciting news about the highly anticipated fifth instalment.

In a recent interview with News 18, Talpade revealed his hope for a Diwali 2025 release, stating, "I'm hoping that we do it next year and next Diwali is when we get to see Golmaal 5.” This update follows director Rohit Shetty's earlier announcement confirming the film's production within the next two years.

Expressing his deep connection to the franchise, Shreyas shared, "Golmaal is very close to our hearts... It was so much fun on the sets that we couldn't face each other and say our lines because we would burst out laughing.”

The 48-year-old actor also expressed his observation of a shift in the comedy film landscape, highlighting a lack of ensemble comedies like Golmaal and Housefull in recent times. He pointed out the enduring popularity of these earlier films and questioned the current trend.

He asserted, "There has been a shift in comedy. We recently haven't come up with something like Golmaal or Housefull... There was a phase in 2005 where multi-starrer comedy films were coming in one after the other... They were making films and not projects. They wanted to get the best people and not who was available. There used to be a soul in it.”

While fans eagerly await Golmaal 5, Talpade can be seen next in the Marathi film Hee Anokhi Gaath. He also has Welcome To The Jungle lined up for the future.

It was early Friday morning when Bollywood Hungama exclusively met Sparsh Shrivastava, Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel to talk about their upcoming flick, Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao and produced by superstar Aamir Khan. The trio were visibly excited as they opened up about the film and a lot more. There was also a child-like enthusiasm in all of them which made for a fun experience.

How did you all bag the film? I am sure it must have not been easy as a lot of people must have auditioned for these parts… Sparsh: Whoever you can think of auditioned, had for this role (smiles). As for how we bagged the role, I think we acted well (laughs)! We conveyed the honesty of what the character demands. The common factor between all three of us was that we were really excited about the role as we knew that it would move us in the right direction as an actor as well as a human being. Pratibha: Surprisingly, all three of us knew after the audition that we had gotten the part (Sparsh and Nitanshi nod). Sparsh: Romil Jain, the casting director, called us and offered the role. We read the four pages of the film’s plot. It was so well written that we knew that film bhi achchi hi banegi. In 30 minutes, I sent the audition video. Romil called and asked me ‘Kaunsi teri train chhutne waali hai ki tune aadhe ghante mein bhej diya?’! Then, there was a lull of two months. I was getting desperate and you can’t even ask as the casting people can get irritated. Finally, Romil called and told me that I had bagged the part. Then Kiran ma’am called us and she asked us the feedback about the script. We sat in this very room.

How is Kiran Rao on the sets? Is she a taskmaster? Pratibha: Ma’am knows what she wants and how the actors should deliver. Aur aise mein taskmaster hona zaroori hai. She was not that difficult as a taskmaster. She would very sweetly convey what needs to be done. Sparsh: Her level of human management is insane. This applies not just to the actors but also to the crew. She created a lovely environment that was very supportive of us actors. On her sets, sab shaant rehte hai, chillana nahin hota. As a result, our performances improved. Pratibha: I remember I was on a set and an associate director used to talk rudely to us. As a result, meri energy down ho jaati thi. On the contrary, everyone on the set of this film would talk so lovingly. Nitanshi: We were given liberty to explore the characters but at the same time, there were certain rules. It was unsaid but you know ki yeh cheez aise present karni hai. Ma’am would ask how we’d like to do the scene and accordingly, she’ll guide us.

Laapataa Ladies was filmed more than 2 years ago, in early 2022 and it’s releasing in March 2024. What was the waiting period like? Did you guys ever get frustrated? Pratibha: Sir, pucho mat! I’d call Nitanshi and she’d call me. We’d only discuss, ‘Bhai, film kab aayegi?’. Nitanshi: The film was going to be released in March 2023 when my board exams were going on. I still remember it was going to release a day before my Science exams. I was like ‘Kaash dates idhar udhar ho jaaye’. I wouldn’t have been able to see the film at that point as my crucial exams were going to be held. Fir thodi aur postpone hui. Aur postpone hote hote it’s now finally coming a year later (laughs). Sparsh: But I feel waiting for two years was worth it. Aamir sir himself got involved with the film’s editing. The way he understands the pulse of the audience is incredible. I used to tell myself, ‘It’s ok that the film is getting delayed. Jab bhi aaye, sahi time pe aaye’. Nitanshi: And this is indeed the best time. Pratibha: During the trailer preview, Aamir sir was with us. He just saw the trailer once and said ‘Do frames sahi nahin hai’! We were so stunned. We were like, ‘Sir aapne kaise aur kab notice kiya?’ (laughs).

What did Aamir Khan say about your performance in the film? Nitanshi: Jab bhi woh bolte hai, hamare aankhon mein aansoo aa jaate hai. Woh itna accha bolte hai. We recently attended the film’s screening in Bhopal. Suddenly, we were told that Aamir sir wanted to meet us. He met us and said, ‘Kya perform kiya hai tum teeno ne’. He then pointed to the scenes that he loved. Pratibha and I looked at each other and asked in unison, ‘Ro le?’ (laughs)! Everytime he sees the film, he has some positive feedback for us. After all, who isn’t a fan of Aamir sir? Sparsh: At times, I can’t believe (when he praises). Main toh blank ho jaata hoon. As actors, it boosts us that we have done a great job and now we have to grow even more. Pratibha: Sir has seen the film a hundred times and sau baar dekhne ke baad, it’s not necessary ki aap har baar ro lo. But since he’s so sensitive and unka dil itna saaf hai, everytime he (gets teary-eyed). I wonder ‘After seeing the film so many times, how does he talk with the same emotion?’.

Sparsh, you played a villager before in Jamtara but Laapataa Ladies is set in a different space and even genre. How did you prep for it? Sparsh: I am glad you said that. Since I come from an acting school, I could have played it like I did in Jamtara, which would have made my work easier. People wouldn’t even have minded either. However, I shaped my part according to the feedback I got after discussing the role with Kiran ma’am. I came across a Zomato delivery person, Sanjay. His eyes had a lot of innocence. Deepak ki aankhon mein bhi kaafi maasomiyat hai. So, I was inspired by him. Nevertheless, I have tried making it different (from my earlier works). That’s what gives me a kick – to challenge myself.

How was it shooting in trains and railway stations that too at a place like Yeola where no film has been shot? Sparsh: Shooting on a train is a challenge. The director needs to tell the motorman to start the train when going for a take. If there’s a retake, the train has to go back which will take half an hour. So every take is risky because a wrong take will lead to a waste of time and money. Also, having 300 extras in the crowd was another challenge. And while shooting on the train, if you need to use the toilet, you can’t. Pratibha: Hum sab ne itna control kiya hai ki kya batayein (laughs).

Sparsh, there’s a scene in the film (also shown in the trailer) where you fall from the bicycle. How many retakes did you give and were you hurt? Sparsh: (Pauses) That’s a story in itself. Thanks to that scene, I had to go through a ligament surgery. I have this habit. Main ‘cut’ nahin bolta. I like the take to keep going. While filming, the chain of the cycle got entangled and I fell with a thud. I didn’t want to say ‘Cut’. So, I started running and that was a mistake. That aggravated the injury, resulting in surgery. Nevertheless, the take came out quite well. AKP took care of the surgery and expenses, for which I am really grateful. Pratibha: But he fell from the cycle one more time (laughs). Sparsh: Yes. It required me to ride the cycle with Nitanshi sitting on the ‘danda’ (frame). I was scared as Nitanshi was just 14 and is very delicate. Hence, I asked Ranta (Pratibha) to rehearse with me. Pratibha: Kyunki main girungi toh chalega! Sparsh: Well, yeah, yeh girti toh mujhe koi dikkat nahin thi (laughs)! I cycled with her thrice and there was no problem. Then, when I cycled with Nitanshi, we fell!

Interestingly, Laapataa Ladies has already been shown to many people across the country before the release… Pratibha: I believe that when actors go for city visits, they present the trailer of their film and talk about it. We, on the other hand, would screen our film! It’s a big risk to do so but the makers had that confidence. Otherwise, in today’s times, anyone can say anything on social media and try to harm the film. But I am so glad that only the good responses are pouring in. We are getting a lot of love. So, I haven’t seen the dark side of promotions and social media in this case. Sparsh: With this film, dark side hai hi nahin. It’s also Aamir sir and Kiran ma’am’s brilliance ki unko pata hai ki unhone kya film banayi hai.

Nitanshi, I believe that you are a part of Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan… Nitanshi (smiles): Yes, it’s finally releasing on Eid.

Were you also a part of Vicky Donor (2012)? What was your role? Sparsh and Pratibha (shocked): Really? Nitanshi (laughs): I was one of the 50-60 babies shown in the film’s climax. I was the cutest kid (laughs)! Jokes apart, there were many cute kids in the film.

Sparsh, you have another film in March, Ae Watan Mere Watan, co-starring Sara Ali Khan… Sparsh: Yes. We should meet again to talk about it! It’s a message-oriented film about the first radio station started by Indians.

Is there a possibility of a sequel to Laapataa Ladies? Nitanshi and Pratibha (excited): Yes, for sure! Sparsh: I want that humein iss characters ke upar films banate rehna chahiye!

Would it be called Laapataa Gents? Sparsh (laughs): Yes, I like it. Nitanshi and Pratibha: No, no. Ladies hi rahegi. Nitanshi: I have already thought of the plot. Pratibha: Maine bhi socha hai. Sparsh: You should narrate your ideas to Kiran ma’am.

What will you guys do on March 1, the day Laapataa Ladies releases? Pratibha: I’ll take time for myself, jo bade bade starts karte hai! Main woh feel lena shuru kar rahi hoon. I am not going to be tense just because it’s the release day. Hence, I’ll meditate and tell myself, ‘Aal izz well’ (laughs)! Nitanshi: I have no plans. I’ll go with the flow. Pratibha: You know what, we should all pamper ourselves. We should go for breakfast or brunch. Sparsh: I think I am going to sleep till late. Pratibha: Toh fir seedha brunch pe mil. Nitanshi: Sounds like a plan. Sparsh (tells the writer in a lighter vein): Aap bhi aa jaana!

Another Bollywood wedding is on the cards. Following the marriage festivities of Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani, actress Taapsee Pannu is set to tie the knot with her longtime beau and badminton player, Mathias Boe.

Vicky Kaushal has come a long way since way Masaan. He enjoys a great fan following. However, he doesn't consider himself a star yet. The actor says that the stardom that Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have enjoyed is so different from today's times. He also said that the last time he could connect with someone was Hrithik Roshan.

Speaking to GQ India, he said, “I’ll tell you very frankly: Stardom is defined by the number of people who come to watch your film on day one, in a theatre—without being dependent on how good the trailer was, how fantastic the songs were, or how cool the poster was. They come to watch you. Irrespective of everything else. That’s the true definition of stardom. And honestly, that hasn’t happened to me yet. I still need to achieve that. I am not there yet.”

The actor continued, "I think the idea of classic stardom will be replaced by a different version. The kind of popularity that Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan must have seen is as different from what Shah Rukh Khan has experienced. It’s still huge but a different manifestation of the same glory. The last person I felt this way about was Hrithik Roshan. It was a phenomenon that hit everybody. Right now, there’s confusion among the younger lot. Because we see a star every week who trends and then nobody remembers them a few weeks later. For this generation, it will be much harder to attain the stardom of the past.”

On the work front, Vicky Kaushal will next star in Chhava with Rashmika Mandanna, Love & War with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor and Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam with Triptii Dimri.

Earlier in February 2024, Bollywood Hungama reported that Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar plan to take the third installment of Don on floors by August 2024. A week ago, Kiara Advani was officially announced as the leading lady of Don 3, presumably playing Roma. Now, the makers are planning to begin work on the project by next month with action training with experts from Thailand.

As per a report in Mid-Day, a source revealed, “Ranveer and Kiara will start their physical prep, beginning with agility training, from late March. Experts in martial arts from Thailand have been roped in.” Farhan Akhtar is keen on amping up the action quotient in the film.

The source added, “In the last few years, Hindi cinema has seen every type of stylized action— from War [2019] to Pathaan [2023] and Fighter. So, Farhan wants to make the action syntax fresh. He has had several meetings with action choreographers from India and other countries to discuss the possibilities. He wants the palette to be different from whatever the tentpole movies have offered in recent years.”

Earlier in February 2024, a source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is currently in the casting stage. It’s 100% true that the pre-production of Don 3 will commence next month. The team will then start shooting the film from August this year. There were surprising twists in the first two Don movies. Similarly, it is said that Don 3 too will have some surprises in store for the audience.”

Just a few days ago, we also reported the massive budget of the film. According to a source close to the project, Don 3 will be the most expensive Don film. “Don 1 and Don 2 with Shah Rukh Khan were made on decent budgets, but with Don 3, Farhan Akhtar aims to make a global film. The vision with Don 3 is not just to compete with action films of India, but also to go global on the scale front. Don 3 is Farhan's attempt to make a global action thriller and no one better than Ranveer Singh to spearhead the franchise in the new era,” the source said.

Don 3 will be made on a budget of Rs. 275 crore, not taking into account the print and publicity expenses. “The action has been visualized in a way that Don 3 stands tall against the Spy Universe. However, what separates Don 3 from other action films of India is the protagonist, who has shades of negative elements,” the source told us further.

The first film in the franchise Don, which released in 2006 and was produced by Excel Entertainment, was the remake of director Chandra Barot’s classic Don, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and was released in 1978. Don 2 was the sequel to the 2006 movie and it took the story of the dreaded Don forward.

Suhana Khan is on a roll. After debuting with The Archies (2023) last year, she has now taken another significant step. As per reports, she has bought a sprawling property in Alibaug, located near Mumbai, for a sum of more than Rs. 10 crores. Incidentally, this is the second time that she has acquired a property in the seaside town.

Talking about her recent purchase, an article in The Economic Times stated that Suhana’s property includes three structures spread over nearly 1.8 acres. These structures have a carpet area of 1,218 sp ft, 196 sp ft and 120 sq ft respectively. The deal was sealed on February 12 and the next day, she paid a stamp duty of Rs. 57 lakhs.

Previously, Suhana Khan had bought a 1.5-acre property with three houses. It cost her Rs. 12.91 crores for which she paid a stamp duty of Rs. 77.46 lakhs. The property was registered in her name on June 1, 2023. It is located in Thal village and at one point, it belonged to the descendants of veteran actor Durga Khote. As per The Economic Times article, both the properties bought by Suhana Khan are situated close to each other.

Alibaug is located around 100 km away from Mumbai and the Roll-on-Roll-off (RORO) service has shortened the distance between the two. Besides Suhana, her superstar father Shah Rukh Khan also owns a mansion in Alibaug.

Several other celebrities, industrialists and sportsmen, too, have an abode in this sleepy town. Juhi Chawla has owned a property for a long time which she has now converted into an organic farm. Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone, Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma, too, have made investments in Alibaug. In 2022, as per reports, cricketer Virat Kohli and his actress wife Anushka Sharma jointly bought an 8-acre land in Alibaug through two separate transactions for nearly Rs. 19.24 crores.

With only a few days to go for Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar starrer Operation Valentine, the actress gives us an interesting insight into the process of playing a radar officer. Talking about her process of preparation in detail, Manushi Chhillar says, "My prep for Operation Valentine included a lot of basics just to simply understand the structure of the Air Force, understand what a radar officer is supposed to do, basic things like body language, the tonality of your voice and how to give a certain command. These are the few things that I had to work on."

Sony Pictures International Productions, a studio that has also backed patriotic films like Major, made sure there was someone on the film's sets during the entire shoot, ensuring authenticity and accuracy in the character. "Fortunately, we had someone from the Indian Air Force team on set. So, I always had that guidance on set whenever we needed any extra information or wherever I was going away from how a normal radar officer would do a certain thing. So, it was learning a lot of basics. It was not just learning how to portray a radar officer, but also learning the things that happen in the Air Force, or what basic terms like an evacuation and the kind of planes that are flying. So, just understanding all of that was a completely new world. I am a DRDO kid, so obviously, I know things from the surface, but this was me going deep into it," she continues.

Operation Valentine is produced by Sony Pictures International Productions, Sandeep Mudda's Renaissance Pictures and co-produced by God Bless Entertainment (Vakil Khan) and Nandakumar Abbineni. Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, a seasoned ad-film maker and VFX aficionado, will be marking his directorial debut with this film. Written by Shakti Pratap Singh Hada, Aamir Khan and Siddharth Raj Kumar, the film will be released on 1st March 2024 in Telugu and Hindi.

In a conversation with the match host, Salman said, “I am glad that CCL continued for so many years. We had no idea that it would turn out like that when we did the first season. Back then the Mumbai team used to take it more as a fun activity but since the beginning south industry has always been more competitive. I think that also motivated the other teams to raise their level and perform better. I see all these boys working so hard, not just Mumbai Heroes but also other teams, and that makes me so proud of the film fraternity.”

When asked about how much he follows the game at home, Salman commented, “ For us, it is as exciting as IPL. Everyone at my home, especially my dad, watches it very seriously." ALSO READ: Salman Khan to kick off season 10 of Celebrity Cricket League in Sharjah: “Let the games begin”

Actor Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, has often been critical of her foreign learning of acting. The actress was in an acting school in the US, where they taught more about Hollywood. She once again reflected on those days and said that she learnt nothing in school and could have used that time to learn more about India.

 Speaking to The Week, Janhvi said, “I learnt nothing there. My main agenda, and I think the thrill in it for me was… for the first time to be in an environment where I wasn’t being identified as someone’s daughter. And I think that anonymity was so refreshing and that’s what I held on to the most.”

 “The format of the school that I studied over there was very deeply rooted in how Hollywood works, how their auditioning process is, what it’s like to meet casting agents,” she said.

Janhvi added, “I wish I could have used that time getting to know my people and my country and my language a little better because I am telling the stories of my people, not of them.”

“I just wish I did more things that would make me relate to my people and I did. Once I started shooting for Dhadak, I made a 180 and I realised that the only thing that matters is, that I want to tell stories of my country, I want to know the people of my country, I want to be able to speak to them, I want to be able to think like them, feel like them and sitting in LA, going to Malibu on the weekend isn’t going to cut it. It just makes you so detached and jaded,” Janhvi said.

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor will next star in Devara: Part 1, Ulajh, Mr and Mrs Mahi and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. ALSO READ: Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor reunite for second time for Shashank Khaitan's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari

The Tagore Centre at the Indian Embassy in Berlin paid tribute to the 30-year career of Manoj Bajpayee. This special event, organized and hosted by Trisha Sakhlecha, Director of the Tagore Centre, coincided with Bajpayee's presence in Berlin for the premiere of his latest film, The Fable, in the competitive Encounters section at the ongoing 74th Berlin Film Festival.

The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy and featuring Manoj Bajpayee in a leading role alongside Deepak Dobriyal, Priyanka Bose, and Tillotama Shome, made its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 16th, 2024. This event is not merely a milestone; it's a historic acknowledgement, marking only the second Indian film in three decades to compete at the Berlinale. It has quickly garnered acclaim from critics and admiration from audiences worldwide, highlighting Bajpayee's extraordinary talent and Reddy's exceptional storytelling prowess.

The celebration, marking dual anniversaries, 30 years of Manoj Bajpayee's distinguished career and the Tagore Centre's foundation – saw the Tagore Centre overwhelmed with fans from India, Germany, and around the world, leading to a situation where it was over packed and had to close accepting entries. The event was graced by the presence of several ambassadors from other countries, including H.E. Mr. Parvathaneni Harish, Ambassador of India to Germany, along with several government dignitaries.

The session commenced with opening remarks by the Indian ambassador, followed by an introduction and conversation initiated by acclaimed author & Director, Tagore Centre, Ms. Trisha Sakhlecha with the legendary Manoj Bajpayee. It delved into a comprehensive walkthrough of Manoj Bajpayee’s early life, tracing his journey from harboring dreams in a small village in Bihar, through his persistent struggle of over 15 years without a significant break, to his rise as a celebrated actor in Indian cinema. The discussion also highlighted his upcoming projects and his venture into production, thereby illuminating his multifaceted contribution to the film industry.

Adding to the event's richness, Manoj Bajpayee and Raam Reddy were on stage, accompanied by the rest of The Fable team, including Producer Pratap Reddy and Sunmin Park. A special segment dedicated to The Fable featured insightful dialogues led by Bajpayee and Reddy about the film’s creation, the challenges encountered, and the collective aspirations for its impact on a global audience. The Fable's selection for the Berlinale's competitive Encounters section not only showcased its artistic excellence but also marked a significant moment of pride and achievement for the entire team behind the film.

This segment offered fans and attendees a rare opportunity to pose their questions, delve deeper into Bajpayee's experiences, and gain insights into his illustrious career and personal journey. The open dialogue fostered a deeper connection between the actor and his audience, highlighting the profound impact of his work on cinema enthusiasts worldwide.

Reflecting on the significance of the event and its impact on cultural relations between India and Germany, Ms. Trisha Sakhlecha, Director of the Tagore Centre, shared her insights. “It was a joy to mark Manoj Bajpayee's remarkable 30-year journey as an actor, which has played a pivotal role not only in Indian cinema but also on the international stage. The overwhelmingly well received event reflects the Tagore Centre & Embassy of India, Berlin’s commitment to providing a platform for Indian cinema and storytelling specifically and Indian culture as a whole. With 300 registrations received within 48 hours of releasing the invitations and a significant waitlist thereafter, it's clear that Manoj Bajpayee’s enduring legacy and our shared passion for cinema continue to resonate across borders.”

Ambassador of India, H.E. Mr. Parvathaneni Harish, remarked, "I am extremely happy that the 74th edition of the Berlinale has 7 Indian films and 3 Berlinale Talents, and that the NFDC has brought in a large delegation from the Indian movie industry to participate in the European Film Market. Indian movies represent astonishing talent, immense dynamics and innovation, India is also an attractive investment location with various incentives for promotion of foreign films and for animation, post-production and visual effect services.I am confident that the Indian delegation at Berlinale with well-known actors such as Manoj Bajpayee and Allu Arjun and directors like Raam Reddy will make a strong impact."

Manoj Bajpayee himself shared, "This journey of 30 years has been nothing short of extraordinary. It's a reflection of the love and support I've received from my audience and the film fraternity. Being recognized in Berlin, alongside the premiere of The Fable, fills me with gratitude. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Trisha Sakhlecha, the Director of the Tagore Centre, Berlin, and H.E. Mr. Parvathaneni Harish, Ambassador of India to Germany, for this honor. My gratitude also goes out to all the attendees who made the event truly memorable. This moment is not just mine but belongs to every individual who has been a part of this incredible journey."

Raam Reddy, speaking about the occasion and collaboration, shared, "The love I felt at Tagore Centre was overwhelming. It was a beautiful celebration of both the illustrious and incomparable career of Manoj ji, as well as the premiere of our film The Fable. It was such an honour to share the stage and sit next to Manoj ji - who I have grown to share a very special bond with - while we chatted about the nearly magical anecdotes that went into the building of our film. The audience was spellbound by Manoj ji's aura, as was I. It was an evening I will not easily forget." ALSO READ: Manoj Bajpayee picks scripts instinctively: It has to be very well written.

Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2024 on Tuesday night in Mumbai. He won the said award for his performance in Atlee Kumar’s directorial, Jawan. During his speech, the actor confessed that it had been a while since he received Best Actor and he had started to believe he might not win now.

“Shukriya sari jury member ka jinhone mujhko best actor ke liye layak samjha aur bahut saal ho gaye mujhe best actor ka award nahin mila toh aisa lagne laga tha ki ab milega hi nahin. Mujhe bahut khushi hai. Mujhe awards bahut ache lagte hai …main thoda laalchi hoon, greedy hoon. (I thank the jury who considered me worthy of the Best Actor award. I have not received the Best Actor Award in a long time. It seemed as if I would not get it again…So I am extremely happy. I like awards. I am a bit greedy),” Shah Rukh Khan said in his speech, which left the audience in splits.

He saw Dunki director Vidhu Vinod Chopra in the audience and quipped, “Mere se zyada Vidhu Vinod Chopra ko acche lagte hai. Hum dono share kar lenge,” he said.

I promise I will keep working hard and entertain India and people who are living abroad as many years as I can. Whether it takes me to dance, to fall, to fly, to romance, to be evil, to be a bad guy, to be a good guy… Inshallah, I will keep working hard,” he said.

In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan made a smashing return with Pathaan, followed by Jawan and Dunki. The former two films ended up earning more than Rs. 1000 crore at the box office globally whereas Dunki was also a success with Rs. 212.42 crores at the Indian box office.
