She calls me the pillar of her strength. The very fact that I have still been in Mumbai conveys that I am here not only as her pillar of strength but as her real kavach (armour) as well. Her happiness is my happiness and vice versa. She has every right to choose her partner and the other details of her wedding.”

Shatrughan Sinha says ‘Khamosh’ to people spreading rumours

Furthermore, he condemned the gossip-mongers spreading these rumours and shared, “Those who are coming out with fake news are just sounding very frustrated with this joyous occasion as they are spreading nothing but lies. I would like to caution them with my signature dialogue: Khamosh, it's none of your business. Mind only your business."

Anil Kapoor was in a great mood at the press conference of Bigg Boss OTT 3 and entertained journalists with his replies and antics. As expected, the veteran star was compared with superstar Salman Khan who has been the face of Bigg Boss and the host of several of its seasons for many years. At the very beginning, Anil Kapoor made it clear as he said, “Salman ko koi replace nahin kar sakta.” Later, he once again talked about Salman.

During the question and answer round with the media, Anil Kapoor was asked whether he asked for tips from Salman Khan. Anil replied, “Main sunta hoon sabki par karta hoon apni. I listen to everybody but I do what I feel is right.”

He continued, “But Salman Khan was more than happy than I was when I informed him that I am doing Bigg Boss OTT. He was quite excited for me. He told me, ‘Dekh, sabko sambhalna. Koi nahin sambhlega toh tu theek kar dena. Waise bhi tu mere se young lagta hai! Aur agar kuch gadbad ho gayi, toh mujhe bol dena. Hum dono milkar theek kar denge!”

Sometime later, the anchor of the evening, Munawar Faruqui, told the media that only one question would be entertained. Anil Kapoor, however, loved the questions by the media and encouraged them to ask more. He remarked, “Abhi toh garam ho raha hai yeh press conference. Pehle toh scripted chal raha tha. Abhi toh unscripted hai. Aur jo unscripted mein maza hai, woh scripted mein nahin hai!” The audience broke into applause as Anil added, “Aaj jo puchna hai, puchiye mujhse! I’ll decide when the last question will be asked. Host hoon main.”

One more journalist also asked about Salman. When Anil asked her to introduce herself, she replied that her name was Upma. At this, Anil excitedly stated, “I love upma. It’s a snack that is sold at reasonable prices. (During my struggling days), I used to have idli, dosa and if I had more money, I would eat upma.” He then replied to her question, “I said at the very start that he’s irreplaceable. So am I (smiles)!”

Finally, a journalist asked Anil whether he was scared of being trolled, especially by Salman Khan. Anil said, “Kar do (troll). Kya fark padta hai?”

He emphasized, “Trolling is a part of life now. It’s a part of social media. You have to face it. I have taken risks and done unconventional work. I have worked with some of the biggest artists in the world. Imagine the pressure on me. But I worked dedicatedly and with full honesty. Thankfully, most of them got a positive response. Some of them didn’t work. But I moved on. Aise hi nahin baitha hoon yahaan 45 saal se. Kuch toh theek kiya hai maine!”

The youthful entertainer, Ishq Vishk Rebound, is all set to release this week and its makers completed its Censor process in advance. It received the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) way back on June 10. The CBFC passed the rom-com with a U/A certificate with two modifications.

Firstly, the Examining Committee of the CBFC asked the makers to blur the middle finger visuals. Secondly, a disclaimer on alcohol consumption was displayed at the bottom of the screen in all liquor-related scenes.

Interestingly, the length of Ishq Vishk Rebound, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 106 minutes. In other words, its run time is just 1 hour 46 minutes long. This makes it the shortest significant Hindi film in a long time.

There have been some films in recent times that had a duration of or less than 110 minutes like Raksha Bandhan (2022; 110 minutes), Dhokha - Round D Corner (2022; 108 minutes), Kuttey (2023; 108 minutes) etc. Zwigato (2023) was one minute less, with a run time of 105 minutes. But it had a small release. As per records, the last film that had a major release and was shorter than Ishq Vishk Rebound was the Sunny Singh-starrer Jai Mummy Di (2020). It was released in around 750-800 screens and was 103 minutes long.

A multiplex official remarked, “It’s common for Hollywood films to be 1 hour 40 or 50 minutes long. But we were pleasantly surprised to learn about its run time. It’s rare for a Hindi film to be this short. Now, we can accommodate 6 or even 7 shows of Ishq Vishk Rebound in a screen per day, if required.”

Ishq Vishk Rebound stars Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, Jibraan Khan and Naila Grrewal. Backed by Ramesh Taurani’s Tips Films, it is directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari. It will be released on June 21.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is digging deep into gambling, and money laundering, amid Bollywood glamour. Their investigation centers on a Mumbai-based event management firm suspected of recruiting celebrities to promote the Fairplay betting app, a subsidiary of the controversial Mahadev betting app. Big names like Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez, and rapper Badshah have come under scrutiny for their alleged involvement. The ED has already recorded statements from Badshah and the managers of Dutt and Fernandez.

As reported by Times Now, this investigation stems from a complaint filed by Viacom18 Media Pvt. Limited, which triggered an FIR by the Maharashtra Cyber Police in Mumbai. Before raiding the event management firm, the ED reportedly obtained a statement from a key individual there. The raids yielded a treasure trove of documents, including contracts with celebrities to promote Fairplay, details on payment methods and transactions, and other crucial company information. Reports suggest Fernandez may have received a hefty sum from a Dubai-based entity, Trim General Trading LLC, for endorsing the app.

The report further states that Badshah's alleged involvement points towards a Melbourne-based company, Lyukos Group FZF. Documents provided by the rapper to authorities reveal Lyukos Group partnered with two Mumbai talent management firms to promote the betting app. Dutt, on the other hand, is suspected of receiving Rs. 25 lakhs from a Singaporean gaming company to promote the app on social media.

The ED is examining all seized documents and the statements from Badshah and the managers. These statements were forwarded by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell for further investigation.

This isn't the first time Bollywood has brushed shoulders with the Mahadev app controversy. Last year, celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, and Kapil Sharma were questioned by the ED regarding their connections to the app. ALSO READ: Badshah HEARTBROKEN after Dallas concert cut short due to production issues: “This isn't fair to the fans who spend their hard-earned money to purchase that ticket”

Kartik Aaryan’s trainer REACTS to accusations Pandey firmly refuted these accusations in a recent interview with the Indian Express. He explained that such doubts cast a shadow not only on the actor but also on the trainer's methods. He stated, "Whoever feels this transformation is not natural, I am ready to pay from my own pocket to take the NADA (National Anti-Doping Agency) test. When you cast doubt on an actor, you also start doubting the coach, that, ‘Oh this is a result of artificial supplement, this is because of dope and injections.’ It is said by only those who themselves can’t achieve it.”

Pandey, a former national-level boxer himself, is well-versed in anti-doping regulations and their importance. He stressed the long-term health risks associated with performance-enhancing drugs and his commitment to safe, sustainable training methods. "I have been a national boxer myself and I know after every match, we are tested. We know if we take something, we might win a match, but it will affect us long term. I would never recommend anyone to take artificial supplements and build a body," Pandey stated.

Johar, a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, filed a petition in the Bombay High Court seeking an urgent injunction against the film's release, since it is slated to hit theatres this week, on June 14.

In an official statement which was reported by India Today, the suit read, "These trailers and posters have caused and are continuing to cause irreparable loss and damage to the goodwill and reputation of Johar. Further, such a release of the film with the title containing his brand name 'Karan Johar,' together or in parts, will cause irreparable loss and damage to the goodwill and reputation which he has gained after investing huge amounts of time, effort, and money,"

Known for his unconventional cinema, Anurag Kashyap was one of the first filmmakers to explore the world of OTT with Netflix India’s first original web-series Sacred Games starring Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The filmmaker recently discussed the evolution of the platform wherein he asserted that the medium has undergone extensive changes and is on the verge of turning into TV. He explained that it is being controlled by algorithm which is preventing many creators from exploring and experimenting with their content.

In an interaction with Radio Nasha, Anurag Kashyap told, “I think we are past the golden time of OTT. Now OTT is starting to turn into TV. Long-format storytelling has always had potential but now it is not dictated by quality, it is dictated by algorithm. And that’s where the problem is.” He compared it with TV and added, “TRPs started deciding what kind of television should be made. When shows were being on Doordarshan, they had a certain quality. Until the time they need new subscribers, they will experiment with new things. When they have exhausted that, then it turns into TV. This is a cycle.”

Further, mentioning that he has been here for around 32 years, Anurag continued, “Now the same multiplexes will play the same film on four screens. They are not supporting the films they were initially doing. When the studios came in, they were also making new kind of films, but then they also started catering to the same formula.”

He opened up about the time he created Sacred Games with Vikramaditya Motwane and said, “Me and Vikram made the first Netflix India show and that kind of a sensibility and support, we will not get anymore. Because that sensibility has changed. People who have no experience in filmmaking are now running the department of shows. And they have come from television. So their sensibility is television. Any creative person will tell you that when you are dealing with them, sometimes it’s like hitting your head against a wall.”

“I don’t think that the kind of long format I want to make, I will get to make it. And they are also scared. Maximum City is one of the examples. An approved green lit show, that got dropped with no official communication. They only want to do what their algorithm dictates,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, currently, Anurag Kashyap will be seen as a grey character in the upcoming Disney+ Hotstar web-series Bad Cop featuring Gulshan Devaiah in a dual role along with an ensemble cast.

Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan continue to share one of the closest bonds in Bollywood. It is a known fact that the Bollywood megastar started off from scratch in his film career and recently opening up about their struggling days, Farah Khan reminisced about the memories associated with the Kundan Shah film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. She revealed that the movie makers did not have a high budget for the Shah Rukh Khan, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy, and Deepak Tijori starrer and hence they even went on to cast regular people from Goa.

In an extensive interaction with Radio Nasha, Farah Khan revealed, “The budget was very low. Shah Rukh was paid Rs 25,000 for that movie. I was the highest paid person on that movie, let me tell you. I was paid Rs 5,000 per song, and there were six songs. Just because of that, I was paid Rs 30,000. We couldn’t even afford an assistant.”  She continued, “That full song ‘Aana Mere Pyar Ko’, we cast regular people from Goa,” and added that because of they were regular people they did not understand the cues. She stated that SRK resolved the problem by pinching them as a cue to stand up and do their bit.

Further elaborating on their camaraderie, Farah also mentioned that she did not have a great impression of the megastar after she saw him in an interview.  “We started the shoot in 1991, and I was also new. We were in Goa, and I’d only read an interview of Shah Rukh in which he sounded very brash and arrogant. I was very scared. I remember what he was wearing and doing when we first met; Kundan Shah introduced us,” she recalled. However, their similarities led to a beautiful friendship between the two. “Sometimes, you instantly hit it off with somebody. You feel like you’re friends from school. That’s what it was like with Shah Rukh. We had the same interests, we’d read the same books, we had the same sense of humour,” she asserted.

Farah Khan made her directorial debut with Shah Rukh Khan as her leading man in Main Hoon Na in 2004. She went on to work with him in films like Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year.

Legendary actress Meena Kumari's legacy continues to spark conversation. Sharmin Segal, star of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series Heeramandi, drew criticism for her performance despite the show's overall success. In a previous interview, Sharmin cited Meena Kumari's portrayal of "nothingness" in the classic film Pakeezah as an inspiration for her character in Heeramandi. However, Meena Kumari's stepson, Tajdar Amrohi, has expressed strong disagreement with this comparison.

Speaking to Zoom TV, Amrohi asserted, “Zameen aasman ka fark hai between ‘Heeramandi’ and Pakeezah (There is a difference of earth and sky between them). Don’t compare the two. Nobody can make Pakeezah again. Neither Meena Kumari nor Kamal Amrohi can ever be born again.”

He further added, “I don't want to say much about this since Bhansali is a big fan of my father Kamal Amrohi. In every film of his, Bhansali tries to take shots in a very similar way as my father did. Once, he had come to Kamalistan Studio, he asked where my Dad used to sit, where my Dad walked. Out of great respect, he touched the ground where my Dad sat. That was 15 years ago, and after that I never met him again. I must say here that each one of of us has an individual taste. This all is my opinion. There might be people who have liked Heeramandi more than Pakeezah.”

He concluded by saying, “I don't know Sharmin. But no, I can't relate to her statement on nothingness.” For the unversed, Sharmin, in an interview with ETimes stated that, “Meena Kumari was one of my inspirations. I tried to bring Meena Kumari’s nothingness from Pakeezah into my character in Heeramandi.”

Coming to the Netflix show, it is set against the backdrop of India's independence struggle, and explores the lives of courtesans in Heera Mandi, Lahore, during the pre-partition era. The series boasts a star-studded cast including Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, and Aditi Rao Hydari, and has been renewed for a second season.

The official Instagram page of Mirzapur shared a poster which showcases the key characters of the show, albeit in caricatures. It also showcases the death of some of them which has happened over the course of the series along with Ali Fazal’s Guddu Bhaiyya taking over the thrown, Shweta Tripathi as Golu, standing by him, along with representations of Divyenndu Sharma as Munna, Pankaj Tripathi as Akhandanand Tripathi, Kulbhushan Kharbanda as Satyanand Tripathi, Vijay Varma, among others.

They also captioned this photo saying, “Ab #MS3W poochna nahi, dhoondna hai. Toh ho jaiye shuru”.

Fans of the show have expressed their excitement by making their own guesses about the release date.

Kamal Haasan fans are in for a treat as his much-awaited film Indian 2 will arrive in cinemas on July 12. The excitement for the film is tremendous as the earlier part, released in 1996, was a huge success and has strong recall value. It was one of the first South films to be dubbed in Hindi, which was titled Hindustani. This Hindi version, too, found a lot of takers. As a result, both Indian 2 and its Hindi dubbed version Hindustani 2 have chances to work big time. But this is not the only Kamal Haasan film to be released in this period. Kalki 2898 AD, which releases on June 28, also sees the veteran star in a crucial role. It has come to light that Kamal Haasan ensured that there was a significant gap between the two films.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Kamal Haasan is aware that both Indian 2 and Kalki 2898 AD are huge films and he was clear that both films shouldn’t come on the same day or a week apart. He got the producers of both the films together and asked them to make sure that there’s a window between the two films.”

The source continued, “Kalki 2898 AD was earlier supposed to hit screens on May 9. Due to the elections, the makers decided to push the release ahead. After toying with the idea of putting out the film on May 31, they finally settled for June 28. Indian 2 makers, meanwhile, were eying the June 14 slot initially and on May 19, they put all the speculations to rest by announcing that the sequel will release on July 12.”

Kalki 2898 AD also stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan. Directed by Nag Ashwin, it is an action entertainer set in the future. Last month, the makers held a grand event in Hyderabad where they introduced the fifth important character of the film – a robotic car named Bujji. On May 31, they released a two-episode animated series on Amazon Prime Video named Bujji & Bhairava, which serves as a prelude to Kalki 2898 AD.

Indian 2 aka Hindustani 2, meanwhile, Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal and Rakul Preet Singh. A grand event was held last week in Chennai where the film’s audio was launched. Kamal’s daughter Shruti Haasan performed on her father’s hit songs and it was a highlight of the evening.

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif made her first public appearance since sparking pregnancy rumours. She landed in Mumbai on Saturday night. She was reportedly in London, spending time with family and husband Vicky Kaushal.

In videos shared by paparazzi on Instagram, Katrina was seen making a stylish exit from the airport in an all-black outfit, consisting of a loose black tee, comfy black pants, and a cape. She completed her look with loose hair and sunglasses, smiling and waving for the cameras as she got into her car.

Rumours about Katrina's pregnancy spread after a video of her and Vicky appeared on social media. In the video taken from across the street, the pair looked to be walking together in London. Katrina's enormous cloak piqued fans' interest, with many guessing that the star is pregnant and has fled the country to avoid media scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Katrina's representative agency, Raindrop, has stated that the pregnancy allegations are "unconfirmed". "Request all media houses to immediately stop this unconfirmed reporting and speculation," Katrina's agency stated in a statement.

On the work front, Katrina was last seen in Merry Christmas, which came out earlier this year. Farhan Akhtar will helm the actress's next film, Jee Le Zaraa. The film will also include Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra. While the film was announced in 2021, it has been postponed for quite some time.

The Annu Kapoor-starrer Hamare Baarah has faced several controversies, even before the trailer was out. The Annu Kapoor-starrer was all set to release on June 7 but on June 5, the Bombay High Court put a stay order on its release until June 14. But on June 7, the High Court agreed to clear the release after the makers agreed to delete dialogues that were deemed objectionable by the petitioner.

An industry insider commented, “This is unprecedented or maybe it's a rare instance wherein a film passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has been asked by the Court for more cuts. Usually, when anyone went to Court to stall the release of the film, the petition usually was not entertained, citing that the film has been cleared by the Censor Board.”

The Court, however, as per Live Law, did maintain that “We are of the view that if an individual such as in this Petition is permitted to stall the release of movies which have been duly certified by the CBFC it would encourage holding film producers to ransom.”

Bollywood Hungama has got hold of the cut lists approved by the CBFC on June 7. It mentions three cuts in the film. At the very beginning of the film, the slogan 'Allah hu Akbar' was muted. The other dialogues that were censored were 'Shauhar mazaaz-e-khuda hota hai aur mazaaz-e-khuda ke khilaaf jaana kufra hai; kufra ki sahaaa maut hai' and 'Aurat salwar ke naade ki tarah honi chahiye; jab tak andar rahegi, behtar rahegi'.

The petition, filed by Azhar Basha Tamboli, claimed that the film was in complete contravention of the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, 1952. It further stated that the film depicts that the lives of married Muslim women have no independent rights as individuals in society owing to a verse in the Quran. According to the petitioner, the makers have indulged in a misreading of the said verse.

Hamare Baarah was earlier titled Hum Do Hamare Baarah and the film's Revising Committee (RC) suggested that the title should be changed and that it should be 'women-centric'. They were told to insert a disclaimer and to give references to CBFC about dialogues on 'women marriage' in the Quran and Islamic Culture.

Further, the CBFC asked to replace the words 'Bazaaru Aurat' and to replace 'Islam' with 'mazhab'. The dialogue uttered by a Maulana in the film, 'Apni Kheti Karo .... Jyada Se Jyada Musalmaan Paida Karo', was deleted. Another controversial dialogue that was deleted was 'Gaay Ka Moot Pilayenge Aur Hindu Banayenge'. The word 'f***ing' was muted and in the dialogue 'Maa ko Allah se upar darja diya dai', 'Allah' was muted.

Amitabh Bachchan has shared images with his son, Abhishek Bachchan, from their work together. Amitabh took to his blog on Saturday and shared a series of photos of himself seated on a couch in what seemed to be a recording studio while wearing headphones.

Abhishek Bachchan sat next to him on a chair, wearing headphones. Amitabh was dressed colourfully in the images, with red trousers and yellow shoes. Abhishek was spotted wearing a blue hoodie, jeans, and sneakers. Both of them were looking at each other in the photographs.

Amitabh shared the picture and wrote, “running again to work .. late ..but the absolute joy of working together with Abhishek .. many more may they follow .. with prayer and hope ..Love (red heart emoji).”

He took to X (previously Twitter) to tweet and share a few images and wrote, "T 5035 - Peeta putra dono baithe, ek jagah hi kaam pe; jaldh aawe parde jodi, inke adhbhut kaam ke (laughing emoji)." This roughly translates to – both father and son are sitting, in the same place for work; soon the two should come on screen together for their amazing work.

Amitabh and Abhishek have appeared together in several films, including Bunty Aur Babli, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, and Paa.

Although several celebrities have had a feud with Kangana Ranaut in the past, several celebs came in support of the actress turned politician over a slapping incident she experienced recently. For the unversed, Kangana recently won the Lok Sabha Elections the Mandi constituency of Himachal Pradesh and, she experienced this incident at Chandigarh airport. Veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher along with Shekhar Suman and his actor-son Adhyayan Suman came in support of the actress and strongly condemned this behaviour of the security personnel.

Shabana Azmi took to Twitter to share her opinion on the matter and said, “I have no love lost for #Kangana Ranaut. But I can't find myself joining this chorus of celebrating "the slap". If security personnel start taking law into their hands none of us can  be safe .”

Anupam Kher also addressed the incident during an event recently wherein he told the paparazzi, "Mujhe bara afsos hua. Ek mahila k saath ek mahila k dwaara jo apne position ka fayeda uthakar is tarah ki harqat ki, bilkul ghalat hai. Iski kanooni karwaayi honi chahiye. Unka koi bhi rosh hai, main yeh nahi keh raha hoon k inka rosh nhi ho sakta jisne aesa kiya, but yeh apne audhe ka ya position ka fayeda uthakar nahi karna chahiye (I deeply regret that a woman decided to take advantage of her position and did something like this, which is completely wrong. She should be punished legally. She may have had her grievances which I agree but that doesn’t mean she express her anger by taking advantage of her position)”

He continued, "Bohut hi democratic ways hai (There are many democratic ways) of saying that what you have said in the past which has affected. But to do something like this is very sad and unfortunate. Not only because now Kangana in an MP or actress, Kangana is a woman. I think any kind of violence towards anybody, forget about women, isn't right. Kal ho koi bhi kisi ko bhi kisi bhi baat pe is tarah ki harkat kar sakta hai aur bahana bana sakta hai. Ghalat baat hai (Tomorrow, anyone can do this to anybody. And that’s extremely wrong)”.

Meanwhile, Shekhar Suman also expressed his disappointment over the incident and shared, “Woh ghalat hai, woh toh bohut ghalat hai. Bohut hi durbhagyepurn hai. Aesa kisi k saath nahi hona chahiye (This wrong, terribly wrong. It was very unfortunate. This shouldn’t happen with anyone)”.  He added, “No one has the right to do this. This is illegal what she has done. She should get punished for this. I understand that she might have some anger or protest in her mind but the way it was expressed was very wrong. It could also have been said in a decent manner...You can't raise your hand on anyone like this”. Adhyayan Suman showcased his agreement by nodding his head.

For the unversed, the CISF commandant slapped Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport during security check and it is being said that she did this in order to teach the actress-turned-politician a lesson as she disagreed with Ranaut’s thoughts about the farmers’ protest. The security personnel was suspended after the incident.

2023 was a special year in many ways. It began with a bang with the super-success of Pathaan. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback vehicle became the first Bollywood film to enter the Rs. 500 crores club. One expected that no other film in 2023 will be able to repeat this feat. However, 3 more films crossed the Rs. 500 crore mark – Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan and Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal. This year hasn’t been as great as 2023 and once again, everyone’s wondering if any film will achieve the numbers made by the aforementioned films.

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh told Bollywood Hungama that it’s too early to make any conclusion. He said, “It’s too early. A lot of times people say ‘Yeh film kaise chalegi’ or ‘yeh film ka kya hoga’. But surprises do happen. Let me give you an example. A premiere was held in 1991 at Gaiety-Galaxy. It featured a new actor, a new heroine, a new director and a new producer. The father’s hero was a friend of mine. It was released alongside Lamhe (1991).”

When asked if he was referring to Ajay Devgn’s debut film, Phool Aur Kaante (1991), he replied, “Yes. When I attended its premiere, people were already discussing at the venue, ‘Lamhe ke saath kaun aata hai?’. After all, it was Yash Chopra’s next after Chandni (1989) and starred Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. But look what happened with Phool Aur Kaante. One Friday changes everything.”

He continued, “Hence, one should never predict ‘Yeh film 100 crore karegi’ or ‘Yeh film 500 crore nahin karegi’. Did anyone expect Pathaan to cross the Rs. 500 crore mark? Did anyone predict that Jawan will open better than Pathaan? Did we imagine Animal doing such humongous business? Hence, the box office can be so unpredictable.”

One of the biggest films of 2024, Singham Again, is all set to release in the second half of the year and the excitement for it is tremendous. It has an enviable star cast, comprising Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tiger Shroff. Moreover, it is directed by Rohit Shetty, who’s also a crowd-puller.

Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to trade veteran Taran Adarsh about the various films which are about to be released in 2024. When asked about Singham Again, he opined, “Rohit Shetty is a massy director. I didn’t like his previous film, Cirkus (2022). But one failure can’t take away the fact that he has contributed so much to the masala film genre. If he gets it right, then he can deliver a film chhapar phaad ke.”

He remarked, “Rohit Shetty right now is a wounded lion. He’ll bounce back. Aur jab sher zakhmi hota hai, toh zyada khatarnaak hota hai! That’s because he has the fire to prove his worth yet again.”

Taran Adarsh is happy that Singham Again’s clash with Pushpa 2 is averted on Independence Day, “The best thing that has happened is that they are not clashing with Pushpa 2. It’s good they are coming on a different date. And if they come on a solo date, then nothing like it.”

On the star cast, Taran said, “Rohit Shetty teaming up with Ajay Devgn and also the star cast he has assembled is something to watch out for. And Ajay as Bajirao Singham is something else.”

When asked if it’ll have the biggest opening for a Hindi film this year, Taran stated, “Yes, I am very hopeful. Rohit just needs to get it right, in terms of content. Otherwise, he has got the biggest names. And he himself is a star director. Also, Singham is a huge brand. Hence, I hope it opens with a bang and delivers big numbers.”
