Shatrughan's son, Luv Sinha, verified the news and said to India Express, "Dad had viral fever and weakness the last couple of days, so we decided to admit him to the hospital."

Shatrughan Sinha's hospitalisation comes only days after his daughter Sonakshi Sinha's interfaith wedding to Zaheer Iqbal.

Sinha, who transitioned from a successful film career to politics, has been a prominent figure in both fields for decades. He has served as a Member of Parliament and has been actively involved in various political activities.

Medical sources have indicated that Sinha is stable and is expected to make a full recovery. The hospital staff is closely monitoring his condition to ensure he receives the best possible care.

Legendary filmmaker Shankar is known for creating larger-than-life characters who fight for justice against societal evils. Films like Anniyan, Sivaji: The Boss, Mudhalvan, Gentleman and Hindustani are prime examples. His upcoming film Hindustani 2 continues this tradition.

In recent years, the concept of cinematic universes has become increasingly popular, with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) featuring Kaithi, Vikram and Leo being a recent example. But Shankar reveals he had a similar vision way back in 2008, even before the trend emerged! Shankar's Opens Up About His Dream Project In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Shankar shared a fascinating anecdote. "While filming Robot in 2008," he said, "I had this idea of creating a story that brings together Senapathy (played by Kamal Haasan) from Indian, one-day chief minister Shivaji Rao Gaekwad (played by Anil Kapoor) from Nayak and Sivaji (Rajinikanth) in one film." An Idea Ahead of Its Time Shankar's enthusiasm for this multi-starrer concept wasn't met with the response he expected. "I was so excited by the idea," he recalled. "I called my assistant directors and told them about it. But they just stared at me, unsure of how to react."

He further elaborated, "They probably thought I was crazy! The idea of bringing three iconic characters together in one film seemed outlandish at the time. Even senior technicians didn't quite know how to respond. They smiled politely but didn't seem to take it seriously." The Avengers Ignited a Familiar Spark Years later, upon watching The Avengers, Shankar was reminded of his own cinematic universe concept. "I confided in many people about this idea," he said, "but since no one responded positively, I shelved it. Then came The Avengers, and it reignited that spark within me." Shankar's Hindustani 2 Set for Release While the multi-star project remains on hold, Shankar's directorial venture Hindustani 2 is gearing up for release. The film, a sequel to the Hindi blockbuster Indian, is slated for a global theatrical release on July 12 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film stars Siddharth, Kajal Aggarwal Kitchlu and Rakul Preet Singh alongside the original protagonist, played by Kamal Haasan.

Veteran actor Govind Namdev has shared his experience of working with Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Govind Namdev recalled his time with Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000).

Shah Rukh Khan will smoke like a chimney and keep working According to Govind Namdev, Shah Rukh Khan's work ethic was unparalleled, as he would work tirelessly, often for just four hours of sleep, and constantly think about his next project. “I had heard a lot about workaholics, jinhe sirf kaam ki dhun hoti hai. I had heard about them, but I saw it the first time when I worked with Shah Rukh Khan,” Govind Namdev said.

He further recalled, “We worked throughout the day, then at night he mingled with the whole crew, we ate together and then, because he was also the producer, he worked till 2 AM. The next day, he had to take an early morning flight to Chennai to attend a function, then come back and resume shooting! He would’ve slept for not more than three and a half or four hours maximum. Kaam mein dhuni hai woh. He will smoke like a chimney and keep working, keep thinking about what to do next. Superstars usually have this attitude, these tantrums, but not him.” Govind Namdev recalls shooting Wanted with Salman Khan Govind Namdev also shared his experience of working with Salman Khan on the sets of Wanted (2009). Unlike Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan didn't interact much with the crew and focused solely on his work. Govind Namdev noted that Salman Khan would occasionally share stories about his childhood and his father, Salim Khan, but otherwise kept to himself.

In his words, “He doesn’t interact much, sirf kaam se kaam. There was no personal talk at all. Just sometimes how unke father kaise hote the, kuch bhi tedha kiya toh padti thi humko‘ (Salman would share how if the kids did anything naughty, they would get a beating by their father Salim). That’s it. He is the opposite of Shah Rukh Khan as far as interacting with others is concerned.”

Speaking of the professional front, the veteran actor was last seen in Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur. Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently shooting for Sikandar and Shah Rukh is vacationing in London with friends and family.

Maine kaha tumne Shaadi kar li (One day I was out and the two of them were together somewhere and they decided among themselves that they should get married, and she agreed as well. And then, these got married. I got his call saying, ‘Payal I wanna give you a good news’ I understand his each and every habit. I immediately asked him if he got married)?”

Payal breaks down

While everyone was listening to the story intently, tarot card reader and co-contestant Munisha Khatwani chimmed in and asked, "Tumko nahi laga inhone bahut bada dhokha diya hai. Aap ki friend, Aap ki best friend hoke, aap ke husband ke saath shaadi kiya? (Didn't you feel that they betrayed you? Your friend, your best friend, got married to your husband?)” This question left Payal quite upset and the latter ended up breaking down. While Armaan rushed to console her saying, “Abhi toh Khush hona tum, abhi saat saal ho gaye. Kabhi kabhi toh mujhe aisa lagta hai ki inn dono (Payal and Krithika) ki shaadi hui hai (Now you are happy right? It has been seven years. Sometimes, I feel like it is those two who have gotten married)”.

However, the latter made a rather shocking revelation recently when she addressed the issue of miscarriage and shared that she herself was on the verge of suffering one during her first pregnancy.

In a podcast with Prakhar Gupta, Mira Rajput said, “Not many people know this, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, it was my first pregnancy. And you are like, oh, I am 21-20, whatever… I am healthy, and I am like very fit and the prime of my life in terms of having kids. What is the worse can happen, and I almost miscarried when I was four months pregnant. Came back and had this sonography and the doctor tells me that lie down right now.” She also continued about how the doctor admitted her immediately and even told her that she could lose her baby any moment due to her condition.

Mira Rajput also opens up about Shahid Kapoor setting up a hospital at home

Mira mentioned that she couldn’t be in the atmosphere more than a couple of months and added, “At the end of two and a half months, I wanted to get out from there, but couldn’t get off the bed, so Shahid spoke to my doctor and told him, ‘I will set up the home as a hospital, will put up the bed, and get everything, but let her be at home.’ He was seeing that it was taking a toll on me mentally. So, we did this, went back home, my whole family come to see me surprises me. They surprised me, and I was so overwhelmed that I started getting contractions.” The star wife revealed that she was rushed to the hospital yet again due to her worsening condition.

Karan Johar, who is known for his quirky jibes and witty one-liners did not receive a great feedback when it came to his show Koffee With Karan Season 8 which released in 2023. The filmmaker-host’s show is known for its fun conversations where actors spill the beans on their personal and professional lives, making some intriguing revelations. However, the year of 2024 will not mark the return of the show, asserted KJo, who also promised that he is definitely looking at releasing Season 9 next year.

In an interview with Sucharita, Karan Johar discussed what went wrong with Season 8 of Koffee With Karan and revealed how a fun and peppy round like the Rapid Fire had become so boring that he didn’t want to give out the prize (coffee hamper) to anyone. “In the history of Koffee with Karan, it was the most boring rapid fire. It was so boring that I was like snooze alert. I’m like why am I even doing this? You’re not giving me questions. Should we just drop the rapid fire? Main hi hamper ghar le jaata hoon because no one really deserves to win it,” said Karan.

He further stated about Season 9 being on the cards and shared, “Let’s change the world of Koffee with Karan. Let season 9 be all the fun, all the chattiness and all the candour but let’s do it in a way that is not putting the celebrities in an awkward, touchy space. People are scared to open up, they don’t say anything the way they used to. You can’t ask them which is an overrated film or an overrated performance. Nobody is going to give it to you.”

“So I took 2024 off. It’s going to be back 2025. Somewhere around the second half of 2025, we want to come back with a new syntax,” he concluded.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who was a part of Bigg Boss 15, recently took to social media to share her opinion on the recent launch of Bigg Boss OTT 3. The digital version of the reality show, which is currently in its third season, saw several influencers as contestants including the famous trio of Armaan Malik, Payal, and Krithika Malik. Devoleena, who was upset with the idea living with two wives, decided to call out the reality show and shared about it on social media.

Devoleena Bhattacharjee calls it ‘filth’

Expressing that she is disgusted over a man confessing about falling in love with another woman, while being married to her best friend, and living with both of them, the actress criticized the show and called it ‘filth’. She said, “Do you think this is entertainment? This is not entertainment, it's filth. Don't make the mistake of taking this lightly because it's not just a reel, it's real. I mean, I can't even understand how anyone can call this shamelessness entertainment ? I feel disgusted just hearing about it. Gross. I mean, in just 6/7 days love happened, marriage happened, and then the same thing with the wife's best friend. This is beyond my imagination.”

Actress calls out the show for promoting two marriages

“And Bigg Boss, what has happened to you? Kya itne bure din chal rahe hai apke that you find polygamy entertaining? What were you thinking when you introduced such contestants? This show is watched by people from children to the elderly. What do you want to teach the new generation? That they can have 2-3-4 marriages? Everyone can live happily together? Go and ask those who suffer from such incidents every day, living their lives in misery,” she shared in her note.

Devoleena continued, “This is why the Special Marriage Act and UCC (Uniform Civil Code) should be mandatory. So that the law is the same for everyone and society can be free from such filth. A second wife while having a first wife. Imagine if in the name of equality, wives started having 2-2 husbands, would you still be entertained.”

Devoleena criticizes the influencers and their audience

“And I don't understand who their followers are. And for what reason do they follow them? Is your mind in the right place or not please get it treated first. If you find this shamelessness right then your life is a waste. You can't think beyond it nor can you do anything about it. What do you want to teach the new generation, that they should have multiple marriages? Gross. The thought itself is so cringe. And if it's so necessary to have 2-3 marriages then do it and stay at home. Don't spread this filthy mindset to the world. As a society, we are only heading towards destruction. Truly people have gone mad. And Bigg Boss, I don't know what has happened to you,” she concluded.

Do you think this is entertainment? This is not entertainment, it's filth. Don't make the mistake of taking this lightly because it's not just a reel, it's real. I mean, I can't even understand how anyone can call this shamelessness entertainment ? I feel disgusted just hearing… https://t.co/BVeVjGrTm2 — Devoleena Bhattacharjee (@Devoleena_23) June 22, 2024

Nearly four decades since its inception and several highs and lows later, Vashu Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment is reeling from a major financial setback. The production banner, known for making blockbuster entertaining movies like Coolie No.1, Biwi No.1, and Hero No.1, among others, is downsizing its operations following consecutive box office failures, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt.

According to trade sources familiar with the development, Vashu Bhagnani has sold his seven-floor office of Pooja Entertainment to a builder. The identity of the builder who purchased the land and the amount it sold for is not disclosed yet, but they will apparently now demolish the building to create a luxurious residential project on the plot.

Vashu has also sacked almost 80% of employees and shifted the office base to a two-bedroom flat in Juhu, the sources have revealed. The layoffs began in January 2024 after Jagan Shakti’s film starring Tiger Shroff was shelved following a two-year struggle to take it on floors. The workforce was further reduced in April, specifically after the release of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. This development comes on the heels of the disastrous box office failure of BMCM, which barely earned Rs. 59.17 crores at the box office against the investment of Rs. 350 crores, resulting in losses of at least Rs. 125-150 crores for the production banner. Sources say Vashu has sold the building to pay off debts to multiple financiers, amounting to approximately Rs. 250 crores.

“It all started with Bell Bottom, which was one of the first Hindi movie to be released in theatres post the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. The film flopped badly at the box office and so did the next one, Mission Raniganj. The company faced another setback when the big-budget Ganapath failed to perform and was even rejected by Netflix despite an acquisition deal. Red flags had already begun to appear in the company's financial sheet by this point, and the enormous investment in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan made matters worse. Even still, the firm held out hope that the action entertainer starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff would turn around its financial situation. However, the historic failure of this Ali Abbas Zafar directorial almost crippled the company. Vashu had no choice but to sell the building to pay off the enormous debt,” a source familiar with the development told Bollywood Hungama.

Despite these challenges, sources claim that Pooja Entertainment is not folding. Vashu and his son Jackky Bhagnani are determined to reboot operations and have already started discussions with actors and directors for a fresh slate of movies. In contrast to rumours, they are going ahead with Shahid Kapoor’s Ashwatthama project that they announced just a few months back.

Pooja Entertainment was established in 1986 and has produced around 40 movies to date. The big successes include their films with David Dhawan, such as Coolie No.1, Hero No.1, Biwi No.1, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and highly appreciated movies such as Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Om Jai Jagadish, among others. The success ratio of the company, however, is outperformed by its big box office failures such as Himmatwala (2013), Humshakals (2014), Bell Bottom, Mission Raniganj, Ganapath, and the recent Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.

Taking his stardom to the next level, Sunny Deol signed a rather interesting deal this week. The actor will be making his big Telugu debut with the untitled film, which will be directed by Gopichand Malineni. The film, which is currently being referred to as SDGM, was announced earlier this week with the shooting commencing this month and will have Saiyami Kher as the leading lady as well as Regina Cassandra in a key role.

Gopichand Malineni talks about his first collaboration with Sunny Deol

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Gopichand Malineni revealed that the script was written for someone like Sunny Deol. Speaking of whether he is nervous or excited about directing Deol, Malineni said, “More than nervous about my Bollywood debut, I feel confident that it’ll be a good film. I wrote the script knowing it’ll be perfect for someone like Sunny. Luckily, Mythri Movie Makers also agreed and helped me approach him. To my surprise, Sunny said yes immediately because he liked it so much.”

Gopichand asserts that the film is not a remake

He refrained from revealing too many details about the film.  “I wish I could reveal much, but I can’t yet. Let’s just say the film has a particular plot point that sets it apart. It’s not just about the mass elements my films usually have; it’s going to be a racy script with a touch of realism,” he shared. “He’s a big action hero, I’m a mass director and we have the perfect script. And let’s be clear, it’s not a remake,” added the director.

Gopichand also discusses about their works and what they like about each other

The filmmaker revealed about the Gadar actor’s love for his 2021 film starring Ravi Teja and Shruti Haasan as he mentioned, “Sunny has seen Krack, he liked it.” Meanwhile, Malineni has a list of films which are his favourites and he stated, “Me on the other hand, I think I’ve seen all his films. My favourites are Ghayal, Damini, Gadar, Border.”

Sara Ali Khan had a rocking debut in 2018 with Kedarnath followed by Simmba. Both films were released within three weeks of each other. Incidentally, the films were also shot almost together. In fact, there was a point when Kedarnath’s dates got affected after Prerna Aroraa left the film. Sara’s management agency gave some of these dates to the makers of Simmba. But soon, Kedarnath was back on track as the issue was resolved. By then, Sara Ali Khan’s dates were given away. Abhishek Kapoor, the director and one of the producers of Kedarnath, went to court over this issue. During an interaction with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day, Sara Ali Khan spoke about this episode in her life.

Sara explained, “In May 2018, I was supposed to do Simmba. Kedarnath was happening; it was my debut film. Then, some dates went upar neeche and I also signed Simmba. Now, there were 3-4 dates that were coinciding. And yeah, I got sued for Rs. 5 crores (by the makers of Kedarnath)! I was very nervous because I didn’t have Rs. 5 crores (smiles).”

Sara Ali Khan said that it was a difficult period of her life, “My mother (Amrita Singh) was in Delhi as her father was dying. Ibrahim was in school. And I was served a vakaalatnaama. I was like, ‘Ab iska main kya karoon? Samaj hi nahin aa raha’! I sent the management to court as I had to go and shoot which the makers were aware of as they were also at the shoot (smiles)!”

Thankfully, an out-of-court settlement happened soon. She revealed, “Rohit sir (Rohit Shetty) and Gattu sir (Abhishek Kapoor) met in a room. Ranveer Singh (her co-star in Simmba) was also present and he said, ‘Okay, then’ and quickly left the room as it was a bit strange.” Thankfully, a solution was reached in no time. Sara revealed, “Kedarnath’s makers only wanted three dates and Rohit sir said, ‘Theek hai, le lo’! The case ended.”

She also added, “It was tricky as I spent a lot of time flying from Hyderabad to Mumbai. I was shooting simultaneously; Simmba at night and Kedarnath in the morning.” She also stated that due to the case, the equation with Abhishek Kapoor. Then, one day, she got her spot girl Zarna, who makes great coffee, to prepare the beverage for Abhishek Kapoor. She said, “After that, the shoot was smooth.”

Sara Ali Khan also made it clear that there is no bad blood between her and Abhishek, “He also had his reasons. And it’s all good now.”

"A film release is almost like the arrival of a child for a film maker," said Director Siddharth P Malhotra in a note as his film, Maharaj, finally released on OTT. Taking to social media, Malhotra penned an emotional note about how the film tells a story that “needs to be told against all odds”. He said that even though the battle to release the film was uphill, they hope the pain and obstacles were worth it as the team is “super proud” of the film, which marks Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan’s acting debut.

“The film is finally live. Please watch the film and share it on social media to spread the word. we promise you it’s well worth your time and your families too. It’s a story hopefully you will agree that needs to be told,” he wrote in the long post.

The film is receiving immense love from critics. While people are praising Junaid’s first stint as an actor, critics are raving over Jaideep Ahlawat’s performance in it. The film marked Malhotra’s return to the director’s chair after Rani Mukherji’s Hichki, which released in theatres in 2018.

Junaid Khan, the son of Bollywood star Aamir Khan, makes his acting debut in the Netflix film Maharaj, which is based on the life of journalist Karsan Das Mulji. The narrative focuses around the lives of a journalist who, against the odds, used the power of his pen to fight against the 'atrocities' perpetrated by religious leaders.

Members of a Hindu organisation filed a court petition to block its distribution, arguing that it violated religious feelings. Protests against its publication included social media boycotts. Its publication was subsequently postponed for one week. The suspension was lifted by the Gujarat High Court on June 21.

After Maharaj secured a clean chit from the court, Yash Raj Films (YRF) issued a long message of thanks to the Court on its official Instagram account. The statement noted, “We are grateful to the judiciary for allowing the release of Maharaj, a film that celebrates one of the most important social reformers of our country, Karsandas Mulji.”

Apart from Junaid, the film also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari Wagh.

Sanjay Gupta, known for his stylish and gritty films, spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama about the box office scenario at present, his memories of working on his first film Aatish and a lot more.

How has 2024 been from a box-office point of view? Do you think we are at a better stage as compared to 2022 and 2023? Not really. Even though mid-sized and low-budget films have worked off late, it’s not a good sign. Munjya, Laapataa Ladies and Article 370 succeeded but when you are talking to a studio – only one or two are still left – they are not ready to back a small film. They want the safety of stars. So, even though these films are working, nobody is ready to make them. Hence, we are living in complicated times.

Why do you say ‘complicated times’? Take the instance of Ajay Devgn. His film Shaitaan worked but Maidaan bombed. Both were released a month apart. The surety of stardom is definitely eroded. Maidaan was a story one had seen before. Shaitaan, on the other hand, had a story that one had not seen before. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan completely tanked because one had seen it before. The content that we make now has to be something that one has not seen before. The audience is definitely looking for something new. There’s, after all, so much to consume. The biggest challenge to the film industry is screen time. We are constantly on our phones today. So, the need to be entertained is diminished.

Moreover, if word of mouth is not there today, the film is not going to work. Earlier, star-driven films did not require word of mouth. People came for the stars. Now, they don’t come for the stars. Shah Rukh Khan delivered two Rs. 500 crore films in the form of Pathaan and Jawan. Then his next film, Dunki, collected Rs. 250 crores.

Whichever films have worked at the box office post-pandemic, be it the ones down South or Bollywood, like Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR, Jawan etc., in these films, one can see hard work in every shot and frame. The directors have not slacked and have given it all. That is what connected with the audience. They have noticed it as they are way smarter than us. We, filmmakers, are nowhere!

I am dying to get back to my set for my next film. And I am telling writers to make it tougher for me to shoot it and to ingest a whole new style and look into it. The moral of the story is that we have to work really hard.

There’s also a perception that people are bored of watching slick action films and that Bollywood should return to raw, hand-to-hand action, as seen in Gadar 2 and Animal… Yes, you are right. The next film I am directing, it is in the search-and-rescue mission space, more on the zone of Extraction (2020). We have already incorporated a lot of crazy action into the script. And the IMAX theatres we have today and even in general theatres, the sound and the projection are quite powerful. It is stupid enough not to make the most of it, be it with background score, sound design, action etc. Now is the time to innovate. Woh zamana gaya jab hum Gaiety-Galaxymein baith ke stereo ya mono mein film dekhte the. Today, every second theatre is equipped with Dolby Atmos.

Your first film, Aatish (1994), which completed 30 years on June 17, was a multi-starrer. It’s rare for a filmmaker to cast such big names in his first film…

And the fact that I was hardly 22 years old at that time (smiles)!

How did you handle so many actors? Did you feel the pressure? Not at all. I never considered stars to be larger-than-life. They are just actors. I am just a director who is directing it. The only time I was in a lot of awe was when I directed Mr Bachchan in Kaante (2002), that too just for the first scene. That awe was there only until we filmed the first shot. After that, all the ice was broken. I am just blessed that I’ll live to tell my grandchildren that I work with Amitabh Bachchan!

As per IMDB trivia, Shah Rukh Khan was the original choice for Aditya Pancholi’s role. Is that true? Not at all. Shah Rukh and I started together, in the same office of Sippy Films. As a matter of fact, I introduced Shah Rukh Khan to Viveck Vaswani, who then produced Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992) along with Sippy Films. So, I have known Shah Rukh way before he was signed by any producer. It is just fate that I have never approached him with any film as my loyalty was always with Mr Dutt.

In Marjaavaan (2019), it seems like Milap Zaveri paid a homage to Aatish. The scene where Shaad Randhawa loses his leg is similar to the scene in your film where Aditya Pancholi’s leg gets cut. Did you know about it?

Yes, he told me that he’s paying homage to me and my film. I have not seen the film yet but I heard about it.

Your wife Anuradha Gupta just won the Mrs World International 2024. How do you feel? I am very proud of her. One day, she told me that she had entered the competition. I told her to go for it. I was very calm about it. And we went to Delhi for the competition where she won. My kids are sensible enough now – one is 11 and the other is 13. They saw their mother walk the ramp and win the crown. It was a very proud moment for all of us.

In the past, many actors have openly admitted to the existence of casting couch despite some denying it. Among them was Isha Koppikar who has opened up experiencing the same in the past. Recently, she revealed that she was approached for casting couch when she was as young as 18 years old and how she was advised to be ‘friendly’ with industry insiders.

Isha Koppikar reveals the ‘traumatic’ experience when she was 18

In an interview with NDTV India, Isha Koppikar recalled the same and said, “I was 18 when a secretary and an actor approached me for casting couch. They told me that to get work, you have to be ‘friendly' with actors. I am very friendly, but what does ‘friendly' mean? I am so friendly that Ekta Kapoor once told me to have some attitude.”

Isha Koppikar has earlier also confessed to a similar experience she had with an A-lister

A couple of years ago, Isha Koppikar had opened up about how a ‘hero’ had invited her to meet him along without her staff. Sharing the incident yet again in this interview, Isha added, “When I was 23, one actor asked me to meet him alone, without my driver or anyone else, because there were rumours about him being involved with other actresses. He said, ‘There are already controversies about me, and the staff spreads rumours.' But I refused and told him that I couldn't come alone. He was an A-list actor from the Hindi film industry.”

About Isha Koppikar

Isha Koppikar debuted in films with Telugu and Tamil films in 1998, followed by her Kannada debut in 1999. The actress made her Bollywood debut with the 2000 film Fiza which featured in a minor role and later she went on to be a part of films like Pinjar, Dil Ka Rishta, Krishna Cottage, Kya Kool Hain Hum, Salaam-E-Ishq, Ek Vivaah… Aisa Bhi, among many others.

While fans are eagerly awaiting to see Farhan Akhtar collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan for the third time in the Don franchise, some were a tad bit disappointed that they will have to wait more for this reunion. While Don 3 is already in works, SRK has decided to not be a part of it. However, Farhan has asserted that fans need not be disappointed as he has dropped a major hint indicating that he would be working with Badshah in the future.

Farhan Akhtar reacts to his reunion with Shah Rukh Khan

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Farhan seems to have raised the hopes of fans who were not happy about Shah Rukh Khan quitting the Don franchise. Agreeing that a collaboration is definitely on the cards, Akhtar said, “Yeah, absolutely yeah. We’ll find something that we want to work on together, and I’m sure we will.” He continued, “You just have to find something that you can connect on with somebody,” and assured fans by adding, “100 percent.”

Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming films

Farhan Akhtar recently celebrated 20 years of his second directorial Lakshya starring Hrithik Roshan. The filmmaker-actor, who dons multiple roles with ease, is said to have started work on the ambitious Don 3 as the expectations are riding high on the movie. With Ranveer Singh donning this hat for the first time, and with Kiara Advani being roped in as the leading lady, this will also mark their first collaboration on screen.

Besides this, Farhan Akhtar also has the highly anticipated Jee Le Zaraa. Although the film was announced three years ago in 2021, the film’s schedule has been pushed multiple times. Featuring a female-led cast of Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif, it is expected to be a road-trip drama but due to dates co-ordination, the film has not yet been able to take off.

Sanjay Gupta and Sanjay Dutt go back a long way and have worked in several films together. It’s been 17 years since they last collaborated and their fans are eagerly waiting for their next. In 2022, there were reports that their collaboration is finally happening and after that, there has been no update. Bollywood Hungama recently spoke with Sanjay Gupta and asked him about this much-awaited venture.

When asked about reports that he and Sanjay Dutt were planning a film, Sanjay Gupta replied, “We are still planning a film together! As a matter of fact, his manager just came to meet me. We have worked out the script and now, we are working out the logistics.”

Does he recall his first meeting with Sanjay Gupta? The filmmaker, known for his styling and gritty films, answered, “It must have been 35-40 years ago. I was an assistant director and I met him for the first time on location. Later, we shot for a film called Thanedaar (1990) in Kodaikanal. It was during this outdoor schedule that we hit it out and we became friends.”

Sanjay Dutt featured in Sanjay Gupta's directorial debut, Aatish (1994), which completed 30 years on June 17. This was followed by Khauff (2000), Jung (2000), Kaante (2002), Musafir (2004), Dus Kahaniyaan (2007) and the unfinished film, Alibaug. Sanjay Dutt also worked in his productions like Plan (2004) and Shootout At Lokhandwala (2007). This means that both have worked in as many as 9 films.

In a 2022 interview with Bombay Times, Sanjay Dutt confessed, “In many ways, we grew up together, holding each other’s hands. I know Gups well and I know what he wants from me. Beech mein, main behak gaya tha. I wasn’t taking care of myself and I didn’t want to work with him at a time when I was not at my best. The reason I hit the gym is that I started preparing myself to work with him again. I am getting back to my home turf very soon.”

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.
