In a recent Instagram story, Gauahar Khan extended her support to Vishal Pandey, who is currently embroiled in a heated controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3. Gauahar questioned the fairness of the backlash Vishal faced for complimenting Armaan Malik's second wife, Kritika Malik. She wrote, “Toh kya married logon ko sundar bolna bhi gunah hai!!!!! Kuch bhi. (Is it a crime to call married people beautiful. Doesn’t make sense).” Gauahar's comment reflects her disbelief at the situation and emphasizes that appreciating someone's beauty should not be considered offensive.

The viral video incident

The incident began when a video showing Vishal and fellow contestant Luv Kataria making jokes about Kritika’s gym clothes went viral. In the clip, Kritika and Armaan are seen working out in the garden gym area while Vishal and Luv sit nearby. Vishal comments, “Bhaiya Bhagyashaali (Lucky brother),” referring to Armaan, to which Luv responds, “Main samajh gaya (I understood everything).” The conversation escalates with Vishal telling Luv to stay quiet, hinting at impropriety, which Luv acknowledges with embarrassment.

Payal Malik's accusations and Armaan's reaction

Adding to the tension, Armaan Malik's first wife, Payal Malik, claimed on the show that Vishal had admitted to liking Kritika and later regretting his feelings. This disclosure led to a confrontation where Anil Kapoor and Armaan reprimanded Vishal, who denied the accusations. Armaan’s frustration peaked when Vishal asked Luv to repeat his words about Kritika, prompting Armaan to slap Vishal. The altercation was intense, and other housemates had to step in to prevent further escalation.

Anil Kapoor's role as host

This season of Bigg Boss OTT marks Anil Kapoor's debut as the show's host, replacing Salman Khan, who had other professional commitments. The star-studded cast, including Shivani Kumari, Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, and Deepak Chaurasia, adds to the drama and excitement of the show. Anil Kapoor's presence has brought a fresh dynamic to the series, but the controversies continue to stir the pot among the contestants.

The ongoing drama

As tensions remain high in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, the incident involving Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey has divided fans and viewers. With Gauahar Khan's support for Vishal and ongoing conflicts among contestants, the show promises more drama and unexpected twists. The reactions from housemates and the public will undoubtedly shape the narrative as the season progresses, keeping the audience hooked to the unfolding events.

The latest controversy on Bigg Boss OTT 3 has not only stirred emotions within the house but also among the viewers and former contestants like Gauahar Khan. Her support for Vishal Pandey adds another layer to the complex dynamics of the show, highlighting how a single incident can spark widespread debate and division.

The month of May brought some relief to the exhibitors thanks to the Rajkummar Rao-starrer Srikanth. It was one of the few major releases of the month and did exceptionally well in cinemas. It also made its director Tushar Hiranandani someone to watch out for. It has now come to light that Tushar has already moved on to his next project. As per a source, he is reshooting certain portions of the Vikrant Massey-starrer The Sabarmati Report.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is not going for a massive reshoot. The producers felt that some scenes could come out strongly and also, they thought of roping in Tushar Hiranandani for the reshoot. The actors, too, readily came on board.”

In April 2024, Bollywood Hungama reported that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had expressed reservations that certain moments in the film could hurt the sentiments of a section of the moviegoers and hence, the makers had toyed with the idea of reshooting the film. The source, however, has no information on whether the film is being reshot for this reason or some other factor.

Back then, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that The Sabarmati Report wouldn’t be able to make it in cinemas on May 3. This was a time when the Lok Sabha Elections were going on and besides objections to some scenes, the CBFC also feared that it might violate the model code of conduct as laid down by the Election Commission of India.

Besides Vikrant Massey, The Sabarmati Report also stars Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra. It is a political thriller about two reporters investigating the burning of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra on February 27, 2002. It is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan and directed by Ranjan Chandel.

As if the sewage water wasn't enough, Shweta also encountered another unsettling surprise. "I also saw a snake crawling there," she added, "and realised it was in the water with us at night."

Actor Huma Qureshi has come on board to headline the upcoming investigative police procedural drama Bayaan, award-winning producer Shiladitya Bora announced on Friday. Developed at Film Independent, Los Angeles, Bayaan will be helmed by writer-director Bikas Mishra, best known for his acclaimed feature film Chauranga.

Also starring actors Chandrachur Singh and Sachin Khedekar, Bayaan is set to begin production in Rajasthan, this month. The film is jointly produced by Shiladitya Bora (Platoon One Films), Madhu Sharma (Summit Studios), Kunal Kumar, and Anshuman Singh.

The drama is set against the ravishing landscape of Rajasthan and follows the story of a father-daughter duo.

She is, however, doomed to fail as her opponent’s influence runs deep within the system. Roohi must strive to live up to her father’s legacy, who is a legend in the world of law enforcement," the logline reads.

The film is supported by the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Hubert Bals Fund and was developed at LA Residency, a part of the Global Media Makers (GMM) program of Film Independent, Los Angeles. During the course of the residency, Bikas was mentored by Craig Mazin (creator of HBO’s Chernobyl, The Last of Us, Hangover 2 and 3) and received advice on the script from writer Jeff Stockwell and story editor Ruth Atkinson.

"The sheer passion of the director-producer duo, Bikas and Shiladitya, moved me," actor Huma Qureshi said about signing Bayaan.

"Collaborating with such dedicated professionals, who care deeply about filmmaking, is truly exciting. It's a rare combination: a fantastic script, a talented crew, and their complete dedication to their work. Their energy is infectious. I'm excited about Bayaan!" said Qureshi, known for titles like Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur and the Netflix Original Monica O My Darling.

Having assembled the best cast and crew, there is no stopping now. We are going to make a film that will speak to the world, to tell a story we care a great deal about."

Producer Shiladitya Bora said a film like Bayaan perfectly aligned with the vision of his production house. "As a producer, I'm always looking for that one script that will be a breakout film for everyone involved. My job is to back the director's vision and empower him to create a film that will take us places. Huma's backing reaffirms my faith in the project."

Producer Shiladitya Bora has earlier backed projects such as Newton (India’s Official Entry to the 2018 Oscars), and Picasso (Prime Video India's first Marathi direct-to-digital acquisition). His banner, Platoon One Films, is a leading Indian independent film production house that was behind last year’s Berlin Panorama selection Ghaath.

Bayaan boasts a talented crew; three of them, the director, producer, and cinematographer, are alumni of the prestigious Berlinale Talents. Udit Khurana (Ghaath, Netflix’s Hunt for Veerappan) will shoot the film, while Vinay Vishwakarma (Disney-Hotstar's Candy) will serve as the production designer, and Shilpi Agarwal (Prasanna Vithanage’s Paradise, Netflix’s Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom) will serve as the costume designer.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is gearing up for his 10th directorial venture, titled Love & War. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal will lead the upcoming project. This news was followed by an official announcement from Bhansali himself, confirming a Christmas 2025 release date. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source close to the project said that Bhansali has partnered with Jio Studios to bring his vision of the film to life. The film is described as one of Bhansali's most ambitious projects to date, and the pre-production process is already well underway.

The source revealed that Bhansali is taking a break from his signature period dramas with Love & War. This film promises a fresh direction for the director, focusing on an intense love story infused with his unique style and penchant for grandeur. The past few months have seen Bhansali finalizing the music score and conducting script-reading sessions with the lead actors, ensuring a collaborative and meticulously crafted narrative.

While details about the plot remain under wraps, the source hints at a story unlike anything Bhansali has presented before. He aims to showcase a love story on an unprecedented scale, blending his signature elements of color, music, drama, action, and raw emotions. This is a significant departure from his historical epics, and fans are eager to see Bhansali's interpretation of a contemporary love story.

Bhansali is known for his meticulous filmmaking process, and this film is no exception. The source revealed that the director is ready to begin shooting by the last quarter of 2024. There's a possibility of a short initial schedule with Ranbir Kapoor before the full-fledged production kicks off in November with all three lead actors.

To accommodate Bhansali's vision of a 250-day shooting schedule, the cast has reportedly allotted significant chunks of their time. Alia Bhatt will first complete her work on the ambitious YRF Spy Universe film, while Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will wrap up their respective projects – Ramayana: Part One and Chhava.

Love & War is shaping up to be a monumental undertaking. The source confirmed that the film will be made on a massive budget, promising a visually stunning experience for audiences.

This reunion is especially thrilling for fans because it puts together a squad that has already achieved multiple box office successes.

The production of Sikandar is currently underway, with the team working tirelessly to deliver a high-quality film experience. The film is supposed to include high-octane action sequences, cutting-edge special effects, and a captivating storyline. Fans are eagerly expecting further details, such as a teaser or video that would give them a glimpse into Sikandar's universe.

Junaid Khan, who has received praise for his portrayal in his recent debut film Maharaj, has remarked about "his biggest critic at home". In an interview with India Today, Junaid said that his father, Aamir Khan, mother, Reena Dutta, and sister, Ira Khan, are "very supportive and very encouraging even in their criticism."

Junaid Khan about family support

He said, "We don’t really talk about films so much. But I know that Ira (my sister) unconditionally supports me. I'm blessed because I come from a very supportive family. Also, they don't shy away from saying it like it is. Even Papa (Aamir) will say, 'Look, I feel this, but you should do what you want.' The same is with mom. So, yeah, I think everybody is very supportive and very encouraging even in their criticism.”

Junaid on Aamir’s unique acting style

Junaid also responded to a question about his height gap with Aamir and how his acting technique differs from his father's. He continued, “I guess that is a compliment (laughs). No, I don't know how to answer that in the sense that it's not necessarily a conscious thing. I guess as performers, we're all different. He's a fantastic actor. A lot of times, between two of his own films, you would not be able to tell it's the same person. So, yes, we are very different as performers.”

About Maharaj

Junaid played Karsandas Mulji, a social reformer, in the film Maharaj. Maharaj digs into the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case, one of India's most famous judicial battles, and focuses on the life of Karsanda. The film, directed by Sidharth P Malhotra and produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF) Entertainment, also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari. Maharaj is currently available on Netflix.

Junaid on his film Maharaj

Recently speaking with news agency ANI, Junaid opened up about how he was inspired by the story of Karsandas Mulji. "He was a real person who in 1862 was talking about those things which even today are happening. It happens in society today. And it happens in every society. And at that time, he was fighting about it. When we didn't have that much knowledge. So, I found the character and the story very inspirational. That there is a man who had so much understanding back then," he had said.

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is Ajay and Tabu's eleventh film together, and fans are anxious to see them as lovers. Director Neeraj Panday admits that he was unaware of their off-screen friendship, but he thought they were the ideal cast for the picture. “Two years back, when we were figuring out our next theatrical release, the germ of this film came to me. It was there in some form in my head before that but I didn’t actually sit down and write about it till two years ago. And Ajay and Tabu were my first choices. Having said that, I don’t know if it’s their friendship that translated onscreen because I know nothing about its background,” the filmmaker said.

Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha is an epic love story that follows Krishna and Vasudha as their young relationship confronts numerous challenges, eventually leading to their separation when Krishna commits multiple murders and is condemned to life in jail. Krishna gets released from prison after 22 years, and the story revolves around his final rendezvous with Vasudha.

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3, tensions within the house reached a boiling point when Armaan Malik and Vishal Pandey engaged in a heated verbal exchange. Armaan called Vishal "machchar" (mosquito), hinting at his annoyance with him. The feud escalated when Armaan mocked Vishal’s viral ‘Kachcha Badaam’ video and accused him of hiding his phone, a claim Vishal dismissed as a joke. The relationship between the two soured further as their disagreements intensified.

Payal Malik’s reaction to the incident

Reacting to the incident, Payal Malik, Armaan’s wife, spoke in an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol.com, supporting her husband. "Armaan kabhi dil se kuch nahi kehte. Unhone aise he majaak mein kaha hoga. Sare gharvale jealous hai humse," she reiterated, emphasizing that Armaan’s comments should not be taken to heart as he often speaks in jest. Payal’s statement highlights her belief that the other housemates might be envious of their relationship.

Further escalation over food quality

The situation further escalated when Armaan and Vishal clashed over the quality of food. Armaan complained about the half-cooked rotis made by Vishal, leading to another argument. Vishal’s blunt response, suggesting Armaan cook the rotis himself if he didn’t like them, only added fuel to the fire. The argument carried over to the next day, underscoring the ongoing tension between the two contestants and their struggle to coexist peacefully.

Audience reaction to Armaan Malik's family dynamics

The inclusion of Armaan Malik and his two wives in Bigg Boss OTT 3 has divided viewers. Some appreciate the bold move to showcase a polygamous relationship, while others criticize it as a mere gimmick to boost ratings. This decision by the show’s producers has sparked widespread debate about the portrayal of unconventional family structures on national television, with Payal and Kritika's presence adding a unique dynamic to the show.

The aftermath of Payal Malik's eviction

Payal Malik’s eviction from the show has left Armaan and Kritika Malik to continue competing. Her departure has been a topic of discussion among fans, many of whom consider it unfair. Despite her eviction, Payal remains supportive of her family and continues to defend Armaan’s actions and behavior in the house. The ongoing drama and evolving dynamics within the house keep viewers engaged as Bigg Boss OTT 3 progresses.

When Shah Rukh Khan Couldn’t Pay EMI  Speaking at an event, held by the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry in the state, Juhi revealed that Shah Rukh Khan, upon arriving in Mumbai, didn't have a permanent residence.

Juhi mentioned his dedication during their projects together, including Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Dil Aashna Hai, and Deewana with Divya Bharti.

Juhi shared, “I remember Shah Rukh those days didn't have a home in Mumbai. So he used to come from Delhi (his hometown). I don't know where he stayed. He used to have tea with the unit (the film crew), eat with the unit, and blended in the unit seamlessly. He also did 2-3 shifts then.”

She further recalled, “He had a black Gypsy. But it was taken away one day because he couldn't pay the EMI, or there was something. He came on our set very dejected. I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you'll have many more cars one day.' And he still remembers that. Because it's true. Look at him today.” Shah Rukh Khan’s humble beginning Led to Stardom  Today, Shah Rukh Khan owns a fleet of luxury vehicles and resides in the iconic sea-facing bungalow, Mannat, in Bandra, Mumbai. Interestingly, Mannat even makes an appearance in the background of the song ‘Chaand Taare’ from their 1997 film Yes Boss.

This match was a perfect nail-biter and something which a lot of us won’t forget. Jasprit Bumrah in the end, Hardik Pandya, everyone – it was a team effort last night.”

He also talked about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retiring and said, “We won the World Cup, but sadly, we are losing two diamonds. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are retiring. It definitely breaks my heart and fans’ too.”

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.

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)”.
