Riding high on the success of Pathaan, filmmaker Siddharth Anand has now given two back-to-back blockbusters. After War and Pathaan, he has become the undisputed number-one director of his genre in India. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone & John Abraham, the film has already collected Rs. 591 crores gross worldwide! But, the film did face its fair share of controversies especially when boycott calls were made after ‘Besharam Rang’ was released. Several outfits had raised objections to Deepika Padukone wearing a saffron bikini. Speaking to Deadline, when asked if he was worried about the negativity around Pathaan ahead of its release, he said, “All I know is they tried to boycott Pathaan and audiences came out in large numbers and supported it. I think if you’re going to boycott something or raise your voice against it, there has to be some merit in that. It has to be substantiated with some facts and some reality. What they were trying to do with Pathaan was just ridiculous

Earlier today we had reported that the Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor starrer Bawaal that was slated to release on April 7 has been pushed further due to VFX and technical issues. However, now it seems that another film has taken over the same release date. Featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Mrunal Thakur for the first time together, Gumraah will be taking over the same release date. Gumraah is expected to be a crime thriller that will showcase a massive face-off between Aditya Roy Kapur and Mrunal Thakur. While the lead cast will come together for the first time, another interesting thing to watch in the film will be the dual role of the actor. Aditya has never played a double-role before and he will be seen in two distinct characters in the film whereas Mrunal will essay the character of a cop. Earlier, Aditya Roy Kapur had spoken about the film saying, “I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and

Love Jihad, whatever that means, is the theme of Anurag Kashyap’s new film Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat. Debutant Karan Mehta plays a Muslim boy in an intense relationship with Alaya F who plays a Hindu girl. Kashyap has spared the audience none of the ugliness that such a relationship generates among social-media bouncers, the self-styled guardian of morality. In the hard-hitting powerful and pertinent film a bigot is heard commenting snidely, “These people first talk about Mohabbat. Then they talk about Mohammed.” Happily and surprisingly, the Central Board Of Film Certification gave the film a ‘UA’ certificate with no cuts: a rare non-‘A’ film of Kashyap. So far Kashyap and his team have kept the Love Jihad part of the plot out of all media interaction. But the cat is now out of the bag.

With a career spanning over 2 decades, Sheykhar Ravjiani, one of India’s leading music composers and singers, is all set to explore different horizons. Fresh off the success of the music of the mega-hit Pathaan, Sheykhar has launched his own Indie record label - ‘Garuudaa Musiic’. The idea of starting his own record label has been a dream Sheykhar has nurtured for a long time. When the entire world went under lockdown, he had a chance to take a break from the world of film music and reconnect with a creative process that took him back to his early days as a musician. He rediscovered a happy space where he could make the kind of music that is filled with honesty, the kind of music that wants nothing but to make people smile.

With Garuudaa Musiic, I am looking forward to composing, singing and collaborating on the kind of music that deeply inspires me. It's a distinc

Shah Rukh Khan is special, and that is a truth, not just an opinion, look no further than Pathaan. In a way that only a legend like Shah Rukh Khan can achieve, Pathaan has swept not only India but the entire world like a cinematic cyclone. Pathaan, a Bollywood film that is quickly rising to the top of the list of the most profitable films in Indian cinema history, has already surpassed the 400 crore rupee mark and shows no signs of slowing down. Shah Rukh Khan, in contrast to King Khan, is synonymous with alluring appearances and romanticism. Badshah of Bollywood unquestionably leads the fashion game by establishing undoubtedly stylish fashion trends that are the ideal direction for working men and college boys to plan their fashion calendars. Even his team holds this opinion. We cannot take our eyes off of Shah Rukh Khan in the photo that his manager Pooja Dadlani shared in praise of him.

Randeep Hooda recently made headlines owing to an injury while riding a horse. He reportedly fainted and suffered serious injuries. However, upon recovery, he decided to get his thinking cap on and went into writing mode - creating stories and poems. The actor has penned many short stories inspired by real life just in the span of his injury recovery. Talking about the same, Randeep said, "I can vouch now that the left side of your brain (knee) makes you more creative. Since I was playing a writer on screen it seemed like a natural thing to do while recovering.” “It becomes difficult to be at absolute rest, and hence, I found a way to utilize my time in writing instead and I can definitely tell you that one of the scariest things in life is to sit with a pen with blank page in front of you,” he added. Meanwhile, Randeep was last seen in the Netflix series CAT, which made it to most watched lists. The series, created by Balwinder Singh Janjua, marked the actor's second collabor

As the last race for captaincy has kept everyone on their toes in Colors Bigg Boss 16, the competition and drama is getting intense by the day. Bigg Boss master has offered a chance to let the housemates control each other’s fates with a task that involves a television-cassette-remote setup. The other dramatic incident that takes place is the huge fight that erupts between Archana Gautam and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia when the two of them argued over using up each other’s ration. Talking about the captaincy task, in the garden area, there’s a makeshift television that features contestants and the master of the house will decide who gets the chance to eliminate whom from the captaincy race by bombing the contestant with a remote control. The twist is that after having observed the housemates for 17 weeks, Bigg Boss master knows the equations that they share, and will be harnessing this knowledge for pitting contestants against each other. However, just like any other task, this one too will

Over the years, singer Kailash Kher has mesmerised audiences with his soulful voice. Besides his songs for films, his independent music pieces have also received a lot of love from his fans. A section of his fans keeps a tab on all of his upcoming events so that they can see their favourite singer performing live.

Shehzada is among the most anticipated Bollywood films of the year and why not – it marks the return of Kartik Aaryan to the big screen after the blockbuster success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa. While the trailer and music of the film has been trending across all the digital platforms, Bollywood Hungama has discovered that Shehzada, which was announced to arrive on February 10, 2023, has now been delayed by a week. “Pathaan is doing unimaginable business at the box office in India and is finally the Bollywood film that can break the records of Baahubali 2. The film is doing record-breaking business in India and Kartik Aaryan feels it will be unfair to release just 2 weeks after a film that’s doing so well for the film industry. Out of respect to Shah Rukh Khan, and the fact of both films eating on to each other’s business, Kartik and Shehzada producers have decided to delay the film by a week,” a source told Bollywood Hungama. The Shehzada team is confident that this move will benefit both Path

Abhay had denied this.  Anurag had revealed shortly after Sushant's death that he had refused to speak with him about a project because he was resentful of being ghosted by the actor in the past. The filmmaker discussed his differences with Abhay and Sushant in a new interview with Showsha. He said, “It’s taken me a year-and-a-half of sickness to realise a lot of things. I was so reactive; I would say things. I would say things out of anger, out of reaction, to things I felt perturbed by. It took me time to realise that I’m shouting, I’m shouting in a room full of people shouting. Nobody’s listening to each other, not just to me. Tha
