Do You Know Shahid Kapoor Spooked His Vivah Co-Star Samir Soni? (Photo Credit – Amazon)

While modern-day Bollywood fans know Shahid Kapoor for his intense roles like Kabir Singh and Jersey, millennials remember him as the soft boy who would sweep the audience off the floor with his cute looks. With his debut film, Ishq-Vishk, he was instantly the talk of the tinsel town. But after a few films that did not do well at the box office, his career dwindled when Vivah was released. It turned the tide for him.

Vivah came out in the early part of Shahid’s career, and his chemistry with co-star Amrita Rao and Sooraj Barjatya’s simplistic direction touched a beautiful chord with the audience at that time.

If the actors in this industry struggle with something, it is age-specific and age-relevant roles. Everyone is waiting for that age-appropriate role, from Hema Malini to Jaya Bachchan and Dharmendra to Govinda. However, the tragedy is that once in a while, when this opportunity arrives for an actor who is a delight for a director, it gets compromised due to a badly written script.

If there is one man in the industry who has been nailing aged roles since his Jawani, it is Anupam Kher undoubtedly. Now, at an old age, he is finally playing an old man again, but the irony is this time,...

The desire to meet or greet him is clearly something that his fans will do anything for, and recently, a scammer took advantage of this feeling. A shocking incident that has gone viral involved...

Renowned actor Piyush Mishra recently addressed rumors swirling around his alleged replacement by Salman Khan in the iconic film “Maine Pyar Kiya.” Contrary to speculation, Mishra clarified that he was never cast for the role in the first place.

The veteran actor’s statement comes amidst ongoing speculation in the entertainment industry regarding casting decisions and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

While Salman Khan’s portrayal of the lead character Prem garnered widespread acclaim, rumors have persisted over the years suggesting alternative casting choices. Mishra’s recent statement brings clarity to one such speculation, putting...

In 1989, Salman Khan appeared as the leading hero for the first time in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya. The film also stars Bhagyashree, Reema Lagoo, Mohnish Bahl, Alok Nath, and others. It received terrific reviews and made Salman the superstar he is today. But did you know actor Piyush Mishra was first considered for the part?

Actor Piyush Mishra has acted in several Hindi movies, including Gulaal, Gangs of Wasseypur, Tamasha, Rockstar, Maqbool, and others. In an interview, Mishra revealed that Sooraj Barjatya’s father had approached him to play Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya.

It’s quite rare for actors to grow up on screen, but Farida Jalal is one such actor who has portrayed an array of characters in the space of the hero’s sister, a mother, and now a grandmother.

While Hollywood has Leonardo DiCaprio, who started his career at the age of 17, India has Rishi Kapoor, Kamal Haasan, Sridevi, and Farida Jalal. All of their careers are textbooks in cinematic longevity.

Farida started her journey at 17 with the film ‘Taqdeer’, a role offered to her by Tarachand Barjatya, grandfather of Sooraj Barjatya. How she was offered her first role has a story of its own, something that rarely happens to artistes. She was a part of the United Film Producers Talent Hunt, which she went on to win, where her co-finalist happened to be the first superstar of Hindi cinema, Rajesh Khanna.

Tarachand was sitting in the audience while Kaka...

They were supposed to work on three more films together – Padmavati, Bajirao Mastani, and Inshallah. The first two did not happen after Aishwarya Rai moved out of Salman’s life, and the last did not happen because Salman and Bhansali had creative differences.

Bhai and Bhansali share a love-hate relationship. They have always been vocal about each other’s strengths and weaknesses as well. It was once that the Sultan superstar commented on Bhansali’s harsh and rude way on sets and compared it to another filmmaker, Sooraj Barjatya.

In an interview with Rajshri Films, Salman Khan compared the working styles of Sooraj Barjatya and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and he revealed how he once suggested the...

Salman Khan’s Recent Spotting Has Made The Internet Troll Him(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Salman Khan was recently spotted in a rather jolly mood at the airport while he made a swift entry with his bodyguard, Shera. In fact, not only Bhaijaan but his companion was also seen in a jolly mood. However, the superstar’s look concerned his fans, while others found it a moment to troll him.

While Salman stepped out of his car, his protruding belly and out-of-shape body were captured on camera. He also donned a cap, with very short hair. He briskly walked towards the entry, and the security guard seemed overwhelmed at meeting the superstar.

Salman Khan’s protruding belly was noticed by many, and people trolled the superstar left, right, and center. Netizens even fat-shamed the Sultan actor. The video is going viral on the internet, and people are reacting to the same.

Box Office – Fighter drops on Friday, should jump again over the weekend(Photo Credit –YouTube)

On Thursday, Siddharth Anand directed Fighter, which brought in around 2.50 crores at the box office. Considering the fact it was anyways playing on the lower side, it was expected that Friday would stay on the same lines as well, something that had happened in the week gone by as well. Even if there was a drop coming, at least 2-2.50 crores seemed on the cards. However, what happened was a bit surprising since the collections came down to 1.75 crores.

Agreed that Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya was released this Friday, which means for the first time in its run Fighter did have competition. Still, it isn’t as if the Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer had set the box office on fire. There was still a lot of capacity available, considering the wide...

Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya’s movie isn’t happening anymore(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya have given the audience some family dramas to enjoy together. In Sooraj’s movie, Salman is not “macho” like his other movies. The actor-director has given hits like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Hum Saath Saath Hai and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. A few years ago, reports stated that the superstar would join hands with Sooraj again. But the latest update says it might not happen anymore.

Salman and Sooraj’s last movie together was Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in 2015. Their fans have been eagerly waiting to see Salman’s beloved Prem back in a Barjatya directorial. The film would’ve marked 5th film of the actor-director duo together. However, a Mid Day report reveals that the duo are no longer working together. The reason cited for their movie...

Salman Khan Was Once Miffed By Sandeep Reddy Vanga (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)

Salman Khan is one of those people who is very particular about his panga. If you miff Bhaijaan once, then it is very difficult to get back to his good books. So kudos to Sandeep Reddy Vanga for pulling this stunt. Recent reports suggest that the animal filmmaker has approached Bhaijaan for a dark broody film. Reports further say that Bhai is very interested in the script and might sign the dotted line.

Well, this will definitely be a major move on with time. Salman was miffed by the director and his film Animal. For those who have come late, when Ranbir Kapoor signed the dotted line for the gangster drama, this violent film was not titled Animal.

When Sandeep Reddy Vanga signed Ranbir Kapoor for the blockbuster gangster drama, it was titled Devil. And no points...

Kareena Kapoor Khan Was Supposed To Do Karan Johar’s Kal Ho Naa Ho After K3G (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)

Kareena Kapoor Khan is an actress who never used to shy away from demands and dared to quote the highest. The good part was she used to get what she quoted, and the bad part was she missed a lot of good stuff because of such demands. One such film was Kal Ho Naa Ho, which had a massive repercussion on her personal bond with Karan Johar.

The story of Bebo rejecting Kal Ho Naa Ho had two faces – one that was Karan Johar’s side that the world knows, and the second was Bebo’s side, which she once revealed brutally, making sure that the world knows she was cheated. For starters, the world knows that after K3G, Kareena was supposed to do Kal Ho Naa Ho for Karan Johar.

Indian streamer SonyLIV has unveiled a slate of more than 20 new and returning shows for 2024 and is expanding its content focus.

Salman Khan’s Day 1 At The Box Office: Maine Pyar Kiya’s Opening Day Collection(Photo Credit –IMDb)

It was 34 years ago that Salman Khan entered the film industry as a lead actor on December 29, 1989. He came, he saw, and he conquered with his debut film Maine Pyar Kiya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, who also made his debut in the film industry. The third debutante from this film was Bhagyashree.

Now, as Salman stepped onto the silver screen, the opening numbers hinted at hopeful numbers at the box office. However, with this film, Bhaijaan became a breakthrough box office star, which was something none imagined.

In fact, when Salman Khan auditioned for Prem’s role for the first time, he was eventually rejected. His audition clip for the film is viral all over the internet. But maybe Sooraj Barjatya saw Prem’s innocence in him, and the film came back to Salman when Armaan Kohli,...

When Sooraj Barjatya helmed his debut ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ with Salman Khan and Bhagyashree in the lead, also debuting, Sooraj as well as Salman and Bhagyashree probably did not have any baggage and pressure to deliver. Salman and Bhagyashree looked visibly innocent and submitted themselves to the story, script and the captain of the ship, Sooraj. That worked big time then. On the other hand the trio of Avnish, Rajveer and Paloma, debuting with ‘Dono’ are from the era of Internet – followers, trolls, and ofcourse the pressure to keep up to the expectations for the legacy that they hail from.

There aren’t many lucky youngsters who get to helm a film without bothering about its outcome and still have a lavish budget at their hands. Fortunately for these three, they are! They are so very lucky that the Rajshris, who are known to make absolutely clean films, has a...
