Karan Johar pens emotional note on New Year’s Eve for best friend and Dharma Productions’ CEO Apoorva Mehta for his contribution towards their banner

Now he’s doing lead roles, so I wouldn’t offer it to him. Sham (Vicky’s father and action director Sham Kaushal) didn’t say anything.” “That night, I got a call from Vicky, and he said, ‘How could you tell dad that you can’t offer the role to me?’ He met me the very next day, and it was kind of him to take on that role. It also showed what a good actor can do with a role like that, and Vicky made the biggest difference to the film,” he added. Befor Dunki, Vicky Kaushal was a part of Sanju starring

The highs and lows of Rajesh Khanna: Birth Anniversary Special

There are many stories about Rajesh Khanna, some true, others not. One of the tragically true ones is about how he made Gulzar wait the entire night for a story narration. The poet, who sleeps at 9 pm, waited with mounting impatience for the superstar to emerge from the inner chambers from his castle where Gulzar Saab could hear sounds of inebriated merriment. He finally left at 2 am to never return again. The story above epitomizes the downfall of Indian cinema’s biggest superstar, whose 81st birth anniversary took place on December 29. Rajesh Khanna's golden period lasted exactly three years. But the country never known a bigger star. Between 1969 and 1971, Rajesh Khanna was the undisputed king of the world. And he never let anyone forget it. As hit after hit flowed out of his repertoire, Khanna climbed to a position where all his contemporaries began to feel seriously left out in the rat race.

Age is just a number now and it shouldn’t even be discussed. Y’all are not asking

Shah Rukh Khan opens up about playing older characters in Jawan and Dunki: “I am 58 now. Mujhe age-centric roles karne chahiye”; also jokes “Main itna young lagta hoon ki log mujhe older roles dena nahin chahte”

Shah Rukh Khan’s September 2023 film Jawan and the recent release Dunki are poles apart, in terms of scale, grandeur and commercial elements. However, in both films, Shah Rukh Khan plays both a younger character and also its older version. SRK, in a rare instance, answered some media queries as part of the promotions of Dunki. He was asked whether it was deliberate that he chose to play older characters in his recent films. Shah Rukh Khan said, “No, it’s not a conscious effort. I am 58 now. Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki mujhe age-centric roles karne chahiye. If I get an opportunity in a film (then why not). The older character in Jawan is more in-your-face. I won’t call it a caricature but it’s an over-the-top old person. In Dunki, it’s quite real. In Dunki, it’s about a soldier ka vaada. So, it’s a journey of a character and that is the most intriguing quality of the film. It spans 25 years.” Shah Rukh Khan continued, “I would say that I have been age-honest the first time in Dunki. I don

The biggest clash of the year will take place this week. While Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki releases on Thursday, December 21, Salaar, starring Prabhas, will arrive in cinemas on Friday, December 22. Trade analyst Atul Mohan is confident that Dunki is set for a historic opening, “It can have an opening of Rs. 50 crores.” He explained, “The advance trend is good. There’s Shah Rukh Khan as the lead and moreover, Rajkumar Hirani is the director. After Pathaan and Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan is on a different level altogether. As for Rajkumar Hirani, the business of his films is always greater than his last flick. Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006) collected more than Munna Bhai MBBS (2003). 3 Idiots (2009) did many times more than Lage Raho Munna Bhai. PK (2014) broke 3 Idiots’ record. Sanju (2018) also collected more than PK.” The other experts felt Dunki’s opening will be below Rs. 40 crores but also added that for a film of this kind, it’s a positive sign.
