Debuts around the same time, undeniable talent, and charming screen presence - it's no wonder Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor were constantly compared in the early years of their careers. Both Imran and Ranbir entered Bollywood around 2007, Ranbir with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya and Imran with Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. However, as Imran himself revealed in a recent interview, these comparisons weren't something either actor truly subscribed to. As Imran shared, the comparisons left an "unpleasant aftertaste." He never saw Ranbir as a competition, and according to their conversations, the feeling was mutual. In a recent conversation with India Today, Imran recognized Ranbir's dedication to his craft, his passion as a "cinephile" (a film lover), and his disinterest in the gossip-driven comparisons. “Unfortunately, it would always leave a very unpleasant aftertaste because that’s not how I viewed it and from my conversations with Ranbir back then, h

I am trained in Kathak, which is a very different form.

Trade experts explain what went wrong with Tiger Shroff: “If you pick up his first film and his recent release Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, you won’t see any growth in him as an actor”

Tiger Shroff completed 10 years in Bollywood on May 23. The actor had a stunning debut and became the darling of the masses in no time. But his last three films were disasters at the box office. The debacle of his latest release, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, especially has hit him hard. As per recent reports, he is left with no film and might have to reduce his fee. Bollywood Hungama spoke to trade experts to understand what went wrong with the actor, who was considered the next superstar. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, explained, “Tiger broke out with Heropanti (2014). No one expected it to do well. A similar kind of launch happened for Sooraj Pancholi with Hero (2015). He was launched with much more fanfare than Tiger. Heropanti had a much quieter release but it managed to be a success. Baaghi (2016) was a bigger hit. Then, he was seen in A Flying Jatt (2016) and Munna Michael (2017). Though these films flopped, they opened well in single screens. With Baaghi
