Taapsee Pannu, known for her diverse film choices, recently reflected on the completion of eight years since the release of Naam Shabana. The 2017 action-spy thriller saw her take on an intense and physically demanding role, a rare choice for Bollywood actresses at the time. Taapsee, who had previously played Shabana in Baby (2015), shared how the overwhelming response to her character led to the creation of Naam Shabana. “The response that my character received in Baby made the filmmakers plan an entire film based on Shabana aka Meera. Frankly, there was no sequel or prequel.” Directed by Shivam Nair, Naam Shabana followed the journey of Shabana, a young woman recruited by an intelligence agency and rigorously trained to eliminate a dangerous arms dealer. The film was praised for its gripping storyline and action sequences, with Taapsee performing several stunts herself. Akshay Kumar, who appeared in the film, had previously commended her action skills. “Taapsee did a tremendous jo...

I regard these as among my best work,” he said. The actor added, “Abhishek Chaubey is one of the best contemporary directors of this country. I feel Abhishek taps into those aspects of my personality, which even I am not aware of. He just lets his actors deep-dive into their characters, not afraid of what they would come up with. The only other director who gives his actors so much space to innovate is Shekhar Kapur. While doing Killer Soup we knew we were doing something that has never been attempted before. In the short film Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa, I just prepared in collaboration with my di...

Prithviraj Sukumaran, the acclaimed Malayalam actor and filmmaker, recently heaped praise on Priyanka Chopra’s performance in the 2012 film Barfi! during a conversation with Instant Bollywood. When asked about his favorite film of the actor, he promptly named Barfi! and lauded her remarkable portrayal of an autistic girl. Prithviraj Sukumaran reveals why Priyanka Chopra is one of his favourite actresses “Barfi! It is one of the finest performances by any lead actor—male or female—in Indian cinema, in the past 25 years. I know Ranbir’s performance was amazing, but I don’t think Priyanka’s was as spoken about as much as Ranbir’s. That character Priyanka did in Barfi! was a very thin line to walk. An inch left or inch right, it really would have really fallen flat. But my God, she did a mind-blowing job,” said Prithviraj. About Barfi! Barfi!, directed by Anurag Basu, featured Ranbir Kapoor in the titular role alongside Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D’Cruz. The film revolves around the li...

John Abraham recently opened up about his film The Diplomat and his decision to avoid traditional promotional tactics. In an interview on Bollywood Hungama’s Light, Camera, Podcast, John reflected on staying away from excessive publicity, a choice that sets him apart from many actors. Acknowledging that John had never actively sought media attention, he only began interviews after The Diplomat’s release and positive reception, unlike other actors who frequently engage in city tours and mall visits for promotions. Addressing his approach, John stated, “I don’t have a publicist. But I have a personal relationship. I really had to fight this battle with my people when The Diplomat was being released. They said, ‘Interviews karo, interviews karo, interviews karo,’ and I said, ‘Yes, I get you.’ And this is what I explained to my director also—that by doing more interviews, it doesn’t mean you’re marketing a film. Because interviews are promotion, and promotions are only one of the four Ps...

The film, which also starred Minissha Lamba, Sonali Kulkarni and Ravi Kishan, completed 15 years yesterday. On the film’s anniversary, Boman Irani went down memory lane on working with Benegal. Your only film with Shyam Benegal is now 15 years old Well Done Abba, and I don't say this loosely, I don't say this lightly, that Well Done Abba was one of the greatest working experiences in my life. The moment I was first called, I mean, I literally stood at attention. What was it like working with Benegal? It was my first lead role, to make matters more exciting for me. And when you're talking to Mr Benegal, you know, you're talking to greatness. I mean, there's no secret about it. But he never lets you feel that he was the man with all that genius and all that experience and with that legacy that he has behind him. He spoke to you as an equal, as he did with every sin...

Even the pranks, which we call pranks, those pranks also had originality. So, th...

Salman Khan spoke his heart out during the group interaction held at a five-star hotel in Mumbai as part of promotions of Sikandar. At the very beginning of the interaction, he was asked about the value of family and he gave a lovely answer with regards to his parents, that is, father Salim Khan and mother Salma Khan. Salman began by saying, “My mother and father belonged to different cultures and religions. But the issue was not that my father was a Muslim while my mother was a Hindu. The problem was that ‘Yeh aadmi film industry ka hai’! My nana had a problem that he was from the film industry, not because of anything else.” Salma Khan’s father didn’t have good relations with Salim Khan and Salma after marriage. Salman Khan continued, “It was when Sohail was born that (my nana and my father bonded). My nana loved my father so much that he said, ‘Meri life ki sabse badi galti yeh hui ki I wasted 5 years’.” He further revealed, “One my mom fought with my fath...

The Babbar family has been making headlines ever since Prateik Babbar tied the knot with actress Priya Banerjee. However, what truly sparked debate was Prateik’s decision to drop his father Raj Babbar’s surname and instead adopt his late mother Smita Patil’s name, now officially going by Prateik Smita Patil.

And what name he doesn’t want to keep and what name he wants to keep is his choice.” Aarya further elaborated, saying, “Kal ko main uthke apna naam Aarya Babbar se Aarya karlun, ya Rajesh kar lun. Main tab bhi Babbar hi rahunga na? (Tomorrow, if I wake up and change my name from Aarya Babbar to just Aarya, or even Rajesh, I'll still be a Babbar, won't I?).” He stated that while names can be changed, one's identity remains constant. “Aap apna na...

You experienced immense success on OTT with Jubilee. What prompted you to return with Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, despite your superstardom on the big screen? I said yes for two reasons. First, of course, is Neeraj Pandey, whom I have known for a very long time. I’ve always wanted to work with him, and we share a great friendship. That was one part of it. The second reason is the character—I loved its sketch and depth. But more importantly, as someone who represents Bengal, I felt this was a significant project. After a long time, we have a major OTT production focusing on Bengal—Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. The show brings together a lot of local talent, technicians, and of course, the essence of Kolkata. The depiction of Kolkata in Khakee is quite striking. Yes, I think the way they have captured the locations is truly interesting. The visuals feel fresh and untouched in a way. I really wanted Khakee: The Bengal Chapter to be made, and when they asked me to be a part of it, I couldn’...

Sikandar Kher is on a roll with three diverse projects lined up. The talented actor is currently shooting three films simultaneously—Sriram Raghavan’s much-anticipated war drama Ikkis, the quirky comedy Baby Do Die Do, produced by Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi, and the romantic entertainer Jassi Weds Jassi. Ideally, Sikandar prefers not to take on too many projects at once as he likes to focus on different characters individually. However, he also doesn’t believe in saying no to work and is grateful for the opportunities coming his way. Speaking about his whirlwind schedule, Sikandar shared, “Currently, I don’t have the luxury of doing one film at a time, but don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. Being on set, working and having my films and shows release is the only thing I want. The roles I am doing right now are very different from one another and I am enjoying the process. To be honest, it wouldn’t be too bad if the dates work out so well that neither overlapped. Then again th...

Aamir Khan recently revealed that he was initially hesitant to sign Dangal (2016), despite its eventual success. He jokingly speculated that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan might have sent the director with the script to sabotage his career. In an interview with chat with Just Too Filmy, Aamir Khan, stated that he chooses films based on instinct rather than audience expectations. He cited Lagaan, Peepli Live, and Dangal as projects driven by personal conviction rather than box-office trends. Aamir Khan revealed that despite loving the Dangal script, he was hesitant to play Mahavir Singh Phogat. Coming off Dhoom 3, where he looked younger and fitter, he was unsure about portraying an ageing, bulky father. Aamir Khan jokingly admitted that he initially suspected Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari had been sent by Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan to sabotage his career. “Mujhe laga yeh Salman ya Shah Rukh ke log hain, jo mujhe baahar karna chahte hain,” he quipped. He even suggested waiting 10...

How do you feel about Anaarkali of Aarah eight years down the line? It’s been eight years since Anaarkali of Aarah was released, yet it feels like it happened just yesterday. The memories from that time—the sounds, the images, the emotions—still echo within me with undiminished clarity. In some corner of my mind, time seems to have stood still, and I remain that same first-time filmmaker, watching the world I created unfold on a screen for the very first time. For me, Anaarkali of Aarah wasn’t just a film. It was a flight, a dream, a defiant poem woven from the threads of resistance, truth, and longing. A debut film is always a landmark in a filmmaker’s life, but this one—this one was a declaration of intent. It wasn’t only a story I wanted to tell; it was the voice I had carried in me for years, waiting for its moment to burst forth. Tell me about the genesis of this compelling film. Crossing over from journalism into filmmaking is no small leap. Journalism gave me my politics, my le...

In a detailed note posted on his social media, Johar praised the four-episode series as a “blasterclass for parents,” speaking of its relevance in today’s digital era and its profound impact on him both as a filmmaker and as a father to twins. A Personal Reflection on Parenting Johar began his review by delving into the complexities of raising children. “I have always known that raising a child is as much a blessing as it is an arduous responsibility,” he wrote. “No book or podcast can prepare you or teach you to be the best version of yourself as a parent … what you need to first be is the best version of YOURSELF.” He highlighted how a parent’s words, actions, habits, and beliefs inevitably shape their children, noting, “They are embodiments of yo...

Now they are saying that there is a 31-year difference between the heroine and me. Arey jab heroine ko problem nahin hai, heroine ke father ko problem nahin hai, toh tumko kyun problem hai bhai?” he quipped, translating to: “When the heroine has no problem with it, and her father has no issue, why should it bother you, brother?” His witty response was met with cheers and applause from the...

Game Changers, hosted by film trade analyst Komal Nahta, features insightful conversations with prominent figures from the entertainment industry. In a recent episode, National Award-winning filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari shared how the team faced a challenge while writing Dangal, as the audience already knew Geeta would win the gold medal, and they needed to make the story more engaging. On Komal Nahta's Game Changers podcast, Nitesh Tiwari revealed, “It was very alarming for us as writers as the audience knew that Geeta was going to win the gold. Now how do we make it a little difficult or different for the audience? So when what is known, how becomes important.” The filmmaker further explained that they decided to keep Mahavir Singh out of the finals, and wrote five different versions of how that could happen. This twist made the audience wonder not if Geeta would win, but how she would win without her father's presence. He further added, “We decided Mahavir Singh cannot be there...

In an interview with Hauterrfly, Avneet has now responded to these rumours. Speaking about her puberty journey, Avneet shared, “I feel like I’ve grown up in front of the camera.

There’s a huge difference between then and now. Now I’m 23, so of course there’s bound to be a difference. You hit puberty, your features change, and you grow up.” She also dismissed the rumours about undergoing cosmetic procedures and revealed the secret to her beauty. She explained, “I don’t get fillers, but I do get facials, and I definitely take care of my skin. ...

This production house allowed him to start a small side business and this is how Tarachand began distributing films. Sooraj Barjatya said, “Whenever I used to talk to him (Tarachand Barjatya), he used to have tears in his eyes when he would speak about Gemini Pictures.

There is something ineradicably moving about Firaaq, isn't there? Yes, Firaaq will always remain very special to me because it was my first film and because the subject is very close to my heart. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. You know, as a first-time filmmaker, handling five different stories with five sets of actors and five different locations was not easy. Didn’t you feel that was too much on your plate for your first film? I didn't realize what I was getting into, but I was driven by the desire, the passion, and the intent to tell that story. Violence deeply disturbs me—physically, psychologically, and emotionally. I believe we can create empathy when we understand why people feel fear or are vulnerable. One of the most powerful things cinema can do is to invoke empathy for a more compassionate world. That’s my hope—that I can contribute, even if just a drop, to that ocean. Shooting with so many accomplished actors, and that too in tough loca...
