Image
Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Ravie Dubey, producer Namit Malhotra, director Nitesh Tiwari and music maestro A R Rahman attended the musical event for their film Ramayana in Chennai. A R Rahman performed to the songs of the film and mesmerized the audience. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor clarified the goof-up he made the day before at a Dussehra event held in Kolkata as part of Ramayana promotions. At this event, Ranbir Kapoor mistakenly said, “ Burai chahe kitne bhi taaqatwar kyun na ho, aakhir mein anth sacchai aur acchaai ki hi hogi ”. The video went viral on social media, leading to a lot of trolling. Ranbir Kapoor began by saying, “Vanakkam, Chennai! Thank you for this love and energy. We really feel welcomed by all you beautiful people. Ramayana is a story that connects all of us through love, faith and our culture. I have had the privilege of working with the maestro, Mr Rahman, on two of my films ( Rockstar and Tamasha ). And both have been really special t...

EXCLUSIVE: Vishal Rana calls Tu Hai Meri Kiran “our answer to Obsession”; reveals why he didn’t remix Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Darr song: “Don’t want people to compare the two films”

Image
Vishal Rana is all set to release his next film, Tu Hai Meri Kiran , this Friday, October 23. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama , the producer spoke about the film’s casting, its catchy title, the crowded release date and a lot more. The first thing that stands out about Tu Hai Meri Kiran is that real-life couple Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are seen in a completely different dynamic. How did that come about? The script came to me, and I found it interesting as it had a lot of twists and revolved around an obsessive lover. We approached Sonakshi first, and she really liked the story. We wanted an actress in the 25-30 age group, and she fit the bill. Then it became a challenge to find an actor opposite her who could match her personality, aura, and demeanour. At the same time, the actor had to look more powerful than her, as he plays an obsessive, creepy stalker. We auditioned several actors, but we couldn’t find the one we were looking for. One day, I happe...

Image
Farhan Akhtar’s Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don: The Chase Begins Again  (2006) completed 20 years today. The film was a remake of Chandra Barot’s Don (1978), starring Amitabh Bachchan. Produced by Excel Entertainment and also starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Om Puri, Boman Irani, Arjun Rampal and Isha Koppikar, the action flick became a success at the box office. It was a major moment for mainstream Hindi cinema as sequels weren’t a regular feature back then.   Even after two decades, Don doesn’t appear old. A major reason for this is the visuals provided by cinematographer KU Mohanan. Interestingly, this was the first time he had worked in a mainstream commercial film. Mohanan revealed that there were apprehensions because of this before he came on board in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama . He said, “At that time, I was mainly doing advertising work. I was quite big in advertising films. Maybe, that’s why Farhan got an idea about my work. But he knew I hadn’t done a...
