Manoj Bajpayee confirms The Family Man 3 will stream this October or November

Image
The question every fan of the Family Man franchise is asking: when is The Family Man 3 streaming? Manoj Bajpayee has now confirmed that the much-awaited third season of the massively popular Amazon Prime series will begin streaming in the last week of October or the first week of November. “The shooting is complete,” Bajpayee shared. “When we started, we had no idea The Family Man would go this far. Is it the most popular work I’ve done? I would say, most definitely, yes. Although I’ve done some other excellent series on OTT, like Abhishek Chaubey’s Killer Soup , the reach of The Family Man has gone beyond anything I’ve experienced.” The actor is confident that Season 3 will match — if not exceed — expectations. “All I can say at this moment is that those who loved Seasons 1 and 2 won’t be disappointed. If the highlight of Season 2 was Samantha, then Season 3 belongs to Jaideep Ahlawat. What a fine actor! I love working with actors who are as dedicated to getting it right as I a...

EXCLUSIVE: Deepak Tijori ECSTATIC for his first ever nomination in his 35-year-old career for Echoes Of Us; BREAKS silence on 90s snubs: “I was never nominated for Aashiqui, Sadak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa…after a point, I stopped checking the nominations…

Image
Deepak Tijori is on cloud nine. He has been nominated for the Best Actor award at the Independent Short Awards, Los Angeles, USA for his role in the short film  Echoes Of Us . One might wonder why anyone would celebrate a nomination. But then, this is a significant development in the 35-year-long career of the actor as this is his first ever nomination. How come an actor who has given several memorable performances and been a part of several loved films has never even been nominated, forget winning the award? Deepak Tijori spoke exclusively to  Bollywood Hungama  about this and a lot more. Congratulations on the honour at the Independent Short Awards … (Smiles). Thanks. It’s a nomination. I have not yet won the award. There was a time in my life in the 90s when I was working on a lot of films. After my films became super-hits, I used to look at the list of nominations. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find my name in any of the films I’ve worked on, including  Aashiqui ...

Avinash Tiwary wonders why his work feels loved but still overlooked; says, “It is something I have not been able to understand”

Image
Avinash Tiwary has just finished filming Ginny Weds Sunny 2 , his first solo commercial movie to hit theaters since Laila Majnu in 2018. Although he has found success over the past two years with shows like Bambai Meri Jaan, Khakee, and Kaala, as well as movies like Madgaon Express (2024) and Sikandar Ka Muqaddar (2024), the actor still feels that “something is lacking.” Avinash Tiwary said, “Sab kuch hote hote kuch bhi fatt kyun nahin raha hai, I am not understanding. Most of my works, they’ve almost been loved by everyone who have seen it, but why only few have seen, it is something I have not been able to understand. It feels like every work that I do, it doesn’t get its due at that point and then it happens later. Apne yahaan jab tak Mumbai mein aawaz nahi hoti, logon ko pata hi nahi chalta ki kuch hua hai.” Would you say that having more OTT projects recently influenced your decision to choose a theatrical release with Ginny Weds Sunny 2, perhaps to move away from the ‘OTT a...

Aamir Khan starrer Sitaare Zameen Par screens at world’s highest altitude theatre in Ladakh for autistic children

Image
Two months after Aamir Khan expressed concern about Indian films not reaching all parts of the country, his latest comedy drama Sitaare Zameen Par reached a new milestone by being screened at the world’s highest-altitude theatre, located at 11,562 ft in Ladakh. A special screening of Sitaare Zameen Par was held at Picturetime’s mobile digital cinema hall in Ladakh for children with autism and their parents. The event was attended by seven children, 18 parents, and four staff members from Dr. Daichin’s Hopeful Steps Clinic, which organized the screening. As expected, the children enjoyed the film, laughing along as they followed Aamir and the kids on their adventure. Meanwhile, the parents shared an emotional experience watching the RS Prasanna-directed drama in the hills, where big-screen entertainment is not easily available. Sushil Chaudhary, Founder & CEO, Picturetime said, “During the Waves Summit, Aamir Khan had spoken about the deep emotional power of cinema and how it ...

Aamir Khan reveals, “I am singing two songs in my next comedy”

Image
If there is one tireless explorer in Indian cinema, it is Aamir Khan. Way back in 1998, he was the first Khan superstar to sing in his voice in Vikram Bhatt’s Ghulam . Now 27 years later, Aamir is back singing on screen. This time his voice trained and ready to take on the singing vocation professionally. Said Aamir, “When I sang ‘Aati kya khandala’, I did it for a lark. I was lucky it worked. Now, I’ve been properly training to be a singer for some years now. It’s a for an untitled comedy. Let me tell you what kind of film it is. It is a Basu Chatterjee or Hrishikesh Mukherjee genre of film, which I feel that we have forgotten making. You know, we don’t make that kind of cinema anymore. Sweet, innocent comedy. And, you know, the stakes of a film like this are never too high. No one’s going to die or anything in the plot. It’d be a really warm, wonderful feeling you get when you watch the film.” Aamir plays a cameo in the sweet-natured comedy. But that is not what...

Karan Tacker opens up about his special bond with Delhi and it’s food: “North Indian food in Delhi just tastes so different from anywhere else in India”

Karan Tacker, a native of Delhi, experiences a unique bond with the city every time he visits. “My first attack, when I come to Delhi, is not on work. It’s always on finding the closest outlet for the things that I’d like to eat,” said the 39-year-old, who was in the capital recently. Once in the city, Karan finds it hard to resist indulging in Dilli ka khana: “North Indian food in Delhi just tastes so different from anywhere else in India!” The actor, recognized for his roles in web series like Special Ops and Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, moved to Mumbai when he was just about a year old. “It’s so funny… I’m not from Delhi, but for some odd reason, I just feel like I’m back home every time I come here. This is actually due to a whole bunch of things,” he reflected. Reminiscing about the many “memorable summer vacations” he spent in the city, the actor shared, “We used to always go back to my daddy’s house. My mother’s family is also in Delhi… My association comes from some really wa...
