Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes story from the making of Rockstar , revealing that music maestro A.R. Rahman once suggested that Ranbir Kapoor should sing the film’s songs himself. The revelation came through an audio note shared by Imtiaz on Instagram.

As audiences continue to celebrate the return of old-school Bollywood entertainers, conversations around the colourful and unapologetically dramatic style of 1990s Hindi cinema have also resurfaced. Actor Pooja Hegde, who will be seen in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai , recently reflected on the fashion trends that defined the era and the stars who made them memorable. According to Pooja, the biggest difference between 90s Bollywood fashion and today’s style landscape was the confidence with which actors carried even the most unconventional looks. “90s Bollywood fashion had personality,” she said. “Nobody was trying to look subtle. Everything was dramatic, colourful and completely committed to its zany world.” The actor also revisited one of the most recognisable fashion phases associated with Salman Khan.

Actor Rhea Chakraborty has opened up about the emotional impact that Aryan Khan’s arrest had on her, revealing that the episode brought back painful memories of her own legal troubles and the time she and her brother, Showik Chakraborty, spent in jail. Speaking to Variety India, Rhea shared that she reached out to Aryan during the high-profile case, admitting that watching the events unfold reminded her of one of the most difficult periods of her life. “I did. When I saw what Aryan was going through, it took me back because it was spectacularly similar. In fact, more than my story, it looked a lot like Showik’s story. They also have a resemblance.
