Sunny Deol Nervous to Play Hanuman in ₹835 Cr Ramayana

June 24, 2025, 11:00 am

Actor Sunny Deol has officially confirmed that he will portray Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious film Ramayana. In a recent interview, Deol shared that filming would begin soon and admitted he was both excited and nervous to take on the divine role.

“Definitely, I’m playing the role and it will be exciting and fun. I’m going to be shooting very shortly. I think it’s going to be great and beautiful. As a matter of fact, after this, I’m going to go and watch a little bit of what they’ve done,” Sunny said.

‘Nervous but Excited’ to Play Hanuman in Ramayana

He also confessed, “Nervousness and fear are always there, but that’s the beauty of it because you have to find within you how will you take up the challenge.”

Speaking about the scale of Ramayana, Sunny said he’s confident in the production team. “I am sure the producers are doing a great job as they are going to bring out the supernatural things properly on the screen. I keep my fingers crossed and hope that they are nothing less than what Hollywood has,” he said.

“Ramayan has been made so many times, and when this film comes on the screen and the way all the actors are involved in it, I’m sure they’ll do justice to the epic, and people will be satisfied and they will enjoy the film.”

Deol also spoke highly of co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Ram in the film. “I think it’s going to be great because he’s such a fine actor. He always commits fully to any project he takes up,” he added.

Sunny Talks Lahore 1947 and Aamir Khan’s Involvement

Before Ramayana, Sunny is also working on Lahore 1947, a long-anticipated film with director Rajkumar Santoshi. He shared that Aamir Khan approached him to produce the movie.

“This subject has been with Raj and me for many years. We had been trying to make a film on this for many years, but it wasn’t happening. After Gadar 2, it became possible,” Sunny said. “Aamir came to me straight away and told me that he would want to do this film, and I was very happy.”

Ramayana reportedly has a budget of ₹835 crore and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, and Yash.

Ramayana Set for Lavish Makeover with Ranbir, Sai Pallavi, Yash in Key Roles

June 9, 2025, 1:56 pm

Director Nitesh Tiwari is gearing up for one of India’s biggest films. He cast Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Sita in the upcoming Ramayana trilogy.

According to Bollywood Hungama, this film could become the costliest Indian film ever. Reportedly, the budget may go up to ₹835 crore. A source explained, “The film requires 600 days of post-production work, which in itself speaks volumes about the investment required to create some of the most original visuals.”

Star-Studded Cast Expected

Meanwhile, a report from The Siasat Daily shared a potential list of cast members. Though the official confirmation is pending, the lineup includes:

Ranbir Kapoor – Lord Ram
Sai Pallavi – Sita
Yash – Ravana
Sunny Deol – Hanuman
Ravi Dubey – Lakshman
Lara Dutta – Kaikeyi
Rakul Preet Singh – Shurpanakha
Kajal Aggarwal – Mandodari
Amitabh Bachchan – Jatayu
Anil Kapoor – King Janak (rumoured)
Mohit Raina – Lord Shiva
Vikrant Massey – Meghnad
Kunal Kapoor – Lord Indra
Vivek Oberoi – Vidyutjihva
Arun Govil – King Dasharath
Adinath Kothare – Bharat
Ramya Krishnan – Kaushalya (rumoured)
Sheeba Chaddha – Sumitra (rumoured)
Bobby Deol – Kumbhakaran (rumoured)

Budget Dispute Sparks Debate

However, some insiders challenge the ₹835 crore claim. One source clarified, “These are inflated figures being planted to generate curiosity.”

In fact, the actual budget may range between ₹500 and ₹550 crore. The source added, “Anything beyond that would be fatal for the project.”

Filmmakers Aim for Visual Brilliance with Caution

Despite the grand vision, the team is cautious. They want to present the most lavish Ramayana on screen. At the same time, they plan to keep costs within a recoverable limit.

The source noted, “They also want to make sure they don’t assign a budget that would be impossible to recover.”

Arun Govil Questions Modern Stars: ‘Only I Can Play Lord Ram’ Ahead of Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayan

June 5, 2025, 10:19 pm

Actor Arun Govil, who portrayed Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, remains uncertain about whether any current Bollywood superstar can do justice to the role. His comments follow the backlash received by Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon. The film, based on the Ramayana, faced severe criticism for its visual effects and dialogues. Then there is Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi-starrer Ramayan.

Disapproval by Arun Govil of Modern Recreations

In an interview with NDTV, Arun said, “Three-four people tried recreating it, [but] they were not successful. I don’t think in our lifetime someone should try to recreate Ramayan. As far as some actor playing Ram [is concerned], all the available actors, all the stars at this moment I don’t think anyone is suitable. Maybe you can find someone outside the industry.”

Arun acted out Lord Ram as Dipika Chikhlia essayed the role of Goddess Sita in the extremely popular and highly acclaimed 1987 TV series.

Anticipation for Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi’s Ramayan

For the uninitiated, audiences eagerly await the upcoming Ramayana movie. Last year, leaked set photos offered fans a first look at Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Ram and Sita.

Praise from Maharashtra CM for Upcoming Ramayana

During the Waves Summit 2025 last month, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis hailed the film and said, “I was amazed to see the quality of Ramayana that you are creating. I think this is the way we need to tell our stories to the new generation, and I believe what you are setting up will be the best in the globe.”

Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features an impressive cast, with KGF star Yash playing Ravana. The movie also features Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey, and Lara Dutta in leading roles. The film will release in two parts: Diwali 2026 and 2027.

Who Is Nikhil Nanda? Bachchan-Kapoor Kin Behind ₹36000 Cr Empire

April 17, 2025, 3:44 pm

Kapoors and Bachchans are two of the most illustrious film families in India. The Kapoors have produced more stars over the years, the Bachchans have also been a steady influence in the last fifty years. And there is one man behind bringing these two families together – a business magnet who is a relative of Raj Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan.

Bollywood Link of Nikhil Nanda

Nikhil Nanda was born to Delhi-based businessman Rajan Nanda in 1974. Nikhil’s mother, Ritu Nanda, was the daughter of the illustrious Raj Kapoor, and sister of actors Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, and Rajiv Kapoor. This makes Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Aadar Jain, and Armaan Jain Nikhil’s first cousins.

In 1997, Nikhil married Shweta Bachchan, daughter of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, inducting the Bachchan family too into the fold. Abhishek Bachchan is his brother-in-law. His son, Agastya, debuted as an actor with The Archies in 2023. His daughter, Navya Naveli, is an entrepreneur.

Business Career of Nikhil Nanda

In 1997, after finishing his education in the US, Nikhil entered the family business. This was the period when his family business – Escorts Group – was struggling with competition and experiencing declining returns from the market. Nikhil assisted his father in rejuvenating the family business. Nikhil first worked as Director and was later elevated to the post of Joint Managing Director in 2007, and then took the charge of the company after his death in 2013. This has been the period when the businessman has diversified Escorts into a multinational company.

In 2021, Escorts Limited joined hands with Kubota Corporation. In the following year, the company was rechristened as Escorts Kubota Limited with Nihkil as Chairman and Managing Director (CMD). According to various sources, as of April 2025, Escorts’ market cap stands at more than $4.1 billion (approximately ₹36,000 crore). The firm generated an annual revenue of $1.1 billion (₹9200 crore) in FY 2024.

MS Dhoni As ‘Animal’ In Ad With Sandeep Reddy Vanga | WATCH

March 19, 2025, 10:53 am

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni has taken his fans by surprise by stepping into the shoes of Bollywood’s latest action hero. In a recent advertisement for electric cycle brand EMotorad, Dhoni recreated Ranbir Kapoor’s fierce Ranvijay Singh persona from the blockbuster Animal, alongside filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

Dhoni’s Dramatic Entry

Sporting long hair reminiscent of Kapoor’s look in Animal, Dhoni steps out of his luxury car, mirroring one of the film’s iconic scenes. However, instead of wielding a gun, he casually walks across the road with an e-cycle in hand.

What follows is a fun exchange between Dhoni and Vanga, where the director hypes up the cricketer’s ‘acting skills.’ Vanga exclaims, “Mind-blowing, fantastic! People will go crazy!” To this, Dhoni, staying in character, responds in Animal’s signature style, “Sunayi de raha hai mujhe, behra nahi hoon mai.” (I can hear you, I’m not deaf).

Animal For A Reason ?@e_motorad @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/pNhBrJkXi2

As the ad progresses, Dhoni humorously questions, “Ye thoda zyada nahi ho gaya?” (Isn’t this a bit too much?). The ad concludes with Dhoni mimicking Kapoor’s final shot from the movie, leaving fans in splits.

Fans Go Wild Over the Crossover

The ad has gone viral, sparking excitement among fans of both cricket and cinema. One user commented, “EMotorad got Thala and Vanga together before GTA 6!” while another admitted, “This is the first ad I’ve Googled and watched five times!”

All Eyes on IPL 2024

As Dhoni’s playful side takes the internet by storm, cricket enthusiasts are equally eager to see him in action in IPL 2024. Set to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the age of 43, Dhoni has been retained by the franchise for ₹4 crore and is on the brink of breaking multiple records in the upcoming season.

With his mix of cricketing prowess and Bollywood-inspired charisma, Thala continues to be a fan favorite, both on and off the field!

November 25, 2024, 2:35 pm

At the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Ranbir Kapoor dropped an unexpected revelation about his wife, Alia Bhatt, that has since gone viral. While being interviewed by filmmaker Rahul Rawail, Ranbir shared an anecdote from his first meeting with Alia, where her unfamiliarity with a Bollywood legend left him surprised.

Who’s Kishore Kumar?: Alia’s Unexpected Query

During the discussion, which also celebrated his grandfather Raj Kapoor ahead of his 100th birth anniversary, Ranbir recalled the moment that took him aback. “The first time I met Alia, she asked me, ‘Who’s Kishore Kumar?’” he shared, eliciting gasps of disbelief from the audience.

Ranbir further explained, “It’s just the circle of life. People forget, and new artists emerge. It’s important to remember our roots.” The comment resonated with some, but it also stirred a debate online about preserving Bollywood’s legacy and passing it on to newer generations.

Backlash Online: Fans Share Their Shock

Social media quickly erupted with reactions, ranging from disbelief to criticism. A fan remarked, “Not knowing Kishore Kumar is worse. He’s the biggest male singer in Bollywood history!” Another quipped, “This is worse than not knowing the President.”

Some criticised Ranbir Kapoor for repeatedly sharing personal details about Alia. “Why does he keep embarrassing his wife publicly?” asked one fan.

Alia and Trolls: A History of Viral Moments

This isn’t the first time Alia has faced public scrutiny. During her debut on Koffee With Karan in 2013, she mistakenly named Prithviraj Chauhan instead of Dr. Pranab Mukherjee as India’s President, which became a viral meme.

Ranbir himself has not been immune to controversy. A past revelation by Alia Bhatt in a Vogue interview about wiping off her lipstick because Ranbir “doesn’t like it” sparked criticism, with many labeling it a red flag in their relationship.

Ranbir’s anecdote highlights an ongoing conversation about bridging generational gaps in Bollywood’s rich history. While the moment has drawn polarizing opinions, it also underscores the importance of celebrating the icons of the past while embracing the stars of today.

Addressing the Rumors

Alia Bhatt recently addressed rumors circulating in online videos and clickbait articles suggesting she had a botched Botox procedure. Last Friday, the Jigra actor took to Instagram Stories to strongly refute these claims, stating that they were “beyond ridiculous” and “damaging.”

“Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery—your body, your choice. But wow, this is beyond ridiculous! To the random video floating around literally claiming I’ve had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles) – I have a ‘crooked smile’ and a ‘weird way of speaking’ according to YOU,” she wrote.

She criticized the “hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face” and called out the unfounded claims about her being “paralysed on one side.” Bhatt, 31, expressed her frustration that “serious claims” about her are being “casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up.”

Disappointment Among Fans

Despite its completion, many fans have expressed disappointment with the building’s appearance. One commenter remarked, “Come to Punjabi Bagh or Prithviraj Road in Delhi, this is not a bungalow; this is a builder floor.” Another person added, “Looks like office cabins,” while a fan commented, “Poor choice; it should have a garden, natural beauty.”

Lookalike Comparisons

Some fans compared the design to that of YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s house. Comments included, “I thought it was Elvish’s new house,” and “Woah. It looks so similar to Elvish’s house.”

A New Chapter for the Kapoor Family

Earlier this year, a report from Bollywood Life indicated that Ranbir would name the bungalow after their daughter, Raha, making her the “youngest and richest star kid” in Bollywood. The new bungalow reportedly cost Ranbir and his family ₹250 crore, making it the “most expensive” celebrity bungalow in Mumbai, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat and Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa.

Speculation suggests that once the bungalow is ready, the entire Kapoor family, including Neetu Kapoor, will live together under one roof. Currently, Alia and Ranbir reside with Raha at Vastu.

She was questioned about the future and she said it might involve “more babies, more travel, and more movies” as a producer.

Hopefully, many more movies, not just as an actor but hopefully also as a producer. More babies, lots of travel, and just a healthy, happy, simple, quiet, peaceful, full-of-nature life,” Alia said during the Icons Only segment in IMDb.

She also talked about her daughter Raha. “I’d love to sit down with her one day and go, ‘Okay, I want to watch Student of the Year with you because it was one of my first forays.'”. “I think for me, maybe Student of the Year because honestly, it’s the youngest, most chill film that kids could watch. And that is my first film.”. Although I’m not really proud of my performance in that film, but it’s full of songs, and I think she would really enjoy that. I think that’s a very child-friendly film for Ranbir.

The professional front has also seen Alia‘s latest film *Jigra* which recently released in the cinemas. The credit and producer’s hat are shared by her as she is also one of the producers of the film which Karan Johar has also produced. She plays an elder protective sister here, for the story revolves around the rescued attempts made by her character to rescue her brother, played by Vedang, from an international prison under the direction of Vasan Bala.

The film has been very well appreciated. News18 Showsha gave four stars and had great words for Alia’s performance. Bhatt has been relatively proactive in the promotion of the film – recent appearances have included Hyderabad, after which it appears she is visiting Telugu version promotions with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Rana Daggubati.

Ranbir Kapoor Launches Lifestyle Brand ‘Arks’ On 42nd Birthday | Watch

September 28, 2024, 12:58 pm

Ranbir Kapoor has officially entered the world of entrepreneurship, launching a lifestyle clothing brand called ‘Arks’ just in time for his 42nd birthday! His mom, Neetu Kapoor, spilled the beans on Insta over the weekend by wishing her son a happy birthday while tagging the brand’s account (because let’s face it, Ranbir isn’t on social media himself).

Neetu posted a sweet mother-son pic with the caption, “Happy birthday my joy my pride my purest soul. May you always get in abundance whatever you desire or wish for*—tagging @arks for that extra touch of mom-support.

Neetu Kapoor’s Story for son Ranbir Kapoor

And if that wasn’t enough to set the internet buzzing, ‘Arks’ dropped a teaser video with Ranbir in it. In the clip, Ranbir’s lying on a grassy field, gazing up at the stars, then casually drawing the Arks logo in the sky by connecting the stars. So ‘Brahmastra’ vibes, right? His wife Alia Bhatt, one of the few celebs already following the brand’s (unverified) Insta handle, hit that like button, while Neetu chimed in with a “good luck” in the comments.

Fans, of course, lost it. One even linked the brand’s name to Ranbir’s family, claiming ‘Arks’ stands for Alia, their daughter Raha, and Ranbir (RK). Another called it a reference to Noah’s Ark, for that extra biblical touch. Either way, fans are eating it up, dropping comments like, “What a beautiful surprise, happy birthday my all-time favourite RK!” and “Happy birthday Ranbir❤️ and congrats on your new venture.”

Jr NTR Reveals He ‘Prayed’ For Alia Bhatt And Ranbir Kapoor To Name Their Daughter Raha

September 24, 2024, 4:43 pm

Jr NTR and Alia Bhatt have shared screen space in the 2022 historical epic *RRR* directed by SS Rajamouli, but beyond that professional relation, something else is special about Jr NTR for Alia. She was talking to Jr NTR and filmmaker Karan Johar recently when she shared how, during her very first discussion on baby names with Ranbir Kapoor, it happened at Jr NTR’s home in Hyderabad.

Alia on bonding with Jr NTR:

This connect started when Taarak, out of courtesy, attended the *Brahmastra* press meet in Hyderabad. I think I was fully pregnant then. He said, ‘Ya ya, we’ll do the event, then after that, you all have to come to my house for dinner.’ We had such a lovely evening on the terrace, chatting. That was the first time we spoke about possible baby names in front of everyone. Ranbir said, ‘If it is a girl, it will be this. If it is a boy, it will be this,” Alia recalled. Jr NTR added, “I started praying, I wish it was Raha. And finally, there she is (laughs).”

Alia Bhatt and Jr NTR also spoke about the moment how the situation changes once someone becomes a parent, as they looked at their professional lives. Jnr NTR said after Abhay was born, she shed her star personality and started looking for creatively fulfilling projects that would justify the time she was away from her son. Alia also claimed that things have changed in her thinking after Raha’s birth, citing that as an actor, one becomes self-centered, but now she is very invested in another person. She also shares how she felt her next film Jigra, talking about a sister protecting her brother, was just what she needed at that point in time, when she was very protective of her newborn daughter.

About Jigra

Jigra is set to release on 11th of October. The makers have announced the release date, which has been postponed further with Vasan Bala directing the film and Alia with Vedang Raina playing siblings in it. Alongside Manoj Pahwa, it is an escape thriller, co-produced by Alia’s and sister Shaheen Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. She will be seen not only in *Jigra* as she will also be a part of the *Alpha*, *Love & War*, and *Jee Le Zaraa*.

September 16, 2024, 1:49 pm

Alia Bhatt recently hinted that she may have adopted her husband’s surname, Kapoor, after their wedding. The couple tied the knot in April 2022 and welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor, later that year.

The Moment Alia Introduced Herself as ‘Alia Bhatt Kapoor’

Alia’s remark took place during a humorous exchange with Sunil Grover, who appeared on the show in his character Dafli. When Sunil called her “Alia Bhatt,” she promptly corrected him, saying, “It’s Alia Bhatt Kapoor.” This moment caught fans off guard, sparking speculation about whether Alia was serious about the name change or simply having fun.

Ranbir Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor Also Featured in Promo

Ranbir Kapoor and his mother, Neetu Kapoor, were also featured in the edited promo shared by Netflix on Instagram. The post’s caption read, “Bhatt-er pick your sides for this face-off…” Alia was promoting her upcoming movie Jigra, while Ranbir and Neetu had previously appeared on the show earlier in the year.

Fans React to Alia’s Name Change

Fans took to the comments section of the promo, expressing their curiosity. Some wondered if Alia was just joking or if she had officially changed her name, joining other Bollywood actresses who have adopted their husband’s surname after marriage. For instance, Aishwarya Rai became Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra now goes by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Kareena Kapoor added Khan to her name after marrying Saif Ali Khan.

One fan commented, “Awesome acting…” suggesting Alia might have been playful with her response. Another said, “The moment we all were waiting for…” while others speculated, with one writing, “Whyyyyyyyyyyy?” Another comment humorously read, “If you remove both last names, who are you?”

Alia Bhatt’s Upcoming Projects

In addition to Jigra, co-starring Vedang Raina, Alia has a busy schedule ahead. She is set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. She will also star as a spy in the upcoming film Alpha, featuring Sharvari Wagh.

During the event, Ranbir was spotted lifting the idol of Lord Ganesha for its immersion, while Neetu was guiding the staff. The mother-son duo then prayed with folded hands as the idol was submerged in water. A fan commented, “Very very beautiful,” and many users expressed their appreciation with heart emojis. One user asked, “Where’s Alia? Why is she never present?”

The Ganpati Visarjan tradition at RK Studios was established by Raj Kapoor in 1952, alongside his father Prithviraj Kapoor. Raj Kapoor, known for celebrating all festivals at his studio with family and crew, continued this legacy. Salman Khan’s family is also noted for their secular approach, celebrating all Indian festivals with loved ones.

Ranbir Kapoor’s latest film is Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. He will next be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, where he plays Lord Ram. The epic drama, based on Valmiki’s ancient texts, features Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, with Arun Govil, Lara Dutta, and others in significant roles. Ranbir is also expected to work on Sandeep’s Animal Park later in 2025.

Fans have praised the chef’s creations, but what does this variety mean nutritionally, and what can we learn from their approach to balanced eating?

Ipsita Chakraborty, senior nutritionist at Hungry Koala, comments, “Alia and Ranbir’s menu showcases their enjoyment of diverse foods and offers valuable insights into balanced eating.”

Menu’s Advantages And Disadvantages

Chakraborty notes that while the menu presents a diverse range of flavors and textures, it’s important to evaluate its nutritional benefits.

Chakraborty emphasizes that it is absolutely possible to maintain a healthy diet while enjoying a diverse range of foods. “The key lies in balance, moderation, and mindful choices,” she stated.

She advises making fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins the core of your diet. These nutrient-rich foods offer essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, keeping you satisfied.

Chakraborty adds, “Enjoy those indulgent dishes but be mindful of portion sizes. A small serving of a rich dessert can be part of a balanced meal.”

Incorporating regular physical activity helps manage calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight, allowing for a broader range of foods without guilt. It’s important to listen to your hunger and fullness signals, savor each bite, and avoid eating mindlessly.

According to Chakraborty, “A healthy diet is not about deprivation. Allow yourself occasional treats and enjoy the pleasure of food without feeling guilty.”

She concludes, “We can all learn from their approach by prioritizing whole foods, practicing portion control, and adopting a flexible stance on healthy eating. By finding the right balance between indulgence and nourishment, we can establish a sustainable and enjoyable dietary pattern that supports overall health and well-being.”

Did Ranbir Kapoor Personally Ask Kangana Ranaut To Star In His Blockbuster Film?

August 24, 2024, 10:55 pm

Kangana Ranaut, known for carving her own path in Bollywood, has rarely collaborated with the big stars, including the Khans or the younger generation like Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor. However, in a recent interview, the actress-turned-politician revealed that she had been offered several high-profile films, including Sanju, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Sultan.

Ranbir Kapoor requested Kangana for Sanju

Discussing the offers she declined, Kangana recalled that Ranbir Kapoor personally approached her for a role in his hit film Sanju. Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, she mentioned that Ranbir had visited her home and “pleaded” with her to take on a part, though she didn’t specify which role. Ultimately, actresses like Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, and Karishma Tanna were cast in the key roles.

Akshay Kumar’s comments on Kangana’s rejections
Kangana also shared that Akshay Kumar wanted to work with her in Singh Is Bliing. When she turned down the offer, Akshay remarked, “Tu hai naa… mere saath hi kaam nahi karna chaahiti hai! Tere ko naa mujhse koi problem hai” (You just don’t want to work with me, do you? I think you have a problem with me). When Kangana clarified that there wasn’t an issue, Akshay asked, “Phir, tune itni kyun pictures mere saath reject kiya?” (Then why have you rejected so many movies with me?).

Kangana’s reasons for rejecting Salman Khan’s films

Kangana is selective about her roles, preferring strong characters. She explained why she declined Salman Khan’s films, saying, “I was like, ‘Yeh kya role diya hai?'” (What is this role?). After turning down Sultan, Salman asked, “What more do I offer you now?”

Eight months after the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, the movie has once again grabbed headlines. This renewed attention is due to a deleted scene that has surfaced on social media, captivating viewers and prompting discussions about its omission from the final cut.

He then pats the pilot on the shoulder, prompting him to leave. In the next shot, Ranbir is seen sitting in the pilot’s chair with a cigarette in his mouth, as his gang watches in awe. The scene, devoid of dialogue, is underscored by the iconic score of the song “Papa Meri Jaan.”

It’s a pure display of Ranbir’s silence and agony after killing his brother, especially that lifting off at the end.”

Another user remarked, “This scene of the plane ascending symbolizes the story reaching new heights.” Others drew parallels to a similar moment in the movie when the plane narrowly avoids crashing into a mountain, suggesting that the scene would have symbolized the narrative reaching a pivotal point.

Comments like, “Would love to see this movie’s director’s cut version @TSeries” and “He himself regrets it, see the Komal Nahata interview where he wanted to restore the 3:30 hr movie,” indicate fans’ eagerness for a longer, more complete version of the film.

About the Film

“Animal,” directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, continues to be a topic of discussion among fans and industry insiders alike. The film, despite facing criticism for promoting male toxicity, became a blockbuster. It centers on a troubled father-son relationship, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Rannvijay Singh, who seeks revenge after an assassination attempt on his father. The movie also features Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, and Anil Kapoor in significant roles.

Excitingly for fans, a sequel titled “Animal Park” is already in the works, promising more intense drama and compelling performances.

The viral deleted scene from “Animal” has reignited interest in the film and spurred calls for a director’s cut. As fans continue to celebrate Ranbir Kapoor’s performance and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s storytelling, the conversation around this film shows no signs of slowing down.

Ranbir Kapoor Recalls Strict Budgeting By Father During New York Studies

July 30, 2024, 12:59 pm

Ranbir Kapoor recently shared memories from his college days, highlighting how his father, Rishi Kapoor, imposed a strict budget on him while he was studying acting in New York. Despite coming from a privileged background, Rishi wanted Ranbir to experience the challenges of life.

Ranbir was studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York when his father set a tight budget for him. He had just enough to afford meals from McDonald’s dollar menu—about $2 for lunch and $2 for dinner. Ranbir described this budgeting as very strict, even though he came from a well-off family.

In a recent podcast with Nikhil Kamath, Ranbir explained that his father never explained the reason behind the budget but he believes it was to help him understand the value of money and live like a regular student, not a celebrity’s son. Rishi wanted him to experience some hardship to better appreciate life’s challenges.

Ranbir also reminisced about his college days in Mumbai, where he first started smoking. He recalled that HR College was where he bought his first pack of cigarettes and felt a sense of maturity as he began wearing his own clothes instead of a school uniform.

Nikhil Kamath Reveals: No Direct Call To PM Modi, But His Energy Is Unmatched

July 30, 2024, 12:08 am

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor recently featured on the ‘People by WTF’ podcast, hosted by Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha. During their chat, Kapoor reminisced about his notable meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked Kamath if he had the ability to call Modi directly. Kamath clarified that despite having been around the Prime Minister at various events, he does not have direct contact with him.

Kamath explained, “Can I pick up the phone and call him? No… I’ve been fortunate to be around him at several events, but I don’t have that kind of access. I truly respect and admire him.”

He also highlighted Modi’s intense work ethic, saying, “Modi’s schedule is grueling. He might start with a speech to businessmen at 8 am, give another speech at 11 am, and attend different events throughout the day. By evening, I’d be exhausted, but he’d be flying off to Egypt to continue his duties. His energy is remarkable. There’s so much to learn from him.”

Kamath added, “Even at his age, his energy is inspiring. I believe there’s always something to learn from everyone, and he’s no exception. I feel lucky to have witnessed his dedication up close.”

Kapoor shared his own experience meeting PM Modi in 2019. He recalled, “When we met him, his presence was magnetic. He spoke to each of us personally, making an effort to connect on a deeper level. For instance, he asked me about my father’s health during his treatment, and he engaged with others on topics that mattered to them. That level of personal attention is something you see in truly great individuals.”

The 2019 meeting took place in New Delhi and included a range of celebrities such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sidharth Malhotra, along with notable filmmakers like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and Rohit Shetty.

In a recent episode of the podcast “People by WTF,” Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, hosted Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor for an engaging discussion. They explored various topics, including their personal experiences and perceptions of different Indian cities. Kamath, who was born in Shivamogga, Karnataka, shared his journey across various locations due to his father’s job at Canara Bank, which included stops in Hassan, Karnataka, and Karnal, Haryana, before settling in Bengaluru at age six.

Kamath expressed his deep connection with Bengaluru, noting that he has lived there for the past 30 years and considers himself a “Bangalore boy.” He emphasized his affection for the city, describing it as a place that has given him everything. Kamath also highlighted the unique character of Bengaluru, contrasting it with Mumbai. He remarked that while Mumbai is often described as a fast-paced city, Bengaluru has a distinct “soul” that sets it apart, and he invited Kapoor to experience it firsthand.

Further elaborating on his views, Kamath praised the people of Bengaluru for their warmth and love for the city, stating that these qualities make the city’s residents exceptional. He humorously compared the cultural attributes of various Indian cities, noting Hyderabad’s famous biryani, Mumbai’s reputation for having “good-looking people,” Delhi’s affluent and ostentatious residents, and Bengaluru’s distinction for its friendly and welcoming inhabitants.

Kamath’s reflections on Bengaluru and other Indian cities provide a unique perspective on urban life in India, emphasizing the importance of community and cultural identity.
