Radhika Madan remembers Irrfan Khan’s warmth on Angrezi Medium sets: “He really inspired and encouraged me”

Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan’s heartwarming bond in the 2020 film Angrezi Medium is cherished by many.  The film, released just a month before Khan’s passing, showcased not only their on-screen bond but also Khan’s generosity towards his co-star. Recently, Madan reminisced about working with the legendary actor ahead of his death anniversary on April 29.

Radhika Madan revealed that due to Khan’s ongoing health struggles, she was informed beforehand that his energy levels might be lower during filming. She shared to Hindustan Times, “I was already informed that his energies are going to be low. We finished shooting in October 2019 and in April 2020, he passed away. He shot the last scene with me.”

Madan remains deeply grateful for the experience. She highlighted Khan’s decision to treat her as an equal, despite her being a newcomer to the industry. She added, “Full credit to Irrfan sir for treating me like an equal and not a newcomer, and giving me that respect as a co-star. That was the biggest motivation and it only gave me the confidence to believe in my gut and craft. He really inspired and encouraged me as a professional. I was always his student.”

Irrfan Khan’s legacy lives on not only through his incredible body of work but also through the impact he had on his fellow actors.

BREAKING: Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule is the FIRST Pan-India film to also release in Bengali; makers shoot a massive underwater sequence

Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, is arguably the most awaited film of the year and the excitement is increasing with each asset that the makers are presenting to the audience. The first part, Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01, was a huge hit across the country and the lead character and his mannerisms became a rage. As a result, there’s a lot of hope for the sequel. Realizing the potential of the second installment, the makers are leaving no stone unturned. And in a unique move, Pushpa 2: The Rule is all set to be released in Bengali. It is the first Pan-Indian film to have a release in the language.

Usually, Pan-India films, until now, have had a release in five languages, namely Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Pushpa 2: The Rule breaks the record as it’ll be released in as many as six languages in India. This was confirmed by popular music composer Devi Sri Prasad.

In an interview with Mid-Day, he revealed, “[In this edition], the story continues from where part one ended. It’s not like a franchise in which the actors are retained but the characters are different. Here, we are continuing with the same characters. So, you’ll notice progress in the music. Even then, we tried to make something different from the past soundtrack.”

He further said, “Also, this time, we are making the film in Bengali, so we have to go through the exercise in six languages. It took me more than two months to make the songs since I had to sit with the lyricists of each language to make it.”

A week ago, there were reports that popular singer Timir Biswas was going to do the voiceover or maybe sing in the Bengali version. When contacted, Timir, however, said that he hasn’t come on board yet.

Meanwhile, the makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule recently shot a massive underwater sequence. Yesterday, the film’s Polish cinematographer Miroslaw Brozek uploaded an intriguing image from the sets of the film on Instagram. When a fan asked “Are you guys shooting a boat sequence?”, he replied, “Underwater”.

Pushpa 2: The Rule is all set to release in cinemas on August 15, 2024.

Actor Sahil Khan gets arrested by Mumbai cyber cell in connection to the Mahadev Betting App

Best known for films like Style and Excuse Me, actor Sahil Khan, who is now an influencer, has been arrested by the Mumbai Police in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. The arrest was made by the Mumbai cyber cell’s Special Investigating Team (SIT) in Chhattisgarh after the court rejected the pre-arrest bail plea, followed by asserting that Khan is the co-owner of the app.

Previously, the SIT had summoned Sahil and three others for questioning in December 2023, but he failed to appear. Followed by that, he applied for a pre-arrest bail which has now been rejected by the Bombay High Court. Despite several allegations were made against the Style actor in regards to the app, Sahil denied any direct involvement with the betting platform and continued to assert that he was merely a brand promoter endorsing The Lion Book brand under contract with M/s. Isports247. However, the police has decided to stick with their allegations that he was a co-owner of the app, following which he is being brought to Mumbai via Raipur and is expected to be produced before the court this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Sahil has maintained that he signed a contract with the company for 24 months, for posting promotional videos on his social media under a fixed remuneration of Rs. 3 lakhs which will be paid monthly. After the actor gave his statement about being a brand promoter, he applied for a pre-bail plea which was, however, dismissed by the court, as they cited his alleged direct involvement in the illegal operation.

Earlier In 2023, the crime branch, investigating the Mahadev betting app case, had summoned Sahil Khan and three others to record their statements on December 15. However, Sahil failed to cooperate but remained active on social media, posting photos and videos, further drawing flak for his non-compliant behaviour.

On the work front, while Sahil Khan has stayed away from films, he kicked off his entrepreneurial fitness venture Divine Nutrition, which offers fitness supplements.

Salman Khan-Firing Case: Mumbai police charges suspects under MCOCA, reveals reports

The firing incident at Galaxy Apartment has been undergoing significant developments lately. Initially, the Mumbai police issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi after he is accused of being the man behind the recent attack on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Now, recent reports reveal that the authorities have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in connection with the incident.

Following the firing incident outside his apartment in Mumbai, multiple investigative teams have been actively pursuing leads. After earlier reports suggested the Mumbai police have named two suspects Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, recently two alleged arms suppliers were identified as Sonu Subhash Chander and Anuj Thapan, in connection to the case. As per reports from ANI, all of them have been charged under MCOCA. Officers were quoted in the recent report where they confirmed the developments in the case and added, “All accused have been booked under Sections 3(1)(2), 3(1)(3), and 3(1)(4) of MCOCA,”.

Subsequently, after Anmol Bishnoi purportedly claimed responsibility for the shooting in a Facebook post, law enforcement authorities issued another Look Out Circular (LOC) against him. Furthermore, with the gathering of substantial evidence, Lawrence Bishnoi has been designated as the primary suspect in the case, despite his imprisonment.

Following the arrest of the accused, law enforcement authorities have also made a few other breakthroughs in the investigation which includes discovering a firearm and live cartridges in the Tapi River in Gujarat, along with footprints of one of the suspects, Vicky, which were also traced during their attempt to flee to Bhuj, Gujarat.

Besides these, the Delhi Crime Branch officials also reportedly conducted a three-hour long interrogation of Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta with their custody being extended from April 25 to April 29. Meanwhile, as per reports from ANI, the Esplanade Court in Mumbai has granted Mumbai Crime Branch custody of both arms suppliers until April 30.

Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri to shoot reworked version of ‘Ami Je Tomar’ for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in Mumbai: Report

This Diwali, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is all set to take you on a thrilling and laughter-filled rollercoaster ride. Led by Kartik Aaryan, the film promises to be a successor to its wildly popular predecessors. The audience will witness a dance face-off between Madhuri Dixit and the Vidya Balan. A week ago, it was reported that the movie will feature a spectacular dance sequence between these two powerhouses, recreating the iconic song ‘Ami Je Tomar’ from the franchise.  In the sequel, Kartik Aaryan also performed on the song as Rooh Baba with Tabu’s dual characters. Now, all three will join the revamped version along with Triptii Dimri.

Now, according to a report in Mid-day, the third schedule of the film is in full swing at Film City in Mumbai, with actors like Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit-Nene, and Triptii Dimri gracing the sets. Director Anees Bazmee has planned a thrilling 15-day shoot, with a mix of horror and action sequences alongside the highly anticipated dance number.

Remember the captivating performance by Vidya Balan in the 2007 original, where she embodied Manjulika and danced to ‘Ami Je Tomar’. The song has become synonymous with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, and this time around, it’s getting a fresh twist. Composer Amaal Mallik has reinterpreted the track, promising a new take on this beloved classic.

A source told the publication, “In Film City, art director Rajat Poddarr and his team have built a massive set of a vintage mansion as found in West Bengal. Choreographer Chinni Prakash has set the song against this backdrop, visualising it as a classical dance number featuring Kartik, Vidya, Madhuri and Triptii. Like in the last two instalments, the track will come at a critical juncture in the narrative.”

Meanwhile, following the 15-day schedule in Mumbai, the team will take a short break. The plan is to wrap the shoot by May 10 and then head to Europe for a romantic song shoot featuring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri.

The team recently wrapped the shoot in the vibrant city of Kolkata. Earlier reports mentioned director Anees Bazmee scouting for the perfect spooky location in Kolkata! The film is scheduled for Diwali 2024 release.

Baby John wraps shoot on Varun Dhawan’s birthday; double celebration for the team, watch

Varun Dhawan’s highly anticipated film Baby John has concluded filming, coinciding perfectly with the actor’s birthday. The celebratory mood was captured in a video posted by the film’s production house, showcasing the cast and crew cutting a cake and enjoying the moment.

The caption declared it a “Double Celebration” marking both the filming wrap and Dhawan’s special day. The caption read, “Baby John film shoot wrap + VD’s birthday = Time for Double Celebration. #BabyJohn coming soon!”

A post shared by Cine1 Studios (@cine1studios)

To mark Dhawan’s birthday, the makers unveiled a striking new poster featuring the actor in a fierce avatar, sporting long hair and an intense expression. While the poster maintains the “coming soon” release window, rumours have been rife about a potential delay. The film was initially slated for a May 31, 2024 release.

Baby John promises to be a high-octane action flick boasting a stellar cast alongside Dhawan. Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi will play pivotal roles, with Jackie Shroff also included in the ensemble.

According to Peeping Moon, despite filming since August 2023 and completing over 75 days of shooting, the film required an additional 10-12 days of production. This unforeseen delay pushed back the release date, with the makers now targeting a debut sometime in June or July 2024. Extensive post-production work necessitated the shift, ensuring the film met the audience’s expectations.

Produced by Atlee and Priya Atlee’s A For Apple Studios, along with Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and Jyoti Deshpande for Jio Studios, Baby John promises to be an action-packed spectacle.

Zeenat Aman says she broke her mother’s heart when she eloped with Amanullah Khan: “But it mended with the birth of my first son”

Veteran actress Zeenat Aman has always been known for her grace and candour. Recently, she took to social media to share glimpses of her life, specifically focusing on the incredible woman who raised her – her mother, Scinda Heinz.

In a heartfelt post, Aman uploaded two photographs of her late mother. Scinda Heinz, according to Zeenat, was an exceptional woman who served as her ‘safe harbour.’ Zeenat further described her mother as ‘a woman ahead of the curve,’ highlighting her progressive nature. The post delved deeper into their relationship, showcasing both cherished moments and past challenges. Zeenat acknowledged her mother’s unwavering support when she decided to pursue a career in acting. Scinda even gave up her own work to become Zeenat’s manager, ardently negotiating contracts and ensuring her daughter’s success. “When I made up my mind to pursue a career in acting, she gave up her own work to be my manager. She negotiated my contracts, invested my earnings, packed my tiffins, ran my lines, inspired my style, and bolstered my confidence to the nth degree. All this while maintaining her own exciting social life within the expat community in Mumbai,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.

Zeenat’s post also offered a glimpse into her family history. One of the shared photographs featured Scinda Heinz with Zeenat’s biological father, Amanullah Khan. Their eventual separation led Scinda to find love again, marrying a kind German gentleman whom Zeenat fondly referred to as Uncle Heinz. The caption further revealed a more vulnerable side to their relationship. Zeenat confessed to breaking her mother’s heart when she eloped with her husband, Mazhar Khan, in 1985. “Mummy never thought any man was worthy of me (she was onto something there), and it was the only matter that we ever locked horns on. Even then, if I were ever low, I would crawl into her bed in our apartment off Nepean Sea Road, lay by her side and hold her hand. No words would be spoken, but my turmoil would settle and I would feel secure,” she wrote.

Zeenat further said, “It’s true that I broke her heart a little when I eloped, but it mended with the birth of my first son, who shares a birthday with her,” she added.
