Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/X2cn15WKnown as the ‘Showman’ of Bollywood, Subhash Ghai has made some of the biggest films in Bollywood. The filmmaker has given us masterpieces like Hero, Khalnayak, Pardes, among others. He recently spoke about the changing phase of Bollywood films and recalled the times when filmmaking was a different business altogether. In the recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ghai discussed about the reason behind actors having a 20 people entourage and called them as ‘nervous’ actors. In the same breath, he also revealed that superstars like Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan still have the same team that they had years ago.
In this interview with Bollywood Hungama, comparing the younger and older generation of stars, especially superstars like Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn, Ghai said, “Actors jo 40 saal se industry mein hai, jinko main 1980s se jaanta hoon, inke paas jo 3 bandhe hai na – makeup man, unka boy, aur driver, woh aaj tak wahi hain. Yeh 20 unke saath dekhenge jo naye naye musalmaan bane hain. Inko ghabrahat hoti hai ki koi mujhe dekh leyega, main teek se toh chal raha hoon, koi photo maang lega. Yeh gharaye hue actors ki nishaani hai ki uske peeche 20 log aaye. (Actors who have in the industry for about 40 years and whom I have known since the 80s, these people have a three-person team of makeup man, their spot boy and their driver that have remained the same all these years. The ones who have a 20-people entourage are the new-age stars who have just gained fame. And that is because they are constantly nervous about whether they are walking properly, or what if someone asks for a selfie. It is a sign of nervous actors when there are 20 people behind them.)”
Subhash Ghai also teaches filmmaking at his institute Whistling Woods. He returned to production in 2022 after seven long years. Ever since he produced Hero, a remake of his own film featuring Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Seshadri in 1983, featuring the then debutants Sooraj Pancholi (son of Aditya Pancholi) and Athiya Shetty (daughter of Suniel Shetty), Ghai stayed away from production. He returned to it and also wrote the story of his latest release 36 Farmhouse that released in January 2022 and featured an ensemble cast.

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/OVYzIyNBollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and her businessman-husband Anand Ahuja welcomed their first child on August 20 this year. On Sunday, the actress took to her verified social media handle and shared her pregnancy journey with her fans. She also talked about her delivery and breastfeeding her son, Vayu.
“My pre-natal journey was quite different. I was very sure I wanted to have as natural a journey as I could that would lead to a natural delivery with as little intervention as possible. For that I decided to take help of ‘gentle birth method’ with Dr Gowra Motha. She had written a lovely book called Gentle Birth Method that explains how to deal with the prenatal journey,” wrote the Aisha actress in one of her Instagram stories.
Coming to stretch marks, the Neerja actress shared the details of the products she has been using, and added, “Besides the linea nigra, I don’t have any stretch marks at all. I’ve used a combination of these two products (which she shared a picture of) three times a day on my whole trunk area up to my thighs. I also drank collagen, had vitamin C and a lot of protein.”
In the same series, the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actress also spoke about her diet during pregnancy. The food items that should be included in “Prenatal foods to add” are as followed (according to Sonam Kapoor’s Instagram story):
Vegetables: carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, cooked greens, tomatoes and red sweet peppers (for vitamin A and potassium)
Fruits: cantaloupe, honeydew, mangoes, prunes, bananas, apricots, oranges, and red or pink grapefruit (for potassium)
Dairy: fat-free or low-fat yoghourt, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk (I was dairy free, as I’m lactose intolerant) buttermilk, paneer (cottage cheese)
Grains: ready-to-eat cereals/cooked cereals (for iron and folic acid) and I’m glutten free as well. I found out that was easier on my gut
Proteins: beans dals and peas; nuts and seeds; chicken lamb salmon, trout, herring, sardines and pollock etc
Liquids are the most important! Water water water.
After dating for a few years, Sonam and Anand got married in Mumbai in May 2018. Announcing her pregnancy, Sonam had written, “Four hands. To raise you the very best we can. Two hearts. That will beat in unison with yours, every step of the way. One family. Who will shower you with love and support. We can’t wait to welcome you,” in the caption of her social media post.

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/OVYzIyNBollywood actor Rajkummar Rao played a small yet important character in Anurag Kashyap’s cult hit Gangs of Wasseypur. For the unversed, he played the role of Shamshad Alam. Taking a stroll down memory lane, Rajkummar Rao recently revealed that he was actually offered the lead role in the film.
Interestingly, Rajkummar is currently busy with the promotions of his latest film, Monica O My Darling, which is released on Netflix. As a part of promotion activity, the streaming giant dropped a video on its social media platform, in which Rajkummar can be seen talking with popular stand-up comedian Zakir Khan.
In the video, the talented actor said, “After watching LSD (Love Se Aur Dhokha), Anurag sir called me and said I am making a film and come and meet me. So when I met him, there was just a story, rather a structure of a story. And at that time, the film he narrated was Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin) vs Shamshad Alam (Rajkummar). Nawaz and I went to Wasseypur and I had a small tape recorder, which I used to record people there.”
Further, the Stree actor recalled meeting the director 3-4 months after finishing writing. He said, “Anurag sir met me again and told me that my role had become much shorter. But I said no worries sir. He asked me would you still do it and I said of course. I am getting a chance to work with you. And I am glad I did actually.”
Interestingly, Rao’s act in GOW grabbed the attention of director Hansal Mehta. Mehta signed him for Shahid, which fetched Rao his first National Award.

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/OVYzIyNFinally there is a Bollywood film in 2022 which started at a low number on Friday and then went on to grow truly well over the weekend. Unchai had its first day standing at 1.81 crores and while it seemed fine against the controlled release that it had got, it still needed to rise over the weekend to warrant greater count of shows and screens for itself. After all, there is a lot of competition around it with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on one side this week and then Drishyam 2 on the other side next week. Hence, growth needed to come for the film.
Thankfully, this has happened indeed with collections jumping further to Rs. 5 crores* on Sunday. The collections were quite good on Saturday as well when a major jump was seen and that’s how the game started changing for this Sooraj Barjatya directed film. Otherwise, for long most of the films have been playing only in Rs. 2-3 crores zone on Saturday and Sunday. With this healthy jump, all that’s required now is for Monday to be greater than Friday. As long as that turns out to be the case, there is stage and platform for the Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Boman Irani starrer to flourish further over Rs 10.45 crores* that it has collected so far.
Meanwhile, the game is already set for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever which has now crossed the 40 crores mark after its opening weekend. That’s quite good because a handful of films have managed that in entire 2022 and most of these have been event films. Here, the Marvel flick is a regular release even from Hollywood and hence for it to fetch these kind of numbers is indeed remarkable. The film saw one of the best days in theatres for any language film ever since the release of Brahmastra and brought in Rs 15.50 crores* which has helped push its total.
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
