Ranbir Kapoor says his ‘passion project’ Jagga Jasoos’ failure hurt him the most; calls Shamshera a ‘big box office disaster’

Bollywood Ranbir Kapoor stepped out for the first international event after becoming a father. The actor attended the ongoing Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. During a conversation, he spoke at length about the films not working in India post COVID-19 and his film Shamshera becoming a big disaster. He also spoke about how his passion project Jagga Jasoos had not done well which hurt him the most.

Speaking to Deadline, the actor said, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project. It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt,” he said. “That’s the only film in my career that hurt me.”

Before Brahmastra in September 2022, he had another release. Back in July, he was seen in YRF’s Shamshera which failed at the box office. Talking about the same, Ranbir said the film was “by far the hardest film I’ve worked on. It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera was that I stuck on a beard.” The actor sported a beard in the film. As the audience laughed hearing his story, he added, “When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.”

On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor will next star in Luv Ranjan’s untitled next with Shraddha Kapoor. The film is scheduled for Holi 2023 release. He also has Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal in 2023 as well.

Kartik Aaryan says he had ‘self-belief’ after being ousted from Dostana 2; knew Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would work well

Actor Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker Karan Johar’s fallout was widely reported when the former was ousted from Dostana 2 for professional reasons. But, the actor says that he had self-belief while many doubted his potential and even that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 may not work.

When asked whether the fallout affected him, the actor interrupted and said, “Yes, but I had a lot of self-belief. I said to myself that I would let my work do the talking,” he told E-Times in an interview. He dded, “I knew that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would open the theatres wide. I decided to promote Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 maximum. There were constraints on the budget due to COVID days then, but I went ahead.”

“It was being widely said that I won’t be able to do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 well enough. Here, I was being directly doubted. In my heart of hearts, however, I knew that this movie will work and bring the public back to the theatres and I had told this to Kumar Mangat. I knew that I would be able to do it in my way and take this film to a high level,” he shared.

Last year, rumours were rife about Kartik’s ‘unprofessional’ behaviour. At the time, Dharma Productions released an official statement saying they won’t be working with Kartik Aaryan and that they would announce the new cast. “Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence – we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon,” it read.

In the same interview, when asked if he has a list of filmmakers he wants to work with, Kartik added, “Haan, har koi chahta hai ki aap sirf unke liye maximum kam kare. But I want to be everyone’s favourite. See, I cannot do small talk. I cannot please people by doing chit-chats. I don’t have anybody in my list whom I don’t want to work with. Kisiko aisa lagna bhi nahi chahiye kyunki aisa hai hi nahi. Abhi saamne kisiko kaisa bhi feel ho ya na ho. Luv Ranjan sir has done 4 movies with me, Sajid Nadiadwala sir has done 2, makers are repeating me. I am in happy space.”

Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan was most recently seen in Freddy which released on Disney+ Hotstar. He will next star in Shehzada with Kriti Sanon.

Khushi Kapoor has made a remarkable impact with her fashion experiments, as seen by her thoughtfully maintained Instagram account, which is no less than an up-to-date look book. Whatever the trend, she has worn it. With her own unique sense of style, Khushi Kapoor has been majorly inspiring Gen Z’s sense of style.

Khushi Kapoor has transformed her Instagram page into a trendy look book, and it’s safe to say that she has become a social media favourite even before her much anticipated Bollywood debut owing to her fashionable choices. Recently, star Khushi Kapoor turned heads with a series of Instagram photos that captured her every mood. Oh boy! In every photograph, she is a sight to behold. Khushi in the first picture can be seen sporting a strappy dress from London based brand House of CB. Khushi’s floral print dress has a corseted bodice to cinch the fit with a beautiful lace up back. The gathered bust has a drawstring tie and the side split which is adding a little sexiness to reveal a flash of leg. Her dress is worth Rs.14,928. She accessorised her look with Chanel’s brown quilted and flap bag that approximately costs Rs. 4,47,860.03.

Dainty butterfly earring added pizzazz to her strappy dress. Her winged eyeliner and nude make-up look has complemented the outfit well.

Khushi chose the AFRM Amina midi dress for the following pictures. The bodycon outfit featured a plunging neckline, printed cherry patterns, and double straps. Choose Rs. 2,566.76 if you wish to keep vibrant and appear beautifully dressed for a date. Khushi seemed gorgeous with her strong brows, winged eyeliner, brown lip colour, open locks with betty bangs, and ample application of blush.

In the west, faux leather clothing is presently in style, and because celebrities like Hailey Bieber and the Kardashians have endorsed the look, the craze is only expected to intensify. Khushi Kapoor joined the trend by donning a ribbed brown crop top and a chocolate brown leather mini skirt. She wore a crop top underneath a long, brown leather jacket with a knotted waist. She accessorised her ensemble with white delicate earrings. In terms of appearance, she opted for betty bangs, delicate waves, bold eyes and brown lips with an earthy undertone.
