Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/ftwc6yAFilmmaker Nikkhil Advani has shared candid insights into his relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Known for their collaborations on films like Salaam-e-Ishq and Hero, the duo shares a strong bond. However, the director has revealed the underlying reason for their limited collaborations. During a chat with Lallantop, Nikkhil Advani candidly admitted that the immense pressure to deliver box office hits exceeding Rs 300 crores is a significant factor in his decision to steer clear of directing Salman Khan films.
Nikkhil asserted, “Salman Khan films have to make more than Rs 300 crores. If his films do less than that, he feels really bad, and I don’t want that burden. I want to sleep peacefully at night and not carry the burden of making that Rs 300-400 crores (grossing) film. I want to make films that I want to. I love Salman, he is my messiah.
He further added, “There is that option of, ‘In case of emergency, please call’, that’s Salman for me on my phone. I know he will leave everything and come. Even if he is doing the biggest action scene, if someone calls him, he will say, ‘I will go, this one’s in trouble.’ He is the messiah of the industry. But I don’t want to have that stress of Rs 300-400 crores. If it happens, great, but I don’t want that stress,” he added.
Speaking of the professional front, Nikkhil Advani is currently awaiting the release of his next film, Vedaa. Starring John Abraham and Sharvari, the actioner will have a box office clash with Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein. It is scheduled to release on August 15. Meanwhile, Salman, who was recently seen in AP Dhillon’s music video ‘Old Money,’ has started shooting for his next with Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss, Sikandar.

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/ftwc6yAMalayali actor Roshan Mathew is very happy to have shared screen space with Janhvi Kapoor in Sudhanshu Saria’s Ulajh.
In an exclusive chat, Roshan said, “Janhvi is very dedicated to her work, and is always striving to make the scene and her performance better. That’s good energy for an actor to carry on set, we had a very comfortable working equation and I enjoyed my scenes with her.”
About being part of Ulajh Roshan revealed, “It was fun. It’s unlike any other film I’ve done so far. And it was a young energetic cast and crew, we shot in London and India. It’s an espionage thriller, you could say. And I got a character who is ‘unshackled’ so there was a lot of scope to have fun with him. Janhvi and the rest of the team were also lovely to work with.
I enjoy finding their reasons. Why someone does something. Nobody with a sane mind wants to be a bad guy, or to do something wrong. Corrupted values, ego, flawed morals all are a result of circumstances in some way. I try figuring them out and making them real and relatable (to) people. We’re all made of the same things, after all.”
About his forthcoming projects, Roshan said, “I have Chera with Nimisha Sajayan, and Ithiri Neram with Zarin Shihab. (These) are two films I’ve completed in Malayalam. There’s also a series called KanKhajura in Hindi, with Mohit Raina we’ve completed for SonyLiv. Shooting a series in Tamil now, directed by Nishanth Kalidindi.”

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/86VzhuFActor Kay Kay Menon is approaching three decades in the Hindi film industry. In a recent interview, he opened up about his early career alongside close friends Manoj Bajpayee and the late Irrfan Khan.
In a chat with Indian Express, Menon reflected on a time when filmmakers weren’t sure how to utilize their talents. “Manoj, Irrfan, and I, we came around the same time,” he says. “I don’t think filmmakers knew how to use us, in that sense, because we came at a time when films were different. So we had to settle for playing villains and half-villains here and there. We had to do that all. That’s how the industry is.”
Menon shedded light on an interesting anecdote related to Vishal Bhardwaj’s films. “I lost Vishal Bhardwaj’s Maqbool to my friend Irrfan,” he revealed, “and got Haider because Manoj didn’t have dates.” He clarified, “But I guess if you are at it, things happen. I don’t believe what Manoj said, because Manoj was the first choice for Haider. He, however, didn’t have dates, and most probably Vishal (Bhardwaj) and Manoj discussed and said ‘Kay Kay ko lete hai (let’s take Kay Kay instead)’. That’s how it happened, ulta hua hai (it is the other way around).”
Menon also addressed the perception of him being typecast in serious roles. “I was stuck with it, the whole thing about doing only serious, intense roles,” he says. “Let me tell you that I can be seriously funny. I have always taken my work seriously but never taken myself seriously, I have never been like, ‘aah, ab meri entry ho rahi hai’,” he concludes.
Speaking of the professional front, Kay Kay Menon is currently promoting his new show, Shekhar Homes, which will start streaming on JioCinema from August 14.

Via Bollywood Hungama https://ift.tt/86VzhuF“Clothes make the man” goes the adage, and in the world of cinema and television, this couldn’t be truer. The power of costume and makeup can transform actors into their characters instantly. Raghav Juyal, known for his comedic roles, dance performances and playing an anti-hero in Kill is gearing up to essay a serious and different role of a police officer in ZEE5’s upcoming original, Gyaarah Gyaarah. The actor, choreographer, and entertainer recently opened up about his experience of portraying a cop and wearing a uniform for the show. Raghav highlighted how donning the police attire significantly altered his approach to the character and the profound impact that costumes can have on an actor’s performance.
Reflecting on his experience, Raghav Juyal shared, “Costume, make-up, and masking play a very big role in theatre and performing arts. A lot of times, costumes help you transition from the physical to the emotional quotient of your character. Whether you wear an army uniform, a joker costume, or a suit, it changes many things about a character. Even for women – they would feel different if they’re wearing heels versus flats. It makes a significant difference.”
Gyaarah Gyaarah, an adaptation of the Korean drama Signal, is a gripping time-bending thriller set to premiere on ZEE5 on August 9, 2024. The series follows the intertwined fates of three police officers across different timelines. Raghav Juyal plays a young cop in the present day, working alongside his senior officer portrayed by Kritika Kamra, as they tackle various cold cases. Their investigation takes an unexpected turn when Juyal’s character establishes a mysterious connection via walkie-talkie with a police officer from the 1990s, played by Dhairya Karwa. As past and present collide, the trio must navigate the complex consequences of their actions across time, promising viewers a thrilling tale of justice, fate, and the power of connection across eras.
