30 October,2024 11:51 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMeet the special mentor Last November, Hrithik Roshan was seen in a special appearance in Salman Khan's Tiger 3 (2023). This November, the light-eyed superstar will shoot another cameo. This time around, Duggu will join Shiv Rawail's Alpha , which stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as the new female spies. Unlike the dark tones to his character Kabir Dhaliwal in Tiger 3, which was designed to announce War 2 as next edition of Aditya Chopra's YRF spy universe, it is being said that he will play a mentor of sorts to Alia and Sharvari's characters. Besides an adrenaline-pumping introductory scene, Duggu's cameo will lead to a high-octane action set-piece with Alia and Sharvari. The superstar will undergo three-days prep before he begins his week-long schedule for Alpha on November 9. Within days of completing his special appearance, Duggu will shoot the climax of War 2 with Junior NTR. Director Ayan Mukerji's action thriller, also starring Kiara Advani, is slated to arrive in cinemas on Independence Day next year, while Alpha is being readied for a Christmas 2025 release. New jodi alert Sreeleela's loss has proved to be Pooja Hegde 's gain. The Radhe Shyam (2022) actor has been signed on as Varun Dhawan's leading lady for his next, tentatively-titled Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Helmed by David Dhawan, the rom-com marks the fourth collaboration between the veteran director and his actor-son. Mrunal Thakur, who plays the other lead, has shot some of her sequences with Varun. Next week, the team will head to Goa for the second spell of the shoot. Later in November, they will begin a month-long schedule on a set that will be built in Mehboob Studios. They are also planning an international schedule for early 2025. Cleared with a few modifications Rohit Shetty's Singham Again has cleared the censor hurdle. The Central Board of Film Certification issued the Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff and Jackie Shroff-starrer a U/A certificate with quite a few alterations. In two instances, the makers had to modify the visual depictions of Lord Ram, Sita and Hanuman with that of Ajay's Singham, Kareena's Avni and Ranveer's Simmba. A 16-second visual of Raavan grabbing and pulling Sita in a drama scene, and a 29-second visual of Hanuman burning and a dialogue of Simmba flirting was removed. The visuals of the Constitutional head were deleted in two scenes and the dialogues were appropriately altered, while the color of a religious flag and the use of Shiv Stotra in the background in another scene was appropriately modified. The Censor Board also reportedly asked the makers to redraft the disclaimer stating that the film is purely a work of fiction, and “Although the film is inspired by the story of Lord Ram, neither its narrative nor the characters should be viewed as revered deities… The story features contemporary characters of today...or societies, and their cultures, customs, practices, and traditions.” The final runtime of the Diwali release is two hours and 24 minutes. A unique comic caper Even though Siddhant Chaturvedi hasn't struck gold with his theatrical outings, he continues to be offered interesting films. The actor has been signed on by producer Mahaveer Jain for a comedy to be helmed by ad filmmaker Ambar Chakravarty. The subject has two leading ladies opposite Siddhant. The makers are said to have approached Nora Fatehi and Sreeleela for the roles. While both the heroines have agreed in principle, the details are yet to be finalized. If all goes well, Ambar is slated to begin filming the yet-untitled comic caper in the first quarter of 2025. Backing a Novel Cause Akshay Kumar is batting for a unique initiative this festive season. He is said to have pledged R1 crore to Anjaneya Sewa Trust to feed the monkeys in Ayodhya every day, to celebrate the legacy of Hanuman's brave army in Lord Ram's war against the demon king Raavan. When approached by the trust for this cause, Akki responded by contributing generously. The Khel Khel Mein actor dedicated the initiative to his parents, Hari Om and Aruna Bhatia, as well as his father-in-law, late superstar Rajesh Khanna. Holidaying together? It appears that Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor have taken off for a holiday along with rumored beaus Shikhar Pahariya and Vedang Raina respectively. While neither of them have shared any pictures together, their individual posts indicate that they are all vacationing together. On Monday, the Kapoor sisters shared a picture by the beach and a funny video on their social media as they recreated Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian's lines from their reality show. Yesterday, Khushi's The Archies (2023) co-actor Vedang also posted a series of images from his beach holiday. Soon enough, his post was flooded with comments. “Khushi Kapoor takes good pictures,” wrote a netizen, while another observed, “Together on a trip, Janhvi, Khushi and Vedang. He posts morning pictures and they post evenings.” Yet another follower replied, “All four of you are in the Maldivess... Beachy guys.”
30 October,2024 09:40 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamBollywood actress Ananya Panday, who is often touted as a Gen Z star, has come a long way with her filmography. From playing the quintessential newbie, trying her hand at various characters, to finally proving her mettle, thanks to OTT, Ananya has been a discovery even for ace filmmakers. That being said, she equally makes headlines for her personal life. In the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Ananya gets candid about dealing with heartbreak. How did Ananya Panday deal with her last heartbreak? Ananya Panday was rumoured to be dating Aditya Roy Kapur. The two were spotted at romantic getaways and for dinner outings in the city. While they never confirmed or denied their relationship, a couple of months ago, it was reported that the two have parted ways. Speaking about coping with heartbreak, Ananya shares, “I deal with it pretty normally like anyone would. You have to feel whatever you are feeling. I don’t think you should stop yourself from feeling anything because it is going to pile up eventually and it might affect you in your next relationship or some other time in life. So you have to go with all the emotions, talk it out, cry, eat how much ever you want to eat, get it all out of your system, and then life moves on.” Ananya Panday jokes about being cheated on in every film Ananya Panday’s OTT projects have a similar streak. Be it ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, ‘Gehraiyaan’, or ‘CTRL’, her character has always had to deal with infidelity. She says, “There is always some cheating or something happening like why has this become this? Someone was joking yesterday about how you know Salman sir's signature is he takes his shirt off in every film, now my signature is she has gotten cheated on in this film. I don’t want that to be my signature.” Ananya Panday on PDA in real life The actress, who plays an influencer in ‘CTRL’ referenced her cousin Alanna Panday, who is an internet sensation. However, for Ananya to be that public is scary. “I am saying in general, it is very fascinating. We may not do PDA in real life but in front of the camera people like that. If we hold hands or if we do something cute. Just that switch on switch off I found really interesting. It’s very scary,” she concludes.
30 October,2024 09:35 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentBollywood actress Ananya Panday, who found herself tangled in the insider-outsider debate, courtesy of Siddhant Chaturvedi, asserts that she doesn’t like this division in the film industry. In the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Ananya cites superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s example when it comes to an actor from a non-filmy background, who made it big, bonding with him since childhood, and more. Ananya Panday on the insider-outsider debate Ananya Panday admits that she’s been very vocal about having an upper hand in the industry. She explains, “After a point, I think your work speaks and people have to still like you on screen and watch you because there have been many cases where people have come from film families and they have not been successful because they have not resonated with the audience. Then there have been people from the outside who have done extremely well. We should all support each other and give love to each other because the industry and the people have given us so much. I don’t know why we are creating these lines and borders.” Ananya Panday on Siddhant Chaturvedi’s ‘struggle’ jibe For those unversed, Siddhant Chaturvedi went viral with his jibe at Ananya Panday during a roundtable. He said, "Jahan humare sapne pure hote hai wahan inka struggle shuru hota hai.” Sharing her take on the same, she stated, “I can joke about this and tell him to his face and everyone has made it seem that there is some feud but I have worked with him. He is one of my closest friends in the industry.” What does Ananya Panday call Shah Rukh Khan? Ananya Panday, who shares a great bond with Suhana Khan, says that she calls Shah Rukh Khan “SRK.” She elaborates, “He likes being in our gang, and with us, he is always going to be SRK. I also call him Shah Rukh uncle, but I call him Shah Rukh sir in a work and professional environment of course.” ‘Shah Rukh Khan is one of the best fathers’ Ananya Panday reveals that she has grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan deal with fame quite normally despite being an outsider. She says, “We didn’t even realise until he went and stood outside Mannat and we saw those thousands of people come. It was always like someone was like a father figure who taught us how to run on our sports days and practice Taekwondo with us. He was a very involved and present parent. The way he is with Suhana and AbRam and Aryan is amazing you know. He is one of the best fathers." “Suhana always says that even though he shoots for like 12-16 hours he will always come home and spend time with his children and involve in their college admissions and their homework and everything. Like any problem that I am facing, I can talk to him about it and he is very non-judgmental,” she adds.
30 October,2024 09:35 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIt was Ananya Panday’s dream to be a Bollywood actress. She recalls growing up watching Hindi movies and being obsessed with the world of glitz and glamour. On the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Ananya gets candid about dressing up like Kareena Kapoor Khan, having pictures of her favourite stars in the vanity van, and more. Ananya Panday would dress up like Kareena Kapoor Khan Ananya Panday reveals, “I would dress up like Kareena and I would know the hook steps of every single song, I would perform at every birthday party. Like no one had to ask me. Usually, the parents are like bacha nacho and all, I was ready before my parents asked me to. I think it came from the fact that my dad had this video camera at that time I could see myself. Since a young age only I have always wanted to be an actress and be in front of the camera. That was all I knew.” Although Ananya has made it to the A-listers, she is still in awe of her seniors. “I have a picture of Lolo (Karisma Kapoor) in my vanity van stuck on the mirror. It is a picture of her and Salman (Khan) and ‘Main Apni Favourite Hoon’ (Kareena’s dialogue from Jab We Met) on my vanity,” she adds. Ananya Panday is the biggest Alia Bhatt fan Ananya Panday took over the ‘Student of the Year’ franchise during its second installment. The first one marked Alia Bhatt’s acting debut. “Everyone is like, ‘Which college did you go to?’ and I am like, ‘I went to St. Teresa's in Student of the Year 2’. I am the biggest Alia Bhatt fan. To be in the same school as her is a big thing for me.” Heaping praise on Alia, Ananya adds, “She is just like an overachiever. She started out younger than me. We were at some screening of ‘Student of the Year’ and I was 14 or 13 at that time and there were no seats in the theatre, so I was sitting on the floor, and I remember she came on screen as Shanaya and I was like I want to be her.” Ananya Panday asserts that Alia Bhatt is very relatable. “She owns her mistakes, you know she is amazing off-screen, she is candid, she is cool, she is not afraid to admit that she is wrong or she has made mistakes, but she has always grown and really shut people up with her work,” she concludes.
30 October,2024 09:34 AM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAlia Bhatt recently shared that she’s been getting “creative” by making up fun, magical stories for her daughter Raha Kapoor. In a relaxed chat on the YouTube channel Ed-a-mamma Conscious Clothing with other moms, Alia talked about how she comes up with stories involving her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and her sister, Shaheen Bhatt, because her daughter loves hearing about them. Alia Bhatt’s storytime with Raha involves Ranbir Kapoor and Shaheen During the chat, Alia Bhatt stated, "I am in that phase right now where I am currently making stories up for Raha where suddenly she will be like 'Mama, Mama tell me Papa's story,' then I'll make up a story about Ranbir, then tell me Tanna's story like she calls my sister Tanna so I'm literally making stories up that I'm really like becoming very creative." She added, "I'm saying random very like magical things and stuff like that, and then she immediately moves on in two lines to another story yeah, so it feels quite special to even like be a storyteller for your child." Alia Bhatt on claims of 'Botox gone wrong' Just recently, Alia Bhatt took to her Instagram stories to address netizens who claimed she had undergone a botched Botox procedure. In a long note, Alia also called out the internet for making exaggerated claims, including that she was “paralyzed on one side.” With her no-nonsense attitude, Alia gave trolls a piece of her mind through her story. The actress began her note by stating that she has “absolutely NO JUDGMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery—it’s your body.” However, she expressed amazement at how random videos make big claims about what she supposedly did to her face and label it as “Botox gone wrong.” Alia Bhatt calls claims 'beyond ridiculous' Calling these claims “beyond ridiculous,” Alia wrote, “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. This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face. And now you're confidently tossing around 'scientific' explanations, claiming I'm paralyzed on one side? Are you kidding me?” She continued, “These are SERIOUS claims being casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up. What's worse, you're influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage. Why are you saying this? For clickbait? Attention? Because none of it makes sense.”
