In a bid to pay tribute to Sanjeev Kumar on his 39th death anniversary yesterday, actor Jackie Shroff spoke about some of his favourite scenes performed by the actor, including one from Salim-Javed’s 1975 blockbuster, Sholay, and another from Pati Patni Aur Woh, which hit the screens in 1978. In a video shared online, Shroff posted photographs of the late star and wrote: “Remembering Sanjeev Kumar (9 July 1938 — 6 Nov 1985.)” In 1985, Kumar suffered a heart attack aged 47, which resulted in his death. More than 10 movies starring him were released after his death, with the last one being Professor Ki Padosan, in 1993.

Can’t wait to watch this [on] November 22,” he wrote. The film, also starring Johnny Lever, Jayant Kriplani, Pearle Maaney, and Kristin Goddard, delves into the dynamics of modern relationships, personal struggles, and human experiences. It tackles sensitive themes, promising to balance humour with the emotional depth of life’s challenges. 

Case registered against Mithun

Case registered against Mithun

A case was registered against actor-turned-BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty by the Bidhannagar Police yesterday for allegedly making a provocative speech during a party event in North 24 Parganas district last month. The complaint against Chakraborty stems from a speech he delivered at a BJP event on October 27. Chakraborty, who was honoured with India’s highest film accolade, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, earlier this year, had declared on October 27 that the “masnad” (throne) of West Bengal would belong to the BJP after the 2026 Assembly elections, vowing to do whatever it takes to achieve this goal. He cautioned anyone against attempting to intimidate saffron party voters into abstaining from voting in the next Assembly elections. Select BJP ministers called the FIR a case of “vendetta politics.”

In a world where content is truly emerging to be king, actor Prabhas is putting his might behind writers who can ace their game. The Kalki 2898 AD actor launched The Script Craft, a platform dedicated to promoting and encouraging writers by helping them share their story ideas with a broad audience. Writers can submit a 250-word synopsis of their story ideas, which will be read and rated by audiences. The highest-rated stories will subsequently rise to the top. Prabhas’s involvement in The Script Craft highlights his commitment to fostering a positive space for writers and encouraging unique storytelling. On the work front, he has a string of projects in the pipeline, including The Raja Saab, Salaar: Part 2, Shouryanga Parvam, and Kalki 2.

After news of his next, a film set in the aftermath of the Godhra train burning incident in 2002, hit headlines, actor Vikrant Massey says he has received death threats on social media. However, he says he isn’t worried because The Sabarmati Report is “purely based on facts”. Massey will be seen as a vernacular journalist in the upcoming thriller that the makers claim is “inspired by true events”. It is produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and directed by Dheeraj Sarna. “I have been receiving threats. Without drawing attention to it, it is something that I am dealing with, and that we, as a team, collectively are dealing with. But we are artistes and we tell stories. This film is purely based on facts,” Massey said.
