The film 'Singham' has been re-released in theatres On Friday, director Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn attended a special fan screening of the film and also spoke in depth about the film recalling their memories of making the iconic cop drama. During the conversation, the director-actor duo spoke about the iconic dialogue 'Aata Majhi Satakli' and the popular pose of 'Singham'. When the host asked Rohit and Ajay about who wrote the line 'Aata Majhi Satakli' that went on to become iconic, they said that it was casually written in the script. They never thought it would get so popular. Talking about the same, Shetty said, " We had just written the line because both the characters the villain Jaikant Shikre and hero Bajirao Singham are Maharashtrians and it became an iconic line. He (Ajay) says that line just once in the film Otherwise it is said by the villain throughout the film. For us, it was just a line. Ajay too said that he never expected it to become iconic. "At that moment it was just a line," he said recalling shooting for the film. "You deliver a lot of lines and you don't know what the audience will lap up. While doing it, it was just a line and then it became a cult line". Talking about the Singham pose, Shetty credited choreographer Ganesh Acharya for it. "Nothing was planned. We were just making a normal mass film because we had made three Golmaals by then and 'All The Best'. We were doing 'Bol Bachchan' also then. So it was all comedies. In between all this, we thought of making a hardcore mass action film," he shared. Rohit Shetty about the climax of Singham Again Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn are currently awaiting the release of their upcoming action movie ‘Singham Again'. During the talk, he also revealed that the climax of the film was shot by the same team that works with him on the stunt-based reality show ‘Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi’ hosted. Talking about how the climax was put together, Rohit said, “We had a team of around 1000 people shooting the climax. If you see the climax there are few shots, the team from South Africa was there, which shot ‘Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi’ for us, the team from Bangkok was there and my team was there, so we all came together for climax. I think the kids will have a terrific experience now when they watch ‘Singham Again’ climax. I am very proud of how it has turned out”. About Singham Again The trailer of ‘Singham Again’ was released recently, and draws inferences from the Hindu epic of ‘Ramayana’. It stars some of the biggest stars of Hindi cinema including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff. The film marks the fifth instalment of Shetty's Cop Universe, and is a sequel to ‘Singham Returns’. The film integrates Rohit Shetty’s fabled cop universe as Bajirao Singham, played by Ajay Devgn, sets out to bring back his wife, Avni Kamat (inspired by Sita) played by Kareena Kapoor Khan from the clutches of Arjun's character. It also marks the second big budget adaptation of Ramayana after the box-office debacle of Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer ‘Adipurush’. To ensure good returns on a film, Rohit has placed the safest bet that will appeal to a large section of audience: The Ramayana. The film is set to release on Diwali.

21 October,2024 12:35 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMumtaz and Shammi Kapoor's love saga is one of the most talked about stories from their era. While their bond ended in heartbreak, Mumtaz and the late actor were quite vocal about their brief relationship. Today on Shammi Kapoor's birth anniversary, here's looking at what made this love story didn't have a happy ending. Why Mumtaz denied the marriage proposal In an interview with Zoom TV, Mumtaz revealed that Shammi Kapoor did express his interest in marrying her but she refused despite being in love with him. The two actors shared screen in the film 'Brahmachari'. “His wife Geeta Bali had passed away. During the shooting of the song ‘Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche’, we came closer and fell in love. We were together for two-three years. He professed his love to me and asked me to marry him. I loved him deeply but he told me that I couldn’t work after marriage as women marrying into the Kapoor clan didn’t work,” recalled Mumtaz. When Shammi Kapoor proposed marriage to Mumtaz she was just 17. Shammi, on the other hand, was double her age. Mumtaz's love for Shammi had blossomed long before this proposal. She had wished to marry him the first time she saw him on a film set. Explaining her decision to not marry and focus on her career in the movies, Mumtaz said, "I told him I couldn’t marry him because I wanted to work and fulfill my dreams. I didn’t want to be a homemaker, taking care of his children and managing the household,” revealed Mumtaz, adding that the ‘no’ left the Teesri Manzil actor angry. She continued, “He was angry and told me, ‘If you would have truly loved me, you would’ve accepted my proposal and left working in films. You only pretend to love me because you wanted to score big films opposite me.’ This left me completely heartbroken.” Shammi Kapoor on dating Mumtaz Shammi Kapoor, on the other hand, termed the rejection a nightmare as he had hoped for a future together with Mumtaz. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, the late actor had said, "At that time, I was a widower, and Mumtaz happened to be a very pretty little girl, and for a little short while, we both had dreams and then it turned into a nightmare. I’m happy as I am today.” He went on to marry Ugandan millionaire Mayur Madhwani in 1974 and moved to London, quitting Bollywood.
21 October,2024 12:32 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentFrom a prominent family of actors, Shammi Kapoor initially considered a career in science before following his father and elder brother into the film industry but faced a tough time with his first 18 films tanking. It was then he reinvented himself to portray a new brand of hero, inspired by both James Dean and Elvis Presley. In the process, Shammi Kapoor not only laid the way for a host of dancing male leads, from Joy Mukherjee and Jeetendra in his heyday, and then, down the decades, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Govinda, Shah Rukh Khan, and his own great-nephew Ranbir Kapoor, but also transformed the very paradigm of the Hindi film hero, and in a way, Hindi films. Shammi Kapoor Birth Anniversary 2024: How he reinvented himself Gone was the silent, soft-spoken, upright hero - the meek one like his own elder brother Raj Kapoor, or the brooding one like Dilip Kumar - to be supplanted by a flamboyant, swaggering figure, with a casual approach to life, and not hesitant or apologetic in enjoying its pleasures - even ahead of the jaunty Dev Anand, who could never match that level of exuberance. And for this type of hero, the light musical film - intended as pure entertainment without any messages - came into its own, and became the norm, rather than the exception. Shammi Kapoor, who was born this day (October 21) in 1931, himself said that he found the heroes of his own epoch (the 1950s) too "laid-back and defeatist, forever wallowing in self-pity" and decided to "implant a spine", and "add some machismo" to them. And succeed well he did, as films like 'Junglee' (1961), 'Dil Tera Deewana', 'Professor', 'China Town' (all 1962), 'Bluff Master' (1963), 'Rajkumar' (1964), 'Kashmir Ki Kali' (1964), 'Janwar' (1965), 'Teesri Manzil' (1966), 'Budtameez' (1966), 'An Evening in Paris', 'Laat Saheb' (both 1967), 'Brahmachari' (1968), 'Tumse Achha Kaun Hai', 'Prince' (both 1969), and their evergreen and melodious songs prove. Shammi Kapoor made his debut with 'Jeewan Jyoti' (1953) with Chand Usmani, but the movie flopped. So did the subsequent 17 films spanning a variety of genres, from tragic and historical romances ('Laila-Majnu', 1953, with Nutan, 'Mirza Sahiban', 1957 with Shyama) to frothy comedies ('Mem Sahib', 1956 with Meena Kumari), thrillers ('Miss Coca Cola', 1955 with Geeta Bali, or 'Ham Sab Chor Hain', 1956, with Nalini Jaywant, offbeat films like 'Rail Ka Dibba', 1953, with Madhubala, and costumed dramas like 'Shama Parwana' with Suraiya). A distraught Shammi Kapoor, who had got married to Geeta Bali in 1955, was contemplating quitting the industry and taking up a job at an Assam tea plantation. However, two things kept him in films - then scriptwriter Nasir Hussain's desire to change into an actor with a film with a new type of hero, and Dev Anand refusing the hero's role as "not his type". Shammi Kapoor convinced an initially reluctant Hussain to give him the role - and 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha' (1957) gave birth to the Shammi Kapoor we know. After a decade or so's reign as the dancing, leaping, whooping, teasing, romantic hero - with all his dancing choreographed by him after relentless practice - Shammi Kapoor twigged the winds were changing as a new generation of stars emerged. About Shammi Kapoor's later roles Shammi Kapoor later switched to more mature character roles. Be it the tavern-owner Dhoop Chaaon in 'Manoranjan' (1974) - the remake of Shirley MacLaine's 'Irma La Douce' he directed himself, the horse-breeder in 'Zameer' (1975), Amitabh Bachchan's foster-father in 'Parvarish' (1977), the fake holy man, Dr Dubari in 'Shalimar' (1978), the Sisodia Maharaja in "Meera" (1979), the dance judge in Sanjay Dutt's debut 'Rocky' (1981), engine driver - and Dilip Kumar's colleague Gurbaksh in 'Vidhaata' (1982) - which fetched him his second Filmfare Award (but for Best Supporting Actor), and many more, down to the music ustad in his grand-nephew Ranbir Kapoor's "Rockstar" (2011) - released a couple of months after his demise that year, he left his mark.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by mid-day (@middayindia) The struggle of being an outsider When asked if being an outsider affected the opportunities she could get, Kashika stated, "Honestly, it did. I have a journey of my own, and I think the rejections make it beautiful because today, where I am, I really value it. I really value getting this film. So yes, I did get a lot of calls saying, 'Yaar, someone else is getting this film, so you can't do it,' and I think it's fine." Rejecting Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan's film During the interaction, Kashika recalled meeting Shashank Khaitan, where he narrated the story of Janhvi Kapoor & Varun Dhawan starter 'Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari'.

She further explained that making an impact on society with her debut film is something she feels proud of. The film, which touches on themes of girls' education and societal challenges, is based on true events surrounding scams in educational boards, making it a powerful narrative that resonates with the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' initiative.
