R Madhavan auditioned for Shah Rukh Khans role in Swades, reveals co-writer Amin Hajee: He absolutely killed it. He is a great actor

Shah Rukh Khans portrayal of Mohan Bhargava in Ashutosh Gowarikers Swades remains one of the most remembered performances of his career. However, the actor was not the only name considered for the lead role. According to actor and writer Amin Hajee, who was part of the writing team of the 2004 film, R Madhavan had also auditioned for the role, while Hrithik Roshan was among the actors who were narrated the script. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Hajee recalled Madhavans audition and praised the actors performance. Amin said, We narrated the script to Hrithik Roshan as well. Madhavan also auditioned, and what an audition it was. He absolutely killed it. He is a great actor. Hajee further revealed that Aamir Khan was initially planned to headline Swades. According to him, the film was intended as the next collaboration with Aamir after Lagaan. At that time, Aamir was supposed to play the role that Shah Rukh Khan eventually played. It was always Aamir from the start. After Lagaan, this was the next film we planned with Aamir, he said. However, Aamir reportedly had reservations about certain elements of the screenplay. Aamir did not like some of the things we had done. He did not like that version of the script, although he liked the plot, Amin recalled. He added, Aamir loved the story. He simply wanted to work further on certain aspects. But the more important issue was that he didn't have the time. Aamir does one film at a time. The project eventually found its lead in Shah Rukh Khan. Hajee remembered that the actor watched Lagaan at a special screening organised at Adlabs in Film City. Sitting next to Shah Rukh during the screening, Hajee heard the actor express his desire to work with Gowariker. Shah Rukh wanted to watch Lagaan, and a special screening was organised for him. I happened to be sitting next to him. After watching the film, he said, I should be in Ashu's next film. My father was a freedom fighter. I should do Desh. I should be Mohan Bhargava. He continued, He called Ashu and said, Ashu, I have to be in your next film. You're a great director, and I want to be a part of your next film. After further discussions and a screen test, Shah Rukh was eventually cast as Mohan Bhargava. Reflecting on how the casting came together, Amin said, Then we tested, and I think it's all destiny. So Shah Rukh did Swades, I became a writer, and Charlotte co-wrote it with us. Released in 2004, Swades also featured Gayatri Joshi, Kishori Ballal, Daya Shankar Pandey, Rajesh Vivek and Lekh Tandon in key roles.

EXCLUSIVE: Gurdeep Mehndi reveals REAL reason why Daler Mehndi appeared alone in Tunak Tunak Tun: There was a perception that his songs became hits due to models, expensive cars. Unhone yeh baat apne dil pe le li

Gurdeep Mehndi is slowly and steadily making his mark as a singer and composer, carving an identity of his own beyond that of his father, Daler Mehndi, and uncle, Mika Singh. Recently, he released his latest single as a singer, Chan Mahi. He also features in the music video alongside Aditi Sharma, and its unique, cinematic visuals have been widely appreciated. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Gurdeep spoke about growing up while Daler Mehndi was at the peak of his phenomenal success, and a lot more. Two years ago, Gurdeep Mehndi got a chance to sing with his father on the recreated version of Dalers iconic song, Na Na Na Na Na Re, in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (2024). Gurdeep said, It was officially our first-ever collaboration. It had always been my dream to sing with him. I was clear that I didnt want to ask my father or uncle for any favours until I reached that level, or until the producers, directors or audience themselves asked for it. Otherwise, it would be a case of ghar ki murgi dal barabar. I was lucky that T-Series wanted a fresh voice for Rajkummar Rao. They asked me to come on board. I thanked God that day! After all, it gave them a legitimate reason to have me on the song alongside my father. No one was happier than me because now, if you search for Na Na Na Na Na Re, my name is there too. Mera naam jud gaya hai, and now I can sing it haq se because I have actually sung it as well (smiles). Gurdeep then opened up about his childhood days, saying, Since I was very young, aur jab mujhe hosh bhi nahin tha, I had seen papa ji doing several shows even before he became famous. He used to perform in Delhi and was living the way he still lives today like a king! So, we always knew that papa ji was someone special. It was only when we got enrolled in school that we realized, aur bada hai maamla (laughs). Out of all his classic songs, Tunak Tunak Tun stands out. The music video featured only Daler Mehndi, appearing in multiple avatars, and was reportedly made at a cost of Rs. 2.5 crores, a huge amount at the time. When asked what the discussion was like within the Mehndi family and whether there were any apprehensions about mounting such an expensive music video, Gurdeep replied, Honestly, I wasnt aware of the financial aspects then, and Im not aware of them even now. But I do remember that, in those days, there was a perception that Indipop songs became hits because artists featured models and expensive cars in their videos. Unhone yeh baat apne dil pe le li. So, he decided, Main ek aisa video banaunga jisme koi nahin hoga. Sirf main rahunga. Na gaadi hongi, na models. He also incorporated the four elements earth, fire, water and air into the video. Gurdeep Mehndi continued, So, more than the money, for me, it was about the confidence with which he proved his point to everyone koi nahin use kiya, sirf main akela hoon. Even today, I strongly feel that Tunak Tunak Tun se badhiya gaana koi ho nahin sakta.

Bihar, Jharkhand sign Sone water-sharing agreement in presence of Home Minister Amit Shah

New Delhi, Aug 31: In the presence of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, an MoU was signed between Bihar and Jharkhand on the sharing of Sone River water. Chief Minister of Jharkhand Hemant Soren, Chief Minister of Bihar Samrat Choudhary, Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil, the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, the Union Home Secretary, and senior officials from the Government of India and both states were present on this occasion. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah said that todays agreement between Bihar and Jharkhand has resolved a long-awaited water dispute in eastern India. He said that this agreement will provide irrigation water to lakhs of farmers in large rural areas of Bihar and Jharkhand, along with drinking water for the people. Amit Shah stated that the agreement reached today regarding the sharing of the Sone River's waters is an excellent example of the 'Team Bharat' vision and cooperative federalism championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that while all states possess their own distinct identities, if they move forward as 'Team Bharat' within the national context, there is no problem which cannot be resolved. Shri Shah added that this marks the fourth water agreement between states this year, which will enhance water availability for irrigation, rural development, and drinking purposes. Union Home Minister said that the agreement reached today to resolve the nearly 25-year-old water dispute between Bihar and Jharkhand exemplifies that any problem can be solved through dialogue conducted with the spirit of cooperative federalism. He said that issues concerning vast geographical areas, farmers, rural regions, and drinking water supplies in both states have been permanently resolved today. Amit Shah said that today's agreement would ensure the availability of adequate water for drinking and irrigation to a large population across the districts of Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas, Kaimur, Aurangabad, Arwal, Gaya, and Patna in Bihar. Moreover, water would become available for irrigation and drinking purposes in the Palamu, Garhwa, and other regions of Jharkhand. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for resolving the issue of Sone River water sharing. On the initiative of Home Minister Amit Shah, long-pending water disputes between various states that had been unresolved for several decades are being resolved through the Inter-State Council, so far this year, four historic agreements have been reached. On July 7, 2026, a historic agreement regarding the settlement of outstanding payments was signed among the 'Narmada Award' beneficiary states Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh in the presence of the Union Home Minister. This agreement marks a milestone in resolving long-standing disputes among these states concerning cost-sharing for the construction of the Sardar Sarovar Project, with the outstanding dues being resolved through a one-time settlement. On June 29, 2026, a significant agreement was signed between the governments of Rajasthan and Haryana regarding the construction and implementation of the Yamuna Water Project. Under this agreement, approximately 580 MCM of water will be conveyed from the Yamuna Canal to Rajasthan via three underground pipelines. The project aims to deliver Rajasthan's share of Yamuna water from the Western Yamuna Canal through these underground pipelines. This will enable Rajasthan to effectively utilize the water allocated to it under the 1994 agreement regarding the sharing of usable surface water in the Upper Yamuna Basin. The project will ensure a continuous supply of drinking water to the arid and low-rainfall regions of Rajasthan and foster socio-economic development, thereby benefiting millions of people. On June 16, 2026, a consensus was reached among the concerned states regarding the long-pending Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project during a crucial meeting held in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah. During the meeting, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the Kishau Multipurpose Project. Regarding the project, the Central Government will provide 90% of the funding for the water component as central assistance, while the six states will bear the financial burden of the remaining 10%. An agreement was reached to allocate the water assigned to Himachal Pradesh to Delhi and Rajasthan in exchange for sharing the cost of the project's power component.
