Karan Johar recalls how Salman Khan said yes to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai without hearing the full script
Karan Johar revisited the casting of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, his directorial debut, during the premiere episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9. The filmmaker revealed how Salman Khan agreed to play a special appearance in the film after several leading actors had turned down the role. Recalling how the collaboration came about, Johar shared that Khan had casually told him, Youve been shopping, come narrate the film to me tomorrow. Following the conversation, Johar visited the actor at his apartment to narrate the story. Khan, who was dressed in yellow shorts at the time, agreed to be part of the film without listening to the complete narration. Johar also revealed that Khan was willing to take up the role despite being told that there would be no remuneration for his special appearance. The actor's decision came at a time when Johar was looking to finalise the casting for his debut directorial venture. During their conversation, the two also spoke about the longstanding bond between their families. Johar recalled how his father had personally travelled to Mauritius to help secure government permissions for Khan's then-ongoing shoot for Hello Brother. The anecdote offered a glimpse into the relationship shared by the two families over the years. The conversation also brought back memories of an unexpected technical issue during the climax sequence of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The camera operator accidentally filmed the entire sequence in slow motion, leaving the team with no option but to reshoot it. Despite having another shoot lined up, Khan reportedly postponed his next day's schedule by a day to remain on set and complete the sequence. His decision allowed the team to reshoot the scene, reflecting the support he extended to Johar during the making of the film. The premiere episode of Koffee With Karan Season 9 revisits these moments from the making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, offering a glimpse into how the collaboration came together and the friendship between the filmmaker and the actor. New episodes of Koffee With Karan Season 9 drop every Wednesday at 7 PM, exclusively on JioHotstar.

Kubbra Sait recently shared her views on womens empowerment, resilience and the freedom to define ones own identity. Speaking at an event where she was honoured for being a voice for women, the actress questioned the conventional narrative that women need to be taught strength, highlighting that resilience has always been a part of womens lives. During her address, Kubbra expressed gratitude for being associated with a platform that represents women. She also pointed out that women have consistently fought for their rights and aspirations, even if their struggles have not always been documented. She said, To be associated with any platform that goes out there and represents women is nothing but an honour. And its not because were in dire times and women need help. I think women have been resilient since time immemorial. If anything, we have fought for what we wanted, since time immemorial. It may have been documented or otherwise, but somehow, weve come to believe that its been a mans world. We saw even in our last panel how men have given us the opportunity to become the women we want to be. And its just wonderful to hear that, especially in that political voice. But I think, to answer your question, Im very grateful to receive an award for being a voice for the empowerment of women. But I think Ive just had the opportunity to live life, explore it fully, be unafraid to make mistakes, and try to be a better version of a human being for myself. It just turns out that Im a woman. Through her remarks, Kubbra emphasised that womens empowerment should not be viewed solely through the lens of struggle or the need for external support. She described her own journey as an opportunity to experience life fully, learn from mistakes and work towards becoming a better person. Her concluding statement, It just turns out that Im a woman, brought attention to the distinction between living authentically as an individual and being defined primarily by gender. It also reflected her view that the freedom to make choices, explore different experiences and grow as a person is central to empowerment. Known for expressing her views on social issues, Kubbra has often challenged conventional ideas surrounding identity and gender. Her latest remarks reiterated that women have demonstrated resilience across generations and that their experiences deserve recognition, regardless of whether they have been formally recorded. Her address also encouraged a broader conversation about empowerment, suggesting that women should have the freedom to shape their own journeys without being confined to established stereotypes.

Over the weekend, Imran Khan was back in the news after he was detained by the Mumbai Police for attempting to participate in a protest demanding the removal of India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. Imran uploaded a picture of himself in a police van on Instagram, which quickly went viral. It also brought renewed attention to some of his popular films and songs. One track that was widely revisited over the weekend was 'Bhaag DK Bose' from his 2011 cult classic, Delhi Belly. The film continues to enjoy a loyal following, thanks to its memorable songs, performances, sharp writing and, importantly, its unabashed use of abusive language, which was quite rare in mainstream Hindi cinema at the time. Bollywood Hungama recently spoke exclusively to Delhi Belly director Abhinay Deo as part of the promotions of his upcoming film, Doosra. When asked about the tremendous demand for Delhi Belly 2, he confessed, Every week, I come up with one idea for the sequel. But there are some technical challenges. At that time, it was UTV who had made it. Now, Disney has acquired UTV. If Disney agrees to make Delhi Belly 2, they may tell me to remove the abuses and make it a clean entertainer. How can a film like Delhi Belly be clean? Yeh ek hi aisi film hai jo kabhi clean nahin ho sakti! The other challenge is that writer Akshat Verma took 9 years to write Delhi Belly. We dont know how long hell take to write the sequel. Abhinay continued, Nevertheless, we are trying. I speak to Aamir Khan (producer of Delhi Belly) almost every month, wherein I ask him, Bhai saab, can we do Delhi Belly 2? (smiles). He would tell me, Yaar tu Akshat ko pakad. Usko bol script finish karein. I think Akshat is writing something. Lets see. When asked if he was also in touch with Imran Khan, Abhinay Deo replied, Yes, very much. Hes such a sweet fellow. I actually did speak to him about another film, completely different from Delhi Belly. However, he was busy shooting for Adhure Hum Adhure Tum and hence he couldnt do it.

Lalit Modi has recalled how the Walt Disney Company turned down an opportunity to finance Ramanand Sagars Ramayan, claiming that the companys executives struggled to connect with the filmmaker during a meeting in India. According to Modi, he had tried to persuade Disney to back the television series, but the discussions did not progress as he had hoped. Speaking on a podcast with The Bharat Inc, Modi discussed the challenges of financing television programming at the time and his efforts to bring large-scale Indian productions to an international platform. He also revealed that both Ramanand Sagar and BR Chopra had approached him seeking financial support for Ramayan and Mahabharat, respectively. Lalit Modi says Doordarshan did not finance programmes Recalling the television landscape of that period, Modi said, Ramanand Sagar and BR Chopra both came to me and wanted me to finance it, and I was ready to finance it. I had an integrated system of marketing, production, worldwide syndication through Disney. But I had a partner in the Walt Disney Company. I told them that we should get into the production business and make a co-production with Ramanand Sagar. They said we have to sell our programming. It will be a conflict of interest. I kept pushing though. Disney executives met Ramanand Sagar over Ramayan Modi said he continued trying to convince Disneys senior executives to consider the project. He explained, Disney came with a big entourage and private jets and Ramanand Sagar walked into that meeting in shorts. Everyone used to be suited at that time. Unki English bhi tuti futi thi (He had some issues with his English as well). He listened to what Disney had to say, but he couldnt understand it fully and vice versa, so he couldnt make an impression on the Disney guys. There used to be sophisticated pitches back then. They wanted to see a presentation. I could see that the president of Disney was ready to run out of the room. Lalit Modi says Disney failed to see Ramayans potential Modi further claimed that Disneys executives could not fully appreciate the potential of Ramayan. At the time, a mythology-based television production on that scale was unfamiliar to the Indian television industry, according to his account. He added that his ability to move the project forward was limited because Disney was his business partner and the financing decision involved the company. Although Disney did not back the project, Ramanand Sagars Ramayan went on to become one of Indian televisions most widely recognised mythological series. Its popularity grew further during its 2020 rerun on Doordarshan, when audiences revisited the show during the COVID-19 lockdown.

In 1975, Gabbar Singh's iconic question, Kitne aadmi the?, from Sholay became a part of popular culture. 51 years later, another question has caught the fancy of moviegoers: Madira peeke so gaye?! Uttered by Raghu Nayak (Ajeet Singh Pallawat) in the blockbuster Drishyam The Conclusion, the hilarious one-liner has become a rage, especially on social media. The fact that the dialogue is also repeated by Jaideep Ahlawat and Kamlesh Sawant's characters has added to its popularity. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ajeet Singh Pallawat opened up about the viral dialogue, his experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat, his fascinating journey as an actor and a lot more. Your role, and especially the Madira peeke so gaye? dialogue, has become quite popular (Smiles) All I can say is thank you to the audience for enjoying my dialogue so much. It has also become quite popular on social media. As for the film, I feel very happy to be a part of a franchise that has never disappointed the audience. As a performer, I thoroughly enjoyed essaying Raghu even in Drishyam 2 (2022). This time, the joy was double and hence, I am even more thankful. We performed the dialogue in different variations. Since it was repeated so many times, audiences also took to it. Moreover, Gaitonde (Kamlesh Sawant) and Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) also mouthed the dialogue, which added to the fun. You had more screen time in the third part. Did you receive more feedback for your performance in Drishyam The Conclusion? I guess that's the reality screen time se actors ki presence aur uske kaam aur craft ko aankhte hain. At least, that's what I feel. I am glad the makers gave more importance and space to Raghu. Last time, he became a part of the narrative and managed to catch the audience's attention. But yes, this time, the audience noticed my performance even more. I thoroughly enjoyed performing, especially since most of my scenes were with Ajay Devgn sir. This time, I also got to work with some more actors. As performers, that's what we want more and more people should watch and appreciate our work. Your character is also seen performing in a play. Were there any interesting changes made to that sequence? Originally, I was supposed to play Draupadi! But the makers and the director took a creative decision. They felt that if the depiction of Draupadi didn't come across as intended, toh arth ka anarth ho sakta hai. Hence, just a few days before the shoot, my role in the play was changed from Draupadi to Chanakya. There were also some scenes featuring me, beautifully written by Aamil Keeyan Khan, which further established Raghu Nayak's love for acting. However, they were edited out, probably because they didn't fit into the film's pace and rhythm. Also, the scenes that were retained were enough for the audience to understand his world and life. Nevertheless, those deleted scenes were quite interesting and had some fun one-liners as well. How was the experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat? It was amazing. You understand why they are so respected in the world of acting. You can sense that they draw from their real-life experiences while performing. The way they respond to a scene or your dialogue, you realize that there's a certain depth to their performances. Nothing feels shallow. I come from a theatre background and it's easy for us to recognize when actors are completely immersed in their characters. It's almost as if you're not talking to the actor but to the character himself. Hence, I got to learn a lot from both Ajay sir and Jaideep sir. While going through your filmography, one thing that stands out is that you have played a cop quite a few times (Laughs) I have done around 15-17 roles and, in most of them, I have played a police inspector. My friends even joke, 'Ek permanent vardi silwa lo'! But I have no complaints. I am happy to be getting interesting roles and opportunities to perform for the audience. Also, whether it was Sector 36 (2024) or Vedaa (2024), my characters had significance. They were not limited to saying 'Tumhe giraftar kiya jaata hai' or 'Police ne tumhe chaaro taraf se gher liya hai'! They had a lot more to say and do. In Criminal Justice, I again played a cop, but the character also had a personal life that was explored. In the Drishyam series, Raghu Nayak is an aspiring actor and often expresses his desire to pursue a career in acting. In real life, did you also always want to become an actor? Yes, you could say that. I am from Jaipur and I was in Class 6 or 7 when I performed at a 'Bal Sabha' in my school. I received a lot of applause from my teachers and classmates. You can say I tasted blood that day! When I was in Class 9, I read an interview with Irrfan Khan sir in which he credited NSD (National School of Drama) for his journey. I immediately opened the directory and called NSD. I asked them how I could get admission to the institute. The person on the other end asked me, 'What do you do?'. I replied, 'I am a student in Class 9'. He said, 'Beta, pehle graduate ho ke aao'! From that day onwards, I decided that I would graduate only so that I could get admission to NSD. In 2006, I attended an NSD workshop but didn't get selected for admission. I prepared again in 2007 and, luckily, I got selected. It was a life-changing experience. You were also a part of Poster Boys (2017) I did a play called Main Hoon Yusuf Aur Ye Hai Mera Bhai. The associate director of Poster Boys saw the play and asked me to audition for a role. I had just arrived in Mumbai and hadn't faced the camera much. But I was happy that an offer had come my way and immediately accepted it. It was a fun experience. I got a chance to meet Shreyas Talpade and we hit it off very well. In fact, I am also a part of his upcoming directorial, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei. Did you get a chance to interact with Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol? Yes. It was a comeback film of sorts for Bobby sir. Since we shot together for around 30-35 days, I got plenty of opportunities to interact with both of them and we developed a bond. In fact, Sunny sir had prepared a speech from Othello as part of his preparation to apply to a drama school in London. He has never spoken about it openly, but I know about it (smiles). What's next? I continue to do theatre. I recently performed in a play called Virasat. It's a fascinating experiment a live performance that goes on for three-and-a-half hours! It is directed by Anuradha Kapur, former director of NSD, and produced by the KNMA group from Delhi. The script has been written by Mahesh Elkunchwar, the prominent Marathi playwright. As for films, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei will be released soon. I am also a part of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga 2. Since I was in the first part, I have a small role in the sequel as well.

Rasika Dugal is set to return to the big screen with Little Thomas, taking on a character that is markedly different from the one audiences have come to associate with her in Mirzapur. While Beena Tripathi is known for her sharp gaze, controlled intensity and unapologetic attitude, Rasikas character Jessie Miranda belongs to a different emotional space, allowing the actress to explore a softer side of her craft. Set in 1990s Goa, Little Thomas follows the story of a young boy and his parents. Rasika plays Jessie Miranda, a mother whose world revolves around her family, her bakery and her love for music. The difference between Jessie and Beena goes beyond their appearances, with the actress making a conscious effort to develop a distinct identity for her latest character. Talking about working on Mirzapur and Little Thomas simultaneously, Rasika said, Surprisingly, I enjoyed juggling a crime action thriller and a dramedy. I guess one was a relief from the other, One of the challenges was switching between the accents required for the two projects. While Beenas character called for a strong North Indian Hindi accent, Jessie required a Goan accent. Explaining the experience, Rasika said, The switch in accents was the confusing bit but also an interesting challenge. The actress worked with a dialect coach to ensure that Jessies voice remained distinct and did not carry traces of her Mirzapur character. The effort was part of a larger process of separating the two personalities. While Beenas world is shaped by survival, power and revenge, Jessie is rooted in her family life and her passion for music. Rasika also spent months learning to play the piano for Little Thomas. Her preparation involved studying pieces by composers such as Mozart, Schumann and Chopin. Reflecting on how the process became an important part of building her character, she said, Jessie's love for playing the piano became more a part of my prep work than Kaushal and I intended it to be. But it unexpectedly gave me an entry into a world that I felt I didn't know so well. Rasika trained in piano for four months while working on the film. Recalling how she balanced the preparation with her other commitments, she said, I happily played away between filming scenes of a horror show. For the actress, learning the instrument became more than a requirement for the role. It offered her a way to understand Jessies interests and connect with a side of the character that was far removed from Beena Tripathi. Rather than carrying forward the intensity associated with her Mirzapur role, Rasika approached Jessie through her warmth, vulnerabilities and everyday experiences. With Little Thomas, Rasika continues to explore characters that occupy different emotional spaces. While Beena Tripathi remains one of her recognisable screen roles, Jessie Miranda gives her an opportunity to move away from that familiar persona and portray a woman whose life is shaped by family, music and quieter emotions. The contrast between the two characters also reflects the actresss effort to approach each role on its own terms.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has spoken about her association with Hunkkaar: The Roar, a JioHotstar series that explores power, belief, perception and the pursuit of justice. Serving as an executive producer on the project, the actor-producer said she was drawn to its subject and the approach taken by the creative team. The series premiered on JioHotstar on September 25, 2026. It is produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment in association with Purple Pebble Pictures, Chopra Jonas production company, and is a Mangata Films production. Speaking about the project, Chopra Jonas said, Im always drawn to stories that have depth and meaning, and Hunkkaar: The Roar is one such story. It takes on a deeply sensitive subject and tells the story with honesty and conviction. I have immense respect for Nitya and Karan, Applause and the entire team for the thought and care theyve brought to this project. Im proud that Purple Pebble Pictures could be part of this journey. Directed by Karan D. Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia, Hunkkaar: The Roar follows Meenu Rawat, a 17-year-old girl who accuses a powerful spiritual leader of sexual assault. As the case attracts national attention, the series examines the influence of power and the challenges involved in seeking justice. The story centres on a sensitive subject and looks at the structures surrounding the case as it unfolds. Chopra Jonas said she appreciated the thought and care that the team had brought to the project. Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Purple Pebble Pictures approach to storytelling Chopra Jonas established Purple Pebble Pictures with an emphasis on supporting new talent and bringing distinctive stories to a wider audience.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Actress Gauahar Khan has criticised Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi for his behaviour towards fellow contestant Scout. The actress stated that according to her, Salman Khans support for him may have gone to his head. The actress took to social media to call out Qazi for spitting in Scouts ear and making unnecessary remarks, expressing hope that Salman would address his behaviour during the upcoming weekend episode. Sharing her views, Gauahar said, What happens is, when you are praised a lot, then many times, the fear is that you might get hit on the head. Right? And in my first week, I said that I really hope that Kazi doesn't do something wrong or he doesn't go the wrong way. And, he did. According to me, spitting in his ear or boasting about him was very wrong. And, I really hope, for Qazi's sake, that on this weekend, Salman, definitely, definitely, tells him that somewhere or the other, his joke is going a little over the top. And, it will start getting monotonous and a little irritating. So, it's not cool what he did with Scout. In another social media post, Gauahar praised Mahhi Vij for standing up for her friend Gullu Gullu during a heated confrontation with Nakuul. The altercation reportedly began after Nakuul told Scout about Qazi allegedly boasting about spitting in his ear and making remarks about him. Scout and Young reacted to the information, while Nakuul later explained that he had overheard Qazis comments. When Gullu asked Nakuul not to fuel the situation, the exchange escalated, with Nakuul allegedly charging towards Gullu and the two getting into a physical scuffle. Mahhi intervened in defence of her friend and was seen confronting Nakuul, raising her voice and hitting him on the back as he moved towards Gullu.

Koffee With Karan 9 premiere: When and where to stream Salman Khan episode
A physical altercation between Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, and Nakul Dhull has sparked a fresh controversy inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. Following the confrontation, Gullus team has accused Nakul of entering the Salman Khan-hosted reality show with an intention to pick a fight with him and has questioned how details of the incident allegedly surfaced before it took place. Tuesdays episode appeared to hint at some history of conflict between the two contestants. During the confrontation, Nakul was heard threatening Gullu, saying, Gurgaon mein aa ke marunga, jab bole tab. Gullu responded by calling him out, saying, Story kaa badmash hai tu. Nakul then referred to an alleged earlier incident involving Gullu, saying, Goa bhaga tha na tu. Mere gaon ke ladke aaye the na, Goa bhag gaya tha tu. As the argument escalated, Mahhi Vij intervened and remarked, Ye firak mein hai do din se maarne ki. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Gullus team questions how fight was allegedly leaked beforehand Following the altercation, Gullus team addressed the incident through his social media channel. The team questioned why someone with alleged unresolved issues with Gullu was allowed to enter the reality show. This is so unfair. How are people like this even allowed to enter the house in the first place, and for what reason? the team wrote. Gullus team further alleged that Nakul had entered the house with a plan to fight with Gullu and questioned whether the confrontation was pre-planned. The team also raised questions about reports surrounding the altercation allegedly emerging on Saturday, a day before the fight reportedly took place on Sunday. Physical altercation between him and Gullu was leaked on Saturday when the actual fight happened on Sunday. How could such specific information about an incident be out a day before it even happened? Because, at that point, the incident hadnt even taken place in real time, the team stated. Team demands action against Nakul Dhull Gullus team also condemned what it described as unnecessary physical violence and an alleged breach of personal boundaries inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. Secondly, unnecessary physical violence and crossing someones personal boundaries are absolutely unacceptable. Bigg Boss is a show, not a place where people should be allowed to threaten or physically attack others, the team said. Maintaining that Gullu had entered the reality show to participate in the competition rather than be targeted, his team called for action against Nakul. It referred to Nakul as a goon and concluded its statement with a demand for his eviction.

Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006) has attained cult status, thanks to its unusual yet relatable subject, hilarious and emotional moments, memorable performances and quirky characters. It is also considered one of the earliest films to kickstart the 'Delhi wave' in Bollywood. As a result, expectations are tremendous from its sequel, Khosla Ka Ghosla 2. The film was earlier scheduled to release on August 28, 2026. However, on October 13, the makers, T-Series, announced that it will now arrive in cinemas on March 5, 2027. In other words, Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 will release just days before Eid and hence could clash with Monster. The Salman Khan-starrer is scheduled for an Eid 2027 release. Eid is expected to fall on Wednesday, March 10, and that's when the film might arrive in cinemas. However, there's also a possibility that it could release on Friday, March 5, thereby setting the stage for an unexpected box-office clash. Interestingly, if this happens, it could mark the first time in nearly 16 years that a film has taken on Salman Khan during Eid, a festive period considered his stronghold. The last notable instance was way back in 2011, when Salman Khan's Bodyguard arrived in cinemas on August 31 alongside Kirron Kher-starrer Mummy Punjabi and the Pakistani film Bol. Two days later, on September 2, Kalki Koechlin-starrer That Girl In Yellow Boots also hit the big screen. Since then, Salman Khan has had several theatrical Eid releases, including Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Sultan (2016), Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018), Bharat (2019), Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) and Sikandar (2025). None of these films faced a comparable direct theatrical clash on Eid. There were talks that Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Raees might collide with Sultan on Eid 2016. However, the period action film was eventually pushed to Republic Day 2017. This makes Khosla Ka Ghosla 2's release announcement significant. Even if one assumes that Monster will arrive five days later, the Anupam Kher-starrer will still enter cinemas immediately before Salman Khan's much-awaited biggie, something that not many filmmakers have attempted in recent years. Whether the two films ultimately clash on the same day or arrive a few days apart remains to be seen. Besides Anupam Kher, Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 brings back Boman Irani, Ranvir Shorey, Parvin Dabas, Tara Sharma and Kiran Juneja. This time, they are joined by Ravi Kishan, Divya Khossla, Nishant Verma, Kangan Baruah Nangia and Danish Iqbal. Directed by Priya Mishra and Prashant Bhagia, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar's T-Series Films, and Savita Raj Hiremath and Raj Hiremath's Tandav Films.
