Saif Ali Khan says Priyadarshan reminds him of his dad Tiger Pataudi; says, Both cricketers and both lost an eye but great in their professional space

Saif Ali Khan is looking forward to his upcoming film Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan and co-starring Akshay Kumar. In the film, Saif plays a visually impaired musician and martial arts coach. Interestingly, the actor has drawn a personal connection between his director and his late father, legendary cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, popularly known as Tiger Pataudi. Both Priyadarshan and Pataudi were cricketers who lost an eye, but continued to make their mark in their respective fields. Speaking about Priyadarshans working style, Saif said, Priyadarshan is like Clint Eastwood, senior and calm. He reminds me of my dad. Both cricketers and both lost an eye but great in their professional space. Priyadarshan gives you just one take so you have to make quick decisions as an actor and he wraps up shoot in time every single day. Haiwaan also marks Saif and Akshay Kumars seventh film together. Saif believes Akshays role as the antagonist has added another layer to the project. Akshay playing the villain elevated the project. It's the first time I'm playing a strong author backed role in a film with him. Recalling their first collaboration in Yeh Dillagi, he said the film helped establish their friendship. He also remembered their 40-day shoot in Shimla and joked about Akshays spot boy singing Khiladi songs outside his room early in the morning. Saif revealed that both Akshay and Priyadarshan consider Haiwaan his best work. Explaining his character, he said, There is an interesting backstory to the character, his mother wanted him to learn music so he wouldn't get bored and his father made him learn martial arts because he would fall down a lot as a child. He added, I too believe this is my best in a long time and cant wait for the audience to see it. The actor also addressed his viral internet moments and his reputation for being ahead of Gen Z humour. Speaking about a clip in which he appeared to be seeking blessings from his own poster, Saif said, It was a huge poster of myself so I was just wishing the film and me good luck. I am childlike and a little mad. I've been in the profession for 35 years so I was a very different person at 21-22 years old, when I made statements that are going viral now. Saif also reflected on living more fully in the present, saying, That could be true but it also comes with age, when asked if the realisation came after his 2025 home invasion and stabbing incident. He admitted that while he has never liked security, I've never liked security but sometimes its necessary. The actor, who celebrated his birthday on August 16, spent the occasion in England with close friends and family. We celebrated at a close friend's house, where we cooked an Indian meal and had a glass of wine. The kids were playing around and it was a lovely time. Talking about his four children, Saif said they all have distinct personalities. All the four kids have very different personalities. Ofcourse Sara and Ibrahim are older and then there are these two. Taimur seems quiet but is not necessarily that. I'm aware the internet is full of jokes about Jeh, the firecracker younger brother. We are just very blessed to have all this.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas says respect for her roots is important to her relationship with Nick Jonas: I don't know if I'd love him if he didn't respect

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas have often spoken about embracing each others cultures and traditions, with their cross-cultural marriage becoming an example of how mutual understanding can strengthen a relationship. Priyanka has now opened up about the importance of Nicks respect for her Indian roots, revealing that it plays a significant role in their bond. The couple first sparked dating rumours after appearing together at the 2017 Met Gala. Their relationship progressed quickly, with Nick proposing to Priyanka in July 2018 after two months of dating. The singer reportedly even shut down the Tiffany & Co. store in London while looking for an engagement ring weeks before the proposal. Priyanka and Nick later married in India in two ceremonies. Speaking to E! News about Nicks understanding of her Indian culture and traditions, Priyanka highlighted how important it is for partners in multicultural relationships to respect each others backgrounds. She said, I don't know if I'd love him if he didn't. That is a big part of any story or any relationship that is multicultural. I think it's really important to have a sense of respect for your partner's roots. Priyanka also spoke about what helps keep their relationship strong, stressing the importance of kindness between partners. She said, Being kind to your partner. That's something that's really important. Nick has frequently accompanied Priyanka on her trips to India and has participated in Indian festivals and traditions. He has also been seen enjoying Indian food. During her upcoming appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Priyanka is expected to share another romantic anecdote about Nick. She revealed that he once took her above the clouds in his plane so she could see the moon and break her Karva Chauth fast. Calling him deeply romantic, she said, Apne plane mein clouds ke upar leke gaye aur chaand dekh ke vrat toda. On the work front, Priyanka has SS Rajamoulis Varanasi lined up with Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is scheduled for a Sankranti 2027 release. She also has the second season of Citadel and the sci-fi action thriller Bluefly in her upcoming projects.

Aaditi Pohankar returns as Pammi in Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 4

Aaditi Pohankar is set to return to the world of Ek Badnaam Aashram with the upcoming fourth season of Prakash Jhas crime drama. The actor has begun shooting for the new instalment and will reprise her role as Pammi, a character whose journey has evolved significantly throughout the series. Pohankar has also been sharing glimpses of her shoot life on Instagram Stories, offering fans a look at her return to the sets of Aashram. Her comeback is expected to be closely watched by viewers who have followed Pammis transformation from an innocent wrestler to a woman determined to stand against Baba Nirala. The fourth season arrives after a considerable wait. Earlier reports suggested that the new instalment was preparing to go on floors, and recent updates have confirmed the return of key members of the cast, including Bobby Deol, Aaditi Pohankar and Chandan Roy Sanyal. In the previous season, Pammis quest for revenge against Baba Nirala became more intense. Her growing closeness to Bhopa Swami was presented as more than a personal relationship, with the storyline suggesting that it could be connected to a larger plan to challenge the ashrams power structure. The official material for Aashram had also hinted at Pammi and Bhopas relationship playing a role in a possible attempt to bring down Baba Nirala. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prakash Jha Productions (@prakashjproductions) Pammis evolution remains one of the central aspects of her character. Introduced as a young wrestler who became caught in Baba Niralas growing influence, she gradually emerged as one of the strongest figures willing to oppose him. Pohankar had earlier described Pammi as the character through whom audiences enter the story, while her journey has taken her from being a victim to someone ready to fight back. For Pohankar, the role has also become an important part of her career. Her work across projects such as Lai Bhaari, She and Aashram has seen her take on characters with different emotional and physical demands. With Season 4 now underway, viewers will be waiting to see how Pammis story unfolds. Baba Niralas world appears to be heading towards another turning point, and the biggest question remains: what will Pammi do next? If her journey so far is any indication, she is unlikely to step back quietly. Also Read : Aaditi Pohankar leads JioHotstars passionate new romantic-revenge drama Ziddi Ishq

Taapsee Pannu says Gandhari brings a different kind of rage and emotion: This was way more emotional for me to attempt in action

Taapsee Pannu is set to return to the action genre with her upcoming film Gandhari. Directed by Devashish Makhija and written by Kanika Dhillon, the action thriller centres on a mothers determination to protect her daughter. The film marks Taapsees return to action after Baby and Naam Shabana. Speaking about what prompted her to take up another action project, Taapsee explained that she wanted the film to offer something beyond the genre itself. Taapsee said, And Gandhari itself, I think, when I had always told her, looking forward to doing action again after Naam Shabana and Baby, it's just that I want to, the stakes should be higher. It should be better, is why I should attempt action again, not just because it's the flavor of the season. I did that way before action became the, you know, the flavor of the season genre, the spy became the flavor of the season. I did it long back. I don't want to repeat myself. I'll just do, I'll do it when I feel the stakes are higher, there's something beautiful for me to step into, and that's when Gandhari was a story in her mind. She didn't even have, like, a full fleshed-out script when she narrated this to me, but this is the idea I have. This is the basic storyline Taapsee also highlighted the emotional aspect of Gandhari, saying that the characters motivation makes the action different from her previous roles. The actor noted that fighting for a child carries a different emotional weight compared with fighting as part of a mission or profession. And when she saw that I'm interested to step into, like, because this is a different kind of rage, or a different kind of emotion that you have to put in use when you're fighting for your daughter versus when you're probably fighting for as a job or, you know, like a mission. That's a different flavor altogether. So this was way more emotional for me to attempt in action. This is not just action; it's got a lot of emotional action attached. With Gandhari, Taapsee is exploring an action-driven story rooted in a mother-daughter relationship. The film brings together action and personal stakes, with the central character driven by her determination to protect her daughter.

Pankaj Tripathi revisits his theatre days during Mirzapur: The Movie promotions in Patna: Memories from those days came flooding back

The popular crime franchise Mirzapur, which became a major title in Indian streaming, is now heading to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, the film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. It is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on September 4, 2026. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, along with co-producers Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani, the film continues the story that first gained a following in 2018. The big-screen adaptation features an ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Abhishek Banerjee, Rasika Dugal, Mohitt Maalik, Sheeba Chadha, Rajesh Tailang, Pramod Pathak, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Shweta Tripathi and Sonal S Chauhan. The film will also see the return of popular characters such as Divyenndus Munna Bhaiya, Kulbhushan Kharbandas Satyanand Tripathi and Shriya Pilgaonkars Sweety Gupta. During a promotional event for the film in Patna, Pankaj Tripathi revisited an important chapter of his early career. Addressing the crowd in Bihar, the actor recalled the days when he was a theatre artist working to establish himself before making his mark in films. Tripathi remembered travelling by bicycle from Kankarbagh to Khagaul for theatre rehearsals. He shared how those early experiences remain closely connected to his journey as an actor. Recalling his first play at the N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul, Pankaj Tripathi said, It was right here that I performed my very first play at N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul. For about a month and a half, I used to cycle all the way from Kankarbagh to come here for the performances. So, when I arrived at the station 30 years later and saw the NC Ghosh building, memories from those days came flooding back. Returning to Danapur station decades later, this time amid fans and as an established actor, brought back memories of his early struggles and theatre days. Tripathi also spoke about his connection with Bihar and expressed pride in witnessing the regions growth and the warmth he continues to receive there. For the actor, the visit was more than just part of the films promotional campaign. It became an opportunity to revisit the journey that began with theatre, long before he became widely recognised on screen.

Hema Malini opens up about life after Dharmendras passing; says, Im living with his memories

Hema Malini, one of Hindi cinemas most celebrated actors, has spoken about life after the passing of her husband and veteran actor Dharmendra. The actor-politician, who has largely stayed away from films in recent years, also addressed questions about a possible return to acting and shared how she is coping with the loss of her longtime partner. In a recent conversation with The Times of India, Hema Malini said she no longer thinks about returning to acting. The 77-year-old actor explained that she is currently focused on her responsibilities as a politician and her family. She said she is content with running her constituency, helping people and returning home to spend time with her children and grandchildren, who need her. The conversation also touched upon the absence of Dharmendra, whose death has left a deep void in her life. Speaking about her husband, Hema said she is living with his memories and that those memories are enough for her to continue with life. She recalled how Dharmendra remained one of her biggest sources of strength and constantly encouraged her to pursue her passion for classical dance. Go ahead, dont stop. Continue with your dance, Dharmendra would often tell her, she recalled. Hema also admitted that she has not been able to fully process his loss. According to the actor, the grief is something that may never completely disappear. The couples relationship was frequently discussed and scrutinised publicly, but Hema said they never allowed outside opinions to dictate their lives. We lived our lives according to us, not for people who wanted to criticise or judge us. We lived with true love. Right from the beginning, we knew we were meant for each other. Nobody could change that, she said. Addressing longstanding reports of differences with the Deol family, Hema dismissed the claims as fabricated. She maintained that they are a united family and urged people not to believe everything they see online, describing them as a very happy family.
