The last speech of the day was by Yash and he requested people to support Namit Malhotras vision. Yash said, Anybody can make a movie. Anybody can dream of making a film. But only a few people will have that kind of passion, dedication, determination and madness. As Indians, I am telling you, we need to protect this guy (Namit Malhotra). Its our responsibility because this man was comfortably doing business. I know what position hes in. Everytime I met him in LA, he always spoke about one thing, We all are doing so much here. Indians have done so much. But we should do it for our Indian film industry. We are winning Oscars. But I am not happy. I want our industry to be placed at that level. That is the day well happy. This is what he said. He added, That was the day I decided to collaborate with him. I told him, Namit, lets go. Lets do whatever it takes because thats the most important vision.

But please dont try to find small faults in the VFX. Itll never happen again. If we lose people like him now, well go back many years. So, lets watch Ramayana with an open mind. He has all the right intentions. When it comes to any criticism or correction, he has always taken it in stride and tried to make it better. Ramayana releases in cinemas worldwide on November 5.

Ram Gopal Varma calls Tiger Shroff firing incident never before seen phenomenon; questions alleged motive

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has reacted to the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, describing it as a never before seen phenomenon. In his remarks, Varma drew attention to what he believes could be an unusual motive behind the attack, suggesting that the unidentified assailants may have been driven by vanity and pride rather than reasons typically associated with criminal shootings. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Varma wrote, What happened with @iTIGERSHROFF is a never before seen phenomenon ..Instead of killings relating to extortion , contract murders , settlements etc , for the first time ever , they seem to be wanting to kill for vanity and pride What happened with @iTIGERSHROFF is a never before seen phenomenon ..Instead of killings relating to extortion , contract murders , settlements etc , for the first time ever , they seem to be wanting to kill for vanity and pride Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) October 19, 2026 Varmas reaction comes amid an ongoing investigation into the shooting reported in Mumbais Juhu area on October 18. While the filmmaker has offered his interpretation of the possible motive, the police investigation into the incident is still underway, and the reason behind the attack has not been officially established. What happened in the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff? The incident reportedly took place on the evening of October 18, 2026, when Tiger Shroff was leaving a football ground in Juhu in his car. According to reports, unidentified men riding a motorcycle fired multiple rounds at the vehicle. The actor escaped without sustaining any gunshot wounds. However, he suffered minor injuries from gunpowder and glass shards. Photographs taken later showed bandages on his arm, shoulder and chest. His driver and a bystander were also injured in the incident. The shooting prompted an investigation by the Mumbai Police to identify those involved and establish the circumstances surrounding the attack. Three suspects detained in Rajasthan, investigation continues As the investigation progressed, three suspects were reportedly detained or arrested in Kota, Rajasthan, on October 19 while they were travelling by train. Reports have indicated that the suspects included individuals from Haryana and Bihar. Meanwhile, claims circulating on social media have sought to link the incident to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, this alleged connection remains unverified by the police and should not be treated as an established fact. The investigation is ongoing, with the motive behind the shooting yet to be officially confirmed.

20 years of Don EXCLUSIVE: Cinematographer KU Mohanan recalls Shah Rukh Khan driving through fire in chase scene: There was no duplicate. He will do anything you tell him; also shares why the films twisted climax added to its success

Farhan Akhtars Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don: The Chase Begins Again(2006) completed 20 years today. The film was a remake of Chandra Barots Don (1978), starring Amitabh Bachchan. Produced by Excel Entertainment and also starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Om Puri, Boman Irani, Arjun Rampal and Isha Koppikar, the action flick became a success at the box office. It was a major moment for mainstream Hindi cinema as sequels werent a regular feature back then. Even after two decades, Don doesnt appear old. A major reason for this is the visuals provided by cinematographer KU Mohanan. Interestingly, this was the first time he had worked in a mainstream commercial film. Mohanan revealed that there were apprehensions because of this before he came on board in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama. He said, At that time, I was mainly doing advertising work. I was quite big in advertising films. Maybe, thats why Farhan got an idea about my work. But he knew I hadnt done any big feature film before. He was a little apprehensive also in the beginning if I would be able to pull it off. This was a huge film. He expressed his concerns and asked me if I would like to do it. I said I will try because even I was not very sure about myself. But I took it as a challenge and accepted the film. Challenges of shooting action sequences Mohanan faced that challenge of shooting high-octane action sequences for the first time. It was very challenging, he said. But we had a good team, like the second unit director and the action team. The main person was from Australia. He had worked in many Hollywood and international films. We really wanted to make it look world class. Most of the action scenes were done in real. The chase sequences were done in that speed. There wasnt too much of cheating. Certain things which we couldnt do in real were done with a little VFX. At that time, VFX was not very popular. It wasnt easy to do VFX. Shah Rukh Khans daredevilry made things easier Mohanan shared that SRK made things easier and he was amazed by his commitment towards shooting action scenes. He will do anything you tell him, he recalled. He used to get very excited for action, even at times when I used to get scared. I was sitting behind him in the car with the hand-held camera during a chase scene. He was driving the car and hitting the water barrel that was coming on the windscreen and then hitting a road roller. Everything is done by him. There was no duplicate. One particular scene involving fire astonished Mohanan about the kind of risks Khan was ready to take. There is also a scene where the car is going through a fireball. That car is driven by Shah Rukh Khan. It wasnt a stunt double. There was a camera mounted in front of the car, so you can see the actor. He did it twice. He is the greatest star I have worked with. He is a such a great, gentle and warm human being. He is a very hardworking actor and very supportive to everybody. He is a dream to work with. More than a star, I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan as a person, he said. Don started a good professional bond between Mohanan and SRK, which continued in various projects in the years to come. Shah Rukh is very fond of me maybe because of the quality of work I come with. He really appreciated the way I worked in Don. Thats the reason I did Raees (2017) and Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017). After that, I did innumerable TV commercials with him, he recalled. The end twist played a major role in Dons box office success Interestingly, KU Mohanan is a big fan of the original Don. It released when he was a school student in Kerala. He was glad to know that Farhan Akhtars remake threw in a major twist in the end. It was so exciting for me to re-do that film as a cinematographer, he said. When I read the script and saw the twist, I felt it was very interesting. Otherwise, what is the point of making it exactly like before? Thats a great twist that Farhan brought in. Maybe thats one of the reasons why the film worked at the box office. We had a very strong team along with the great vision of Farhan Akhtar. He is very supportive as a director and a great producer, along with Ritesh Sidhwani. Dons international look was an effort to break the existing pattern in Bollywood back then Don had an international look to it. Mohanan said that this is what they always aimed for. We were trying to break the regular pattern of Bollywood cinema existing at that time, he said. Anyways, I am exposed to international cinema. Actually more than Hollywood, I am exposed to other kind of cinema the cinema from Europe, Japan, etc. So, I have a different kind of way of looking at things. Maybe that worked in the film actually. Thats why it looks different. Mohanan made it clear that despite taking inspiration from international cinema, his aim was never to copy anything from foreign films. You can get inspired by someone elses work. You can get influenced by people who worked before us. Its like carrying a baton forward. I tried to make it look very unique and our own. To an extent, I think, I succeeded in doing Don. It wasnt a copy of Hollywood. But it also wasnt like the regular Hindi cinema of that period, he said. The green colour palette One can easily notice the green colour palette to the film right from the onset. Sharing the thought behind this, Mohanan said, When we did the camera and look test, Farhan, myself, the production designer Aradhana Seth and the costume designer Aki Narula discussed decided that we will go with one particular colour palette. Its a collaborative work, actually. We also decided that we will cut off certain type of a colour. For example, there are no warm colours in the film; its a very cold film. You have shades of blue, green and black. We thought this looks like a good colour palette for the film. Otherwise, Hindi cinema was not doing any colour palette at that time. There wasnt a properly paletted film. It was all haywire. There is only one song (Yeh Mera Dil Pyaar Ka Deewana) where there is a lot of warmth, like red, orange, etc. Don started a healthy working relationship between KU Mohanan and Excel Entertainment Don was a pleasurable experience for KU Mohanan. It became a start to a long collaboration with Excel Entertainment, with movies like, Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012), Fukrey (2013) and Raees. He laughingly said, Most of my filmography is produced by Excel Entertainment. They are very good producers. They are very straightforward and very quality conscious. Thats the reason I did most of my films with them. Ritesh Sidhwani is a very great producer. Surprisingly, Mohanan wasnt a part of Dons sequel Don 2: The Chase Continues (2011). When pointed this out, he said, I was busy with some other work actually.

Anand Pandit and Pushkar Jog team up for Hindi comedy Ghanti, film wraps UK shoot

Producer Anand Pandit is collaborating with actor, director and producer Pushkar Jog for the eighth time. Their latest project, Ghanti, marks their first co-production in Hindi. Produced under Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Jogs Goosebumps Entertainment, the film is a madcap comedy that extends their partnership, which has previously included several Marathi films. Directed by Jog, Ghanti stars Sharman Joshi, Shonali Nagrani, Rajesh Kumar and Resham Tipnis. The makers have completed filming across the United Kingdom. Pandit has backed projects across regional film industries, particularly Marathi and Gujarati cinema. His previous Marathi collaborations with Jog include Well Done Baby, Victoria, Baap Manus and Musafiraa. With Ghanti, the two are bringing their creative partnership to Hindi cinema. Pandit has also spoken about the increasingly blurred boundaries between regional-language industries and the scope for Indian cinema to reach audiences across linguistic markets. His work across languages reflects his interest in taking regional talent to a wider audience. Speaking about the film, Pandit said, Good comedy often comes from ordinary situations that take completely unexpected turns. With Ghanti, we wanted to back a story that embraces the absurd and gives its characters the freedom to surprise audiences. Our eighth collaboration with Pushkar and Goosebumps Entertainment is also a milestone for us, reflecting the creative trust we have built over the years. Written by Rachita Kapoor and Abid Hussain, Ghanti revolves around a caretaker who secretly plans to rent out an empty farmhouse. However, his plan takes an unexpected turn when a succession of guests arrives. As he attempts to prevent their secrets from coming to light, the seemingly straightforward arrangement leads to a series of increasingly unpredictable situations. Jog added, The fun of Ghanti lies in watching a simple plan unravel as new characters enter the picture and find themselves caught in increasingly unpredictable and hilarious situations. The distinctive setting gives the story room to build its own comic chaos. Filming across the UK has been a memorable experience, and I look forward to sharing this world and its characters with audiences.

Ahan Shetty BREAKS silence on Tiger Shroff firing incident: Happy that he's safe; Vikram Bhatt takes a hilarious dig at Gen Z at 1920 Cold Winter launch: Sirf Gen Z ka hi haq nahin hai jeene ka!

Ahan Shetty, Anya Singh, Larissa Bonesi, Vikram Bhatt and Anand Pandit attended the launch of their film 1920 Cold Winter in Mumbai. The event started nearly two hours late, but the team made up for the delay with a unique AV presentation that resembled a virtual coffee-table book. Vikram Bhatt was asked whether his horror film will have enough to attract the Gen Z. Vikram, in his trademark style, raised laughs as he said, Yeh Gen Z ko lekar main bahut pareshan hoon! I am told, 'Gen Z aisa hai, Gen Z waisa hai'. Kaisa hai Gen Z yaar? He added, Horror mein ya toh sound effects se kuch suddenly aata hai. Ya fir slow background music bajta hai aur kuch aata hi nahin hai! You can tell your story in different ways. I am not of the opinion that one should especially make a film with Gen Z. I want audiences of all ages to like my film, not just Gen Z. Sirf Gen Z ka hi haq nahin hai jeene ka. Baaki logon ka bhi hai! He continued, 1920 apne aap mein hi ek alag kisam ki film hai. It's a clear horror film and would be enjoyed by all kinds of audiences. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lipika Varma (@lipikavarma) A journalist asked Vikram Bhatt to comment on the recent firing incident involving Tiger Shroff.

25 Years Of Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein: Jackky Bhagnani recalls how Maddy and Reena Found a permanent place in audiences hearts; says, Audience have their favourite scenes, songs and own memories attached to the film

Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM), which features R Madhavan, Dia Mirza and Saif Ali Khan, completes 25 years on October 19. While the romantic drama has grown into a cult favourite over the years, its characters, music and memorable scenes continue to connect with audiences across generations. On the films anniversary, Jackky Bhagnani, who worked as an assistant on the project, reflected on its making and the lasting popularity of Maddy and Reena. Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon and produced by Vashu Bhagnani, the film marked an important phase in the careers of its lead actors. It introduced Madhavan to Hindi cinema in a leading role and marked Dia Mirzas entry into Bollywood. Looking back at the films enduring appeal, Jackky spoke about how its relationship with audiences has continued long after its release. When we were making RHTDM, none of us could have imagined that 25 years later, people would still be talking about Maddy and Reena with this kind of affection. What makes the film special is that the audience has made it their own. They have their favourite scenes, their favourite songs and their own memories attached to the film. That is something you cannot manufacture through marketing or a release strategy. It happens when a story finds a permanent place in people's lives. Recalling how the project came together, Jackky highlighted his father Vashu Bhagnanis decision to adapt the Tamil film Minnale for Hindi-speaking audiences. He also spoke about Madhavans role in bringing Gautham Menon on board to direct the Hindi version and Dia Mirzas casting as Reena. What makes Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein particularly special to me is the story of how it came together. My father, Vashu ji, saw the potential in Minnale and wanted to bring that story to Hindi audiences. Madhavan was instrumental in making that happen; he was convinced that Gautham Menon should direct the Hindi version, and that conviction became an important part of the films journey. Dia was another wonderful discovery for the film. My father felt she had the potential to be Reena, and she brought an innocence and grace to the character that audiences continue to love. At the time, we were putting together a film with actors at important turning points in their careers. None of us could have predicted that, 25 years later, Maddy and Reena would still occupy such a special place in peoples hearts. That is the magic of cinema,, you make a film, but its relationship with the audience belongs to the audience, and sometimes that relationship lasts far longer than anyone could have imagined. The films soundtrack has also contributed to its continued popularity. Songs such as Zara Zara and Sach Keh Raha Hai continue to find listeners among younger audiences who discovered the film years after its original release. Reflecting on this continued interest, Jackky said, The most beautiful thing about RHTDM is that it never really left. A new generation discovered it, fell in love with its music and connected with Maddy and Reena without having experienced the time in which the film was made. Twenty-five years on, that is the real legacy, the film continues to find its way into people's hearts. As Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein marks 25 years, its enduring appeal remains closely associated with its romantic storyline, music and the characters of Maddy and Reena, who continue to hold a place in popular culture.
