Years after the release of Sanju, Rajkumar Hirani has explained why personal struggles, mistakes and contradictions matter more to him than conventional success stories when choosing a subject for a biographical film. Released in 2018, Sanju explored different phases of Sanjay Dutts life, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying the actor on screen. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film featured Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Anushka Sharma and Manisha Koirala in key roles. It explored subjects such as addiction, media scrutiny, personal mistakes and relationships, and went on to achieve commercial success. Following the film's release, Hirani received several offers to make biopics on other real-life personalities. However, the filmmaker has taken his time to choose his next subject. Explaining his approach to biographical storytelling, he said that a person's journey needs to go beyond achievements and include the challenges, failures and difficult decisions that shaped their life. Talking about what draws him to a real-life story, Rajkumar Hirani shared, After Sanju, many people reached out to me to make biopics. Most were success stories. But a simple success story doesn't excite me that much. I need a life with major ups and downs - great achievement, but also failure, mistakes, contradictions, difficult choices, relationships, maybe even periods when the person didn't know how their own story was going to turn out. And then there is something even more important: the person has to be willing to open the door. What made Sanju possible was that Sanjay gave me access to the parts of his life that were not flattering. He was willing to lay himself bare - the good, the bad, the embarrassing, and the painful. That gave us a human being, not just a famous person's success story. Hirani's comments highlight the importance he places on honesty and vulnerability while bringing real-life personalities to the screen. For him, a compelling biopic is not limited to celebrating a person's achievements but also examines their mistakes, personal struggles and the experiences that shaped their journey. With several real-life stories having come his way since Sanju, Hirani continues to look for a subject that offers the emotional depth and complexity he seeks in a biographical film. His next choice will depend on finding a life story that goes beyond public achievements and presents a more personal account of the individual behind the public image.

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.

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.

Pankaj Tripathi celebrated Durgashtami and Dussehra with his family in Kolkata this year, returning to a city that holds a special place in his personal life. The actor shares a close connection with Kolkata through his wife, Mridula Tripathi, whose maternal home is in the city. Over the years, his visits have strengthened his bond with its culture, traditions and people. Pankaj has frequently travelled to Kolkata with Mridula to spend time with her family and experience the citys cultural atmosphere. His association with the city has also earned him the affectionate tag of Kolkatas son-in-law. This festive season, the actor reunited with his loved ones to celebrate Durgashtami and Dussehra, embracing the traditions associated with the occasion. For Pankaj, celebrating festivals is as much about spending time with family as it is about observing rituals. Kolkatas Durga Puja celebrations, the devotion to Maa Durga and the citys festive atmosphere have long been close to his heart. Being in the city for the celebrations gave him an opportunity to reconnect with its traditions and create more memories with his family. Speaking about his connection with Kolkata and celebrating the festival there, Pankaj Tripathi said, Kolkata has always held a very special place in my heart. My relationship with this city began through Mridula and her family, but over the years, Kolkata has become so much more than just my in-laws city. It has become a place where I feel a deep sense of belonging, where I have built beautiful memories and where I always look forward to returning. People affectionately call me Kolkatas son-in-law, and I feel genuinely fortunate to have received so much love from this city. There is something truly magical about Kolkata, especially during Durga Puja. The devotion, the energy, the beautiful pandals, the traditions and the way people come together to celebrate Maa Durga are extraordinary. You can feel the citys soul during this time. I have always admired Bengals culture and its rich traditions, and being here for Durgashtami with my family makes the occasion even more special. This year is particularly memorable because as a family we are celebrating Dusshera after a very long time in Kolkata. Festivals are also a time to slow down, spend quality time with your loved ones and reconnect with the things that truly matter in life. Amidst our professional commitments and busy schedules, these moments with family become invaluable. I am happy that we could be in Kolkata this year, celebrate Durgashtami and Dussehra together, and experience the warmth and beauty of this incredible city once again. Pankajs visit highlights his continued connection with Kolkata and the family ties that have made the city an important part of his life. While the actor has visited the city over the years to spend time with his in-laws, celebrating the festivals together after a long time made this occasion particularly meaningful. His association with Kolkata reflects how family connections can develop into a lasting bond with a city and its cultural traditions.

Television actress Rinku Dhawan has spoken about the issue of typecasting in the entertainment industry. The actress, who has been part of Hindi television for nearly three decades, took to Instagram to share a cryptic note, stressing that her career should not be defined only by the negative or grey-shaded characters she has portrayed. Rinku, who began her television career in the 1990s, pointed out that she did not start out by playing negative characters. In her note, she also highlighted the importance of recognising an actor's skill and talent rather than limiting them to a particular image. Sharing the note on Instagram, Rinku wrote, Hello.. this is Rinku Dhawan / A thought that has been on my mind for a long time. I am an Actor. Please don't typecast me. I didn't start my career as an Actor in negative role/grey shade. If I have been a part of this Amazing Industry for 30 years is because of the skill, the talent .. Please don't take that away from me by Typecasting me Rinku Dhawan has worked across television shows in a career that began with Swabhimaan in 1995, where she played Neetu Malhotra. She later appeared in Hum Paanch and went on to become widely recognised for her role as Chhaya Agarwal in the Star Plus family drama Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

National Award-winning actor Vikrant Massey recently ventured into production with Musafir Cafe, the first project from his production house, Homemade Stories. The show has received appreciation from audiences across the country, with its simple yet relatable storytelling striking a chord with viewers. At a time when production houses often aim to make a big announcement with a large-scale film, Vikrant chose a story rooted in everyday emotions and human connections. During a conversation at ET Summit, when asked why he opted for a relatively simple story instead of a big-budget film for his production debut, and how challenging the decision was, Vikrant explained that he has a different perspective on how projects are categorised. He said, To be honest, I have a very different perspective towards this thing and I've had a problem lately in the last few years. And I just hope to sort of contribute in a way. Now, when I say this, what I mean is, you're absolutely right. Like, most of the times when you're probably announcing yourself or when you're coming out with a new venture, you want it to be huge. You want it to be large. And in our field, we call it a big film. Today, it's become a part of our normal language as well. This is a big film; this is a small film. I kind of have a problem with that. It really doesn't matter how big or how small a film is. You really cannot categorize it that way. What really matters in the world of storytelling is, if it is a good film or a bad film. The actor further explained how his experience with 12th Fail strengthened his belief in the power of a good story. He added saying, A big film may not necessarily be a good film. Or a small film can turn out to be a good film. And thankfully, I've been a part of that journey, when 12th Fail came out. It was actually, technically, so to say, the smallest film that year with regards to the production budget, with regards to the number of screens we had. But what kind of reiterates that very fact is that you guys watched the film. That film was the longest running film in the new millennium, post 2000, besides Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which continues to play at Maratha Mandir. In the age of multiplexes, that film ran for 8 months, which is actually unprecedented. So, that kind of validated the very philosophy that I'm talking about. A good story and a bad story, we need to categorize it that way. Speaking about the vision behind Homemade Stories, Vikrant shared that the name itself reflects the kind of cinema he hopes to champion. He said, And with regards to Homemade Stories, which is my production house, the name signifies that philosophy itself. I want to tell relatable stories. I want to tell stories that impact, that sort of stay with you. And I would not want to say that this is the only genre that I'll be dabbling in. Of course, I would want to go out there and make a large scale theatrical film also at some point in time. But largely, the idea remains that I want to tell stories that resonate with people. Play parts as an actor wherein you can see a bit of yourself or your loved ones, or you can just reminisce about your own time, your own life. And I think that sort of worked very well with Musafir Cafe. Taking the world of Musafir Cafe beyond the screen, Vikrant is also bringing the concept into the real world, with plans to open two physical replica cafs in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The initiative will allow audiences to experience a space inspired by the show, extending its appeal beyond the story itself. On the work front, Vikrant will next be seen in White, in which he portrays spiritual leader and humanitarian Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The film explores his role in peacebuilding and efforts to resolve Colombias long-running civil conflict.
