Ekta Kapoor confirms The Dirty Picture 2: I'm planning it after 15 years

Producer Ekta Kapoor has confirmed that she is working on a sequel to the 2011 film The Dirty Picture. Fifteen years after the release of the Vidya Balan-starrer, Ekta revealed that she has a story she wants to explore through the upcoming project. However, details about the films cast, storyline and release timeline remain under wraps. During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, Ekta spoke about the sequel and explained how her perspective on the story has evolved over the years. According to The Free Press Journal, she said, One very big film I'm making is The Dirty Picture 2. I'm planning it after 15 years. This time, I believe there is a story I want to tell. The Dirty Picture was about Silk Smitha. It was about a woman who was condemned for standing up against her sexuality. Ab sexuality is about your choice. Maine kabhi usse victim ki tarah nahi dekha. I saw her as someone who celebrated her sexuality, and the film did so well. The producer also indicated that the sequel would focus on a prominent personality whose life could form the basis of the narrative, much like the original film. However, she did not reveal the identity of the person whose story she plans to bring to the screen. Ekta suggested that a major announcement could be made soon. About The Dirty Picture Released in December 2011, The Dirty Picture featured Vidya Balan in the lead role, alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor. The film drew inspiration from the life of Silk Smitha, the South Indian actress who became known for her screen presence and work in the film industry. The original film explored the actress's rise to fame, her relationship with the industry and the challenges she faced while navigating public perceptions of her sexuality. Vidya's portrayal of the central character also brought attention to the complexities of a woman's choices and the judgments surrounding them. With The Dirty Picture 2, Ekta appears interested in exploring another story centred on a prominent figure, although it remains unclear whether the sequel will follow a similar narrative approach or introduce a different perspective. While Ekta has spoken about her plans for the project, further details are awaited. The makers have not yet announced the cast, director or release date, leaving the film's central subject and other aspects of the production undisclosed.

Kangana Ranaut offers prayers at Ayodhyas Ram Temple: It is always a great privilege

Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut recently visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and offered prayers to Lord Ram. The actress shared pictures from her visit on Instagram, giving her followers a glimpse of her time at the temple. In the first photograph, Kangana was seen bowing before the Ram Lalla idol with her hands folded in prayer. Other pictures showed her offering prayers inside the temple complex, which features intricate carvings and traditional architectural details. Sharing the photographs, she captioned the post, Jai Shri Ram. Jai Ayodhya Dham. Kangana was also photographed among devotees and priests during her visit. In one of the pictures, a priest was seen applying a tika to her forehead as people gathered around her for a glimpse of the actress and politician. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kangana Ranaut (@kanganaranaut) For the temple visit, Kangana opted for traditional Indian attire. She wore a cream-coloured silk saree featuring gold motifs, complemented by broad red and green borders with intricate gold zari work. A bright pink-red blouse with gold detailing on the sleeves completed her outfit. She accessorised the look with traditional gold jewellery, including a choker necklace, matching earrings and several bangles. White flowers adorning her hair added to the traditional appearance. Speaking to the media about her visit, Kangana described her time in Ayodhya as a privilege. According to ANI, she said, Coming to the holy land of Ayodhya is always a great privilege, which is why you can come here. So today, when we had darshan, naturally, seeing this very sacred and pure land is a great privilege in itself. It felt really good, and the other temples in this huge, beautiful complex are also amazing. Now it feels like we'll have to spend at least a full day here with the family to feel completely satisfied. Kangana Ranaut's Legal Move to Protect Her Personality Rights Kangana's temple visit comes as she pursues legal action concerning the alleged unauthorised use of her identity. The actress and BJP MP recently approached the Delhi High Court, seeking protection against the alleged misuse of her name, image, likeness and other distinctive aspects of her persona. Her plea seeks to prevent the commercial exploitation of her identity without her permission. According to reports, her counsel also raised concerns about fake news and AI-generated content allegedly associated with the actress. The Delhi High Court has issued summons in the suit, which seeks legal protection against the unauthorised use of her identity. The case comes amid increasing attention to personality rights, particularly for actors and other public figures whose identities may be used for commercial purposes without their consent. Personality rights generally cover an individual's name, image, voice, likeness, signature and other recognisable attributes. These protections aim to prevent others from exploiting a person's identity commercially without authorisation.

EXCLUSIVE: Little Thomass director Kaushal Oza reveals why he set the film in the 90s instead of the present day: Kids today will simply Google where babies come from or ask ChatGPT!

At a time when films are becoming increasingly violent and A-rated, writer-director Kaushal Oza attempts to bring innocence back to cinemas with Little Thomas. Starring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal, the film's trailer is sure to bring a smile to viewers' faces while exploring a simple yet heartwarming premise. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kaushal spoke about the idea behind Little Thomas, its casting, the decision to set the film in the 1990s and a lot more. Where do babies come from? we have all asked this question. But how was it to make a film around this idea? Its a semi-autobiographical film. I always wanted a little brother. That feeling actually stayed with me through my teenage years and even into adulthood. It never really went away. When I was little, I saw that some of my friends had a brother or a sister, while I didnt have one. But as one grows up, one finds one's own coping mechanisms and gets used to one's family situation. Yet, I always had this thought that If I had a brother, my life would have been totally different. I wrote a little synopsis about it when I was at FTII (Film and Television Institute of India). I did write other scripts, but I got a calling that this was the film I should make. I also wanted to attempt something a little different from what we are used to seeing. I loved books and stories like those of Ruskin Bond, Malgudi Days, Swami And Friends, etc. I wanted to capture in my films the kind of innocence that these stories had. This story was perfect for that. What made you set the film in Goa? I did a recce before I started writing the script. I wanted locations that had a magical, charming quality. Hence, I considered places like Darjeeling and Goa. I went to Goa first, and the moment I walked through the streets of Fontainhas in Panaji, the world of Little Thomas came completely alive for me. I then started writing the film with Goa as its setting. From the trailer, it looks like a period film Yes. It is set in the 90s, as I wanted to bring out that feeling of innocence. That's difficult to capture in a present-day setting because now, if a child has a question about where babies come from, they'll simply search for it on Google. These days, they'll even ask ChatGPT! But the fun lay in the wrong answers only aspect of the film rather than the children finding out the right answer (laughs). The kids wonder, Itna bada secret kya hai? and then stumble upon all sorts of ideas which we, as adults, know are completely wrong when it comes to getting a little brother. You see the child trying out everything with utmost sincerity, faith and belief. He's sad when something doesn't work and happy when another possibility comes up. All of this was possible only in the 90s. Secondly, to be precise, we have set the film in the mid-90s, when there was a clash between the old and the new. The father (played by Gulshan Devaiah) runs a bakery, which is a family business. The liberalization era had begun, and old businesses like his were facing new challenges. The film touches upon this aspect as well. This is the first time that Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal are working together. Were they your first choices? I have been very lucky with this film and all my other films, as I have always got the actors I wanted. I also place a lot of importance on acting, and I really want the best performances. Hence, I never compromise on actors. I may compromise on anything else, but not on actors. Moreover, their chemistry comes through effortlessly on screen. When I was shooting the film, I knew the performances were good. But when the film came together during the edit, I saw these two talented actors bringing out nuances that made their relationship feel very lived-in. The story begins when they have been married for 10 years. So, they have been through the initial honeymoon phase, and things have settled into a regular rhythm. Little issues begin to creep in, and you sometimes feel that your partner is not paying enough attention to you. All this is reflected in their scenes. Even when they are loving towards each other, you can sense that they have experienced something in the past that has hurt them. And even when they fight, you can see that it's coming from a place of love. There's a funny shot in the trailer involving a monkey. But it seems like the animal has been created using VFX That's because you can't shoot with a monkey in India as per the rules. Hence, we had to create one using VFX. You also turned lyricist with the song Adults Wrong Hai. How did that happen? I didn't want to write it. Aisa samaj lo ki mera kaam chori ho gaya (laughs). I had given a brief for a song to Shailendra Barve and told him, Aisa song hoga. I had written some lyrics, which I thought were stupid, along the lines of Hum tum hai right, adults wrong hai. Those lines got stuck in his head, and Shailendra liked them. But they were just part of my brief for the lyricist, who was supposed to write something nice. However, the next day, when I went to his studio, he had already composed a song around those lines! He sang it for me. He hadn't programmed it yet, but I felt it was coming out really well. I then decided to use a pen name, Iago, as I had never imagined that I'd end up writing lyrics for this film. Then, Ranjan Singh, who's the producer, liked the idea and said, Main kuch likhu kya?. He wrote a few lines, and those words were lovely. Everything in the film got approved on the first attempt, which doesn't usually happen! Why Iago? Are you a fan of Shakespeare's Othello or the bird of the same name in Aladdin? (Laughs) I am a fan of Shakespeare. I like his writing as well as the characters in his plays. Hence, I decided to use Iago. Also Read: EXCLUSIVE: Little Thomas makers Kaushal Oza, Ranjan Singh explain the making of Adults Wrong Hai: Childrens joys and sorrows are unfiltered

Saira Banu recalls dreaming of marrying Dilip Kumar at 12 on their wedding anniversary: I wished to become an integral part of Sahibs life

Veteran actress Saira Banu marked her wedding anniversary with late husband Dilip Kumar on October 11 by revisiting memories of their relationship and reflecting on the power of manifestation. The actress also extended her birthday wishes to Amitabh Bachchan, whose birthday falls on the same day, while recalling the mutual respect and admiration shared by the two legendary actors. Saira Banu shared a series of photographs and videos on social media, including a montage capturing special moments with Dilip Kumar. In her post, she looked back at the circumstances surrounding their wedding and described how her childhood dream of becoming part of the actors life eventually came true. Over the years, perhaps the whole world has come to know the extraordinary and hilarious circumstances under which my wedding with Dilip Sahib took place. Even today, when I look back upon those unexpected and beautiful turns of events, I find myself smiling and laughing at the sheer simplicity of it. Reflecting on manifestation, a concept she said had become widely discussed in recent years, Saira Banu revealed that her journey had begun when she was just 12 years old. She recalled how, despite not knowing the term at the time, she had wished to become an integral part of Dilip Kumars life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saira Banu Khan (@sairabanu) Recalling their wedding day on October 11, 1966, she wrote, Everything about that day was perfect: the occasion, the people who surrounded us, and, above everything else, Dilip Sahib, who was, is, and shall always remain the most beautiful part of my world. She also reflected on how seemingly small dreams can eventually become some of life's most treasured memories. In another part of her post, Saira Banu shared a collage featuring herself, Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. She recalled the respect Dilip Kumar had for his fellow artistes and referred to his book, Dilip Kumar: The Substance and the Shadow, in which he wrote about his admiration for Amitabh Bachchan. The two actors had shared screen space in the film Shakti. According to Saira Banu, Dilip Kumar appreciated Amitabh Bachchans command over dialogue, impeccable diction and ability to listen attentively to his co-actors. She also recalled an incident from the sets of Shakti when Dilip Kumar had asked the crew to maintain silence as Amitabh prepared for an emotionally demanding scene. She described the incident as an example of Dilip Kumars belief that respecting an artiste meant respecting the art itself. Saira Banu then extended her birthday wishes to Amitabh Bachchan, who turned 84 on October 11, 2026. She wished him good health, happiness and continued affection from his admirers. Concluding her note, the actress shared a message for younger generations, urging them not to give up on love too easily. She wrote, Love is not a burden and most certainly not something to be abandoned at the first sign of difficulty. She further added, For in the end, after all your achievements, failures, and lessons, all that is left is love alone. Saira Banu ended the note by reflecting on her own experience, writing that she had lived that life, seen the world, and is still in love. Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar married on October 11, 1966. At the time, Saira was 22 and Dilip Kumar was 44, marking an age difference of 20 years. Their relationship remains a subject of public interest, with Saira Banu continuing to remember her late husband through personal recollections and tributes.
