Sameer reveals he OFFENDED Mithun Chakraborty while working as a journalist: I asked him about his alleged affair with Ranjeeta; he retorted, Maine suna hi ki tumhara Sridevi se affair chal raha hain

Lyricist Sameer had a conversation with Komal Nahta where he revealed about his struggles before getting a break. He revealed that he had worked as a journalist, when he ended up offending Mithun Chakrabory. Sameer said, I was born and brought up in Varanasi. When I came to Mumbai, I hired a room in a chawl in Malvani, Mumbai for a rent of Rs. 15. I had to make ends meet. I had done M.Com in Economics and Commerce. So, I started taking tuitions. Also, I had done a bit of journalism in Varanasi. I approached The Times of India. Those days, they used to publish a magazine called Madhuri. Vinod Tiwari was the editor. I met him and revealed that I am the son of Anjaan and that I have been struggling. He was a very good friends with Daddy. I asked him if I could write articles for the magazine. He replied, Madhuri gets published every fortnight. I promise that every 15 days, Ill publish your interview. For each article, Ill pay you Rs. 500. Mujhe toh laga ki Rs. 5 crores mil raha hai (laughs). Sameer continued, The first interview I did was of Shakti Kapoor. Then, I interviewed Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Mithun Chakraborty, etc. I asked a controversial question to Mithun. Those days, he was (allegedly) having an affair with Ranjeeta. I asked him about it. He got very angry. Unka dimaag kuch bahut kharab tha uss din. He retorted, Kuch bhi sawaal karte ho. I said, I have heard (that you are dating Ranjeeta) (laughs)! He replied, Tum log suni-sunayi baaton pe humse kyun sawaal karte ho?. He then said, Maine bhi suna hi ki tumhara Sridevi se affair chal raha hain! Sameer then stated, I clarified and he nicely told me, Dekho, beta, you are young. Ask only those questions that you know about. Rumours are very common in our industry.

EXCLUSIVE: Shashwat Sachdev teases grand live music IP featuring Uri, Dhurandhar and The Ba***ds Of Bollywood scores, to be reimagined 1st time as musical

Shashwat Sachdev is reportedly working on a new global live music IP that will mark his first venture into the live entertainment space. The composer and producer is said to be developing a large-scale musical experience that will bring together his work from Indian cinema in a live format. According to sources, the project will feature reimagined versions of film scores from Phillauri, Uri: The Surgical Strike, The Ba***Ds Of Bollywood and Dhurandhar. The music is expected to be presented as a theatrical musical, combining live performances with visual elements. The project is reportedly scheduled to premiere at an international venue before making its way to India. The Jaipur-born composer is also set to perform in China later this year at the Wuxi Arts Music Festival, where he will reportedly present a special set. A production insider close to the project said, This isn't just a concert; it is a complete re-engineering of how live Indian music is presented on the world stage. He will be bringing together a massive ensemble of over 100 musicians, orchestra players, and a powerhouse choir to build these wall-of-sound arrangements entirely live. He is building a first-of-its-kind hybrid environment that fuses the intense, emotional storytelling of a theatrical musical with the massive, kinetic visual adrenaline of an international EDM festival. It is going to be a complete sensory overload. The development comes as Sachdev continues to work on several high-profile projects. His empanelment for Mohanlals Operation Ganga was recently announced. He has also been associated with the Dhurandhar duology, directed by Aditya Dhar. According to the information provided, the Dhurandhar soundtrack generated 325 crore ($39 million USD) in streaming ecosystem value. The film was also reported to become the first Indian film to have its entire album chart simultaneously on Spotifys Global Top 200. The album reportedly reached No. 1 on Billboard India and No. 2 on Spotifys Top Global Debut chart. Within six months, the franchise was said to have recorded 93 billion views on YouTube and more than 1.3 billion streams on Spotify, placing Sachdev among the top five artists in India on Spotify. Sachdev has also received recognition for his work in film music. He recently won his second National Film Award for his score in Article 370, following his earlier win for Uri: The Surgical Strike. He has also co-composed music with Hans Zimmer and James Everingham for the British drama series Virdee and received an international honour at the ASCAP Screen Awards. Representatives for Sachdev have not commented on the reported live music project so far. If confirmed, the IP would mark a new live presentation of his cinematic compositions, combining orchestral and electronic elements for audiences in international and Indian markets.

Lyricist Sameer SLAMS use of old songs in Dhurandhar, Chauhaan: Music ko background mein daal diya SATYANAASH kar diya

Lyricist Sameer had a conversation with Komal Nahta where he criticized the current state of music in Bollywood. He said, Jo acchi cheez hoti hai, wahi lambi samay tak chalti hai. So even 100 years later, the old songs will continue to find an audience. A producer told me that he has only hired young kids in his office. I replied, Acchi baat hai. Kab se rakha hai aapne?. They replied, Since 5-6 years. I told them, There was a time when your company used to come up with 10 super-hit albums every year. But that hasnt happened in the last 5-6 years. Who have you hired then?. Sameer clarified, I am not saying that the young kids are not talented. But when the old and new can merge together, it can be beneficial. I worked with Sachin-Jigar in FALTU (2011) and wrote songs like Aaltu Jalaltu and Chaar Baje Gaye Lekin Party Abhi Baaki Hai. I proved with these songs that I could collaborate with young kids and come up with such youthful numbers. If you wont give an opportunity to Anand-Milind or Anu Malik, how will they prove that they still have it in them? But the makers want to instead work with just the new people. Has that helped? Sameer thundered, No wonder Arijit Singh pagal ho gaya aur industry chod diya. Things became monotonous for him; the sound of most songs is the same. He wasnt getting variety. Udit Narayan and other songs in those days were offered variety of songs. He added, This is the reason why there has been a deterioration of music. Upar se Dhurandhar ne aur satyanaash kiya. Unhone music ko utha ke background mein daal diya. Look at the teaser of Chauhaan. Jumma Chumma plays in the background while all the action happens on screen. They recreated my song Hum Pyaar Karne Waale, Duniya Se Na Darr Ne Waale in Dhurandhar The Revenge. But on the screen, goliyan chal rahi hain. Gaana kahaan hai bhai? Now its not my fathers industry that I can stop such practices. Yeh tab tak galat hoga jab tak galat hoke sab kuch khatam nahin ho jaayega. He further said, Nadeem (Music director Nadeem Saifi) told me, Pandit ji, dont worry. Aap chup chaap baitho. Yeh (practice) jab tak aakhri saans na le le, tab tak inko saans le lene do. Fir hum aayenge. Sameer also remarked, Top banners run by Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala etc. used to patronize good songs. Inko kya ho gaya?

We were thinking like Salgaonkar while writing: Director Abhishek Pathak on crafting Drishyam The Conclusions unpredictable twists

Delivering a thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats is a challenge; outsmarting a fanbase that has spent years studying every detail of a beloved franchise is almost impossible. Yet, as anticipation reaches its peak for Drishyam The Conclusion, director Abhishek Pathak believes he and his writing team have pulled off the ultimate cinematic sleight of hand. The Drishyam series has built its reputation on the razor-sharp intellect of its central character, Vijay Salgaonkar - a simple family man whose ability to stay steps ahead of the law has captivated millions. For the third chapter, Pathak knew that standard suspense mechanics wouldnt cut it. To truly shock the audience, the creative team had to immerse themselves completely inside the calculated mind of Vijay Salgaonkar himself. Reflecting on the gruelling, mind-bending writing process, Pathak shared a pivotal moment from the films development. He said, When we were writing, we were thinking like Salgaonkar. Even when I was narrating the script to Ajay Devgn, there came a point when we brought it to a halt and I kept asking people, Now, what do you think is going to happen? No one could really guess it, and that was a victory in itself. By turning the script room and even early narrations with leading man Ajay Devgn, into an interactive litmus test, Pathak ensured that every potential fan theory was systematically dismantled. With early listeners left stumped by the film's trajectory, Pathak enters the release confident that Drishyam The Conclusion will give thriller enthusiasts the ultimate test of wits. The film releases on October 2, 2026. Also Read: Abhishek Pathak opens up on 12-year Drishyam journey: Filmmaking is intense, and my wife kept me sane

From Outsiders to Rs 100 Crores Stars: Ali Fazal, Kartik Aaryan, Rajkummar Rao and others who built their own path

Bollywood has often been associated with established film families and industry connections, but several actors have built successful careers without the advantage of a film lineage. Their journeys have been shaped by varied roles, consistent performances and projects that connected with audiences. From Ali Fazal's Guddu Bhaiya becoming a widely recognised character to Rajkummar Rao finding major commercial success with Stree, these actors have gradually established their positions in Hindi cinema. Ali Fazal Ali Fazal has followed a diverse career path, moving across independent films, mainstream Bollywood, international projects and streaming platforms. Over the years, he has taken on a range of roles and built a career that spans different formats and genres. One of his most recognised characters came with Guddu Pandit in Mirzapur. The role turned into an important part of his career and developed a strong following among viewers. Guddu Bhaiya became a widely discussed pop-culture character, with his hairstyle, fashion and dialogues being referenced by fans. The character's popularity eventually extended beyond the streaming series. That popularity reached the big screen with Mirzapur The Movie. The film crossed the 100 crore mark in India during its opening run, marking a significant theatrical milestone for the franchise. Its performance also demonstrated how the popularity of a streaming character could translate into box-office interest. For Ali Fazal, the success has further strengthened the connection between his portrayal of Guddu Bhaiya and the audience. Kartik Aaryan Kartik Aaryan's career has developed without the backing of a film family. He gradually built recognition through projects that connected with younger audiences and established a relatable screen presence. A major turning point came with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. By stepping into the franchise, Kartik took on the responsibility of leading a commercial entertainer and emerged as a strong box-office performer. The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 significantly changed the scale of his career. It established him as a leading actor capable of carrying a major theatrical franchise. The Bhool Bhulaiyaa films also gave Kartik a recognisable franchise identity, allowing audiences to associate him with a character and series they were willing to return to theatres for. Following this success, he continued to take on bigger projects and strengthened his position in the commercial space. Rajkummar Rao Rajkummar Rao spent years building his reputation through performance-oriented roles before experiencing a major shift in his commercial journey. That change came with Stree. The horror-comedy became a major box-office success, with the first instalment crossing the Rs 100 crores mark in India. Its performance showed how a combination of content, memorable characters and positive word of mouth could translate into theatrical success. The franchise grew further with its subsequent instalment, giving Rajkummar a stronger presence in mainstream cinema. His journey stands out because his commercial success has remained closely connected to his acting abilities. Rather than moving away from performance-driven stories, Rajkummar has continued to work across different kinds of projects. The Stree franchise expanded his reach and established him as an actor capable of leading commercially successful films while retaining a focus on performance. Ayushmann Khurrana Ayushmann Khurrana established a distinct position in Bollywood by taking on stories and characters that were often considered unconventional for mainstream Hindi cinema. Dream Girl became an important commercial success in his career. The film crossed the Rs 100 crores mark and demonstrated that his style of storytelling could attract audiences to theatres. In the same year, Bala also crossed the Rs 100 crores mark, giving Ayushmann another major commercial success. Together, the films strengthened his position as an actor associated with content-driven entertainers. His success has been different from that of a conventional commercial star. Ayushmann built his leading-man image around unusual subjects, imperfect characters and stories that addressed themes outside traditional mainstream formulas. His career has therefore shown that unconventional concepts can also support commercially successful leading actors. Pankaj Tripathi Pankaj Tripathi's rise in Hindi cinema has been gradual. He spent years appearing in supporting and smaller roles before becoming one of the industry's most recognisable character actors. His performances across films and streaming projects steadily increased his visibility, with audiences developing familiarity with his screen presence. OMG 2 became an important commercial milestone in this journey. The film collected over Rs 150 crores net in India and crossed Rs 220 crores worldwide, emerging as a major theatrical success. The performance added another dimension to Pankaj's career, demonstrating that audiences were willing to watch him not only in supporting roles but also in prominent parts of commercially successful films. From Kaleen Bhaiya in Mirzapur to his role in OMG 2, Pankaj has built a career that reflects the changing definition of a Bollywood star, where character actors can also develop a strong audience following. Abhay Verma Among the newer generation of actors, Abhay Verma's success with Munjya became an important turning point. The film did not rely on an established superstar to drive its box-office performance. Instead, its momentum grew through audience interest and word of mouth. Munjya crossed the Rs 100 crores mark in India, eventually collecting over Rs 107 crores net domestically and around Rs 132 crores worldwide. The film introduced Abhay to a much wider theatrical audience and gave his career a significant boost. For a relatively new actor, the success provided the kind of visibility that can change the course of a career. Munjya also demonstrated that audiences can respond to fresh faces when the story and character connect with them. For newcomers, the film's performance highlighted the potential of a strong project to create a wider audience base without relying entirely on established star power.
