Kumar Taurani reveals Shobha Kapoor made an EXTRA Rs. 25 crores due to Choli Ke Peeche in Crew; makes a BOLD statement: EVERY film should have recreated songs

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta about remixes and recreated versions of old songs. While many believe that recreations are a worrying trend and that music composers should focus only on original compositions, Kumar Taurani had a different take. He said, More recreations should be made. Every film should have recreated songs. Certain classic songs have a long legacy, have been promoted extensively and enjoy strong recall value. When these songs are presented in a new avatar, they tend to work big time. This happened with the recreated versions of Chunari Chunari (Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai; 2026) and Chamma Chamma (Fraud Saiyaan; 2019). Recently, Aankhon Se Tune 2.0 (Bhai Tera Star Hai; 2026) also worked. Usually, songs would get around 20,000 streams. But after being recreated, their streams suddenly jumped into the millions! This benefits the original versions as well. Ramesh Taurani added, There was a film called Crew (2024). Two of its songs became famous, Naina and Choli Ke Peeche. The signature Ku Ku Ku Ku hook of Choli Ke Peeche was also used extensively in the film's background score. Kumar Taurani revealed, Shobha Kapoor ji herself told me, Kumar ji, because of Choli Ke Peeche, I made Rs. 25 crores more in my pocket. Imagine! Ramesh Taurani continued, Dhurandhar is another huge example. Its a Rs. 1000 crores grosser, and look at how many old songs were recreated, including Tamma Tamma, Hum Pyaar Karne Waale, Na Toh Karvaan Ki Talaash Hai, etc. They were so well woven into the narrative that they enhanced the impact of the scenes. Kumar agreed, Thats because you are already familiar with most of these songs, and hence, you enjoy them even more.

Gurmeet Choudhary to begin Tum Mere Ho promotions in Patna; actor returns to hometown for his first film as producer

Actor Gurmeet Choudhary is set to begin promotions for his upcoming film Tum Mere Ho in Patna, Bihar, marking a return to his hometown ahead of the films theatrical release. The visit holds particular significance for Gurmeet as the project marks his first venture as a producer, adding a new dimension to his career in the entertainment industry. Produced under the banners of Reva Creative House and Deb Guru Films, Tum Mere Ho will see Gurmeet and the team start their promotional campaign from the city where he grew up. The actor-producer is returning to Bihar to seek the love and support of the local audience as he takes on this new responsibility behind the scenes. Speaking about the significance of the visit, Gurmeet Choudhary said, Coming back to my hometown, Patna, with Tum Mere Ho is an incredibly emotional and special moment for me. This is where I grew up dreaming of making it big in Bollywood, and today, to return as a producer with my first film feels like life has truly come full circle. The journey from dreaming about being a part of the film industry to now bringing my own production to the audience is something I will always cherish. Bihar will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am excited to share this moment with my people. I am here seeking their love, blessings and support for Tum Mere Ho, because there is nothing more special than having your own people stand by you as you take this new step. The decision to launch the promotional campaign in Patna gives the films publicity tour a personal connection to Gurmeets journey. While the actor has built his career in the entertainment industry, the visit offers him an opportunity to reconnect with his roots as he prepares to present his first production to audiences. Tum Mere Ho is produced by Aarti S and Debina Bonnerjee, with Ashish Panda directing the film. Romanch Mehta and Aman Riyastee are attached as co-producers. The film features Gurmeet Choudhary alongside Isha Malviya, Anushkaa Luhar and Shaan Grover. With its theatrical release scheduled for October 23, 2026, Tum Mere Ho marks a new professional step for Gurmeet as he combines his role as an actor with that of a producer. The promotional campaign beginning in Patna is expected to bring the film closer to audiences in the region ahead of its arrival in cinemas.

EXCLUSIVE: Munawar Faruqui to launch new stand-up show Beedi in Dubai as Pati Patni Aur Panga 2 returns

Munawar Faruqui is preparing for a busy weekend as he takes his new stand-up show, Beedi, to Dubai for its first live outing, while also returning as the host of the second season of Pati Patni Aur Panga. The two projects will see the comedian connect with audiences across live performance and television. Although Faruqui has performed in Dubai before, the upcoming show marks the first time he will present Beedi to a live audience in the city. The performance will begin the next leg of the show's journey, with the comedian returning to a familiar venue for a new set. At the same time, Pati Patni Aur Panga 2 will bring him back to the small screen, where he will interact with celebrity couples and respond to the conversations and situations that unfold on the show. Speaking about juggling the two commitments, Faruqui said, Its a pretty exciting weekend for me. Ill be in Dubai with Beedi, and while Ive performed there before, this is the first time Im taking this new show to a live audience, so that makes it special. And then Pati Patni Aur Panga is coming back, so I get to be on the other side, meeting these couples and getting involved in all their fun and chaos. The formats are very different, but I enjoy both because, at the end of the day, its about connecting with people and making them laugh. So I guess this weekend, they can choose to watch me on stage or watch me on screen, Faruqui says. The two engagements reflect the different formats Faruqui has taken on in recent years. While stand-up comedy remains a key part of his work, he has also explored acting, hosting and reality television, allowing him to work across live shows and screen-based projects. On the acting front, Faruqui recently made his debut with First Copy. He is also working on Angadia, a project featuring Mahesh Manjrekar. Alongside his acting assignments and television commitments, the comedian continues to perform across cities as part of his comedy world tour. With Beedi beginning its live journey in Dubai and Pati Patni Aur Panga 2 returning to television, Faruqui is set to engage with audiences through two different formats over the same weekend.

Anand Kumar recalls former student Bidur Kant Jhas journey from financial hardship to becoming the Director at the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways

Anand Kumar, founder of the Super 30 educational initiative, recently shared the story of his former student Bidur Kant Jha, who overcame financial difficulties to become the Director in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India. The educator took to social media to reflect on Jhas journey and the bond they have maintained over the past three decades. Recalling their first meeting, Kumar spoke about how Jha had approached him years ago with dreams of pursuing an education but lacked the financial means to do so. The educator said he had encouraged the young student to focus on working hard rather than worrying about money. Sharing the story on social media, Anand Kumar wrote, Today, I received a call from my former student, Bidur Kant Jha, and it brought back memories from 30 years ago. Once, there was a boy standing at my door. He had dreams in his eyes, but no money to pursue his education. I told him, Don't worry about the money, just work hard. Bidur fought against adversity and changed his destiny. Today, he is a Director in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India. What makes me happiest is that despite reaching such great heights, he has not forgotten his old teacher. This is a teacher's true reward! Two photographs, one from 30 years ago and the other from today. Time has changed, but the bond remains the same. Kumar also shared two photographs capturing the passage of time, with one dating back to around 30 years ago and the other showing the two reunited in the present day. His post highlighted not only Jhas professional achievement but also the fact that the former student remains in touch with the teacher who supported him during a difficult phase of his life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anand Kumar (@teacheranandkumar) Through Super 30, based in Patna, Bihar, Kumar has worked to provide free coaching and support to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds preparing for the IIT entrance examinations. His work and personal journey also inspired the Bollywood film Super 30, in which Hrithik Roshan portrayed the educator. Jhas journey adds to the stories of students who have pursued professional success despite financial obstacles. For Kumar, however, the reunion carried a significance beyond career achievements. The former students continued connection with his teacher served as a reminder of the lasting relationship that can develop through education, guidance and encouragement.

Ramesh Taurani reveals UNTOLD behind-the-scenes story of Soldier: Nadeem-Shravan and Javed Akhtar were a WRONG combination; reveals a song featuring Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta was SCRAPPED and replaced with Tera Rang Balle Balle

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta and shared a fascinating anecdote about how the music team of Soldier (1998) underwent a major change. Ramesh Taurani said, In those days, there was a saying that aap kisi bhi bade actor ko sign kar sakte ho lekin Bobby Deol ko sign nahin kar sakte! This was because Bobby was very exclusive and was doing only two films, Gupt (1997) and Barsaat (1995). But we held the music rights to both films. Hence, we convinced Sunny Deol to let Bobby sign Soldier. He liked the script and gave his nod. Ramesh added, We had Bobby for just 10 days for the first schedule. During those 10 days, we had to shoot one song and two scenes. But we didnt have a song in hand. Nadeem (of the Nadeem-Shravan duo) had his mukhdas ready, but Javed Akhtar saab was not willing to work that way. He was clear, Main lyrics writer hoon. Poora lyrics main likhunga. Hence, even if we liked the mukhda suggested by Nadeem, it couldnt be used in the song. Ramesh Taurani continued, At that time, I would record a song only when I was 200% sure of its success. But when we recorded the first song for Soldier, I was only 70% sure. However, since the shoot date was approaching, I went ahead with it, thinking, Aage 5 gaanon mein sambhal lenge. Then, we recorded two more songs, but even those didnt satisfy us. This was because team gadbad ho gayi. Nadeem-Shravan and Javed Akhtar were a wrong combination. Ideally, Sameer should have worked with Nadeem-Shravan. Ramesh then stated, Meanwhile, in 1997, Nadeem had to leave India. So, we replaced Nadeem-Shravan with Anu Malik. We again approached Javed Akhtar and requested him to write five songs, as we had a long 50-day schedule in Australia and New Zealand. However, he was very busy and said that he wouldnt be able to work so quickly. We mutually parted ways and then got Sameer on board. He revealed, By then, we had already shot one song, but it hadnt turned out as intended. Preity Zinta was also new. When we saw the footage, we felt that the song was a mismatch. Hence, we removed that song and replaced it with Tera Rang Balle Balle. Thats how Sameer ultimately ended up writing all the songs of Soldier.

Ramesh Taurani hails Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, takes a DIG at actors scared of flops: Bhale 10 hit chhoot jaaye lekin 1 flop nahin chahiye!; reveals, I always tell Aamir Khan, Aap zyaada picturein karo

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta and urged actors to sign more films. Ramesh Taurani said, In the olden days, we used to promote our films extensively, put up hoardings, publish posters in film magazines, play the songs on TV and radio, etc. Hence, actors used to get excited when signing a film produced by a music company. We used to just share one-line idea of the story and at times, actors agreed to do the film over a phone call and without even physically meeting us. Woh bharosa tha aur luckily, woh bharosa rang laaya kyunki hamari sab picturein chali. Kumar Taurani then said, Now, actors are very panicky, fearing that their film might flop. Actors should continue working, even if they deliver a couple of flops. They should not fear and should do at least 2-3 movies a year. At the same time, they should also be economical with the producers. From what I know, the actors and director of Dhurandhar opted for profit sharing; their upfront fees were not much. Ramesh Taurani added, In the 90s and 2000s, there were not many revenue options. Now, actors can earn through stage shows, ads, endorsements, etc. So, they have a lot of money. Our judiciary follows this principle that bhale 100 gunehgaar chhoot jaaye, lekin ek begunaah ko faansi nahin honi chahiye. Similarly, actors think that bhale 10 hit chhoot jaaye, koi parwah nahin. Lekin 1 flop nahin chahiye! They dont want their brand value to diminish. He continued, In the long term, flops dont matter. Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn deliver 4 films a year and are going strong for so many years. Drishyam The Conclusion is tracking so well. Salman Khan continues to work and has 3 films in 2 years for sure. I always tell Aamir Khan, Bhai aap zyaada picturein karo. Shah Rukh Khans King will release 3 years after his last release. Aise actors ka zyada kaam aana chahiye.

FIR filed against Imran Khan & others after being detained at the August Kranti Maidan protest

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 11 (IANS) Mumbai Police have registered an FIR at the Gamdevi Police Station against actor Imran Khan and others detained in connection with a protest at August Kranti Maidan, Mumbai, in support of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protest in Delhi, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Mumbai Police shared that the FIR has been registered under Sections 223 (disobedience to an order), 126(2) (wrongful restraint), 189(2) (unlawful assembly), 189(3) and 189(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police personnel themselves were the complainants. According to the police, more than 400 people were detained in Mumbai during the demonstration. After being detained on Saturday, Imran uploaded a picture of himself from inside the police van, along with a hilarious caption that went, Apparently Im going for a drive. A video also went viral where Imran was heard saying Jai Hind to the police. In another clip, he spoke about his detention, saying, I honestly don't know why I have been brought here. They picked all of us from the streets and asked us to sit in the vans. Imran further revealed that he and the others were driven around in the police van for approximately two hours before their release. Before entering the van, the 'Delhi Belly' actor also shared that he did not have any specific demands but had come simply as a citizen of Mumbai. Sir, I don't have any demands. I don't have any status to demand anything from people. Nor am I a part of any organization, so I don't speak as a representative, he shared. Imran's girlfriend, Lekha Washington, and cousin, Zayn Marie Khan, were also detained from the August Kranti Maidan along with him. Both Lekha and Zayn also shared constant updates from the police van on their social media handles.
