After working in Broken But Beautiful, Bambai Meri Jaan, Kajol-starrer Maa (2025), etc., Jitin Gulati will next be seen in two pan-India projects Mahakali, co-starring Akshaye Khanna, and Prabhas-starrer Fauzi. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, the talented actor spoke about his experience of working on Mahakali. The teaser of Mahakali has received unanimously positive feedback. Your thoughts? Its very reassuring to see that something that youve been working on for so long has been appreciated. But it also comes with its own set of responsibilities. Now, I think the expectations are sky-high. The responsibility is also more because, firstly, we are talking about a Goddess. Secondly, people are also very kicked about the way it has been presented. Hence, theres a lot of joy right now along with a lot of responsibility. How did you bag the film? I got my first film in Telugu, Fauzi, before Mahakali. I was shooting for that when I signed Mahakali. After watching Hanuman in 2024, I was literally chasing Prasanth Varma. I found his contact and sent him my showreel, as I wanted to be a part of his world. I also knew he was in the middle of creating the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe and had announced a few films. It so happened that a friend of mine was working on his team for sometime. I sent my showreel to my friend, who forwarded it to Prasanth sir. At the same time, the two people who were attached to Fauzi were also working on Mahakali. They had seen my work on the set and the rushes of Fauzi. When they learned about a particular part in Mahakali, they recommended my name. This is when Prasanth sir realized that he had my showreel already. He then arranged my meeting with the director, Puja Aparna Kolluru. As soon as she started talking about the character and her influences, I figured out that Mahakali would be a film that would provide a never-before experience. I am not just saying for the sake of saying it. When we met, we spoke about films of Guillermo del Toro. Shes a huge fan of his films like Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and so am I. I also realized that theres a lot of research, understanding and rootedness attached to it. The next day, I got a call that I was on. The role required a lot of physical transformation. They gave me time so that I could prep for it. In the meantime, we did a lot of workshops and dialect training. Prasanth Varma directed Hanuman, while Mahakali is helmed by Puja Aparna Kolluru. Meanwhile, Prasanth Varma is also a part of Mahakali. What was the coordination like between the two? I have seen this on Mahakali as well as Fauzi the directors word is final on a project. Its especially sacrosanct in Telugu cinema. While Prasanth sir is like the backbone of the film and oversees everything, ultimately, Puja has the final say. The film has been conceptualized and written by Prasanth sir, so the larger vision comes from him. But what happens on set, how a scene is performed and whether the emotions are coming through correctly all of that is Pujas domain. The entire team is also there to support the directors vision. Hence, theres a very seamless equation between Prasanth sir and Puja. Both of them were completely on the same page, whether it was something related to technology or the emotions of a scene. Mahakali features Akshaye Khanna, whos on cloud nine right now, and rightly so. Do you recall your first meeting with him? I do (smiles). I had always heard that hes very reserved. But contrary to the perception, that particular day, he was very chatty (laughs). We spoke a lot. Dhurandhar (2025) had not been released then; only the teaser had dropped. Because the setup used to take a lot of time, he used to ask me what I felt about the teaser and the film. He was particularly chatty that day. Otherwise, I know that hes very reserved. He prefers to be focused and doesnt like to be distracted a lot. It was the first day of the shoot when I properly met him. Since the make-up and prosthetics are so extensive for both of us, we never really got a chance to sit with each other without make-up, even during lunch. We would usually meet each other during final rehearsals or during the shoot. So, I met him straight away on the first day. Of course, we had our costume trials and look tests here in Mumbai. That day, we just said Hi, hello. However, the first day is when we particularly spoke a lot!

Bigg Boss 20: Aasif Khan calls game unfair after nomination, questions makers decision
Aasif Khan has questioned the makers of Bigg Boss 20 after being nominated for allegedly breaking a house rule. The contestant expressed his displeasure over the decision in the latest episode, calling the game unfair and questioning why some contestants were seemingly treated differently. Aasif's comments came during a conversation with fellow contestants Yung DSA, Rohed Khan and ScoutOp, who were also involved in breaking the rule. While discussing the nomination decision, Aasif made it clear that he was unhappy with the way the situation was handled. Aasif Khan questions the nomination decision During the conversation, Aasif said, Mereko game hi unfair lagne laga hai. He then questioned whether the makers were favouring certain contestants. Referring to some of the other housemates, he asked, Unko kya jeetane ke liye laye ho kya? Aasif also argued that the nomination process would have been fair if all four contestants who had discussed the nominations had faced the same consequence. However, Yung DSA was exempted from the nomination as he was the captain of the house. The disagreement over the rule and subsequent nomination has now become one of the talking points from the latest episode. Will Salman Khan address Aasifs comments? Aasif's remarks have also triggered reactions among viewers, with some speculating that his comments about the makers could come up during the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode hosted by Salman Khan. The Weekend Ka Vaar episodes typically see Salman addressing major developments and controversies from the house during the week. Whether Aasif's comments will be discussed in the upcoming episode remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 20 continues to air daily at 9 pm on Jio Hotstar and at 10:30 pm on Colors TV.

While his professional commitments have taken him away from Mumbai during the festive occasion, Kartik admits to missing the celebrations back home and finding his own way to stay connected with the festival. Sharing a picture of himself with a Ganesh idol, the actor expressed his emotions in a heartfelt caption, writing, Miles away from home, but never away from Bappa! Ganpati Bappa Morya! His message reflects the emotional side of celebrating a festival away from family, friends and the familiar surroundings of Mumbai, while also highlighting his devotion to Lord Ganesha. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KARTIK AARYAN (@kartikaaryan) Despite being in the UK, Kartik made sure that Ganesh Chaturthi did not pass without a festive touch. The actor gave fans a glimpse of his celebrations by sharing pictures featuring traditional modaks, a popular sweet associated with Lord Ganesha, along with Chhole Bhature. The food brought a familiar Indian flavour to the occasion and seemingly helped Kartik recreate a little bit of the festive atmosphere from back home. Kartik has been balancing his professional commitments with the celebrations as he continues work on Captain India. While the actor is spending the festival away from Mumbai, his social media posts show that he has kept Bappa close to him.

On September 15, Kher took to Instagram to share a picture from his meeting with Russell. The actor revealed that they spent time together over lunch and discussed several subjects, including spirituality, life and cinema. He also mentioned Russell's upcoming film Madden. Anupam Kher recalls meeting David O. Russell Sharing his note addressed to the filmmaker, Kher wrote, Dearest David O. Russell, It was so wonderful meeting you in Los Angeles. Thank you for the delicious lunch, for our beautiful conversations about Shiva, life, cinema and your latest film #Madden, and for welcoming me into your home. What a beautiful house!!

Rakul Preet Singh has chosen characters that allow her to step outside the conventional mould, embracing roles that challenge her as an actor and offer something new to audiences. From playing a condom tester in Chhatriwali, playing Ayesha in De De Pyaar De franchise to portraying a medical professional navigating gender biases in Doctor G, the actor has built a diverse body of work across genres. Her latest choice, however, takes her into the world of Indian mythology as she portrays Shurpanakha in Nitesh Tiwaris much-awaited Ramayana. As her recent conversation with Brides Today magazine turned towards her favourite role, Rakul treated the question almost like a trick question. I cant pick one! she attempted to evade. Its been a long journey. Every film is special and teaches you something. Having spent nearly two decades in cinema, Rakul has never limited herself to one particular genre or character type. Her willingness to experiment is once again evident with her decision to take on the role of Shurpanakha, a character whose story is often remembered through a single pivotal incident in the epic. Theres not much we know about her, even though she triggered the incidents that finally led to the war, she shared. There was just so much to explore with this role. For Rakul, the appeal lies in the opportunity to explore a character beyond her familiar perception and discover the layers that make her story compelling. Her choice of Shurpanakha also falls in line with the actors inclination towards characters that challenge expectations and allow her to explore unfamiliar territory. With Ramayana, Rakul once again finds herself taking on a character vastly different from her previous roles, adding yet another unconventional chapter to her journey as an actor.

The ongoing drama in the Bigg Boss 20 house has intensified, with Mahhi Vij and Aamrapali Dubey clashing over kitchen duties. What started as a disagreement over kitchen duties soon turned into a personal exchange, with both contestants making sharp remarks about each other. The kitchen has often emerged as one of the most conflict-prone areas inside the Bigg Boss house, and the latest episode appears to be no different. As the eighth day began, conversations among the housemates about Uditi losing one of her lives in the elimination process were followed by discussions about relationships and tensions within the house. Aamrapali Dubey questions Mahhi Vij Before their confrontation, Aamrapali spoke to Love about her differences with Mahhi. She accused Mahhi of relying on her seniority instead of directly addressing issues. I have realised how Mahi doesn't have guts to clarify things. She can only use her seniority card to get the work done, but she is scared of getting called out. Apni bezzati karwane se darr ti hai. If things don't go as her wish, then she ends up gossiping and badmouthing about others. She doesn't have the guts only, Aamrapali said. Meanwhile, Mahhi was seen discussing Aamrapali and Love's friendship with Yung DSA. She questioned how close the two were and also spoke about the women being friends with Aasif. Yung, however, interrupted her and clarified that his friendships with them were not new. They have been my friends since day one and our bond is still same. Maybe you are seeing it now that is why you feel its new, but that isn't true, he told Mahhi. Mahhi and Aamrapali clash in the kitchen The disagreement between the two contestants escalated when Mahhi and Aamrapali came face-to-face in the kitchen. Aamrapali expressed her frustration about people entering the kitchen and allegedly disturbing those who were preparing food. Mahhi attempted to clarify her side, but the conversation quickly became heated. Aamrapali then told her to stay away from the kitchen while they were cooking. Mahhi walked away from the argument, saying, You don't exist to me. Aamrapali responded with a comment about Mahhi's cooking, saying, When she cooks, 16 people barely get food to eat. The argument continued even after Mahhi left the kitchen and went to the lawn, where some of her friends approached her to find out what had happened. Speaking about Aamrapali, Mahhi said, Iske muh lagungi, amma ki tarah baith gayi, kabhi idhar, kabhi udhar. Mahhi Vij breaks down after the argument Mahhi later became emotional while discussing the confrontation. She admitted that she does not know how to cook and said that she has a cook at home who handles the work for her. I don't know how to cook food, I have a cook at home who does all this for us. I'll cry for her? My foot, 2 min mein khatam kar dungi inko, Mahhi said. Aamrapali continued to express her frustration over Mahhi's presence in the kitchen and said, Ask her not to come in the kitchen to spread her negativity on our food. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) The latest confrontation has added another layer to the growing tensions inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. With both Mahhi and Aamrapali standing their ground, it remains to be seen how the other contestants respond to their growing feud and whether the disagreement spills over into the rest of the house.
