At the beginning, Ramesh Taurani said, The first film whose music rights we acquired was Gunahon Ka Devta (1990). We paid Rs. 2.25 lakhs for it. We both didnt sleep for 2 nights as we had paid Rs. 25,000 to the makers. Then we wondered, Inko Rs. 2 lakhs chukayenge kaise? (laughs)! We also bought the music rights of Elaan-E-Jung (1989), which, again was an action film. We wanted to prove ourselves. So, we installed 6 hoardings for this film in Mumbai, in places like Bandra, Juhu, etc. Imagine a music company putting up posters, that too of an action film. But it worked as it sparked a discussion among filmmakers. They felt ki Yeh toh acchi music company hai! Ramesh continued, Then, we bagged the rights of Patthar Ke Phool (1991). Bhagyashree took the full credit for Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). 3 months after its release, Salman Khan didnt have any film in its pipeline. Thats when Salim saab asked G P Sippy saab to announce that he was producing Salmans next film. He told Sippy saab, Bhale aap picture mat banao lekin aapke announcement se ek boost milega. Ramesh Taurani revealed, It was in Film Information magazine where I read that G P Sippy has signed Salman Khan. The news got published on Saturday and on Monday, I was in G P Sippy saabs office. I expressed the desire to acquire the music rights. I asked him, Have you signed any music director?. He replied, No. I then asked if he had got a lyricist on board. He told me, We havent done that either. I requested him to get the Maine Pyar Kiya team again music director Raamlaxman, lyricist Dev Kohli, and singers S P Balasubrahmanyam and Lata Mangeshkar! I told him, Yeh combination hi aap lena. Aap bataiye aapka price kya hai?. Ramesh added, G P Sippy saab confessed that he hadnt given much thought to the music and asked me to meet him after 2 days. Meanwhile, he was in touch with Viveck Vaswani, who wished to make an Rs. 80 lakh project called Patthar Ke Phool. Viveck wanted to sign Salman Khan and Ravi Tandons daughter, Raveena Tandon. Sippy saab initially declined, saying that it was a small project while they were used to making big-budget films. But after he met me, he felt, Music ka aadmi aa gaya kheeli ek announcement pe. Toh iss project ko active karte hain (smiles). Ramesh Taurani stated, Hence, he called Viveck Vaswani and the next day, he met Raamlaxman and discussed his fees. He asked for Rs. 12 lakhs. A day later, G P Sippy saab met me and told me, Woh bahut mehenga hai. Rs. 12 lakh maanga. Those days, Anand-Milinds music rights used to be sold for Rs. 2-3 lakhs, while Laxmikant-Pyarelals music rights were sold in the range of Rs. 3-5 lakhs. I was in a spot as I was the one who had suggested Raamlaxmans name! Finally, we negotiated and bought the rights for Rs. 10 lakhs. Ramesh then said, We gave G P Sippy saab the first cheque amounting to Rs. 5 lakhs. From that amount, payments were made to Salman, Raveena and Salim saab, who was also the films writer. Thats how the film went on floors!

[feed_description] => Ishita Dutta recently opened up about filming a physically demanding sequence for Drishyam The Conclusion. In an interaction on Zahrajani dailys podcast, the actress recalled shooting a rain sequence in which she and Shreya had to drag a body across a muddy field before dumping it into a pit. She explained that the scene involved real physical effort, as the team added weight to the bag to make it difficult to pull and create a realistic visual on screen. Speaking about the sequence from Drishyam The Conclusion, Ishita Dutta said, So the scene where we are dragging the body outside, so it's a rain sequence where it's raining and both of us are dragging. So initially when we were pulling na, it was too easy for us to pull, it was empty. So they actually filled it up with, with similar weight ka some samaan in that bori so that, you know, it looks like we are pulling. And it was tough! Because it was raining and there was mud and keechad and me and Shreya are pulling it and it is real! What you see, it is us really pulling something and trying to take it all across the field and dump it in the gaddha that we had created. So that scene was also very difficult. And we did it over four-five days. So, because they knew it was so tough and so draining plus raining, so they didn't want us to fall sick. So every day from 6:00 to 8:00, like two hours we'll finish part of the sequence so that it was easy and yeah. Ishita further explained that the challenging sequence in Drishyam The Conclusion was not completed in a single day. Since the shoot involved rain, mud and physically pulling the weighted bag across the field, the team divided the sequence over four to five days. The actress noted that they would work on the sequence for around two hours each day, from 6 pm to 8 pm, allowing them to complete the shoot without overexertion. Her recollection offers a glimpse into the physical demands involved in filming the sequence for Drishyam The Conclusion.

Composed by Sachin-Jigar and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Emiway Bantai, the track is sung by Emiway and Jigar Saraiya. The song brings Emiways rap style into the films music and marks a new phase in his musical journey. Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan and the ensemble cast of Udta Teer, Choozay combines rap and melody. Emiways vocals and flow form a central part of the track, while Jigar Saraiya lends his voice to the song. The accompanying video features Ayushmann, Emiway and Jigar and reflects the playful tone of the track. Ayushmann Khurrana said, Choozay has an infectious energy that hits you almost instantly. Its one of those songs that brings together so many exciting creative forces, Emiways raw and distinctive rap style, SachinJigars incredible musicality and Amitabh Bhattacharyas brilliant writing. Everyone has brought something unique to the track, and thats what makes it so much fun. Im really excited for people to experience the song and the world weve created around it. I genuinely feel Choozay is going to be one of those tracks that finds its way onto every playlist and stays there. Music composers Sachin-Jigar said, Some sounds just have an energy that you keep wanting to return to, and this is one of them for us. Weve always enjoyed creating music in this space, and our work with Amitabh Bhattacharya has resulted in some memorable collaborations over the years. Choozay gave us the chance to revisit that world while bringing something fresh to it. Emiway coming on board was a fantastic fit, his rap style, attitude and unmistakable flow bring a whole new dimension to the composition. The combination has made the track incredibly exciting, and were genuinely looking forward to seeing how audiences react to it. Emiway Bantai said, Ive been offered several Bollywood projects before, but none felt like the right fit. Finally, with Udta Teer, it clicked for me, it felt fun and exciting to begin with. Stepping into Bollywood with Choozay is a really special moment for me. Ive come a long way with independent music, and being able to bring my sound into the world of cinema feels like a new chapter. Working with SachinJigar, Amitabh sir, and Ayushmann Khurrana has been an incredible experience because everyone brought their own energy and perspective to the song. Ive always wanted to explore new spaces without losing what makes my music mine, and Choozay feels like the perfect beginning to that journey. Udta Teer is presented by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment and produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga and Achin Jain. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, alongside Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Gulshan Grover, Suhail Nayyar, Rahul Bose, Mukul Dev, Ram Kapoor and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

And now, it is also a National Award-winning film. At the 72nd National Film Awards, Srikanth won the Best Hindi Feature Film award. Tushars earlier film, Saand Ki Aankh (2019), like Srikanth, was also inspired by real-life people and incidents. Interestingly, both these films were very different from the feel-good and comic capers that Tushar Hiranandani was earlier associated with, such as Masti (2004), Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (2010), FALTU (2011), Double Dhamaal (2011), Housefull 2 (2012), Main Tera Hero (2014), etc. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Tushar Hiranandani spoke about this aspect and a lot more. Tushar Hiranandani said, Before turning director, I was a writer and have written several films. Some are good, some are bad, some are funny, while some are atrocious! A lot of people tell me, How come you wrote these kinds of films and are now making films like Saand Ki Aankh and Srikanth? Well, firstly, age is a factor. I made my first film when I was 45. You mature and understand the mistakes that you have made. I believe we Indians realize what we really want to do only after we cross 40! Moreover, after I met my wife Nidhi (Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani), my thinking started changing. He revealed, The film Vicky Donor (2012) also had an effect on me. I remember coming back home after watching that film. Nidhi and I were married by then. It was a time when I was writing for all the top directors who were making comedies. But when I came back home, I told her, For some years, the kind of comedy I do spoof, gags and films that are not too heavy on story is finished. Vicky Donor will change a lot of things. People will gravitate towards such cinema. It was also a time when multiplexes were opening up. It was like the Dil Chahta Hai (2001) phenomenon. It may not have done huge business, but it is these cult films that change cinema in India. Vicky Donor was also a pathbreaker, at least in the comedy space. Tushar continued, This was also the time when I looked up to Mohit Suri. I had just seen his film, Murder 2 (2011), and I felt it was crazy. It was not my kind of film, but I just loved it. I walked up to him and said, Bro, I want to write your film. Thats how I bagged Ek Villain (2014). That was the turning point in my life. Tushar further said, During the shoot of Ek Villain, Mohit made sure that I was on the set every day. I was treated like a co-director; thats how he even credited me, besides crediting me as the films writer. That experience gave me the courage to direct. Tushar Hiranandani confessed, I always wanted to become a director, but I had given up on that dream because I was doing quite well as a writer. I also worked at Balaji Motion Pictures (as head of content development). In fact, at the age of 45, I wanted to give up altogether. We didnt have a child then and I wanted to retire! I had dreamt of going to Lonavala and indulging in gardening (smiles). But around this time, I saw the shooting dadi's on Aamir Khan sirs TV show, Satyamev Jayate. I started crying while hearing their story. I decided to make a film on them. I asked Nidhi, Wholl produce it? She replied, Ill produce it. Thats how both of us gave up our jobs and started making the film. The National Award winner signed off by saying, I always liked these kinds of films, but iss industry mein chalti hui gaadi ka bonnet nahin kholte. Until I had no option, I kept writing. When I was making Saand Ki Aankh, a lot of people told me, Are you mad? Why are you making a film on two old ladies? You know actors. You can get them and make a conventional film. But that didnt matter. I feel the script is the star.

The actor recently recalled the experience of shooting the song from Bunty Aur Babli and said he would love to be part of a 2.0 version, although he jokingly noted that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and his father, Amitabh Bachchan, would also need to be convinced. In a conversation with BBC Asian Network, Abhishek was asked whether he would be interested in revisiting Kajra Re with a new version. The actor responded positively, saying, I'm down for that. I'd love it. You have got to convince Aishwarya and my dad, though. Reflecting on the original song, Abhishek recalled the shoot as one of the most enjoyable experiences of his career. He said the atmosphere on the sets was more like a celebration, with the cast and crew having a great time while filming the track. I don't know if I have had more fun shooting a song than shooting Kajra Re. It was just one big happy party. We enjoyed it so much. I still remember we were filming and it was my birthday, and they celebrated, he said. Abhishek also shared an interesting detail about how some of the song's candid moments came together. According to the actor, director Shaad Ali played the track for several hours on the sets, turning the shoot into an impromptu dance session. The footage captured during those moments was later incorporated into the final song. Basically, what Shaad did was just put on the song and for about four hours we just had a dance party. He actually shot a lot of that and inserted those shots of us just having fun, freaking out on set in the song. It's absolutely, I mean, cult status of a song. I love it. I had a blast shooting it. It was just great memories, great fun, he said. Released in 2005, Bunty Aur Babli featured Abhishek as a con artist alongside Rani Mukerji, while Amitabh Bachchan played the police officer pursuing them. Kajra Re featured Abhishek, Aishwarya and Amitabh together and became one of the film's most remembered songs. Composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the song was sung by Alisha Chinai, Shankar Mahadevan and Javed Ali, with choreography by Vaibhavi Merchant.

The actor took to X to acknowledge Machchhars actions, highlighting how the pilot put the safety of those onboard ahead of his own. Shah Rukh wrote on X (formerly Twitter), Captain Smit Machchhar, you stood strong when it mattered the most!! Its not easy to stare adversity in the face and put ones safety on the line but you did just that to protect those onboard and showed us what being a Captain entails. A true display of courage and duty. Wishing you a speedy recovery, the country is proud of you Captain Smit Machchhar, you stood strong when it mattered the most!! Its not easy to stare adversity in the face and put ones safety on the line but you did just that to protect those onboard and showed us what being a Captain entails. A true display of courage and duty. Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) October 3, 2026 Captain Smit Machchhar was operating Flydubai flight FZ1073, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The flight had 174 people onboard, including 27 children. On September 30, while the aircraft was flying over Saudi Arabia, Machchhar was attacked and stabbed by his co-pilot inside the cockpit. Despite sustaining serious injuries, Machchhar managed to open the cockpit door. His actions allowed passengers and crew members to intervene and overpower the attacker. Two other pilots who were travelling on the flight subsequently helped take control of the aircraft. The flight was diverted to Tabuk airport in Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely. Machchhar was taken to a hospital for treatment following the incident. From his hospital bed, Machchhar later spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and recounted the events. During the conversation, he explained how he opened the cockpit door despite his injuries, enabling others to intervene and stop the attacker. His actions helped prevent further danger to the passengers and crew onboard the flight.

[feed_description] => Lyricist Mehboob has carved a distinct niche for himself, having penned some of the finest songs of the 1990s and 2000s for films such as Rangeela (1995), Bombay (1995), Daud (1997), Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), Thakshak (1999) and Yuva (2004), among others. In the mid-2000s, he suffered from multiple slipped discs, due to which lyric writing took a backseat. He made a comeback with Heropanti 2 (2022) and, more recently, penned Adnan Samis much-loved single, Ishq Tamasha. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mehboob went down memory lane and spoke about Vande Mataram and Humma Humma. Independence Day and patriotic celebrations are incomplete without A R Rahmans Vande Mataram, also known as Maa Tujhe Salaam. Rahman often ends his concerts with the song, giving goosebumps to those in attendance. When asked about his thought process while writing the iconic track and whether he felt nervous, Mehboob said, There was definitely a sense of responsibility because you werent writing just another film song. You were trying to put into words an emotion that millions of people have towards their country. The challenge was to make it powerful without making it complicated. Patriotism is a very personal emotion. I wanted the words to feel direct something that could be understood and felt immediately. As we were targeting young people, I came up with this simple phrase, Maa Tujhe Salaam. And as I said, a sense of responsibility was there, but not nervousness. At that time, of course, you dont know what a song is eventually going to become. You write as sincerely as you can. To see all these years later that Rahman performs it around the world and thousands of people sing those words with him is an extraordinary feeling. As a writer, what more could you ask for? Before Vande Mataram, Mehboob worked with A R Rahman on Bombay, which featured the hugely popular song Humma Humma. The track was later recreated for OK Jaanu (2017), and we asked Mehboob about his views on remixes. Mehboob confessed, To be honest, I am not very happy with the idea of remixes. We have great creative minds in our music industry, so why not try to make something different and new? The song which has happened has happened. It is done. Lets move ahead and create something new.
