The actor revealed that transitioning from Raja Awasthi, a wholesome family man, to Ravan, a character defined by pride, greed and tyranny, was one of the most challenging experiences of his career. Directed by M. Balaji and produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma, in association with Amazon MGM Studios, Nayyi Navelli features an ensemble cast led by Yami Gautam, alongside Adinath Kothare, Anurag Thakurrr, Sunita Rajwar, Suneel Shine, Susmita Mukherjee and Mita Vasisht. Blending fantasy and comedy, the film continues its theatrical run into its third week. Taking to social media, Adinath shared a video documenting the transformation process, revealing that he underwent a four-hour daily routine for 20 days during the film's 50-day shooting schedule. The process involved considerable physical effort and the work of several departments to bring the two characters to life. Sharing the video, the actor wrote, A glimpse into my 4-hour daily transformation routine for 20 out of our 50-day shoot schedule! Going from Raja Awasthi to Ravan has been the most challenging, painful, yet deeply rewarding experience of my career. It is incredibly rare for an actor to play two completely opposite ends of the spectrum in a single film: Raja, the ultimate green-flag family man, and Ravan, the epitome of pride, greed, and tyranny! This insane transformation truly took a village. A huge shoutout to the incredible teams who made it happen. A tight hug and endless gratitude to my amazing co-actors for their constant support and motivation: @yamigautam @anurag.thakurrr @sunita_rajwar @suneelshine @susmita_mukherjeeofficial @mitavasisht @kullubaaazi @pratiekpachori and the entire Awasthi family! I am in absolute awe of our captain, @directormbalaji for making this wild circus of fantasy and comedy come alive so beautifully! Endless gratitude to my visionary producers @aanandlrai & #himanshusharma, and the magician casting director, @castingchhabra for believing I could pull this off. Thank you for the overwhelming love, everyone! Nayyi Navelli is now successfully running in its 3rd week at the Box Office! The transformation required Adinath to portray two characters with contrasting appearances and personalities. While Raja Awasthi represents a caring family man, Ravan embodies pride, greed and tyranny. The shift called for physical preparation, prosthetic work and coordination between the makeup, costume and other production teams. In his post, the actor acknowledged the contribution of the crew, his co-stars, director M. Balaji, producers Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma, and casting director Mukesh Chhabra. His note highlighted the collaborative effort behind the transformation and the support he received throughout the process. As Nayyi Navelli continues its theatrical run, Adinath's behind-the-scenes video offers a closer look at the preparation involved in bringing his two contrasting characters to the screen.

Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Rampal, the sci-fi film combined superhero storytelling with visual effects and action sequences that were ambitious for Indian cinema at the time. The film set box office opening records upon its release and went on to earn over Rs 200 crores worldwide. It also received recognition for its technical work, winning honours at major award ceremonies, including the National Film Awards and the Filmfare Awards. Fifteen years later, Ra.One continues to be discussed for its scale and technological ambition. While the film attempted to bring a high-tech superhero universe to Indian screens at a time when the genre was still developing, its approach to visual effects and computer-generated imagery has remained an important part of conversations around Indian sci-fi cinema. To mark the film's 15th anniversary, director Anubhav Sinha and Benaras Mediaworks took to social media to look back at the journey of creating the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer. Reflecting on the challenges and ambition behind the project, Sinha wrote, 2011 wasn't ready for it. Somewhere between magic and madness, we made the future. Released at a time when large-scale visual effects-driven superhero films were still relatively uncommon in India, Ra.One sought to explore a different kind of cinematic storytelling. From its futuristic costumes and CGI-heavy sequences to its action set-pieces, the film represented an attempt to expand the technical possibilities of mainstream Hindi cinema. The project required the team to work on a scale that was still emerging within the Indian film industry. Its ambitions extended beyond a conventional superhero narrative, with an emphasis on creating a distinct visual world for audiences. Over the years, Ra.One has continued to attract attention for its technical experimentation and its attempt to bring a science-fiction spectacle to Indian audiences. As the film completes 15 years, Sinha's reflection revisits the ambition behind a project that sought to push the boundaries of visual effects and superhero storytelling in Indian cinema.

The composer and singer shared these insights during his appearance on Komal Nahtas podcast Game Changers: The Music Series. The latest season of the podcast features singers, composers and music personalities discussing their creative journeys, inspirations and experiences in the industry. Hosted by trade analyst Komal Nahta, the series explores the stories behind the music and the people who have contributed to Indian cinema. During the conversation, Himesh reflected on his early exposure to the film industry through his father, Vipin Reshammiya, who introduced him to the workings of the music business. He spoke about how his father's professional relationships and experience helped him gain access to opportunities that are not always available to musicians. He said, I wanted to work on my own terms. That was clear! My father was the first person to introduce electronic instruments in India. He did well and went on to become a producer. Whatever I am today is because of him. He gave me access that most musicians dont have, but producers do. During my childhood, all the top people from the industry used to come to my house. He signed a film with Salman, was in talks with Aamir, and did a film with Mithun. I wanted to use the access I got through him to get the 300400 songs I had made to be a part of films. I had 300400 songs before joining the industry, and now I have 10,000. I have my own music label, so I dont have to go out searching for music. Himesh also spoke about the volume of music he has composed over the years. From having 300400 compositions before entering the industry to building a catalogue of around 10,000 songs, he highlighted how his approach to music has evolved throughout his career. He also pointed to owning a music label as a way to release his work without depending entirely on external opportunities. With Game Changers: The Music Series, Komal Nahta continues to bring conversations with music industry figures to audiences. The latest episode featuring Himesh Reshammiya is available on the podcasts YouTube channel.

As she continues to explore different roles on screen, the actress is also developing her presence in the fashion space. Her latest appearance sees her opt for an all-black ensemble that combines a structured silhouette with understated detailing. For her latest look, Vedika chose a black outfit featuring a plunging neckline, a cinched waist and voluminous sleeves. The tailored fit adds structure to the ensemble, while the flowing silhouette lends movement to the overall look. Keeping the colour palette monochromatic, the actress relied on the outfit's design and accessories to create a statement. A layered statement necklace added detail to the neckline, complementing the otherwise understated ensemble. Vedika kept her beauty look minimal, opting for softly styled hair, defined eyes and subtle makeup. She completed the outfit with pointed black heels featuring gold detailing, bringing together elements of contemporary power dressing and eveningwear. The look highlights how a monochromatic outfit can stand out through its silhouette, accessories and carefully chosen details. Rather than relying on extensive embellishments, the styling keeps the focus on the outfit's structure and the contrast created by the jewellery and footwear. With Musafir Cafe bringing her further audience attention, Vedika continues to build her screen presence while developing an individual style identity. Her fashion choices reflect a preference for contemporary silhouettes and restrained styling, allowing the details to shape the overall look. Her latest appearance is another example of her approach to fashion, where a classic colour palette and thoughtful accessories come together to create an outfit that makes a statement without being overly elaborate.

In an Instagram story, ScoutOPs girlfriend acknowledged that some of her words were insensitive and said she could have expressed her concerns differently. The controversy began when Kaashvi appeared on the episode hosted by Rohit Shetty and confronted ScoutOP, whose real name is Tanmay Singh, over his physical closeness with Love inside the house. During the interaction, she sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay?, referring to instances in which he had massaged Loves feet, hands and neck. Kaashvi also accused Love of having trapped Scout, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. She expressed discomfort with their bond and said it had made people, including members of her family, uncomfortable. Her comments subsequently drew criticism from viewers who felt Love was being held responsible for Scouts actions. Kaashvi Hiranandani says she could have expressed herself better Addressing the criticism, Kaashvi clarified that her intention had been to question Scout about his behaviour rather than pass judgement on Love. She acknowledged that some of her remarks crossed a line. My intention was to address Scout, call out the mistakes I felt he had made, and hold him accountable for his actions. However, in doing so, I realise that some of the words I used were insensitive towards other people involved. Regardless of what I was feeling at the time, it is not my place to pass judgements on someone elses intentions or character, and I could have expressed myself better, she wrote. She further stated that she had never intended to encourage hostility towards Love. I never intended to direct hate towards another woman or encourage anyone to target her. I understand that my words carry weight, and I take responsibility for how they may have come across, the story read. I should have known better Kaashvi also referred to the online commentary surrounding Love, saying that content questioning the latters intentions had affected her emotions during the confrontation. Watching all the She knows what she's doing, Its her strategy content clouded my emotions but I should have known better, she wrote. Concluding her statement, Kaashvi acknowledged that it was not her place to question Loves intentions and apologised to those who had been hurt by her comments. Its not my place to tell her anything, I recognise that and truly apologise to everyone Ive hurt, she added. Kaashvis apology comes after Love Gills team issued a statement defending her and questioning why she was being blamed for Scouts feelings. The team maintained that Love had always considered Scout a brother and argued that she was facing a toxic double standard by being held responsible for a mans choices. The statement concluded that Love deserved empathy, not cruelty and should not have to pay for a mans choices.

Produced by Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), the film will premiere on the streaming platform on November 5, 2026, and explores the emotional complexities of intergenerational relationships, family expectations and the meaning of home. The story follows Ansh Sikka, played by Mihir Ahuja, who returns home after years of working abroad. Having bought his middle-class Punjabi parents a new high-rise apartment, Ansh believes he has given them a better life. However, his homecoming during Diwali brings an unexpected realisation: upgrading a house does not necessarily change what makes it feel like home. As the Sikkas come together for the festival, their differing ideas of happiness and success lead to moments of humour, tenderness and emotional reflection. While Ansh wants to provide his parents with greater comforts, they remain attached to the memories and familiarity of their old life. The film explores the gap between a child's desire to give their parents the best and a parent's understanding of what truly matters. Written by Ritu Mago and directed by Ritesh Menon, Dilwali Diwali marks another collaboration between TTT and Netflix following Greater Kalesh and Musafir Cafe. Speaking about his character, Mihir Ahuja said, Anshs journey in Dilwali Diwali comes from a place of love. I think thats what makes the story so relatable. We all want to do the best for our families, but sometimes, in trying to give them more, we forget to understand what truly makes them happy. TTT has beautifully captured these nuances with humour and heart, and Im excited for audiences to experience the film on Netflix this Diwali and see a little bit of their own families in the Sikkas. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Manoj Pahwa, who plays Anshs father, added, For a parent, home is never just about the walls, the furniture, or the address. Its about the memories youve built, the people youve shared your life with, and the little things that make a place your own. Children may have a different idea of what makes a good life, but the love behind both perspectives is the same. In Dilwali Diwali, TTT and Netflix bring this familiar generational dynamic to life in a way that is deeply heartfelt. I hope audiences enjoy watching this story with their families on Netflix this Diwali and find their own meaning of home in it. With its focus on family bonds and the emotional significance of home, Dilwali Diwali arrives on Netflix on November 5, offering a festive story centred on the idea that while a house can be upgraded, the feeling of home is something else altogether.

Sumo Didi has made history by becoming the first film ever to be shot at Japans Sumo Temple, a location deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of sumo wrestling. For Hetal, seeing her story come alive at a place so closely connected to the sport carried a deeply personal significance, even though she is yet to visit Japan herself. It has always been my dream to visit Japan. I couldnt make it there yet, but I am so, so happy that my film did. Being connected to Japanese games all my life, it feels out of this world that my movie was shot in the Mecca of sumo wrestling. It also helps the film and my story connect with the traditions of the game. My film being shot in Japan is a blessing for me. One day, I will visit there and get to experience it myself, shared Hetal Dave. For the actor bringing her journey to life, filming at the same location offered an opportunity to understand the sport beyond the physical demands of the role. Shriyam Bhagnani, who plays Hetal in the film, had spent months preparing for the character before arriving in Japan. Filming in Japan, especially at a place so closely connected to the traditions of sumo, was an incredibly special experience. By that point, I had spent months training for the role, so being in an environment where the sport has such deep cultural roots gave everything a different meaning, said Shriyam. She added, Until then, much of my understanding had come from training and preparing for the character. Being surrounded by the sport in its own cultural context helped me appreciate that sumo is much more than a physical contest. It carries a history, a discipline and a set of traditions that have been preserved over generations. The film had real sumo wrestlers from across the world travelling to be a part of the shoot. Among them was a wrestler who held the top position in the sport at the time of filming. For Shriyam, the experience of filming in Japan also reinforced the responsibility of portraying Hetals story with authenticity and respect. As an actor, those experiences are invaluable because they allow you to absorb details that you might not consciously think about while performing, but that ultimately influence how you inhabit a character. It made me feel even more responsible for portraying Hetals journey with authenticity and respect, she explained. Bringing Hetals journey to life also required extensive preparation from Shriyam. Hetal personally trained the actor for 10 months before filming began, focusing on mastering sumo postures alongside broader physical training to help her embody the character convincingly. The preparation was essential to capturing not just the physical aspects of the sport, but also the discipline and dedication that shaped Hetals journey. Reflecting on what the experience meant to her, Shriyam said, More than anything, it was a reminder of how far Hetals journey had taken her and how extraordinary it was that we were bringing her story to the screen.

In a detailed social media post, the actor spoke about their understanding of love, their decision to build a life together, and why she believes their relationship should not be judged by public opinion. Taking to Instagram, Rashmika shared her perspective on the ongoing discussions and explained that the reaction to their interview had gone beyond people expressing their opinions. She wrote, My lovely people of the internet, To all those who deeply love, and to those who are permanently bitter. My lil 2 cents on this whole issue concerning me and Vijju. I generally dont address these things because everyone has a right to their opinions. Sometimes, I even enjoy reading them and gaining a different perspective. But the current frenzy over our interview feels less like people having opinions and more like an angry mob looking for someone to vent at. Somewhere along the way, the whole point got lost. Maybe it didnt fit your lens. Maybe some of you simply dont want to see it. Im writing this because I want to protect the people who believe in love, and I hope everyone gets to find their own version of it. Addressing the discussion around their decision to marry, Rashmika clarified that their conversation was never about the number of times something was discussed or an entire year. Instead, she explained that Vijay wanted them to take the time to understand each other and consider whether they were ready to move forward together. She stated, And we did. We chose each other. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashmika Mandanna (@rashmika_mandanna) The actor acknowledged that while she was certain about what she wanted, Vijay preferred to think through the practical aspects of their future before making a decision. According to her, their differences complemented each other rather than affecting their relationship. She also explained that marriage, for them, was not about a grand proposal, getting down on one knee or exchanging rings, but about building a life together. Rashmika further expressed her feelings for Vijay, making it clear that she sees no reason to hide her affection for him. She wrote, And yes, I am OBSESSED with my man. When did that become a bad thing? Explaining what their relationship means to her, she described Vijay as her lifelong companion, friend and the person with whom she wants to share both ordinary and extraordinary moments. She added that she would choose to marry him repeatedly, emphasising that their commitment goes beyond a single proposal or a particular number of times. The actor also pointed out that both she and Vijay have built their lives through their own choices and hard work. Defending their right to decide their future, she wrote, We have both built our lives on our own terms, with our own choices and our own hard work. We are smart, capable adults, blessed with the freedom and privilege to choose how we want to live and whom we want to share our lives with. And we chose US. We will keep choosing each other, again and again, until the end. Rashmika also addressed those who have expressed concern about her relationship through social media posts and reels. Thanking them for their concern, she said that they had not been present during the difficult phases of her life, while Vijay had stood by her. She added that she is currently happy and content, pointing to the joy she has experienced since getting married, as well as in her films and performances. Describing the support she receives from Vijay, Rashmika referred to moments when she has been unwell, needed medical attention or experienced anxiety. She emphasised that he has been there for her during such times and asked people not to worry about either of them. The actor also criticised the spread of misleading edits and unverified narratives online, saying that some people appeared more willing to believe internet speculation than her own account of her life. Towards the end of her post, Rashmika drew a distinction between feminism and online bullying, particularly when it involves her family. She wrote, Bitch about me all you want. I can take it. But talking about my family without knowing them? Thats not feminism. Thats bullying dressed up as feminism. She added that feminism was about having the freedom to make personal choices and take charge of one's life, rather than putting others down. Rashmika also addressed some of her Kannadiga followers, acknowledging their continued interest in her after a decade. Concluding her message, the actor expressed her wishes for people to find love, happiness and fulfilment in their own lives, regardless of whether their idea of love matched hers.

Kaashvi, ScoutOPs girlfriend, confronted him about his growing physical closeness with Love inside the Bigg Boss house. Following the episode, Love Gills team issued a strongly worded statement defending the actress and addressing the criticism directed at her. During her interaction with ScoutOP, Kaashvi sarcastically asked him, How is the massage parlour going, Tanmay? The remark referred to his interactions with Love, including instances where he was seen massaging her feet, hands and neck. Kaashvi also told Scout that Love had allegedly trapped him, saying, Usne aapko phasaya hai aur aap phas gaye. She further expressed discomfort over the nature of their bond and said it appeared different from Scouts interactions with other housemates. According to her, the equation had also made members of her family uncomfortable. Love Gills team defends her Following the episode, Love Gills team released a statement strongly objecting to the criticism directed at her. The statement said the situation had left Loves family deeply distressed and questioned why she was being held responsible for Scouts feelings. The human heart can only take so much before silence becomes a scream. Watching Love Gill stand utterly alone tonight - defenseless while her entire character was torn to shreds on national television - was nothing short of agonizing. Her family is destroyed. Shattered into pieces, the statement read. The team also spoke about the impact of watching the controversy unfold from outside the Bigg Boss house, particularly for Loves family. Imagine being a mother, sitting at home, helpless as you watch the world ruthlessly vilify the daughter you raised. Imagine watching her take the blame for a man's uncurbed emotions, while opportunistic influencers and clout-chasers turn her pain into content for likes, views, and headlines, it added. Why is a grown man treated like a victim of hypnosis? According to Loves team, she had always considered Scout a brother and did not intend to cross that boundary. From day one, Loves boundaries were clear: Scout was a brother to her. Period. Yet, the moment a grown man blurred those boundaries and confessed his feelings, society executed its oldest, most toxic double standard: blame the woman, the statement said. It further questioned why Love was being portrayed as responsible for Scouts emotions. Why is a grown man treated like a victim of hypnosis, while a girl is painted as a calculated temptress? Why is she expected to carry the burden, the shame, and the humiliation for feelings she never asked for and never reciprocated? the team asked. Love shouldnt have to bleed to protect another womans fragile reality. She shouldnt have to surrender her dignity just because someone else lacks the courage to hold their own partner accountable, it stated. She deserved empathy, not cruelty Loves team went on to describe the episode as deeply humiliating for her and accused the public discourse around the situation of turning into an attack on her character. Love Gill didnt just stand there in silence tonight-she endured a public execution of her character. She deserved to be heard, respected, and protected. Instead, she was humiliated and sacrificed at the altar of public judgment, the statement read. The team concluded by reiterating its position that Love should not be held responsible for Scouts choices. No woman should ever have to pay for a mans choices. No family should ever have to watch their child be broken like this. Love Gill deserved empathy, not cruelty. She deserved justice, not a character assassination, the statement concluded. The development adds another layer to the ongoing discussion around ScoutOP and Love Gills equation inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, particularly after Kaashvis direct confrontation with Scout during Weekend Ka Vaar.

The surprising advantage nobody is talking about [feed_description] => When Adipurush was released in June 2023, it was expected to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan, the Om Raut directorial attempted to bring the timeless story of the Ramayana to a new generation through modern visual effects and large-scale filmmaking. The expectations were enormous. So was the disappointment. Despite a massive opening, Adipurush faced widespread criticism over its visual effects, dialogues, characterisation and treatment of the source material. Its theatrical performance declined sharply after the initial enthusiasm, turning what was supposed to be a landmark cinematic event into a cautionary tale for the industry. Three years later, another ambitious adaptation of the same epic is preparing to arrive in cinemas. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, is scheduled to release on November 5, 2026. The film has been mounted on an enormous scale and carries expectations that extend far beyond conventional box-office success. Interestingly, however, the failure of Adipurush might have given Ramayana an unexpected advantage. Could one film's disappointment have created the perfect opportunity for another to succeed? Adipurush proved that the audience was there One of the most important lessons from Adipurush is often overlooked. Despite the controversies that surrounded the film after its release, it generated enormous initial interest. Audiences turned up in large numbers during the opening weekend, demonstrating the tremendous curiosity surrounding a big-screen adaptation of the Ramayana. This is significant because Adipurush did not fail due to a lack of familiarity with its subject. On the contrary, the story was already deeply embedded in Indian culture. The film benefited from that recognition, along with Prabhas' popularity and the promise of a large-scale spectacle. The problem emerged when audiences began evaluating the execution. The criticism surrounding the visual effects, dialogues and creative choices suggested that familiarity with the source material was not enough to guarantee sustained commercial success. In other words, Adipurush demonstrated both the extraordinary potential and the considerable risks of adapting the Ramayana. And that is precisely why its failure could work in favour of Nitesh Tiwari's film. The audience now knows exactly what it doesn't want Before Adipurush, the makers of a modern Ramayana adaptation faced a difficult creative challenge. How should such a revered story be presented to contemporary audiences? How much creative liberty would viewers accept? Could modern dialogue and visual effects make the epic more accessible without compromising its emotional and cultural identity? The response to Adipurush offered some important clues. A section of the audience objected strongly to what it perceived as inappropriate dialogues, unconvincing visual effects and departures from familiar characterisations. These reactions were not necessarily representative of every viewer. However, their intensity demonstrated how deeply audiences care about the way these characters are portrayed. For the makers of Ramayana, this creates an opportunity. They have the benefit of observing the public response to another expensive adaptation of the same story. Of course, there is no public evidence that the makers have altered their creative approach specifically because of Adipurush. But the broader lessons are difficult to ignore. Sometimes, a competitor's failure can provide valuable information about what the market expects. From disappointment to redemption There is also an interesting psychological dimension to the situation. When audiences are disappointed by a film based on a beloved story, their attachment to that story does not necessarily disappear. In fact, disappointment can sometimes increase the desire to see the material adapted successfully. This is where Ramayana could benefit. A section of viewers who were dissatisfied with Adipurush may be particularly interested in discovering whether Nitesh Tiwari's film delivers the cinematic experience they had hoped for. The possibility of finally witnessing a visually impressive and emotionally satisfying adaptation could become an important part of the film's appeal. Why the casting could make a difference The casting of Ramayana also offers an interesting contrast. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita and Yash takes on the role of Ravana. The film also features Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. Each actor brings a distinct screen image and audience following. However, the more important question is whether the performances will convince audiences that they are watching the characters rather than merely recognising the stars. This was one of the central challenges facing Adipurush, and it will remain equally relevant for Ramayana. The visual-effects challenge The scale of Ramayana has attracted considerable attention, particularly because of its association with Prime Focus Studios and DNEG. The involvement of a globally established visual-effects company raises expectations of a technically sophisticated production. But Adipurush demonstrated that spending heavily on visual effects does not automatically guarantee audience approval. The challenge is not merely to create spectacular imagery. It is to create a believable cinematic world in which the visual effects complement the performances and storytelling. Audiences must feel emotionally connected to Ayodhya, Lanka and the characters inhabiting these worlds. The film must ensure that spectacle serves the story rather than overwhelming it. Could Adipurush also become a disadvantage? There is another side to this argument. The failure of Adipurush may have made audiences more cautious about expensive mythological spectacles. Viewers who felt disappointed in 2023 could approach Ramayana with greater scepticism, particularly when it comes to visual effects, dialogues and the portrayal of revered characters. This means Nitesh Tiwari's film may face more scrutiny than it otherwise would have. Every major promotional asset could be examined closely. Comparisons with Adipurush may become inevitable, even if the two films differ significantly in their creative approach. Moreover, the immense expectations surrounding Ramayana create an additional challenge. Merely being better received than Adipurush would not be enough. Given the scale of the project, the film will need to establish its own identity and deliver an experience that justifies its ambitions. The real lesson from Adipurush The biggest takeaway from Adipurush is not that audiences have rejected mythological cinema. Rather, it is that the audience's attachment to a beloved story cannot be taken for granted. The familiarity of the Ramayana can generate extraordinary curiosity, but sustained box-office success requires compelling storytelling, convincing performances and strong word of mouth. This distinction is especially important for Ramayana, which is planned as a two-part cinematic event. The first instalment must not only succeed commercially but also establish sufficient audience confidence and emotional investment to sustain anticipation for the sequel. A spectacular opening weekend would be an achievement. But strong collections in the subsequent weeks would offer much more convincing evidence that the film has connected with viewers. Adipurush may have shown the industry what audiences did not want. Ramayana now has the opportunity to show them what they were waiting for. And if Nitesh Tiwari and his team manage to deliver on that promise, the disappointment of 2023 could become an unexpected chapter in one of Indian cinema's biggest success stories.

Kamya Punjabi calls for accountability Reacting to the controversy on social media, Kamya criticised the idea of holding another woman responsible for the situation. She argued that if ScoutOPs bond with Kaashvi was genuine, he should have been the one to establish boundaries. If the bond was real, he would set boundaries, not cut ties. Blaming the other girl for manipulation just to protect your own committed partner is disgusting and small-minded, Kamya wrote. She further urged people to hold Scout accountable rather than targeting Love. Stop pulling another woman down to save your man.

The actor opened up about his journey of preparing for the role during a Diwali special episode of the popular quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Reflecting on receiving the iconic role and his initial apprehensions, Ranbir Kapoor shared with host Amitabh Bachchan, Sir jab mujhe yeh role offer hua, main jaanta tha ki yeh sirf ek role nahi hai, yeh ek bahut badi zimmedari thi. Mera jo pehla instinct tha woh dar tha, fear tha, ki kya main iske kabil hoon, kya main yeh kar paunga, Prabhu Shri Ram se karodon logon ki aasta judi hui hai. (Sir, when I was offered this role, I knew that this was not just a role; it was a huge responsibility. My first instinct was fear, the fear of whether I was worthy of it and whether I would be able to do it. The faith of crores of people is associated with Lord Shri Ram) Describing how his initial anxiety transformed into deep gratitude, coinciding with a milestone personal chapter in his life, he continued, Par bahut jald sir yeh jo dar tha woh aabhar mein badla, ki mujhe is mukaam mein, at this age in my life, mujhe yeh opportunity mil rahi hai, ek achha actor banne ka... forget actor sir, ek acha insaan banne ka chance... Usi dauran sir, main pehli baar pita bana, meri beti Raha ka janam hua... To main yehi manta hoon ki it was a God's gift sir, ke mujhe ek behtar insaan banne ka mauka mila, gehraai se Ramayana ko samajhne ka mauka mila, in sab logon ke sath, beautiful logon ke sath kaam karne ka mauka mila.. (But very soon, sir, this fear turned into gratitude. At this stage in my life, at this age, I was getting the opportunity to become a good actor... forget being an actor, sir, a chance to become a good human being. During that same period, sir, I became a father for the first time, and my daughter Raha was born. So, I believe it was a gift from God, sir, that I got the opportunity to become a better human being, to understand Ramayana more deeply, and to work with all these people, these beautiful people) View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) Concluding his heartfelt thoughts on imbibing the values of the epic, Ranbir added, Sir hum Prabhu Shri Ram ke jaisa banna to sambhav nahin hai, lekin unki aadarshon se kuch sikhna I think is a big thing for all of us, so (Sir, becoming like Lord Shri Ram may not be possible, but I think learning something from his ideals is a big thing for all of us) Ranbir's reflections highlighted the personal and spiritual significance of portraying Lord Rama, underlining how the role offered him an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.

Actor recalls his UNFORGETTABLE experience with Shah Rukh Khan: I had a small role, yet he remembered my name [feed_description] => In Ra.One (2011), theres an entertaining action sequence that takes place right after the intermission, outside an airport. Sonia (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and Prateek (Armaan Verma) insist that G.One (Shah Rukh Khan) should stop beating up the goons and tell him, No touching. G.One, who is all set to kick a ruffian, stops at the last moment. However, his leg is so close to the goons face that his hair starts flying, as if a high-powered fan fitted in G.Ones shoe! The long-haired goon was played by Charanpreet Siingh. He has worked as an actor in several films, including Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns (2013), Zanjeer (2013), Ugly (2014), etc. He has also worked as a Punjabi dialect coach for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Sarbjit (2016), Tiger Shroff in A Flying Jatt (2016), Arjun Kapoor in Mubarakan (2017), etc. As Ra.One completed 15 years on October 26, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Charanpreet Siingh about his experience of working on the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer. How did you bag the part in Ra.One? I had just arrived in Mumbai and had worked in the Malayalam film The Train (2011), starring Mammootty. I was looking for more work. I knew Siddharth Sengupta, who later directed Good Luck Jerry (2022). Siddharth, Amar Kaushik (director of Stree) and I, along with many others, were part of the same group. Siddharths friend was Harish Dinkar, who was an assistant director on Ra.One. Harish asked Siddharth if he knew any actor who had long hair. Those days, I had very long hair and hence, Siddharth asked me to try my luck. I sent my photographs and was selected. I was very happy as I knew it was a film starring Shah Rukh Khan. I was flown to Hyderabad for a 15-day shoot. How was it working with Shah Rukh Khan? Shah Rukh Khan is an actor whom probably everyone loves. And he definitely has that aura. That was my first impression of him. We met every day. I had a small role and yet, we used to exchange Hello and Hi. On the last day, I asked him if I could click a picture with him. What surprised me was that he knew my name! I had introduced myself earlier, but I wasnt expecting him to remember it. He said, Haan, haan, Charan. Aa ja. I remember that at that moment, it suddenly hit me that I had come from a small town (Dehradun) and was now working alongside Shah Rukh Khan. He made me feel so comfortable despite being such a huge star. This is what makes him so loved. He instantly makes you feel special. Ill remember it for the rest of my life. Did he share any inputs or tips? There was no dialogue in the scene. Before shooting it, he put his hand on my shoulder, took me aside and explained how to perform the shot. In fact, he taught me an important lesson in acting. He told me to visualize the shot in my mind. In the scene, I had to beat up Shah Rukh. What he meant was that I should get into my character and imagine that I was actually going to beat up SRKs character. Once I did that, the angry expressions automatically appeared on my face. What feedback did you get for your part? Though it was a small role, it got noticed. I knew Tigmanshu Dhulia well. He called me and asked, Tu Ra.One mein hai kya?! That made me realize that people were recognizing me. Since mine was a close-up shot, my face was clearly visible and that helped (Charanpreet Siingh later went on to play a small role in Tigmanshu Dhulias Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns). What are you doing nowadays? I directed a film called Unfinished Story (2022). It had a run at film festivals and was even released in cinemas. More recently, I directed Draped In Silence towards the end of 2025. It is currently being screened at various film festivals. It also premiered at the first edition of the International Film Festival Delhi (IFFD), which took place at Bharat Mandapam. Next, itll be screened at the Waves Film Bazaar during IFFI (International Film Festival of India) 2026 in Goa.

She said she hoped to understand the wisdom the character could offer her through the experience. Pallavi, along with co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Ravi Dubey, appeared on the sets of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. During the interaction, the actors spoke about their experiences of being part of the film and what went through their minds when they were offered their respective roles. Welcoming the three actors to the show, Bachchan expressed his pleasure at having them on the sets and said, Aap teeno ko aaj yahan swagat karke, hamare liye bade garv ki baat hai. Garv ki baat yeh bhi hai ki aaj aap jis film ke baare mein charcha karenge, uske baare mein hum aur saari jaankari jaanna chahenge. Ek baar fir, main aap sab logon ka bahut-bahut dhanyavaad deta hoon.. (It is a matter of great pride for us to welcome all three of you here today. It is also a matter of pride that we will get to discuss the film you are working on today and learn more about it. Once again, I thank all of you very much) The host then asked the actors about their initial reactions when the filmmakers approached them for their respective characters. Addressing Pallavi first, he asked, Aap logon ne alag-alag bhumikayein nibhayi hain. Jab ye teeno bhumikayein aapko bataayi gayi, nirmata-nirdeshak ki taraf se, toh aapke man mein kya chal raha tha? Ladies first.. (You have all portrayed different roles. When the producers and director told you about these three roles, what was going through your minds? Ladies first) View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) Responding to the question, Pallavi explained that playing Sita was a different experience from her previous acting assignments. She said, Main is baar dimag use nahi karna chahti thi... par maine socha jab bhi main ek character play karti hoon, main sochti hoon ki main kya kar sakti hoon woh character ke liye, par ye pehle baar mujhe laga ki main Sita Maa ke paatra ko play karke mujhe kya milega wahan se, mujhe kya gyaan milega, mujhe kya milega (This time, I did not want to use my mind too much. But then I thought, whenever I play a character, I usually think about what I can do for that character. But for the first time, while playing the role of Sita Maa, I found myself wondering, What will I receive from this experience? What knowledge will I gain? What will I take away from it?) She further explained that she wanted to approach the character with faith and remain open to what the experience might teach her. Elaborating on her thought process, she said, Toh main kitna bhi jaanti hoon, utna main transparent rakhna chahti thi... main apne aap ko kuch sochna nahi chahti thi, sirf prarthana karke, maa aap mere dwara woh paatra nibhayi, aise bol diya, bas.. (So, whatever I knew, I wanted to keep it that transparent. I didnt want to let myself think too much about anything. I simply prayed and said, Mother, please let me play that role through me, and left it at that) Bachchan appreciated Pallavi's response, acknowledging the thought behind her approach to the character. He said, Bahut achhi baat kahi aapne, bahut achhi baat kahi.. (Youve made a very good point; a very good point indeed.) The conversation offered a glimpse into Pallavi's preparation for portraying Sita, a revered figure in Indian mythology, and the faith and introspection she hopes to bring to the role in Ramayana.
