Was John Abraham set to star in Divya Khosla’s Savi? Here’s what the actress has to say

Shukrta Vaigankar — Wed, 29 May 2024 07:21:23 +0000

Divya Khossla is preparing to release Savi, which stars Anil Kapoor and Harshvardhan Rane in pivotal roles. The film was directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar.

While Divya and John Abraham were promoting Satyameva Jayate 2, there were suggestions that both actors would appear together in a Mukesh Bhatt-produced film. When Savi was announced, John’s name was not linked to the film.

In an exclusive interview with Filmibeat, Divya and Abhinay discussed John’s casting in the film. When asked about the claims and whether John was being considered for the film, Divya responded, “I don’t know how those reports came out. I think at that time Satyameva Jayate 2 was coming, so probably from somewhere that report came. But, it was nothing like that.”

Abhinay added, “No, it might be something related to Satyameva Jayate 2.”

Well, it appears that there were only rumours regarding John and Divya starring in the film. But if John had starred in the film, we wonder which role he would have played: Harshvardhan’s or Anil Kapoor’s.

Divya while talking about her experience of working with Anil Kapoor, the actress told the news portal, “I take a lot of pressure on my own, I am a perfectionist, so I don’t need to take a pressure of someone else. I think it was amazing working with him because he is giving his 1000%, I am giving my 1000%. A lot of times it happens that, you are perfoming and if with some actor you click it so well that it’s magic, and with Anil sir I have experienced that whatever was happening it was magic. He is so passionate even at this age, he keeps mentioning his age ‘main 68 ka hu’, but his passion, commitment and sincerity towards work is so amazing.”

Savi is slated to release on 31st May 2024.

Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor claps back at troll accusing him of squandering dad Anil Kapoor’s money

Entertainment Desk — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:33:35 +0000

Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, son of Bollywood legend Anil Kapoor, recently found himself at the receiving end of social media scrutiny after a few users criticized his privileged background while he was expressing his passion for his favorite football team, Manchester United.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) took a jab at Harsh’s filmography, insinuating that he was squandering his father’s wealth on sneakers instead of focusing on his career.

In a fiery response, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor shut down the troll by listing his accomplishments in the film industry, including roles in acclaimed movies like “Ray,” “Thar,” “Bhavesh Joshi,” “Ak vs Ak,” and “Mirzya.” He dismissed the critic as an “irrelevant loser” who was resorting to bitterness on Twitter, highlighting his own dedication and hard work in the industry.

An X user commented on Harsh Varrdhan’s filmography and asked if he wants to make a good movie or if he wants to continue “buying sneakers” with his father’s money.

Responding to the troll, Harsh wrote, “Where can I watch your films? How many have you done? I’ve done Ray, Thar, Bhavesh Joshi, and Ak vs Ak, Mirzya… Who are you? An irrelevant loser who’s bitter on Twitter who started supporting City once they got rich with Arab money…”

Where can I watch your films ? How many have you done ? I’ve done Ray thar bhavesh joshi and Ak vs ak , mirzya .. who are you ? An irrelevant loser who’s bitter on twitter who started supporting city once they got Rich with Arab money .. https://t.co/2VikQBa2dB

— Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor (@HarshKapoor_) April 18, 2024

This isn’t the first time Harsh has confronted trolls on social media. In a previous incident, he humorously responded to a troll questioning his encounter with football star David Beckham, asserting his own standing and dismissing the critic’s relevance.

Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, hailing from a prestigious Bollywood lineage as the son of Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor, and the brother of Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, made his acting debut in 2016 with “Mirzya.” He has since garnered critical acclaim for his performances in diverse roles, including his breakout role in “Bhavesh Joshi Superhero” and his collaboration with his father in “Thar.”

Currently, Harsh is gearing up for the much-anticipated biopic of Olympian Abhinav Bindra, a project that has been in the making for quite some time. With his commitment to his craft and his unapologetic attitude towards critics, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor continues to carve his own path in the world of Indian cinema.

Salman Khan’s ‘Wanted 2’ confirmed? Boney Kapoor shares update on the sequel – READ

Shukrta Vaigankar — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 05:52:08 +0000

Salman Khan’s Wanted and Anil Kapoor’s Mr. India are two landmark projects in each actor’s filmography. Both films were blockbusters, and fans have been impatiently expecting their sequel. Producer Boney Kapoor recently spoke with News18 Showsha and provided an update on the sequels to both films.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Boney.kapoor (@boney.kapoor)

In an exclusive interview with the portal, he said, “Wanted, I’ve spoken to Salman. I don’t know when that will happen, but he has committed to me that he’ll do it whenever I decide, whenever I get the right script. This is the last conversation I had when I had gone to him to tell him that I’m going with No Entry with a fresh star cast.”

He added, “I told him, ‘I’m making Wanted, will you be a part of it?’ He said, ‘Yes.'” I have an idea, I will develop it. So, one day that will happen. I hope it happens sooner than later.”

Speaking about Mr India’s sequel, Boney said, “I’ve had a couple of meetings with a big overseas studio who are very seen to join hands with us. It could be a collaboration for a foreign studio, Zee and me. It may not be a sequel, it could just be a reboot or whatever. The idea is to make Mr India again. It could happen this year, it could happen next year or the following year. This kind of film cannot be planned in a jiffy.”

Boney Kapoor also commented on what made the original Mr India a smash blockbuster, agreeing that Sridevi was “the beating heart of the film”. He said, “Why is it an iconic film? I would say because of Satish Kaushik playing Calendar, Amrish Puri playing Mogambo, Anil playing Arun Verma who’s taking care of the children and Sri playing Seema the reporter.

“It is not just the film which is iconic. It’s the characters, the lines like ‘Mogambo khush hua’ and Javed’s saab’s work. It was Salim-Javed’s script but basically, all the rewriting was done by Javed saab, the dialogues were done by Javed saab. So, to outdo that would be a big task. Let’s see, we’ll make an attempt,” Boney Kapoor told the entertainment portal.

Meanwhile, Boney Kapoor is preparing for the premiere of his film Maidaan, which stars Ajay Devgn. The sports drama will premiere on April 10.

Here’s why Anil Kapoor is not on talking terms with brother Boney Kapoor

Shukrta Vaigankar — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 12:05:45 +0000

The Kapoor brothers are at odds as tensions escalate over the highly anticipated sequel to the Bollywood hit, ‘No Entry’ Producer Boney Kapoor recently addressed the increasing feud, admitting that communication has broken down between himself and his elder brother, Anil Kapoor, following Anil’s surprise departure from the sequel’s cast.

Anil Kapoor is disillusioned and outraged by the decision to express disgust in his brother and fellow producer, Boney Kapoor.

The initial film, which featured a star-studded cast including Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor, left fans waiting for the sequel. However, Boney Kapoor revealed that, despite Anil’s eagerness to repeat his part, technical restrictions made it impossible to include him in the sequel.

The sequel’s cast includes Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor in leading roles. Boney Kapoor expressed regret for the early leak, which exacerbated Anil’s dissatisfaction and caused a breakdown in communication between the brothers. Despite Boney’s efforts to clarify the situation and explain his casting decisions, Anil Kapoor remained distant, worsening their split.

Boney Kapoor defended his casting decisions, emphasising the necessity of bringing originality and relevance into the sequel. Boney intended to appeal to modern audiences, drawing on Varun and Arjun’s established relationship and Diljit’s tremendous popularity.

However, in the midst of career decisions, familial relationships weakened, as Anil’s quiet revealed his displeasure. As speculation swirls about the sequel’s development timeline, which is set to begin in December 2024 with a grand theatrical premiere in 2025, the schism between Anil and Boney remains unsolved.

With the sequel coming two decades after the initial film, emotions are high, and fans are eager to see how this cinematic rivalry will end.

Following a phenomenally successful 2023, we welcomed in 2024 with a tent pole film with a dream cast of stars that brought together a much-anticipated combination. The long-awaited film Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, eventually debuted in theatres worldwide on January 25, 2024. After a respectable opening weekend, the film enjoyed a prosperous run in theatres.

Although not as successful as many of the major motion pictures of the previous year, the Siddharth Anand-directed picture does well enough to be deemed a success. The film is now available for streaming following a successful run in theatres. As originally announced in, the film will debut on Netflix.

Fighter, one of the most anticipated films of the year, will have its digital debut in a few days, if the recent buzz is to be believed. In March of this year, the movie will be available on the massive streaming service Netflix. If that’s not thrilling enough for you already, its release is most likely in two days. You did really read correctly. According to the most recent rumours circulating online, Fighter will debut on Netflix on March 21—much sooner than any of us had anticipated.

To be sure, the allegations are based on rumours, but keep in mind that the makers haven’t even begun to promote the hugely anticipated film yet. However, we also need to take into account the fact that a lot of blockbuster films that were later advertised have quietly debuted on streaming services. Thus, there are several options. However, movie buffs and stars’ acolytes will be in for a huge surprise if Fighter makes it to Netflix this week.

The director of films like War and Pathaan, Siddharth Anand, is behind the camera on Fighter, an aerial action movie. A group of Air Force pilots who are on a mission are the focus of the film. It follows the team as they overcome adversity and decide to confront the powerful enemy who is threatening our nation in order to put things right. Sanjeeda Shaikh, Akshay Oberoi, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Hrithik Roshan, and Deepika Padukone are among its stars.

With its run, Fighter did manage to create a dent at the Indian box office. It was decent, even though it wasn’t on the same level as the big releases like Jawan, Pathaan, and Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani. The film made a total of Rs 212.50 crore in its lifespan after debuting to an opening weekend gross of Rs 123.60 crores. For more details on this and anything else related to streaming and films, keep checking back with OTTplay.

Siddharth Anand shares exciting insights about Fighter 2 with Hrithik Roshan & Deepika Padukone in the lead- Check details here

Sheetal Choudhary — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 17:16:52 +0000

Siddharth Anand’s much-awaited film Fighter has finally got its theatrical release this week. Starring Deepika Padukone, Hrithik Roshan and Anil Kapoor, the film was highly anticipated by the fans. The makers of the film along with the star cast are currently basking in the success of Fighter. The movie is receiving positive reviews from fans and critics.

In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Siddharth Anand shared some interesting details regarding the sequel of Figher. During the conversation, he was asked if he had any plans to make a second instalment for the film. To which he replied by saying that the audience will decide that. Also, it’s just been three days since the movie’s release.

If the movie is showered with immense love by the audience, he will surely love to make Fighter into a larger story. He has some great ideas, which he would like to put down for the sequel part.

Adding further, the filmmaker stated that he has never been excited about making part 2s. He stated that he would be one of the directors who has never made a sequel. Though, there are ace directors in the country who have made sequels and have been successful.

But Siddharth is one of the filmmakers who hasn’t made a sequel yet. However, it also suggests he might want to make a sequel one day.

Siddharth even remarked that he wanted to create new stories and characters. Meanwhile, there is also a sort of comfort zone in creating sequels. You try to match it to the previous film and start relying on nostalgia. However, he doesn’t enjoy it and it will also keep him stagnated.

Siddharth doesn’t want to stagnate in the process of filmmaking and would want to challenge himself with every new movie. Sequels are meant for comfort zones and he doesn’t want to feel comfortable.

Fighter had its theatrical release on the eve of Republic Day i.e. 25th January. The film is receiving heartfelt responses from the fans and is achieving massive success.

In an interview with stand-up comedian turned actor Anubhav Singh Bassi, Ranbir revealed that many were unaware of the plot of Animal since its production stage. Bobby Deol didn’t know what the story was about while Anil Kapoor knew the film revolved around a father-son relationship.

Sharing details about Animal Park, Ranbir said that Sandeep has narrated to him 2 to 3 scenes and they are exciting. Since the massive success of Animal, the director is confident about the sequel as well and would like to delve deeper into the story.

From the second part onwards the story will get more dark and complex. Ranbir believes Sandeep can do anything.

Adding further, Ranbir stated that though the film was critically acclaimed, it has started a healthy conversation in society. He shared that films have the power to start conversations. People have started talking about toxic masculinity and discussing as to how much wrong it is. Unless people don’t talk about it, it wouldn’t get recognized.

Animal had its theatrical release on the 1st of December, 2023. The film was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It featured Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Triptii Dimri in key roles.

Anurag kashyap claims “Animal has created more discussion around misogyny than any other film”

Malavika Manoj — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 16:08:35 +0000

‘Animal’ has become this year’s biggest hit, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Despite the divisive reaction to several aspects of the film, such as the promotion of toxic masculinity and the misogynistic treatment of women, The Sandeep Reddy Vanga is still smashing box office records. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has now responded to Animal in a new interview with OTT Play, stating that the movie ‘is doing something good’ since it has sparked a discussion about women.

Anurag discussed his opinions on the response to Animal in an interview with OTT Play during the Kolkata International Film Festival. He declared, “You cannot force responsibility on anyone. People take responsibility for themselves or they don’t. How many people went and watched a film that you considered to be feminist? Only a handful of people watch them and underline if it was a real feminist film or a pseudo-feminist film. A film like Animal has galvanised more feminists in this country than any other feminist film. It has created more discussion around misogyny than any other film. So it is doing something good.”

He went on to say that Animal was the reason why most people were taught feminism. He said, “You need a provocateur in a society for people to understand. More people were taught feminism because of Animal and the discussions around it. Why are you scared of a provocateur? We are educated and learned people. Why are we afraid of someone who provokes us? I think being provoked is a good thing. I have always tried to make films to make people uncomfortable, as a filmmaker. When I made Ugly, I wanted people to go back and not sleep that night.”

Animal stars Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Ranbir Kapoor in key parts. The poisonous bond between a father and son is the subject of the movie. Ranbir portrays a wounded and vindictive son, while Anil plays the emotionally absent father. Since its December 1 premiere in theatres throughout the globe, it has brought in ₹717.46 crore.

Karan Johar refers to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s argument while addressing the significance of gender politics in films

Malavika Manoj — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 13:30:25 +0000

Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has gone viral on social media, with many criticising the film’s toxic masculinity and misogyny. Karan Johar discussed the significance of gender politics in film in an interview with Film Companion. He referred Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the director used his own mistakes as an example of how crucial it is to change with age.

During the Director’s Adda for Film Companion, Karan Johar talked about how much has changed in the present generation and how difficult it is to write a love story for them. Karan stated that he wanted to address several issues within the framework of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Cancel culture is one among them. In addition, he addressed gender politics, saying, “The gender politics of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I understand, is incorrect as opposed to the gender politics of Rocky Aur Rani. Because now I have evolved, now I have understood.”

“Then you have someone like Sandeep Reddy Vanga telling you that why are you listening to anybody? Just do your own thing! I feel like you got to understand that with age comes evolution. Being a parent specifically, parent of twins, a boy and a girl… you understand how important gender politics are. You don’t want to make those mistakes. You don’t want to tell your children that you wear pink hoodie and you wear blue. Its okay for both of them to wear pink and blue. Also, you don’t tell the boy that don’t cry like a girl”, added Karan.

The film Animal portrays a violent world against the backdrop of a strained relationship between Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Ranvijay Singh, and Anil Kapoor’s character, Balbir Singh. Prior to its December 1st release, the CBFC awarded the movie an A certificate. The movie’s box office performance has been great.

Mansi Taxak DEFENDS marital rape scene in Animal

Malavika Manoj — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 08:12:01 +0000

Mansi Taxak claimed that Bobby Deol’s character was acting in an “unpredictable” manner following his brother’s death, and she appeared to justify the scene of marital rape in her movie Animal. During an interview with Zoom Entertainment, Mansi, who portrayed one of Bobby’s three wives, Abrar Haque, the antagonist in the Ranbir Kapoor film, addressed the scene where her character is raped by her husband, Bobby.

She said, “It is shocking, of course. Nobody expects their wedding to end that way. When the wedding sequence starts, if you see the lights and the way the art was done, it is beautiful. You hear the music, that has gone so viral on Instagram. It was heading towards a beautiful end, and suddenly, you see something like this happening. It was to tell the audience that an animal is coming; if you thought Ranbir (Ranbir Kapoor) was this way, you could expect the villain to be (worse). It was an apt way to establish Bobby Sir’s character and to show the audience what real animal we’re talking about… I would not wish that to happen at my wedding ever!”

Mansi agreed that Abrar was “filled with animal instincts” during the incident, which caused him to vent his anger on his new bride, but he disputed that any assault had occurred. In the wedding scene, after learning of his brother’s passing, Abrar assassinates the messenger before publicly attacking Mansi’s character, his youngest wife, on her wedding day. Some viewers have criticised the scene for encouraging violence against women.

That was not the intention, Mansi conceded, adding that she ‘fully gets where people are coming from’. The actor stated, “It was not the intent to show that any sort of assault was happening. It was just that Bobby sir (Bobby Deol) did not expect his brother’s death news to come at the wedding, which puts the character into a zone where he couldn’t think straight. And that’s what we’re talking about, right? Animal instincts are unpredictable instincts. So he goes into that zone, and to vent out his emotions, he comes to his wives. I don’t think it was intended to be any sort of assault. I didn’t feel it on the set, or in the script. That was not the case. It was just a relationship between two people that has panned out the way it did.”

Further on Animal

Animal, which was helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starred Triptii Dimri, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Ranbir Kapoor among others, was released on December 1. The film has been doing incredibly well in India and around the world, despite drawing criticism for its portrayal of toxic masculinity and misogyny.

Rashmika Mandanna says she would question some of Gitanjali’s actions in ‘Animal’

Malavika Manoj — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 08:11:10 +0000

Actor Rashmika Mandanna gave a long statement about her role as Animal’s Gitanjali, the movie that’s still topping the box office. Ranbir Kapoor also appears in the Sandeep Reddy Vanga film, which received mixed reviews. In the film, Rashmika plays Ranbir’s girlfriend, with whom he later cheats on her after they are married and have kids.

Speaking about her character, which likewise provoked conflicting responses from movie buffs, Rashmika said that she had some doubts about certain aspects of the part. She wrote, “Gitanjali. If I were to describe her in a sentence… it would be the only force at home holding her family together. She is pure, real, unfiltered, strong and raw. At times as an actor, I would question some of Gitanjali’s actions.”

She defended her movie role even more by adding, “And I remember my director telling me – this was their story. Ranvijay’s and Gitanjali’s.. it was their love and passion, their families and their lives – this is who they are. In a world full of violence, hurt and unbearable pain – Gitanjali would bring peace trust and calm. She would pray to her Gods to keep her husband and her kids safe. She was the rock that weathered all the storms. She would do anything in her power for the sake of her family. Gitanjali is absolutely beautiful in my eyes, and in some ways, she is like most women who are standing strong and protecting their families day in and day out. Happy one week to us #Animal team”.

In Animal, a gang conflict is built up with a lot of violence. The main characters are Anil Kapoor, who plays Balbir Singh, and Ranbir Kapoor, who plays his son Ranvijay Singh, also known as Vojay. Their relationship is characterised by conflict. Triptii Dimri has a major role in the movie, and Bobby Deol portrays the antagonist.

Recently, the movie became embroiled in yet another controversy when Congressman Ranjeet Ranjan of the Rajya Sabha criticised it for its sexism and glorification of violence.

“Cinema is a mirror to society. We have all grown up watching films. Cinema has a great deal of influence on society, especially among the youth. Nowadays, there are some films that are coming, like Kabir (Singh), Pushpa and now this film, Animal. My daughter and a bunch of other children were watching the film. They cried and left the theatre at halftime. The film’s justification of violence and misogyny is shameful”, said Ranjan.

“Now this is what you call goosebumps,” wrote a person on X in reaction to the teaser shared by Hrithik. Another one said, “Cannot wait for Republic Day 2024 now!” One more said about Deepika’s look, “Fierce and so, so cool.” A person also said, “Oooh, the men in uniform look dashing!”

In the picture shared on Instagram on June 26, Hrithik was seen in a pilot’s gear, standing in an airfield with his back towards the camera. A fighter jet was also seen in the frame. Hrithik looked at the jet with his hand resting on it. He wrote in his caption, “Fighter 25 January 2024… 7 months to Fighter.”

Hrithik has worked on his figure in order to fit into his role in the film. On Instagram, the actor has been posting videos and photos of his voyage. Earlier this year, the actor posted a video of himself working out in the gym and stated, “My friend and trainer Kris Gethin journey back to his home in the US tom. With still 10 weeks more to go for the completion of our 2nd phase, and 6 months of intense hard work already behind us, I could not have been more satisfied, more charged, more driven and more at peace with the process than I am right now at this very moment. And that process by the way has very little to do with muscle and more to do with the heart and mind…”

The film will be released in January 2021. Fighter was supposed to be released in theatres in September 2022. However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, pre-production was delayed.
Deepika and Hrithik are partnered opposite each other for the first time in this film. Hrithik previously collaborated with Siddharth in the film War, opposite Tiger Shroff. Hrithik was most recently seen in Vikram Vedha. Deepika was most recently seen in Pathaan, the year’s biggest hit so far.
