Janhvi Kapoor’s Latest Look: All-Black Outfit With Bootcut Denim That Steals The Show | Glamsham.com

Janhvi Kapoor, who wowed audiences with her performance in Param Sundari, is now stepping into the spotlight once again with her upcoming romantic comedy Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Slated for a theatrical release on October 2, the film is already generating significant buzz among fans. Adding to the excitement is Janhvi’s impeccable style, which she has been flaunting during the promotional run.

Janhvi was seen at the Mumbai airport on Thursday, apparently returning from the promotional tour of the film. As ever, her airport style made eyes roll. The actress went for a chic all-black look that balanced comfort with elegance. Wearing a black button-down shirt and black fitted trousers, she made a snazzy monochrome outfit that was chic and ready to travel at the same time.

She finished her look with chunky black boots and dark shades, while letting loose her big, curly locks of hair, bringing a dash of glamour to the ensemble. Opting for simplicity with accessories, Janhvi achieved the best of both worlds with effortless and classy — cementing herself as a contemporary fashion icon in the process.

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari features Janhvi alongside Varun Dhawan in prominent roles. The movie traces the lives of Sunny (played by Varun) and Tulsi (played by Janhvi) as they try to tackle complex relationships with their past flames, played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf. The movie guarantees a blend of romance, comedy, and emotional drama all coated in a quirky and offbeat script.

Supporting acts from Maniesh Paul and Akshay Oberoi are likely to lend extra humor and complexity to the narrative, making it one of the most hotly awaited releases of the year. The combination of new pairing, interesting plot, and cast in the film has already gained the audience’s attention.

Apart from this, Janhvi Kapoor will also leave us awestruck with Homebound, a Dharma Productions produced film directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. A 2020 New York Times article by Basharat Peer is the source material for the film, starring Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa along with it, with Reem Shaikh, Harshika Parmar, and Shalini Vatsa providing supporting acts.

EXCLUSIVE: Rahul Dev States Craft Matters More Than Going To Gyms

written by jummy84

Rahul Dev confessed that acting matters more than going to the gym and building a body for actors. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, the actor recalls building six-pack abs in the beginning of his career. Scroll down to read what he said and watch the full interview.

Rahul Dev States Craft Matters More Than Going To Gyms

When asked about the struggles faced by him in the industry, the actor said, “Agar aap yaha negative roles se aage aagaye, toh mujhe kai baar lagta tha ki yaar koi humein dusre kisam ke roles de, not purely hero-villain wala chakkar. Kyunki main is industry ka pehle se hissa nahin hu, bahar se aaya hu.
Aur jin logon se main seekhne ki koshish kar raha tha uss time ki craft hota kya hai. Sabse pehle toh yeh hai ki craft kya hai aapka? Lekin uss yeh bhi disha galat ho gayi thi ki hum log sirf six-pack banane mein lage hue the.”

He further added, “Woh bhi ek tarah se kaam aa gaya Champion mein, unhe ek balwan negative actor chahiye tha Sunny ke opposite Aur unka screen image itna bada tha, matlab yaar, jo aadmi handpump ukhaad ke poori train wapas le aaye Hindustan, sochiye na!”

Rahul Dev On Physical Training

Talking about actors that focus on physical training for their acting careers, Rahul said, “Toh toh uss wajah se, aur jab aap ek kisi shaili mein tayyar nahin hote, toh mujhe lagta hai ki bohot saare log jab mujhse milte hain bolte hain, yaar main training kar raha hoon acting ki aur gym ja raha hoon.
Yaar gym aap tab jao zaroor lekin Main yeh isliye keh raha hoon kyunki logon ko lagta hai ki yaar exercise bada important hai. Lekin mujhe lagta hai ki kisi bhi director, jab aapse milta hai na, especially achhe wale directors, ya koi accha writer hai..ab toh casting directors bhi bohot accurate aa gaye hain ki kaunsa role chahiye.”

He added, “Phir doosra yeh hai ki director aur kahani mein kya depth dikhana chah raha hai voh. Uske irdh-girdh ke characters select hote hain aajkal. Aur kabhi-kabhi ho sakta hai aap unhe convince kar do ki yaar humein le lo, lagta toh nahin hoon waise magar aapko dikha dunga. Woh again kismaat hai, woh aapki conviction hai. But in the end, they are very clear. Directors are very clear who they want to cast, aur casting directors bhi. Brief unke paas already hota hai. Main uss accha kaam ki baat kar raha hoon jo ab ho raha hai.”

Rahul Dev will be seen in Welcome to the Jungle and The Saga of Rashtriya Rifles.

written by jummy84

James Cameron’s Avatar universe is set to return to the theaters once again with the re-release of Avatar: The Way of Water. The movie will be re-released worldwide on October 3, giving audiences another chance to experience the breathtaking visuals of Pandora on the big screen. This time, however, there is an added incentive: never-before-seen footage from the upcoming sequel, Avatar: Fire and Ash, reported Variety.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is returning to theaters this October(X)

A unique experience for Avatar fans

According to the report, unlike typical re-releases that feature a single teaser, The Way of Water screenings will each feature one of three exclusive clips from Avatar: Fire and Ash. That means fans who want to see all of the new footage may have to attend multiple screenings, making the re-release an event designed for die-hard enthusiasts.

Each clip, as per Variety report, will reveal a different aspect of Pandora’s story, offering fresh insight into the challenges awaiting Jake Sully, Neytiri, and their family in the next chapter.

The legacy of Avatar

At over $2.9 billion worldwide, James Cameron’s 2009 original Avatar is still the highest-grossing movie ever. With a $2.3 billion box office total, its 2022 sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is currently the third highest-grossing film of all time, behind only its predecessor and Avengers: Endgame.

By presenting Jake and Neytiri’s kids, introducing new Na’vi clans, and pushing the limits of visual effects with innovative underwater scenes, the second movie broadened the scope of Pandora. The tragic death of Jake’s oldest son, Neteyam, was part of the story’s emotional climax, which left viewers wanting more, Collider reported.

What we know about Avatar: Fire and Ash

While Jake and Neytiri begin their life with their family in a new Na’vi group called the Ash People, a violent conflict could run high, throwing Pandora into uncertainty: visual marvels and deep emotional engagement seem to be the focus of this film.

Actors Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, and Edie Falco return to challenge new spells by Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis. The film is directed by James Cameron and jointly produced by Jon Landau and Cameron himself, with an official release date set for December 19 worldwide.

High expectations for the sequel

Due to the colossal success of the first two films, the expectations for Fire and Ash are sky-high. The strategy of sneak peeks is Disney’s way of ensuring that the excitement builds and stays up until the release. The saga, backed with advanced technology, is in itself the living definition of a cinematic spectacle underdefined by Cameron.

FAQs:

Q1: When will Avatar: The Way of Water return to theatres?

It will be re-released worldwide on October 3, 2025.

Q2: What is special about this re-release?

Each screening includes a never-before-seen clip from Avatar: Fire and Ash. There are three different clips in total, but each screening will feature only one.

Q3: When will Avatar: Fire and Ash release?

The film is set to premiere worldwide on December 19, 2025.

In 2011, Luv Ranjan and Kartik Aaryan collaborated for the first time on Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which unexpectedly became a success and gained a cult status among moviegoers. They collaborated again in 2015 for the sequel to Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which successfully continued the tradition of the first film and was well-received by audiences everywhere.

The casting and other aspects of the film will be locked in the coming months. The source concluded, “The Luv Ranjan style entertainment, will be packaged with strong music. It’s going to be Kartik Aaryan in an avatar that audiences love to see him in.” While Kartik Aaryan is currently busy prepping for his film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri to hit theatres on December 31, 2025, Luv Ranjan is set to release De De Pyaar De 2 on November 14, 2025.

Ektaa Kapoor Denies Weightloss 'Dig' At Ram Kapoor, Reveals Personal Struggles

Ektaa Kapoor Denies Weightloss ‘Dig’ At Ram Kapoor, Reveals Personal Struggles

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Filmmaker Ektaa Kapoor recently found herself in the spotlight, accused of taking a subtle dig at actor Ram Kapoor for his significant weight loss on social media. However, in a recent conversation with India Today, Ektaa decisively clarified the misunderstanding, explaining that her comments were not aimed at the actor but were, in fact, a reference to her own upcoming show and a personal struggle with weight. This clarification sheds light on the often-misinterpreted nature of social media posts and the public’s tendency to connect dots where none exist.

​Ektaa unequivocally dismissed claims about taking a dig at Ram Kapoor’s weight loss. She explained the context behind her social media post, which had been widely misconstrued. “I am going to take a moment to tell everyone, this was exactly one week before I launched the Bade Achhe Lagte Hain promo, where the promo itself had a line that the girl is trying on an outfit and she’s a large size and wants to fit into a medium. Again, dealing with body-shaming, self-doubt and self-assurance,” Ektaa stated. Her post was intended to align with the themes of body image and self-acceptance explored in her show. “This was taken in a completely different direction. The very next video I put up immediately after that was about how we, as women, should start accepting ourselves.”

Ektaa Kapoor Questions Ram Kapoor Analogy

​She expressed genuine bewilderment at how Ram Kapoor became entangled in the narrative. “I have no idea how Ram Kapoor, who is neither a woman, nor on television currently, and not battling any weight issues – he’s lost a lot of weight – came into the picture. I was like, really? It’s like I am talking about my hair and somebody somewhere else says, ‘Oh, you called me bald.’ Why would I do that?” This analogy vividly illustrates her frustration with the misinterpretation and the unfounded assumptions made by a segment of the audience.

​Ektaa further revealed a personal connection to the topic, admitting that she is grappling with her own weight issues. She stated that she is perfectly fine with people using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, and may even consider trying one herself as she feels “stuck” at the moment. Her decision is not purely aesthetic; she mentioned that she is also considering it due to persistent pain in her joints caused by inflammation, highlighting a health-driven motivation rather than just superficial concerns.

​The Viral Weight Loss Debate and Social Media Ripples

​The entire controversy ignited earlier this year in March when Ram Kapoor stunned everyone with his dramatic weight loss transformation. His new physique became a major talking point, with many internet users speculating that he had achieved his results by using Ozempic, a pharmaceutical drug known for its weight-loss effects. Ram Kapoor later clarified that he was not using the drug and had, in fact, worked diligently on his fitness through rigorous exercise and diet.

​Shortly after Ram’s transformation, Ektaa Kapoor shared a video that was widely interpreted as an indirect dig at him. In the video, she openly discussed weight loss options, saying, “What do I do? I’ve gained a lot of weight. Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Mounjaro? Ozempic? All of the above? Zip my mouth? Ya chhod dun? Hum bade hi acche lagte hain! (Or shall I leave it? Because I look good just the way I am)!” In the caption, she pointedly wrote: “Ozempic ho jaye.” This post, coupled with its timing, fueled the perception that it was aimed at Ram Kapoor, especially given the ongoing Ozempic speculation surrounding him.

​The situation escalated when Ram Kapoor’s wife, Gautami Kapoor, posted a video on Instagram mimicking Ektaa’s video, adding her own pointed comments. Gautami said, “Should I do an anti-inflammatory diet? Should I take Mounjaro? Should I take Ozempic (pharmaceutical drugs), or all of the above? Or should I just zip my mouth? But I think mere liye gym hi kaafi hai (For me, the gym is enough).” She concluded her video with a clear dig at Ektaa’s popular show, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, by saying, “Kyunki humein bade nahi, chhote hi achhe lagte hain.” Her caption further clarified her stance: “Let people do what they like… live and let live… at the end, what matters is health, happiness, and peace (sic).” This exchange highlighted a simmering tension and a misunderstanding that has now been addressed by Ektaa.

​Meanwhile, Ektaa Kapoor continues to be a prolific producer. She is currently garnering praise for her Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot, which also marks Smriti Irani’s much-anticipated comeback to the screen as her iconic character, Tulsi. The show, despite facing stiff competition from Rupali Ganguly’s Anupamaa, has still managed to secure a top position in the TRP charts, showcasing Ektaa’s continued dominance in television. She also has the film Vvan: Force Of The Forest in the pipeline. Backed by Ektaa and directed by Deepak Mishra, the film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles and is scheduled for release in cinemas in 2026.

Raj Kapoor’s Jaw-Dropping Demand For His Debut Film: Madhubala, The 13-Year-Old Beauty! | Glamsham.com

written by jummy84

Even before he grew up to become Indian cinema’s iconic showman Raj Kapoor, the adolescence of Raj was one of rebellion and restlessness. Raj, as an inquisitive and reckless teenager, troubled his father, the great Prithviraj Kapoor, with his interests in the city’s red-light district and his lack of interest in studies. It was a period that tried the patience of his father, who was lost himself about how to punish or counsel his son.

It was at this pivotal point that director Kidar Sharma entered Raj’s life as mentor and guardian. In a candid ancient interview with Prasar Bharti, Sharma described how he came to be involved with Raj for the first time. “Prithviraj Kapoor, my friend, was greatly disturbed with his son. He said to me, ‘My son has reached his teens, and he wants to learn everything about birds and bees.”. He has dropped studies, and he’s getting very uncontrollable. I can’t raise my hand on him, I don’t know what to do.’ I said to him, ‘Leave the boy with me; I will put him in order like a schoolmaster.’

Raj Kapoor joined Sharma’s film crew as a third assistant, a job that consisted of doing menial things such as carrying the clapboard. But even in that minor role, his vanity was evident. Sharma remembered how often Raj would pick up the camera lens and use it as a mirror rather than working. Sharma finally lost his cool after being warned several times and slapped Raj on the face. “My Punjabi blood was boiling,” he said. To Sharma’s surprise, Raj didn’t fight back or flee — he smiled and walked away.

The very next day, Sharma noticed something in Raj that made him turn around. Seeing the boy’s actual talent was in acting and not behind the camera, Sharma proposed to give the lead role to him in Neel Kamal. He even advanced Raj ₹5,000. Overwhelmed with the gesture, Raj cried and said to Sharma, “Don’t you know, kindness hurts most? Why are you being so kind to me? I am useless, I will spoil your film and you.”

Sharma pacified him and inquired whom he desired as his heroine. Raj whispered to him that he desired a beautiful one — namely, the young daughter of a Pathaan — Madhubala. Although only 13 at the time, she was taken on, and the beginning of a cinematic timelessness was created.

Thamma Trailer Out! ‘Alok’ Ayushmann Khurrana Fights ‘Yakshasan’ Nawazuddin Siddiqui For His Love ‘Taraka’ Rashmika Mandanna Amid Bloodshed And Comedy- Watch

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The trailer for Maddock Films’ magnum opus, Thamma, plunges us straight into a BLOODY world where love bleeds, legends awaken, and humour turns too relatable. Rashmika Mandanna’s Tadaka revives a thousand-year-old legend, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Yakshaashan makes a bone-chilling declaration, and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Alok finds himself with bloodshot eyes, no pulse, sunlight burning his skin. From there, the trailer explodes into a never-before-seen spectacle with VFX that can only be called LEGENDARY: beasts unleashed, moments of action and horror seamlessly balanced with Maddock Films’ signature comic timing. And at its heart lies a love story – bloody, wild, and unforgettable – making Thamma a complete entertainer that families can enjoy together this festive season.

Thamma Trailer Out

In addition to the trailer, Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films also revealed the visual identity of Maddock’s Horror-Comedy Universe (MHCU), giving fans their first look at the evolving cinematic world that began with Stree and now expands in a bigger, bloodier way with Thamma. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, Thamma blends horror, action, comedy, and romance into a cinematic experience unlike anything before.

With an ensemble cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal, Faisal Malik, and Geeta Agrawal, the film promises a Diwali spectacle of epic proportions.

Dinesh Vijan On Thamma

Dinesh Vijan, founder of Maddock Films and producer of Thamma, says, “The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe began with Stree and has grown with Bhediya and Munjya. With Thamma, we aimed to take the universe to its next stage – not just in terms of story, but also in terms of scale, ambition, and technology. For us, the goal has always been to draw inspiration from Indian folklore for our characters. It’s a forgotten Indian story we have revived. Today, with the reveal of the visual identity of the MHCU, we are committing to a long-term vision of telling Indian stories for Indian and global audiences.”

Ayushmann Khurrana On Thamma

Ayushmann Khurrana says, “Becoming a part of Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock horror-comedy universe is a thrilling step in my journey as an actor. This genre has always fascinated me because it pushes boundaries – it makes you laugh, scares you, and yet touches your heart. In Thamma, I play Alok – a man who never asked for the extraordinary, but is forced to confront it. He’s flawed, vulnerable, and ambitious, and suddenly, he’s carrying the weight of powers he doesn’t fully understand.”

He added, “What excites me most is that this film is an entertainer, one that families across generations can watch and enjoy together this Diwali. Under Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik’s vision, Aditya Sarpotdar’s storytelling, and with the brilliant energies of Rashmika, Nawaz bhai, and Paresh ji, we’ve built something that I believe will define the next chapter of Indian cinema’s horror-comedy space. And trust me, this trailer is just a glimpse of the madness you are going to see on screen. The universe is only getting bigger from here.”

Amar Kaushik On Thamma

Co-producer Amar Kaushik adds, “What excites me most about the MHCU is how we, in every film, add something new while staying rooted in India’s cultural DNA. Thamma is the first love story we have created in this universe, and who doesn’t love a love story? When audiences watch Thamma, they will see it has the right amount of horror, humour, and heart. Something that we at Maddock have always stood for. It is a total family entertainer that I am sure families will love watching this Diwali.”

Rashmika Mandanna On Thamma

Rashmika Mandanna, who has worked with Maddock Films before but, for the first time, will be seen as part of the MHCU. She said, “Thamma is a very special film for me because it brings together horror, comedy, folklore, and even a love story rooted in India. Playing Tadaka has been both challenging and exciting, as she’s an age-old legend brought to life anew. I’m thankful to Maddock Films for giving me this opportunity once again, and I’m really looking forward to everyone experiencing Thamma.”

Aditya Sarpotdar On Thamma

Aditya Sarpotdar, director, added, “With Munjya, we tapped into folklore to create a horror-comedy that felt rooted yet entertaining. Thamma takes the universe forward in an unexpected way – it’s scarier, funnier, and at its heart, a twisted love story. Being part of the MHCU is exciting because each film adds a new layer, and with Thamma, audiences will see just how wild this universe can get.”

The Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe already includes blockbusters like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, and with Thamma, the universe grows bigger, bloodier, and bolder. With the new visual identity now revealed, fans can expect many more exciting chapters to come. So this October 21, watch Thamma in cinemas- Maddock Films’ most ambitious Horror-Comedy crossover yet.

Ashneer Grover says he was offered Bigg Boss 19 wildcard entry, shares screenshot of email: ‘Salman Bhai se pooch le!’

Published on: Sept 26, 2025 06:49 pm IST

Former Shark Tank judge Ashneer Grover reflects on his strained relationship with Salman Khan amid Bigg Boss invitation.

Ashneer Grover, former Shark Tank India judge, recently stirred headlines after revealing that he was invited to join Bigg Boss 19 as a wildcard contestant. On Friday, 26 September, Ashneer took to social media to share a screenshot of an email allegedly sent by the show’s Senior Casting Coordinator, inviting him to enter the popular reality show.

Ashneer Grover reveals an invitation to join Bigg Boss 19 as a wildcard contestant, sharing an unverified email praising his personality.

Ashneer shares email from Bigg Boss makers

Though the authenticity of the email remains unverified, the message praised Ashneer’s “dynamic personality” and “engaging social media presence,” while describing him as a “strong candidate” for the controversial show.

However, Ashneer responded to the invite with his trademark sarcasm. Taking a subtle jab at Salman Khan, the host of Bigg Boss, he wrote:

“Haha! Salman bhai se pooch le!! Mai to free ho jaaunga tab tak. (Haha! Ask Salman Bhai. I would get free till then. Yeh ‘mail merge’ kisi ki to naukri khayega.(This mail merge will take away someone’s job)”

(For context, ‘mail merge’ refers to a tool used to send mass personalised emails implying the invite may not have been personally crafted.)

Ashneer and Salman’s controversy

This isn’t the first time Ashneer and Salman Khan have clashed publicly. Their alleged fallout dates back to 2019, when Ashneer, then co-founder of BharatPe, approached Salman’s team to onboard him as a brand ambassador. According to Ashneer, during a meeting at a shoot, he requested a photo with the superstar but Salman’s manager refused, citing that the actor wasn’t comfortable with taking photos at the time.

Their strained dynamic resurfaced during Bigg Boss 18, when Ashneer appeared in a special Weekend Ka Vaar episode. On the show, Salman publicly reprimanded him for comments made about his fees and public persona. In response, Ashneer later posted a detailed note reflecting on his experience and the show’s format.

Sai Abhyankkar Commands Record Fee for His Malayalam Debut in Balti

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Sai Abhyankkar is only 20, but the buzz around him would make you think he’s a seasoned chart-topper. The Chennai-based musician first captured attention with independent tracks like Katchi Sera, which exploded across social platforms and catapulted him into the spotlight. Since then, his music has become a fixture on reels and playlists, and his journey has been a textbook case of how digital virality can fast-track a career.

Now, Sai is making his entry into Malayalam cinema with Balti, a bilingual sports action drama from director Unni Sivalingam, fronted by Shane Nigam. The film marks a daring bet on the young composer — one that has already set a record in Mollywood.

Producer Santhosh T. Kuruvilla recently revealed that Sai was paid more than ₹2 crore for Balti, making him the highest-remunerated music director in the industry’s history. What’s more striking is that this staggering sum went to a debutant in Malayalam.


Betting Big on Balti

Asked why he was willing to take such a leap, Santhosh pointed to instinct and numbers. “When you see someone’s songs drawing two to three crore views online, you know there is something special,” he explained in an interview. His gamble has already shown early signs of paying off: Jaalakaari, the film’s first single, has gone viral in Tamil Nadu, especially on Instagram reels, amplifying the pre-release buzz.

Since signing on for Balti, Sai has reportedly been flooded with offers, landing 11 Tamil films and two Telugu projects. His rapid ascent is not just hype but a reflection of his growing footprint across South Indian cinema.


A Project of Scale

Balti itself is a project of scale. It is Shane Nigam’s 25th film, shot extensively across Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In its Kerala release, the film will be presented in a 60–40 mix of Malayalam and Tamil, while the Tamil Nadu release will be fully in Tamil. Dubbed versions in Telugu and Kannada are set to hit screens on October 9, with a Hindi release also being planned.

Backing the film are producers Santhosh T. Kuruvilla and Binu George Alexander, whose confidence in both the story and its young composer suggests they are positioning Balti as a cross-over entertainer.

For Sai, this debut is more than just a soundtrack. It is a test of whether his digital success can translate into a cinematic legacy. If the response to the singles is anything to go by, Balti’s music could well become one of the film’s biggest talking points.
