Shah Rukh Khan thanks fans for showering love on son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood

Actor Shah Rukh Khan, known for his deep bond with fans, has expressed heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support his son Aryan Khan received for his much-discussed directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The actor took to social media to respond to a fan club post featuring images of people celebrating the series with posters of both Shah Rukh and Aryan.

Proud father Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to thank audiences for liking son Aryan Khan’s new Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

Shah Rukh shares fans celebrating the show

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Shah Rukh shared pictures of fans celebrating the show. He wrote a note that read: “Thank u team for the love and cheers. Hope you guys finished watching the show… at least a few times. Ha ha.”

During the launch event of the show, Shah Rukh had noted his initial thoughts about it and Aryan’s approach. “When Aryan told me he was going to make a show on Bollywood, that it would be raw, edgy, and would have some madness to it,” he said. “I thought, ‘Is he going to share the CCTV footage of Mannat on YouTube?'” Shah Rukh Khan added.

“If I’m being honest, it took me a while to really catch on and catch the tone of the show. Once I did, I was completely drawn in, and honestly, I’m really, really happy about it.”

The Ba***ds of Bollywoog getting rave reviews

Aryan’s debut series has sparked widespread conversation since its release, both for its bold subject matter and its unconventional storytelling. The show takes a satirical, behind-the-scenes look at the film industry, peeling back the glamour to reveal the chaos beneath. Its daring tone and fresh perspective have drawn praise from critics and viewers alike.

In a review, Hindustan Times noted: “What works in Ba***ds’ favour is that these spicy gossip and anecdotes are not simply peppered in the show for fun. There is a woven narrative that has some semblance and cohesion, even if not much. What saves it is great casting and some solid performers.”

The review went on to highlight how the show avoids star-driven casting in favour of actors who truly fit their roles.

“Manish Chaudhari as Freddy, Bobby Deol as Ajay, and Raghav Juyal as the hero’s friend Parvaiz are perfectly cast. Their performances are also the best part of Ba***ds, elevating it from merely chuckleworthy to actually fun.”

The show is available to stream on Netflix after its release on September 18.

Zubeen Garg, Assamese Music Icon, Passes Away In Tragic Scuba Diving Accident

written by jummy84

Celebrated singer and Assamese cultural icon Zubeen Garg has passed away after a tragic scuba diving accident in Singapore. He was 52 years old. Reports indicate that local authorities pulled him out of the sea and immediately rushed him to a hospital, where they admitted him to the intensive care unit. Despite the medical team’s best efforts, they were unable to revive him.

​The news of his sudden demise left fans devastated and sent shockwaves through the Assamese community and the wider Indian music industry. Zubeen was in Singapore to participate in the North East Festival, where he was scheduled to perform. His death is being described as an irreparable loss not just to the world of music but also to the cultural identity of Assam, where he was considered a voice of the people.

​A Legacy That Transcended Music

​Over his decades-long career, Zubeen Garg recorded thousands of songs in multiple languages, including Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, and Tamil, showcasing an immense versatility that few could match. While many across India first recognized him for the haunting Bollywood track “Ya Ali” from the 2006 film Gangster, his artistic influence ran far deeper in his home state of Assam. There, he was a symbol of regional pride and a driving force behind promoting local music and cinema.

​His journey began in the early 1990s in Assam, where he quickly rose to prominence with his unique fusion of folk, rock, and classical music. His album Anamika became a monumental hit, catapulting him to stardom within the region. Zubeen was not just a singer; he was also a composer, lyricist, and producer. He composed music for more than 150 albums and films and directed several Assamese films, including the critically acclaimed Mon Jai. His ability to connect with the pulse of the youth made him an inspiration and a role model for a new generation of artists in the Northeast.

​Beyond his musical contributions, Zubeen Garg was an outspoken and active philanthropist. He used his platform to champion youth and social causes, often lending his voice to movements for regional rights and environmental protection. He was a unifying cultural figure whose songs captured both the joys and struggles of the Northeast, making him more than an entertainer; he was a cultural phenomenon. His artistry provided a soundtrack to the lives of millions, from the spirited celebrations of Bihu to the solemn calls for change. He fearlessly took on social issues, and his voice became a beacon of hope for many in the region.

​The Shock and Outpouring of Grief

​The news of Zubeen Garg’s tragic passing sent a ripple of disbelief and grief across the country. Fans flooded social media platforms with tributes, live concert clips, and personal anecdotes, expressing their sorrow. Colleagues, admirers, and political leaders from across the Northeast and beyond shared their condolences. They remembered him not just for his songs but for his unwavering commitment to his roots and his people.

​His death is a profound loss for the Assamese community, which had come to see him as a symbol of its modern identity. His music will continue to be a source of comfort and pride, but his physical presence, which represented a fusion of artistry and activism, will be deeply missed. As tributes continue to pour in, they paint a picture of a man who was a musical visionary and a true son of the soil. His legacy is etched not only in the thousands of songs he recorded but also in the hearts of a people who considered him their voice.

Kalki 2898 AD Sequel: 5 Actresses Who Could Replace Deepika Padukone Opposite Prabhas ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Fans of Bollywood star Deepika Padukone were left stunned yesterday when Vyjayanthi Movies announced that the actress will not return for the upcoming sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, the star-studded sci-fi epic directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan. The production house confirmed the news on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, sending shockwaves across social media.

This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD.

After careful consideration, We have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership.

And a film like…

— Vyjayanthi Movies (@VyjayanthiFilms) September 18, 2025

This development has taken movie buffs completely by surprise because Deepika Padukone’s role was pivotal to the original film. She portrayed a pregnant woman who was a key figure in the prophecy surrounding the arrival of Kalki in a dystopian future. Her character’s arc formed the emotional and narrative backbone of the story, making it hard to imagine the sequel without her

With the makers now moving ahead without the Piku actress, the big question is: which Bollywood star could step into her shoes in the highly anticipated sequel? We’ve put together a list of five potential actresses who could take on this challenging role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

1. Alia Bhatt

With a filmography spanning Highway, Udta Punjab, Raazi, Gully Boy, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and RRR, Alia Bhatt has established herself as one of the most versatile actresses in Indian cinema. Her experience also extends to action-driven roles in projects such as Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmāstra, the Hollywood spy thriller Heart of Stone, and, more recently, Jigra. Given her range and star power, Alia Bhatt could be a strong contender to take over Deepika Padukone’s pivotal role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

This is an Alia Bhatt x @netflix #HeartofStone appreciation post.

2. Kriti Sanon

Often regarded as one of the most underrated performers in Bollywood, Kriti Sanon has showcased her acting prowess in films such as Raabta, Bareilly Ki Barfi, and Mimi. While Adipurush received mixed reviews, her performance earned praise from many cinephiles. Kriti Sanon has also brushed against the sci-fi genre with last year’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. With her versatility and screen presence, she could be a fine choice to step into Deepika Padukone’s role in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel.

Kriti Sanon portrayed this scene soo beautifully man,still can’t get over it!🥺#KritiSanon | #Mimi | pic.twitter.com/Yp2C0gLeIh

3. Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Undoubtedly one of the finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has displayed her acting talents in several films like Aitraaz, Kaminey, Barfi!, 7 Khoon Maaf, and Dil Dhadakne Do. She has also been part of Hollywood projects like Baywatch, The Matrix Resurrections, Quantico, Citadel, and Heads of State. With a terrific screen presence and a global appeal, Priyanka Chopra could be a strong contender to replace Deepika Padukone in the Kalki sequel.

What a Stunning Wonder!

4. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

A global icon and former Miss World (1994), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has long been celebrated for her beauty, poise, and acting talent. Known for memorable performances in films like Guzaarish, Devdas, and Ponniyin Selvan, she would be a fascinating choice to portray Sumathi in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. Although older than Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai’s timeless charm and magnetic screen presence could add a new dimension to the role and make her an interesting casting choice.

Nandini in Ponniyin Selvan is #AishwaryaRaiBachchan‘s best performance. Agree or disagree 🤔 pic.twitter.com/9fOL7yWi8v

5. Triptii Dimri

Following Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, reports stated that Triptii Dimri had been roped in for the eagerly anticipated film. Known for her earnest performances in Bulbbul, Qala, and Animal, the actress most recently appeared in Dhadak 2. Although she is the least experienced star on this list, Triptii Dimri’s fresh screen presence and rising popularity make the idea of her appearing alongside Prabhas in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel an exciting possibility.

Imagine these two in a film together! 🔥🔥#DeepikaPadukone #TriptiiDimri pic.twitter.com/1Who6V5Q2t

Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl: When and where to watch?

by jummy84 September 19, 2025
written by jummy84

Taylor Swift is bringing her twelfth studio album to the big screen. The pop sensation’s new record, The Life of a Showgirl, drops on Friday, October 3, and she is marking the moment with a short-run film event. Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl will play in theaters nationwide the same day, giving fans just one weekend to catch it.

According to Harpers Bazaar, the limited engagement runs from October 3 through October 5. That is three days only – Friday through Sunday – before it disappears from theaters. Swift’s team is pitching it as part movie premiere, part album release, rolled into one experience.

Where to watch it?

AMC Theatres is at the center of the rollout. Swift already made history with them during last year’s Eras Tour concert film, and this marks the second collaboration between the star and the chain. AMC confirmed screenings will start right at showtime.

Tickets are already on sale through AMC’s website. Cinemark is also part of the launch, offering screenings in standard format as well as Cinemark XD. The XD upgrade means giant screens, wall-to-wall sound, and a more immersive setup. Both chains expect heavy demand given Swift’s past box office record.

What is inside the film

The main attraction is the world premiere of the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” the lead single from The Life of a Showgirl. Fans will also see behind-the-scenes footage from production, fresh lyric videos, and Swift’s personal reflections on different tracks from the album. The idea is to mix performance, process, and storytelling into one package, Harper’s Bazaar reported.

Why fans are paying attention

For Swifties, the appeal comes down to access. It is the very first look at visuals tied to the new album, all on a theater screen. Unlike The Eras Tour film, this isn’t a concert movie, but a one-off release party built for fans who want to be part of the launch weekend.

And right now, there is no streaming option on the table. If you want in, you will need a ticket and a seat at AMC or Cinemark during those three days. After October 5, it is gone.

At this point, Swift’s playbook is clear: make the album release itself into an event. And if past turnout is any clue, theaters will be packed.

FAQs:

When is Taylor Swift’s release party movie in theaters?

It runs from October 3 to October 5, 2025.

Where can I buy tickets?

Tickets are available through AMC and Cinemark’s official websites.

Will there be trailers before the movie?

No. AMC confirmed the event begins right at showtime.

Filmfare Flashback: When Sharmila Tagore Took Home The Black Lady for Her Role in Aradhana

by jummy84 September 19, 2025
written by jummy84

As Filmfare nears its 70th edition, we take head back to 1970, to the 17th Filmfare Awards. On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969. Among the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta.  
Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love.  
At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.  


Other highlights: Anokhi Raat won four Filmfare awards, including Best Screenplay and Best Dialogue. Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses.  

Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.

Geeta Basra Recalled Struggles of Facing Two Miscarriages And How Her Husband Supported Her Throughout

by jummy84 September 19, 2025
written by jummy84

Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and actress Geeta Basra, who tied the knot in 2015 and welcomed their daughter Hinaya in 2016, have always shared a beautiful family bond. However, Geeta recently opened up about a deeply personal struggle, revealing that she suffered two miscarriages after the birth of her daughter. In a candid conversation, Geeta discussed the emotional and physical toll these experiences took on her and how Harbhajan’s unwavering support helped her cope.

Geeta Basra

Geeta Basra On Facing Two Miscarriages

Geeta explained that she always dreamed of having two children and, given her smooth first pregnancy, never expected complications the second time around. “I tried twice and had two miscarriages. It was a very difficult time because you wonder, ‘I’m fit, I’m doing yoga, I’m eating right, so what could be wrong? Why wasn’t I able to carry a baby?’” she shared.

The actress admitted she was shocked by the losses, recalling how easy her first pregnancy had been. “When I got pregnant three years later and had a miscarriage, I didn’t expect it at all. I thought it would be as smooth as it was with Hinaya.” Despite the heartbreak, Geeta emphasized the importance of mental strength to overcome such pain. She credited Harbhajan for standing by her side like a pillar of strength.

Geeta Basra

“When I had my first miscarriage, he was in Punjab but came the next day. I had to undergo a minor operation at the hospital, and he was there with me through it all,” she revealed, calling him an incredibly supportive and emotional partner. In a lighter moment, Geeta also reflected on her love story with Harbhajan, sharing in an earlier Bharti TV interview that it all began when Harbhajan saw her poster and instantly fell for her. “It was love at first sight for him,” she said with a smile, adding that Harbhajan even asked his close friend Yuvraj Singh for her number.

When Rakesh Roshan Expressed His Displeasure Over Shah Rukh Khan Clashing His Raees With Kaabil
Bollywood

I Also Told Him Hrithik Roshan Is Not Your Contemporary

When Rakesh Roshan Expressed His Displeasure Over Shah Rukh Khan Clashing His Raees With Kaabil (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Box office clashes have always been a topic of interest, and in the past, we have seen enough occasions where the battle turned ugly. One such clash was between Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil. Over this high-voltage clash, Rakesh Roshan slammed SRK for being ‘unethical’ and damaging the potential of both biggies for no reason. Keep reading to know more!

For those who don’t know, Shah Rukh Khan and Rakesh Roshan share a good bond, and we all know how close friends Khan and Hrithik Roshan are. However, back in 2017, the box office clash affected Khan’s relationship with senior Roshan. In fact, Roshan went all out, saying how Khan didn’t do the right thing, as the decision not to back down from the clash would impact the box office of both films.

What Did Rakesh Roshan Say About Kaabil Vs Raees Box Office Clash?

While talking to Indian Express, Rakesh Roshan shared that after a lot of brainstorming, he decided to shift his Kaabil to January 2017 as he got a clean slate to release his film. As a lot of films were arriving in October, November, and December of 2016, the veteran filmmaker and producer moved his film ahead as he thought clashing his film with other films wasn’t a good practice.

To Rakesh Roshan’s surprise, just after Kaabil was announced for January release, he learned that Shah Rukh Khan was coming with his Raees, and that too on the same date. Talking further, Roshan said, “I met Shah Rukh Khan and explained it to him that there is a well and we both are jumping into it. Because there is a box-office limitation of not crossing 300 crore, either you will be at 170 crore and I at 130 crore or vice versa. I also told him Hrithik is not your contemporary. Your contemporaries are Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, who have already crossed 300 crore. So it is better that we don’t clash and you choose some other date.”

As Shah Rukh Khan didn’t back down from a clash, Rakesh Roshan went on to call this clash ‘unethical.’ Meanwhile, both Raees and Kaabil were box office winners. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer did a business of 139.21 crores in India, Hrithik Roshan’s film had earned 126.85 crores despite a clash.

What Next For Rakesh Roshan? 

Roshan is currently preparing for Krrish 4. While he would not be returning to the director’s chair, the filmmaker alongside Aditya Chopra would be guiding Hrithik Roshan, who will himself direct the film while starring in the titular role.

What Next For Shah Rukh Khan? 

The superstar is set to appear next on King, one of the most-awaited upcoming Bollywood movies. While not much has been revealed about the film, it is shaping up to be a star-studded mega project, directed by Siddharth Anand.

EXCLUSIVE: Shakti Kapoor Was Not The Original Choice To Play Crime Master Gogo In Andaz Apna Apna; Tinnu Anand Reveals Being Offered The Role FIRST

by jummy84 September 19, 2025
written by jummy84

Tinnu Anand was originally cast as the iconic character Crime Master Gogo in Andaz Apna Apna; however, Shakti Kapoor later replaced him. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, the filmmaker and actor revealed he was supposed to play the role in the Aamir-Salman starrer. Tinnu recalled the time when Shakti Kapoor yelled at his fans, asking for a selfie. Scroll down to read below and watch the full interview.

Tinnu Anand Reveals Shakti Kapoor’s Crime Master Gogo Was Actually Supposed To Be Him

Speaking of Shakti Kapoor’s infamous Crime Master Gogo from Andaz Apna Apna, Tinnu Anand revealed an interesting story. He shared, “Crime Master Gogo ka character bhi mera hi tha. Log nahi jaante, kyunki Raj aur meri bahut dosti ho gayi thi. Damini ki hai humne, Ghatak ki hai. Ab Crime Master Gogo ka sawaal aaya ji, toh Raj ji ne mere ko kaha, ‘Tinnu, ek role hai. Kuch clear cut nahi aa raha hai, lekin uska naam Crime Master Gogo hai.’ Maine kaha, ‘Raj, mere upar wale maale pe ek Sardar ki family rehti hai.”

He added, “Unki ek beti hai, bachchi hai, lekin itni confident ladki hai yaar. Ghanti maaregi, mere sofa pe aake baith jaayegi. Paon ke upar paon rakh degi. Maid ko bulaayegi—‘Ek Coke la dena.’ Piye gi, rakh degi. Main wahin khada hota hoon. Kabhi thank you bolke chali jaati hai, kabhi bina thank you bole hi nikal jaati hai.’ Yeh roz hota tha.”

Tinnu Anand On His Experiment

He continued, “Maine ek experiment try kiya. Aaj subah jab woh aayi, aise baithi, main apne bedroom mein tha. Bedroom se bahar aaya toh maine dekha—’Kaise ho?’ toh she said, ‘Fine.’ Abhi Gokula aaya nahi tha, usne peeche mud ke dekha, ‘Kya hua Gokula ko?’ Maine kaha, ‘Aa raha hai, aa raha hai.’ Aur phir maine usko aise dekha—uski aankhon mein aankhen daal ke. Aap bhi try kijiye kabhi. Blink mat kijiye. Aapko lagega kuch gadbad hai. Dekhiye—blink kiya na? Fir main bola, ‘Kya dekh rahi hai? Yeh jo teri moti moti aankhen hain na, woh main hathheli pe rakhunga, nikaal ke, aur uske saamne goti khelunga.’”

The filmmaker added, “Uska expression kabhi dekha hi nahi tha maine. Aise (the child got scared)karke bhaagi, upar jaake ro rahi thi. Maa ne kabhi nahi dekha tha usko roते hue. Very proud parents—kyunki bachchi roti nahi thi. Aur aaj aise ro rahi thi ki bolo mat. Aur aise hi character build hua tha set pe. Aamir Khan kehta tha, ‘Woh do din jo humne enjoy kiye aapke saath, kaam kam ho raha tha, hansi zyada nikal rahi thi.’ Dono ke saath jo main kar raha tha, sab improvise tha.”

Tinnu Anand Recalls Shakti Kapoor Yelling At Fans

Tinnu Anand recalled how Shakti Kapoor recently yelled at fans. He shared, “Shakti aur main recently airport pe the. Kyunki hamara plane delayed tha, toh humne kaha chalo coffee pee lete hain. Café mein gaye. Café mein itne mein teen—do ladke, ek ladki—aaye hamare table par, aur bole, ‘Sir, sir, selfie, selfie!’ Shakti Kapoor unpe chillaa diye, ‘You people are college students, don’t you know manners? We are talking to each other, guftagu kar rahe the. We were talking about something, and you came and interrupted us. When we finish, you stand there, I will give it to you!’”

He concluded, “I was shocked. Toh maine kaha, ‘Shakti, tere ko apne din yaad hain? Jab tu struggling tha, tu struggling only for this, right? Ki log aayenge, selfie–autograph lenge, photograph lenge, ladkiyan aayengi. Aaj jab aa rahe hain tere se maangne, tu rude kyon ho raha hai yaar? Bas zara wait kar lijiye. Do tareeke hote hain baat karne ke.’ He said, ‘Sorry sir.’ He called them and said, ‘Come, take, take a selfie.’”

Tinnu Anand was recently seen in Good Bad Ugly, Crazxy and Dil Dosti Aur Dogs. All these films were released in 2025.
