In 2008, filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor directed Rock On!!, a musical drama that continues to be celebrated for its songs, feels, and deep characters. Having received critical acclaim, the film celebrates its 17th anniversary today, and Kapoor marks this occasion by talking about his directorial journey and how the audiences continue to connect with it even after 17 years.

Abhishek Kapoor Talks About Directing The Cult Classic

Celebrating 17 years of the cult classic, Abhishek Kapoor says, “I can’t believe Rock On!! has come 17 years far! Time truly flies so fast! It’s incredible, and the fact that the viewers continue to return to it to relive its freshness is an achievement in itself. The joy of creating this film, directing it and bringing together some of the most talented actors and crew was magical. Rock On!! is a multi-character film, and I’m glad it all came together at the end.”

Filmmakers create films for the box office, audience and more, but what makes Abhishek Kapoor a standout creator is that he makes films for himself. He creates films that could leave an impression. By touching the nooks and corners of emotions, friendships, passion, talent and self-discovery, Abhishek Kapoor curates spectacles that stay, with emotions that linger and a message that remains long after the credits roll!

Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Luke Kenny and others came together to blend the music of life into the fabric of a film. Being at the receiving end of critical acclaim, Rock On!! proved to be the perfect litmus test to showcase Bollywood’s maturity. In 2010, Rock On!! was honoured with two National Film Awards, including Best Feature Film in Hindi and Best Supporting Actor (Arjun Rampal).

Amitabh Bachchan and Alia Bhatt dance with Sreeleela, Farah Khan and Dilip give commentary in Om Shanti Om-style ad | Bollywood

Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt and Farah Khan, among others, came together for a star-studded advertisement for e-commerce platform Flipkart. The new campaign has given fans Om Shanti Om vibes, and for all the right reasons.

Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Farah Khan and Sreeleela come together for an advertisement.

Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Farah Khan unite for an advertisement

On Saturday, the platform shared the video of its Big Billion Days (BBD) 2025 campaign, and it is nothing short of a spectacle. Flipkart has onboarded 11 celebrities for the ad, making it one of the most star-studded advertisements in recent memory.

The ad begins with child actor and influencer Arista Mehta sitting in her office and unveiling the products she bought in the Big Billion Days sale. She then attends a glittering event with her friends, where she enjoys VVIP access. Hiding from paparazzi cameras, she steps into a lift where Alia Bhatt, dressed in a black outfit, is already present. Alia notices that Arista’s phone cover matches her own. Moments later, Amitabh Bachchan enters the lift — also carrying the same phone cover. Spotting the coincidence, Arista quips, “AB, AB – 2AB,” leaving both Alia and Big B in splits.

The trio then heads into a lavish party hall, where “actor ka baap” (father of an actor), filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, welcomes them warmly. Inside, Jannat Zubair and Sakshi Shivdasani are seen speculating whether Arista is a star kid. Later, comedian Bassi is shown serving food, while Arista stumbles upon Yashraj Mukhate DJing as actress Sreeleela dances to his beats. Arista joins in with a few dance steps, prompting everyone — including Amitabh and Alia — to follow along. At this point, Farah Khan quips, “Is this a party or a dance competition?” To which Dilip replies, “Whatever it is, you can come to Mumbai.” The ad ends with Alia taking Arista away in her luxury car.

Fans were thrilled to see so many stars together. Comments poured in: “Pure madness. Too good, guys,” wrote one. Another said, “Such a good concept.” One comment read, “This ad stole my heart. AB plus AB (fire emoji).” Another noted, “Love when brands forget about budgets.” A fan even asked, “Iss ad ka budget kya hoga? (What must the budget of this ad be?)” while one called it, “Flipkart ad (cross sign) Om Shanti Om part 2.”

The ad reminded fans of the iconic Deewangi Deewangi song from Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om (2007), which featured Bollywood stalwarts including Dharmendra, Salman Khan, Juhi Chawla, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, and others dancing alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Sreeleela’s upcoming films

Amitabh is currently busy shooting for his game show Kaun Banega Crorepati season 17. He is expected to begin the shoot for Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD sequel in December, which also stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan in lead roles.

Alia, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of her YRF spy universe film, Alpha which also stars Sharvari and Bobby Deol in lead roles and is scheduled to release in theatres on December 25. Sreeleela is all set to make her Bollywood debut alongside Kartik Aaryan in Anurag Basu’s yet-untitled romantic musical drama.

Param Sundari Box Office: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s Movie Settles for a Decent Opening

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Param Sundari earned around Rs 7.25 crores on its first day at the box office. The worldwide collection for the movie is Rs 10 crores. The overseas collection for the first day is Rs 1.30 crores while India gross collection stands at Rs 8.70 crores.

Interestingly, the movie had an overall 12.92% Hindi occupancy on August 29, 2025. The morning shows saw an occupancy of 8.19% while the afternoon shows saw an overall occupancy of 11.45%. The evening and the night shows were at an occupancy of 12.27% and 19.77% respectively.

Mumbai saw a footfall of 12.25% at the theatres while Delhi was at 13.00%. Bengaluru was at an occupancy of 24.50% while Hyderabad saw a footfall of 21.75%.

While these are initial reports, the movie has received rave public reviews on social media platforms. Many also criticised the movie for its dialogues and over plot setup. One user wrote, “#ParamSundari tries to be a fun ride, but ends up pretty flat. The writing stays on a very basic level with only a handful of jokes actually landing. Sid & Jhanvi are decent, the music lifts the mood but beyond that it feels too simple and at times even overboard.”

Param Sundari

 

Filmfare’s reviewer gave the movie 3 stars. He noted, “Param Sundari serves as a reminder of how romance once formed the beating heart of Bollywood storytelling and why its decline has left a void. Like forgetting how to measure rice and dal when it’s no longer cooked, the genre seems to have lost its proportions. While it pokes light-hearted fun at the conventions of romance as shown in our films, we’re sure Tushar Jalota’s intention wasn’t to make a satire. The film’s trailer got sharp reactions from viewers in Kerala, who felt that the film’s depiction of Malayali culture was outdated and steeped in stereotypes. Let’s hope they’re more forgiving of the complete film.”

The leading cast of the movie comprises Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra. The ensemble cast comprises Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Manjot Singh and Abhishek Banerjee.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 Crew Member Assaulted; Accused Arrested By Police | Glamsham.com

The shoot of highly awaited movie Pati Patni Aur Woh 2, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, and Wamiqa Gabbi, came to a dramatic halt when there was a violent scuffle on the set. A member of the crew was said to have been attacked by locals while shooting in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, prompting police action and the arrest of the prime accused.

The attack occurred on August 27 when the team was shooting a car scene on Thornhill Road in Prayagraj. The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (City) Abhijeet Kumar stated that a team of locals brutally assaulted Zoheb Solapurwala, production head of BR Chopra Films. This attack spiraled out of control as crew members were physically attacked by a group of people.

An FIR was registered on the next day, August 28, at Civil Lines Police Station following a complaint lodged by BR Chopra Films’ line producer Saurabh Tiwari. The accused, whose name is Meraj Ali, was arrested subsequently, police confirmed.

Viral Videos Capture Chaos on Set

Footage of the scuffle promptly went viral on social media, with two men seen confronting a member of the crew in the middle of a shoot. The exchange remained verbal at first, but soon got out of hand as locals joined in, physically assaulting members of the film crew.

A few onlookers tried to calm the situation, but the fight had already resulted in damage, physical and to the morale of the crew. The producers of Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 as of yet have not issued a statement concerning the incident.

About the Film: A Comic Sequel with a New Cast

Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 is a sequel to the 2019 romantic comedy, where Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday play the lead. The sequel introduces a new set — Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, and Wamiqa Gabbi — of actors. The movie will have Mudassar Aziz behind the camera and has promised a fresh take on the love triangle with established comic actors.

As per the previous reports, the makers were interested in getting new jodis with good comic chemistry. Sara was onboard the moment she heard the script, according to a source, who described it as the perfect script for her.

In spite of the disruption on the set, the shoot of the film is likely to proceed under heightened security.

Daisy Shah Clarifies Her Remarks On Kannada Industry After Reports Misquote The Actress

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actress Daisy Shah has responded strongly after a small part of her recent interview was blown out of proportion by media outlets. In a chat with a media house, Daisy recalled her early days while working on a Kannada film. She mentioned that during her free time she watched TV and noticed song sequences where unusual props like fruits, vegetables, ice, or water were used on the heroine’s navel.

She spoke about this as a light-hearted observation without naming any actor or film. However, parts of Daisy Shah’s statement were picked up in isolation, leading to sensational headlines that suggested she was criticising the Kannada industry as a whole. Clarifying her stand, Daisy posted a note on Instagram stories. “And yet again a small conversation has been blown out of proportion… I have worked in Kannada Industry before and Sandalwood has been very kind to me,” she wrote.

She further urged people to watch her full interview before drawing conclusions. “Randomly watching few songs on a TV channel then and me talking about it doesn’t give you the right to generalise it for the entire Industry,” she added. Addressing media houses directly, Daisy said, “Please stop making false narratives and making headlines just to gain views on your page. Please keep it Organic most importantly keep it REAL.”

Her clarification makes it clear that she continues to hold respect for Sandalwood and the people she has worked with. The incident also reflects a larger issue faced by many celebrities — where selective quotes are often turned into misleading narratives. By calmly explaining her side, Daisy has ensured that her true feelings for the industry remain transparent: one of gratitude and respect.

Zeenat Aman says she once didn’t recognise Sabyasachi Mukherjee: I spluttered an apology | Bollywood

New Delhi, Legendary actor Zeenat Aman, who often shares anecdotes from her life on social media, recalled the time she failed to recognise a renowned designer, Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

Zeenat Aman says she once didn’t recognise Sabyasachi Mukherjee: I spluttered an apology

Sabyasachi is known to be among the top choices of the biggest Bollywood celebrities. Earlier this year, he also designed for Shah Rukh Khan for his debut at the Met Gala.

Zeenat shared pictures of herself on her Instagram handle on Friday as she posed wearing a red top from the celebrity designer. The 73-year-old actor penned a lengthy caption along, explaining the incident, which happened in 2022.

In her post, she recounted it was the birthday of her son, musician Zahaan Khan, when she ended up using the same elevator as the designer, who also expressed his admiration for the veteran actor.

“As we turned a corner towards the elevator, we could see its doors beginning to close. Just then, an elegant hand shot out, and the doors parted open smoothly for us. In the elevator carriage were two gentlemen, both immaculately coiffed and dressed. One was a bearded Indian man, and the other I suspect, was of caucasian descent. I smiled my thanks as we entered, and observed from their body language that they had recognised me,” the post began.

“Cara jabbed the button for the lobby, and the bearded man spoke. ‘Ma’am, I’m a big fan of yours, it’s an honour to meet you. I just want to say you have inspired me since I was a boy.’ I thanked him for his generous words and he explained to me that he was a designer.”

The “Don” recalled asking the name of the designer, on hearing which she apologised.

“As the elevator dinged to a halt, I asked him: ‘What is your name?’ Sabyasachi, he said with a demure smile, politely taking my hand as I spluttered an apology for not recognising him. The two men walked away, and Cara and I looked at each other before bursting into laughter at my gaffe.”

Zeenat will next star in “Bun Tikki”, alongside Shabana Azmi and Abhay Deol. The film is directed by Faraz Arif Ansari of “Sheer Qorma” fame. It is produced under Jio Studios and celebrated fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s banner, Stage 5 Production.

He shared being bothered by severely traumatic scenes but had to learn a way to deal with his emotions.

Bhojpuri Star Pawan Singh Criticised For Inappropriately Touching Co-star Anjali Raghav On Stage: ‘So Sickening’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

During a promotional event for his newly released song Saiya Seva Kare, Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, known for Lagavelu Lipstick, drew criticism on social media after allegedly touching co-star Anjali Raghav inappropriately on stage. In a video from the event, Pawan and Anjali are seen standing side by side, with Anjali dressed in a shimmering golden saree as she addresses the audience.

Pawan Singh Faces Allegations of Misconduct Involving Anjali Raghav

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Pawan and Anjali were seen standing together on stage. Anjali, dressed in a sparkling golden saree, addressed the audience, while Pawan, clad in a white coat and trousers, stood beside her. As she engaged with the crowd, Pawan gently placed his hand on her waist. At first, she smiled and carried on speaking.

Pawan once again placed his hand on her waist, making her visibly uncomfortable. He asked her to move her hand, but she refused. Still, Pawan continued touching her waist. After a while, he said: “Okay,” and removed his hand from her waist.

Internet Erupts Over Viral Video

A user, after watching the video, said: “How sickening to touch a woman inappropriately. He doesn’t even back down. Sicko!” “Pawan Singh keeps crossing the line. Remember when actress Akshara Singh made serious allegations against him? He has a pattern. And yes, the woman here should also have spoken up,” an X user wrote.

“What a disgusting and vile person he is! He did not even feel ashamed in front of so much public while doing such a despicable act. Aren’t you ashamed, @PawanSingh909? Anjali Raghav, feeling so uncomfortable, yet she is not slapping on the stage,” tweeted another social media user. “People like Pawan Singh defame the entire Bhojpuri community. They are unaware of how many young people influenced by them are going down the wrong path. It is a matter of shame,” tweeted another person.

Pawan’s past controversies

This is not the first time Pawan has found himself in the midst of controversy. A few years back, he faced charges for allegedly defaming actor Akshara Singh and sharing ‘vulgar’ photos and videos of her online. Reports indicate that an FIR was filed in connection with the case.

According to a DNA report, she chose to end their friendship after his marriage in March 2018. However, he was unwilling to let go and allegedly pressured her to maintain contact. Akshara further claimed that he threatened to ruin her career in the industry, and even went as far as allegedly threatening to kill her.

About Pawan’s career

Pawan is best known for his work in films like Pratigya (2008), Satya (2017), Crack Fighter (2019), Raja (2019), Sher Singh (2019), Mera Bharat Mahaan (2022), Har Har Gange (2023), among others. He also lent his voice to the song Aayi Nai from Stree 2.

The adrenaline-packed universe of the Baaghi franchise is back in a big way with Baaghi 4, which is gearing up for its highly-awaited release. The fourth part of Sajid Nadiadwala’s blockbuster action series is promised to be four times more intense, gory, and filled with raw, high-octane action. And in an first-of-its-kind promotional strategy, the trailer of Baaghi 4 will be released only on the sets of Bigg Boss before going digital.

Salman Khan to Release the Trailer on Bigg Boss Stage

As per insiders from the production, the trailer for Baaghi 4 will be unveiled with Salman Khan present in person on August 29th during the filming of an upcoming Bigg Boss episode. Tiger Shroff, who is reprising his legendary role as the renegade rebel, will be accompanied by co-stars Harnaaz Sandhu and Sonam Bajwa for the big premiere. The trailer will subsequently be released digitally to the masses on August 30th.

This special promotional drive is bound to create huge buzz, with the fans waiting with bated breath to catch the high-octane peek into what’s in store. The private trailer release within the Bigg Boss house is also a tribute to Salman Khan’s long history with the show as well as the Bollywood world.

A Darker Turn: Baaghi 4 Gets A Rating

Baaghi 4 marks a significant shift for Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment as it becomes the production house’s first-ever A-rated (Adults Only) film. With bone-breaking stunts, gritty violence, and high-stakes drama, the film embraces a darker, more intense tone than its predecessors.

The screenplay and the story are created by Sajid Nadiadwala himself, which guarantees an engaging tale infused with emotion and action-packed explosions. Directed by A. Harsha, the film delves into the depths of revolt, betrayal, and survival among the blood and rage surrounding the world.

Baaghi 4 Hits Theatres on September 5

Scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, Baaghi 4 is bound to be a huge crowd-puller, particularly among action fans. With Tiger Shroff leading the pack and new cast members joining the fray, the film is likely to be one of the biggest action spectacles of the year.
