Veteran actor Pankaj Dheer, renowned for his role as Karna in BR Chopra’s Mahabharat, passed away on October 15 after a long battle with cancer. His former co-stars Karan Tacker, Vatsal Sheth, Ishita Dutta, Arjun Feroze Khan, and Tanuj Virwani have expressed their heartfelt tributes, remembering him as a joyful and kind-hearted person.

Ishita Dutta, Vatsal Sheth, Karan Tacker And Others Pay Their Last Respects To Pankaj Dheer

As reported by Hindustan Times, the co-stars of the late actor have paid their last tributes.

Arjun Firoz Khan

Arjun Firoz Khan shared, “He was one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever worked with in Mahabharat, and truly a remarkable human being. He will be deeply missed. We were school contemporaries—though in different schools, we used to play cricket together. Pankaj had an infectious smile that made everyone around him feel happy and at ease.”

Karan Tacker

Karan Tacker recalled, “Pankaj ji was the first senior actor I had the privilege to work with in Rang Badalti Odhani. He treated me like a son, with so much kindness and affection. His passing was a shock, but he will always be remembered with love and respect. My deepest condolences to his family.”

Ishita Dutta

Ishita Dutta shared her feelings, “Hearing the news gave me goosebumps. Working with him was a privilege. He used to bring sandwiches from home just for me and would always save some home-cooked food for me. Everyone who worked with him knew what an incredible person he was. Sadly, I only met him once after the show, and it reminds us how short life is. My prayers are with his family.”

Vatsal Sheth

Vatsal Sheth expressed his sorrow, “It’s very shocking and sad. I had the honour of working with him in my first film, Tarzan and on a show with Ishita. We spent a lot of time together in Goa, where he always made sure everyone was comfortable. He would bring buttermilk for the team every day, even in the heat.”

Tanuj Virwani

Tanuj Virwani reflected, “I worked with him on Poison in 2019. Though we only shared two days on set, he was a wonderful, sporting co-star. He knew my mother, Rati Agnihotri, and was very courteous to me. He would rehearse lines with me before scenes. I’m saddened by his passing, especially since I grew up watching him. I had no idea he was battling cancer, and his loss is a big blow to the industry.”

Beyond his legendary role in Mahabharat, Pankaj Dheer appeared in popular TV series like Chandrakanta, The Great Maratha, Kanoon, and Sasural Simar Ka. His notable films include Saugandh (1991), Sadak (1991), Baadshah (1999), Soldier (1998), and Tarzan: The Wonder Car (2004). His last rites will be performed at Pawan Hans crematorium in Mumbai’s Santacruz at 4 PM today.

Akshay Kumar Takes A Dig At Lakshya Signing 3 Films With Karan Johar

Akshay Kumar Advices Newcomers To Stay Away From 3 Films Deals; Tells Karan Johar

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Akshay Kumar shared his insights on the challenges faced by newcomers in the film industry, particularly warning against signing three-film contracts early in their careers. He praised Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, for humorously highlighting these issues and bringing attention to the pitfalls that rookies should avoid.

Akshay Kumar Warns Newcomers Not To Sign 3 Films With One Producer

During his candid remarks, Akshay advised aspiring actors to be cautious and not to rush into long-term deals with producers. He specifically emphasised that new actors should steer clear of signing three-film contracts at the outset, as such commitments can sometimes backfire.

Referring to Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Akshay stated, “I want to tell all the newcomers and upcoming talents—never sign a three-film deal with any producer.” He continued, “You must have seen The Ba*ds of Bollywood and seen what our hero had to go through. The film clearly shows what a debutant should and shouldn’t do.”

Turning his advice toward Karan Johar, Akshay added, “Don’t sign a three-movie deal. Give your debutants the freedom to explore. Let them run away if they want to. As the saying goes, ‘Let them be free, and if they belong to you, they will come back.’”

About Ba***ds Of Bollywood

Aryan Khan makes his directorial debut with The Ba***ds of Bollywood on Netflix. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, the series features an ensemble cast including Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Lakshya Lalwani, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, and Manish Chaudhari. Premiering on September 18, 2025, the seven-episode series has been praised for its performances, writing, and direction.

Neeraj Ghaywan breaks silence on Karan Johar's being trolled on remarks for Homebound

‘Disturbed’ Neeraj Ghaywan Breaks Silence On Karan Johar Being Trolled For Homebound Remarks

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Neeraj Ghaywan clarified that Karan Johar’s remarks about Homebound were taken out of context and expressed disappointment over the criticism he received for his comments. The filmmaker publicly supported Karan Johar after the latter faced backlash for his recent statements. Earlier this month, Karan mentioned that he now evaluates profitability with every project and questioned whether a film like Homebound could be made again. His comments sparked criticism online, with many accusing him of prioritising commercial interests over artistic integrity.

In an interview with Lallantop Cinema, Neeraj Ghaywan defended Karan, explaining the true intent behind his words. He conveyed his disappointment over the reactions to Karan’s remarks. Ghaywan said, “He has such a big production banner and is such a prominent producer that he doesn’t need to support a film like this for commercial reasons. He was fully aware that the film wouldn’t be a blockbuster or generate profits. But the emotional depth of the story moved him, and that’s why he chose to back it. He has always said he just wanted to be part of it in some way. Seeing people question his honesty and cast doubt on his intentions really hurts.”

He added, “Misquoting or misrepresenting what he said can completely demoralise him. It undermines his contribution to the film. I’m very disturbed by all this. It’s a significant moment — a major banner like his deciding to produce such a sensitive film with an independent filmmaker. We should be encouraging more such collaborations. Instead, if we react negatively, it will discourage future projects like this. I urge everyone to understand that his comments have been taken out of context.”

Neeraj further clarified that Karan’s remarks were purely from a business standpoint and that he never said he wouldn’t produce a film like Homebound again. He also credited Karan for giving him complete creative freedom during the film’s making.

What Karan Johar Said?

In a recent interview with Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel Game Changers, Karan Johar discussed his partnership with Adar Poonawalla. He said, “Now, you have to take every decision with profitability. It is very important to be profitable. We are a commercial enterprise. I made Homebound, which was critically acclaimed worldwide, but I can’t say if I’ll take such decisions in the future or not. I might feel upset, but I chose this project for a reason — growth. Growth comes from profit, and profit comes from profitability. I will always be artistic, but it’s essential to be commercial as well.”

‘Upset’ Karan Johar Says He Is Now Accountable For Profits, Might Not Make Films Like ‘Homebound’ Again

His comments drew criticism on social media. In response, on October 10, Karan shared an Instagram note urging people not to “misconstrue or misquote” his words. He wrote, “It was an academic conversation about the business of our films… I am and will always be exceptionally proud of Homebound. It will always hold a special place in our filmography as one of our finest and most sensitively directed works.”

About Homebound

Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Homebound premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, where it received a nine-minute standing ovation. The film stars Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa in leading roles and was released in theatres on September 26, 2025. Despite positive critical reviews, the film underperformed at the box office, earning only Rs 2.65 crore worldwide.

Set in a small village in North India, Homebound tells the story of childhood friends aspiring to clear the police exam and escape poverty. The film has been selected as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars in the Best International Feature Film category.

Shah Rukh Khan takes a jab at Karan Johar, asks ‘Are you running for ‘Ozempic’? Filmmaker has the perfect comeback

by jummy84
written by jummy84

At a recent award night held in Ahmedabad, a light-hearted moment on stage stirred more than just laughter when Shah Rukh Khan made a cheeky remark at co-host Karan Johar. During the event, SRK made comments on Karan’s transformed physique, hinting at his significant weight loss, and jokingly mentioned the popular weight loss drug ‘Ozempic’, to which KJo had the perfect comeback.

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar

The filmmaker took a sly shot in return, weaving in the name ‘Wankhede’, a clear reference to the controversy surrounding Sameer Wankhede, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) official who has been in the media spotlight due to a recent lawsuit against SRK’s son Aryan Khan’s show The Ba***ds Of Bollywood.

SRK was seen asking Karan, “Bahaut alag lag rahe ho,” to which Karan responded with, “Zyada exercise karne laga hoon aajkal.” SRK then asked, “Oh, you’re working out, are you planning to go for Ozempic?” instantly correcting himself, “Ahh Olympics”, leaving Karan speechless.

Karan, known for his witty comebacks, said, “Haan, Wankhede mein hai Olympics. Aaoge?” In interviews following his weight loss, KJo has consistently pushed back against rumours that he used Ozempic or similar medications, attributing his transformation to health, medical adjustments, and lifestyle discipline. He has said, “That’s a lot of work, and it’s not medication like the rumor suggests” and emphasized his commitment to being “healthy, eating well, and exercising.”

The 70th Filmfare award moment showcased the two’s witty way of reacting to the news around them.

Box Office ‘Self-Booking’ Is Defaming Industry: Karan Johar Slams Producers, Star Entourages

Box Office ‘Self-Booking’ Is Defaming Industry: Karan Johar Slams Producers, Star Entourages

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Veteran filmmaker Karan Johar, who recently partnered with Adar Poonawalla by selling a 50% stake in Dharma Productions, has never been one to shy away from candid discussions about the inner workings of the film industry. In a recent conversation on the show Game Changers, Johar spoke frankly about two major, interconnected issues plaguing Bollywood’s economics and ethics: the rising practice of manipulating box office figures through “corporate bookings” and the inflating costs associated with large star entourages.

​The Problem of ‘Self-Booking’

​The term “corporate bookings,” referring to producers allegedly buying large blocks of tickets for their own films to inflate opening weekend numbers, has become a troubling staple in recent industry discourse. Johar didn’t mince words when addressing this practice, preferring to call it “self-booking.”

​While he adopts a mock-indifferent tone toward the individuals engaging in it, his underlying concern for the industry’s integrity is palpable. “Everybody does what they have to. If I decide to give myself ₹1 crore, and then I celebrate, have a party at night that I have earned ₹1 crore. Am I a fool, or am I an intelligent man? I leave that for you to decide,” he commented. He added that if a producer is happy spending their own money to achieve a temporary high or a social media post, they should proceed. “You are spending on yourself, so why should anyone judge you for spending your own money?”

​However, Johar stressed that this tactic fundamentally harms the entire ecosystem. He believes the industry itself is “defaming itself” by peddling these fabricated figures. The key distinction, he argued, is that the audience cares only about the quality of the film, not whether the box office success is “corporate or desperate.”

​He acknowledged that “self-booking” can sometimes offer a much-needed “kickstart energy” to a movie. He even suggested that what is now unethical manipulation might someday evolve into an accepted promotional tactic. Yet, he concluded with a timeless truth: “If the film has to work it will work. That is the bottom line, if it’s good, it will anyway work.”

​Johar also questioned the logical sustainability of these costly manoeuvres. “How much will you do, after all? I can’t do it for every day. Can do it say for weekend, then for the first Monday… But at some point I’ll run out. I have to stop. If the film doesn’t have legs, it’s going to fail anyway.”

​The Ethical Problem of Star Entourages

​Shifting focus, Karan Johar tackled another growing financial drain: the exponential costs associated with large star entourages. While he admitted that these expenses are a relatively small part of a colossal film budget, he views the issue as an ethical problem rather than a financial one.

​He pointed to exorbitant charges for hair and makeup artists, joking that he’d prefer his own children, Roohi and Yash, take up the profession because “they are making more money than a lot of other people.”

​Johar outlined his stance on what producers should and shouldn’t cover. “I have an ethical problem with entourages, not a financial one. We set a fixed budget for such needs,” he explained. He asserted that actors should pay for anything beyond that fixed amount, such as personal trainers or specific dietary requirements, unless it is a necessary part of the film’s creative demand, like a sports drama requiring a specific physique. For a “regular hero,” Johar stated, their job is to look good and fit, and they should personally manage the associated costs of healthy living.

​The Call for Producer Unity and Actor Grace

​When questioned about how producers are attempting to curb these rising costs, Johar admitted that a lack of unity is their greatest challenge. “The producers are not united. We often discuss these matters, but no one follows through.”

​However, he shared a sign of change, noting that the industry is now pushing back by capping budgets for necessities like hair and makeup. “We tell them upfront this is all we can offer. If you want anything extra, please handle it yourself.” He showed respect for the many actors who are now paying for their own additional hair and makeup.

​His final appeal was to the actors, urging them to show some restraint and gratitude. “My problem is with actors who are getting mammoth payments and still expect the producers to pay for their basic needs. Show some grace.” He expressed bewilderment that these “small issues” often become points of contention, especially questioning the necessity for some actors to travel with a massive entourage of six to eight people.

​Johar’s dual concerns highlight the precarious balance of Bollywood economics, a challenge he is currently navigating. While a recent production of his, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, struggled at the box office, another Dharma production, the critically acclaimed Homebound directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, has earned widespread praise and was selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars this year. His comments serve as a clear call to action for the industry to prioritize ethical filmmaking and long-term credibility over short-term vanity metrics.

When Karan Johar Opened Up About His Lifelong Battle With Body Dysmorphia: “Mujhe Ghinn Aati Hai…”

written by jummy84

Here's What Karan Johar Once Revealed About His Struggle With Body Dysmorphia
 Karan Johar Once Opened Up About His Body Dysmorphia(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Karan Johar is undoubtedly one of the most renowned filmmakers in Indian cinema, known for films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, among others. He spent more than three decades in the industry and recently made news for winning his first National Award for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

While Karan has long established himself as one of the most popular faces in showbiz, his life beyond the glitz and glamour of B-town has not always been easy. Many may not know, but the director has suffered from body dysmorphia disorder (BDD). Let’s look back at the time when he opened up about battling the condition.

Karan Johar’s Struggle With Body-Image Issues

KJo has always been vocal about facing body image issues. During a conversation with Raj Shamani nearly five years ago, Karan opened up about battling body dysmorphia. Speaking about his current state, the Dharma Productions co-owner shared, “After 52 years, I finally feel confident. Otherwise, I have body dysmorphia. It’s when you feel ashamed of your own body.”

“When I go to the pool, it feels very strange. I don’t know how to go to the pool without feeling bad. I have always been battling the bulge. I’ve tried thousands of diets, five hundred kinds of workout, every type of you can imagine. Every diet, every workout routine – I’ve tried it all. I have been combating this for years,” he shared.

Karan Johar On The Difference Between Being Slightly Uncomfortable Vs Suffering From Body Dysmorphia

When asked the difference between being slightly uncomfortable with the body and body dysmorphia, Karan replied, “Aapko discomfort hai ki aap mote lag rahe ho lekin confidence rehta hai. Aapko ghinn nahi aati apni body dekh kar aur mujhe ghinn aati hai. Main dekh bhi nahi sakta apne aapko bina kapdo ke.You keep hiding your body because you are ashamed of it. Abhi thoda better hai kyunki body better hai. That is why I wear clothes that are bigger than my size. I cannot convince myself that my body is okay.”

Karan Johar On His Physical Transformation

Karan further spoke about his physical transformation, saying, “For 15-20 years, I had no idea that I had a certain type of thyroid fluctuations. So, I did my blood work and found out that I had certain thyroid issues and other problems that needed treatment. But when I finally found out, I started a diet called OMAD – One Meal A Day.”

“The first seven days were really very difficult, but I did it for 7 months. I did not have lactose, gluten, or sugar during that regime. In recent months, I have started weight training and playing paddle, because I realised that I need to put on some weight,” he added.

Karan Johar On Ozempic Rumors

Responding to rumors surrounding his dramatic weight loss and accusations of Ozempic use, Karan Johar said, “People keep asking me if I am on Ozempic or Mounjaro, but I am tired of explaining it to people. You don’t know my truth. They have no idea about the truth, and I don’t want to share it. Long story short, I know that I am very healthy. I’ve never felt lighter and better. I have never felt more confident in my skin, and that gives me nothing but joy,” he concluded.

karan johar backs aanand l rai over raanjhanaa ai ending changed
Bollywood

Karan Johar Backs Aanand L Rai After Raanjhanaa Producers Alter Ending With AI In Re-Release

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Karan Johar has voiced his support for filmmaker Aanand L Rai following the re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered ending, emphasising that the director’s consent should have been obtained beforehand. In August, the film was re-released in theatres—not as a standard re-release, but with the ending modified using artificial intelligence. This decision sparked controversy within the industry, with Rai expressing his disappointment over the change to a “happy ending” without his approval. The film’s lead actor, Dhanush, also criticised the move.

Karan Johar Backs Aanand L Rai After Raanjhanaa Producers Alter Ending With AI

Karan Johar spoke out in support of Anand L Rai during an appearance on Komal Nahta’s YouTube show Game Changers. When asked about who should have the authority to re-release a film with modifications, he said, “This should now be contractual. If the producer owns 100% of the film, then he/she has the right to do whatever they want. But he/she has to have the moral dilemma about it. Today, also I own every IP, but if I have to do anything to the film, I call the director of the film. So when it’s not contractual, it has to be moral. Agar aapki morality nahi hai, agar aap ek director ke vision ko badal rahe ho, release kar rahe without his/her consent, then that is not right.”

(If you don’t have morality, if you’re changing a director’s vision and releasing the film without his/her consent, then that is not right).

He further added, “His job is to call Aanand L. Rai jiski vision thi voh, jiski wajah se aap yeh kar rahe ho aaj, it’s your moral responsibility. You should call everybody who made that film special. It’s the right thing to do. Aur kya hi ukhaad liya aapne change karke. Aisa nahi hai ki uss film ka bahut bada business hua. Because it’s inauthentic. AI has to be used for its absolute worth. Jo natural hai voh zyada chalega (You should call Aanand L. Rai — it was his vision, and he’s the reason you’re able to do this today. What did you even achieve by changing it? It’s not as if the film made huge business. Because it’s inauthentic. AI should only be used where it truly adds value. What’s natural will always work better).”

About the AI-Altered Ending

Raanjhanaa centres on Kundan (Dhanush), who falls in love with Zoya (Sonam Kapoor), a Muslim girl. In the original climax, Kundan is shot at a rally and later dies in the hospital. However, in the AI version re-released in Tamil, Kundan survives.

Aanand L Rai On Raanjhanaa’s AI-Altered Ending

Rai expressed his deep disappointment in a statement, saying, “People connected with Raanjhanaa because of its flaws and imperfections. To see its ending changed without any discussion is a gross violation—not just of the film, but of the trust of the fans who have carried it in their hearts for 12 years.”

Eros On Raanjhanaa’s AI-Altered Ending

The studio responded, claiming they are the “sole and exclusive copyright holders” of the film and that the re-release was “offered as an addition, not a replacement, of the original.” Rai responded to the controversy in an interview. He said, “Machines can’t create films. The tragedy was part of Raanjhanaa’s DNA. You can’t just rewrite its soul.”

Raanjhanaa was released in 2012.

How Ayushmaan Sethi ate Katy Perry’s leftover cake

While enjoying Maharashtrian delicacies, Archana quipped to Kunal, “You are just having leftovers. We have just left the leftovers for you.” Hearing this, Ayushmaan casually revealed, “I remember eating Katy Perry’s leftover cake.” Archana paused for a moment before Kunal jumped in, asking in disbelief, “Katy Perry’s leftover? How?”

Ayushmaan explained, “Yes, you heard me right. I ate Katy Perry’s leftover cake. When I was working at Dharma Productions with Karan Johar, he hosted a huge party at his house where Katy Perry was present. The cake-cutting happened past midnight, so very few people ate it. The next day, he sent the leftover cake to the office and said, ‘Jisko bhi khaana hai khaa lo’ (anyone can eat). I sat down and ate it.”
