One of the most whispered-about moments from the golden era of Bollywood involves veteran actor Vinod Khanna and actress Ramya Krishnan. In the mid-90s (some sources suggest around 1993), Vinod appeared in a film where he unhooked Ramya’s blouse on screen—a gesture that was considered extremely bold back then. Though the film wasn’t a major hit, this particular scene has remained one of the most talked-about controversies of that time.

Why It Created Such a Stir

The reaction to that moment was immediate and intense. Though Vinod Khanna was already a respected superstar, the scene was seen as a departure from the modesty expected of Bollywood films at the time. Talk-of-town gossip suggested that this scene may have hurt his image in traditional circles. Amidst the chaos, various rumors swirled—some even speculated it had influenced his personal life, although none were ever confirmed.

Sunny Deol starrer Jaat has begun its third-week journey at the box office. Sadly, things seem to be slipping out of hand with increased competition at the ticket windows. The action thriller has witnessed its biggest fall yet on Friday. Scroll below for day 16 updates!

Falls below one crore

So far, Randeep Hooda co-starrer was maintaining its one crore+ streak at the Indian box office. On day 16, it garnered only 85 lakhs, suffering a 38% drop compared to 1.38 crore earned on the previous day.

Emraan Hashmi led Ground Zero arrived in theatres yesterday, taking away a chunk of the screen count. Besides, Kesari Chapter 2 is the go-to choice of the audience. There’s also another option in the form of a re-release, Andaz Apna Apna. All in all, the competition has gotten tougher, and Sunny Deol starrer is visibly dwindling.

What’s Good: Sunny Deol’s swag and screen presence, action sequences, Randeep Hooda’s performance, background score, and entertainment factor.

Top Actors Who Rejected S.S. Rajamouli’s Films and Why ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Director S.S. Rajamouli is one of the most successful directors in India. Many actors dream of working with him as his movies bring global fame. But some well-known stars have surprisingly rejected his offers. Let’s have a look at a few of them and their reasons.

Balakrishna rejected Simhadri

Rajamouli initially planned to cast Balakrishna in the film Simhadri. But he declined the offer. The role later went to Jr. Ntr, and the film became a massive hit. Balakrishna missed a golden opportunity to be part of this blockbuster.

Pawan Kalyan Turned Down Vikramarkudu

Rajamouli wanted Pawan Kalyan to play the lead role in Vikramarkudu. He met with Pawan several times to discuss the project. However, Pawan was not interested in the film. As a result, Ravi Teja got the role, and Vikramarkudu became a career-defining film for him.

Actresses and their importance in Tfi are as good as props in the scene; they exist in the film, but are they creating an impact on the audience and bringing audiences to theatres for being eye candy and dancing divas? Yes, but do they have a memorable role? Not.

The recall value of heroines is scarce compared to the superstars they work opposite. We rarely remember actresses like Sridevi, Soundarya, Savitri, Ramya Krishnan, and now probably Anushka Shetty’s roles as being impactful.

Producers provide and pay for the artists’ accommodation, food, and other expenses, which are already known. But many are now taking this as an advantage. These actors ask only for five-star hotels, and it is said that they do not cooperate or are open to any adjustments.

The two actors are set to face off in Rajinikanth’s next film, tentatively titled Thalaivar 170.

Star Rajinikanth and Tamannaah Bhatia’s song ‘Kaavaalaa’ is a complete “banger”, agrees Mumbai’s dancing cop Amol Kamble, who has given his own spin to the number. A video on Instagram featuring Amol Kamble, shows him dancing on the track with social media artiste Shreya Singh to ‘Kaavaalaa’, sung by Shilpa Rao.

The video features Kamble and Singh matching steps to the song Kaavaalaa. They even gave their quirky spin to the choreography before breaking into the hook step.

Crediting Shreya for the choreography, Kamble captionedit : “#kaavaalaa must be banger.”

The track, which is from the film ‘Jailer’, is originally picturised on Tamannaah Bhatia and Rajinikanth, has been trending since its release.

‘Jailer’ is a Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The film also stars Vinayakan, Ramya Krishnan, Vasanth Ravi, Sunil, Mirnaa Menon and Yogi Babu in supporting roles.

Jailer was released theatrically on August 10, 2023. The film grossed Rs.

Ahead of the screening of his blockbuster film ‘Jailer’ in Lucknow, superstar Rajinikanth met the Governor of Uttar Pradesh Anandiben Patel. Rajinikanth visited the Rajbhavan on Saturday to pay a visit to her, the pictures of which have been shared on the official handle of Governor Of Uttar Pradesh on X, formerly called Twitter.

New Delhi, Aug 17 (Ians) August 16 may have been a working day, but Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2’ not only did well, but also left the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Omg 2’ and Chiranjeevi’s ‘Bholaa Shankar’ way behind.

At the end of Day 6, ‘Gadar 2’ was sitting on a worldwide collection of Rs 338.50 crore.

Interestingly, Tara Singh’s one-man war against Pakistan seems to have touched a chord in Chennai, for the southern metropolis saw a 73.75 per cent occupancy in theatres for ‘Gadar 2’. Pakistan-bashing, clearly, works as much in the south as it does in the north, that too on a working Wednesday.

‘Jailer’, being a Tamil film, doesn’t have as big a footprint as ‘Gadar 2’, yet with Thalaiva Rajinikanth headlining it, by its seventh day, it had amassed Rs 420 crore.

Of course, the film’s domestic collections have come mainly from the four southern states,...

Jailer is a Tamil-language action thriller film that released on August, 2023, coinciding with the Independence Day week of India. The film stars Rajinikanth as Muthuvel Pandian, a retired jailer who goes on a revenge spree against a gangster who killed his son. The film is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, who makes a strong comeback after his previous film Beast. The film also features Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, Ramya Krishnan, Vinayakan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Sunil, Vasanth Ravi, Yogi Babu, Mirnaa, Jackie Shroff, and Kamal Haasan in supporting roles. The film is produced by Sun Pictures and has music by Anirudh Ravichander.

Jailer has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and has become a humongous success at the box office. The film has broken several records and has emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of all time in Indian cinema. The film has also received appreciation from celebrities and politicians from various fields and regions.

Jailer, the latest film starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson, is a black comedy-action thriller that has taken the box office by storm. The film, which released on August 10, 2023, has been hailed as one of the best films of Rajinikanth in recent times and a remarkable achievement for Nelson, who has delivered his fourth consecutive hit after Kolamavu Kokila, Doctor and Beast.

Jailer tells the story of Muthuvel Pandian, a retired jailer who returns to action when his son Arjun, a cop, goes missing while investigating an idol smuggling racket. Muthuvel, played by Rajinikanth with his trademark charisma and style, sets out to avenge his son and protect his family from the ruthless gangster Varman, played by Vinayakan. Along the way, he crosses paths with several interesting characters, played by actors from different film industries.

Jailer Trailer

The film is a true pan-Indian film that showcases the diversity and richness of Indian culture and cinema.

Rajinikanth fans were seen cheering for the superstar during his whistle-worthy entry scene in the film ‘Jailer’, which lead to pausing the movie in a theatre in Mumbai. A video was captured on X, formerly called Twitter, by a fan who was present at the theatre and displayed a short clip of how the movie was suddenly paused in the hall as everyone suddenly stood up and started cheering out loud and clapping.

Just the stylish entry of the 72-year-old on screen caused the theatre in a big screen in Sion, Mumbai to pause.

This marks actually a rare occurrence because while in Tamil speaking areas of India, particularly Chennai or Madurai this is a known phenomenon, Rajinikanth though loved across all of India, and is considered the master of swag has never received this level of appreciation.

After that, the hall went silent as Rajnikanth’s character ‘Tiger’ Muthuvel...

Review‘Jailer’ is like an ostentatious ode to the many shifts Rajinikanth’s career has seen, and it works out perfectly.Leave logic at home, go for the Rajinism. Director Nelson Dileepkumar and the Superstar offer a film that may have gaping plot holes, but you wouldn’t really care. Jailer is an undiluted adrenaline rush for the diehard Rajini fan. The star brings his trademark larger-than-life mannerisms into Nelson’s quirky storytelling: a combination that works like a perfect charm. The film opens with an idol smuggling ring that Muthuvel Pandian’s (Rajini) son Arjun (Vasanth Ravi), a dedicated cop, is trying to bring down until tragedy strikes. Rajini’s clash with the smuggling ring builds up to a heist thriller reminiscent of Nelson’s Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Doctor (2021), only Jailer manages to top it. The villains, with Malayalam actor Vinayakan in the lead, swing between cartoonishly ridiculous to manically bloodthirsty.

Rajinikanth considered a demi-God of Tamil cinema has now attained the status almost globally with the advent of social media. Rajini is such a rage that he is omnipresent in almost all comparative statements / memes. A very popular saying is that there is nothing that Rajini-kanth (can’t) do. He is someone who can split a bullet mid-air and send them to two different targets!! Lightning speed is still slower than Rajini-speed!!

For all Rajini fans who have grown up watching the Rajini brand of action and his charisma all bundled into his mannerisms long to cherish the same in nothing less than a cinema hall. Jailer is no different, so much so that the buzz is that offices in South India have called a holiday to catch the Rajinikanth entertainer – Jailer.
