The Bollywood Superstar Who Could’ve Starred In Bajrangi Bhaijaan

According to an earlier report by India TV, the role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was initially offered to Bollywood’s Greek God, Hrithik Roshan. The report reveals that Baahubali helmer S.S. Rajamouli approached eminent filmmaker Rakesh Roshan with the film’s script and wanted Hrithik Roshan to play the lead role.

Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is still remembered for its heart-wrenching plot, innocence, and strong message of humanity. While fans are eagerly waiting for the sequel, the buzz indicates that the makers are actively working on it. In between, here are some strong and emotional storylines that can make Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 another hit film.

Bajrangi in Trouble: A Spy Without a Crime

Imagine this: what if the man who brought two nations together is suddenly called a traitor? In this story, a video of Bajrangi helping someone across the border goes viral, but instead of praise, he’s accused of being a spy. Both Indian and Pakistani authorities start probing his actions, and he is shockingly arrested and labeled a cross-border operative. The case was tried in an international court, and Bajrangi struggles to prove his innocence, leading to emotional and tense courtroom drama.

As the Covid-19 lockdown wore on in India, TV actor and host Shibani Akhtar was growing restless. The wife of actor, director, and producer Farhan Akhtar, she witnessed his work on the post-production of “Toofan” during the pandemic, and it piqued something in her.

“That’s when I kind of, just through listening to him and watching him work on certain elements of the film, I realized ‘Ok, this is really interesting, and I really think I could do this,” Akhtar told IndieWire.

Five years later, she is one of the co-creators behind “Dabba Cartel,” Netflix India’s rousing new drama about a group of women whose lunchbox service transforms into a burgeoning drug empire. She teamed up with fellow Indian Premier League alum Gaurav Kapur (the two met while Akhtar hosted for the massive cricket brand), then with writer Vishnu Menon and Akanksha Seda.

Dabba Cartel season 1 ended on a cliffhanger where a lot of things were still uncertain. [Spoiler Alert] We saw in season 1 that Chacko forced Raji to shoot Moushumi after he got to know that she had betrayed his trust and done business with Sheila, aka Kashi Tai. He also told Raji that Moushumi was the biological mother of her husband, and that Sheila has hidden a lot of things from her and Hari for the past 30 odd years. The ladies had never imagined that they would get stuck in such a mess when they had started selling drugs. But now they didn’t have any option, and they had to follow Chacko’s orders.

What if someone someday decides to use the fantastic ‘dabba’ (tiffin box) network popular in Mumbai to start a drug business? Well, that is pretty much the story of Netflix’s new Hindi drama series, Dabba Cartel. Starring Shabana Azmi, Shalini Pandey, Jyothika, and Gajraj Rao, among others, the drama is women-centric and has thriller elements. So, how did four (later five) women start a drug cartel from a ‘dabba’ business? Let’s get into the details. Raji had started her food delivery business with her house help, Mala, to help out her husband financially. Hari was an employee at VivaLife Pharma, and his dream was to get promoted and move abroad with Raji. It had only been six months since he’d joined the company, and according to his colleagues, an employee was only sent abroad after they completed three to four years in the company. But Hari wanted to take a shortcut,...

Netflix’s new Hindi drama series, Dabba Cartel, is the story of a group of women from different walks of life coming together to start a business. The premise was exciting to begin with, and it’s bound to remind you of shows such as Griselda (starring Sofia Vergara) or even the Italian show Bang Bang Baby (available on Amazon Prime). These series have extensively covered women’s roles in drug cartels, but what makes Dabba Cartel interesting is how diverse the gang members were. One event or mistake led to another, and they soon became slaves of their circumstances. But was it the lack of options that turned them into drug dealers, or did they start enjoying the thrill of going against the law? Well, you’ll have to watch the series to find out.

2023 had several great movies to offer audiences in a diverse range of genres, but fans would always remember the year for an iconic clash. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie competed with Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece Oppenheimer, making movie-goers go wild with the Barbenheimer phenomenon.

Something similar could have happened the following year when two popular IPs’ sequels were supposed to be released on the same day. Ariana Grande’s Wicked stirred both musical and non-musical lovers and a similar response is expected of its sequel, Wicked Part Two, to be released in November 2025. But its previous release date clashed with Disney’s Zootopia 2 which might have prompted the former’s early release.

Part 1 of the Season 9 of 90 Day Fiance Tell All aired last night, and it seems that it has been popular among viewers who have been expressing their opinions on social media.
