In a conversation with Digital Commentary, Sooraj revealed the reason for casting Shahid Kapoor over Salman Khan for Prem’s character in Vivah. “After Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon flopped, Salman called and said, ‘Let’s work on something.’ But at that time, I didn’t have a story for Salman, and this (Vivah) was a story that my father had given to me. When I decided I wanted to make this, I knew Salman wouldn’t fit here because he was a major star. Isme bholapan chahiye, umar chahiye, aur umar toh kisiki rukegi nahi. Toh phir yeh Shahid aur Amrita ki casting hui,” Sooraj stated.

Barjatiya then shared how quality matters to him when it comes to projects. He shared, “Uss tarah se dekhu toh main bohot hi selfish aadmi hun because nothing is more...

It was not a hidden fact that Karisma Kapoor was a rage during the 90s. The actress was known for experimenting with some versatile roles and channeling some bold avatars onscreen. She had created quite a sensation in her debut 1991 film Prem Qaidi wherein she also wore a swimsuit. However, there were rumors that her uncle Rishi Kapoor was upset with her due to the same.

According to a Reddit post, Karisma Kapoor addressed the issue in a throwback interview with Stardust. The Dil Toh Pagal Hai actress was informed about her uncle Rishi Kapoor thinking that it was unnecessary for her to wear a swimsuit in her debut movie itself. To this, Karisma had the most fiery reply wherein she recalled people remembering her performance in...

Is Salman Khan Struggling For Good Films Because Of Filmmakers?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

It was in 1989 when a shy looking boy said, “Dosti ka ek usool hai madam, no Sorry, no Thank You.” We all fell in love with Prem, and he continued to rule our hearts as the lover boy of Hindi Cinema, till he decided to take a 180 degree turn and he teased, “Swagat Nahi Karoge Hamara?” That is Salman Khan for us. The only superstar who is Dabangg but still has a lot of Prem inside him.

Bhai is the rarest combination of a superstar Indian Cinema has. He is the only superstar who has ruled with his lover boy image and has impressed with his action avatar, a niche that took years for Shah Rukh Khan to decode! Lately, however, filmmakers have been taking Bhaijaan way too lightly!

Just because his Eid releases bring tons of money,...

Did Salman Khan & Bhagyashree Initially Reject Maine Pyar Kiya? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Salman Khan’s remarkable journey to fame began with filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya’s 1989 romantic-musical masterpiece Maine Pyar Kiya. In an astonishing revelation, the movie maker once stated that Salman refused the lead parts repeatedly and was willing to recommend his friends instead.

During an old interview, Barjatya elaborated on the film’s casting choice. He explained that he was particularly eager to make a film with a fresh face. At that period, Salman was doing a supporting character in Biwi Ho Toh Aisi, which featured him in a brief but memorable role. However, the director did not pay attention to him until later.

“He was already doing a side role in Biwi Ho Toh Aisi and we wanted a newcomer. So how do I tell him no, when he was so good. But every time I went to tell him no,...

While I am still trying to figure what Iifa means by giving the two actresses from Laapata Ladies the Best Actress and the Best Debutante awards, I am yet to understand why one of the best films of 2024, if not The best, Do Aur Do Pyaar was completely obliterated from the awards.

Forget winning; Applause Entertainment’s Do Aur Do Pyaar didn’t even get nominated in any of the categories. So, were the Iifa awards only celebrating the successful films of the past year?

If so, imagine what would have happened to Guru Dutt’s Kagaz Ke Phool or Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker.

Do Aur Do Pyaar is a far superior work to almost every film we’ve seen in 2024. It is breezy and lighthearted, but never frivolous. Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta dives deep into a marriage in crisis. Miraculously, she finds a lot of laughter and humour in the crisis.

Is Srk facing hurdles in Mannat’s renovation? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Shah Rukh Khan’s sea-facing mansion, Mannat, stands as one of Mumbai’s most iconic landmarks. Located in Bandra, the lavish bungalow is not just a home but a pilgrimage site for fans who gather daily in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Bollywood superstar. Over the years, the house has undergone multiple renovations, evolving into the grand six-storey structure it is today. Most recently, fresh reports revealed that Srk has planned another round of modifications, including adding two new floors to the existing structure.

While the renovation is set to begin soon, it might face an unexpected roadblock. A complaint has been filed with the National Green Tribunal (Ngt), questioning whether the expansion complies with Coastal Regulation Zone (Crz) rules. The allegation suggests that neither Srk nor the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (McZma) obtained the necessary clearance.

It was 36 years ago that Bollywood presented love in the most happening way it could when a coy yet naughty Prem told a shy yet sharp Suman, Maine Pyaar Kiya. Years passed, and it was the cool college romance when short skirts were ooh-so-sexy, and chewing gums were oh-so-cool! A Rahul with a neck-chain saying ‘Cool’ made our hearts flutter and when an Anjali told him, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Rahul,...

What Did Rajinikanth’s Team Say About Online Fanwar With Vijay’s Supporters? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Tamil cinema boasts numerous actors and superstars, but on the national stage, Rajinikanth and Vijay are two of the most iconic figures from the Tamil film industry. Both have massive fan bases not only in Tamil Nadu but also beyond. While the fans often find themselves at odds, there is no apparent rivalry between the two stars themselves. In fact, they are known to be extremely cordial with one another.

A prime example of this is the Vettaiyan star extending his well-wishes to Vijay when he ventured into politics. However, despite their friendship, things recently got a bit out of hand during an online clash between the fans of Rajinikanth and Vijay. The latest controversy revolves around derogatory remarks and verbal abuse directed at Vijay by individuals claiming to be Rajinikanth’s fans on social media.

Director C. Prem Kumar on 96th Malayalam remake

Director C. Prem Kumar has two Tamil films to his credit as director, both of which have been critically acclaimed—96 and Meiyazhagan. He was recently in Kerala for the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters 2025. In an interview with Mathrubhumi, he was asked who he would cast in a Malayalam remake of 96 to play the roles originally portrayed by Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha.

He responded that if the film had been made in the 1990s, he would have cast Mohanlal and Shobana in place of Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha, saying, ‘It would be a great combination.’

It’s worth noting that 96 has a strong cult following in Kerala. Back in 2018, the song Kaathalae Kaathalae from the film was extremely popular in the state as well.
