Karan Johar thinks Alia-Ranveer are the new SRK-Kajol: Twitter is like ‘Ya think?!’

Karan Johar really knows how to mess with die-hard Bollywood fanatics and long time lovers of SRK. The filmmaker dropped the video for ‘Tum Kya Mile’ from his upcoming film ‘Rocky and Rani KiI Prem Kahani’. The visuals were awfully familiar to the classic song ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’, another Karan Johar classic which featured Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Karan Johar declared back in 2022 that Ranveer and Alia were the new Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, but Twitter stepped up with receipts to counteract his claim.

A Twitter user Ria Chopra went viral on social media when she shared a screenshot from the music video to point out how Alia flipped her hair, but Ranveer was cringing back from her, completely destroying any potential romantic aspect the film was claiming to champion.

“Exact second I realized this Rocky Rani song is NOT IT is this moment when Ranveer visibly cringes back to avoid Alia’s hair from hitting his face… in a true filmi romance the hero would allow her hair to hit him…. maybe even throw in a deep sniff… this is not my Bollywood.”

The 90s generation who grew up daydreaming that a guy would re-create the iconic ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’ have a bone to pick with the one responsible for this film.

Someone petition SRK and Kajol to come back for another film because seriously this isn’t working out at all

Yash Chopra, who invented the sari girl and highneck sweater guy in the snow fantasy, is rolling in his grave.

Everything about that song & music video is stale. Arijit needs to give us a break from his voice. Ranveer’s hair looks awful. Alia doesn’t fit into the Yash Chopra ‘sari in the snowy mountains heroine’ mould. “Aayi Hai Tumse namkeeniyan” is not a lyric but a slogan for Haldirams

Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh break silence on alleged separation

Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have shut down speculation regarding their alleged split with affectionate comments on Instagram.

Laying all separation rumours to rest for good, DeepVeer decided to engage in a bit of online flirting. Deepika commented “edible” under Ranveer’s latest Instagram picture.

The Befikre star replied with a kiss emoji.

Following this, Celebrity astrologer, Pandit Jagannath Guruji addressed the controversy with his authentic astrological readings.

Pandit Jagannath Guruji says, “Some news leave you astonished and Ranveer-Deepika’s rumoured separation tale was indeed one of them. Even when I scrolled down the internet, I could see hundreds of people awestruck, eagerly waiting for official information on the couple’s viral news. But let me tell you, the rumour is completely baseless, very far from being true. The couple is not going to get separated. Rather, they’re meant to last forever, uplifting each other on every path they travel together.”

He adds, “They have worked upon their relationship, turning it into concrete as cement. The sense of understanding and empathy both contain for each other ensures positivity and happiness around, eliminating the chance of anything coming between them and hampering their relationship. Rather, this news can turn out to be a PR or publicity stunt that we might get to know in near future”.

Predictions

“Witnessing as the things are going, you might have to wait a bit to hear Ranveer-Deepika announcing their pregnancy. The couple has been planning and talking about the kids for a long time now, but one might have to wait till 2024 to hear news on the same.

Furthermore, he highlighted, “Both Ranveer and Deepika are workaholic souls who even believe in providing space to each other in their personal life. That could be one major mantra of this powerful duo to outshine and influence other couples to date, even after being married together for four years now”.

Earlier this year, Padukone responded to a fan’s questions in an interview while promoting her film Gehraiyaan. The film’s trailer featured Deepika and her co-actors in a few intimate scenes that led many trolls to ask if she had sought husband Ranveer Singh’s permission. Deepika was asked for her reaction to the query.

Deepika shared that it was “stupid” that they were even reacting to it. “It’s stupid that we are even reacting to it. I don’t read comments. I’m pretty certain he doesn’t,” she said. The actor added, “I think yuck, it’s so stupid.” Deepika shared that Ranveer recently watched the film and he was “extremely proud of my performance.”

Ranveer and Deepika dated for more than six years before getting married in 2018. They have worked together in various films and were last seen in Kabir Khan’s 83.

Fact Check: Ranveer Singh set to replace Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Don 3’?

Bollywood buffs created a frenzy on social media when director Farhan Akhtar revealed that he is working on the script for Don 3. However, there has been overwhelming speculation about the cast of the much-awaited film.

As per Indian media, the third installment of the acclaimed franchise will have Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in key roles with Ranveer Singh playing an extended cameo.

Contrary to social media speculation, Singh will not be replacing SRK in the film but will be doing a special part to make the film even bigger.

A source revealed to Filmfare, “Farhan had an ambitious idea of getting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan together in the third installment. Interestingly, Bachchan was the lead in the original Don (1978). It had a different ending and showed the good-natured Vijay surviving and Don dying, while SRK’s version showed vice versa. Hence, it’s not clear whether or not Big B was supposed to play the role from the original version. However, Farhan definitely had thought of casting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3.”

Farhan is currently crafting a special part for the Bajirao Mastani star who is currently the biggest young superstar in Bollywood. Well, the fans surely can’t wait for the official announcement of the film.

On Monday, Ranveer appeared before the Mumbai Police to record his statement in connection with the FIR registered against him between 7 am and 9.30 am. As per ETimes, a source close to Mumbai police revealed that in his statement to the police officers, the actor maintained that he had not uploaded the controversial photos. Furthermore, also said that he didn’t realise that the nude photoshoot would create trouble for him.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranveer was last seen in Jayeshbhai Jordaar which also starred Shalini Pandey, Boman Irani, and Ratna Pathak Shah. Apart from this, the Dil Dhadakne Do actor will be seen next in Karan Johar’s film, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani with Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan in the lead, which is slated to release in the cinemas on 10 February 2023. Ranveer also has other projects including Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Pooja Hegde, and Varun Sharma.

On being asked recently about her opinion on the naked photoshoot and the FIR against Ranveer Singh, Bollywood star Vidya Balan said, “Arre kya problem hai? Pehli baar koi aadmi aisa kar raha hai, hum logo ko bhi aankhein sekhne dijiye na (What’s the problem. A man is doing it for the first time, let us also please our eyes).”

When Fawad Khan signed a film each with Priyanka, Katrina and Deepika

Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success an actor in India’s Hindi film industry, Bollywood.

In his Bollywood stint, Fawad won Filmfare’s best debut award for his performance in Anil Kapoor’s Khoobsurat. He attained commercial success with roles in projects like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Kapoor & Sons.

In his brief stint in India, he managed to impress the bigwigs of the fraternity. However the Indo-Pak border tensions resulted in the banning of Pakistani celebrities in India and hence the Satrangi hero lost out on a list of A-list feature films with female superstars.

Hindi cinema’s numero-uno film producer Karan Johar roped in the Zindagi Gulzar Hai star opposite box-office queen Katrina Kaif in Raat Baaki. The film was to be helmed by URI fame Aditya Dhar.

Bollywood special: How much do Akshay, Ranveer, Hrithik and Khans charge per film?

Bollywood is touted to be among the biggest film industries of the world, and has given birth to many transnational superstars. While some take upfront fees to be a part of the project, some opt for a profit-sharing deal to reduce the burden of recovery.

Indian media tabloid, Pinkvilla has revealed the fee of Bollywood A-listers.

Akshay Kumar is among the actors who juggles between profit sharing and upfront fees. The actor has charged over100 crores for his forthcoming Cinderella. However, for some relatively smaller films and home productions, the actor has adopted a hybrid model i.e. charging a minimum amount as acting fees and then entering the profit sharing agreement in the ratio of 40 to 50 percent share in the profits. The actor had come on board Sooryavanshi for a sum of Rs 70 crore. The reason for Akshay Kumar to get such huge fees are the revenues from satellite and digital, as Khiladi’s films tend to do well on both platforms.

Salman Khan was the first Indian star to get a salary of Rs 100 crore plus on a feature film with Sultan in 2016 and repeated the feat by becoming the first actor to get Rs 130 crore as acting fees in 2017 with Tiger Zinda Hai. Salman cracks a profit-sharing deal getting 60 to 70% of the total profits. Post Tiger Zinda Hai, it has all been home productions for Salman, which means he used to take home all of satellite and digital revenue as his acting fees. Bharat fetched him a sum of Rs 120 crore (Digital: Rs 80 crore, Satellite: Rs 40 crore).

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan have adopted the profit sharing model since the start of last decade. While Shah Rukh has been getting 60 percent of profit as his acting fees, Aamir has taken things a notch higher with a 75 percent share in profit. He got an elephant’s share for Dhoom 3, and Dangal. The fees of both these stars vary as per the revenues of films from all sources – right from satellite, digital to theatrical.

Hrithik Roshan also has been following the profit sharing route for most of his films, though there have been instances where he has taken upfront fees and also opted for a hybrid model. He had opted for a 50 to 55 percent profit model for his last two releases – Super 30 and War.

Ranbir Kapoor has got around 65 to 70 crores for forthcoming Animal, whereas Ranveer Singh too has upped his stakes by charging upwards of Rs 50 crore for Rohit Shetty’s Cirkus.

Varun Dhawan is also contemplating to switch to the profit-sharing model soon.

John Abraham’s acting fees have gone up 3-fold over the pandemic, from Rs 7 crore in Satyameva Jayate to Rs 21 crore for its sequel.

Shahid Kapoor on the other hand charged Rs 31 crore for Jersey.

Tiger Shroff charges an acting fees in the range of Rs 25 to 30 crore, has got seen a massive jump due to producer Vashu Bhagnani, who paid him Rs 35 crore for Ganapath.
