    When Sanjay Dutt hit Shah Rukh Khan for ignoring a senior actor

    A news story is resurfacing in Indian media about a brawl between Bollywood actors Sanjay Dutt and Shah Rukh Khan, which became physical.

    It happened at the Mehboob Studios in late 1990s, when the entire industry had taken out a protest against the Stardust magazine.

    It was led by Amjad Khan even though he was very sick and could not even walk, but he was the president of the Cine Artists Association. Khan had just gained popularity but had not joined the morcha and was shooting in the same Studio. He walked down the makeup room and walked past Amjad Khan without even acknowledging him and when Sanjay saw that, he lost his temper and ran after Shah Rukh and held him by his neck, but some friends helped in the scene not turning ugly.

    Recently in an interview, the KGF 2 star has revealed how difficult it was to bounce back from addiction, and how poorly he was treated after his stint in rehab.

    In a chat with YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, he said that doing drugs was the ‘cool’ thing at the time. On how he ‘bounced back’, he said, “I had to make up my mind. What happens when you’re into intense drug addiction, you become a loner. I had become like that. I was a hard nut to crack, and I was at the rehab center for two years, which is rare. I couldn’t just accept that I was a drug addict.”

    However, when he experienced fun activities with other patients at the rehab centre, he realised that he had missed out on a lot. “This is what life is, why was I missing that. Ten years of my life I was in my room, or in the bathroom, and not interested in shoots. But this is what life is, and that’s how everything changed.”

    Talking about how he bounced back, he said, “When I came back, people used to call me charsi. And I thought, galat hai yeh. People on the road are saying this. Kuch karna padega. So I started working out. I wanted to break though that. And then from charsi, it became a guy with swag and ‘kya body hai’.”

    On the work front, Sanjay will be seen next in Shamshera costarring Ranbir Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor.

    ‘Shah Rukh kept his distance from Hrithik’: Karan Johar opens up about egos and negativity on K3G’s sets

    Bollywood director Karan Johar has recently spilled the beans on the real equation between the cast on the sets of his blockbuster movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

    While opening up about the negativity on K3G’s set, Karan mentioned in his autobiography An Unsuitable Boy, that the atmosphere on the sets of the movie was not at all welcoming. The director also revealed that actors Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Kajol were keeping their distance from Hrithik Roshan, after the latter’s mega-success in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.

    Talking more about the incident a quote from Karan’s book read, “It was unfair because he was too junior, and Shah Rukh was already such a big star. But that was a phase when one or two of Shah Rukh’s films had gone wrong and the media had started projecting Hrithik up there.”

    He continued, “The negativity that crept in was not justified or correct, and it was really sad. I felt Hrithik was the only one during the course of the shooting who needed a little hand-holding. See, the Bachchans didn’t have that equation with him. Shah Rukh was a bit distant at that time because of everything that was happening. Kajol was Team Shah Rukh.”

    Karan, explaining how he had to make Hrithik more comfortable throughout the shoot said, “I felt I needed to hold his hand a bit. And we developed a really good friendship. We got close to each other he was a bit of a lost child in this whole lot. And Hrithik, anyway, is slightly awkward around people. He’s not the most people-friendly person. Now he’s become a lot better.”

    Karan is currently working on his next project Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan. The movie is set to release on 10th February 2023.

  • ‘Anti-Muslim’ Bollywood film ‘The Kashmir Files’ spreading overwhelming hatred against Indian Muslims

    ‘Anti-Muslim’ Bollywood film ‘The Kashmir Files’ spreading overwhelming hatred against Indian Muslims

    Bollywood film, The Kashmir Files has recently been released in India which has ignited the environment of hatred against Muslims. It is based on the 1990 exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir valley.

    The film is written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. The film cast includes Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, and Pallavi Joshi.

    Some hatred incidents were reported after people watched the film in cinemas. Anti-Muslim slogans were chanted by the audience.

    After watching the film, One man stood from his seat and loudly said, “If every (Hindu) man started marrying (Muslim) girls then their population will be reduced to half after three generations. They will give birth to less number of children. We are watching a film here and Muslims are increasing population at home.” Later, people started chanting “Jai Shri Ram”.

    Indian Journalist, Mohammed Zubair has shared a clip from a cinema hall where a man was shouting to boycott Bollywood films, especially of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. He used vulgar language against these actors.

    The audience joined with him and started chanting, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram”.

    Some people have become so violent that they were openly calling out to kill traitors referring to Muslims.

    The film has fuelled the violence and hate against Muslims in the current radical situation of the country.

    The Indian government openly endorsed the film in the public. Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut recently crictised A-list celebrities for not promoting ‘The Kashmir Files’.

    One user also slammed Ajay Devgn for not saying a single word for ‘The Kashmir Files’ but he is promoting the ad campaign of Shah Rukh Khan instead.

    Akshay Kumar and Yami Gautam are among A-list Bollywood stars who talked about the film.

  • Saffronised India: Shah Rukh Khan at Lata’s funeral

    Saffronised India: Shah Rukh Khan at Lata’s funeral

    Legendary Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar passed away on Sunday at the age of 92 and was given a state funeral by the Indian government. Music lovers from across the globe paid tributes for the “nightingale of India”. It is said that music transcends borders, which was proved by the condolence messages for Lata and shows how loved she was across the border in Pakistan.

    Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted, “With the death of Lata Mangeshkar the subcontinent has lost one of the truly great singers the world has known.” Pakistani politicians, sportspersons, journalists, actors, artists, and people from across the country posted condolence messages on social media platforms. Pakistani state-owned broadcaster PTV and other television channels played Lata’s songs and paid rich tributes to the melody queen.

    Thus, it was extremely disappointing but not surprising to see the hate campaign against Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan after he went to Lata’s funeral yesterday and paid respect to the departed soul by saying a prayer for her and blowing the dua (prayer) in the air near her body, a custom that many Muslims around the world follow. The anti-Muslim, Islamophobic propaganda campaign against SRK was started by leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

    BJP’s Arun Yadav was the first to tweet a video of SRK at the funeral, blowing a prayer in the wind with the misleading and hateful caption: “Kya isnay thooka hai?” (Did he spit?)

    Soon after Yadav, another BJP leader Prashant Umrao tweeted: “Shahrukh is Spitting!” while he quote-tweeted another anti-Muslim tweet against the Bollywood star. These tweets led to many BJP-affiliated accounts and Hindutva trolls abusing and spreading false information about Shah Rukh’s actions at Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral on Sunday.

    Many rightly called out the BJP leaders as well as their followers for starting an evil campaign against SRK just because of his faith. Minorities in India, especially Muslims, have been facing the worst persecution and injustice under the Modi government. Such misleading campaigns are nothing new under the BJP regime. When the coronavirus pandemic started in India, the Modi government and its mouthpieces in the Indian media falsely blamed the Tablighi Jamaat congregation in Delhi for being a super-spreader event, which was later rubbished by Indian courts. Such misleading, false, and ‘communal reporting’ has become a norm in India now.

    Therefore, it was not surprising to see the false and malicious attacks against a superstar of Shah Rukh’s stature just because he is a Muslim. A Muslim artist saying a prayer for a Hindu singer at her funeral could be communalised to such an extent that some people would actually think that SRK would spit on Lata’s body is unimaginable. It just goes on to show how India under Modi has become extremely communal and uninhabitable for minorities. The Saffronisation of India seems to be complete.

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

    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.

    6ba84543-179c-4857-b095-fc2659f381d2.jpg

    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.

    Katrina Kaif humorously replies reporter for question about kissing Shah Rukh Khan

    Touted as the ‘King of Romance’, superstar Shah Rukh Khan had a ‘no-kiss’ policy in his films until Katrina Kaif became her leading lady in Yash Chopra’s blockbuster.

    The dimpled actor shared his first on-screen kiss with Katrina Kaif not once but twice and broke his ‘no-kiss’ clause in Jab Tak Hai Jaan as he couldn’t say no to Yash Chopra.

    Five years later, for Aanand L Rai’s Zero, the actor again let go of his policy because the ‘kiss’ between him and Katrina was the game-changer in the movie.

    Watch the video to find out what the Dhoom 3 star had to say on being asked if she felt lucky to have kissed SRK.

    At the launch of the song Husn Parcham, a journalist asked the actress if she felt lucky to have kissed him on screen, not just once but twice.

    Katrina had a rather epic response to this question. “Kisne bola main lucky hoon? Woh lucky hai (Who said I’m the lucky one? He is lucky),” she said.

    Zero will see Shah Rukh playing a vertically challenged man from Meerut named Bauua Singh. He is in a complicated love triangle with a wheelchair-bound scientist (Anushka Sharma) and an actress battling alcoholism (Katrina).
