Kangana Ranaut: “When I first began out, I was like Madhubala in her younger years”

Kangana Ranaut
  • Kangana Ranaut shared a collage of her own and Madhubala’s pictures to express her desire to play Madhubala on screen.
  • Death anniversary of legendary actor Madhubala, Kangana Ranaut said she used to look like her younger version.
  • When I started out I was replica of Madhubala’s younger days not sure about it now.

Kangana Ranaut remarked that Madhubala’s younger self used to resemble her on the death anniversary of the venerable actor. To make her argument, she posted a collage of her own photos and Madhubala’s. She also gushed over images of herself from when she was first entering Bollywood in her younger years.
“As people want me to play film goddess Madhubala on screen, when I started out I was replica of Madhubala’s younger days, not sure about it anymore,” Kangana wrote on her Instagram Stories on Thursday while posting a collage of Madhubala and her own photos.

Kangana Ranaut shared collages of her own pictures and that of Madhubala's.

My God this is from my first year in the film industry, she commented with a photo of herself alone wearing a black top and skirt.

One of the biggest stars in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s cinema industry was Madhubala. One of the most well-known films produced in India stars her in the 1960 blockbuster Mughal-e-Azam with Dilip Kumar. Neel Kamal (1947), Amar (1954), Mahal (1949), Badal (1951), Tarana (1951), Mr. & Mrs. ’55 (1955), Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Half Ticket (1962), Howrah Bridge and Kala Pani (both 1958), and Barsaat Ki Raat are a few of her other highly notable movies (1960).

In 2006, Kangana made her acting debut in Gangster. Her most recent appearance was in the action film Dhaakad, which was a box office failure. She is now studying classical dance in preparation for the Tamil movie Chandramukhi 2.

Kangana Ranaut recently finished filming Emergency, her debut feature as a filmmaker (after Manikarnika which she co-directed with Krish Jagarlamudi). She also produces the movie in which she portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Other actors who appear in it include Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram, Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, and Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Also, she has Tejas under development, in which she plays an Air Force pilot. The release of her film Tiku Weds Sheru, which stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is also scheduled for this year.

Anupam responds to Prakash Raj’s criticism of The Kashmir Files as a “nonsense film”

Prakash Raj
  • Anupam Kher recently addressed Prakash Raj’s ‘one of the nonsense films’ comment on The Kashmir Files.
  • Anupam Kher addressed Prakash Raj’s ‘one of the nonsense films’ comment, saying some people have to live life with lies.
  • Anupam in the lead role alongside Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumaar among others.

Anupam Kher, an actor, recently responded to Prakash Raj’s remark that The Kashmir Files was “one of the nonsensical films.” Anupam played the major role in the Vivek Agnihotri-directed movie opposite Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, and Darshan Kumaar, among others. Regarding Prakash’s opinions about the movie, Anupam stated that some people are forced to live their lives through deceit.

The Kashmir Files, which was published last year, continues to stir up debates concerning its plot. It draws attention to the 1990s exodus of Hindus from Kashmir. Zee Studios is the producer, and Vivek and Saurabh M. Pandey wrote the script together.

Anupam Kher responded in an interview to Prakash’s recent criticism of the movie. He said, “Apni apni aukat ki baat karte hain log,” to Navbharat Times. Kuch log zindagi bhar sach bolte hain, kuch logon ko zindagi bhar jhooth bolna padta hai. Zindagi bhar sach bol ke zindagi jiyein hain is main un logon mein se hoon. Uski marzi hai, jhooth bol ke jeena hai. According to their status, people speak. While some people must lie their entire lives, others always tell the truth. I count myself among those who have always spoken the truth. (Those who choose to survive off of lying may do so.)

Prakash had previously called The Kashmir Files a “propaganda film.” He added during a gathering in Kerala, “One of the absurd movies is The Kashmir Files, but we know who made it. Shameless. A jury from abroad spat on them. They continue to be shameless. The filmmaker, the other person, is still asking, “Why am I not getting an Oscar?” He won’t even be awarded a Bhaskar.”

“The reason I’m telling you is that there is sensitive media out there. You can make a propaganda movie here. I’m aware that they spent close to 2000 crore, based on my sources, just to produce movies like this. But you can’t always trick people, he had said.

Several Indian movies were among the 301 movies that qualified for the 95th Academy Awards. Although it was originally chosen for the list, The Kashmir Files was passed over in favor of movies like Gangubai Kathiawadi and Kantara. Prior to that, during the closing ceremony of the 53rd International Film Festival of India, Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid made a comment regarding The Kashmir Files. He referred to it as “vulgar” and “propaganda,” which the production crew found offensive.

Alia is praised by Anupam Kher and described as “a born actor”

Anupam Kher
  • Anupam Kher shared a photo of himself with Alia Bhatt from Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s Mumbai reception.
  • Alia kept her hand on Anupam’s shoulder.
  • Kangana has often poked fun at or publicly criticised Alia.

Anupam Kher posted a picture of himself and Alia Bhatt at the Mumbai reception for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani on Instagram on Monday. The seasoned actor posted a beautiful message beside their shot, in which the two smiled for the camera and Alia kept her hand on Anupam’s shoulder. When Alia was attending acting school, he recalls making fun of her for “being a born actor.” Some Instagram users who commented on his post featuring Alia claimed they were eager to watch Kangana Ranaut’s response to Anupam’s praise for Alia. Kangana has frequently made fun of or criticised Alia in public.

Anupam Kher’s caption read, “I love you, Alia Bhatt! At the wedding celebration for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, it was so nice to finally meet you. It was nice talking to you about the times you were in acting class and how I used to tease you about being a natural performer. Love the way you perform. In particular, Gangubai Kathiawadi. You were amazing. Carry on! Always send prayers and love!” Anupam is the owner of the Actor Prepares acting academy, which has trained a number of famous people, including Deepika Padukone and Varun Dhawan.

Soon, opinions about Kangana Ranaut dominated the comments section of Anupam’s post. Someone replied to his caption with, “Someone check whether Kangana is ok lol,” in response. Added one more, “I’m eager to see Kangana Ranaut’s response right away… You are the next victim, Anupam. Wait, if not this year, she’ll target you for sure.” Oh my God, Kangana would attack him too now that she is so envious of Alia, someone else said.

The friendship between Anupam and Kangana, who just worked together on the upcoming movie Emergency, is friendly; however, the same cannot be said for Kangana and Alia. Despite the fact that Alia has not publicly discussed Kangana much and has even commended her acting and talent in prior interviews, Kangana frequently makes direct and/or subtle jabs at Alia. Kangana recently shared a mysterious note about a Bollywood “casanova” and his wife, who she claimed were spying on her. Reddit users claim that Kangana made references to Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. She continued by providing several information about their lives without mentioning either of them by name.

“I am certain my WhatsApp data is being leaked professional deals or even personal life details, this obsessed nepo mafia clown who once landed at my door step uninvited and forced himself on me is a known womaniser and casanova but now vice president of nepo mafia brigade as well, forces his wife to become producer, do more female-centric films, dress like me even make home interiors,” Kangana wrote in a series of posts on Instagram Stories earlier this month.

She continued, “I think he (the aforementioned casanova) is trying to isolate me and put me through mental stress. BTW, he keeps her on a separate floor, and they both live separately in the same building. I suggest she must refuse this arrangement and keep an eye on him… how is he getting all this information and what all is he indulging in because if he gets in trouble she and her baby will be in trouble as well. She must take control of her life and make sure Dear girl, I love you and your beautiful baby. Raha Kapoor was born to Alia and Ranbir in November 2022.

Anupam will soon be seen with actor Neena Gupta in the forthcoming family comedy Shiv Shastri Balboa. Shiv Shastri, an Indian retiree and ardent lover of the movie Rocky, serves as the center of the story’s plot. He relocates to the USA and finds himself on an unexpected road journey across the American heartland with Neena’s character, learning that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.

Anupam recently stated to news agency ANI in regards to the movie, “It tells the narrative of two people whose lives are undergoing significant ups and downs without them realizing it. But they collaborate. Although our protagonists are not Bonnie and Clyde from the well-known Hollywood crime movie of the same name, they nonetheless turn into Bonnie and Clyde.”

Shiv Shastri Balboa, directed by Ajayan Venugopalan, also features Jugal Hansraj, Nargis Fakhri, and Sharib Hashmi in significant parts. It is scheduled to debut on February 10.

Anupam Kher comments on The Kashmir Files after RRR Oscars 2023 nomination

Anupam Kher
  • SS Rajamouli’s Telugu film RRR won a nomination for its musical number Naatu Naatu.
  • The song composed by MM Keeravani has inspired audiences to literally dance.
  • Anupam Kher opened up about his film not being given a nod in the Oscar nominations.

Recently, the 95th annual Academy Awards nominations were made public. SS Rajamouli’s Telugu film RRR received a nomination for the Best Original Song category for its musical song Naatu Naatu. Even Anupam Kher is a fan of the MM Keeravani song, which has caused crowds to physically dance in the aisles of theatres where it has been performed. The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, which is now out of the running for an Oscar in 2023, was mentioned by the legendary actor in a recent interview in addition to his praise for RRR and its song Naatu Naatu.

Earlier, a number of Indian movies, including Rishab Shetty’s Kannada film Kantara and Gangubai Kathiawadi with Alia Bhatt, made it to the list of 301 movies that might be nominated for an Oscar in 2023. The Kashmir Files, starring Anupam Kher, was also on the list. Anupam has now spoken out about how his movie didn’t win an Oscar nomination as well as the overwhelming support RRR has received so far during the Hollywood awards season.

The actor told Bollywood media, “If now RRR has won Critics Choice award, and RRR has won the best song at Golden Globes, it is the greatest feeling for Indian cinema. Why should (we) not we celebrate? So, there must be obviously some problem with The Kashmir Files. I am the first person, who sort of tweeted that because I genuinely felt ‘wow the song Naatu Naatu, the whole crowd is dancing on that’. Because till now whatever films that they (western audiences) acknowledged were about poverty of Indians, about some foreigner, who has made a film, whether it is Richard Attenborough or Danny Boyle about Indians (but from a Western outlook). This is the first time a Hindustani film or Telugu film or whatever, an Indian film, has entered the mainstream of cinema.”

Rahul Gandhi mentions “flying” while on the Bharat Jodo Yatra

Rahul Gandhi
  • Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter to react to Rahul Gandhi’s new interview.
  • The filmmaker joked that his ‘Sunday was made’ after hearing the politician’s statement.
  • He seemed to hint that the Congress leader had no idea what he was saying.

Vivek Agnihotri responded to a clip from Rahul Gandhi’s most recent interview on Twitter. The politician’s comment about “flying” and having the mindset of a pilot, which he made while on his Bharat Jodo Yatra, prompted the filmmaker to quip that his film “Sunday was made.” Vivek gave the impression that the Congressman didn’t understand what he was saying. Many others agreed with the filmmaker, according to the responses to his tweet.

Sharing a clip from Rahul Gandhi’s recent interview on Twitter, Vivek wrote, “My Sunday is made. I am flying already. Are you?” The filmmaker reacted to Rahul’s comments about flying and joked about his explanation.

The video was from an interview with Siddharth Aalambayan, where he asked Rahul about being a pilot. Siddharth confessed that he wanted to be a pilot, and then Rahul explained that he learnt flying from his father, late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He shared, “Flying is partially about flying an aeroplane. But it’s much more about an approach and an attitude.”Rahul also added, “My father told me one line. He said, ‘Always fly the plane, never let the plane fly you.'” He spoke seeing things with a larger perspective as a result of his training as a pilot.

Some of the comments on Vivek’s tweet shared the filmmaker’s views. One Twitter user responded to Rahul’s statement that the pilot had to be ahead of the plane, writing, “If this is what pilots do I am scared! Next time I take a flight I would like to first ensure that the Pilot is firmly seated in the cockpit and is not ahead of the plane.”

Another user shared, “Are you flying the plane or is the plane flying you….make sure please (laughing face with tears emojis).” Yet another joked, “I am flying on Cloud 9 (wink face emoji).” There were also a few Rahul defenders. One user stated, “I can understand that it is difficult to understand simple English and logic when u have a mindset of hating someone.”

On his Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started on September 7, 2022, Rahul is now through Jammu and Kashmir. Several Indian celebrities, including Kamal Haasan, Amol Palekar, Pooja Bhatt, and Swara Bhasker, marched alongside the Congress leader in an effort to draw attention to the major political challenges facing the nation.

The Vaccine War, in which Anupam Kher, Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, and Sapthami Gowda star, is Vivek’s upcoming motion picture. Pallavi, the wife of the filmmaker, was recently injured on the job when a car drove over her foot.

Sapthami makes her Bollywood debut in Kannada film

Sapthami
  • Sapthami Gowda was last seen in Kantara (2022).
  • The actor is currently shooting for The Vaccine War in Hyderabad.
  • Anupam Kher and Nana Patekar starrer will be directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri.

Actor Sapthami Gowda, recently seen in the movie Kantara (2022), is now filming in Hyderabad for the upcoming movie The Vaccine War, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. Gowda, who is eager to break into the Hindi cinema industry with the movie starring Anupam Kher and Nana Patekar, says, “Vivek sir watched Kantara and spoke to Rishab Shetty (Kantara’s director and actor), sir. He said that I would be ideal for a character in his upcoming work. Vivek sir phoned me and offered the position after Rishab sir provided him my contact information. “I’ll be pleased if you’d be a part of this picture,” he remarked. I jumped on board right away. After learning more about my character, a script was shortly delivered to me. I made my Bollywood debut in an instant.

Despite the fact that this is the actor’s third film and her first in Hindi, she doesn’t view herself as someone who wants to settle down in Bollywood. “I am happy to participate in any initiative that appeals to me. But my top objective is finding Kannada cinema projects, which I do constantly. The language is good. The actor adds, “I have also signed a Kannada movie called Kaali.

The 26-year-old, who is making her Bollywood debut, adds that she began filming on January 15 and that thus far, it has been a wonderful trip full of learning. She also discusses the significance of her character. The movie doesn’t have any main characters. The language gap is unavoidable, but I’ve been making progress. Although I believe any character is challenging to play, my character is a little challenging. If you find a character to be simple to play, I think you’re not doing something correctly. I’m having a great time shooting, and it’s a wonderful character,” the actor says.

Gowda claims she is figuring out how to overcome the difficulty of speaking another language. “Vivek sir has been a huge help to me in nailing my lines and accent. He advised me that I could study the lines in either Kannada or English as long as the sentiments were clear. The feeling a line conveys is more important than the actual line itself. My eyes must speak louder than my dialogue, he remarked, and that has stuck with me. He’s been really helpful, she says.

A post shared by Kangana Ranaut (@kanganaranaut)

Kangana wrote, “As I wrap Emergency as an actor today… a tremendously glorious phase of my life comes to its full completion… It may seem I sailed through it comfortably but the truth is far from it… From mortgaging all my properties, every single thing that I owned to being diagnosed with dengue during the first schedule and having to film it in spite of alarmingly low blood cell counts, my character as an individual has been severely tested… I have been very open about my feelings on SM (social media) but I didn’t share all this, honestly, because I didn’t want people, who cared to worry unnecessarily and those, who desperately want to see me fall and were doing everything to make me suffer, I didn’t want to give them the pleasure of my pain…”

The actor, who is also directing Emergency, further wrote, “At the same time I want to share with you all that if you believe just working hard for your dreams or for what you want is enough, think again because that’s not true… You must work hard that’s given even if you are worthy you will be tested beyond your limits and you mustn’t break… Hold on to yourself till you can … you are fortunate if life spares you but you are blessed if it doesn’t… if you break and shatter in pieces… celebrate… because it’s time for you to reborn… it’s a rebirth for me and I feel alive like never before. Thanks to my tremendously talented team for making it happen for me… PS: all those who care about me please know that I am in a safe place now… I would have not shared all this if I wasn’t… please don’t worry, I only need your blessings and love.”

In 2021, Kangana  announced  her movie Emergency. It was written by Ritesh Shah, who also wrote the screenplay for Kangana’s recent box office dud, Dhaakad.

Vardhan Puri reveals his true feelings

Vardhan Puri
  • Vardhan Puri talks at length about his experience in the film industry.
  • The actor shares how some people take advantage of actors promising them to work in return for sexual favors.
  •  He also talks about his film with Vivek Agnihotri, which the director backed out of.

Actor Vardhan Puri speaks extensively about his professional career as well as the film he co-starred in with Vivek Agnihotri, which the director had previously claimed to have canceled.

Vardhan Puri signed three films after his 2019 debut Yeh Saali Aashiqui, but they were cancelled owing to the pandemic. The actor claims that throughout his brief time working as an assistant director and actor, he encountered numerous individuals who claimed to have contacts in the film industry, including those who take advantage of actors by promising jobs in exchange.“Some people directly ask you for sexual favours, and say, ‘You pay me this much and I will get you this’. Someone would say, main aapko X, Y, Z se milaunga or woh aapke liye film likh rahe hain. And later, you learn that the person doesn’t even know the director and woh industry ka hissa hi nahin hain. They just try to make a quick buck,” he shares.

 

Nautanki by director Vivek Agnihotri was the first movie to lure Puri back from his hiatus during the pandemic. It’s interesting to note that Agnihotri claimed to be “no longer affiliated with the project” in an interview from April 2022. Agnihotri claimed that he assisted his friend and fellow actor Anupam Kher by filming the movie during the initial lockdown and even assisted with the first cut out of goodwill, but he had no knowledge of the finished product. Ask Puri about the progress, and the actor acknowledges that things are going well without giving away too much. That’s an old story, he continues. I’m not permitted to discuss it. Now that everything is going well, Agnihotri is quite proud of the movie.

Social media users have started sharing an old video that shows what the superstar Shah Rukh Khan wrote in the acting journal he kept for his daughter Suhana Khan.

Anupam Kher’s show Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai featured SRK in 2014, and during that visit, he discussed his plans to write a book on acting for his daughter. “I really want my daughter to be an actor. So I have decided that no one else listens to me, my daughter is young, so as a form of respect, she will read the book which I am writing for her. Whenever something comes into my heart about acting, I write it down.”

He added the following in the video: “Yes, only for her. I am writing my personal experiences in 3-4 short lines. I feel like writing it for her. Because I think I need to tell someone how I act. When I try to tell about it to my co-actors, they avoid that. So I want my daughter to read that book and learn from it.”

Suhana recently posted a photo to Instagram in which she displayed the journal his father mentioned in the previous video.

According to an Indian report, Shah Rukh Khan simply titled the book, “To Suhana… on Acting… by Papa.”
