Anurag Kashyap says he was fired as director from Tere Naam

Anurag Kashyap
  • Anurag Kashyap, whose latest film Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat was released this month.
  • Anurag Kashyap recalled why he was fired from Tere Naam.
  • As he wanted Salman to not shave his chest as his character, Radhe.

Anurag Kashyap talked about being sacked from Salman Khan’s 2003 movie Tere Naam in his most recent film, Almost Pyaar, which he co-wrote and directed with DJ Mohabbat. In a recent interview, Anurag remembered the circumstances behind his dismissal from Tere Naam after writing the script; Satish Kaushik eventually took over as the film’s director. Salman’s Tere Naam character, Radhe, comes from Uttar Pradesh, “where guys don’t wax their chest,” therefore Anurag requested that Salman refrain from shaving his chest for the role.

Anurag Kashyap stated he enjoyed Salman’s flicks, including Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and Dabangg, despite the fact that Salman and the producers rejected his request that the actor not wax his chest during the filming. Abhinav Kashyap, the brother of Anurag, really directed Dabangg (2010), in which Salman portrayed an unorthodox cop.

Anurag recently stated, “I got booted out of a film because I urged the hero to not wax his chest,” in an interview with Unfiltered By Samdish. When asked which movie, Anurag responded, “Tere Naam.” Arrey Agra-Mathura ki film thi, wahan aise thoda hee hota hai, he stated as he continued to explain why he requested Salman to grow chest hair.

Actress Bhumika Chawla made her Bollywood début with Tere Naam, which also featured Salman. In the movie, Radhe, played by Salman, falls for Bhumika’s Nirjara and stalks and threatens her in an effort to win her over. The movie, which was co-written by Bala and Jainendra Jain, is a remake of Chiyaan Vikram-starring Bala’s 1999 Tamil film Sethu.

Director Satish Kaushik discussed a remake of Tere Naam and compared Kabir Singh (2019) to it in an interview with The Indian Express from 2022. We’ll absolutely need to change with the times, he had stated. It will be challenging to make the same movie and get Salman to give the same performance. Salman has consistently argued that the movie is solid and will succeed. However, the character in it conveys the incorrect message. Kabir Singh was also the subject of discussion. Tere Naam was turned as Kabir Singh.

Alaya F
  • Alaya is the daughter of actor Pooja Bedi and granddaughter of Kabir Bedi.
  • She was speaking ahead of her new release Almost Pyaar with dJ Mohabbat.
  • Alaya said that she ‘almost’ opted for a profession that was not acting.

When asked what she thought about famous kids choosing non-show business occupations, Alaya responded, “It’s terrific. I nearly pursued a career outside of performing. The secret is to put a lot of effort into whatever you choose to accomplish and to battle for recognition in your field.

Alaya F signed for films before she made her acting debut in Jawaani Jaaneman in 2020 opposite Saif Ali Khan and Tabu, but those projects never materialized. In a recent interview with MidDay, she claimed that although people would enjoy her audition reels, they would never follow up with formal offers.

Anurag assured her he had the ideal movie for her after viewing her reels. With newcomer Karan Mehta, Alaya will now be featured in Anurag Kashyap’s film Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat.

I am pleased that it is beginning with this movie since it feels like a new inning.

Alaya thanked everyone on Instagram following the debut. She posted a clip from the festival’s montage and said, “Even after seeing this video a hundred times, I still find it hard to believe it’s true! Thank you, @marrakechfilmfestival, for having us. With all the great people of Marrakech present, it was such a weird experience to premiere our movie Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohobbat on the large screen in the midst of Jemaa El Fna Square.”

Aryan Khan
  • Aryan Khan attended a screening of Anurag Kashyap’s Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat.
  • Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Radhika Apte and Huma Qureshi were also present.
  • Aryan ignored the press and went straight for the screening.

Aryan Khan attended the screening of Anurag Kashyap’s film Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat among stars like Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Radhika Apte, and Huma Qureshi, among others. Aryan went directly to the screening as numerous celebrities posed for the photographers outside the venue, which did not sit well with some online users. Some people claimed Aryan had a “unnecessary attitude.” Though some also defended him, claiming that ‘the same media attacked him’ prior to his acquittal in the drugs-on-cruise case.

On February 3, Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat, a film by Anurag Kashyap, will be released. Alaya F and Karan Mehta share the key roles in the movie. A number of celebs attended the movie’s special Mumbai showing on Tuesday. While photographers shouted his name and begged him to pose for pictures outside the screening site, Aryan Khan was also seen and attracted attention for “ignorantly” walking past them. Aryan, the son of actor Shah Rukh Khan and interior designer Gauri Khan, was featured in a video from the screening of the movie Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat that was published on a paparazzo account.

“The boy has grown up, full attitude,” said one person. Another person wrote about Aryan, saying, “He is only receiving that much recognition and respect because of King Khan (Shah Rukh).” Aryan‘s behavior did not impress someone, who remarked, “He has a ton of unneeded attitude, and the media… I don’t know why you always want to photograph him. Regardless of whether the person is a celebrity child, please disregard such unpleasant people.” Another person said, “When his movie is released, he will stop and pose for the cameras.”

Several more defended the Aryan race, with one saying, “Well, when he was framed, the same media tormented him and made snap judgments and reports (in a drugs-on-cruise case). He endured psychological abuse and torture until his innocence was established. Therefore, there is nothing wrong if he chooses to ignore the media, which is so rude and doesn’t respect people’s privacy.” The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) detained eight people, including Aryan Khan, in connection with an alleged narcotics seizure on a cruise liner off the coast of Mumbai on October 3, 2021. The NCB cleared him in the case in May 2022, stating that “no narcotics had been found on Aryan Khan.”

Aryan, who hopes to become a director, stated in December 2022 that he will be writing his first film for Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan’s production company, Red Chillies Entertainment.
