Kartik Aaryan revealed to Bollywood Hungama that he doesn’t believe putting pressure on a film because of past successes.

After the furore over his nude photographs and the flurry of FIRs that has followed, Ranveer Singh has taken a decision to remain low-profile, at least for a while. The decision comes in the aftermath of the uproar over Ranveer’s nudes for a foreign magazine. While Vidya Balan and some other members of the entertainment fraternity have come forward in his support most of the film industry feels the nude pictures were uncalled-for. Taking the advice of his close friends including Karan Johar and wife Deepika Padukone, Ranveer has decided to lie low for a while. “He has been advised to dress sober, talk less and stop doing his favourite lap dance with everyone in the room,” a close friend of the power couple tells me. The lap dance, for those who came in late, refers to Ranveer’s proclivity to plonk himself in his friends’ laps and shower them with cheek kisses. This time Ranveer is listening. The nudes have eroded his equity in the entertainment business. Apparently he may lose some

A little while back it was reported that Ranveer Singh had shelled out a staggering Rs. 119 cr to acquire a sea-view quadruplex apartment in Bandra. Now it is learnt that Rajkummar Rao and Patralekha too have shelled out a whopping Rs.44 cr to acquire a new property. As per reports, Rao and Patralekha have acquired a triplex apartment in Juhu, from none other than Boney Kapoor’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor. The latter who purchased the property in December 2020, which is spread over 3,456 sq ft, has apparently sold the same to Rao taking the price to nearly Rs.1.27 lakh per sq ft.

The exhibition sector suffered enormously in the years 2020 and 2021 due to the Coronavirus-induced lockdown and resulting restrictions. The situation has improved in the last six months but for moviegoers, watching a film in a multiplex has turned out to be an expensive affair. Gautam Dutta, CEO of PVR Cinemas, recently spoke about this aspect and a lot more. In an interaction with Economic Times, Gautam Dutta said that PVR used to increase ticket rates by 5-7% every year in the pre-pandemic era. For 2 ½ years, the multiplex chain couldn’t do so. Now, they have hiked the ticket prices by up to 23%. He said PVR had to do so to cope with the rising electricity costs, rent and maintenance charges. Interestingly, the ticket price increase helped the company post its best ever quarterly revenues of Rs. 1000 crore plus in Q1 of FY 2022-23. The footfalls in their cinemas are 87% of pre-2020 times and India’s largest multiplex chain expects it to grow and reach the pre-pandemic levels soon.

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday are coming together for the first time in Liger , that is directed by Puri Jagannadh.

Amidst hot and brewing conversations, while Vijay spoke about his co-star Ananya Panday, the actress revealed that they also went on a date. Karan Johar, however, was quick to ask if it was during her relationship with Ishaan Khatter. During the show, when Vijay Deverakonda was discussing about his co-star Ananya Panday, he revealed that she is a great co-star but not somebody you would want to be with when you are doing a film which requires you to diet. He said, “I find her really cute. I laugh a lot around her and she learns quickly. She did a really good job on Liger . She is a big foodie. So when you are doing a film like Liger which requires you to be in shape, she is not like the ideal co-star to have aroun

The popular chat show Koffee With Karan hosted by none other than filmmaker Karan Johar returned a few weeks back with its seventh season. While Karan himself was pretty kicked about resuming the show, this time on OTT, the audience too were eagerly awaiting the release of the new episodes. After featuring Akshay Kumar – Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sara Ali Khan – Janhvi Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh – Alia Bhatt, the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 7 featured the South breakout star Vijay Deverakonda and his Liger co-star Ananya Panday. Between the two the episode featured everything from stoic responses to over-the-top entertainment. But what caught our attention was Vijay talking about Pushpa: The Rise actor Rashmika Mandana and the relationship he shares with her. It came as no surprise when Karan Johar grilled Vijay about their relationship, especially since the two (Vijay and Rashmika) have been spotted together on multiple occasions. Responding to the query, Deverakonda managed to

The suspense thriller Ek Villain Returns released today and is expected to embark upon a good start. Starring John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani and Tara Sutaria, the Mohit Suri-directorial reportedly has quite a few surprises and twists in the tale. Interestingly, this aspect starts at the very beginning of the film, during the disclaimer slates. Under ‘Special Thanks’, several people have been mentioned. However, two names stand out – blockbuster director Rohit Shetty and acclaimed writer Kanika Dhillon, of  Kedarnath  (2018),  Rashmi Rocket  (2021) and the upcoming  Raksha Bandhan  and  Dunki  fame. The reason these two names grab attention is that they have not worked with Mohit Suri before. Moreover, their zone of cinema is different from that of Mohit Suri. Bollywood Hungama  has learnt that Mohit Suri has been signed by Rohit Shetty’s production house, Rohit Shetty Productions. Mohit was supposed to make the film with the same script as  Ek Villain Returns  with Rohit.

Considering that Ananya Panday met up with her mentor Karan Johar during her recent stint on Koffee With Karan 7, there were many skeletons tumbling out of the closet. It seems that the filmmaker knew a lot about his ‘student of the year’ and even sort of quipped some interesting anecdotes about her life. While the Liger actress smartly dodged questions about her own life, we can’t say the same about her candidness regarding other people’s love lives, especially about the much talked about couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. The Rapid Fire round may have started with the politically correct Ananya Panday giving answers but as it proceeded, the momentum definitely picked up and during the last few sections, we got to see the actress being her candid self while responding. The last segment of her Rapid Fire round involved her revealing the relationship status of the given celebrities. It started off with Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya’s response was, “Feels like he is in a rush t

While dodging the many rumours about her love life, Ananya Panday revealed about how she has been hitting on her co-star Vijay Deverakonda. Amidst interesting confessions and revelations, Karan Johar also played the usual quiz round with the stars. While the initial few quizzes saw Ananya acing it with her Bollywood knowledge, soon the tables turned when other questions started. Koffee With Karan lovers would be aware that the quiz round also features a mini section where the stars are asked to call co-celebrities, especially actors who are asked to say, ‘Hey Karan, it’s me’ to the filmmaker and also reveal what they are doing at that point of time. In the same round, Ananya Panday ended up calling Kartik Aaryan. The actor, who picked up the phone, said, ‘Hey, Karan it’s me’. Followed by that, Ananya asked him about his whereabouts but before he could reply,

The ambitious YRF – Karan Malhotra collaboration, Shamshera opened to low scores at the box office leaving the cast and crew of the film dejected. Despite the anticipation of Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor coming together for the first time, the film struggled to get a good box office opening. Owing to all these factors, a day ago, director Karan Malhotra took to social media to pen a heartfelt note where he apologized for abandoning film because of all the hatred and rage it received. Now, a day later, actor Sanjay Dutt, who played Shuddh Singh in the film, has penned another letter in support of the filmmaker. In his letter, Sanjay Dutt spoke about the response Shamshera received saying, “Films are acts of passion – passion to tell a story, to bring to loife characters you’ve never met before.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani co-stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor-Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar-Samantha Ruth Prabhu have already appeared on the new season. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama prior to the premiere of Koffee With Karan 7 , Karan quickly touched upon the ongoing topic of how he has now become the “Sima Taparia” (famous Indian matchmaker) to many in the industry, who is bringing people together. “They made me sound like I am some wedding planner or a matchmaker,” Karan jokingly said. “It’s literally like they made me into Sima Taparia, bringing people together. I am like these are all friends. And yes, I connect with the younger lot for my own selfish reasons because I feel that they give me an insight, from their lifestyle and what they wear, what they listen to, how they speak, how they handle their relationships, it’s a

Boney Kapoor has been quite protective of his daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. Recently when she was asked about marriage, she, revealed that her father had only one condition. She said, “Papa has this thing. He doesn't care anything else, he was just like 'He should just be as tall as me' and papa is 6'1”.” She went on to add, “As a kid, he used to tell me and Khushi - before you get married, I want to make sure that you can go and tell your husband that my father has made me travel all around the world before I even got married to y

Fans of Tamil superstar Nayanthara have taken huge umbrage to Karan Johar insisting on  Koffee With Karan that Samantha Ruth Prabhu and not Nayanthara is the no.1 star, even when Samantha insisted the crown belonged to Nayanthara. Karan Johar clarified that he meant no offense to Nayanthara. “I said, according to the list that I had from Ormax, Samantha was the no.1 star. Nayanthara’s fans have misconstrued the conversation.” That is not all that a section of  Koffee  viewers have misconstrued. Samantha’s tongue-in-cheek sarcastic “confession” that she paid Ormax to list her as the No.1 heroine has triggered off stories in a section of the press on the amount she paid for the honour. “I think we all need to have a sense of humour. Mine is a fun show,” says Karan.

After acting in South films as well as the Madhur Bhandarkar film Calendar Girls , Akanksha Puri reappeared in the news with the show Swayamvar Mika Di Vohti.
