When Jugjugg Jeeyo trailer was launched with much fanfare, it also featured the relationships that Karan Johar shares with the entire cast of his production, including Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. On the other hand, the lead actor of the film Varun Dhawan aka Kukoo has been KJo’s ‘student’ since the start of his career and now that he has become a star from just a star kid, he spoke about the filmmaker and his habits. During this exclusive talk with Bollywood Hungama , Varun’s onscreen father Anil Kapoor had an interesting quip to add and needless to say, the ‘Jhakaas’ actor added his witty lines to make it even more entertaining. Anil Kapoor was asked to speak about Karan Johar and how his career has continued to be successful for all these years.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri continues to stay in the headlines ever since his blockbuster The Kashmir Files soared at the box office. The filmmaker has maintained that he directed the film in order to bring the issues of Kashmiri Pandits to the spotlight. In a recent interview with a foreign publication, the filmmaker compared making the movie with that of 1993 Steven Spielberg's directorial, Schindler’s List . In the interview, Agnihotri continued to deny the claims that the film had the government of India's support and that the film has encouraged people to vilify Muslims. “It was impossible to make a film about the Kashmiri Hindu genocide,” he told New Yorker. “The reason was terrorism; everybody was scared. But then we decided to do it. People came to my office and hit my manager. I was heckled. So now the government of India has given me security. And this is exactly why people do not make movies on the Kashmiri Hindu genocide, because it is assumed that, if Hindus are i

Netflix is developing a limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel East of Eden , with Zoe Kazan. Florence Pugh is attached to star in and co-produce the feature. According to Variety, the series, which is still in early development, will be written and executive produced by Zoe Kazan, whose grandfather, Elia Kazan, helmed the 1955 film adaptation of Steinbeck’s novel. Florence Pugh is attached to star in the series in an undisclosed role. Anonymous Content and Endeavor Content will co-produce the series. The limited series adaptation will explore the novel’s themes of trauma and repair; love and betrayal; duty and free will. The series will sketch an intimate portrait of the Trask family against the backdrop of huge historical forces — or, as Steinbeck put it, “the story of my country and the story of me.” As the report notes, the epic novel tells the interconnected stories of the Hamilton family, an Irish immigrant family with nine children, and the Trask family,

The Karan Johar-hosted popular chat show,  Koffee With Karan is all set to make a comeback, albeit with a change in medium from television to OTT. However, this small change has not affected the popularity of the show in the least bit. Instead, it has increased the anticipation for a no holds barred conversation between the host, Karan Johar, and the celebrity guests. While rumours are currently flying fast and high about who will be the guests on the seventh season, a section of the media has been speculating about who will appear alongside Akshay Kumar. In fact, some reports have claimed that Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who was formerly married to Naga Chaitanya, will appear on  Koffee With Karan. For those interested here is the startling truth: Samantha will be paired on  Koffee With Karan  with Akshay ‘Khiladi’ Kumar. But, what makes this pairing rather unexpected and that much more interesting is the fact that though the two have featured together in an advertisement, neither of th

While Karan Johar holidays abroad with his children, a section of the over-imaginative media in Mumbai is going on overdrive with speculative guests on his enormously popular chat show  Koffee With Karan  which returns for its seventh season on July 7. The latest brainwave on the guest list comes in a report on a popular entertainment portal, which “reveals” that the two former beauty queens Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sushmita Sen will appear together on Karan’s show. Reacting to my query if Aishwarya and Sushmita will really be seen together finally (once upon a time, Sanjay Leela Bhansali tried casting them together in  Devdas  and failed) Karan exclaims, “It’s rubbish”! As for the show, Koffee With Karan Season 7 starts on July 7 and will stream only on Disney+ Hotstar. The makers have done away with the telecast of these episodes on Star Network from this season onwards.
