Filmmaker Sohum Shah’s heartfelt message on social media beautifully captures what makes Aamir Khan stand apart - not just as an actor, but as a visionary who consistently places story above stardom. "Aamir Sir is one of the biggest superstars this country has ever seen, yet he chooses to lead with stories instead of just his stardom," Sohum wrote. And rightly so.

Randeep Hooda had an interesting conversation with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day on various aspects of his life and career. At the very beginning, he spoke about what happened after he worked on his debut film, Monsoon Wedding (2001) and his major film as a lead actor, D (2005).

Neil Nitin Mukesh made his film debut in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan’s Johnny Gaddaar and later gained recognition in Kabir Khan’s New York. However, he has often voiced frustration over the lack of opportunities, noting in a recent interview that while some actors continue to get roles despite multiple flops, he was told his career was over after just a few box office setbacks. In a conversation on Varinder Chawla’s YouTube channel, Neil Nitin Mukesh reflected on how the industry often judges actors solely on box office numbers, overlooking the appreciation their performances receive. He noted that even when an actor plays a key role in a star-led big-budget film, the film’s success rarely translates into recognition for them.

But you will give the credit to som...

One of the mightiest actresses of Indian Cinema, Vidya Balan, completed 20 years in Bollywood on June 10. On this joyous occasion, my mind returned to the lovely evening of June 12, 2005, when I saw her debut film Parineeta at Chandan Cinema, Mumbai. My family are hard-core movie buffs; we planned to see the flick anyway. But as luck would have it, we got invited by a distant relative, Anil Davda, also the then executive producer at VVC Films, to catch the show of the film in the Juhu theatre. I went expecting a lot from the known faces of the film, that is Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Dia Mirza and Raima Sen. But it was Vidya Balan, the newcomer, that stole the thunder. Until then and also after Parineeta, actresses preferred to get launched in a typical commercial film, playing the quintessential heroine. Vidya Balan went against the tide. Parineeta was a serious drama and moreover, she was given a role that not many filmmakers would offer to a newbie. Hence, kudos to late director P...
