In an Instagram statement, she underscored, “I understand that in a city like Mumbai, space is limited - sometimes the view from your window is another person’s home.

Has Salman Khan brought down his exorbitant fee? At least for Bigg Boss, the show he has been hosting for the last fifteen years? There are reports that the Khan has lowered his price from Rs 250 crores to Rs. 150 crores. However, when this writer touched base with a source very close to the development, the truth appeared to be somewhat different. “Where do they get these figures from? The price cut which the Bigg Boss producers Endemol requested for reasons of falling ratings was for around Rs 50 crores. Salman obliged them. Where is the question of a Rs 100 crore cut being forced on him (Salman) when, in fact, he is most reluctant to host Bigg Boss anymore? For some years now, Salman has been asking to be relieved from his hosting duties on Bigg Boss. Unfortunately, Bigg Boss without Salman is as inconceivable as KBC (Kaun Banega Crorepati) without Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan,” said the source. But here is the thing: Salman Khan made it clear that he won’t host Bigg Boss ...

Producer Dinesh Vijan opened up about the thought behind Param Sundari, calling it a story rooted in culture yet strikingly relevant to the youth of today. “Other than the fact that it’s cross-cultural, Param Sundari deals with a very relevant theme affecting young people right now,” Vijan shared. “Param comes from a place deeply influenced by technology, he’s somebody who really believes in apps.” He further adds, “While our girl - Sundari belongs to a world where tech hasn’t made much of an impact. There are still pockets in India where life is very simple. This dynamic is what excited me to make the film.” At the heart of Param Sundari lies a very current dilemma - how today’s youth, often over-reliant on apps for everything from ordering food to finding love, may overlook the beauty of more organic, simpler connections. Through Param and Sundari’s contrasting worlds, the film highlights that one must trust their own instincts over everything else. Vijan also spoke about the cas...

The month of August started on a rocking note for superstar Shah Rukh Khan. On August 1, the winners of the 71st National Film Awards were announced and SRK won the award for Best Actor for his stupendous performance in Atlee’s Jawan (2023). Many celebrated his victory, but some had reservations.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan was the chief guest at a promotional event of Nikhil’s first film as an actor, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves (2008).

Back in 2013 the Aamir Khan starrer Dhoom 3 hit screens, while the film itself went on to create box office collection records, Aamir had come up with a different theory to gauge a film’s success. According to Aamir Khan, “To measure a film’s success, you need to see the weekend figures and compare it with the total collection. Like 3 Idiots did Rs. 40 crores on the weekend and the total business was Rs. 202 crores, so the weekend multiplied by 5, is the behaviour of the film which is very good. That shows people have gone again and again to see the film. Jo film teen din mein 100 crore karein aur total mein 200 crore karein, then that film is not good.” In this report, while comparing the quality of movies, we introduce a metric – Weekend to Lifetime Multiple – for the 100 crore club. According to this comparison, a higher multiple indicates strong content and therefore longevity at cinemas, which in turn signifies repeat viewership and consistent footfalls in subsequent weeks.

Actor-turned-producer Nikhil Dwivedi exclusively spoke to Bollywood Hungama about various aspects related to the industry. Another burning topic faced by the industry is the entourage cost and how it adds to the burden for the producer. Nikhil Dwivedi had a different point of view on this matter. Nikhil Dwivedi began by saying, “Let’s say that there’s an X price of an actor and the entourage cost is Y. In my mind, I’ll think the actor’s price is X + Y. What’s important is, am I getting enough recovery from that X + Y cost? If an actor is giving you more recovery than what they are making you spend, you can offer them the moon. It does not matter. The problem arises when they refuse to understand the basic principles of business and arithmetic. You can’t be compelling the producer to spend more on you than what you are giving back to the producer. That’s the problem. Let’s not oversimplify by saying it’s an entourage cost.” He further explained, “Let me give a rough example. ...

Genelia Deshmukh celebrated her birthday on August 5. The year has been special for her as she returned to Hindi films in a big way with the Aamir Khan-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, she spoke about her upcoming projects and a lot more. Speaking about Sitaare Zameen Par, Genelia said, “It’s very special to be a part of a film that talks about inclusion. To date, I wonder why and how it all came together. Since I was coming back to films after so long, I was always a bit skeptical about how it would be received and whether or not I mattered. But I guess often we keep waiting for validation from a certain filmmaker, production house or person. But sometimes your validation is what people give you, which you don’t really see. Hence, for me, this kind of appreciation is a big deal. It’s my validation and my sense of achievement. Hence, it’s been a special year thanks to Sitaare Zameen Par. I am also producing Raja Shivaji.” Raja Shivaji also...

Singer, anchor and actor Aditya Narayan celebrated his birthday yesterday. He spoke about how he spent his day and future plans in an interview with us. How did you bring in this birthday? With family, food, and the wildest plan of all. Consuming diet soda & sleeping just past midnight, so I could recover well enough to train in the morning. But truly, hearing my daughter sing ‘Happy Birthday Papa’ made it the best celebration I could have asked for. Does your daughter enjoy your birthday more than you? Oh, 100% yes. Tvisha believes balloons, cake, and attention are legally hers. I’m just the sponsor. But truthfully, being her dad is the greatest joy of my life. Every day, she reminds me what unconditional love looks like. Her smile melts my stress, her curiosity teaches me patience, and her tiny arms around my neck? That’s heaven. If this is what fatherhood is, I was born to be a Papa. Now that you’re in your 30s, how do you look back...

This is the Byomkesh Bakshi yarn that Rituparno Ghosh could not complete. After he passed away, Sujoy Ghosh had to step in to complete Ritu’s farewell stab at immortality. A thing of beauty is a ‘Sujoy’ forever? This would certainly be an applicable observation going by the options being explored to see a quick and favourable finish to Rituparno Ghosh last work Satyanveshi. Sujoy said, “There was the whole team to support Rituda’s film. There was specially Aveek Sarkar, the cinematographer who was with Ritu on many of his final films. The important thing was to make sure Ritu’s name and reputation were not compromised in any way.” But to take over the post-production reins of Satyanveshi was not as easy for Sujoy as it sounds. Said Sujoy, “I came on board as an actor. When I reached the location for Ritu, I had left behind my vocation as a director. It took me a few days to acclimatize myself to the new role. But once I did I was all there. I forgo...

Choreographer Vijay Ganguly spoke exclusively with Bollywood Hungama about choreographing the songs of Saiyaara. We then asked him about his other recent popular work, Sitaare Zameen Par. Vijay revealed an interesting information that he had worked with Aamir Khan 18 years ago in Taare Zameen Par. Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par is the spiritual sequel to the classic 2007 film. Vijay Ganguly began by saying, “Many people don’t know that I had earlier worked on Taare Zameen Par. I was assisting Shiamak Davar at that time. The song ‘Bum Bum Bole’ was scheduled for a three-day shoot. On the first day, Aamir said, ‘Aaj hum shoot nahin karenge. Aaj hum blocking karenge’. Shiamak had only dates for 3 days. So, we shot for 1 ½ days after which Shiamak left due to prior commitments. Then, I was there and we shot that song for 11 days! This is because Aamir was directing it and he took care of all the details. Also, since we wer...
