Vijay Varma says "directors of current generation" are "only thinking about murder"; jokes about his crime film streak

Vijay Varma is a rising star in Indian cinema, renowned for his captivating portrayals of multifaceted characters. Fresh off his success in the murder mystery Murder Mubarak as the perceptive cop Akash Dogra, Varma has garnered a reputation for excelling in the realm of crime thrillers. However, in a recent interview, hosted by Netflix for the cast and crew of Murder Mubarak, Vijay revealed a surprising truth: his gravitation towards crime films isn't fueled by a fascination with violence. He asserted, "I wasn’t inclined towards being a spy, but I wanted to be a superhero when I was a child. I think it has something to do with solving crime. This theme has been my favourite one since childhood. I have often played the role of killer." This fascination with unravelling enigmas seems to have translated into his on-screen presence, where he's often seen playing morally ambiguous characters in projects like Darlings, Dahaad, and Kaalkoot. When questioned about his appar

Crew is all set to hit theatres this Friday, March 29. Talented filmmaker Rajesh Krishnan, who wowed the audience with the 2020 comic caper Lootcase, exclusively spoke with Bollywood Hungama about working with Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon, the hit songs of the film, censor issues and a lot more. Lootcase couldn’t make it in cinemas due to the pandemic. Crew, however, will arrive in theatres. How do you feel? I feel very elated. With Lootcase, we had seen the film in cinemas. We even did a tech check. But then it was pulled off from theatres at the last minute. So, with Crew, I am trying to stay away from all the tech checks. I don’t want to harm it with my luck (laughs). Your recent statement ‘To me, Kareena, Tabu and Kriti are no different from Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan’ has caught a lot of attention… Come to think of it. Three stalwarts have come under one roof. It’s a great achievement on our part. Tabu started in the 90s. Kareena debuted in the year

The event was entertaining from the very beginning, especially the mutual respect shown by Akshay Kumar and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Akshay Kumar began by saying, “It’s been a lot of fun working with Prithviraj. I learnt a lot about acting from him.” Prithviraj was embarrassed and shook his head, refusing to accept it. Akshay, in his trademark style, raised laughs as he stated, “Prithvi, come on. Take a compliment! You’re really good!” Prithviraj, however, remained adamant saying, “Not this one from you!” At this, Akshay Kumar replied, “Come on. I may have done more films than you but you are a much better actor!” Prithviraj Sukumaran then took the mic and he stated, “It’s been a while since I have been a part of Hindi cinema. I couldn’t be happier than to make a come

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Janki Bodiwala spoke about the film, working in the original Gujarati version Vash (2023) and a lot more. You were the only actor to feature in both Vash as well as Shaitaan. The makers of the remake could have cast anyone from Bollywood, but they chose to go with you. How does that feel? Yes, they could have cast anyone in Bollywood. But they decided to stick to the original casting for my character. That’s very generous of them. Thanks to them, I got such a big break in Hindi cinema. It was lovely working on both versio

Interestingly, the movie starred actors that were unknown then but they later on became known stars. As Love Sex Aur Dhokha turns 14 today, here's looking back at the known actors from the film who were newcomers back then. Rajkummar Rao: Today, Rajkummar Rao is known as one of the finest performers and a reliable name. But when Love Sex Aur Dhokha had released, in which he played Adarsh, he was unknown.
