In other words, I have been one of those fortunate people to have a front row seat to all his creative processes (smiles). When the script is locked, he tells me, ‘You should play this character’.

As Vidya Balan completes 20 years in Bollywood this August, she reflected on a defining moment in her career, playing Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in Paa. The role came with considerable hesitation, as many cautioned her against it, given the unconventional casting choice that challenged industry norms. In her conversation with Filmfare, Vidya shared how she eventually decided to go ahead with the role in R. Balki’s film, choosing to follow her instincts over popular opinion. Looking back, she considers it a turning point that shaped her as an artist. Vidya Balan recounted her first reaction when R. Balki approached her for Paa, revealing that she was taken aback by the idea of playing Amitabh Bachchan’s mother. “I thought R Balki had lost it. He said he wanted Abhishek (Bachchan) and me to play Mr Bachchan’s parents. It sounded absurd. But then he read me the script of Paa, and something shifted. I kept revisiting it, and the actor in me kept saying, ‘Do it.’ I was scared, though,” she...

Yesterday, Aamir Khan announced that his recent film Sitaare Zameen Par will be released on YouTube on pay-per-view basis, instead of any OTT platform. Aamir also spoke in detail about his strategy in an interview with us. This strategy that you have adopted of not giving Sitaare Zameen Par to OTT, I want to talk to you about that. Do you think that was one of the reasons why the film was a hit in the cinemas? My whole approach to this issue is practical. I'm just following common sense, to be honest, you know. If I'm telling you to come to the theatre to watch my film, and then I also tell you that it's going to be on one of the OTT channels, which you've already subscribed to perhaps, how can I, in all honesty, invite you to watch the film and make you pay twice for it? It is so true. You know, you go in and it comes on, it says Amazon or Netflix, and you feel mocked at because, you know, you're going there, you're making an effort. You're paying money C...

What made you venture into action in Maalik when you are the king of comedy? Because I think it's very wild and exciting to move out of one’s comfort zone. After being the undisputed king of the action genre, why did Bachchan Saab do Chupke Chupke and Alaap? It's pretty awesome. Lately, not too many films are doing well. Does that worry you? No, I'm not worried if films are not doing well. Because films are doing well also—it's not like nothing is working. As long as you make the right film and it reaches the right people, it will find its audience. Of course, every film has its own destiny, and I believe in that. The only thing in my control is to give my 200% to all my characters and films—which I do. The rest is totally the film's destiny. Sometimes, it happens that a lot of really good films don't work. And sometimes, very average films work. True. So, no insecurities about the box office? None. You never know. There's no guarantee for that. The only t...

From the beginning, Neeraj Ghaywan was clear that he needed to connect with the grassroots through Masaan. “When we were shooting for Gangs Of Wasseypur in and around Varanasi, I was sure Varanasi was where I wanted to shoot my first film. This is the Indian heartland. I wanted to capture a side of the Holy City not seen before. We have for long imagined the city as being film with Sadhus smoking ganja at the ghats. I wanted to look at a city in transition caught between tradition and progress,” he said. He was lucky to get a perfect cast. “From the beginning it was supposed to be Richa Chadha. I worked with her when I assisted Anurag Kashyap on Gangs Of Wasseypur. I had also zeroed in on Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao for two principal roles in Masaan. Their dates couldn’t be worked out. I signed Sanjay Mishra and Vicky Kaushal instead.

I started working first, I got married first, I had a child first, so everyone feels like she’s younger than me. But Namrata is my everything. I think I became closest to her after I got married, actually. And then, after my parents passed away, my equation with her completely changed. I became her child. She worries about me a lot. In fact, I think she worries more about me than she does about her own kids… and also about Anushka!” Shilpa Shirodkar reflected on how her relationship with Namrata has deepened over the years, evol...

Saiyaara has become a rage and the same goes for its lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

Where do they go from here, especially after their film has become the surprise monstrous blockbuster of the year? Trade experts shared their views.

Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan wrote a touching message in praise of his son, Abhishek Bachchan, who has recently marked 25 years in the film industry. “The core of life is to NEVER GIVE UP .. keep fighting until the very end…you might win or you might lose…BUT WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU FOUGHT. The ‘pluckiest’…loser commands more respect than the ‘so called winner’…because the pluckiest loser is always remembered by the phrase – ‘he fought and almost WON’. That carries a deeper sense of achievement than the monetary benchmarks of commercial success…25 years !! that’s a remarkable accomplishment…comparing with others is a sign of weakness... the outcomes speak louder than any kind of ‘ness’,” the post began. He added, “You, Abhishek, have always and consistently measured yourself against your own self...not many are capable of that...And with each passing day, I continue to learn more and more…People often say you’ve done enough, now it’s time to sit back and relax…NO... stepping back...
