Akshay Kumar has always been candid about his journey in Bollywood, including the highs and lows that come with being a star. In a recent conversation with ABP News, the actor opened up about how the industry’s attitude toward actors often changes with the fate of their films and how he has learned to navigate failures. Reflecting on his long career, Akshay said, “I have seen many ups and downs in my life. I have given consecutive flops, sometimes 15–16 in a row, and I have also delivered consecutive hits. So in life, this is very common. I have worked in about 150 films so far.” The actor admitted that poor box-office performance does affect him. “I do feel upset on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when my film doesn’t do well. But on Monday, I start afresh. I begin preparing for my new film. You have to take it in your stride and move forward.” Akshay shared that low phases recurred multiple times in his career. “Consecutive flops didn’t just happen once, they happened thrice. Sometime...

Prosenjit Chatterjee’s latest film Devi Chowdhurani released in theatres on Friday to a positive response. The actor has another reason to celebrate as he turns a year older today. Chatterjee spoke about his latest film and his birthday in an interview with us. This birthday your new film Devi Chowdhurani is shining in the movie theatres It's always a blessing for an actor to play a historical character, and that too adapted from such a big novel which has been a part of every Bengali household and that too written by somebody like Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, who created Vande Mataram . This is not your first tryst with Bengali literature I am blessed that I have acted in a screen adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s Chokher Bali. But after even doing around 400 films, I didn't get a chance to do a film where it's written by none other than Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. That was my first emotion. The character is a feminist from a time even before the term was invente...

Actor Vibhore Mayank is currently enjoying the success of his second feature film, Bayaan, which has been making a strong impression on the international film festival circuit. The film premiered at both the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and the Busan International Film Festival, where it received a warm response from audiences. In Bayaan, Mayank plays a local police officer with a hidden motive who assists Huma Qureshi’s character in solving a case. Speaking with Hindustan Times, he said, “Even though it’s a very rooted story, the film has global relevance.” He added, “It explores how people blindly follow a cult in a small town — and that idea reflects a larger issue.” Mayank’s journey in the film industry has been far from easy. After moving to Mumbai from Lucknow in 2011, he admitted that planning a career in acting wasn’t something he could afford at the time. “I waited 14 years for a film to make it to such prestigious festivals and get houseful shows. The results ...

He, wife Monaliza, son Vivaan and daughter Vera walked the red carpet at the premiere of the web series and in no time, their pictures and videos went viral. Vera, especially, is being extensively talked about and also being compared with Kareena Kapoor Khan. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rajat Bedi talked about this aspect. Rajat Bedi said, “My children had no idea about the industry. They live in Canada and don’t know the concept of media, red carpet etc. In fact, for the first time, they walked the red carpet. They are innocent children who are suddenly taken by storm. They are completely overwhelmed. My daughter said, ‘What has happened to people? They are comparing me to Kareena’ (laughs)! And this is happening globally. She has suddenly become a global name.” Rajat continued, “My son is also now being picked up. As a father, I feel so proud. Every parent wants th...

The Ba***ds Of Bollywood has marked the solid comeback of Rajat Bedi. The actor was already popular among the masses and netizens because of his roles in memorable films like Koi Mil Gaya (2003), Jaani Dushman (2001) etc. What also kept him alive in the minds of people was the legendary meme of him mouthing the dialogue ‘Sabki izzat karenge toh lootenge kiski’. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rajat Bedi opened up about these memes and a lot more. When reminded about the ‘Sabki izzat karenge toh lootenge kiski’ meme, Rajat couldn’t stop laughing. Then he said, “It has become iconic. That line is going to go down in history.

Amidst the clamour for more austerity and less extravagance from the A-listers, one Bollywood superstar has emerged as the epitome of self-discipline. And that is Ranbir Kapoor, who is rapidly being branded the no-frills superstar of Bollywood. “He makes no demands on the producers… zero frills. Ranbir brings his own dabba to the sets for lunch. No demands of any kind. He arrives on the set without a team, completes his work and drives off,” Sanjay Leela Bhansali informed me. The other major contemporary actor who has acquired a no-tantrums-no-frills reputation is Kartik Aaryan. “He is one of the most disciplined actors I’ve worked with. No fuss, no frills, he comes on the sets. He arrives on the dot for the shooting and gives all of himself to his work. No distractions, no guests on the sets,” said Kabir Khan who directed Kartik in Chandu Champion. Anurag Basu echoes the above sentiments.

Deepika Padukone is no stranger to headlines, but the ones she’s been making lately aren’t just about red-carpet appearances or box office triumphs - they are about walkouts, renegotiations, and fallout. In the span of a few months, she’s opted out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-hyped Spirit and withdrawn from the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD, leaving the industry buzzing. To her critics, this looks like diva behaviour; to her supporters, it’s an actress exercising control over her career. But in an industry where perception can make or break a star, the bigger question looms: is Deepika’s assertiveness a bold power play - or is it a gamble that could dent her hard-earned stardom? Reports suggest that Deepika declined Spirit due to a combination of creative differences, fee negotiations, and disagreement over working hours, even prioritising another project - Atlee’s film with Allu Arjun - that she found more exciting. Soon after, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD were said to have been irked by ...

Choosing to marry on national television wasn’t just a grand decision for her, but also a personal one. “I’ve been in the public eye since 2008, and the love and support I’ve received over the years has been overwhelming,” she said. “I wanted my audience, who have played such a big role in my journey, to be p...

Nora Fatehi is back in the spotlight. The renowned dancer and singer recently unveiled her new Punjabi anthem, ‘I’m So Rich’, featuring Honey Singh. Touted as a global party anthem, the track has already created a buzz among fans ahead of its release. Even before the release of ‘I’m So Rich’, Nora has sparked curiosity about another musical project - a potential Bengali track. In a playful interaction with musician Sanjoy, she hinted at possibly singing a Bengali chorus, further expanding her repertoire of musical experiments across languages. In a recent playful chat with musician Sanjoy, the idea of Nora singing in Bengali came up. Already experienced in performing in languages like Arabic, Swahili, and Punjabi, Nora admitted that Bengali felt “beautiful but intimidating,” adding, “What if I sound silly?” Sanjoy reassured her, saying, “You won’t. We’re going to celebrate it.” The exchange quickly turned into a lighthearted commitment, with Nora exclaiming, “Guys, I don’t know what...

Nearly two decades after its release, Rang De Basanti continues to be celebrated as one of Bollywood’s most iconic films. Starring Aamir Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kapoor, and others, the 2006 drama became a cultural landmark that still resonates with audiences today. In a recent interview with Zoom, Soha Ali Khan revealed that the film’s success was far certain at the time. She shared that the producers were so doubtful about its prospects that they even asked the cast to return a portion of their fees. Soha said, “Nobody anticipated it making the kind of money it did or touching people the way that it did. In fact, when we were promoting the film, the producers called and said, ‘Can you return some of the money we’ve given you? Because we’re not sure this film is going to do well.’ All of us gave money back. We were like, ‘Okay, maybe, sure.’ But that film became a movement. And for me, it was a turning point in my career, something that will always stand out in my journey.” Soha ...

During the release of Dhoom 3 (2013), Aamir Khan came 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 (2009) 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.” This formula has been widely accepted and now, in an interview with Komal Nahta, the intellectual superstar has given another valuable tool, this time about how the profits should be distributed. Aamir Khan said, “I feel that you should be paid as per your contribution. Filmmaking is a collective medium. Everyone contributes equally, be it the cameraman, sound recordist, sound designer, director, actor, production...

In an interview with Komal Nahta, Aamir Khan raised laughs as he revealed how his much-loved film 3 Idiots (2009) was over-performing at the box office, despite the research suggesting otherwise. Aamir Khan said, “I believe marketing is a part of filmmaking. It’s not a separate thing. It's not like ‘Rs. 20 crores ka budget daal diya. Yeh kharid lo. Woh kharid lo. Isko paise de do. Usko paise de do’. That kind of marketing also exists. But I have always believed that your trailer is your main marketing tool. It’s something that has been going on since time immemorial and won’t change even in the future. So, you need a good story and a good trailer. Another important factor is the title of your film. People don’t give much importance to it. Title is very important; I learned it during the release of 3 Idiots.” He explained, “During the release of 3 Idiots, we were told, as per research, the film is not tracking well. We were wondering, ‘The research says that it’s not tracking, but...

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, currently promoting his upcoming directorial venture Nishaanchi, opened up about his views on actor Vicky Kaushal’s major films during a recent appearance on The Lallantop. When asked about Vicky’s successes, especially Chhaava, Anurag said he doesn’t begrudge the actor for charting his own path to stardom. However, he expressed discomfort with the sensibilities of Chhaava, describing it as exploitative. “I watched portions of Chhaava, especially the climactic torture sequence, just for my friend Vineet Kumar Singh, who played a supporting role in the film,” Anurag revealed. Asked whether he admired Vicky’s performance, he added, “I don’t have much interaction with him these days. I don’t judge him, because every person has their own reasons… I don’t repeat myself. What I wanted to say, I said.” Reflecting on his decision to leave Mumbai, Kashyap explained, “Every person has their own ambitions, and it is up to them how they choose to achieve them. It’s not ...

The advent of multiplexes has brought many changes to the idea of watching films on the big screen. Earlier, cinemas served a basic purpose but not anymore. Then, the whole theatre mostly had one kind of seats but now screens are divided into normal seats and recliners. The recliners have an attached swivel table so that viewers can comfortably place their snacks on it. Also, many multiplexes serve food directly on the seat. While many have given this facility thumbs up as it saves them the hassle of going to the F&B counter and ordering food, a section of movie buffs has slammed the practice. They argue that it disturbs not just them but also those around them and can affect the moviegoing experience. Now, Aamir Khan has also joined the latter. In an interview with Komal Nahta, Aamir Khan began by saying, “Smartphones arrived in 2005. That was 20 years ago. Thanks to smartphones and the internet, ab poori kaaynaat mere haath mein aa gayi hai. Earlier, our audience in cinemas was ...

Shah Rukh Khan, who was shooting in Poland with his daughter Suhana for the film King, has taken a brief break from the Poland schedule to attend the premiere of his son’s series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which was held on the night of September 17 in Mumbai. A very close friend of the family revealed, “Shah Rukh had long ago pre-announced that he would have to return to Mumbai. The unit has paused the shooting in Poland. It was not possible to continue shooting without Shah Rukh and Suhana, as one or the other, or both, are in almost (all) frames of the film.” The friend also revealed that the premiere was hosted by Shah Rukh. “He personally phoned from Poland and invited all his friends in Mumbai for his son’s big day.” Also Read: Akshay Kumar and other celebs shower love on Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood from Featured Movie News | Featured Bollywood News - Bollywood Hungama via

Hina Khan turned heads with her latest appearance on the set of Pati Patni Aur Panga, wearing a regal emerald green outfit by designer Anamika Khanna. Styled by Saachi Vijaywargia, the ensemble offered a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary silhouette, reflecting Hina’s evolving and confident fashion sense. Her look featured a modern lehenga-style drape in rich emerald green, paired with a heavily embroidered blouse.

Bollywood continues to grapple with mounting box office disappointments, where rare blockbusters like Chhaava and Saiyaara shine amidst frequent failures. But beyond theatrical numbers, another concern weighing heavily on producers is the spiralling cost of celebrity entourages. Despite years of debate, the practice of stars traveling with large teams — whose expenses are covered by production companies remains unresolved. Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore recently addressed the issue while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India. Since her family’s ancestral property, Pataudi Palace, is frequently rented out for film shoots, Tagore has observed first-hand how the trend has escalated. “I know about all of this because we rent out Pataudi Palace. There’ll be a secretary, a cook, and a masseuse. So, that’s six to seven people right there, and that must be costing a lot to producers,” she remarked. Pataudi Palace, valued at around Rs 800 crores according to Architectural Digest India, is...

Indian filmmaker Anuparna Roy recently made history at the 82nd Venice Film Festival by winning the Best Director award in the Orizzonti section for her film Songs of Trees. During her acceptance speech, she thanked the jury, audience, her producer, and her cast—Naaz Shaikh and Sumi Baghel—while also giving a special mention to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for believing in her vision from the beginning. Reacting to Anuparna’s heartfelt words, Anurag Kashyap, in an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama during the promotions of his upcoming film Nishaanchi, expressed humility. He said, “That’s very generous of her to thank me for that because it is her own grit and passion. It’s the way she went against all odds and did that. Bibhanshu Rai, Romil Modi, Ranjan Singh (other producers), and Naveen Shetty (co-producer) were the people who literally did all the job to help her make that film and put it together, along with her actresses (Naaz Shaikh and Sumi Baghel). It was very generous of her ...

Diagnosed with the autoimmune condition myositis in 2022, the actress has since transformed her lifestyle, embracing a holistic approach that has not only strengthened her physically but also shifted her perspective on life. In a recent conversation with Grazia, Samantha reflected on her evolved relationship with health. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can have 100 problems until you have a health problem, and after that you only have one problem—and that’s the health problem.’ Everything in life circles back to looking after my health,” she said. Her commitment to wellness has made her stricter about sleep, food, and mental health. “I’m stricter than I used to be about sleep, food, mental health, because of this situation I’m in. Honestly, it’s a lot more of a simpler life and in a weird way I’m grateful for everything because now I get to lead an uncomplicated life.” On World Health Day ea...

In the video, Ibrahim speaks candidly about his speech impediment, choosing to use his own voice—lisp and all—rather than dubbing. “Some people are born gifted, and some, born imperfect. As for me, I was born imperfect. And that’s okay, man. Perfection is just overrated yaar,” he says in the ad.

Fatima Sana Shaikh is a bike lover, and she hopped onto her Royal Enfield “after ages”. The actress was last seen riding a bullet in Dhak Dhak (2023), a film that featured Fatima and also included adrenaline-filled bike sequences. Recently, she took to her social media to share her latest experience of riding in Ladakh, calling it “nerve-wracking”. Her caption read, “Back on the bike after ages! Last rode in the mountains during Dhak Dhak.. and had almost forgotten how peaceful it feels. Chased the sunset, missed it twice. Wapas mudte mudte raat ho gayi.

Sharing her personal routine, Elli revealed, “I start my day with a 30-minute meditation session, which I practice every day. If I miss it, the entire day feels quite different compared to when I do it. Earlier, I enjoyed doing Pilates, but at a certain stage maybe age-related or just a natural progression, I realized the importance of lifting heavy weights, especially for women.

Rana Daggubati is one of the producers of the upcoming Tamil period film Kaantha along with Dulquer Salmaan, who also plays the lead. The movie, currently in the post-production stage, is set to release later this year. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Daggubati, while speaking about the film, was all praise for Dulquer. He said, “Dulquer and I have been friends for, maybe, two decades now. It’s amazing that we got to get together on Kaantha. It’s because of Selva (Selvamani Selvaraj), the filmmaker, that we found a story that was very honest and truthful.
