Zaheer Iqbal has spoken about taking on a different kind of romantic role in Tu Hai Meri Kiran, which also stars Sonakshi Sinha. The actor plays an obsessive lover in the film, a character that required him to explore a different emotional range from the romantic portrayals audiences may associate with him. Reflecting on his decision to take up the role, Zaheer said he was keen to experiment with a character that would allow him to move beyond familiar territory. He described the part as an opportunity to approach a more layered personality and understand the motivations behind his actions. “As actors, we always want to surprise our audiences and give them something they haven’t experienced from us before.

Himesh Reshammiya reveals Khiladi 786 cost Rs. 1 crore EXTRA as it was shot on film instead of digital: “We unnecessarily spent a crore more”

Himesh Reshammiya had a conversation with Komal Nahta and opened up about the rise of AI and the need to keep pace with changing times. Himesh said, “AI is changing the music industry. Today, there are 7 lakh singers. Tomorrow, there may be 50 lakh singers. So, there would be growth but it would come with its set of challenges; it’ll be about how you reinvent that will matter.” When asked if he uses AI, Himesh replied, “Mere music producers ne kabhi kuch AI use kar liya, toh kar liya. However, AI helps us get references for scripts and for poster and costume design. It helps in creating motion posters as well. If people feel that AI won’t replace humans, they are wrong, according to me. But that would also benefit us.” Himesh Reshammiya revealed, “I remember the song ‘Odh Li Chunariya’ was recorded on 2-inch (referring to 2-inch tape). Then when we started recording the song on analogue, we thought ki gaana ‘thin’ ho gaya. I spent 3 days during the mixing to correct the thinness. Jab ...
