The 10 off-screen roles of Ajay Devgn With the forthcoming Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior , Ajay Devgn hits a hundred films— as actor. Since the film will release early next year, he will have completed over 28 years, that too as one of the evergreen five superstars ( we all know the other four) who have reigned in Hindi cinema for over 25 years. Ajay was as unlikely a star material as Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha were in their times. The classic looks of a hero were missing, but in the process of finding his feet, Ajay explored both the actor and star within him. Like so many others, in his earliest films, he was branded as an action hero, the new angry but young Bachchan on the block, but he quickly decided to expand his horizons while keeping his box-office image intact.   Ishq, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Zakham, The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, Deewangee, Bhoot, Masti, Raincoat, the Golmaal franchise (the first comic series to touch four films), Toonpur Ka Superrhero, Bol Ba...

Gully Boy actors Ranveer Singh and Siddhant Chaturvedi 'emotionally made out’ Gully Boy was certainly one of Ranveer Singh's best performances ever.

But it is probably true that actors indeed start living the intense characters that they play. In a recent interview, Siddhant opened up on having 'emotionally made out' with Ranveer. You read that right! He revealed that he received hugs and kisses from Ranveer, that too while at a suburban multiplex in Mumbai! He also stated that he once was in tears while Ranveer hugged him. We are sure it was all an expression of happiness! The film, directed by Zoya Akhtar and also starring Alia Bhatt, earned appreciations abroad as well, and became India...

The Sequel Game: Have sequels become the new success formula of Bollywood? Sequels are now a norm in Hindi cinema. Some stories lend themselves to sequels or franchises, others do not. Some others, incredibly, do not appear to fit in as prequels, but anything can happen after a film does well, or is at least appreciated (Yes, a few commercial failures have also been ‘sequel’ed!). Recently, Kriti Kharbanda let on that the sequel to her breakthrough film Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana is on the anvil—this was a film with a seemingly complete story, given the title! “For me, that film changed my life and put me on the map!” says Kriti. “I got Housefull 4 because of Shaadi… , because when it released, Sajid (Nadiadwala)-sir told me that we will work together. Having said that, we have almost locked the script of Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana 2 , and that is one film I am really looking forward to doing. The first film was something on which I was never tired of working even 20 hours a day, and it...

He was always behind the cameraman watching us and okaying the shots which was very new for me because the directors who I had worked with, used to be just very close to the monitor because that became the new age thing to do.” She adds, “But when I shot with Yash uncle, I realized that how they (such ...
