<br />
In an interview with Film Companion, Raghavan went on to praise Agastya's performance in <em>The Archies. </em>He said, ''He’s a guy who is refreshingly normal and there’s no bells and whistles. I have seen his The Archies and I loved the film, I loved his character and many other characters in the film. So I know he knows the process of the film and now I am looking at diving with him into more subjects.''<br />
<br />
The upcoming movie is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. He was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
More information about the film has been kept under wraps. The film starring Dharmendra will go on floors this year.<br />
<br />
Recalling his first meeting with Raghavan, Agastya said that it was, ''really crazy experience''.<br />
<br />
''I remember when… Before I started The Archies I went around introducing myself to a lot of people because I don’t have social media, people don’t know what I look like really. So, I remember going to Dinoo (filmmaker &nbsp;Dinesh Vijan) sir’s office and asked him if he had any work and he said that he’ll keep in touch. I was not expecting anything,'' Agastya said.</p>

<p>Adding further, he said: “Two days later I got a call from him and he asked me to come to his office.

I was sitting alone in the conference hall… 20-30 minutes pass and then Sriram Raghavan walks in. Then I figured out what the story was and it was with him.''</p>

<p>Star in the making?

On December 10, the superstar was accompanied by his grandson Agastya who Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda's son.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sharing their pictures on X&nbsp;early on Monday, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "T 4856 - Sunoo!! (rose emoji)." His tweet referenced the song <em>Sunoh</em>, picturized on Agastya and others in The Archies. Introducing the key characters from Riverdale, Sunoh was the first music video from the Netflix film, which was unveiled in October.</p>

She is the maker who has made films like <em>Gully Boy,</em> <em>Dil Dhadakne Do</em>, <em>Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara,</em> and the brilliant series Made In Heaven. She has been accused by her critics for making films about the rich with her previous works and <em>The Archies</em> may reiterate that fact.

<br />
Rashmika's note of gratitude came hours after her statement where she expressed her concern over the video.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Monday evening, Rashmika took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank Big B who had earlier demanded legal action against those who had made the deepfake. She reposted his tweet with the demand for ‘legal action' and wrote, “Thank you for standing up for me sir, I feel safe in a country with leaders like you.”</p>

<p>Reacting to her viral deepfake video, Rashmika said it is "extremely scary" how technology is being misused, while her <em>Goodbye</em> co-star Amitabh Bachchan called for legal action. Even Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya has demanded that action needs to be taken against the video.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Amitabh was the first to react after a fact checker posted the deepfake clip along with the original video that features British-Indian social media personality Zara Patel. Big B wrote on X that there was an urgent need for a legal and regulatory framework to deal with deepfakes in India. Reacting to the post, Bachchan had said, "Yes this is a strong case for legal".<br />
<br />
Rashmika reacted to the deepfake and wrote&nbsp;it was scary how such videos go viral. Rashmika said she was "really hurt" to see the video, which shows a woman dressed in black workout onesie inside an elevator. Her face has been edited using artificial intelligence (AI) to resemble Rashmika.<br />

On Monday, Naga Chaitanya reacted to Rashmika's tweet, "It’s truly disheartening to see how technology is being misused and the thought of what this can progress to in the future is even scarier. Action has to be taken and some kind of law has to be enforced to protect people who have and will be a victim to this. Strength to you." Rashmika thanked him for supporting her.<br />

She continued, "Now a deepfake Rashmika video surfaces and I just saw her Instagram story where she genuinely looks disturbed - In a country where women’s bodies are exploited everyday, Deep Fake is going to be the next weapon they use to target and harass and blackmail girls to extort, blackmail and rape; Their clueless families in one small village or town is not going to understand when the so called maanam / or honour is at stake. Loan apps harass women borrowers with photoshopped images of their faces over porn photos and they can't deal with that. But a Deep Fake is going to be tougher for the usual untrained eye to spot.

I truly hope there is a nationwide awareness campaign that can kickstart urgently to educate the general public about the dangers of deepfakes for girls and to report incidents instead of taking matters into their own hands."</p>

Rashmika Mandanna thanks Amitabh Bachchan for his support amid deepfake video controversy

<p>Artificial Intelligence is at again! A new deepfake video is now trending and for all the wrong reasons. Actress Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video has become possibly the most-watched video of the day as it shows a woman, wearing a black outfit entering a lift. What’s concerning is that the video is morphed. Rashmika’s face has been imposed on another woman’s video who is seen wearing an outfit with a plunging neckline and posing for a photo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the video turned viral, netizens questioned what this could mean for all kinds of news items since it's so easy to morph images and question the authenticity of any information on the net. As users asked for some sort of scrutiny, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan reposted the video and said, "Yes this is a strong case for legal."</p>

Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan reunite on screen after 17 years; fans are thrilled

<p>Saiyami Kher is over the moon as her latest release, <em>Ghoomer</em> has become the talk of the town with her performance being lauded as her career best. In the last few years, Saiyami has committed herself to performance-oriented roles and working with maverick filmmakers. From Anurag Kashyap’s <em>Choked </em>to R Balki’s <em>Ghoomer</em>, the actress has proved her mettle as a versatile performer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Saiyami essays the role of Anina, a determined athlete who due to an unfortunate accident loses her right arm, and finds strength again to become a history-defying sportsperson. Both the audiences and critics alike have lauded her earnest performance which is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding roles taken on by an actor to play a paraplegic sportsperson. The film has one of the highest IMDb approval ratings of the year currently with a 9.6 score of 10.</p>

<p>For Saiyami, one of the most pivotal appreciation came in the form of a handwritten letter and flowers from the legend himself, Amitabh Bachchan. Saiyami shared the letter on social media, which read, “In admiration - your grit, your sincerity, your level-headed performance and the brilliance of your presence in <em>Ghoomer</em>. May the accolades never diminish for you."</p>

<p>Saiyami was clearly emotional after receiving the letter.&nbsp;Here is what she wrote.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>I remember seeing a short film called Looking for Amitabh&nbsp;on how the visually challenged perceive this icon. From describing his trademark baritone to the sound of his shoes, or the scent of his perfume. We don't even see Mr Bachchan, but we can experience the impact created by this superstar. As a kid, the signature KBC tune meant it was bedtime. My parents would come back from work. And my grandparents would finish up their chores. Despite our diverse interests and age gaps, this one show brought three generations together.</em></p>

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is also known for his style. At the age of 80, Big B stays in the headlines for his unique sense of fashion. Bachchan has been in the industry for more than five decades now and has proven that no one can ace him when it comes to acting, style or charisma. While his talent as an actor is well- known, not much is discussed about his dapper style. Big B can pull off any look with ease. The superstar is back as a host in the latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian adaptation of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Every year, Bachchan's KBC style file garners a lot of attention, whether it's his three-piece suit, neon sneakers with a formal suit, or a bright red jacket. And this year, the veteran's fashion game will be a notch higher with the new theme, Badlaav, or change, for sure! In an exclusive chat with WION, stylist Priya Patil, who is behind Bachchan's show-stopping outfits for the game show for years now, spilled the beans on Big B's elegant looks, the new additions to his KBC wardrobe this year and more. Read the excerpts from our chat below: Q: What is it like to work with the biggest star in India? A: It's overwhelming from A to Z. From beginning to end, Sir [Amitabh Bachchan] is larger than life, he's a legend. It's every designer's wish that they design for Mr Bachchan, and I have been able to do that for so many years. I have never taken it lightly, never taken it for granted. It's always just a pleasure. Q: Styling a megastar comes with huge responsibilities. So, can you please elaborate? A: Yes, because the show is a family show, it’s a dream come true show for every layman. Like your dreams, impossible things become possible. A person comes and sits there, he may not have anything in his pocket, but the next day he becomes a millionaire and has everything. So, It's an overwhelming show, and I think bringing that sort of seriousness to the show is also important. The costume should represent it at some point, so that's what I always try to do, keep it formal, three-piece suits, the bandhgala. You know, and also comfort because Sir [Amitabh Bachchan] sits in the chair for so long, for so many hours, constantly shooting. So comfort has always been a higher priority for me.

A: I'm always giving the theme first, like last year, we were celebrating 75 years of Independence. This year it is 'Badlaav', so I think sometimes Badlaav doesn't have to be drastic, it can be like the smaller things, so Badlaav can come. When I design things, they're always presented first to the channel, then to production. I hear their suggestions as well, of course, and then it's taken to sir (Amitabh Bachchan) also, and he also has his suggestions, and it puts it all together and then see what works for the show. Q: So what's the particular style change we are going to see in this season? A: This season... I'm playing with a lot of colours... so you see like a black, you know, wine put together like a wine-based coat with black, you'll see like a blue with orange, black with white and black checks inside. So, I'm doing a lot of contrast, which you've not seen before. I'm also doing something new on a Jodhpuri. I have a stole that is sort of like a scarf that goes around the neck which is held together by a coach on the Jodhpuri and on a three-piece suit. I have worked with tuxedos with tassels I'm gonna add on the short colours I have, like small piping that I run a small detailing, and then of course, the lapel pins and all of those things. Also, I have some pastels that I'm working with this season. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) × Q: You have worked with Amitabh Bachchan for so many years, so any special moment you will cherish and want to share? A: My first experience was that when I was a show stylist, somebody else was designing him, but I was styling the show. We were first meeting him [Amitabh] to talk about the look and everything and I left my phone behind in his vanity, and then I went back on the set and Sir comes to the set and he's like who's Priya? and then he looks at me and says Priya, you left your keys at home, your mom called. And I was just like, what is going on, how does he know what he said. I have saved my mom's name as ' my darling mom'. So, he saw it and he said, 'I picked it up. I had to pick it up because it was, you know, saved as my darling mom, and so you left your keys at home'. And I was waiting for my trial everything to get done with sir as I wanted to call up my mother, and I remember calling her up, and I said Mom, and she said Oh, Priya did you get the message? I was like yeah but you know from whom? And she's like ... "yeah, a crew member answered the phone, and I told, her, because sir didn't reveal his identity. He said, 'I will give her the message'. I said, 'Mom, it was not a crew member, it was Amitabh Bachchan Ji'.... And she was just shocked, and then she called up my whole family, extended family .... so it's become such a funny story in our family and everybody and my mom laughs about it, and you know, It's funny that that was my first interaction with sir. Q: If I ask you about Amitabh Bachchan's style file, what do you think he prefers, like wearing a 3-piece suit, a formal or traditional look, or going with a casual look? A: I think he carries off everything. I love Sir in hoodies, personally, all of these fresh and fun things that he is constantly wearing. I think, and then, like I said, he is such a style icon. He doesn't make it look boring. With Sir, it is like, he makes everything look fresh and like you're seeing it for the first time when someone is wearing it. You know the three-piece suit is so classic on him. I think yes, I can define it, like classic elegance with him, and yet he keeps everything fun and fresh. So, I love Sir personally in the three-piece suit and bandhgala, but then you know suddenly wearing the hoodies and the fun bumper jackets, and that's a whole different thing, so I like them both.

EXCLUSIVE | Meet Priya Patil, the designer behind Amitabh Bachchan's dapper Kaun Banega Crorepati looks

<p>Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has claimed that Hindi cinema's storytelling witnessed a downfall after Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan started making films. Agnihotri spoke to DNA recently where he claimed that cinema in India went through a downfall after 1988 - the year Amitabh Bachchan's <em>Shahenshah</em> was released.<br />
<br />
Agnihotri accused SRK and KJo who have worked on several films together, of damaging India's cultural fabric in a very dangerous way.</p>

<h2><strong>Vivek Agnihotri's remark&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>“After the advent of Amitabh Bachchan as a superstar – not the one from <em>Deewar</em> but one from <em>Shehanshah</em> – the cinema after that never told real stories. Especially Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s cinema, which has actually damaged the cultural fabric of India in a very disastrous way. So, I felt it was important to tell real, honest stories," Vivek said.<br />
<br />
Agnihotri has made films like <em>Chocolate, The Tashkent Files</em> and <em>The Kashmir Files.</em></p>

<h2><strong>Reactions to Vivek's statement&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Many internet users responded to Vivek's controversial remark. One referred to him as Mr Kangana, the male counterpart of Kangana Ranaut, who has been accusing Karan Johar of ruining Bollywood for years. Another user directed his comment towards the director of <em>The Kashmir Files,</em> “Oh... The Irony here!!”</p>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan is considered a living legend of Indian cinema. In his illustrious career of over five decades, Bachchan has been part of several iconic films including <em>Sholay, Deewar, Zanjeer </em>among others. Shah Rukh Khan too is considered a huge star in India and has been part of iconic films like <em>Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Pathaan</em> and <em>Chak De! India</em> to name a few. Khan is often dubbed as the Indian Tom Cruise and enjoys a massive fan following just like Bachchan. The two have collaborated on several films together including Karan Johar's <em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham </em>which was a top grosser in 2001. Johar is one of the biggest filmmakers of the country and has directed and produced several blockbuster films in his nearly three-decade-long career.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite all the challenges and hurdles, Bachchan teaches Anina to play with her left hand. In the trailer, we also got a glimpse of actor Angad Bedi, who is playing the love interest of Saiyami, and Shabana Azmi, who is playing the role of her mother. Amitabh Bachchan also has a cameo in the film.</p>

<h2><strong>The inspiring story of Ghoomer&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The sports drama&nbsp;is directed by R Balki, known for films such as <em>Cheeni Kum, Ki and Ka&nbsp;</em>and <em>Pad Man</em> among others. The film is inspired by the life of Karoly Takacs, a late Hungarian shooter, who won two Olympic gold medals with his left hand after his right hand was injured</p>

<p>He told PTI at the 53rd International Film Festival of India, “I suggested let’s make it a cricket film rather than a shooting film as people will take a lot of time to understand (the sport).” The movie is co-written by &nbsp;Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani.</p>

<p><em>Ghoomer </em>will release on August 18.</p>

<p>Reacting to his role, the actor-politician said, ''50 years back, when I was a dance assistant and an assistant director the name Ashwini Dutt loomed large in the production sector. Both of us are coming together after 50 years. A brilliant director from our next generation is at the helm. My co-stars Mr. Prabhas and Ms. Deepika are also of that generation. I have worked with Amit Ji before. Yet every time it feels like the first time. Amit Ji keeps reinventing himself. I am also emulating that inventive process. I am eagerly waiting for <em>Project K</em>. Whatever position the audience places me at, my primary quality is that I am a film buff. That quality will keep me applauding any new attempt in my industry. Let mine be the first applause for <em>Project K</em>. With our director Nag Ashwin’s vision I am sure that applause will echo across our country and the world of cinema.''</p>

<p>Ashwin's pan-Indian film will be high on action and VFX. The film has been made on a sprawling budget.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Multiple reports have suggested that many prolific Hollywood action directors have been hired. The movie will hit theatres in January 2024.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the film's shoot has been delayed after Big B got injured on the Hyderabad set of the movie. The 80-year-old actor suffered a muscle tear.&nbsp;</p>

They are putting no pressure on Bachchan Saab to resume shooting. They will wait for as long as it takes. But it is unlikely now that <em>Project K</em> will make its January 2024 release date."</p>

<p>Actress Diana Penty recently finished filming the courtroom drama film Section 84. In a lengthy note shared on Thursday, Diana shared her experience of working on the project alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Nimrat Kaur, and Abhishek Banerjee. She expressed her excitement about working with Amitabh Bachchan for the first time and acknowledged how nervous she was before the venture started. The Cocktail star revealed that the shooting of Section 84 turned out to be one of the "most enriching experiences" of her career. She described working with Amitabh Bachchan as "witnessing a masterclass," where he allowed her to truly "be" in a scene and gave her the space to explore her craft.</p>

Diana Penty Shares BTS pictures of 'Section 84'</h2>

<p>Diana Penty posted a series of behind-the-scenes pictures on Instagram featuring herself posing with the star cast. The first picture showcased her alongside Amitabh Bachchan, holding a clapboard. Another photo captured her with Nimrat Kaur and Abhishek Banerjee. The remaining pictures showed Diana enjoying her time on the shooting sets inside her vanity van.</p>

<p>The actress also expressed her joy at finally getting the opportunity to bond with Nimrat and Abhishek on set. She expressed her gratitude to director Ribhu Dasgupta for orchestrating everything beautifully. Diana Penty also humorously thanked him for ensuring they were well-fed on set.</p>

<p>"And, it’s a WRAP. On what has been an incredibly special journey for me. Before we began shooting #Section84, I was beyond excited to be working with @amitabhbachchan for the first time, but also so damn nervous!! But now that we’ve been through a film together I can safely say, it has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. As an actor, I finally know what it means to ‘BE’ in a scene. Mr. Bachchan allows you to do that and gives you space to do so much more. Watching and observing him is like witnessing a masterclass," Diana Penty wrote.</p>

She expressed her gratitude to director Ribhu Dasgupta for orchestrating everything beautifully. Diana Penty also humorously thanked him for ensuring they were well-fed on set. "And, it’s a WRAP. On what has been an incredibly special journey for me. Before we began shooting #Section84, I was beyond excited to be working with @amitabhbachchan for the first time, but also so damn nervous!! But now that we’ve been through a film together I can safely say, it has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. As an actor, I finally know what it means to ‘BE’ in a scene. Mr. Bachchan allows you to do that and gives you space to do so much more. Watching and observing him is like witnessing a masterclass," Diana Penty wrote.

<p>Amitabh Bachchan, at 80, is perhaps the most active celebrity on social media. He never misses a chance to connect with his fans on social media platforms and is known to be an avid internet user. His recent post on Instagram is bound to put a smile on your face.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Monday, the superstar shared a throwback photo of himself and called himself a robot. The photo has a relatively young Big B, dressed in a printed shirt and white trousers seated on a couch, looking at the camera. The photo has the actor looking dashing but Bachchan thinks he looks like an "AI (artificial intelligence) robot'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sharing the photo, Big B wrote, “Hahaha!!! What a great photo opd clean-up edited job done (sic)… by whoever sent me this…making me look an AI robot!!! Hahaha (laughing emojis).”</p>

<p>Actor Rohit Bose Roy reacted to the photo and said, “The man, the legend, the God of all he surveys, the image I grew up to and decided to become an actor!! Amit ji, uffff. Missing the table tennis days! I think we should start again! Best days ever! Love you.”<br />

Interestingly, this isn't the first time Amitabh Bachchan has shared a photo of himself with an AI twist. Last month, he shared this AI-generated picture of himself made on the basis of just his voice sample. Big B wrote, “Errr… this formed by AI by just my voice…just my voice sample…no wonder then that the head of the supreme tech resigns, for fear of what AI will do in the years ahead.”</p>

Amitabh Bachchan, at 80, is perhaps the most active celebrity on social media. He never misses a chance to connect with his fans on social media platforms and is known to be an avid internet user. His recent post on Instagram is bound to put a smile on your face. On Monday, the superstar shared a throwback photo of himself and called himself a robot. The photo has a relatively young Big B, dressed in a printed shirt and white trousers seated on a couch, looking at the camera. The photo has the actor looking dashing but Bachchan thinks he looks like an "AI (artificial intelligence) robot'. Sharing the photo, Big B wrote, “Hahaha!!! What a great photo opd clean-up edited job done (sic)… by whoever sent me this…making me look an AI robot!!! Hahaha (laughing emojis).” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) × Actor Rohit Bose Roy reacted to the photo and said, “The man, the legend, the God of all he surveys, the image I grew up to and decided to become an actor!! Amit ji, uffff. Missing the table tennis days! I think we should start again! Best days ever! Love you.” Interestingly, this isn't the first time Amitabh Bachchan has shared a photo of himself with an AI twist. Last month, he shared this AI-generated picture of himself made on the basis of just his voice sample. Big B wrote, “Errr… this formed by AI by just my voice…just my voice sample…no wonder then that the head of the supreme tech resigns, for fear of what AI will do in the years ahead.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amitabh Bachchan (@amitabhbachchan) × Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Sooraj Barjatya's Uunchai which co-starred Parineeti Chopra, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta, Sarika, and Danny Denzongpa.

<p>Amitabh Bachchan is an ardent social media user and has a habit of continuously updating his fans. However, in a hurry to post things, Big B has many times become the target of trolls, who were quick to take a jibe at his hilarious yet horrible mistakes. However, recently, he again repeated his old habit, but this time, the veteran was quick to offer his apologies.</p>

<h2>Big B's apology</h2>

<p>Bachchan apologised for making a glaring error in his recent tweet. On Sunday, the actor addressed his tweet in which he mentioned a song ''Blowin' in the Wind''. However, the error he made was that he mentioned in his tweet that&nbsp;the song is by the Beatles, but the hit track&nbsp;is actually&nbsp;by the singer Bob Dylan.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Calling himself an Idiot, Bachchan wrote in his blog post, ''Oh dear .. left very early for work and have had to time to meet the Ef here .. and I am desperately trying to finish the work so I can be at the GOJ in time ..But before that, a correction .. my apologies .. and my gratitude to the most efficient Ef for pointing it out to me."</p>

<p>He also added, "The 'the answer my friends is blowing in the wind …' is NOT the Beatles .. its Bob Dylan .. yes of course .. such an idiot I am .. so do excuse the error .. shall correct it immediately .. till then my love."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The song is from Bob Dylan's 1963 album ''The Freewheelin.''</p>

<h2>Amitabh's original tweet</h2>

<p>On Saturday, the <em>Bhootnath</em> actor tweeted, "There are moments in life when you give .. give because you wish to .. no compulsion, no reward expected, no reason .. just to give ..Do I do wrong .. do I announce .. do I make that public .. do I seek aggrandisement from the others or the moral social attribute givers of the Universe .. ? ''The answer my friend is written in the Wind .. the answer is written in the Wind~ the Beatles (he struck off the two words) an atrocious error .. ~ its BOB DYLAN !!!!!"</p>

<p>He wrote in the tweet further, "And so in this realm of uncertainty and resolve .. we survive .. and see the unfortunate that do not .. puzzled and remorse .. why they .. how they .. why the lag the difference the defined alienation .. they did some wrong .. the others did some right .. ? who decided that for them and who for the others .. ?"</p>

<p>However, this is not the first time the actor has been trolled for his social media post.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>On the work front&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan is currently working on <em>Project K </em>co-starring Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. Helmed by Nag Ashwin, the movie&nbsp;is expected to release&nbsp;in two parts. The first part of the film will reportedly release in 2024.</p>
