<p>It’s the Badshah’s birthday today! Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan turns a year older today on November 2.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While he’s busy with the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) that is currently going on in UAE, Shah Rukh Khan's birthday plans are quite different this year amid pandemic.</p>

<p>While his&nbsp;fans would&nbsp;gather around his house&nbsp;to catch a glimpse of the actor every year on his birthday, it seems impossible that they can keep up with the tradition this year.&nbsp;Keeping COVID-19 in mind, Shah Rukh has asked his fans to not come to see him outside his Mumbai mansion Mannat.</p>

<p>As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, a fan club of Shah Rukh is all set to use technology to enjoy Mannat Darshan this year on the superstar's birthday. Globally anyone can join the celebrations. They also hope that Shah Rukh Khan can make it to the virtual meet.</p>

<p>Shah Rukh Khan had recently when he took to his Twitter for AskSRK round, written: "Iss baar ka pyaar thoda door se yaar."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Please I recommend nobody should collect in crowds. My birthday or wherever!" he added.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-this-is-what-shah-rukh-khan-replied-when-asked-if-he-plans-on-selling-mumbai-mansion-mannat-338378">This is what Shah Rukh Khan replied when asked if he plans on selling Mumbai mansion Mannat</a></p>

<p>Shah Rukh Khan chatted with his fans on social media on Tuesday and something very quirky happened.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As part of the regular ‘Ask SRK’ session, a user asked Shah Rukh if he had ever planned to sell his house Mannat, his Mumbai mansion? "Bhai Mannat bechne wale ho kya?" asked the fan. Shah Rukh Khan gave an epic reply and he wrote: "Bhai Mannat bikti nahi sar jhuka kar maangi jaati hai....Yaad rakhoge toh life mein kuch paa sakogay. (Mannat is never sold, it is asked for... If you remember this, you'll achieve something in life)."</p>

<p>The pandemic has delayed Akshay Kumar starrer 'Sooryavanshi' yet again. The superstar's film, which has been helmed by Rohit Shetty, was first scheduled to release in March this year but cinema halls were shutdown as the Indian government announced nationwide lockdown.<br />
<br />
It was later announced that the film would be getting a theatrical release during Diwali, However, it was announced on Thursday that the film will be releasing during the festival time. The film has been co-produced by Reliance Studio and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.<br />
<br />
The studio had announced in June this year that the film will hit the theatres on Diwali, while their another release Ranveer Singh's '83' will arrive on Christmas.<br />
<br />
Though the theatres are still shut across the country, they are expected to reopen from October 15 after the Union Home Ministry permitted cinemas and multiplexes to resume operations with up to 50 per cent of their seating capacity.<br />
<br />
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting will be issuing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for cinemas soon.<br />
CEO of Reliance Entertainment Shibashish Sarkar is happy with the government's decision but he is still unsure whether all the theatres will be operational by October 15.<br />
<br />
Given the uncertainty, Sarkar said it is not practically possible to release 'Sooryavanshi' on Diwali.<br />
<br />
"One thing is clear, we are not releasing any film on Diwali. No other decision has been taken. It is not possible to release a film on Diwali now. As of now, all cinema houses are not opening from October 15. Even if it opens on November 1, how can you release a film in 10 or 15 days notice period?" he told a news agency.<br />
<br />
He said the makers are yet to take a call on the new release date of the Rohit Shetty-directed film.<br />
<br />
"We are not sure whether we will change both 'Sooryavanshi' or '83' or we will just shift one film. It is definitely clear December to March is the time (to release films), this is the realistic timeline," he added.<br />
<br />
'Sooryavanshi' is the third film in Shetty's cop universe after Ajay Devgn's 'Singham' and Ranveer Singh-starrer 'Simmba'. The film also features Katrina Kaif and Devgn and Singh have cameo appearances.<br />
<br />
The film is presented by Reliance Entertainment and produced by Rohit Shetty Picturez in association with Dharma Productions and Cape of Good Films.</p>

Alia Bhatt wishes beau Ranbir Kapoor with adorable post on Instagram

<p>Hailed as an aboriginal sci-fi drama that answers and questions simultaneously about concepts of after-life, hell-heaven, reincarnation, Netflix’s ‘Cargo’ has piqued the interest of many. Liked for its authenticity and not-seen-before treatment of a concept that is usually dealt with the prism of mysticism, director Arati Kadav’s honest approach has found its place on the trending list since its premiere on the streaming channel on September 9.</p>

<p>Talking to WION on her vision behind the film that stars Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi in pivotal roles, Arati Kadav opens up about experimenting with her films, love for the science fiction genre and more.</p>

<p>“I am a crazy sci-fi fan” is how Arati started the conversation as she mentioned how she “lives in a separate universe” as she envisions projects like ‘Cargo’ that is now on Netflix after having travelled to international film festivals for more than a year. “I have only been consuming science fiction, reading and listening to science fiction podcasts for the last 6-7 years,” said Arati as she discussed writing the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Arati Kadav was certain she wanted to make a science fiction and so before ‘Cargo’ took shape, she was going to make a superhero sci-fi but it didn’t materialise because of lack of resources. ‘Cargo’ became possible when she got access to a studio where she could make her spaceship as she knew she definitely wanted one in her film. Shweta Tripathi and Vikrant Massey were then roped in. Shweta happened first as she came visiting her one day with a friend and as the actress was working with Vikrant while&nbsp;they filmed for ‘Mirzapur’, Arati knew she had got her Prahastha and Yuvishka (demon god who handled the souls of dead people and his assistant) in Vikrant and Shweta.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meet-erica-hollywood-sci-fi-films-lead-actress-that-is-an-ai-robot-308861">Meet Erica, Hollywood sci-fi film's lead actress that is an AI robot</a></p>

<p>“When Shweta came to my house one day, I realised she is an actress and very good at it. I always found her work good but she’s also technically solid and understands philosophy really well. First I got her in. I wooed her by writing the character's name as Shweta. She was shooting with Vikrant for ‘Mirzapur’. So I approached him for this. I feel he’s the next superstar. I had been following his work,” said Arati.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Elaborating how the idea struck to her, she said, “In Africa, Japan, China, India -- every religion has an after-life myth because it helps you to make sense of the life you're living so I thought to myself ‘why not make a film around that and upgrade our myth’. Every generation leaves a story for the next. The last afterlife myth is that of Yamraj which was written 10,000 years ago.”</p>

<p>“Inspiration came from real life. I was in immigration office in Japan when I observed how all of us were standing tired in a queue so it was almost like not just our suitcases were on the conveyor belt but also us.”</p>

<p>As the film deals with the myths of after-life, the concept of hell-heaven is also explored. Does Arati not believe in it in real life? “I don't believe in any of that. My family is religious and I am personally influenced by Buddhist philosophies in general but I do also believe in chaos theory. There is nothing that happens post-death. We are trying to overvalue our lives. I feel that regardless of what you believe, if you arrive at the fact that you have to be a good person then it's okay. All religions are basically encouraging you to be a good person. I know that this is a story and stories are such powerful things. We all chose stories that we believe in,” she said.</p>

<p>With much talk around the novelty of the idea, Arati is happy that it has started a new conversation -- of females in this space. “Females dont dont fit the mythology of a director, forget about them fitting the mythology of science-fiction directors. I just feel it is very nice. When a woman makes a sci-fi and if you are reaching both genders via your story, that’s powerful.”</p>

<p>"The film has extreme reactions. It was anyway meant for 10% people and those people who are liking the film, they do it because they understand the philosophy that goes behind the film,” said Arati.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film is produced by Arati Kadav, Shlok Sharma, Navin Shetty, and Anurag Kashyap. The movie is a production of Fundamental Pictures and Electric Films. Vikramaditya Motwane is the executive producer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In what can be termed as a casting coup of sorts, Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has joined the cast of upcoming period drama 'Adipurush'. The film stars Telugu superstar Prabhas in the lead role.<br />
<br />
Directed by Om Raut, the three-part series is reportedly based on the epic Ramayan. While Prabhas will play Lord Ram, Saif Ali Khan has been cast to play the character of Lankesh which is inspired from the character Raavan.<br />
<br />
The announcement of Saif Ali Khan joining the cast was made by Raut himself on social media. Raut took to Twitter and wrote, “7000 years ago existed the world’s most intelligent demon! #Adipurush” (sic).</p>

Directed by Om Raut, the three-part series is reportedly based on the epic Ramayan.

<p>Breaking her silence for the first time since Sushant Singh Rajput's death in June, actress Rhea Chakraborty addressed all the accusations levied against her in a tell-all interview to a TV channel.<br />
<br />
Rhea along with her family members has been accused of abetment of suicide and misappropriating Rajput's wealth by the actor's family.<br />
<br />
Denying charges of taking Rs 15 crores from Sushant, Rhea spoke in detail about the now controversial Europe trip that the couple had gone on in the summer of 2019. Rhea said she was set to go to Paris on a professional assignment and it was in fact Rajput's idea to extend it and make it a Europe trip. According to Rhea, Rajput cancelled the tickets booked by the company that was sponsoring her trip. She said her brother joined them in Italy at the insistence of the late actor.<br />
"He paid for the rest of the trip and the hotels. He wanted to and I didn't have a problem with that. I had a problem with how much he was spending. But Sushant lived king-size, he was like that," she said, adding that the actor once went on a trip to Thailand with his friends and spent "Rs 70 lakh on that vacation."<br />
<br />
"These were his lifestyle choices. Who are we to say how Sushant should live his life? He lived like a star, he loved it. It was his choice to take those men on that trip, did they also force him? No, I was not living off Sushant Singh Rajput's money. We were living like a couple, she said in the interview.<br />
<br />
Asked about why her brother Showik joined them on their Europe trip, Chakraborty said all three of them had formed an artificial intelligence company called Rhealytix, which was named after her and invested Rs 33,000 each in the firm.<br />
When Rhea was asked why she did not make it to his funeral, the actress said she was not on the list attendees for his funeral as "his family members don't like me."<br />
<br />
Chakraborty said she wanted to attend the funeral but dropped the idea at the suggestion of her friends as the family did not want her there.<br />
<br />
Chakraborty said two of her friends told her to see his body to get closure. She said she saw Rajput's body for three-four seconds 'said sorry and touched his feet'.<br />
<br />
"Yes, I said 'Sorry babu'. When you see a dead person, what else will you say? I said sorry as he was no more. When you love someone and they die, you say sorry. Sorry that you aren't here. Sorry that a joke has been made out of your death," she said.<br />
<br />
Asked about allegations that she was controlling Rajput's lifestyle and staff, Chakraborty rubbished them as 'baseless' and most of the staff were either hired by Rajput and his sister Priyanka.<br />
<br />
Asked when she got to know about Rajput's mental condition or the fact that he was bipolar, Chakraborty said it was during their Europe trip.<br />
<br />
Rajput, she was told, used to get claustrophobic during flights and took medicines.<br />
<br />
"We landed in Paris first and he didn't come out of his room for the first three days. I wondered what the matter was. He was so excited that we will go to Paris so that no one recognises him. So that he could show me his real self which was his fun nature. That he could walk on the streets, something which he could not do in India.<br />
<br />
"But he didn't come out of his room. He was much better when we went to Switzerland next. He was high on energy and he had started getting out, he was happy," she said.<br />
<br />
The actor said when they went to Italy, they stayed in a gothic hotel and had "weird dome-like structure and strange photos."<br />
<br />
Chakraborty talked about checking out "but he didn't listen to me."<br />
<br />
"After that, his condition started getting worse little by little. He didn't want to come out of the room on the whole trip. I talked to him and he told me that he had an episode of depression in 2013," he said.<br />
<br />
"Then he told me everything, that he was better after meeting the psychiatrist. He used to get anxiety attacks many times. But he had started feeling more depressed and worried. So we had to cut our trip short. If your partner is not feeling well, what else will you do? You'll come back," she said.<br />
<br />
Chakraborty said her 'media trial' was a 'witch hunt'.<br />
<br />
"Loving someone has become the most wanted crime," she said, adding that she now just wanted to take a 'deep breath' and have a normal day with her family where someone is not facing an anxiety attack.<br />
<br />
"This is a conspiracy to break me, my family."<br />
<br />
Chakraborty also claimed that Rajput did not share a good relationship with his father KK Singh.<br />
<br />
Referring to her July 16 post on Instagram where she had tagged Home Minister Amit Shah, requesting for a CBI inquiry, Chakraborty said she had cooperated with the Mumbai Police and was doing the same with the Enforcement Directorate and CBI.<br />
<br />
"Am I not allowed to prove my innocence?" Chakraborty asked, adding that all kinds of stories were being made about her. Rhea had left Sushant's house on June 8 and the actor died by suicide on June 14. Avoiding to call it a suicide or a murder, the actress said even she wanted to know what transpired in four days that Rajput decided to take such a drastic step.<br />
<br />
When she was asked if she, now on the hindsight regretted ever meeting Sushant Singh Rajput in her life, Rhea said "No, despite what I and my family are going through I don't regret meeting him or falling in love. His love is giving me the strength to fight back and speak the truth."</p>

Rhea Chakraborty breaks her silence over Sushant Singh Rajput case, says she was not living off his money

<p>Remember the days when the role of a heroine's father was limited to marry her off, kidnap or beat up the hero, lock her up or make her realise that her actions are critically scrutinised by society? Well, clearly the '90s was a different era and in 2020, looks like the Hindi film industry is making the audience familiar with a different kind of a patriarch. A father who is vulnerable, soft, and kind towards his daughter; a father who fights with his daughter for her own ambition; a father who is in support of his daughter's every decision and gives her freedom to make her own choices in life; a father who is close to the figure you and I have in the house.</p>

<p><strong>'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl' and 'Dangal'</strong></p>

<p>After watching Gunjan Saxena recently, I couldn't help but relate to the sensitivity with which the bond between the father and the dreamy daughter was depicted. How being a patriarch, and a part of the rigid defence forces, paved the way for his daughter whose only aim was to fly in the air. Unfortunately, he does see a disappointment in his son, who despite having a feminist role model at home, falls into the pit of patriarchy. He is the wind beneath Gunjan's wings, he never overpowers her narrative or forces her to follow her dreams, but gives a polite nudge in the direction where she wants to be. Just the 'kind motivation' you need.<br />
<br />
<img alt="g" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b97bc811-f8a1-47ba-a281-016a64aaad3d" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%289%29.jpg" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;In comparison, one can say 'Dangal's' Mahavir Singh Phogat's tough feminist walked so that Anup Saxena of 'Gunjan Saxena' could run. Unlike Saxena, Phogat walked a thin line of imposing his ambition on his daughters and thus forcing them to find happiness in a path that he carved and desired for them. He used the trope of the imbibed cultural notion of 'parents know the best' with 'daughters are no less' and gave the perception that appeared like feminism but lacked depth. Nonetheless, what he lacks, was taken up and polished by Anup Saxena.</p>

<p><strong>'Thappad' and 'Kya Kehna'</strong></p>

<p>Another film in 2020 that made headlines for its progressive approach was Anubhav Sinha's 'Thappad', the beautifully crafted film showed a very sentimental father (played brilliantly by Kumud Mishra) standing side-by-side with his daughter as she discovered her worth in a 'happy marriage' after an unfortunate incident. He is the father who would've given his '90s counterpart a heart attack. He is unapologetic, holds the husband responsible and reminds Amrita of building a life which she gave up on her own post-marriage. Again, in no way is he dramatic about what happened, doesn't go and slap the husband for mistreating his daughter or goes to the police to file the complaint. He just gives Amrita space and support, like an adult, to figure out her decision.<br />
<br />
<img alt="k" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="801e811e-d381-4522-b36e-1d70dbb5e231" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%2810%29.jpg" /></p>

<p>Similarly, ‘Kya Kehna's Gulshan Baxi, embodied the character of a somewhat supportive father. Though initially, he does dismiss his unmarried daughter for being pregnant, runs to the boy's house to plead him to accept his daughter and the unborn child and thinks about '<em>samaj kya kahega</em>', but learns to accept his daughter's bold decision eventually, gives her space and comfort and becomes her home during the tumultuous time. He gave an empty structure to 'Thappad's' Sachin Sandhu, which the latter filled with a better conscious and correct approach</p>

<p><strong>'Angrezi Medium' and 'Akele Hum, Akele Tum'</strong></p>

<p>The third film which beautifully embodied the banter-esque relationship between a father and a daughter is the late Irrfan Khan-starrer 'Angrezi Medium'. The heartfelt film sees Tarika Bansal (played by Radhika Madan) dreaming about studying in London and his father Champak Bansal (played by Irrfan Khan) going to great lengths to make his daughter's dream a reality. He sells off his legacy to see her daughter fulfil her dream, his daughter's dream becomes his own and he embodies the image of a sacrificial parent, normally associated with the mothers in Hindi cinema.</p>

<p>Another single dad who sheds the expectations of the society and dedicates his life solely to his child is Rohit Kumar from 'Akele Hum Akele Tum' (played by Aamir Khan). Now calling Rohit a feminist wouldn't be right as he struggles with his wife's decision to leave the family to pursue her dream, but he did shatter the expected mould of a rigid father when he gets down to the nuances of caretaking. Now the term, 'benevolent sexism' is apt for the imagery of fatherhood showcased in the film, where the mere task of being there for his son in absence of his mother is seen as empathy and 'path-breaking' for a father to do. However, considering the time, Rohit did form a loose structure, nurtured, strengthened and taken to a progressive front by Champak Bansal in Angrezi Medium.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>While motherhood has been constructed and reconstructed several times in Hindi Cinema, right from the '50s ('Mother India', 'Aradhana' and more), when it comes to father, the deconstruction of the image has always been scattered and rare. Post-2010 has seen films like 'Dil Dhadhkne Do', 'Piku' and more where fathers break the stereotypes essayed by the likes of Alok Nath and Amrish Puri (and no in-betweens). Unlike mothers, the interpretation of fathers' role is often if not only, seemed limited to a child's career or upholding of social expectations. What binds the three father-daughter films released this year is the sentiment of remorse and apologetic approach by the father towards the years of suppression faced by the women of the household. In all three films, fathers at some point tell their daughters about the role of their mothers and how they killed their dreams in order to be the perfect wives and mothers according to the patriarchy. Now, this is no coincidence that all three films have been directed by men and if the men in the director's chair are making a conscious effort to get into the root cause of everyday household patriarchy and aiming to change the system, something good is brewing in the heart of the industry.</p>

<p>Here's an ode to on-screen fathers who resemble our own old men in the house, cheering, supporting and bantering with their daughters and treating them as individuals rather than the custodian of their and their families' '<em>izzat</em> and <em>maryada'.</em></p>

<p>Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife Aaliya has revealed more details about their troubled marriage in a new interview.<br />
<br />
While speaking to Pinkvilla, Aaaliya accused Nawazuddin of infidelity and stated that he was seeing other women even while they were dating.<br />
<br />
“I remember it very clearly that even when we were dating and were about to get married, he was already in a relationship with someone else. We used to fight a lot before and after marriage as well. When I was pregnant, I had to drive all by myself for check-ups. My doctor used to tell me that I’m mad and I’m the first lady who’s come alone for delivery. When my labour pain started, Nawaz and his parents were there. But when I was in pain, my husband was not with me. He was talking to his girlfriend on phone. I knew everything because there used to be itemised statement of phone bills.”<br />
<br />
Aaliya revealed that often, Nawazuddin's brother Shamas would come and complain about him to her. "Shamas gave the phone bills to me. He used to talk to girls for three-four years. I have stayed with him for six years and he didn’t have the emotion even when I was going through my first delivery. These were the small reasons why I decided to leave him. After delivery when I came home, I’m told that there are girls who have stayed at my place when I wasn’t there. I used to get know about all his relationships from his brother. He used to share all his private details. I couldn’t tell Nawaz that Shamas told me all this. But we would keep fighting."<br />
<br />
Aaliya filed for divorce on May 6, and Nawaz’s lawyer has said that the actor responded on May 15.<br />
<br />
Nawaz’s lawyer, Adnan Sheikh earlier said that the actor had responded to the divorce filing well within the time. The lawyer said that Aaliya has constructed a ‘slander campaign’ in the media against the actor.</p>

Sushant Singh Rajput case: Sanjay Leela Bhansali questioned by Mumbai police

<p>Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit shared a special bond with ace choreographer Saroj Khan. The veteran choreographer was instrumental in directing some of Madhuri's most iconic songs of the 1990s. From her first smash hit 'Ek Do Teen' to 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga', Madhuri Dixit and Saroj Khan's collaborations were always the high points of any film.<br />
<br />
On Friday, as Khan breathed her last, the actress termed the loss as 'devastating'.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/remembering-masterji-saroj-khan-from-dhak-dhak-to-ek-do-teen-her-iconic-bollywood-songs-310340">Also see: Remembering Masterji Saroj Khan: From Dhak Dhak to Ek Do Teen, her iconic Bollywood songs</a></strong><br />
<br />
Madhuri Dixit took to Twitter to mourn the loss of her guru and friend Saroj Khan and wrote, "I'm devastated by the loss of my friend and guru, Saroj Khan. Will always be grateful for her work in helping me reach my full potential in dance. The world has lost an amazingly talented person. I will miss you My sincere condolences to the family. #RIPSarojji"</p>

<p>In 2019 IIFA awards, the actress had also honoured the veteran choreographer with the Lifetime achievement award and performed to a medley of the duo's hit number as a tribute to Khan.</p>

Madhuri Dixit on Saroj Khan's death: Devastated by the loss of my friend and guru

<p>Just weeks before her debut film 'Dil Bechara' was to premiere on Disney + Hotstar, newcomer Sanjana Sanghi on Wednesday hinted at leaving Mumbai and shifting her base to Delhi permanently. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Tuesday Sanjana was called in for interrogation by the Mumbai police. A day later, Sanjana shared a photo of herself in what seemed like the airport and bid goodbye to Mumbai city where she was based while shooting for Mukesh Chhabra's film 'Dil Bechara'. A remake fo Hollywood film 'The Fault In Our Stars' the film is Sushant Singh Rajput's last film.<br />
<br />
Sanjana wrote a cryptic note along with her selfie, hinting that she may never return to Mumbai. "<em>Khuda hafiz, Mumbai. Chaar mahine baad apke darshan hue. Main chali Delhi vaapis. Aapki sadke kuch alag si lagi, sunsaan thi, shayaad mere dil mein jo dukh hai, mere nazariye ko badal rahe hain, ya shayaad filhaal aap bhi thode dukh mein hain</em> (Bye, Mumbai. It took me four months to see you. I'm going back to Delhi. Your streets seemed a little different, they were empty. Perhaps the sadness in my heart is changing my viewpoint, or perhaps you are also in pain)," read her post.<br />
She ended the note with, "<em>Milte hain? Jaldi. Ya shayad, nahi </em>(See you... soon... or may be not)."<br />
<br />
On Thursday, though, Sanjana issued a clarification and stated that her post had been misconstrued and that she was not saying goodbye to Mumbai permanently. "Did not mean any kind of "bidding adieu" forever- not to Mumbai, not to anything else," Sanjana wrote.<br />
<br />
"I've been back home in Delhi since February throughout lockdown!" added Sanjana and said that her bidding goodbye to Mumbai was only till the COVID situation improved in the city.</p>

<p><img alt="sanjana" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="154fbb56-e407-4d1a-86e0-0c4c3f9bf993" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Sanjana%20Sanghi%20Instagram.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Sanjana was first seen in Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Rockstar'. She has also featured in numerous advertisements over the years.<br />
<br />
Sanjana was questioned by the police in relation to #MeToo allegations which had alleged that Rajput had harassed the young actress on the sets of 'Dil Bechara'. Sanjana had gone on record to deny the incident and clear Rajput's name from the controversy back in 2018. On Wednesday too she reportedly denied making complaints about the late actor's behaviour.</p>

<p>Post Rajput's untimely death, Sanjana has shared heartwrenching tributes for her co-star on her Instagram page.<br />
Fans had demanded a theatrical release of 'Dil Bechara' but the makers decided to give the film a digital release instead. The film will be available to non-subscribers of the OTT platform as well.</p>


Just weeks before her debut film 'Dil Bechara' was to premiere on Disney + Hotstar, newcomer Sanjana Sanghi on Wednesday hinted at leaving Mumbai and shifting her base to Delhi permanently.

Just weeks before her debut film 'Dil Bechara' was to premiere on Disney + Hotstar, newcomer Sanjana Sanghi on Wednesday hinted at leaving Mumbai and shifting her base to Delhi permanently. On Tuesday Sanjana was called in for interrogation by the Mumbai police. A day later, Sanjana shared a photo of herself in what seemed like the airport and bid goodbye to Mumbai city where she was based while shooting for Mukesh Chhabra's film 'Dil Bechara'. A remake fo Hollywood film 'The Fault In Our Stars' the film is Sushant Singh Rajput's last film. Sanjana wrote a cryptic note along with her selfie, hinting that she may never return to Mumbai. "Khuda hafiz, Mumbai. Chaar mahine baad apke darshan hue. Main chali Delhi vaapis. Aapki sadke kuch alag si lagi, sunsaan thi, shayaad mere dil mein jo dukh hai, mere nazariye ko badal rahe hain, ya shayaad filhaal aap bhi thode dukh mein hain (Bye, Mumbai. It took me four months to see you. I'm going back to Delhi. Your streets seemed a little different, they were empty. Perhaps the sadness in my heart is changing my viewpoint, or perhaps you are also in pain)," read her post. She ended the note with, "Milte hain? Jaldi. Ya shayad, nahi (See you... soon... or may be not)." On Thursday, though, Sanjana issued a clarification and stated that her post had been misconstrued and that she was not saying goodbye to Mumbai permanently. "Did not mean any kind of "bidding adieu" forever- not to Mumbai, not to anything else," Sanjana wrote. "I've been back home in Delhi since February throughout lockdown!" added Sanjana and said that her bidding goodbye to Mumbai was only till the COVID situation improved in the city. Sanjana was first seen in Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Rockstar'. She has also featured in numerous advertisements over the years. Sanjana was questioned by the police in relation to #MeToo allegations which had alleged that Rajput had harassed the young actress on the sets of 'Dil Bechara'. Sanjana had gone on record to deny the incident and clear Rajput's name from the controversy back in 2018. On Wednesday too she reportedly denied making complaints about the late actor's behaviour.

Sushant Singh Rajput's 'Dil Bechara' co-star Sanjana Sanghi is not leaving Mumbai permanently

<p>Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death has once again led to debate and discussion around nepotism in Bollywood. Angry fans of Rajput have accused filmmakers Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra of giving preference to star-kids over outsiders with real talent.<br />
<br />
Actor Saif Ali Khan, son of Bollywood veteran Sharmila Tagore and former Indian cricket team captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi has weighed in on the ongoing debate around nepotism.<br />
<br />
The actor, in an interview to a daily, admitted to the inequalities that exist in the film industry and said, "There is inequality in India that needs to be explored. Nepotism, favoritism and camps are different subjects. Even I have been a victim of nepotism but nobody speaks of that. I’m happy to see more people from film institutes come to the forefront."<br />
<br />
Khan, in fact was part of the now-infamous episode of Koffee With Karan where Kangana Ranaut had accused host Karan Johar of being the 'flagbearer of nepotism' in Bollywood. Recalling the episode, Khan said, "I have no idea what Kangana was saying on 'Koffee with Karan' because I don’t think like that. As far as Karan is concerned, he has made himself a large symbol and it seems like he’s attracting a lot of flak for it. The truth is always complicated. There’s much more to it but people aren’t interested in that. I hope the tide is over and better things shine through.”</p>

<p>The actor also spoke about Sushant SIngh Rajput with whom he has worked in the upcoming film 'Dil Bechara'. Calling Rajput talented and good-looking, Khan said, "I thought he had a bright future. He was polite to me and appreciated my guest appearance in the film. He wanted to talk about many topics like astronomy and philosophy. I got the feeling he was brighter than I was.” Saif's daughter Sara Ali Khan made her debut opposite Rajput in Abhishek Kapoor's film 'Kedarnath' in 2018.<br />

'Dil Bechara' will be Sushant's last film. Co-starring newcomer Sanjana Sanghi, the film has been directed by Mukesh Chhabra. Along with Saif, the film also stars Swastika Mukherjee and will be available for streaming on Disney Plus Hostar from July 24 onwards.</p>

Saif Ali Khan calls himself a victim of nepotism, says 'truth is always complicated'

20 years ago, on this day, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor Khan made their debut in Bollywood in filmmaker JP Dutta's period love-story 'Refugee'. On Wednesday, the film's lead actors, now know faces and stars in their own right walked down the memory lane and thanked fans for their 20 years journey.

20 years ago, on this day, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor Khan made their debut in Bollywood in filmmaker JP Dutta's period love-story 'Refugee'. On Wednesday, the film's lead actors, now know faces and stars in their own right walked down the memory lane and thanked fans for their 20 years journey. Abhishek, who has been sharing milestones of his career on social media the past few days, shared a fan art image that celebrates all the popular characters the actor has played in his career and in the caption, thanked Dutta, the cast and the crew of the film. Abhishek got emotional as he wrote a long post along with the caption. "Time flies when you’re having fun! #RoadTo20 Today, 20 years ago JP Dutta’s 'Refugee' released. Marking the introduction of yours truly and @kareenakapoorkhan into the world of films. Your first film is always most dear and special; Refugee was no different. An amazing experience! A newcomer could not have asked for anything else. JP sahab was the best teacher. Caring, nurturing and has since been an amazing guiding force for me. The entire cast and crew were so patient,supportive and encouraging. My love and respect for all of them is boundless. Thank you! It is a blessing and a privilege to be able to look back and recount the last 20 years. Any actor will tell you, getting to make a film is a huge honour. Surviving 20 yrs seems unimaginable. The best part is, I feel like I’m just getting started. I have so much more to prove. So much more to do and I can’t wait.... The actor also thanked his family for giving him streghth and encouragement in these past two decades. "None of this would have been possible without my family! They have been my inspiration, my strength, my silent support and my “raison d”être”. They allowed me the freedom to figure out whatever I needed to without ever pressurising me, burdening me with expectation. They let me know when they didn’t like a performance and showered me with love when they did," the actor added.

<p>With theatres around the world either running on half capacity or being shut because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, OTT platforms are filling this gap and how. Soon-to-release film that stars Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee in and as Bhonsle, pegs the actor as a retired Marathi cop who has been forced to retire as he faces a major illness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to WION in an exclusive conversation, actor Manoj Bajpayee and film producer Sandeep Kapoor speak about ‘Bhonsle’, opting for a digital release, Manoj’s passion to do what no creative person has done before and much more.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Who is Bhonsle?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> He is a 64-years-old&nbsp;who doesn't want to retire because he doesn't have a life after retirement. Bhonsle is scared of going back to his chawl and spending time there. He is averse to social interactions, doesn't like to meet people or talk to them. He is somebody who is purposeless after retirement and also he is going through a major illness. In the film, all of this is getting very difficult for him to deal with and because of his neighbour who comes from Bihar, he gets a purpose in life. This is about that man who is purposeless, ill, retired,&nbsp;lonely and what gives him a purpose in life. This is the character and partly the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: How was the idea of ‘us vs them’ dealt with in the film’s context as it has the backdrop of local Marathis wanting migrants to go back to their native?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep:</strong> For that you have to watch the film as the issue is local but the subject is global because it's not just about UP, Bihar or Maharashtra. You have similar problems all over the world.</p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> This film happens between Ganpati coming in and lasts till Ganpati Visarjan. This film is about how the life of a cop changes between these 10 days -- all the highs and lows he goes through. It's a complete life he lives through that period of time. Also, the backdrop of the film is local vs migrant which is at its peak especially during Ganpati in the chawl. The film is about how he deals with it. Clash between local and migrant is a global issue. Be it US, France, Germany, Britain -- you name a country and it's there. It's an issue which is dealt very locally in this film but since it's happening all over the world, it has a universal appeal.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Theatre to digital. How difficult/ easy was that decision&nbsp;for the film’s release?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep: </strong>We were wanting to complete this film in 2018 and then took it to the international circuit to film festivals. We did it for almost one year. In 2020, we were planning to release in Feb/March but then lockdown and Corona happened and it got delayed. We are now very happy to bring it to digital because on the same day on 26th June, we will have a world premiere. As a producer, however much money I spend, I would not have been able to get a worldwide release on the same day in theatres. OTT is a good platform but having said that, films like ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ and others are also releasing on OTT, so OTT has its own audience.</p>

<p><strong>WION: As a producer how profitable is going digital first?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Sandeep:</strong> With these kinds of films, it takes time to recover the money but the kind of credibility as a producer you get be it my last film ‘Anarkali of Arra’ which was released in theatres, I got my money. Here also, the OTT has also taken TV rights.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Having done a variety of roles in your career, are you now content as an actor?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> No, never. I think I am far from that. During lockdown, after a few days only, I started getting the itch of getting back to the set and start doing what I was supposed to. I love acting. I am fascinated by this craft. I don't think there is any other job that is as interesting and exciting than acting. It's an ongoing learning that happens when you are dealing with the craft. It's so satisfying to see the character that you have prepared for. It's a different kind of joy. Somebody has said it right, it's like delivering a healthy baby. You feel all the pain that a mother goes through but when she sees the baby, that joy, that bliss is what an actor feels. I especially feel that.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: What's next?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong> I would definitely like to do something that people have never thought of. I want something really out of the box, something no creative person has thought of. When Bhiku Mhatre happened, the industry never thought that this kind of a character would ever be played. They could have never imagined that kind of a film, character, performance. I'd like to do a film like that or ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’,&nbsp;‘Rajneeti’ or&nbsp;‘Aligarh’. Surprising yourself and in turn surprising the audience and industry, that's a fantastic feeling. I am looking for that kind of a film, that kind of character. In Hollywood you have Brando’s role in ‘Godfather’, De Niro’s role in ‘Taxi Driver’, Heath Ledger in ‘Batman’ or ‘Joker’ for that matter -- a character or performance which defines our time that we are living in.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: How do you feel about nepotism in&nbsp;Bollywood and if the industry is fair to 'outsiders'?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Manoj:</strong>&nbsp;Let me start with this, the world is not fair. I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable.</p>

<p>I have said it before, that this industry has wasted talent; so much that in any other country those talents who have not been given their due here, would have been known as the best actors of the world. But we don't care. Firstly, if you don't have talent then you have to be extremely lucky to get by. This is the system I am talking about.&nbsp;I am not blaming anyone. I am a part of this industry. This is why I said in my past interviews that we have to look inward and rectify that. Rectify, or you will keep getting flak for it, cursed for it and will keep on losing respect of the common people.</p>

<p>I was asking somebody recently to tell me when these words started existing in our industry -- insider, outsider? Only 20 years back. The evidence is there, it's just that we ignore it. Now when people are getting angry, you are saying that their anger is unnecessary. You avoided it, you ignored it. Somewhere there anger means they are asking questions and we have to answer those questions as an industry. That system needs to be rectified. Who will rectify it? Me, as an established actor, as an experienced actor. Others who are well positioned,&nbsp;are privileged. You can improve it by spotting talents, encouraging talent, by making their struggle shorter and admiring and respecting them. That's all it takes to make it a healthy and democratic industry. That's all it takes.</p>

There are hardly a few actors who match up to the calibre and zest of Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee who has given us sheer gems over the course of his long career in the entertainment industry but it has not come without a fight admits the star himself.

There are hardly a few actors who match up to the calibre and zest of Indian actor Manoj Bajpayee who has given us sheer gems over the course of his long career in the entertainment industry but it has not come without a fight admits the star himself. Speaking to WION, as he gears up for the release of his film ‘Bhonsle’, Manoj Bajpayee spoke of the reality of Bollywood industry and the very structure that promotes nepotism. Looking forward to the release of ‘Bhonsle’ in which he plays a retired Mumbai cop, Manoj spoke of the realities of the world that we as participants and audience are privy to.

I have been saying this since 20 years that as an industry we celebrate mediocrity. Forget about industry, as a nation we celebrate mediocrity. Something is lacking somewhere -- in our thought process, our value system. When we see talent, we immediately want to ignore or push it away. This is the value system of ours which is so deplorable,” Manoj stated. Explaining, he said, “I have said it before that this industry has wasted talent; so much that in any other country those talents who have not been given their due here, would have been known as the best actors of the world. But we don't care. Firstly, if you don't have talent then you have to be extremely lucky to get by. This is the system I am talking about. This is the cold value of this industry. I am not blaming anyone. I am a part of this industry. This is why I said in my past interviews that we have to look inward and rectify that. Rectify, or you will keep getting flak for it, cursed for it and will keep on losing respect of the common people.” Not to sound very cynical on the state of affairs in Bollywood and offering a solution, Manoj said, “You can't do it. You cannot afford to ignore talent, crush talent, and must give a chance to someone, no matter if he/she is an outsider or insider. Give a chance to somebody who is less capable.” View this post on Instagram My first full length play IBSEN’s ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE for hindu college when I was 19ys old.looking at the photos remembered my friend and director of the play late desh deepak.be peaceful wherever you are desh!! A post shared by Manoj Bajpayee (@bajpayee.manoj) on Apr 28, 2020 at 10:44pm PDT × Getting anecdotal, Manoj highlighted that “when you are appearing for engineering, you give a chance to someone who's scored the most, right? But in this industry if you are talented, first of all everybody will be jealous of your talent. So if they are jealous of your talent, they will try to push you away. They will try to ignore you. They will try to pull you back.” “Not everybody is Manoj Bajpayee who is going to pick on you if you are going to pull him back. I am a thick-skinned person. The more you abuse me, the more powerful I become in my resolve. I come from a different place, I am the son of a different mother. When I think of how I survived, sometimes, I feel like it's a miracle,” said Manoj who got nostalgic reminiscing his journey that has been nothing short of a miracle for him and a blessing for his fans who hail him as one of the best actors that the industry has seen. From Sardar Khan’s ‘Keh Ke Lenge’ in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ that is considered a cult to a homosexual professor Dr Siras in ‘Aligarh’ or gangster Bhiku Mhatre of ‘Satya’, Manoj has not only stunned cinema lovers with his range but also proved that “content is king”.

Never knew that these lines are so popular with the people who saw #shootoutatwadala A post shared by Manoj Bajpayee (@bajpayee.manoj) on Jun 1, 2020 at 9:45am PDT × Manoj reflected, “How come I survived in this industry, an industry that doesn't have respect for people from outside? So much so, if a good film is getting bad box office then forget about the industry as they will anyway criticise you whether you make a good film or a bad film, whether you give a good performance or a bad performance -- the mainstream critics and the trade analysts will jump on it and they will try to prove that it’s a bad film because the box office is not that great. So you can imagine as the state of affairs is evident. I don't have to say anything. You just look around and the evidence is there. I just voice it out and when I voice it out some people get offended and why they get offended is because they know this is the truth. You know what the truth is? It is what is visible from your eyes. That's the truth and the rest is all perception so when I say something loudly, I am only pointing out the things which are evident.” Watch him speak here: But Bollywood wasn’t programmed like this always. “I was asking somebody recently to tell me when these words started existing in our industry -- insider, outsider? Only 20 years back. The evidence is there, it's just that we ignore it. Now when people are getting angry, you are saying that their anger is unnecessary. You avoided it, you ignored it. Somewhere there anger means they are asking questions and we have to answer those questions as an industry. That system needs to be rectified. Who will rectify it? Me, as an established actor, as an experienced actor. Others who are well positioned. Others who are privileged. You can improve it by spotting talents, encouraging talent, by making their struggle shorter and admiring and respecting them. That's all it takes to make it a healthy and democratic industry. That's all it takes,” offering a solution that would help soothe the anger of an audience that is increasingly asking for younger talents to be appreciated and given a scope to perform. When asked if the viewers are also to be blamed for patronising a certain section of actors following a line of nepotism. Manoj said, “We will come to that definitely when the time is right. At this time, the right questions are being asked. I agree there is a lot of chaos and filth but if you want to find the questions you want to find the answers for yourself, then you will realise that the solution lies in us. The audience does that but it’s not their fault. Look at the manner in which good films are exhibited and distributed. They don't get the right number of theatres, they don't get the right number of shows, right timing of shows. When a small film starts picking up, it's taken off. Are you giving that audience a chance to go ahead and mentor those films? But yes you are right, a little bit of a problem also lies on that side. We will come to it. First we will have to rectify ourselves, only then we can ask those questions to the viewers. Otherwise, it will sound whataboutery.” Check out this space for the full interview.

Rohit Shetty's 'Golmaal Again' to re-release in COVID-free New Zealand

We have seen him in TVF’s ‘Pitchers’, ‘Permanent Roommates’, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Shubh Mangal Zyaada Savdhan’, hit web show ‘Panchayat’ and now he’s here to entertain us in Netflix’s ‘Chaman Bahaar’.

We have seen him in TVF’s ‘Pitchers’, ‘Permanent Roommates’, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Shubh Mangal Zyaada Savdhan’, hit web show ‘Panchayat’ and now he’s here to entertain us in Netflix’s ‘Chaman Bahaar’. Actor Jitendra Kumar is a classic example of ‘hard work always pays off’. A civil engineer by profession who graduated from IIT Kharagpur, Jitendra Kumar aka Panchayat’s Abhishek or Pitchers’ Jeetu has seen his fair share of hurdles and continues to hussle but believes in perseverance and patience. In an exclusive chat with WION, Jitendra Kumar spoke of his 8 years of acting career, his journey from IIT to the tinseltown and not getting affected by nepotism as he firmly believes in the fact that “audience makes stars and filmmakers only work with them.” IIT Kharagpur to Showbiz “I have been here for 8 years -- came to make films in 2012-13 with an intention to work in films. I knew no one. I grew on YouTube. I made sketches that became popular with people. When I got appreciation, my belief in telling the kind of stories I wanted to tell only grew,” says Jeetu who rose to fame with ‘Pitchers’ that people fondly remember for the catchphrase “Tu Beer Hai”. Only a couple years short of a decade in the filmy world, Jitendra Kumar’s success mantra all along has been “patience and perseverance”. “These years have taught me patience that if you want to tell your kind of stories then you have to give it time and be patient. You have to be mentally prepared for all pros and cons of that struggle. Don't get disheartened with unpredictability as that is everywhere and you can do nothing about it. Consistency, persistence, patience -- these are the three things I have learnt and swear by,” says Jeetu. Actors usually get inspired from their colleagues as they continue to grow individually in their space. Jeetu was recently inspired by fellow actor Zeeshan Ayyub who said in one of his interviews that “you work for yourself without paying heed to any form of competition”. This has stuck with Jeetu who insists that he will continue to do what gives him a kick without giving anything else much thought. Good with academics, Jitendra Kumar has studied in IIT. A civil engineer by profession, acting was not by fluke. He wanted it so bad that it happened for him. Explaining how it all started, Jeetu says, “I was in college. Having studied in Hindi medium school all my life, IIT was alien to me at first because everything was being taught in English. I got distracted from studies. I made plans to study English and catch up with the rest of the class when I got to know that wholesome education is what got us jobs post academics. I suddenly had to diversify my knowledge so I got involved in dramatics.” “My first experience with the stage and performance arts was amazing. I made close friends. I loved being part of plays and suddenly I realised I was cut by an acting bug. I thought first to get a decent paying job to make a lot of money for security and then maybe step into acting. Till my 4th year, I took it very casually. I came to Mumbai after completing my education." View this post on Instagram 19th June .. only on Netflix .. @netflix_in . . Written and Directed by @aakhiri_aawara @rits_badiani @bhuvanarora27 @iamalamkhan @ashwani.1204 @iam_troubadour @anshumanmkj @yoodleefilms #Chamanbahar #billukirinku #newwork #comingsoon #specialFilm A post shared by Jitendra Kumar (@jitendrak1) on Jun 16, 2020 at 11:04pm PDT × Like almost every actor, it wasn’t a smooth ride for Jeetu who after a couple of months in Mumbai, after having shot a few short videos, tasted no luck. “In the first few months, my videos did not garner a good response. I shot another video but even the creators didn’t like it. We thought of not putting it up on YouTube. I left it all and joined a job in a construction company because I am afterall a civil engineer. There after 6 months of working, I put the first video out called ‘Munna Jazbaati’ and it became an instant hit. People loved the character. Then I thought of starting to write again because I wasn't enjoying my job. I was very clear that I can't be a good civil engineer. I might get money because I am from IIT and people respect IIT but that’s about it. So when I made the decision of quitting my job, I had to ensure I had something to do to fend for myself because this was just one video that became a hit. "I thought of joining an acting school. I started applying, didn't get admission. I thought I’ll do some plays in Mumbai and apply again for an acting school. By then TVF had grown. I got so many opportunities there. TVF became my school. ‘Pitchers’, ‘Permanent Roommates’ released and people started recognizing me. Films happened. I started learning from my own experiences and from the experiences of actors, directors, script writers on the set,” narrates Jeetu as he spoke of hurdles behind the success. Forget Nepotism, Audience Makes Stars Ask him whether nepotism bothers him, Jeetu has a very rounded answer, “I have examples in front of me -- people have got big opportunities and they were not from this industry. All major stars today including Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan were outsiders. Things take time, but your work will get observed. To get that first opportunity will have its own challenges and will take time but that's the case in any industry.” “I am not scared of nepotism. If things were really unfair then maybe it would affect me. The comfort zone could be a reason behind nepotism. It's very obvious, if I know someone talented in my circle, I would recommend that person for a job because of that comfort zone.” He sums the issue of favouritism with, “Jo aapki pehli nazar mein hota hai, usi ko kaam de dete hain. (You recommend people around you almost instinctively).” Brimming with positivity and hope, Jeetendra Kumar says, “Audience makes stars, big filmmakers only work with stars. It's a business. Audience appreciates your work, if you are an interesting talent then you become a star and big filmmakers start working with you. Kapil Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput are examples of this.” When asked of dealing with pressure charting a similar journey like Sushant Singh Rajput as he too made inroads into films from TV/Web, Jeetu says, “We don’t know what was the reason behind his death. It’s saddening, shocking but also eye opening. Main thing is that we have to take care of our health -- physical and mental. We should care for our body and get possible therapy and treatments. We should be around family, friends and share with them our true emotions.” He adds, “I feel if you enter any industry and have no links inside, it takes time to get the correct opportunity where you can create a body of work and seeing that you will further get projects and stories you want to be a part of --but it takes time. It’s challenging. Life is about challenges. For me, Sushant was brave and he took upon challenges. He achieved a lot. We don't know what he was going though and the reason for his death. We should not create theories.” Billu of Netflix’s ‘Chaman Bahaar’ Excited for the response to his new film ‘Chaman Bahaar’, Jitendra Kumar has a good feeling about it. “Billu is an interesting character. He experiences different situations as lots keep happening to him. He goes through varied emotions in the process -- a one-sided love, anger. He gets scared of a bear so starts a paan (betel) shop which initially doesn’t work but picks up after some time. It’s the turmoil, probably, that the audience can relate with,” says Jeetu. Preparing for the role took a lot of time and energy for Jeetu: “I was scared for people to not judge me as someone who has put on makeup and is sitting at a paan shop, so that I don't look like an eyesore in the setup. I did a lot of readings, trained in Chhattisgarhi dialect. I reached 7 days before shooting on the set. Met with a paan shopkeeper named Raju Bhaiya, learned a lot from him. Infact, we shot for a scene where I am making a paan, an art I picked up from Raju Bhaiya although it didn’t ended up in the final cut,” says Jeetu.
