It was very clear to me that if he did genuinely feel that, he knew my dad, Shabana, my mom, and me, we worked together in ZNMD, so it would have been the easiest thing for him to say, " I want to speak to you. Why don't you come over!". Also Read: Who was Terence Stamp? Superman actor's net worth, best roles and more What did Naseeruddin say about Farhan Akhtar regarding his acting? As per a 2013 interview with Times of India, Naseeruddin Shah had said, "Farhan Akhtar's films I don't care for. I liked his first film, Dil Chahta Hai. He is a tremendous person and has so many facets to him. Tomorrow, I won't be surprised if I hear that he cooked a 10-course meal to perfection. He sings, acts, produces films, and writes. I think it's great he's doing whatever he can. I'm not a great fan of his acting or his films. But I admire him".

<h2>Raanjhanna AI row</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed by Aanand L. Rai, Raanjhanaa featured Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles and was re-released by production house Eros Entertainment. The controversy arose due to an AI-generated alternate ending, created without the consent of the original filmmakers or actors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the original version, Dhanush’s character Kundan dies after being shot. However, in the AI-edited version, Kundan survives and wakes up in a hospital, surrounded by Bindiya (Swara Bhasker) and Murari (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub). The AI modification has been opposed by Rai and Dhanush.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Earlier this week, Dhanush expressed his disappointment over the changed climax.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Titled “For the love of cinema”, Dhanush wrote in his note, “The re-release of ‘Raanjhanaa’ with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul, and the concerned parties went ahead with it despite my clear objection. This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago. The use of AI to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future,” he added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

 Released in 2013, Ranjhanaa is one of the intense and beautiful romantic dramas that has redefined the genre with the prolific performances and impressive plot lines. The movie is still one of the best love saga ever produced in Bollywood.

Entertainment Bollywood Over the years, we’ve witnessed actors undergo incredible physical transformations, showcasing their unwavering dedication to their craft.

Bollywood Actors' Most Jaw-Dropping Body Transformations In Pics

<p><span>Veteran lyricist-screenwriter Javed Akhtar said on Sunday that his son Farhan Akhtar went to Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan with the script of his directorial debut<em> Dil Chahta Hai </em>at a time when the actor was on a six-month break from narrations.</span></p>
<p><span>At the press conference of PVR-INOX's "Aamir Khan: Cinema Ka Jadugar", Javed Akhtar recalled the incident that Aamir once shared with him.</span></p>
<p><span>"(Aamir said) 'I'd told my secretary that I will not listen to any script for the coming six months'. Then this boy (Farhan) came to the set where he was shooting. Aamir said, 'I recognised that he is your son, first by his face and then by his name. So, I told him that I am not listening to any script till six months. I asked him to come by later'."</span></p>
<p><span>"He told me, 'I was waiting for you (Javed Akhtar) to call me, saying 'he is my son, listen to the script'. But after 10 days, you didn't call me, I understood that he didn't speak to his father. I became curious. I thought the boy had some guts that he didn't talk to his father despite knowing he shares good relations with Aamir Khan. So, I decided to listen to the script'. The moment the narration ended, Aamir said yes," the noted writer told reporters here.</span></p>
<p><span>Later, Farhan Akhtar went to his father and asked him to read the script of "Dil Chahta Hai".</span></p>
<p><span>"I read it and said, 'This is a three-hero film. You are a newcomer. Which of the big heroes will work with you? And you want three, not one. He said, 'Are you done?' I was like 'What's that supposed to mean?' He said, 'I narrated the film to Aamir Khan and he has said yes'. I said, 'You narrated the film to Aamir Khan and he said yes? He doesn't say yes to others'. So, I said, 'Make the film'," Javed Akhtar said.</span></p>
<p><span><em>Dil Chahta Hai</em>, a coming-of-age drama revolving around three friends, marked the directorial debut of Farhan Akhtar. Besides Aamir, the 2001 movie also starred Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan.</span></p>
<p><span>Javed Akhtar said he shares a "weird bond" with Aamir, son of filmmaker Tahir Hussain and nephew of director-producer Nasir Hussain.</span></p>
<p><span>"He was born in 1965. I joined the film industry in 1965. His first film <em>'Yaadon Ki Baaraat</em>, as a child actor) came in 1973, when he was 8 years old. That film was written by Salim-Javed," he said.</span></p>
<p><span>"The first film Aamir produced was 'Lagaan' and I wrote songs for it. My son's first film as a director, he starred in it," he added.</span></p>
<p><span>The screenwriter also claimed that he was the first one to predict Aamir's stardom. The actor made a stellar debut as a leading man with 1988's romantic musical film&nbsp;<em>Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak</em>.</span></p>
<p><span>"Once I was at a hotel in Khandala and I found out that Nasir sahab is also there shooting for the film called 'Zabardast'. I went there to convey my 'salaam' to him because by that time we had done 'Yaadon Ki Baarat'. As I was talking to him, I noticed this boy (Aamir), standing in the corner of a big hall, taking down notes in the continuity book."</span></p>
<p><span>"I asked Nasir sahab who he was and he said 'This is Tahir's son, my assistant'. I told him, 'Why have you made him an assistant? You must make a film with this boy, he is a superstar!' Nasir sahab said 'Take him in your film'. I said, 'He should act in a romantic film written by you'. Ultimately that's what happened," he said.</span></p>

I became curious. I thought the boy had some guts that he didn't talk to his father despite knowing he shares good relations with Aamir Khan. So, I decided to listen to the script'. The moment the narration ended, Aamir said yes," the noted writer told reporters here. Later, Farhan Akhtar went to his father and asked him to read the script of "Dil Chahta Hai". "I read it and said, 'This is a three-hero film. You are a newcomer. Which of the big heroes will work with you? And you want three, not one. He said, 'Are you done?' I was like 'What's that supposed to mean?' He said, 'I narrated the film to Aamir Khan and he has said yes'. I said, 'You narrated the film to Aamir Khan and he said yes? He doesn't say yes to others'. So, I said, 'Make the film'," Javed Akhtar said. Dil Chahta Hai, a coming-of-age drama revolving around three friends, marked the directorial debut of Farhan Akhtar. Besides Aamir, the 2001 movie also starred Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan. Javed Akhtar said he shares a "weird bond" with Aamir, son of filmmaker Tahir Hussain and nephew of director-producer Nasir Hussain. "He was born in 1965. I joined the film industry in 1965. His first film 'Yaadon Ki Baaraat, as a child actor) came in 1973, when he was 8 years old. That film was written by Salim-Javed," he said. "The first film Aamir produced was 'Lagaan' and I wrote songs for it. My son's first film as a director, he starred in it," he added. The screenwriter also claimed that he was the first one to predict Aamir's stardom. The actor made a stellar debut as a leading man with 1988's romantic musical film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. "Once I was at a hotel in Khandala and I found out that Nasir sahab is also there shooting for the film called 'Zabardast'. I went there to convey my 'salaam' to him because by that time we had done 'Yaadon Ki Baarat'. As I was talking to him, I noticed this boy (Aamir), standing in the corner of a big hall, taking down notes in the continuity book." "I asked Nasir sahab who he was and he said 'This is Tahir's son, my assistant'. I told him, 'Why have you made him an assistant? You must make a film with this boy, he is a superstar!' Nasir sahab said 'Take him in your film'. I said, 'He should act in a romantic film written by you'. Ultimately that's what happened," he said.

Aamir was on 6-month break from narrations when Farhan approached him for Dil Chahta Hai: Javed Akhtar

<br />
The new teaser introduces Ranveer to the franchise and its loyal fans. Sharing the teaser, Farhan wrote, “A New Era Begins #Don3.” He also tagged the writer-director duo Pushkar Gayatri in his tweet but the film will be directed by Farhan himself.<br />
<br />
The teaser begins with Ranveer sitting with his back to the camera in a high-rise building. He's wearing a leather jacket, leather boots and smokes a cigarette before facing the camera and introducing himself as Don. &nbsp;Much like his predecessors, the new Don too is being hunted by the authorities of 11 countries.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier on Tuesday, Farhan had shared a note hinting at a new era of <em>Don.</em> The note read, “It was 1978 when the nation witnessed the rage of <em>Don</em> for the first time with superstar Mr Amitabh Bachchan playing the lead. While the first film continues to hold its charm, Excel Entertainment is delighted to announce the directorial homecoming of Farhan Akhtar's <em>Don</em>. With a legacy firmly established through his iconic two-film action franchise with Shah Rukh Khan in 2006 and 2011, the director is set to redefine the boundaries of storytelling once again in <em>Don 3.</em>"</p>

<p><strong>Is Ranveer replacing Shah Rukh Khan in <em>Don 3</em>?</strong><br />
<br />
Reports stated that the third installment of <em>Don </em>will have Ranveer Singh playing the titular character. Ranveer has worked with Farhan and Ritesh's production house in <em>Dil Dhadakne Do </em>and <em>Gully Boy. </em>A source close to the project had earlier stated, "Following Shah Rukh’s exit, the makers of <em>Don 3 </em>were looking for a popular and bankable name who could take the Don legacy ahead. And they have finally zeroed in on Ranveer. This association has borne fruit in the past and it will be no surprise if the collaboration proves to be another runaway hit. We’re waiting to see how fans of the <em>Don</em> franchise react to Ranveer’s casting considering Shah Rukh won over everyone with his charismatic portrayal of<em> Don</em>."</p>

<p>Reports also state that Ranveer has already shot the announcement video which will be released at end of this week. The promo is reportedly attached to <em>Gadar 2 </em>screening. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Why is SRK not part of <em>Don 3</em>?</strong><br />
<br />
According to a report in Pinkvilla, SRK decided to opt out of the project as he was not interested to play the same character for the third time around.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have had multiple detailed discussions with Shah Rukh Khan on <em>Don 3. </em>Before the pandemic, a couple of ideas were also discussed, which took the shape of a script through the pandemic. Meetings have happened recently too, but Shah Rukh is not too keen to get back as <em>Don </em>again at this point in time. He is willing to do commercial films that cater to a universal section of the audience, and <em>Don</em> certainly doesn’t fit the bracket of cinema that he is willing to do for the coming few years. He has conveyed his decision to the stakeholders at Excel."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ranveer has been earning rave reviews for his performance in the recently released <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.</em> Directed by Karan Johar the film also co-stars Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi among others.&nbsp;</p>

And they have finally zeroed in on Ranveer. This association has borne fruit in the past and it will be no surprise if the collaboration proves to be another runaway hit.

"Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have had multiple detailed discussions with Shah Rukh Khan on Don 3. Before the pandemic, a couple of ideas were also discussed, which took the shape of a script through the pandemic. Meetings have happened recently too, but Shah Rukh is not too keen to get back as Don again at this point in time. He is willing to do commercial films that cater to a universal section of the audience, and Don certainly doesn’t fit the bracket of cinema that he is willing to do for the coming few years. He has conveyed his decision to the stakeholders at Excel." Meanwhile, Ranveer has been earning rave reviews for his performance in the recently released Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Ranveer Singh to replace Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3?

<p>In recent times, movies and television series and web content, based on Indian characters have become quite popular. With creators such as Mindy Kaling, Lang Fisher, Smriti Mundhra and&nbsp;Kabir&nbsp;Akhtar&nbsp;people of colour, mainly hailing from the South Asian part of the world, have found a place on-screen too. In an exclusive tet-a-tete with WION, director Kabir Akhtar, who created history at the Emmys in 2016, by becoming the first brown person to win the award in single camera, comedy editing, shared with us that nearly 30 years ago, life was completely different for a brown person living in the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even for&nbsp;Akhtar, who hails from an influential family in India.&nbsp;He is the nephew of Indian lyricist Javed&nbsp;Akhtar, and cousin of directors Zoya and Farhan&nbsp;Akhtar. Well known for his works in<em> Crazy Ex-Girlfriend</em>, <em>Arrested Development,</em> in recent times, he has regained his popularity again&nbsp;for directing some of the episodes of the Netflix show, <em>Never Have I Ever.</em> The series is based on an Indian teenager who grows up in the U.S.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Excerpts from the interview:&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>So tell us about your experience of being the&nbsp;Akhtar&nbsp;in the Hollywood block.</b></p>

<p>You know it's funny, I did not grow up intending to go into film and television. I think most of the family sort of didn't. I sort of came to this path because, I had worked in theatre, now, when I look back of course and it is easy to see the straight line, from family business to here. But you know as the family is sort of always pointing out, I sort of made this path on my own in Los Angeles. When I moved here out of school, I didn't know anybody.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>So being from an influential family didn't really have an advantage in Hollywood?</b></p>

<p>Not really. I think it's very popular now, in 2023 to be Indian, Indian-American, or you know, have Indian descent.&nbsp; Here, it's viewed that way. But like 20 years ago, or 25 years ago, okay let's say 30 years ago, it was not that way. I mean the representation of Indians was not that good on American TV and movies. I mean when I grew up watching when there was an Indian person he was sort of the butt of all jokes, or like the funny next-door neighbour, at some point, they started portraying Indians even as terrorists for some reason. I don't think the culture was respected or treated well as it is now. So, it didn't really make much of a difference in the family stature in the homeland.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>How is Hollywood looking at the Indian market particularly right now?</b></p>

<p>I think there is a lot of interest, you see a lot of big companies are now very interested in inroads in India. Because I think people have realised, America has 300 million people and India has three times that, and we know that Indians love movies. It's been deep in us for so long. So you will find a lot more interest there, I'm certainly hearing that more and more people are planning to involve more Indians and India in the story-telling process. I think it's really interesting.</p>

<p><b>Can you talk about your personal experience of growing up as a brown kid in the US?</b></p>

<p>When I grew up as a brown kid in the US, it was in the 80s and the 90s. It was not cool at all to be brown back then. Right now you see everybody going and ordering chai, doing yoga, and all these factors which are coming from India, they have been reappropriated and changed, but none of this was familiar to most people here at all. I was like this skinny kid with a funny name, which is a thing Barack Obama used to say about himself which I like and I'm stealing, although he is much more successful than I am, it's true you know, I mean I think that nobody really understood the culture or wanted to. Right now you see people talking about all kinds of things like Diwali parties at the White House, and then Kamala Harris becoming the Vice President of the US, these are incredible. You couldn't imagine this happening 40 years ago. One thing that I have realised is that because Indians were allowed to come to this country in the 60s or 70s now those of us who were born here, that is the first generation of Indian-Americans and have achieved some level of success, they can change the way television and movies look at the Indian community. So, I always think about the next generation, for the kids now, and right now,&nbsp; it's normal to see other brown kids on tv looking cool, which I wish we had, but we didn't.</p>

<p><b>How did your cousins Farhan&nbsp;Akhtar&nbsp;and Zoya&nbsp;Akhtar&nbsp;react when you started becoming popular in the US.?</b></p>

<p>The whole family is very supportive. I love my family so much and everyone has always been very cool, I mean we grew up spending summers with each other, sometimes here, or we would go to India. So the four of us, (Farhan, Zoya,&nbsp;Kabir, and Nishaq) grew up together. Back then we weren't thinking about all this, we were just watching movies, consuming them and having fun doing that. It's great now, they have achieved a lot more success in India and they are coming here now for meetings and projects, so it's great that we get to see each other a lot more. Hopefully, we will also get to work together on something again. It will be a super fun thing to get the whole family together.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>Have you ever thought of directing a Bollywood film?</b></p>

<p>I would love to come work there. We are constantly trying to talk about it and trying to find the right project. I think that having grown up here but having an entire generation of the family from India and spending a bunch of my childhood there I think I understand both cultures in a way. That's cool and exciting and I want to put that to good use.</p>

<p><br />
<b>You said the right project. What according to you is the right project?</b></p>

<p>You know finding the right project is like finding the right boyfriend or a girlfriend or friend whom you get along with. Sometimes you just know it when you see it. It speaks to you and you can feel that it's authentic. You want visually interesting storytelling, stories with multiple genres, something that's fun, fascinating and interesting to watch. And I have always enjoyed making those.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>So now, I'm gonna ask you about <em>Never Have I Ever</em>. How did you land as a director?</b></p>

<p>When <em>Never Have I Ever&nbsp;</em>was announced it was part of what you and I were talking about, it was the beginning of a first-generation Indian family who lives in America. When I heard about it I raised my hand, although I was at home. I was like Oh my god, how do I find a way to work in this, so I just made phone calls, my agent made phone calls, and I ended up directing few of the shows. It was a dream come true. Everyone was amazing to work with, the cast is great, the crew is great, the scripts were great, and I ended up directing more episodes than anybody. I'm very proud of the work which I did and everybody did, it was a big team effort and created a big difference. What Mindy Kaling has done to promote Indian culture is amazing.</p>

<p><br />
<b>An important element in the series is how diversity is so ingrained. I don't see Paxton as a Japanese-European guy unless he says it, and neither do I see anyone as Chinese or African. I see them as teenagers. Who should be credited the most for it?</b></p>

<p>I think that goes back to the creators of the show, Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, who did a great job of making the show very much about people. People who are not just in high schools but people with relatable problems, and relatable backgrounds, aren't really calling attention to themselves too much.</p>

<p>It's not really about, oh Eleanor is from wherever she is from, or Paxton is half this half that, it's interesting, it provides context for characters and their choices, their decisions. Like for all of us. It's not about their race. It's been very exciting to work on projects with three-dimensional characters, you can see yourself in so many other people.</p>

<p>I mean, I watch shows with Latino women characters and I am like oh yeah, we have some of the same stuff. It's not like we are different, but more like, oh we are the same.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>Along with you, I see various other names, such as Smriti Mundhra, Anu Walia, Lang Fisher too. How is the call taken on who will direct which episode?</b></p>

<p>I think a lot of it has to do with everybody's schedule. It's not a fun answer, but it's more of a simple answer. Everybody is working on different things, the assignments are handed out based on availability. But it's great, that so many South Asian directors, and Indian-American directors, connect more and collaborate. I guess that is a dream come true.</p>

<p><b>So Devi is a topper in her class, Kamala is a PhD Student, and Nirdesh, as mentioned in the series itself, is a combination of Ben's brain and Paxton's look, he is a hot Indian dude, who excels in his class. When are we ever gonna have an Indian student who is bad at studies?</b></p>

<p>I know, tell me about it, my family also keeps asking me that question, for the wrong reason. I think it's interesting, because when the show first came out, a couple of years ago, a lot of feedback that I heard was that it's great to have a show on Indian people, but it's not my story, you know, it's not me. That's what people would say and I'm like yes it is impossible to represent the culture of a billion people in one show. But I think what this show did was it sort of broke the ceiling. Hollywood and the studio system many ingrained the old cultural idea, and they said no one would watch this show, about an Indian family, but then it became number one on Netflix. &nbsp;It was an eye-opener. There are more shows coming along, a lot of people are starting these other shows, about Indians who aren't the model minority, which is great you know. It would be great in a way, they won't be used as dumb people, people to laugh at which it used to be 30 years ago, 20 years ago even 10 years ago.</p>

<p><b>What to expect from season four of <em>Never Have I Ever</em>?&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></p>

<p>Well, we filmed season four last summer, it's been a long time, I think people are really gonna like it, I think it provides a really wonderful ending to the whole story and it's just more fun, there's a lot of great emotional stuff in it. I think everyone is really gonna like it.</p>

Raksha Bandhan 2022: Best on-screen Bollywood sibling movies to watch

<p>If multiple media reports are to be believed, actor Ishaan Khatter has been signed in to play the male lead in Farhan Akhtar's new road trip film 'Jee Le Zara'. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. The film was announced exactly a year back when Farhan Akhtar's directorial debut 'Dil Chahta Hai' completed 20 years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reports state that the film, which will see Farhan Akhtar donning the director's hat after a very long time, has been delayed and will now go on the floor in early 2023. Ishaan was reportedly roped in several months back but the makers have been waiting for the right time to make the announcement, cites a source to Times Of India.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A year since the film was announced, a lot has changed. Alia and Katrina got married. Priyanka had her daughter through surrogacy and Alia is now pregnant with her first child with husband Ranbir Kapoor. Rumours were rife that the film had been shelved due to lack of dates from the leading ladies.&nbsp;</p>

Refuting the rumours, Alia recently stated that the film is still on track, but slightly delayed. "IT'S HAPPENING!!...We will go on floors next year.

It's going to be quite massive and we can't wait,” Alia told a news outlet while promoting her new film 'Darlings'.&nbsp;<br />

So far there has been no confirmation from either Ishaan or Farhan's&nbsp; side on the new casting.&nbsp;</p>

Nearly a year after Fawad Khan confirmed his presence in Marvel's new series 'Ms Marvel', the Pakistani actor made his first appearance in the fifth episode of the show on Wednesday and got a thunderous welcome online. Khan had a blink-and-miss appearance earlier in episode four but fans were in for a treat as the new episode that dropped on Wednesday featured mostly the back story of Kamala Khan's great grandparents Hasan and Ayesha, played by Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat respectively. Ahead of the episode, Disney+Hotstar gave a sneak peek to the fans on what to expect in the coming episode and featured Fawad and Mehwish. In the show, Mehwish plays Ayesha, Kamala's great-grandmother from whom she has inherited the magical bangle that has given her the superpowers and Fawad plays Hasan, a freedom fighter living in pre-independent India, who dreams of freedom from British rule.

Fawad Khan appears in episode 5 of 'Ms Marvel'; gets a warm welcome from fans on social media

<p>Bollywood actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar's short cameo in 'Ms Marvel' has triggered a meme-fest on social media. In recently-released episode 4 of the series, Akhtar is seen playing the role of Waleed. And since then, Twitter has been flooded with tweets, including hilarious memes and appreciation posts.</p>

<p>But before we take a look at the fans' reaction to Waleed's entry and quick exit from the show, let's see what the actor has to say about his cameo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a recent interview with India Today, Akhtar shared that he is not allowed to reveal whether Waleed has actually died in the series or not. He said, "Obviously, I am not the person to answer this question. Honestly, I consider myself lucky to have been part of the very first one that has been created from the Marvel universe. There is such a buzz about the show."</p>

<p>Taking a dig at the cameo's duration, a Twitter user wrote, "#FarhanAkhtar is the new Flash, not because he's fast, he enters and exits from #MsMarvel so fast. (sic)"</p>

<p>Another wrote, "They did him so wrong only introduced him to the mcu to kill him off five min later&nbsp;#FarhanAkhtar #MsMarvel #Marvel. (sic)"</p>

Bollywood actor and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar's short cameo in 'Ms Marvel' has triggered a meme-fest on social media. In recently-released episode 4 of the series, Akhtar is seen playing the role of Waleed. And since then, Twitter has been flooded with tweets, including hilarious memes and appreciation posts. But before we take a look at the fans' reaction to Waleed's entry and quick exit from the show, let's see what the actor has to say about his cameo. In a recent interview with India Today, Akhtar shared that he is not allowed to reveal whether Waleed has actually died in the series or not. He said, "Obviously, I am not the person to answer this question. Honestly, I consider myself lucky to have been part of the very first one that has been created from the Marvel universe. There is such a buzz about the show." Taking a dig at the cameo's duration, a Twitter user wrote, "#FarhanAkhtar is the new Flash, not because he's fast, he enters and exits from #MsMarvel so fast. (sic)" Another wrote, "They did him so wrong only introduced him to the mcu to kill him off five min later #FarhanAkhtar #MsMarvel #Marvel.

Twitterati take hilarious dig at Farhan Akhtar's short cameo in 'Ms Marvel'

<p>Farhan Akhtar's long-awaited cameo in 'Ms. Marvel' was teased by Disney+ ahead of the fourth episode's release on Wednesday afternoon. The introductory video clip featuring Akhtar was shared by Marvel Entertainment on its social media accounts on Tuesday night, revealing Farhan’s character as Waleed. The show is one of the most "desi" programmes that ever existed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its focus on Asian music and culture. The fourth episode of ‘Ms Marvel’ presents a distinctive fusion of Marvel and South Asian masala cinema and is where the show really establishes its primary concept.</p>

<p>The video clip also features Aramis Knight as Kareem/Red Dagger, who is leading Iman Vellani into a mysterious location, where they meet Akhtar’s character. Kareem can be seen saying, "Usually, tourists are not allowed." And it's then when Farhan’s character appears in the scene and says, "But for a descendant of Ayesha’s, I’m sure we can make an exception." He continues to say, "My name is Waleed. Your great-grandmother’s story is of legend. When you’re ready, we have much to discuss."</p>

<p>Though Farhan has a brief role in the show, it is important. Marvel Studios&nbsp;casting a well-known Asian face as Waleed was required as the persona needed some grandeur and a touch of Asia. Apart from Farhan, other renowned South Asian actors will appear in the MCU series, including Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Mohan Kapur in recurring roles.</p>

<p>The fourth episode of ‘Ms Marvel’ captures Karachi’s beauty, while we see Kamala Khan visiting her sick grandmother. The episode, directed by Oscar winner and Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, shows shots of market, flying kites, and train stations, and other glimpses of the Karachi city. Meanwhile, ‘Ms Marvels’ previous episodes transported the viewers to Karachi with Ali Sethi’s superhit song ‘Pasoori’. The episode also includes the iconic disco song ‘Disco Deewane’ by legendary Pakistani artist Nazia Hassan, who created a flutter on both sides of the border when it was released in 1981.</p>

<p>As ‘Ms Marvel’ is a superhero show, it soon heads towards some action as Kamala Khan and her new two friends (Farhan and Aramis) kick the bad guys in the narrow lanes of Karachi. We see a flashback of a typical Asian masala movie action sequence in the form of a truck and auto-rickshaw chase scene.&nbsp;</p>

Farhan Akhtar's long-awaited cameo in 'Ms. Marvel' was teased by Disney+ ahead of the fourth episode's release on Wednesday afternoon. The introductory video clip featuring Akhtar was shared by Marvel Entertainment on its social media accounts on Tuesday night, revealing Farhan’s character as Waleed. The show is one of the most "desi" programmes that ever existed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with its focus on Asian music and culture. The fourth episode of ‘Ms Marvel’ presents a distinctive fusion of Marvel and South Asian masala cinema and is where the show really establishes its primary concept. The video clip also features Aramis Knight as Kareem/Red Dagger, who is leading Iman Vellani into a mysterious location, where they meet Akhtar’s character. Kareem can be seen saying, "Usually, tourists are not allowed." And it's then when Farhan’s character appears in the scene and says, "But for a descendant of Ayesha’s, I’m sure we can make an exception." He continues to say, "My name is Waleed. Your great-grandmother’s story is of legend. When you’re ready, we have much to discuss." It's my pleasure to introduce you to Waleed! Catch me in the latest episode of Ms. Marvel on @DisneyPlusHS. Marvel Studios' #MsMarvel four episodes, now streaming in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and English. pic.twitter.com/Tpi8w1vVwu — Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) June 29, 2022 × Though Farhan has a brief role in the show, it is important. Marvel Studios casting a well-known Asian face as Waleed was required as the persona needed some grandeur and a touch of Asia. Apart from Farhan, other renowned South Asian actors will appear in the MCU series, including Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Mohan Kapur in recurring roles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Disney+ Hotstar (@disneyplushotstar) × The fourth episode of ‘Ms Marvel’ captures Karachi’s beauty, while we see Kamala Khan visiting her sick grandmother. The episode, directed by Oscar winner and Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, shows shots of market, flying kites, and train stations, and other glimpses of the Karachi city. Meanwhile, ‘Ms Marvels’ previous episodes transported the viewers to Karachi with Ali Sethi’s superhit song ‘Pasoori’. The episode also includes the iconic disco song ‘Disco Deewane’ by legendary Pakistani artist Nazia Hassan, who created a flutter on both sides of the border when it was released in 1981. Also Read: Netizens have the best reaction to Ms Marvel episode 3’s Bollywood-style wedding sequence As ‘Ms Marvel’ is a superhero show, it soon heads towards some action as Kamala Khan and her new two friends (Farhan and Aramis) kick the bad guys in the narrow lanes of Karachi. We see a flashback of a typical Asian masala movie action sequence in the form of a truck and auto-rickshaw chase scene. ‘Ms Marvel’, in total, has six episodes, which are released on Disney+ globally and on Disney+ Hotstar in India every Wednesday. Meanwhile, fans reacted to Farhan’s appearance in the MCU series. See reactions here:- Loved your appearance in the show sir Great action sequences..

<p>Soon after the post was shared by the actor, fans started to assume that this might be the biggest crossover in the history of Bollywood as they could see both on-screen ‘Dons’ together, and the fans swamped the comment section with excitement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Is that any hint on Don 3?" a user who shared the image tweeted. Recently, there were rumours that director Farhan Akhtar, who announced his upcoming film ‘Jee Le Zara’ starring Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif, has kept the film on the back burner and is currently working on a new project.&nbsp;</p>
