<p>Everyone wants to get a bit of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan who is ready to make his big Bollywood debut but is the youngster interested? Reports suggest that top Indian filmmakers like Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan have all offered to direct Aryan Khan’s debut film in the Hindi film industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aryan is Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son. He has studied filmmaking and has even launched his own label for which dad SRK has acted in an advertisement or two.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Top filmmakers want to direct Aryan Khan's debut&nbsp;film</strong></h2>

<p>Filmmakers want Aryan to think about acting and are keen on giving him a big-ticket movie. As per reports, those who have met Aryan Khan believe he has it in him to follow in Shah Rukh’s footsteps and “become the next big thing”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In addition to SRK’s friends Karan Johar, Farah Khan and Aditya Chopra, another director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has also “approached the Khans with an epic subject”.</p>

<p>However, other reports suggest that Aryan is currently “focusing all his energy on his maiden directorial venture”. He could look at acting once his directorial debut is out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aryan has always “been inclined towards filmmaking” and not acting. This is the same thing that Shah Rukh Khan had stressed on during the release of his 2018 film, <em>Zero.&nbsp;</em></p>

<h2><strong>Aryan to direct web series</strong></h2>

<p>Aryan's directorial debut, <em>Stardom</em>, is a web series exploring Bollywood stars’ lives and struggles. Earlier this year, the show’s cinematographer, Jay Oza, had shared that Aryan’s series will include elements of comedy.</p>

<p>He said, “A film like <em>Raman Raghav 2.0</em>, we all knew what we were aiming for. The nature of the story is that. But for example, the show that I’m doing with Aryan, I can’t take the Raman Raghav approach because there is a certain level of comedy and entertainment. Aryan personally likes to see things bright, I have to adapt to him and give it to him, even if it’s against…”</p>

Rani Mukerji, Karan Johar to address Australian parliament; more details Inside

<p>After a blockbuster year in&nbsp;2023, Bollywood has witnessed another dull year in 2024. Half of the year&nbsp;passed,&nbsp;and despite the big-budget, star-studded movies, Bollywood is facing its&nbsp;biggest crisis ever as the movies failed to earn big numbers at the box office. Recently, filmmaker Karan Johar addressed the crisis as he went on to talk about the inflation period.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interaction with Faye D'Souza, KJo discussed&nbsp;the things that are the need of the hour.&nbsp; "Firstly, the audiences' tastes have become very definitive. They want a certain kind of cinema. And if you (as a maker) want to do a certain number, then your film has to perform at A, B, and C centres. Multiplexes alone will not suffice,” he said.</p>

<p>Further speaking, the <em>Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani </em>director<em>&nbsp;</em>weighed in on the factors making things more difficult such as the filmmaking cost.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Simultaneously, the cost of filmmaking has increased. There has been inflation. There are about 10 viable actors in Hindi cinema, and they are all asking for the sun, moon, and earth. So, you pay them; then you pay for the film, and then the marketing expenditure comes. And then your film doesn’t do the numbers. Those movie stars asking for Rs 35 crore are opening to Rs 3.5 crore. How’s that math working? How do you manage all these? Yet, you have to keep making movies and creating content because you also have to feed your organization. So there’s a lot of drama, and the syntax of our cinema has not found its feet,” he added.</p>

<p>During his interaction, Johar went on to share how things work in Hindi cinema. Giving example how after Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Jawan </em>and <em>Pathaan</em> became a superhit, everyone started working on the action genre.</p>

<p>“In the case of Hindi cinema, there has been a certain kind of syntax in each decade. Right now, we are like, ‘If Jawan and Pathaan worked, should we do only action?’ Then everybody’s running that way. Then suddenly a love story would work. I feel like we are running around like headless chickens. Conviction has taken a complete beating, and it’s all about herd mentality. We haven’t realized that there is a certain audience now that wants rooted Indian cinema and, without the pressure of what the critics have to say, pure joy,” he noted.</p>

<p>“They also don’t want alienating cinema. When you talk about urban syntax and alienate Tier 2 cities and the plexes in smaller towns, then you don’t do that massive business. You can make such urban cinema, but at a certain price,” Karan added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Backed by Karan Johar, Lakshya and Raghav Juyal-starrer&nbsp;<em>Kill&nbsp;</em>has garnered a lot of appreciation from critics. Directed by&nbsp;Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the movie got a lukewarm&nbsp;start at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

Karan Johar on Bollywood crisis: ‘Actors asking for Rs 35 cr getting Rs 3.5 crore box office opening'

<p>Ever since Kartik Aaryan dropped out of <em>Dostana 2</em>, rumours of his tiff with filmmaker Karan Johar has been doing rounds online. Despite being asked about his bond with KJo on almost every interview, the actor maintained a respectful silence on the matter. However, Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan's recent posts indicate that the two have settled their differences and are cordial again.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While reviewing Kabir Khan's <em>Chandu Champion</em>, KJo called the film the actor's "career-best performance". While sharing a poster of <em>Chandu Champion</em> on Instagram, Karan wrote, "Kabir Khan directs this brave and inspiring life tale like a love letter to the human spirit! Kartik Aaryan gives his career-best performance with a humane and honest portrayal... a must-watch."</p>

<p>Responding to Karan's kind words, Kartik wrote on his Instagram Stories, "Thank you Karan. Means a lot."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, on Kartik's 33rd birthday, Karan announced that he will be working with Kartik in an upcoming project. He wrote, &nbsp;"Kickstarting today with some special news on a special day! Extremely thrilled to announce Dharma Movies and Balaji Motion Pictures coming together for a film helmed by the exceptionally talented Sandeep Modi. I find myself elated to also announce the supremely talented Kartik Aaryan as our lead for this story that will unfold in cinemas on 15th August, 2025."</p>

<p>Coming to <em>Chandu Champion,</em> the film also stars Vijay Raaz, Bhuvan Arora, Yashpal Sharma and Rajpal Yadav among others. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film tells the story of India's first Paralympics gold medallist Murlikant Petkar.</p>

<p>Wion's review of Chandu Champion reads, "There's no denying that Kartik Aaryan has an effervescent charm that works like magic on screen. In Chandu Champion, he uses it to play the vulnerable, determined, innocent and naive Murali well. He is remarkably restrained, sheds his goofy, smart alec lover boy image to play a village simpleton who only knows one thing and has one motto in life.

Ever since Kartik Aaryan dropped out of Dostana 2, rumours of his tiff with filmmaker Karan Johar has been doing rounds online. Despite being asked about his bond with KJo on almost every interview, the actor maintained a respectful silence on the matter. However, Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan's recent posts indicate that the two have settled their differences and are cordial again. While reviewing Kabir Khan's Chandu Champion, KJo called the film the actor's "career-best performance". While sharing a poster of Chandu Champion on Instagram, Karan wrote, "Kabir Khan directs this brave and inspiring life tale like a love letter to the human spirit! Kartik Aaryan gives his career-best performance with a humane and honest portrayal... a must-watch." Responding to Karan's kind words, Kartik wrote on his Instagram Stories, "Thank you Karan. Means a lot." Check it out below!

He wrote, "Kickstarting today with some special news on a special day! Extremely thrilled to announce Dharma Movies and Balaji Motion Pictures coming together for a film helmed by the exceptionally talented Sandeep Modi. I find myself elated to also announce the supremely talented Kartik Aaryan as our lead for this story that will unfold in cinemas on 15th August, 2025." Coming to Chandu Champion, the film also stars Vijay Raaz, Bhuvan Arora, Yashpal Sharma and Rajpal Yadav among others. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film tells the story of India's first Paralympics gold medallist Murlikant Petkar. Wion's review of Chandu Champion reads, "There's no denying that Kartik Aaryan has an effervescent charm that works like magic on screen. In Chandu Champion, he uses it to play the vulnerable, determined, innocent and naive Murali well. He is remarkably restrained, sheds his goofy, smart alec lover boy image to play a village simpleton who only knows one thing and has one motto in life. It's not easy to match up to Vijay Raaz in scenes- but the duo has some splendid scenes together- showcasing a teacher and a student's relationship through the years." Read the full review here.

Karan Johar surprises fans on birthday, announces new project as director

<p>Actor Rajkummar Rao has established his career in Bollywood in a very short time span. Rao, who has been hailed as one the finest young actors of Bollywood, started his career from scratch without any big support. Recently during his chat with director Karan Johar, the actor shared his views on the outsider vs insider debate.</p>

<p>In a special segment An Imperfectly Perfect Chat, the <em>Stree</em> actor shared that he lost a project to&nbsp;a star kid.</p>

<p>During the chat shared on&nbsp;Dharma Productions’ YouTube channel, Johar claimed, “Sometimes&nbsp;they are using it as a tool to make headlines. Immensely successful people are saying, ‘Oh I felt victimised like an outsider and lost opportunity to a star kid’. Somebody is saying, ‘I didn’t attend a party so I didn’t get a role.’ I don’t know at which party there has been transactions for films.”</p>

<p>Replying to Karan's views, the actor shared his struggle story as an outsider, he said, “When I came to Mumbai, even I was told that ‘you have to attend parties’. Making contacts is not a problem, but you're not going to a party and going to say, ‘Hi I am here to make contact’. That's not going to happen."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further, the actor shared his heartbreaking experience, ''But having said that, I was supposed to do a film, but then suddenly I was not in that film overnight. Somebody who is known and happened to be a star kid got that part. In my mind, I was like it was 'not fair'. Just because you can control things, you know some people, you can make calls [it shouldn't be done]. But yes, this has happened.”</p>

<p>Born in Gurgaon, Haryana, Rajkummar has carved a niche for himself in the Indian film industry with his prolific acting. He has been part of critically acclaimed movies and has delivered several&nbsp;blockbuster hits as well. The actor made his debut in 2010 with Dibakar Banerjee’s&nbsp;<em>Love Sex Aur Dhokha. </em>The actor graduated&nbsp;from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in 2008.</p>

<p>On the work front, he was last seen in <em>Srikanth</em>. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, the movie tells the inspiring true story of blind man Srikanth Bolla, who went on to become an industrialist. The movie is garnering decent numbers at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor will next be seen in<em> Mr. and Mrs Mahi</em> co-starring Janhvi Kapoor. The movie will be released on May 31.</p>

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Ranbir Kapoor, KJo and others urge fans to vote in a quirky way - Watch

<p>Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar took to social media on Sunday (May 5) to express disappointment with the way he was portrayed on the comedy show<em> Madness Machayenge – India Ko Hasayenge</em> by comedian Kettan Singh. He criticised Kettan for mimicking him in “exceptionally poor taste” and expressed sadness over the current state of society which accepts such jokes about queer people.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His note read, "I was sitting and watching television with my mom… and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel… a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste… I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in… this doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad! (sic)"</p>

<p>Check out a snippet of the comedy segment that left KJo upset!</p>

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar took to social media on Sunday (May 5) to express disappointment with the way he was portrayed on the comedy show Madness Machayenge – India Ko Hasayenge by comedian Kettan Singh. He criticised Kettan for mimicking him in “exceptionally poor taste” and expressed sadness over the current state of society which accepts such jokes about queer people. His note read, "I was sitting and watching television with my mom… and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel… a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste… I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in… this doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad!

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's digital debut Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is just days away from release. The Netflix series is being touted as the biggest release of the OTT platform from India this year.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's digital debut Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is just days away from release. The Netflix series is being touted as the biggest release of the OTT platform from India this year. The premiere of the show took place in Mumbai on Wednesday night and was attended by Bollywood A-listers. Bhansali may not have posed on the red carpet, but the starry affair was attended by Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Salman Khan, Ananya Panday and others. Alia Bhatt, who won a National Award for her role in Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi, walked in dressed in pristine white. The actress posed on the red carpet with her mum Soni Razdan and mother-in-law Neetu Singh. Bhansali's next feature film project also stars Alia along with Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor. While Alia's husband Ranbir was not present on Wednesday night, Vicky Kaushal walked in looking dapper in a black ethnic outfit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) × New couples posed on the red carpet Aditi Rao Hydari, who is part of the Heeramandi cast, posed on the red carpet with beau Siddharth. The couple announced their engagement earlier this month. Siddharth wore a black traditional outfit while Aditi looked splendid in a multi-colour ethnic outfit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) × Newlyweds Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda walked hand in hand and posed for the paps on the red carpet. The couple got married in March this year in Delhi and this was their first public appearance post-wedding. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) × Another couple of Bollywood, Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapoor attended the event but did not pose together although they matched their outfits in shades of blue. Ananya looked pretty in a royal blue dress and Aditya matched her with a grey suit and blue shirt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) × Salman Khan and Karan Johar attend the Heeramandi premiere Salman Khan, who worked with Bhansali in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Khamoshi, also attended the premiere. He, however, took a rather casual route for his outfit, wearing a graphic pair of jeans with Naruto and other drawings on them. It was earlier announced that Salman would collaborate with Bhansali for a film co-starring Alia Bhatt but the project was subsequently shelved. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) × Filmmaker Karan Johar also attended the event. Years ago Bhansali and Johar were known to have a long-standing tiff but KJo's attendance on Wednesday hinted that the two may have buried their differences in recent years. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) × The cast of Heeramandi was present dressed in regal best. Sonakshi Sinha, Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Sehgal, Aditi Rao Hydari, Fardeen Khan and Taha Shah posed together on the red carpet. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) × Mrunal Thakur, Shruti Haasan, and Rakul Preet Singh also attended the premiere in ethnic outfits. About Heeramandi Set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar promises to be an epic saga of love, power, revenge, and freedom. Through the stories of courtesans and their patrons, the series delves deep into the cultural reality of Heeramandi.

<p>The teaser of new film <em>Kill</em> is not for the faint heart. Pitched as the film that will redefine the action genre in Indian cinema, <em>Kill </em>is replete with a gory action sequence. The teaser gives a glimpse of what's in store for the viewers in July when the film hits theatres. Co-produced by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga, <em>Kill </em>marks the debut of actor Lakshya and also features Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The teaser opens on a happy note featuring a couple played by Lakshya and Tanya as they embark on a train ride. The two are shown to exchange texts with each other in their journey. The scene quickly changes as goons with knives rampage a compartment in the train that Tanya is travelling in.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Lakshya enters the scene and unleashes a sea of blood as he takes on the goons single-handedly. Lakshya doesn't stop at one and kills one after another in the deadliest manner one can imagine.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sharing the teaser on his Instagram feed, Karan Johar wrote, "One night. One train. One reason to...#KILL. Presenting the #KILLTeaser, starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat. India theatrical release - 5th July. Warning: This film contains violent content which may be intense and disturbing for some viewers.

The teaser of new film Kill is not for the faint heart. Pitched as the film that will redefine the action genre in Indian cinema, Kill is replete with a gory action sequence. The teaser gives a glimpse of what's in store for the viewers in July when the film hits theatres. Co-produced by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga, Kill marks the debut of actor Lakshya and also features Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala. The teaser opens on a happy note featuring a couple played by Lakshya and Tanya as they embark on a train ride. The two are shown to exchange texts with each other in their journey. The scene quickly changes as goons with knives rampage a compartment in the train that Tanya is travelling in. Lakshya enters the scene and unleashes a sea of blood as he takes on the goons single-handedly. Lakshya doesn't stop at one and kills one after another in the deadliest manner one can imagine. Sharing the teaser on his Instagram feed, Karan Johar wrote, "One night. One train. One reason to...#KILL. Presenting the #KILLTeaser, starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat. India theatrical release - 5th July. Warning: This film contains violent content which may be intense and disturbing for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised."

Kill teaser: Karan Johar, Guneet Monga back the most gory film of the year

<p>Yet another project involving Salman Khan and Karan Johar has gone into cold storage much before it began. The two had last year announced that they would collaborate on a film called <em>Bull</em> which would be helmed by Vishnuvardhan. However, new reports have emerged that Khan has decided to walk out of the project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
An army film, <em>Bull </em>is being produced by Karan's Dharma Productions. The movie was initially scheduled to start production in November 2023, but it faced several delays. First, it was pushed to January, then February, and finally May. After several discussions, Karan requested more time until July, but Salman decided to prioritise Sajid Nadiadwala's film instead. Sajid's movie with filmmaker AR Murugadoss is ready to start filming in May 2024 and Salman will start working on it. Meanwhile, Karan is now aiming to begin shooting for <em>Bull</em> in November 2024.<br />
<br />
According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Salman decided to walk out due to uncertainty. A source was quoted as saying, “After a lot of back and forth on the dates, Karan (Johar) and Vishnu (director Vishnuvardhan) were still not able to commit to the exact timelines of the shoot. That's when Salman conveyed his decision to back out from the project. Salman politely informed his decision to Karan. Bhai (Salman Khan) said, ‘Destiny doesn't want this film to happen, so let's move on.' Karan is exploring newer ideas for a collaboration with Salman.”<br />
<br />
“He (Karan Johar) might give another try to make Bull a reality but at the moment, the army film is shelved from Salman's end. If Karan can commit to a certain timeline on paper, he might come back and try his luck to relaunch the project,” the source added.<br />
<br />
Karan Johar has always been vocal about how Salman Khan helped him by taking on a role that many others had refused. Many would recall Salman played the character of Aman Mehra in Karan Johar's directorial debut, <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</em> which had Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in the lead.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On the superstar's 58th birthday last year, Karan expressed his gratitude to Salman by sharing the anecdote in a detailed Instagram note. The filmmaker wrote, "25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused... A massive movie star came up to me and asked me why I was standing by a corner... I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected... The superstar's sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him."<br />
<br />
“I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it... He looked at me at the interval point (by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive) kindly offered me water and said I'm on. I was perplexed and said but you are in the second half you haven't heard it? He said, I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don't do this movie and that's how Salman Khan was in&nbsp;<em>KKHH</em>... I am deeply grateful to Alvira and my father's goodwill for making sure I had the perfect Aman and Salman Khan in my debut film,” Karan Johar added.</p>

Salman Khan walks out of Karan Johar’s Bull. Here’s why 

<p>Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar recently took the stage at the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) in Chandigarh, where he opened up about his upcoming projects. Among the highlights was his discussion about the highly anticipated <em>Student of the Year 3</em> web series.</p>

<p>According to a report by Times of India, Karan Johar disclosed that the digital version of <em>Student of the Year 3</em>&nbsp;will be helmed by Reema Maya, who is known for her work on the acclaimed short film <em>Nocturnal Burger</em>. Karan emphasised the importance of giving space to emerging directors and allowing them to shape projects according to their unique vision.</p>

<p>Filmmaker Karan Johar reiterated his admiration for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film <em>Animal</em>&nbsp;at the Forbes India Leadership Awards 2024, calling it the best film of 2023. Johar specifically lauded the "treatment" of the film.</p>

<p>Addressing the ongoing debate surrounding <em>Animal</em>, Johar acknowledged the differing opinions and controversies surrounding the film's portrayal of violence, masculinity, and misogyny. While some, including celebrities like Javed Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma, criticised the film's content, Johar focussed on its narrative and storytelling techniques.</p>

<p>Johar explained, "I saw it as a character film based on a character who was deeply dysfunctional, inherently violent, who had many emotional issues - and I loved the treatment." He praised the film's sound design, screenplay, dialogue, and character development, highlighting his appreciation for the filmmaker's storytelling approach.</p>

<p>"I didn't go deep into the moral communication of the film - I was so swept by the narrative and the way the filmmaker told the story of it through sound design, screenplay, dialogue, character development, that as a filmmaker, I loved it," he added.</p>

<p>Prior to Johar's comments, actress Bhumi Pednekar also shared her views on <em>Animal</em>, expressing her preference for genres other than hyper-masculine films. Despite not enjoying such films, Pednekar emphasised the importance of a filmmaker's self-expression and the audience's ability to learn from it.</p>

<p>Bhumi told The Lallantop, "I watched Animal. <em>Par mujhe hyper-masculine films maja hi nahi aata. Aur ye abhi se nahi, bohat pehle se hai.. Hollywood ki bhi action films hain na...mujhe na rom-com, agar mera genre pooche, mujhe woh films zyada pasand aati hai</em> ( I don't like watching hyper-masculine films, and it's not for now, earlier also I never enjoyed those kind of films. Even in Hollywood, the action films... I like watching rom-coms)."</p>

I believe this story will spread ideas of strength and hope to a wide audience as it did with me," added Phadke.</p>

<p>“My story titled Love Beyond Labels is about defying societal prejudices while preserving their true selves; that is what makes Love Storiyaan a beautiful watch. Somen and I, along with the other directors, wanted to create an emotional and visual mosaic of these real people and their stories, and we hope the viewers can appreciate and relate to them,"&nbsp;Collin D’Cunha further said.</p>

Love Storiyaan trailer: Karan Johar presents inspiring stories of love of real-life couples

<p>What's cooking? On Sunday, director Karan Johar announced his new film, but without the title, actor, or any other major details. However, the one thing that the director revealed&nbsp;is that the film is ready and will be gracing the theatre screen&nbsp;soon.<br />
<br />
Starting major guessing game on Instagram, Karan shared a long post that had a bunch of hints, and&nbsp;now it's netizens' job to find out the details about the movie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the post, the acclaimed Bollywood director hinted that the movie had a South Indian superstar who had recently delivered a pan-India hit. The movie also has an actress who has been around in the industry for a while.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/akshay-kumar-boney-kapoor-among-final-four-bidders-for-development-of-noida-film-city-684486">Akshay Kumar, Boney Kapoor among final four bidders for development of Noida Film City</a></p>

<p>The last hint of the movie was&nbsp;that it will mark the debut of a new star who comes from a filmy background, as the director mentioned the word nepotism in the statement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The&nbsp;post reads, ''This is not a film announcement!!!<br />
<br />
But it can be..with your help!! We have been shooting this intriguing film for the past year and kept it under wraps because not revealing key aspects of the movie event to the crew was a decision the debut director took.&nbsp;<br />
So here are the broad hints:<br />
<br />
A) A superstar from the south who has just delivered a pan-India juggernaut.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
B) A massively loved actress who continues to awe us with her emotional energy on celluloid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>C) A legacy debut who is working tirelessly to find his spot in the sunshine of exceptional talent and combatting the obsession with the N word! But keeping his head down and just working!</p>

<p>The film is ready and we will be releasing it soon! Any guesses? If you guess the title and all other details correctly- we would love to invite you to watch a glimpse of the film! With love, Team (Film Title).''</p>

Soon after Karan started the guessing game, netizens quickly shared their insights.

<p>In addition,&nbsp;Kajol's name was the top guess when it came to guessing the actress' name.

Nevertheless, everything is good between them now.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In August 2023, the news of Karan collaborating&nbsp;with Kajol for his new project came out. However, there is no official confirmation of this.&nbsp;</p>

What's cooking? On Sunday, director Karan Johar announced his new film, but without the title, actor, or any other major details. However, the one thing that the director revealed is that the film is ready and will be gracing the theatre screen soon. Starting major guessing game on Instagram, Karan shared a long post that had a bunch of hints, and now it's netizens' job to find out the details about the movie. In the post, the acclaimed Bollywood director hinted that the movie had a South Indian superstar who had recently delivered a pan-India hit. The movie also has an actress who has been around in the industry for a while. Also read: Akshay Kumar, Boney Kapoor among final four bidders for development of Noida Film City The last hint of the movie was that it will mark the debut of a new star who comes from a filmy background, as the director mentioned the word nepotism in the statement. The post reads, ''This is not a film announcement!!! But it can be..with your help!! We have been shooting this intriguing film for the past year and kept it under wraps because not revealing key aspects of the movie event to the crew was a decision the debut director took. So here are the broad hints: A) A superstar from the south who has just delivered a pan-India juggernaut. B) A massively loved actress who continues to awe us with her emotional energy on celluloid. C) A legacy debut who is working tirelessly to find his spot in the sunshine of exceptional talent and combatting the obsession with the N word! But keeping his head down and just working! The film is ready and we will be releasing it soon! Any guesses? If you guess the title and all other details correctly- we would love to invite you to watch a glimpse of the film! With love, Team (Film Title).''

What’s coming up? Karan Johar announces new project, asks netizens to guess the cast and movie

<p><em>Koffee With Karan </em>Season 8 finale ended with a bang as Karan hosted popular social media influencer Orhan Awatramani aka Orry on his Koffee couch before giving away his <em>Koffee With Karan </em>awards for the season. KJo spoke to Orry about his rise to stardom, the attention he gets from the paparazzi, and his closeness to a host of star kids, including Kajol and Ajay Devgn's daughter Nysa Devgan. Orry recalled a time when Kajol did not know him and shared Deepika Padukone's reaction when they turned up at an event sporting the same hairdo.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>'I have never wanted to relate to Deepika Padukone'</strong><br />
<br />
Speaking about the opening episode of KWK 8, featuring Deepika Padukone and actor-husband Ranveer Singh, Orry said to Karan, "Great episode! So sometimes I felt cheated on this season... you just made all our filmstars into real people. When I am watching Ranveer and Deepika speak, I am like 'I am relating to Deepika Padukone'. I have never wanted to relate to Deepika Padukone! Don't relate to me, DP, please. I love you. I am always going to be in awe of her. I remember once we had the same bun, and I said to her, 'DP, we have the same bun.' She looked at me like she didn't know who I was, and I was like, 'I love you for doing that'."</p>

When asked what his first job was, Orry said, "My first job, when I was in college in New York, was for the usher position, a highly sought-after position at the Children Should Wash Their Hands Conference... Not many people know this; I was usher number 3 to Kajol, and she probably doesn't know this. This was in 2013 in New York, I think at The Pierre. She was giving this speech and I asked her security for a humble photo and I was declined."</p>

<p>Karan then responded, "The great irony! Because she wouldn't know that one day down the years, you would be in a million photos with her daughter (Nysa Devgan)." Orry added, "Yeah, life does come a full circle... I love Nysa like she is my younger sister."<br />

Koffee With Karan finale: Orry says he doesn't want to relate to Deepika Padukone; here's why

<p>Salman Khan and Karan Johar are all set to collaborate after 25 years. The actor-director duo had worked together in Karan's directorial debut<em> Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</em> last. But now, reports have stated that Salman will be seen playing the lead role in Karan's new production <em>The Bull</em>. The shoot was kicked off with the mahurat shot in Mumbai on December 29. The film will be backed by Karan's Dharma Productions, and directed by Vishnu Vardhan of <em>Shershaah&nbsp;</em>fame.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>What is <em>The Bull </em>about?</strong><br />
<br />
As per a press note, Salman will play Brigadier Farukh Bulsara. The film is based on a real story where the Brigadier led Operation Cactus in 1988 in the Maldives. Salman will be seen essaying the role of a paramilitary officer in the movie. The film will go on floors in February 2024 and will be released during Eid 2025.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Bull will present a retelling of Operation Cactus, wherein the Indian armed forces assisted the Maldives in reclaiming control of the state following a coup attempt led by businessman Abdullah Luthufi and the People’s Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE). The Indian forces efficiently neutralised the mercenaries and restored control to President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s government within hours.<br />
<br />
Salman is reportedly training for 3.5 hours every day to crack the physicality of the part.<br />
<br />
<strong>Karan's birthday wish for Salman</strong><br />
<br />
On December 27, as Salman turned a year older, Karan wished the superstar with a throwback photo from <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Ha</em>i and hinted at a possible collaboration between the two.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He wrote, “25 years ago, I was at a party lost and confused. A massive movie star came up to me and asked me why I was standing by a corner. I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected. The superstar's sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him."</p>

Salman Khan and Karan Johar to collaborate for The Bull. Here's what the film is about

<p>Karan Johar is the latest to heap praise on Ranbir Kapoor starrer <em>Animal.</em> Johar recently appeared on the Mega Pan India Roundtable 2023 and heaped praises on the film and called <em>Animal </em>the best film of the year. The film's director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was also part of the roundtable interaction which was organised by Galatta Plus.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
At the roundtable conversation, Karan Johar said, "People have come up to me after I spoke about how much I loved Animal, and said, 'You have made <em>Rocky Aur Rani</em>,' That's the vaccination for a film like<em> Animal.</em> It's the opposite extreme. I said that I cannot disagree with you more, because Animal to me is the best film of the year. It took me a while to reach to this statement and a lot of courage because when you are around people, you fear judgment. Like during the time of <em>Kabir Singh,</em> which I also loved... I was like I am going to say this and I am going to get dirty looks from certain people but I don't care anymore."<br />
<br />
<strong>Karan Johar said he cried during the climax</strong><br />
<br />
The director then detailed why he loved the film so much. "I loved<em> Animal </em>for its front-footed, absolutely conviction-based narrative storytelling, breaking grammar, breaking myths, breaking everything that you think conforms to mainstream cinema. Suddenly you have an interval block where the hero is getting bashed up and everyone's singing a song... I am like, 'Where have you seen a sequence like this?' It's genius. The end, where the two men are going for each other and they play that song... I had tears in my eyes, but there was only blood. So I was like something is wrong with me or something is wrong with him, but something put together is very right about this film. This is not an average-thinking mind. This is a mind of someone who is so distinct, so individualistic that I was blown away. I saw the film twice, first to see as an audience member and second to study it. I think the success, and acceptance of Animal is game-changing. The conviction is something that I want to have."<br />

<strong>About <em>Animal&nbsp;</em></strong></p>

<p>Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, Animal&nbsp;revolves around a troubled father-son relationship. The film also features Bobby Deol and Tripti Dimri in key roles. It has grossed over Rs 500 crore (Rs 5 billion) at the domestic box office. WION's Shomini Sen called the film 'flawed'. "Despite good performances, great music, and technical finesse,&nbsp;<em>Animal</em>&nbsp;is deeply flawed. In some moments, I was going back to&nbsp;<em>Kabir Singh&nbsp;</em>- a film I had huge issues with - and finding it mild in comparison to what was being shown on screen.&nbsp;<em>Animal</em>&nbsp;makes&nbsp;<em>Kabir Singh</em>&nbsp;feel like child's play or let me rephrase what Ranbir Kapoor said-&nbsp;<em>Animal</em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham</em>&nbsp;on acid," wrote Sen. <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-animal-movie-review-ranbir-kapoors-film-is-kabhi-khushi-kabhie-gham-on-acid-665034">Read the full review of the film here</a></strong></p>

Karan Johar reveals he cried during the climax of Animal: 'It's genius, the end'

<p>Karan Johar has been one of the stars who have always been on the radar of the trolls. Most of the time, the director often ignores, but on Thursday, the director called out a troll, who asked the director to bring a ‘bahu’ (daughter-in-law) into his home for the timepass&nbsp;of his mother, Hiroo Johar.<br />
<br />
The comment that did not go down well with the director read, "Bahu laa do maa ko time pass nahi hota hoga (Get a daughter-in-law it must be hard for your mother to pass her time)."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-akshay-kumar-on-shikhar-dhawan%E2%80%99s-post-for-his-son-nothing-is-more-painful-674437">Akshay Kumar on Shikhar Dhawan’s post for his son, 'Nothing is more painful..'</a><br />
<br />
Taking the screengrab, the<em> Rocky aur Rani </em>director penned a fuming note on his Instagram stories as he went on to explain that daughter-in-law is&nbsp;not a time pass for 'anyone's mother'.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<img alt="dsfsdfzx" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="15b0a5d2-a87b-4bbb-a179-4ea07a1fdc86" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%2877%29_2.png" /><br />
<br />
"Of all the crazy trolls, the abuse and judgement I get about my life choices and my way of being I find comments like these the most offensive.

Karan Johar has been one of the stars who have always been on the radar of the trolls. Most of the time, the director often ignores, but on Thursday, the director called out a troll, who asked the director to bring a ‘bahu’ (daughter-in-law) into his home for the timepass of his mother, Hiroo Johar.

The comment that did not go down well with the director read, "Bahu laa do maa ko time pass nahi hota hoga (Get a daughter-in-law it must be hard for your mother to pass her time)." Akshay Kumar on Shikhar Dhawan’s post for his son, 'Nothing is more painful..' Taking the screengrab, the Rocky aur Rani director penned a fuming note on his Instagram stories as he went on to explain that daughter-in-law is not a time pass for 'anyone's mother'.

Karan Johar schools troll who asked him to bring a daughter-in-law for his mother as ‘timepass’

<p>Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore made her Koffee debut as she appeared on the popular chat show <em>Koffee With Karan</em> with her son, actor Saif Ali Khan. The mother-son duo opened up about cinema, family dynamics and Saif's first marriage to Amrita Singh on the show.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The show's host Karan Johar recalled how Saif Ali Khan started dating actress Amrita Singh. "There is one place that he reached and never left. It was Amrita Singh's house. He reached there was the first time and you never left." Karan Johar then added, "And Soha (Saif's sister) tells me that eventually when it culminated into marriage, she was 13 and a classmate told her, your brother just got married."<br />
<br />
Saif Ali Khan spoke about his secret wedding to Amrita Singh. "I remember telling my mother." Sharmila Tagore intervened and said, "Actually I was visiting Mumbai for something and Saif came to me, to meet me. And he said I have something to tell you and he told me. And then of course, I don't know what I was doing but I was quiet and he says Amma you're quiet and your colour is changing and you are looking different. And I told him we will talk about it later. And then he left then I rang up Tiger and told him and there was a long silence on his part and then we left it at that. Then I said, I would like to meet her. The next day I called Amrita and we had tea and we chatted, but still quite shocked."<br />
<br />
"How does one suddenly get married at that age," Karan Johar asked Saif. The actor responded by saying, "It was kind of like running away from home in a sense. I don't remember so many things going on and I found a kind of security and an idea that it feels great. I thought I could make a home out of that."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sharmila Tagore added that both Saif and Amrita Singh were very similar in certain aspects. "Both of them were very similar. Both of them were very funny. Whenever they would talk, it would be a lot of laughter, mimicking other people, tearing somebody to bits in a funny way. He is good at mimicry and she is a great storyteller. They looked really happy together," she added.<br />
<br />
Saif added that his mom was supportive when she got to know about his and Amrita's marriage. "She (Sharmila Tagore) was supportive when I did it, and I remember it. She had said, I believe you are living with someone and you are doing something. So I said yes and she said that don't get married. And I said that I got married yesterday. And a big tear fell off her eye. She started crying and she said, you really hurt me, why didn't you tell me. So that's actually what happened there," Saif Ali Khan said.<br />
<br />
Saif added that his mother was the first person he spoke to before his and Amrita's separation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"About the separation, the first person I spoke to before the separation was my mother, who took a deep breath and there was another pause on the phone and said, I am with you if that is what you want and that helped a lot."<br />
<br />
Speaking about Saif&nbsp;and Amrita's separation, Sharmila Tagore said, "When you are together for such a long time and you have such lovely children, then no break-up is easy. Then it is not a harmonious... I know it is difficult to have harmony at that stage, everybody is hurt... so that stage was not nice but I tried. But that's water under the bridge, she needed time to cool down."<br />
<br />
Sharmila Tagore added that it was rough time for not just for Saif but for the family as well. "It's not just staying away, there are so many other things that are involved. It wasn't a happy time for us because Ibrahim was just three and we were very fond of the children. Especially, Tiger was fond of Ibrahim and he would say, 'That's a good lad'. He didn't get that time with him. So we felt doubly deprived to lose Amrita and the two kids. So it's just not him but we also had to adjust to all that."</p>

<p>Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh got married in 1991 and got divorced in 2004. Saif and Amrita are parents to a son named Ibrahim Ali Khan and daughter Sara Ali Khan. Saif eventually married actress&nbsp;Kareena Kapoor in 2012 and they are parents to sons Taimur and Jeh.</p>

Sharmila Tagore on Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh’s divorce: Felt doubly deprived 

<p>As Salman Khan turned a year older, filmmaker Karan Johar had the sweetest message for the Bollywood superstar. Many would recall, that Salman played a cameo in Johar's directorial debut film <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.</em> The film fetched Salman a Filmfare award in the best supporting actor category.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Years later, on the occasion of his birthday, Johar recalled how Salman came on board for the project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Taking to Instagram, Johar shared an image of Khan from the film <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</em> and wrote, "25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused…. A massive movie star came upto me and asked me why I was standing by a corner … I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected … the superstar's sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him…In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration …"<br />
<br />
Karan recalled how he was nervous about the narration and added, "I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated my first film like my life depended on it…He looked at me at the interval point (by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive), kindly offered me water and said ‘I’m on!!!’ I was perplexed and said but “you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it? He said, “I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH …. I am deeply grateful to Alvira and my father’s goodwill for making sure I had the perfect Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my debut film! Gestures and stories like this just don’t happen today! Happy birthday Salman!"&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Johar also hinted at a possible collaboration with the actor as he wrote, "So much love and respect for you always …Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again… not saying any more than that happy happy birthday."&nbsp;</p>

As Salman Khan turned a year older, filmmaker Karan Johar had the sweetest message for the Bollywood superstar. Many would recall, that Salman played a cameo in Johar's directorial debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The film fetched Salman a Filmfare award in the best supporting actor category. Years later, on the occasion of his birthday, Johar recalled how Salman came on board for the project. Taking to Instagram, Johar shared an image of Khan from the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and wrote, "25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused…. A massive movie star came upto me and asked me why I was standing by a corner … I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected … the superstar's sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him…In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration …" Karan recalled how he was nervous about the narration and added, "I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated my first film like my life depended on it…He looked at me at the interval point (by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive), kindly offered me water and said ‘I’m on!!!’ I was perplexed and said but “you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it? He said, “I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH …. I am deeply grateful to Alvira and my father’s goodwill for making sure I had the perfect Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my debut film! Gestures and stories like this just don’t happen today! Happy birthday Salman!" Johar also hinted at a possible collaboration with the actor as he wrote, "So much love and respect for you always …Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again… not saying any more than that happy happy birthday."

The director-producer shared his anticipation for the suitable moment to extend an invitation to Shah Rukh, affirming his confidence in the superstar's exceptional interview skills. "When the right time is there, I will ask him. I know when he has to want to speak, he will. When he does, it’ll be extraordinary because no one gives interviews better than Shah Rukh Khan. Nobody speaks better than him," Karan remarked.

Shah Rukh, known for his selective media engagements, has refrained from full-fledged interviews over the past four years, except for promotional events and interactions on social media platforms. Koffee with Karan Season 8 has seen a lineup of illustrious guests and is set to feature Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal in the upcoming episode.

Karan Johar says he'll invite Shah Rukh Khan on Koffee With Karan 'when the time is right'

<p>Karan Johar's next guests are also his first heroines. The promo for&nbsp;the upcoming episode of<em> Koffee With Karan</em> is out and it has cousins Kajol and Rani Mukerji sharing the couch and spilling details about the host who is also their close friend. The two had worked with Johar in his debut film <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</em> which completed 25 years of release earlier this year. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan along with Kajol and Rani.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The promo of <em>Koffee With Karan</em> begins with Rani telling Karan, "I want to expose you." To which the filmmaker said, "Don't say such things," while Kajol added, "I like this show already."<br />
<br />
Rani then lists what Karan had done to her, seemingly during the shoot for <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. </em>"You have snatched food from my hand, you've hit me." When Karan interrupted her to say, "I didn't hit you," Rani said, "Such lies!" Kajol added, "Abuse, it was abuse!"&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Then during another segment, when Karan asked Kajol which film of hers had Rani in a guest appearance, the actress appeared to be clueless. The correct answer was <em>Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.</em></p>

<p>After the two guests took part in a series of Koffee rounds, Kajol said she was 'staging a walkout' after she failed to answer a few of Karan's questions.<br />
<br />
Sharing the promo, Karan wrote in his Instagram caption, "We’ve hit the (rewind emoji) button hard enough to bring my first leading ladies - Kajol and Rani back on the Koffee couch and it’s nostalgia in the purest form!!!! (orange heart emojis)… <em>Koffee With Karan</em> season 8 - new episode streaming from 30th November on Disney+ Hotstar!"</p>

Koffee With Karan: Rani Mukerji accuses Karan Johar of hitting her, Kajol can't remember this detail about K3G

<p>Karan Johar's 2012 film <em>Student Of The Year</em> may not have received critical acclaim, but the film will always be remembered for launching the careers of Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt. Sidharth and Varun shared the couch in the recent episode of <em>Koffee With Karan</em> where host Karan Johar revealed that the two had tried to convince him to not cast Alia Bhatt initially.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During a segment in the show, Karan reminded the two actors of how they were against the idea of Alia being cast in the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“I still remember with Alia, the first time that she walked in, how both of you sent me messages saying you can’t cast her. One of you said she is too young. I am saying it started like this but when we shot with her, three months post that for a photo shoot, I remember she stood quiet and didn’t look at either of you. Either she was conscious or shy because you all already knew me. She didn’t know me at all. We did the photo shoot, and right after that, I mean, I knew at the first shot," Karan said.<br />
<br />
Karan also mentioned that Varun would show him pictures of other actresses that he could cast instead of Alia. Thankfully, he did not listen to Varun and stuck with his decision.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Varun and Sidharth had worked with Karan as assistant directors in <em>My Name Is Khan</em> before they made their acting debut in SOTY.&nbsp;<br />
Alia and Varun worked together in movies like <em>Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya</em> and <em>Kalank</em> after SOTY. Sidharth and Alia worked in Dharma's <em>Kapoor &amp; Sons </em>and even dated in real life for a while. She is now married to Ranbir Kapoor and Sid to Kiara Advani.</p>
