It was a holy joly Christmas for Bollywood stars. From Alia Bhatt to Deepika Padukone, Bollywood stars celebrated the festival with their family members and close once.




Love, food, gifts and more! Here's how Bollywood celebrated Christmas

<p>Varun Dhawan was not very secure as an actor when he made his debut with Karan Johar&rsquo;s <em>Student Of The Year</em> in 2012. Now many years down the line, Varun Dhawan finally opened up on his insecurities and how he was competing with Sidharth for screen space. Being launched in a two-hero film is not unheard of, but it pitted Varun against Sidharth Malhotra.</p>
<p>In a recent interview, Varun Dhawan opened up about his father David Dhawan&rsquo;s revelations that he was upset due to Sidharth during the shoot of <em>Student Of The Year.</em> Reasoning why, Varun said, &ldquo;He was tall and wide, good looking, and there were two heroes in the film. At that time, I felt that he is amazing and looks handsome, so people will only watch him. Will people even notice me or not? What if my dream only stays a dream?&rdquo;</p>
<p>At first you&rsquo;d think that would be it but the insecurity was not just physical. There was also the debate of nepotism that bothered him. &ldquo;Moreover, the negativity around nepotism also started at that time. So during that time, I hadn&rsquo;t planned anything before I entered the industry, I only knew that I&rsquo;ve worked hard and I am deserving, but people were saying something else. The reception has not always been flowery, that&rsquo;s what people feel. But, I have had to fight that a lot. No matter what happens, I will keep fighting,&rdquo; Varun added.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Varun added, &ldquo;However, I had to fight it hard at that time through my performance and work. When my films started working, then that perception broke. Papa ne bhi baad mai kaam diya, par mai jitna bhi bol lu, logon ko vahi lagega.&rdquo;</p>

Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra made their big Bollywood debut together in Karan Johar's film Student of the Year. The two were loved for their charisma.

When Varun Dhawan was 'insecure' of Sidharth Malhotra

<p><span class="region">New Delhi, India</span></p>
<p>In Varun Dhawan's film <em>Baby John</em>, Rajpal Yadav is the winner with his dialogue - ''comedy is a serious business.''</p>
<p>Dhawan&rsquo;s Christmas release is here. It's the last film of the year, wrapping up 2024&nbsp;with action, drama and romance, but unfortunately, this is a genre that&nbsp;I saw on a repeat this year at the movies. Never mind! The actioner arrives 20 days after the release of Allu Arjun's<em> Pushpa 2: The Rule</em>, whose fever has not yet faded away. While both films are quite different, they land on the same page somewhere. So, it is what it is.</p>
<p>Coming from the house of Atlee and directed by Kalees,<em> Baby John&nbsp;</em>is an adaptation of the 2016 Tamil blockbuster&nbsp;<em>Theri </em>starring superstar Vijay.</p>
<p>In Indian cinema, playing a police officer is often seen as a dream of male actors. However, not every role suits everyone, and that's what I felt while watching Dhawan in and as Baby John.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baby John - the plot</strong></p>
<p>Wasting no time, the plot introduces us to John (Dhawan) and his sweet life with his daughter Khushi (Zara Zyanna) in a small town in south India. While we enjoy their sweet and carefree life, soon the reason behind their shift to the town is revealed and the man who is pretending to be John is actually Satya Verma, a determined police officer, who in the world's eyes is dead. How? To know this, watch the movie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The story goes six years back, introducing Satya as a young and charming police officer, who is dedicated to his job and apart from this, he's a loving son, who has found his love in Meera (Keerthy Suresh).<img alt="123" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dce717eb-257d-41f5-8b84-75c07635a128" src="https://img-cdn.thepublive.com/filters:format(webp)/wion/media/post_attachments/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy 30th birthday (88)_0.png"></p>
<p>How he ends up setting a rivalry with the known figure of Mumbai and gangster, Nana (Jackie Shroff) makes the rest of the story.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Baby John: A full-on masala story with old fun</strong></p>
<p>While adapted from Vijay's <em>Theri</em>, the movie felt like a redo of so many other films, especially Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Jawan.</em></p>
<p>The similarities were striking, from the set to&nbsp;the dance sequences and&nbsp;screenplay.</p>
<p>Nevertheless,&nbsp;the film begins&nbsp;on an adorable note, showcasing dhoti-clad John living in a picturesque south Indian city with his daughter. However, this pleasant start gave way to chaotic, mind-numbing actions and exhausting things that the&nbsp;nearly three-hour film was filled with.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Like <em>Jawan</em>, the movie tackles women's safety issues, crimes against young girls, corruption, and social issues. But, all of this doesn't settle well with the presentation of the movie.</p>
<div class="ui-state-default" contenteditable="false">

<p><a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">&times;</a></p>

<p>The movie's soul is the story of a father who can go to any lengths to protect his child. The movie starts with&nbsp;John and Khushi and&nbsp;every moment of them&nbsp;strikes the right chord. But, the unnecessary additions in a bid to make the movie a mass entertainer kind of ruin so many good things and take the calmness that was created at the start of the film.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One scene that felt particularly out of place occurs when Satya tells villain Nana that he had murdered his son.&nbsp;The dramatisation of this scene, coupled with Varun's acting and Jackie's performance, looked so juvenile.</p>
<p>The first half gets smoothly over but the second half is a struggle, as there are so many things going on rapidly.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With so many incoherent things, the&nbsp;movie has been&nbsp;watchable for its impressive action sequences, camera work and background score.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And it's understandable that when the movie is coming from Atlee's world, you will not have to complain about these things at least!</p>
<p>At times, it even feels like <em>Baby John</em> is only made to establish Varun's image&nbsp;as an action hero.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film's final hour&nbsp;felt&nbsp;rushed, making it a task to understand the plot. The lacklustre&nbsp;additions and overall pacing with over-the-top action&nbsp;sequences may make it a good&nbsp;viewing experience, but it will surely bore&nbsp;you out at some point.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have loved Dhawan in comic roles and even in this movie he delivers his&nbsp;best performance, which was expected from him. Some of his scenes are genuinely hilarious. However, for the most part, the main focus was on his&nbsp;action sequences and dialogue, which&nbsp;don't quite suit him.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the ladies of the movie - Wamika Gabbi and Keerthy Suresh -&nbsp;didn't have any impact on the&nbsp;plot. While Suresh did well as the lead hero's pretty girl,&nbsp;Wamiqa's role, initially as Khushi's teacher and later as a police officer,&nbsp;was an addition that was not needed.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Jackie Shroff's portrayal of the villainous Nana is noteworthy. His menacing presence ably manages to elevate the feel of some mediocre scenes.</p>
<p>Rajpal Yadav is another actor who managed to leave a lasting impact merely with his presence. As always, he delivered his performance with earnest honesty and perfection. As I have mentioned earlier, his line, "comedy is serious business" is the starline of the whole film.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Zara Zyanna as Khushi is most adorable; her dialogue delivery and performance are praiseworthy.</p>
<p>As a Christmas treat, Salman Khan makes a special appearance in the post-credit scene&nbsp;of the movie, and his action sequence with Varun is truly the most entertaining and whistle-worthy moment. If you're a fan of Khan, like me, you will enjoy his cameo.</p>
<p>In a nutshell - <em>Baby John</em> is yet another sloppy mass-actioner of the year that was not needed much.<img alt="123" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c97d36ad-cd08-4c0d-b793-87c1b2b4468f" src="https://img-cdn.thepublive.com/filters:format(webp)/wion/media/post_attachments/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy 30th birthday (87)_0.png"></p>

<p>I have loved Dhawan in comic roles and even in this movie he delivers his&nbsp;best performance, which was expected from him. Some of his scenes are genuinely hilarious.

<p>On the other hand, Jackie Shroff's portrayal of the villainous Nana is noteworthy. His menacing presence ably manages to elevate the feel of some mediocre scenes.</p>

<p>Rajpal Yadav is another actor who managed to leave a lasting impact merely with his presence. As always, he delivered his performance with earnest honesty and perfection. As I have mentioned earlier, his line, "comedy is serious business" is the starline of the whole film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zara Zyanna as Khushi is most adorable; her dialogue delivery and performance are praiseworthy.</p>

<p>As a Christmas treat, Salman Khan makes a special appearance in the post-credit scene&nbsp;of the movie, and his action sequence with Varun is truly the most entertaining and whistle-worthy moment. If you're a fan of Khan, like me, you will enjoy his cameo.</p>

<p>In a nutshell - <em>Baby John</em> is yet another sloppy mass-actioner of the year that was not needed much.<img alt="123" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c97d36ad-cd08-4c0d-b793-87c1b2b4468f" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20%2887%29_0.png" /></p>

Baby John Review: In Varun Dhawan's film Baby John, Rajpal Yadav is the winner with his dialogue - ''comedy is a serious business.'' Dhawan’s Christmas release is here.

Baby John Review: In Varun Dhawan's film Baby John, Rajpal Yadav is the winner with his dialogue - ''comedy is a serious business.'' Dhawan’s Christmas release is here. It's the last film of the year, wrapping up 2024 with action, drama and romance, but unfortunately, this is a genre that I saw on a repeat this year at the movies. Never mind! The actioner arrives 20 days after the release of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule, whose fever has not yet faded away. While both films are quite different, they land on the same page somewhere. So, it is what it is. Coming from the house of Atlee and directed by Kalees, Baby John is an adaptation of the 2016 Tamil blockbuster Theri starring superstar Vijay. In Indian cinema, playing a police officer is often seen as a dream of male actors. However, not every role suits everyone, and that's what I felt while watching Dhawan in and as Baby John. Baby John - the plot Wasting no time, the plot introduces us to John (Dhawan) and his sweet life with his daughter Khushi (Zara Zyanna) in a small town in south India. While we enjoy their sweet and carefree life, soon the reason behind their shift to the town is revealed and the man who is pretending to be John is actually Satya Verma, a determined police officer, who in the world's eyes is dead. How? To know this, watch the movie. The story goes six years back, introducing Satya as a young and charming police officer, who is dedicated to his job and apart from this, he's a loving son, who has found his love in Meera (Keerthy Suresh). How he ends up setting a rivalry with the known figure of Mumbai and gangster, Nana (Jackie Shroff) makes the rest of the story. Baby John: A full-on masala story with old fun While adapted from Vijay's Theri, the movie felt like a redo of so many other films, especially Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. The similarities were striking, from the set to the dance sequences and screenplay. Nevertheless, the film begins on an adorable note, showcasing dhoti-clad John living in a picturesque south Indian city with his daughter. However, this pleasant start gave way to chaotic, mind-numbing actions and exhausting things that the nearly three-hour film was filled with. Like Jawan, the movie tackles women's safety issues, crimes against young girls, corruption, and social issues. But, all of this doesn't settle well with the presentation of the movie. × The movie's soul is the story of a father who can go to any lengths to protect his child. The movie starts with John and Khushi and every moment of them strikes the right chord. But, the unnecessary additions in a bid to make the movie a mass entertainer kind of ruin so many good things and take the calmness that was created at the start of the film. One scene that felt particularly out of place occurs when Satya tells villain Nana that he had murdered his son. The dramatisation of this scene, coupled with Varun's acting and Jackie's performance, looked so juvenile. The first half gets smoothly over but the second half is a struggle, as there are so many things going on rapidly. With so many incoherent things, the movie has been watchable for its impressive action sequences, camera work and background score. And it's understandable that when the movie is coming from Atlee's world, you will not have to complain about these things at least! At times, it even feels like Baby John is only made to establish Varun's image as an action hero. The film's final hour felt rushed, making it a task to understand the plot. The lacklustre additions and overall pacing with over-the-top action sequences may make it a good viewing experience, but it will surely bore you out at some point. I have loved Dhawan in comic roles and even in this movie he delivers his best performance, which was expected from him. Some of his scenes are genuinely hilarious. However, for the most part, the main focus was on his action sequences and dialogue, which don't quite suit him. Unfortunately, the ladies of the movie - Wamika Gabbi and Keerthy Suresh - didn't have any impact on the plot. While Suresh did well as the lead hero's pretty girl, Wamiqa's role, initially as Khushi's teacher and later as a police officer, was an addition that was not needed. On the other hand, Jackie Shroff's portrayal of the villainous Nana is noteworthy. His menacing presence ably manages to elevate the feel of some mediocre scenes. Rajpal Yadav is another actor who managed to leave a lasting impact merely with his presence. As always, he delivered his performance with earnest honesty and perfection. As I have mentioned earlier, his line, "comedy is serious business" is the starline of the whole film. Zara Zyanna as Khushi is most adorable; her dialogue delivery and performance are praiseworthy. As a Christmas treat, Salman Khan makes a special appearance in the post-credit scene of the movie, and his action sequence with Varun is truly the most entertaining and whistle-worthy moment. If you're a fan of Khan, like me, you will enjoy his cameo. In a nutshell - Baby John is yet another sloppy mass-actioner of the year that was not needed much. If you have already watched Pushpa 2 and are looking for something to do during the holiday week, then go ahead. Enjoy Varun's comic scenes with action but without using your brain.

India's Citadel: Honey Bunny earns nomination in Critics Choice Award 2025; check the full list here

<p>Varun Dhawan is exploring new paths. Bollywood actor who doesn't need an introduction and enjoys a following of millions has made his debut on LinkedIn, a professional networking site&nbsp;to explore new career opportunities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Moving ahead from Instagram, Facebook and X, the actor made his debut on the new social media platform on Nov 21.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Varun, an established actor and public figure, joining a social media platform that people use to grow their businesses, make professional connections, and find jobs among other things, was somewhat surprising for his followers. But looking at the actor's bio, it seems like he has done quite preparations before joining the platform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the platform, he described himself as an ''actor, investor and assistant director.''</p>

<p>In his bio, the actor wrote, ''Starting a new chapter - Bringing my journey to LinkedIn."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Elaborating further on his decade-long acting career, movies and his time in the&nbsp;entertainment world, he wrote further, ''I’m excited to join the LinkedIn community! As someone who's been working in the film industry for over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of learning a lot about the importance of hard work, teamwork, and constantly evolving.''</p>

<p>''What excites me most about being here is the opportunity to connect with professionals from all industries – not just entertainment.

Varun Dhawan is exploring new paths. Bollywood actor who doesn't need an introduction and enjoys a following of millions has made his debut on LinkedIn, a professional networking site to explore new career opportunities.

Varun Dhawan is exploring new paths. Bollywood actor who doesn't need an introduction and enjoys a following of millions has made his debut on LinkedIn, a professional networking site to explore new career opportunities. Moving ahead from Instagram, Facebook and X, the actor made his debut on the new social media platform on Nov 21. Varun, an established actor and public figure, joining a social media platform that people use to grow their businesses, make professional connections, and find jobs among other things, was somewhat surprising for his followers. But looking at the actor's bio, it seems like he has done quite preparations before joining the platform. On the platform, he described himself as an ''actor, investor and assistant director.'' In his bio, the actor wrote, ''Starting a new chapter - Bringing my journey to LinkedIn." Elaborating further on his decade-long acting career, movies and his time in the entertainment world, he wrote further, ''I’m excited to join the LinkedIn community! As someone who's been working in the film industry for over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of learning a lot about the importance of hard work, teamwork, and constantly evolving.'' ''What excites me most about being here is the opportunity to connect with professionals from all industries – not just entertainment. The lessons I’ve learned on set, from directors, producers, and co-actors, have shaped how I approach challenges, collaborate, and constantly push myself to do better,'' he added. × Writing more about himself, he added on his acting journey and exploring new genres, he wrote, "Whether it's leading a sports team in Student of the Year or exploring supernatural worlds in Bhediya, I believe in pushing boundaries and creating value for every stakeholder in the entertainment ecosystem."

Is he open to work? Netizens ask as Varun Dhawan makes debut on LinkedIn

<p>Is there something called an overdose of spyverse? If there is, I am one of the first victims of it. Too many spyverses are in play in pop culture and quite honestly none offer anything new. In Prime Video's latest series<em> Citadel: Honey Bunny&nbsp;</em>– an Indian prequel to Russo Brothers' Citadel featuring Priyanka Chopra – the action sequences are in plenty and almost relentless yet seem repetitive. Raj &amp; DK have spoiled us with <em>The Family Man</em>, a sharp series where wit and action were quick on their heels. In <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em> – the lead pair Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan give their all to the action sequences and perform some awe-inspiring stunts, yet the series lacks the thrills. Mostly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Set in 1992 and 2000, with a non-linear narrative,<em> Citadel: Honey Bunny</em> begins with Samantha fighting goons double her size. She and her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar) are on the run from men who have a connection with Honey's&nbsp;(Samantha) past. In the 1990s, Honey, an aspiring actress, had befriended stuntman Bunny on a film set. She is soon inducted into a surveillance agency by 'agent' Bunny. The agency is run by 'Baba' (Kay Kay Menon) and Bunny seems to be the leader of the motley pack of agents, leading a covert operation where a device needs to be stolen from a scientist at a convention in Belgrade.</p>

<p><img alt="123" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96e5b4e7-8547-4768-879a-b60688a7114b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202024-11-07T163512.693_0.png" /></p>

<p>Honey is initially inducted to act as a Honeytrap, but a quick recap of her past tells us that she is built for bigger things and can be an equally good agent, much like the boys. Even as Baba is weary of including a woman in the team, Honey and Bunny, along with Chakko and Ludo ( the other two agents), set out on a difficult task to acquire the disk, which the rival agency, too, is in need of.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Things changed in the covert operation in Belgrade in 1992, and in 2000, both Honey and Bunny had to pay for their mistakes. Honey, in her family man-esque avatar, will do anything to protect her daughter Nadia, who has been trained for ultimate escape from a young age.</p>

<p>Written and directed by Raj, DK, and Sita Menon, the series is a prelude to the Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden series. The good news is that the Indian version is sharper than the one made by the Russo Brothers. The bad news is that it still isn't a very consistent thriller series. It has its moments, which mostly involve the leading lady Samantha Ruth Prabhu in her feisty avatar, but overall the series appears too repetitive, running low on suspense and thrills.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<p>Varun Dhawan, in his digital debut, tries to do away with his loverboy image to play the tough action hero who is a tough nut to crack. But Dhawan never really shines as Bunny partly because makers concentrate on making Honey the fearless heroine, desperate to keep her daughter away from her past. Samantha's role is way more flexed out than Varun's.&nbsp;The actor plays Bunny, whose character gets very little layers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Raj &amp; DK's films and series have always had an underlying sly humour running throughout the narrative. The two also manage to give hat tips to Bollywood through their characters. Honey Boney lacks even in these departments where the writing mostly focuses on action and invests less in emotions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The series does have its special moments. The young Kashvi is crackling in her role as the young Nadia – aware of her mother's dangerous past and always eager to be her sidekick. Scenes involving Samantha and Kashvi are warm. Samantha's schemes with a scientist (Thalaivasaai Vijay) with whom she forges a friendship to acquire the disk also perform well.</p>

<p>I do wish Varun and Samantha's chemistry was tapped more – the two feed off each other well even though they share limited screen space.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Citadel: Honey Bunny </em>isn't Raj &amp; DK's best work but it isn't the worst either. It gloriously presents Samantha and the actress delivers&nbsp;her part well. The thriller is inconsistent with its storytelling but still better than the terribly boring original series.</p>

Baby John taster cut: Does Salman Khan feature in Varun Dhawan's action-thriller?

<p>Bollywood star Varun Dhawan says he feels good about his maiden OTT series, <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em>, the India-set companion piece to the globetrotting spy franchise <em>Citadel</em>, and believes the show will push the boundaries of Indian cinema.</p>

<p>Directed by filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, the series is part of the expansive global spy universe that began with the mothership show starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden.</p>

<p><em>Honey Bunny</em>&nbsp;is the third instalment in the franchise, following <em>Citadel</em>&nbsp;and the recently released Italian chapter <em>Citadel: Diana</em>, starring Matilda de Angelis.</p>

<p>“For <em>Honey Bunny</em>, we’ve put in a lot of work, from getting it done to executing it and seeing it come to fruition. It’s amazing. I’m already happy with it because of the quality and the way it looks.</p>

<p>“Eventually, it is up to the audience. Everyone has put their best foot forward. I’m hoping this will push Indian cinema forward. I know this is going to do well, and I’m feeling good about this,” Varun told PTI in an interview.</p>

<p>The Prime Video series, also starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, is billed as a riveting narrative that fuses elements of a gritty spy action thriller with the heartwarming allure of a love story.</p>

<p>“When stuntman Bunny (Dhawan) recruits struggling actress Honey (Prabhu) for a side gig, they are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter, Nadia,” reads the official plotline.</p>

<p>The show, written by Sita R Menon along with Raj &amp; DK, is executive produced by Hollywood filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo. It will premiere on November 7.</p>

<p>For Dhawan, known for films such as <em>Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania</em>, <em>Badlapur</em>, <em>October</em>, <em>Jugjugg Jeeyo</em>, and <em>Bhediya</em>, <em>Honey Bunny</em>&nbsp;was a rare project for many reasons.</p>

<p>“Right from the love story between two spies and these two damaged people meeting, everything was great. Then Raj &amp; DK executed it, Sita wrote it, and Sam played Honey. So, that was a big thing for me…</p>

<p>“Having Amazon back it and having the Russos on board, these things happen once in a while,” the 37-year-old actor said.</p>

<p>Dhawan revealed that he received many offers for his series debut but was instantly drawn to the idea of <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em>.</p>

<p>“There have been a lot of offers from OTT platforms, some even in the action space. For this, if I had wished for something else, then that would’ve happened as well, like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) being in it. It was just that everything was happening one after the other on this show,” he said.</p>

<p>The actor also said that when he heard the narration of the show, Prabhu’s name immediately came to his mind for the female lead.</p>

<p>“When we spoke about this, the first person who came to my mind was Samantha, without them even saying. I thought, ‘If Sam does it, it will become huge, and we will bounce off each other very well.’ We’ve got a unique kind of chemistry. I think that’s the only thing Raj &amp; DK were listening to, nothing else.”</p>

<p>Besides <em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em>, Dhawan is equally excited about his upcoming releases: <em>Baby John</em>, an action drama backed by <em>Jawan</em>&nbsp;director Atlee; Karan Johar’s home production <em>Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari</em>; and the family entertainer <em>Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai</em>, with his filmmaker-father David Dhawan.</p>

<p>He will also be seen in the Sunny Deol-led <em>Border 2</em>&nbsp;and the sequel to <em>No Entry</em>, alongside Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh.</p>

<p>“I’ve got too much on my plate now, and it is time to come out. It’s very good. I’m not complaining at all; I’m very happy.” The collaboration with his father is particularly special as it marks their reunion after “Main Tera Hero” and the reboot version of <em>Coolie No. 1</em>. “He is the only director who shouts at me. He also lectures me on all the other stuff that I’m putting out right now. He is excited about ‘Honey Bunny’; he loved the trailer,” he added.</p>

<p>The actor believes there’s a dearth of well-made comedy films in Bollywood, adding that even though critics may pan such films as “not logical”, audiences enjoy watching them.</p>

<p>“We’ve made good comedies, and they have been successful too. If a comedy is generally good and makes you laugh, then it becomes critic-proof because there is word-of-mouth, and people are laughing in theatres. It doesn’t matter what people say about it not being logical. As long as people are entertained in theatres, that word of mouth spreads.</p>

<p>“Many comedies, sometimes, which have gone on to become cult classics, like <em>Andaz Apna Apna</em>, were poorly reviewed and considered flops. We are making fewer comedies; we should make more because they uplift society, and laughter, in general, is the best medicine,” he said.</p>

<p><em>Citadel: Honey Bunny</em>&nbsp;also features Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar.</p>

Then Raj & DK executed it, Sita wrote it, and Sam played Honey. So, that was a big thing for me… “Having Amazon back it and having the Russos on board, these things happen once in a while,” the 37-year-old actor said. Dhawan revealed that he received many offers for his series debut but was instantly drawn to the idea of Citadel: Honey Bunny. “There have been a lot of offers from OTT platforms, some even in the action space. For this, if I had wished for something else, then that would’ve happened as well, like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) being in it. It was just that everything was happening one after the other on this show,” he said. The actor also said that when he heard the narration of the show, Prabhu’s name immediately came to his mind for the female lead. “When we spoke about this, the first person who came to my mind was Samantha, without them even saying. I thought, ‘If Sam does it, it will become huge, and we will bounce off each other very well.’ We’ve got a unique kind of chemistry. I think that’s the only thing Raj & DK were listening to, nothing else.” Besides Citadel: Honey Bunny, Dhawan is equally excited about his upcoming releases: Baby John, an action drama backed by Jawan director Atlee; Karan Johar’s home production Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari; and the family entertainer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, with his filmmaker-father David Dhawan. He will also be seen in the Sunny Deol-led Border 2 and the sequel to No Entry, alongside Arjun Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh. “I’ve got too much on my plate now, and it is time to come out. It’s very good. I’m not complaining at all; I’m very happy.” The collaboration with his father is particularly special as it marks their reunion after “Main Tera Hero” and the reboot version of Coolie No. 1. “He is the only director who shouts at me. He also lectures me on all the other stuff that I’m putting out right now. He is excited about ‘Honey Bunny’; he loved the trailer,” he added. The actor believes there’s a dearth of well-made comedy films in Bollywood, adding that even though critics may pan such films as “not logical”, audiences enjoy watching them. “We’ve made good comedies, and they have been successful too. If a comedy is generally good and makes you laugh, then it becomes critic-proof because there is word-of-mouth, and people are laughing in theatres. It doesn’t matter what people say about it not being logical. As long as people are entertained in theatres, that word of mouth spreads. “Many comedies, sometimes, which have gone on to become cult classics, like Andaz Apna Apna, were poorly reviewed and considered flops. We are making fewer comedies; we should make more because they uplift society, and laughter, in general, is the best medicine,” he said. Citadel: Honey Bunny also features Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar.

And I am deeply grateful to Prime Video, Raj &amp; DK, and AGBO for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life,” said Varun Dhawan.</p>

Samantha said, "The opportunity to be part of an action-packed entertainer with a gripping storyline, rich character depth, and intense hand-to-hand combats and stunts that rival international standards, along with the prospect to play an integral role in this collection of connected spy stories, is what drew me to this project.

I’m confident that the audience will thoroughly enjoy this series, not just in India but across the many countries and territories where it will stream on Prime Video."</p>

Varun Dhawan becomes father to baby girl, Arjun Kapoor calls him ‘Papa No 1’

<p>As the 'All Eyes on Rafah' online movement gained pace, A-list Bollywood celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kappoor and Varun Dhawan have extended&nbsp; support to Palestinians, days after Israel's attack on Rafah in Gaza led to civilians deaths.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The latest attacks resulted in killings of families including small children who were taking shelter in temporary camps in Rafah evacuation area.</p>

<p>Alia Bhatt took to Instagram and reshared a post which read, “All children deserve love. All children deserve safety. All children deserve peace. All children deserve life. And all mothers deserve to be able to give their children those things (red heart doodle).”</p>

<p>Alia wrote in the caption, “#AllEyesOnRafah.”</p>

<p>Alia and her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor had their daughter Raha in November 2022.</p>

<p>Following in Alia’s footsteps, Kareena Kapoor too posted on Instagram and re-shared a post by the official Instagram handle of UNICEF, in which Executive Director Catherine Russell condemned the killing of children and families in Rafah, calling the act “unconscionable.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Alia and Varun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="704b0085-2422-45bf-8099-591cfd3461af" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20%289%29_1.png" /></p>

<p>Actor Varun Dhawan also took to his Instagram stories to share the “All Eyes on Rafah” image which has been doing the rounds on social media in protest against Israel's attack.</p>

<p>Samantha Ruth Prabhu also shared posts on the latest attack on Rafah and wrote,&nbsp;“This (Latest attack on Rafah) comes after the ICJ (International Court of Justice) ruled on Friday for Israel to 'immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah. There are no words for this horror. There is nowhere safe to go. It must stop. Ceasefire now.”</p>

<p>Fatima Sana Shaikh also wrote,&nbsp;“Came across a really disturbing video of beheaded children in Rafah. One cannot just ignore this anymore. When will this end!”</p>

<p>Radhika Apte re-shared a series on videos and posts about the attack, saying,&nbsp;"We are running out of words. The videos out of Rafah are beyond horrific. Traumatising. More traumatising than we have collectively witnessed thus far."</p>

<p>Others too joined in their support for Palestine from India including Triptii Dimri, Dia Mirza, Gauahar Khan and Swara Bhasker.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the latest in the Israel-Palestine conflict?</strong></h2>

<p>Israel attacked the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Tuesday. The constant airstrikes killed at least 37 people in recent days.</p>

<p>The attacks reportedly targeted people taking shelter in tents in the area that Israel had at the start of the war called a “safe zone”.</p>

<p>Israel launched its first attack on Rafah on May 6. Most people in Rafah have already been displaced multiple times in the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The recent<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/israel-denies-attack-in-rafah-evacuation-area-that-killed-21-us-says-no-change-in-policy-726465"> attacks on Rafah</a> have led to a huge public outcry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The conflict has resulted in over 36,000 Palestinian deaths, according to Gaza's health ministry. Israel is aiming to dismantle the Hamas hideouts in Rafah and rescue hostages believed to be held in the area.<br />
Israel's offensive began following an October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, which killed around 1,200 people and resulted in over 250 hostages being taken.<br />

Samantha Ruth Prabhu also shared posts on the latest attack on Rafah and wrote, “This (Latest attack on Rafah) comes after the ICJ (International Court of Justice) ruled on Friday for Israel to 'immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah. There are no words for this horror. There is nowhere safe to go. It must stop. Ceasefire now.” Fatima Sana Shaikh also wrote, “Came across a really disturbing video of beheaded children in Rafah. One cannot just ignore this anymore. When will this end!” Radhika Apte re-shared a series on videos and posts about the attack, saying, "We are running out of words. The videos out of Rafah are beyond horrific. Traumatising. More traumatising than we have collectively witnessed thus far." Others too joined in their support for Palestine from India including Triptii Dimri, Dia Mirza, Gauahar Khan and Swara Bhasker. What is the latest in the Israel-Palestine conflict? Israel attacked the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Tuesday. The constant airstrikes killed at least 37 people in recent days. The attacks reportedly targeted people taking shelter in tents in the area that Israel had at the start of the war called a “safe zone”. Israel launched its first attack on Rafah on May 6. Most people in Rafah have already been displaced multiple times in the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas. The recent attacks on Rafah have led to a huge public outcry. The conflict has resulted in over 36,000 Palestinian deaths, according to Gaza's health ministry. Israel is aiming to dismantle the Hamas hideouts in Rafah and rescue hostages believed to be held in the area. Israel's offensive began following an October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, which killed around 1,200 people and resulted in over 250 hostages being taken.

<p>The sequel of the superhit 2005 comedy film <em>No Entry 2</em> is one the most-anticipated movies&nbsp;that the audience is eagerly waiting for. After a wait of 20 years, producer Boney Kapoor has confirmed that the sequel&nbsp;is finally in the works.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The second instalment of the movie will have the entire new lead cast. Varun Dhawan, singer Diljit Dosanjh and Boney's son Arjun Kapoor will be headlining the forthcoming comedy drama. The second part will not have any stars from the 2005 movie, the producer has confirmed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“That chapter is over. Now, we have Diljit, Varun and Arjun in the film. Varun and Arjun are best of friends, and Diljit is fantastic at comedy. So, I think this makes for a good and interesting combination,” Boney Kapoor has told PTI.</p>

<p>The second part&nbsp;will be directed by Anees Bazmee, who helmed the first part which starred Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Currently, the makers are in the process of casting 10 female actors for the project.</p>

<p>“While, the male actors and Bazmee are locked, the 10 female leads are yet to be cast in the film,” he added.</p>

<p><em>No Entry </em>was a star-packed comedy movie that revolves around Kishen (Anil Kapoor), who is the owner of a newspaper agency and is married to Kaajal, a housewife who continuously suspects him of having multiple affairs. One day, Kishan is stuck in a big problem because of&nbsp;his friend Prem (Salman Khan), who sets him up with a hooker. Kishan's employee, Shekhar (Fardeen Khan), also gets embroiled in trouble with Kishan, and both are stuck under the same circumstances. The movie starred Lara Dutta, Esha Deol, Celina Jaitley and Bipasha Basu.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When asked about <em>No Entry 2</em> plot details, Boney refused to share the concept saying he had fears that the idea may get copied by other filmmakers again. &nbsp;</p>

<p>“Earlier, the concept had spilled over and some films had copied it, or rather ‘adapted’ it. I don’t want to name the film, so it is better not to speak about it. I used to brag about the unusual concept we had but then I found out there was another film that was made with the same concept,” he said.</p>

<p><strong>Why Anil Kapoor is upset with Boney over No Entry 2?</strong></p>

<p>The veteran filmmaker has confirmed that <em>No Entry 2</em> will have an entirely new cast. And, this is what has angered his little brother Anil. In an interview with Zoom, Boney shared that Anil wanted to be part of the sequel, but unfortunately, he had to snub him as there was no space in the movie. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was unfortunate that it was leaked. I know he wanted to be a part of the No Entry sequel, but there was no space. I wanted to explain why I did what I did. Varun and Arjun are great friends. Their chemistry could come out in the story, and Diljit is massive today. He has a great fan following. I wanted to make it relevant in today’s time. That’s why I did this casting. In the process, my brother is still not talking properly. I hope it all gets sorted out soon. Let’s see," the producer told Zoom.<br />
