02 March,2026 04:46 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAditi Rao Hydari has been in the business for over two decades. She has seen her share of ups and downs in the industry. She recently got candid about the darker side of fame. Opening up about smear campaigns, paid negativity, and the growing wave of misinformation online, the actor reflects on how she navigates constant scrutiny. Choosing grace over outrage, she leans on her mother’s wisdom to stay grounded amid the noise. Aditi Rao Hydari on paid PR campaigns The Heeramandi actress believes smear campaigns against celebrities are not a recent phenomenon. “Celebrity smear campaigns aren’t new," she tells HT, adding, “But I see it around me all the time. Occasionally, I come across random rubbish about myself. I ignore it because I know there’s some agenda behind it.” According to the actor, the expansion of online platforms has blurred the line between fact and speculation. “There’s so much misinformation on platforms that are supposed to be factual," says Aditi, adding, “Add paid negativity and hidden agendas, and it becomes toxic. Sometimes, too much information is a burden. The mystery surrounding actors has faded.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aditi Rao Hydari (@aditiraohydari) The actress says she chooses not to dwell on it. Recalling her mother's words, Aditi shares, “My mother always said when someone is mean, the issue lies within them. That thought keeps me centred.” Aditi Rao Hydari’s upcoming movies Aditi was last seen in the silent film Gandhi Talks. It chooses restraint, emotion, and stillness to communicate its message. It also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Siddharth Jadhav. The film is reportedly a black comedy exploring the contrast between Gandhi on currency notes and his ideals, focusing on a young man's struggle for money and his crossing paths with a thief. Meanwhile, Aditi will be sharing screen space with acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi in the forthcoming family comedy Parivarik ManuRanjan. The shoot of the drama is presently underway in Lucknow.

02 March,2026 03:59 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAditya Rawal marks his first collaboration with veteran actor Anil Kapoor in Subedaar. The actor, who has been a part of movies like Bamfaad and Faraaz, praised Anil Kapoor for his dedication, professionalism and generosity on set, and even recalled receiving advice from Kapoor that helped him overcome hesitation while shooting. Aditya Rawal recalls Anil Kapoor's advice “His involvement and collaboration on set are unmatched, even compared to younger actors. His professionalism and dedication is unmatched, which everyone in the industry knows." Recalling an experience during an action sequence with Anil Kapoor, when he was hesitant to perform a move in front of the Bollywood titan, Aditya shared, "There was an action scene, and I have to kind of like raise my hand (on him) and I was a bit hesitant because it is Anil Kapoor in front of me. Sir sensed my hesitation and simply put his arm around me and said, 'Tu tension mat le zara bhi tu kar jo tujhe sahi lagta hai...hum ek baar karenge sahi se karenge ekdam'...That liberated me completely and gave me the confidence to perform that scene. That could only happen because of his experience and generosity." Rawal further shared that working alongside Kapoor was a learning experience, emphasising the iconic star's ability to maintain focus and humility despite decades of success in the industry. "You spend a day with him on set and you will learn 10,000 things, whether it's the stories he has to tell, whether it is how he is functioning in front of the camera or how he is functioning before action and after cut. It was just a phenomenal experience working with him," he shared. Aditya also recalled what his father, Paresh Rawal, told him while he was going to share the screen space with Anil Kapoor. "He just said that you're going to have the time of your life working with Mr. Anil Kapoor, because the passion that he has will motivate you, and you will get to learn so much from him. I'm sure you are going to come back with a smile on your face," shared Aditya. Aditya Rawal on his character in Subedaar Aditya, who stars as an antagonist in Subedaar, opened up about the uniqueness of his character and the film's vision, applauding the director for carving a space that allows performers to explore while keeping the story grounded. "It's a character that is so no-holds-barred, so colourful in every way, so dangerous in every way. Even the whole look of the character is something unlike something I've done. I feel this role is truly a testament to the faith that makers have in my ability, because roles like this aren't typically offered early in one's career. To be entrusted to hold my own as a strong antagonist alongside legendary actors like Anil sir is humbling, and I'm incredibly grateful. Playing a character so different from myself is challenging, but having done it before, there's also a sense of freedom. Once we found who Prince is, working closely with Suresh Sir, it became a matter of letting go and fully inhabiting the character," he shared. Speaking about the challenges of playing an antagonist, Aditya says, "As an actor, I try to ensure that every role I take on is different from what I've done before. It's a way to constantly challenge myself, and it also gives audiences something fresh to experience with each project. I'm just glad that I'm getting the opportunities to play all these roles. Even stuff that's coming out after Subedaar is very, very different from anything I've done." Subedaar also stars Radhikka Madan, Saurabh Shukla, Mona Singh, Faisal Malik and Khushboo Sundar in key roles. Directed by Suresh Triveni and produced by Vikram Malhotra, the film is set to premiere on Prime Video in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu across India and over 240 countries and territories on March 5, 2026.
02 March,2026 03:01 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentHindi ZEE5 unveiled the trailer of its upcoming film Jab Khuli Kitaab, offering audiences a heartfelt, humorous, and refreshingly honest glimpse into one of the most poignant portrayals of mature love on screen. Written and directed by Saurabh Shukla and led by the stellar pairing of Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia, the film delves into the emotional complexities of a five-decade-long marriage disrupted by a truth long buried in silence. Jab Khuli Kitaab trailer The trailer offers a window into the quiet, familiar world of Gopal (Pankaj Kapur) and Anusuya (Dimple Kapadia), a couple bound by 50 years of shared routines, memories, and silent understanding. Their seemingly peaceful life takes an unexpected turn when Anusuya reveals a long-buried secret, shaking the very core of their relationship. Struggling to come to terms with the revelation, Gopal finds himself torn between heartbreak and dignity, eventually choosing to pursue divorce. Their story leads them to a young lawyer, played by Aparshakti Khurana, where difficult conversations begin to unravel years of unspoken emotions, lingering pain, and buried affection. As memories resurface and truths come to light, the trailer unfolds as a moving and nuanced portrayal of love tested by time. With its blend of sensitivity, warmth, and honesty, it promises a compelling story about relationships, forgiveness, and the strength required to confront the past and rediscover connection. Blending gentle humour with effortlessly flowing moments, the film stays light on its feet and ultimately makes for a genuinely enjoyable watch. What the cast have to say about the film Talking about his character Gopal, Pankaj Kapur said, “What makes Jab Khuli Kitaab truly special is Saurabh Shukla’s vision. It’s rare to find a filmmaker who chooses to shine a spotlight on older, mature love — and to do it with such honesty, humour, and tenderness. Saurabh has crafted a narrative that is not only refreshing but deeply real. He reminds us that love doesn’t fade with age; it evolves, it complicates, it bruises, and it heals. It was a rewarding challenge to portray a man rediscovering love in the most unexpected way. I’m grateful to be part of a story that treats this stage of life with such dignity, authenticity, and emotional depth.” Dimple Kapadia, speaking about playing Anusuya, said, “Jab Khuli Kitaab truly felt like a project where all my boxes were ticked — a beautiful story, the opportunity to work with Pankaj Kapur, and to be directed by Saurabh ji, all while basking in the beauty and divine energy of the mountains. Anusuya is written with such depth and honesty that it was a joy to explore her many shades. What drew me to her is the simplicity of her intention — she isn’t trying to break her marriage; she’s trying to be honest within it. That kind of honesty, especially after decades together, requires immense emotional courage. It feels great to portray such a nuanced character, and I’m grateful to Applause Entertainment and Hindi ZEE5 for backing stories that are bold, intimate, and deeply human.” Aparshakti Khurana added,“My character becomes the unlikely mirror through which Gopal and Anusuya begin to confront their past. The generational gap creates moments that are both comic and emotionally revealing. What I love most is how the film handles forgiveness and connection with such lightness, yet such depth. It’s a rare story.” The film will premiere exclusively on ZEE5 on March 6, 2026.
