Salman was the last one to know about Alizeh's desire to be an actress

Salman Khan is unquestionably the biggest superstar in the country. The star of the masses has an ardent following around the world. The star of the nation, Salman Khan is always known for supporting his friends and family. His love for the family is incomparable and time and again Salman has proved it.    A perfect example of it can be seen when Salman Khan's niece Alizeh Agnihotri was launched in 'Farrey', made under his banner Salman Khan Films. Recently Salman and Alizeh have been featured on the front cover of the leading magazine. The superstar shared his words on Alizeh's dream of becoming an actress and also the moment he came to know about her dream. Speaking about the same, Salman said, “Alizeh is extremely simple in terms of how she dresses, and she doesn’t wear much makeup. So I didn’t think she wanted to be a part of this industry. But after her studies, she realised she did. I was the last to know! Though I must say she has worked very hard on her own.” 'Farrey' stars Alizeh, Ronit Roy, Sahil Mehta, Zeyn Shaw, and Prasanna Bisht. It follows the story of Niyati, an orphaned genius who lands a scholarship at a prestigious school. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she becomes entangled in a cheating racket after helping a wealthy but academically weak classmate during exams. Alizeh is the daughter of Salman's sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and actor-producer Atul Agnihotri. She spoke about how the cast members were under no pressure, though her uncle is the presenter of the film. When asked if her uncle wanted them to act in a particular way, or put any pressure on them, Alizeh told IANS, "There was no pressure from him at all. He gave us all freedom and never interfered while we were shooting the film. We all had only one motive and that was to have fun." Meanwhile, Salman Khan is coming to the next Eid 2025 with 'Sikandar', produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by AR Murugadoss. Rashmika Mandanna, who is currently experiencing a dream run in the movies, will be portraying the female lead in the upcoming film. AR Murugadoss is known for films like 'Ghajini' and 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty'.  (With inputs from IANS)

Akshay Kumar talks about an incident in Bangkok on 'Dhawan Karenge'

Actor Akshay Kumar, who graced ace cricketer Shikhar Dhawan's new chat show 'Dhawan Karenge,' recalled an incident in Bangkok that taught him the "significance of humility". He shared, "My father realized my disinterest in studies and helped me move to Bangkok at an early age. I liked the country. Right from the minute you leave the plane, you find everyone bowing down to you with their hands joined. It feels very nice and beautiful especially when you realize that it's actually taken from our culture and followed so politely there." While talking about a significant incident during his stay in Bangkok, he added, "I remember an incident that taught me the significance of humility and bowing down. When you humble yourself, you gain the resilience to navigate through any challenge or obstacle. Once, while driving, I accidentally collided with the bike of an RTO officer while making a turn, causing both of us to fall. Scared, I immediately apologized, bowing to him. The officer assisted me in getting my bike and helmet up and calmly advised me to drive slowly and carefully." Talking about his movies, Akshay was last seen in 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.' The movie directed by Ali Abbas Zafar boasts an ensemble cast featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran in a captivating villainous role, alongside Sonakshi Sinha, Manushi Chhillar, and Alaya F in significant parts. 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' which was released in cinemas on April 10, 2024, faced a clash at the box office with Ajay Devgn's 'Maidaan'. He is gearing up for 'Jolly LLB 3'. Recently, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi wrapped up the Jolly 'LLB 3' Rajasthan shoot. Taking to his Instagram handle, Akshay shared a video from the set of 'Jolly LLB 3' with co-star Arshad Warsi. Kumar and Warsi are seen riding bikes in the footage while covered in blood. The video hints that the BTS may be from a combat scene in the film.Akshay captioned the video, " And that's a schedule wrap! As you can see both the Jollys had a jolly good time in Rajasthan. #JollyLLB3" In 2017, Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi starred in Jolly LLB 2, a spiritual sequel to Jolly LLB, released in 2013. The first film featured Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles. Amrita Rao also starred in the first part.

Janhvi Kapoor reveals 6-hour daily training regimen for 'Mr & Mrs Mahi'

In a whirlwind of dedication and determination, Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up to enthral audiences with her upcoming Sharan Sharma directorial 'Mr & Mrs Mahi,' alongside RajKummar Rao. During the film's promotional event in Delhi on Tuesday, Janhvi shed light on the arduous journey she embarked on to step into the shoes of her character, Mahi, a doctor turned cricketer. With the trailer already released, excitement is building among fans. During the promotion, Janhvi revealed the strenuous preparation she underwent for her role, which involved rigorous strength training and a demanding fitness regimen. The 27-year-old actor shared, "I wasn't very radiant while shooting for this film. When I started preparing for this film, I was promoting 'Good Luck Jerry'. I was possibly shooting for 'Mili' and I was about 8-9 kilos heavier. Sharan was very stressed and told me that I didn't look like a cricketer. He said if I really wanted to do this film, I needed to start losing weight and begin cricket training." This marked the beginning of an intense transformation for Janhvi. Her daily routine was packed with physical training, guided by her coach, Abhishek Nair. "My daily routine was very intense. I was at the peak of my training, and my coach, Abhishek Nair, said that the training I was undergoing was more intense as what they did with their IPL players," Janhvi elaborated. She also shared that her training routine included gruelling sessions in the nets with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players, strength training, conditioning, cardio, and cricket practice spanning over five to six hours every day. Janhvi's commitment to her role led her to adopt a strict low-carb diet, causing noticeable changes in her physique that even her fellow filmmakers couldn't overlook. "I used to wake up in the morning and practice in the nets with the KKR players, who he had recruited. We would practice there for 2 hours. Then I would go to Bandra for strength training, conditioning, and cardio, which took about an hour. After that, I would attend meetings. If there was a shoot, I would go for the shoot, and after wrapping up, I would practice for another 2 hours at a ground in Bandra. So yeah, it was almost 5-6 hours of physical training every day. I was following a very low-carb diet and shooting simultaneously for other projects," she said. "My other directors and producers were getting very upset because I kept losing weight. I remember going to one schedule of the 'Bawaal' set, and Nitesh sir looked at me and said, 'You've become so thin.' I was also shooting for 'Devara' for two days, and everyone remarked that I didn't look as glowing as I used to and that I looked tired. This was all during the course of this film, and I think it went on for a while. But now, I'm starting to feel like myself again, and of course, each of these challenges will take me through a longer process," Janhvi shared. However, the path to transformation was not without its hurdles. The makers recently released a behind-the-scenes clip showcasing Janhvi's transformation journey. The clip includes insights from the director, Sharan Sharma, the coaches, and Janhvi herself. In the clip, Sharma explains that Janhvi initially assumed the training would be similar to her preparations for 'Gunjan Saxena,' but quickly realised it was a completely different challenge. The coaches detailed how Janhvi was taken through a cricket workshop and observed international cricketers, which was an essential part of her training. Janvhi revealed that during the training process, she suffered ligament injuries on both shoulders, uncovering her multidirectional instability. The director revealed that Janhvi has multidirectional instability (MDI), which is beneficial for dancers but problematic for cricketers. Despite these setbacks, she persevered and completed her training. In the BTS clip, Janhvi candidly admits to being the "most unathletic person" who had no prior knowledge of cricket.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) She shared a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes journey on her Instagram, expressing gratitude to her trainers. "The two years of training that went into this film was such a huge part of my routine and life - that no one saw. It feels weird looking back at myself in all different shapes and sizes and levels of my game but the one thing that stayed with me the most was the courage, motivation, guidance, and strength I got from the faith that both my coaches had in me. Abhishek Nayar and Vikrant Yeligeti thank you for everything!! And sorry for all the days I was irritating, I know there were a few." 'Mr & Mrs Mahi' marks Janhvi's second collaboration with director Sharan Sharma, who previously helmed 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.' The film also reunites her with Rajkummar Rao, following their successful pairing in 'Roohi.' Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the film is set to hit theatres on May 31.

Sanjay Dutt backs out of Akshay Kumar starrer Welcome to the Jungle

‘Welcome to the Jungle’ has been creating a lot of buzz ever since the makers announced the project. The movie boasts a star-studded cast and has been making headlines ever since. However, sad news has emerged from the set. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Sanjay Dutt is no longer part of the comic caper. The report reveals that after shooting for about 15 days, Sanjay Dutt has bid adieu to the film. A source close to the development stated, “Sanjay Dutt has cited date issues for his exit. He has conveyed all the issues to his dear friend Akshay, who took the points into account and holds no bad blood. Sanjay Dutt felt that the 'Welcome To The Jungle' shoot was happening in an unplanned way, with too many changes in the script, disturbing his shooting schedule. Hence, he has parted ways.” Since Sanjay Dutt has already shot for 15 days, the makers are now undecided whether to retain what he has filmed or opt for a complete re-shoot. The source added, “Sanjay Dutt has shot some funny portions of 'Welcome To The Jungle' in the first schedule, and the makers are tempted to retain his scenes and credit Sanjay Dutt for a guest appearance.” The film ‘Welcome to the Jungle' went on floors in December 2023 in Mumbai. It features a massive ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Johny Lever, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Rahul Dev, and singer-brothers Daler Mehndi and Mika Singh. The movie is committed to entertaining a diverse range of audiences, from children to grandparents, staying true to its comic legacy. ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ guarantees an experience filled with cool comedy punches, one-liners, and the magic of the Welcome Universe.  Base Industries Group presents 'Welcome To The Jungle', produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwallah and directed by Ahmed Khan, slated for a grand theatrical release in the Christmas week, on December 20, 2024.
