It is assumed that Bakhtiyaar Irani is referring to Anand Tiwari’s performance as Firdaus Engineer in the film.

Bakhtiyaar Irani recently revealed a stunning fact in an interview. He stated that he was originally scheduled to appear in Sara Ali Khan‘s historical biopic, Ae Watan Mere Watan, but was replaced at the last minute by a greater star.

Bakhtiyaar Irani revealed that while participating in Inside The Mind With Rushabh, he was asked for a role in the film, which is produced by Karan Johar‘s Dharmatic Entertainment. He was thrilled with the opportunity and had already began preparing for the role. He’d even shed eight kilogrammes for the job. Bakhtiyaar Irani said that he was urged to drop weight for the job because he was too big, so he followed a strict diet and exercise routine and lost weight.

Bakhtiyaar Irani told, “The director calls me. I had no idea; I assumed I was meeting Kanan (Iyer), the director. When I met him, he told me that I was really well made, but in the 1940s, people were small. So I lost eight kilogrammes in one and a half months and returned to him.”

“The director said ‘Very nice, next week deal signing’. Everything was done. I told my wife, family, and close circle of friends about it, then I told around 30 people the next day when I was to signed it. I pondered what could go wrong, so I informed them. But then it did not happen. This is the character Sara Ali Khan turned to for assistance,” he explained.

Bakhtiyaar Irani appears to be referring to the role of Firdaus Engineer, which was played by Anand Tiwari in the film. Anand has just directed the next Dharma film Bad Newz, which stars Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk.

Shah Rukh Khan had previously attended some of the pre-wedding events

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan have recently left for London, leading to their absence from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant‘s Mangal Utsav, part of the couple’s pre-wedding festivities. The couple was seen at Mumbai airport, where they were heading off to the UK for what is speculated to be a vacation combined with professional commitments for Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan had previously attended some of the pre-wedding events, notably dancing with Gauri to Udit Narayan’s “Main Yahaan Hoon” at a function featuring performances by several prominent artists, including Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal.

However, their departure for London has ruled out their participation in the upcoming Mangal Utsav, a significant event in the Ambani family celebrations.

Their absence has been noted by fans and media alike, especially given the high-profile nature of the Ambani-Merchant wedding events. Nonetheless, the Khans’ attendance at earlier functions showcased their close ties with the Ambani family.

John Cena came to Twitter to post a photo with Shah Rukh Khan. The couple appears to be smiling in the photo.

Sarfira Box Office Collection Day 2 : Akshay Kumar’s Film Sees Modest Growth

Akshay Kumar‘s latest film, Sarfira, continues its struggle at the box office. After a disappointing opening day where it earned only Rs. 2.90 crores, the film saw a slight improvement on Saturday, its second day. Movie managed to collect Rs. 3.85 crores, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs. 6.75 crores over the first two days.

The film’s performance has been underwhelming, especially considering the expectations from an Akshay starrer. Factors contributing to the lackluster performance include mixed reviews and strong competition from other releases. Despite the modest increase in collections on Saturday, Film has a long way to go to be considered a hit.

With Sunday traditionally being a strong day for box office collections, it remains to be seen if Sarfira can gain significant traction and improve its overall numbers. The industry will be closely watching its performance over the next few days to gauge its ultimate success.

Kamal Haasan‘s highly anticipated film “Indian 2,” directed by Shankar, witnessed a notable dip in its box office collection on its second day. After a strong opening day, where the film garnered significant attention and ticket sales, the momentum slightly slowed on the second day, yet it managed to earn over ₹16 crore.

Day 1 Performance:

The film opened to a robust start, with advance bookings in Tamil Nadu surpassing ₹3 crore, indicating a promising debut. The excitement around the sequel, starring Kamal Haasan reprising his role as the vigilante Senapathy, fueled a strong first-day collection across various regions including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Karnataka.

Day 2 Collection:

Despite the initial buzz, “Indian 2” experienced a drop in collections on its second day, a common trend for big releases post-opening day. The film still managed to pull in over ₹16 crore, maintaining a steady performance amidst mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. This brings the total collection of the film to a respectable figure within the first two days, showcasing the enduring appeal of Kamal Haasan and the anticipation built around this sequel.

Film Details:

“Indian 2” features an ensemble cast including Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, S. J. Suryah, and Priya Bhavani Shankar, among others. The storyline follows Senapathy, a former freedom fighter turned vigilante, returning from Hong Kong to help Chitra Varadharajan, who exposes corrupt politicians through online videos. The film’s production team includes composer Anirudh Ravichander, cinematographers Ravi Varman and R. Rathnavelu, editor A. Sreekar Prasad, and production designer T. Muthuraj, ensuring high production values and visual appeal.

Outlook:

As “Indian 2” continues its theatrical run, it will be interesting to see how the film performs over the weekend and beyond. The initial dip in the box office collection could be attributed to mid-week factors, but the film’s overall success will depend on its ability to draw audiences back to the theaters in the coming days. The film’s strong start and Kamal Haasan’s star power are likely to keep it afloat in the competitive box office landscape.

When Akshay Kumar decided to change his name, his father was puzzled

Akshay Kumar, originally named Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, recently opened up about his father’s reaction when he decided to change his name. Akshay shared this anecdote while promoting his film “Sarfira“.

Born in Old Delhi to a Punjabi Hindu family, Akshay had a keen interest in sports and martial arts from a young age. He trained in Karate during his school years and later went to Bangkok to learn Thai Boxing, a decision supported by his father, an army officer turned accountant. After returning to India, Akshay worked as a martial arts instructor before stepping into the entertainment industry.

Akshay Kumar made his film debut with a special appearance in Mahesh Bhatt’s “Aaj,” but it was “Saugandh” in 1991 that marked the beginning of his journey as a lead actor.

When Akshay Kumar decided to change his name, his father was puzzled and questioned him, asking, “What’s wrong with you?” Kumar explained that the decision “Surprisingly, it wasn’t for astrology at all. I felt that ‘Akshay Kumar’ had a better ring to it and would be more memorable in the film industry. It was more of a personal choice to create a distinct identity that would stand out”.

Akshay Kumar‘s career trajectory has been marked by significant highs and occasional lows. He has won several awards, including the National Film Award for Best Actor for his role in “Rustom” (2016). His philanthropic efforts, especially in setting up martial arts training schools for women’s safety, have also been widely recognized.

Kumar continues to be one of India’s most bankable stars, known for his versatility and dedication to his craft. His recent work, including hosting reality shows and producing socially relevant films, underscores his multifaceted contributions to Indian cinema.
