Salman Khan Once Compared Working Styles Of Sooraj Barjatya & Sanjay Leela Bhansali ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have worked in three films together – Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam & Saawariya. They were supposed to work on three more films together – Padmavati, Bajirao Mastani, and Inshallah.

With Sam Bahadur Box Office & Animal Box Office Collection Day 1, Ranbir Kapoor & Vicky Kaushal Achieved A Rare Feat. ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal have clashed with Animal and Sam Bahadur on December 1. The results of this clash were obvious – Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film collected 63.80 crore on the first day of its release. On the other hand, Meghna Gulzar’s war drama registered 6.25 crore on day 1.

Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Saawariya clashed with Om Shanti Om at the box office. This was a superstar clash. Ranbir Kapoor collected 3 crore on the first day, and the film earned only 23.67 crore at the Box Office in total.

Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor has spoken out against the gender pay gap that exists in the industry, in which male Bollywood stars are typically paid much more than their female counterparts.
Kapoor was speaking at the Creative Industries and Cultural Economy Summit at London’s Nehru Centre as part of India Global Forum’s U.K.-India Week on Wednesday. She was in conversation with Amish Tripathi, minister (culture and education), Indian High Commission and director Nehru Centre, who is also a bestselling author.
Kapoor said that while Bollywood is changing, the change isn’t quick enough. “The gender pay gap is humongous. And I don’t think that will be narrowing very soon, unfortunately, but the roles are getting meatier for sure,” Kapoor said, adding that her contemporaries like Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone have pursued films where they could play the central character.

From the time she entered Bollywood in 2007 with "Saawariya", Sonam Kapoor Ahuja mostly courted the limelight as a fashionista and a highly-opinionated person rather than with her acting skills -- till "Neerja" in 2016 changed that opinion for many. While the actress is happy with her career graph, she now wishes to be part of horror and action films.
"I haven't done any action and horror films, so these are the two genres I would love to explore. It would be so different and exciting for me because I haven't done anything on the action. So, one of these two genres would be interesting to try out," Sonam, who looks forward to working with filmmakers Vishal Bhardwaj and Shoojit Sircar, told a publication.

Song remakes are a way of Bollywood life in 2019. Certainly over the last few years every film has had at least 1 remake within its album, whether that be a re-do of an old great song, a re-interpretation of a pop song or song originally written for another language, or even just a mashup tune that reminds us of a bunch of songs. Each in their own way can be good as at the very least they remind those who know of the original song and those who didn’t weren’t given a chance to explore the reason why they warranted a remake. Below is a list of those remakes – the ones that work as their own songs, ones that joined our playlists even knowing the originals that they came from because they in themselves were good.

Zoë Kravitz has been keeping a big little secret: She got engaged to actor Karl Glusman in February.
The Big Little Lies star, 29, revealed her happy news in a Rolling Stone cover story. “Oh yeah, I’m engaged,” Kravitz confirmed after the reporter spotted her ring. “I haven’t told anyone yet — I mean, I haven’t told the world. I wanted to keep it private.”
Glusman, who met Kravitz at a bar two years ago, had intended to propose in Paris but moved the moment to the couple’s living room when work schedules scrambled his plans, according to the magazine.

It felt like part of Childish Gambino died last night. As his sturdy frame lumbered through golden LSD obelisks and beads of sweat pooled on his back as “Redbone” played, he had the bearing of an exhausted man leaving behind a husk he’d never return to collect.
At the outset of the first Madison Square Garden stop on the ‘This Is America’ Tour, Donald Glover let the audience know that this is “the last Childish Gambino tour ever.” And he made good on his big promise for the night: “This is not a concert,...

Om Shanti Om, as soon as you read the title, I bet like me, the music and the film immediately begins to play in your head. Directed by Farah Khan, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade, Kirron Kher and introduced Deepika Padukone. If you can believe it, it has been 10 years since the magic of Oso hit the big screen.
It is as Farah says, a movie, within a movie within a movie. Set in the 70s and present day, Om Shanti Om has films, stars, sets, drama, dance, action, romance, revenge, reincarnation and finally Happys Endings. It is a movie that has it all and more!
To set the stage check out the trailer that gives you a glimpse into the world of Om and Shantipriya.
I was very lucky to be able to have an in-depth conversation with director Farah Khan about Om Shanti Om.
