Saif Ali Khan On Winning National Award ( Photo Credit – Instagram; Facebook )
The year 2005 was known for some excellent releases and incredible performances. The contenders for the Nation Award were between Shah Rukh Khan for Swades and Saif Ali Khan for Hum Tum. Often, people say that Srk deserved the award for his performance in Ashutosh Gowariker’s movie. However, Saif won it for his performance in Hum Tum.
It will be two decades since Saif Ali Khan received the National Award. But often, netizens discuss that the actor received it only because his mother and veteran actor Sharmila Tagore was the chairperson of the Cbfc. After all these years, Saif has finally reacted to the discussion that he received the award instead of Shah Rukh Khan because of his mother.

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi has recounted an old story of the acclaimed screenwriter, poet and director Javed Akhtar from the latter’s early days. Detailing her husband’s struggles, she said that the composer arrived in Mumbai with 27 paisa in his pocket and only had a heart full of dreams and determination, which eventually saw him through and made him successful.
Taking to X, the ‘Masoom’ actress detailed Javed Akhtar’s earliest days as a young man who arrived in Mumbai back in the 1960s and wrote, “On October 4, 1964, a young man arrived at Bombay Central Station with 27 naya paisa in his pocket and a heart full of dreams. And then Life happened.”

Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who was recently seen in the Nikhil Mahajan-directorial ‘I Love You’, has spoken about her upcoming sci-fi film ‘Ayalaan’, which she went on to call a ‘once in a lifetime experience’.
‘Ayalaan’, which is directed by Tamil filmmaker R Ravi Kumar is a sci-fi-extraterrestrial-comedy film which employs a great deal of VFX and high-quality CGI. While using CGI in Indian films is nothing new, having a movie with more than 4,500 CGI shots is a new one.
Talking about the film, the actress said: “Oh, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Because there is an extraterrestrial in the picture, and you know there isn’t one when you’re shooting, but you’re assuming there is. You must shoot it in such a way that people believe the film has an actual alien.”
“You’re reacting to a prop, you’re reacting to nothing, and you have to do it convincingly.

Cher is an icon. She has conquered music, television, and movies, even winning an Academy Award for Moonstruck in 1987. Since divorcing her husband and The Sonny & Cher Show co-star Sonny Bono in 1975, she has made headlines for her love life. That includes a celebrity relationship with a much younger Rob Camilletti.

In 1986, Camilletti was working at a bagel shop in Queens, New York (hence the nickname “Bagel Boy”) when he met Cher during a night out with friends on her 40th birthday.
He was 18 years her junior, but the star was struck. A year later, he moved in with her and also starred in the music video for her hit song “I Found Someone.” He was her date for the 1988 Oscars when she won her Academy Award.

Exclusive: Cher just tweeted out that on the eve of celebrating her 75th birthday Thursday, she’ll have her life story unfold on movie screens through Universal Pictures. It is a major effort with heavy hitters, and here’s what is happening.
The as yet untitled film will be scripted by Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth, whose recent efforts include adapting Killers of the Flower Moon that is currently in production with Martin Scorsese directing Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, and co-writing the upcoming Denis Villenueve-directed Dune epic. The Cher film will be produced by Judy Craymer — whose brainstorm it was to turn the Abba song catalog into the stage musical smash Mamma Mia! — and Playtone’s Gary Goetzman, who produced the Mamma Mia! films with Craymer. That duo will produce with Cher, who starred in the Mamma Mia! sequel. Cher just produced Kaavan, The World’s Loneliest Elephant, which is streaming on Paramount.

When the going gets tough, Bollywood thinks big. Reeling under the twin effect of the pandemic and Ott influx, which have dented business, Bollywood is pulling all stops with mega-budget announcements, to woo fans back to the halls. Among emerging trends is the superhero movie.
The genre is not exactly new -- Hrithik Roshan did star in the "Krrish" films, after all. But at no point in time has the Hindi film industry got into making so many superhero flicks at the same time as now. Trade analysts see it as a good trend, especially in these times when theatres are trying to pull the audience back amid the pandemic.
Hollywood, of course, is a big influence, as everything else about Bollywood. Global blockbusters as "The Dark Knight" series", the "Avengers" films, "Black Panther", "Wonder Woman", "Captain America: Civil War", and "Justice League" among others set the cash registers ringing in India,...
