nusratSonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety has become one of the biggest hits of 2018. The film stars Nushrat Bharucha, Kartik Aaryan and Sunny Singh in the lead roles and has entered the 100 crore club recently.

When a leading daily asked Nushrat about the film’s box office success, she stated, “Personally, to me, this film’s performance signifies much more than just box office success. As an actor, I strive for my work to get noticed and with this film, I can confidently say that people have gone to the theatres in large numbers, loved the film and also loved my work in it.”

Before Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Nushrat has worked with director Luv Ranjan in movies namely Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011), Akaash Vani (2013) and Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015). Talking about it, the stunning beauty said, “Luv sir stood by us through it all, believed in us against all odds. Success changes a lot of things and luckily, each film of ours has been a bigger success than the previous one. But it’s not always been great; we’ve also had long phases of not doing anything at all. However, we stuck together through thick and thin. For me, this success is far more meaningful because I get to share it with this team. I am today, what they believed me to be. Hopefully, and the audience willing, you’ll see us do a lot more work together and even with others.”

Talking more about her character, Bharucha said, “It is definitely challenging to essay an anti-hero character, but I am elated with the audience’s feedback. It is a brave and risky move and it feels extremely rewarding now. If anything, Sweety has given me the confidence that I can play any character now. This success has left me wanting to do more and to be seen more. Audience’s love is addictive. I would do anything to stay loved by them.”

aamirAamir Khan’s recent films have gone on to ring the cash registers at the box-office not just in India but abroad as well. However, latest buzz is that one of his oldest and most underrated films, ‘Raakh’ is now set to be brought back to the theatres 29 years after its release. The film is slated to be screened in a suburban theatre on Saturday. Filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar was the one who brought about this idea. “‘Raakh’ is actually one of the films that made me want to be a filmmaker. It is a movie which was way ahead of its time and had such a distinctive directorial voice. A film like this is of great interest to cinema enthusiasts,” Bejoy said.

He further revealed that he will be moderating a session with the film’s director Aditya Bhattacharya, as part of the premiere. “The reason why I chose to be part of a question and answer session with Aditya is because I am such a fan and I have never had the opportunity of discussing it [the film] with him. I have so many questions on my mind.” When asked if they have reached out to Aamir and invited him to be a part of the screening, Bejoy said, “We haven’t formally invited him yet. He is busy with a shoot in Rajasthan. But it will be great if he can make time for this.”

ajayAjay Devgn is a busy actor promoting his upcoming film Raid. The actor has always seemed to be a private person but everyone in the industry knows he is one of the biggest pranksters. As the actor continues to give interesting interviews during the promotion of Raid, he recently opened up about how his pranks have gone horribly wrong.

Speaking to a leading daily recently, Ajay Devgn revealed about the time when one of his pranks went horribly wrong. Many years ago, he was working with one of the actors who was a newly married man at the time. The woman he married was not from the industry. They were at the outdoor shoot where she used to come to meet her husband in the mornings. As they would shoot at night, Ajay and others would just keep feeding her with rumours that her husband was having an affair. That, her husband would just vanish away somewhere and there were no night shoots.

Ajay Devgn further said that he would tell the actor’s wife that he would return to his room at 10.30 pm. But, she knew about Ajay’s prankster side and she had said that she trusted her husband. This prank went on for 8 days. On the ninth day, they all learned that the woman was taken to hospital as she had taken pills. It turned out that she was fighting with her husband and checking up on him about his whereabouts. Talk about pranks gone wrong.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn will be seen in Raid with Ileana D’cruz. The actor is essaying the role of a tough Income Tax Officer from Uttar Pradesh. The film’s story will be based on a real-life incident revolving around the most popular Income Tax raids in the country.

Presented by Gulshan Kumar, Raid will be a T-Series and Panorama Studios production, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. Raid is slated to release on March 16, 2018.

Irrfan-KhanIrrfan Khan has been ill for a few days now. While everyone kept wondering what is wrong with his health so much so that he is on bad health rumours had started flowing that Irrfan is suffering from a Brain tumour or a cancer disease.

However, a few days back on March 5 Irrfan had posted on his Twitter account to not trust the rumours as he will on his own let people know what has happened to his health once it is diagnosed. And finally, the actor brings out his statement on social media.

In a statement on Twitter on Friday, Irrfan Khan said that he has been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour and will be travelling abroad for his treatment. For Irrfan, it has been considerably “difficult” to accept the disease as he has requested the press to refrain from speculating further. Referring to rumours that were circulated soon after the news of his ill health spread, Irrfan, 51, expounded that “NEURO is not always about the brain” and adequate research must be conducted to gain knowledge of it.

Neuroendocrine tumours are described as rare and can occur anywhere in the body. Most neuroendocrine tumours occur in the lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum and pancreas. They can be non-cancerous or malignant.

With a quote from author Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With The Wind, Irrfan began his statement as he thanked fans for their love and support that has made him hopeful.

Earlier in March, Irrfan left his fans restless as wrote on Twitter that he has been diagnosed with a “rare disease.” His condition has kept him away from the promotions of his upcoming film Blackmail, and even filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has postponed the shoot of his next project with Deepika Padukone and him.

This was what Irrfan tweeted one week ago:

At the launch event of a new song, titled Badla, from Blackmail on Friday, director Abhinay Deo said he met Irrfan and that he is “fine and in good spirits.”

Irrfan Khan is the star of films Life in a… Metro, The Namesake, Slumdog Millionaire, Piku, Talvar, Inferno, Madaari and Hindi Medium. He was last seen in Qarib Qarib Singlle.

Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan has told Blackmail producers to refrain from postponing the film. Blackmail will release on April 6 as scheduled.

We hope and wish the talented actor to come out from the disease like a fighter.
