Vikram Bhatt's New Intimate Film Journey

Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Tuesday said intimate stories are rare to find in Hindi cinema, especially at a time when the industry is largely focused on sensation-driven content.

Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Tuesday said intimate stories are rare to find in Hindi cinema, especially at a time when the industry is largely focused on sensation-driven content.
At the trailer launch event of filmmaker Vikram Bhatt's new film "Tumko Meri Kasam", the cinema icon praised the director for his decision to explore a deeply personal story about a real person rather than relying on the familiar horror format.
"It is a mystery in itself that, in this industry, redefining and reinventing yourself again and again is not an easy thing to do. To be here for 35 years and to move from the idiom which the market has acknowledged you for which is horror and to come into an intimate space where the heart beats, the soul cries, and to pull out the story from the life of a living person is a challenge," Mahesh Bhatt told reporters.
"In these times, where intimate cinema is almost extinct... I don't think there are many people who make films like this. So I think in this age and time, had the courage, the audacity to back a story of a man who himself has been audacious," he added.
Starring an ensemble cast of Anupam Kher, Adah Sharma, Ishwak Singh, and Esha Deol, "Tumko Meri Kasam" is loosely based on the life of Dr. Ajay Murdia, the founder of Indira IVF, a chain of fertility clinics.
Vikram Bhatt, known for horror movies such as the "Raaz" franchise, "1920", "Haunted &ndash; 3D", and "Shaapit", has directed the film from a script he wrote.
"I think such stories are rare to find in this sensation-seeking age. To find a filmmaker who feels very comfortable in the horror medium, and he says, 'No, let me let go of my crutches and let me dive into that place where people come to experience movies.'
"In the darkness of an auditorium, people want to see a journey into the human heart. And I think 'Tumko Meri Kasam' is an explosion for Vikram Bhatt. Normally, people rise; I think he explodes, and that's why I'm here," Mahesh Bhatt said.
Vikram Bhatt credited Mahesh Bhatt for backing him even after some of his films didn't do well commercially.
"He's my father, my mentor, my guide. He's everything. I wouldn't be here after so many flops if it were not for him,&rdquo; he said.
Singh, who rose to fame with OTT series like "Paatal Lok" and "Rocket Boys", recalled a story from his theatre days in Mumbai.
"He was promoting and supporting theater back in the day when I was just finding my feet on stage. And after the third show of a play, he gave me a pat on the back and said some words of encouragement. And that's the day I decided, &lsquo;I'm going to do this professionally.&rsquo; So, this is a surreal feeling," he said.
Kher wondered why Vikram Bhatt took more than twenty years to cast him in a film.
"I always wanted to work with Vikram. He made many films but never cast me. But I think he was waiting for a great story to justify me being in his film. Dr. Ajay Murdia's story was inspiring not only for the families he helped but also for anybody who helps in giving life to life," he said.
Deol, who is returning to the silver screen, thanked Vikram Bhatt for bringing her back to films.
"After 14 years, you have taken the responsibility to do that. And you have done it fantastically well. And I'm so glad that you saw something in me which would justify playing Meenakshi Sharma.
"There is a lot of intensity to this character. There was a lot of intensity within me that was waiting to explode. And that's what you're going to get to see in our film,&rdquo; she said.
"Tumko Meri Kasam" is presented by Mahesh Bhatt &amp; Indira Entertainment. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on March 21.

Salman Khan & Rashmika's Spark in 'Sikandar'

Discover the electrifying first collaboration between Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in the anticipated action film 'Sikandar'. Dive into the vibrant beats of 'Zohra Jabeen'.

For the first time ever, Bollywood icons Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna are joining forces on screen in the highly anticipated action film "Sikandar."
The film's teaser has recently dropped, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience.
Adding to the excitement, the filmmakers have just released the teaser for the film's first song, "Zohra Jabeen," which is poised to be an Eid sensation.
This vibrant dance number showcases the electric chemistry between Khan and Mandanna, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the full release.
"Zohra Jabeen," composed by the renowned Pritam, brings an energetic pulse to the film. The song, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by the acclaimed A.R. Murugadoss, is choreographed by the talented Farah Khan, elevating the high-energy visuals. Lively vocals from Nakash Aziz and Dev Negi, paired with the catchy lyrics by Sameer and Danish Sabri, make this track a strong contender for the next big hit.
In terms of recent projects, Rashmika Mandanna last captivated audiences with her portrayal of Yesubai Bhonsale in "Chhaava," a powerful role opposite Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, under the direction of Laxman Utekar. The film has been performing exceptionally well at the box office.
Previously, Rashmika delivered a massive hit with "Pushpa 2: The Rule," opposite Allu Arjun, a film that broke numerous box-office records following its predecessor, "Pushpa: The Rise."
Meanwhile, Salman Khan made a memorable cameo in "Baby John," a film led by Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his return to a full-fledged role in "Sikandar."

"Anora" leads the 97th Academy Awards with five major wins, including Best Picture. Mikey Madison surprises with Best Actress, while Adrien Brody and Kieran Culkin take top honors.

Small-budget sex worker romp 'Anora' triumphs at Oscars

"Anora" leads the 97th Academy Awards with five major wins, including Best Picture. Mikey Madison surprises with Best Actress, while Adrien Brody and Kieran Culkin take top honors.

Independent film "Anora", the tale of a sex worker whose marriage to the son of a Russian oligarch quickly unravels was the big winner at the Oscars on Sunday, scooping five awards including best picture.
Sean Baker's black comedy also took home the Academy Awards for best director, best editing, best original screenplay and best actress for 25-year-old star Mikey Madison.
"This is a dream come true," said Madison.
"I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always felt so far away from me. So to be here standing in this room today is really incredible."
A shellshocked Madison later told reporters backstage she was still processing a win that looked set to open career doors -- even though she had no idea what was next.
"I just know that tonight I'm going to go home to my new puppies and probably clean up their mess," she laughed.
Her win was something of an upset, as she bested 1990s megastar Demi Moore, who had been the odds-on favorite to cap a late career flourish with a golden statuette for body-horror flick "The Substance."
Baker used one of his four acceptance speeches to urge support for independent movies.
"I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a truly independent film. This film was made on the blood, sweat and tears of incredible indie artists," he said.
The five wins by "Anora" -- out of six nominations -- was an impressive haul for a movie made for just $6 million, a tiny sum by Hollywood standards.
The film's triumph came at the expense of "Conclave" -- a film about the secretive and cut-throat election of a new Catholic leader that had been lent an uncanny timeliness by the real-life health woes of Pope Francis.
The Vatican intrigue, starring Ralph Fiennes and Isabella Rossellini, earned top honors from Britain's BAFTAs, and the Hollywood actors' SAG Award, but had to settle Sunday for best adapted screenplay, despite having been seen as a favorite heading into the night.
 - 'Defying Gravity' and Conan -
The more than three-and-a-half hour Oscars broadcast was a relatively staid affair, with little of the political tub-thumping that has characterized previous editions.
Unlike last year's host Jimmy Kimmel, host Conan O'Brien ignored President Donald Trump and, despite an astounding week of politics around the war in Ukraine, the ceremony had only one mention of the conflict, and only one speech concentrated on the situation in Gaza.
Instead, the gala was a more traditional Hollywood event, kicked off with glossy high-production glitz.
"Wicked" stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo began the show with a soaring medley honoring the land of Oz that brought the house down, including a rapturously received "Defying Gravity" from their nominated film.
O'Brien took aim in his opening monologue at the controversy that has surrounded "Emilia Perez," whose transgender star sank the film's Oscar hopes when a series of offensive tweets were unearthed.
"Little fact for you: 'Anora' uses the F-word 479 times. That's three more than the record set by Karla Sofia Gascon's publicist," he said.
Brazil won its first Oscar for best international feature for "I'm Still Here," and Latvia's "Flow" won the award for best animated film.
 - Culkin, Brody and Saldana -
With the exception of Madison, the acting prizes went where they had been expected to go.
Kieran Culkin looked his usual flustered self as he took the best supporting actor Oscar for "A Real Pain."
"I've already lost whatever speech I prepared," he said. "I have no idea how I got here. I've just been acting my whole life. It's just been a part of what I do."
Adrien Brody won his second career Oscar for his role as Laszlo Toth, a Hungarian Jewish architect making a new life in the United States after World War II in "The Brutalist."
Brody, whose first statuette was for 2002's "The Pianist," joins an elite club of double winners including Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson.
Oscars show producers tried to play Brody off the stage twice during his lengthy acceptance, offering one of the few moments of levity in an otherwise serious speech.
"Please, I've done this before," he said.
"Emilia Perez" star Zoe Saldana won for best supporting actress, and she emotionally thanked her family.
"My grandmother came to this country in 1961, I am a proud child of immigrant parents with dreams and dignity and hard-working hands, and I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award," she said.
"I know I will not be the last." ALSO READ- <a href="https://www.editorji.com/entertainment-news/hollywood/oscars-2025-winners-in-key-categories-1740980647585" target="_blank">Oscars 2025: Winners in key categories</a>

Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, triumphs at the box office, nearing Rs 400 crore in its third week, unchallenged by new releases. It's the first blockbuster of 2025, cementing Vicky Kaushal's cinematic legacy.

Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna's historical action drama Chhaava continues to dominate the box office as it enters its third week.
Released on February 14, 2025, the Laxman Utekar directorial, based on the Marathi novel Chava, has enthralled audiences across the country.
The film has already amassed an impressive ₹375 crore in its first two weeks and is steadily approaching the ₹400 crore milestone.
The period drama remains strong at the ticket counters, with its day 15 earnings expected to contribute another ₹11-₹12 crore, bringing its total collection to approximately ₹386-₹387 crore.
Despite competition from new releases like Sanam Teri Kasam and Dinesh Vijan's Crazxy, Chhaava remains largely unchallenged, as the newer films are projected to earn only ₹1-₹2 crore on opening day.
With no major competitors in sight, Chhaava has cemented its status as the first blockbuster of 2025.
The film marks a career-high for Vicky Kaushal in terms of box office performance and continues to be the top choice for cinegoers, promising a strong run in its third week.

Preity Zinta Denies Loan Waiver Claims

Renowned Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has firmly refuted allegations that a Rs 18 crore loan was waived off by a bank in exchange for her extending favors to the BJP.
Taking to social media platform X, Zinta branded these claims as "vile gossip" and categorically stated that the loan in question was "fully paid back" a decade ago. She also criticized the Kerala Congress for disseminating what she described as "fake news."
The allegations originated from a post by the Kerala Congress, claiming that Zinta had surrendered her social media accounts to the BJP in return for having the substantial loan written off by the New India Co-operative Bank. The Congress post also highlighted ongoing depositor unrest due to recent withdrawal restrictions imposed on the bank by the RBI.
In a robust response, Zinta clarified that she independently manages her social media platforms. She expressed outrage at the spread of unfounded rumors and criticized the political party for propagating misinformation.

Saira Banu Hospitalized Post-Separation

Saira Banu, ex-wife of A.R. Rahman, hospitalized for surgery. Grateful for support from close friends and family. Amid recent separation announcement, requests privacy.

In an unexpected turn of events, Saira Banu, ex-wife of renowned music composer A.R. Rahman, was recently hospitalized due to a medical emergency requiring surgery.
Her legal representative, Vandana Shah, released an official statement on Instagram updating the public on her condition.&nbsp;
"On behalf of our client, Mrs. Saira Rahman, Vandana Shah and Associates issue the following statement regarding her current health condition," the statement begins. "A few days ago, Mrs. Saira Rahman was hospitalized due to a medical emergency and underwent surgery. During this challenging time, her sole focus is on a speedy recovery."
Saira extends her heartfelt gratitude for the support and concern she has received. She is thankful to close friends, including Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia from Los Angeles, Vandana Shah, and A.R. Rahman himself, for their unwavering support. Saira also requests privacy and prays for her well-being to be respected during this period.
This health scare follows the couple's recent announcement of their separation after nearly 29 years of marriage. Through another statement issued by Vandana Shah, Saira and renowned musician A.R. Rahman cited "significant emotional strain" as their reason for parting ways.
"The hope was to reach the grand thirty," Rahman reflected in a heartfelt post on his X account, formerly known as Twitter. "But all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again."
A.R. Rahman and Saira Banu, who tied the knot in 1995, share three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. As both navigate this "fragile chapter," they express gratitude to their friends for their understanding and kindness.

Sourav Ganguly confirms Rajkummar Rao as the lead in his biopic, delayed due to scheduling conflicts. The film will showcase Ganguly's cricket legacy. Meanwhile, Rao's upcoming projects 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' and 'Maalik' keep fans excited.

Rajkummar Rao as Sourav Ganguly in Biopic

Sourav Ganguly confirms Rajkummar Rao as the lead in his biopic, delayed due to scheduling conflicts. The film will showcase Ganguly's cricket legacy.

In a recent interaction with the media, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly revealed that acclaimed Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is set to portray him in an upcoming biopic. Ganguly shared, "From what I've heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the titular role... but there are issues of dates... so it will take more than a year to hit the screens."
The film promises to delve into the illustrious career of Ganguly, who played 113 Tests and 311 ODIs for India, scoring an impressive 18,575 runs across all international formats.
Besides his on-field accomplishments, Ganguly, fondly known as the "Prince of Kolkata," took on significant off-field roles, serving as the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and later, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
During his cricketing career, he led India to 21 Test victories and the final of the 2003 World Cup. Post-retirement in 2008, with over 18,000 international runs, Ganguly remained influential in cricket administration as a member of BCCI's technical committee and the Cricket Advisory Committee alongside legends Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.
On the cinematic front, Rajkummar Rao will soon grace the screen in "Bhool Chuk Maaf," a film featuring Wamiqa Gabbi. Recently, the film's teaser was released; it begins with a seemingly typical wedding arrangement that turns intriguing as Haldi preparations mysteriously repeat, trapping Rao's character in a comedic time loop.
The teaser catches attention with the engaging backdrop of "Chor Bazaari" from the popular film "Love Aaj Kal" (2009).&nbsp;
Directed by Karan Sharma and produced under Maddock Films in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" joins Rao's busy slate. In addition, Rao's collaboration in "Maalik," produced by Kumar Taurani for Tips Films alongside Jay Shewakramani's Northern Lights Films, is also highly anticipated and is scheduled for theatrical release on June 20, 2025.
As fans eagerly await Rajkummar's portrayal of Ganguly, his diverse film choices continue to garner attention and admiration.

She revealed that while she isn't on medication, she is actively working on managing her condition.
During the interview, Alia opened up about the challenges she faced prior to her diagnosis. "I was recently clinically diagnosed with it. It wasn't just about having an anxious day anymore,"
she explained. "I was finding it hard&mdash;my body would heat up at social gatherings, and I struggled to focus on certain things."
To better understand her condition, Alia opted for a thorough professional evaluation over three days. The diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety, instead of being daunting, brought her a sense of relief. "Strangely, I felt happy.
It provided me with information. I&rsquo;m always seeking clarity, and this diagnosis gave me that," she stated, adding that being aware of her conditions made managing them simpler.
Interestingly, Alia has chosen not to pursue medication. "Although I can be [on medication], I choose not to.
I am just actively working on it to get through it," she affirmed, expressing confidence in her ability to manage the symptoms effectively.
For those unfamiliar, ADHD, or Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, particularly in children.
It often involves symptoms such as forgetfulness, being easily distracted, difficulty organizing tasks, trouble concentrating, and challenges in completing tasks. These insights into Alia's personal experience shed light on the ongoing journey of self-discovery and management of ADHD and anxiety.

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi is garnering acclaim for her role in the crime thriller series 'Dabba Cartel,' which also marks Shibani Dandekar's writing debut.
As Azmi celebrates 50 illustrious years in the film industry, she recently recounted a surprising encounter at the show's trailer launch.&nbsp;
During an appearance on the show "Khane Mein Kya Hai," Azmi shared an amusing incident involving a 20-year-old crew member who failed to recognize her. "A young girl looked at the guest list, pointed at me, and asked, 'Who are you?' which left my co-stars in shock," Azmi recounted.
The girl mistook her for Shibani Dandekar, much to the surprise of Anjali Anand, Azmi's 'Dabba Cartel' co-star.
Interestingly, the crew member was also unaware of renowned producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar. Azmi and Anand previously appeared in Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani,' although their on-screen interaction was limited. The film starred Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in prominent roles.
At the 'Dabba Cartel' trailer launch, Azmi made a candid admission about initially opposing the inclusion of actress Jyotika in the series. "I have a confession to make," Azmi revealed. "There are two actresses I wanted to replace. One is Jyotika. She wasn't aware, but I suggested casting someone else to Farhan and Shibani."
Directed by Hitesh Bhatia, 'Dabba Cartel' boasts an ensemble cast, including Gajraj Rao, Jyotika, Nimisha Sajayan, Shalini Pandey, Anjali Anand, Sai Tamhankar, Jisshu Sengupta, Lillete Dubey, and Bhupendra Singh Jadawat in significant roles.
