Tanushree
said that for past 11 years she has been saying no to BB Hindi and they have
offered Rs 1,26 crore so far. She said that in her home she has her own room
and cannot live without her diet food. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is her current
illness. In 2008, during the shooting of the film Horn \'Ok\' Pleassss, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana
Patekar of sexual harassment, leading to friction on set and a complaint with
CINTAA, which initially went unaddressed. In 2025, a Mumbai court
dismissed Dutta's complaint against Patekar, citing a lack of prima facie
evidence and insufficient grounds for proceeding.
Dutta asked-
Do I seem like the kind of woman who will sleep on the same bed with a man for
a reality show? I'm not that cheap. My privacy is valuable to me. I know I can
earn more than that if they let me work in peace."
Salman Khan

Malayalam
cinema fans were overjoyed on Tuesday as social media filled with celebratory
posts confirming that veteran actor Mammootty has
regained full health. Close friend and producer Anto
Joseph was among the first to express his gratitude, writing, “The
prayers of countless people across the world have been answered. Thank you,
God, thank you, thank you.” While he did not directly mention Mammootty, the
post has widely been understood as referring to the actor, given the context
and Anto’s close association with him.
Soon after,
industry insider Anura Mathai shared his excitement, writing, “The wait will be
over soon! With the blessings of the Almighty, our Mammukka is back. We all
waited with love, prayers, and hope — and today our hearts are full. Love
you ikka.” Actor Maala
Parvathi also joined in with a heartfelt note: “There is no better
news than this. Mammukka has regained full health. Grateful to the doctors who
treated him, to everyone who cared for him, and to the hospital. Love. Yessss…
The King is back!”

George Sebastian, long-time associate of Mammootty, shared an especially
emotional message: “With eyes brimming with joy, I stand before you with folded
hands. To all who prayed, who stood by me, who comforted me when it seemed
nothing would happen -- to all my dear ones, I offer my heartfelt thanks!” The
heartfelt tone made the post feel almost like Mammootty’s own words, further

According to
an India Today report, Mithun has been roped in for a full-fledged role,
integral to the storyline of Jailer 2. He is said to join Rajinikanth for shoot this week
itself.
For the
unversed, Rajinikanth has made special appearances in two Mithun movies in the
past - Bhrastachar in 1989 and Bhagya Devta in 1997. The sequel, Jailer 2, is
currently being shot in Chennai and other parts of India. It is being
positioned as a bigger and bolder follow-up to the first installment that won
hearts across the globe. Mithun, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of
The Bengal Files.
Putting an
end to recent speculation, young director Venky Atluri has denied reports that
Bollywood star Anil Kapoor is playing a key role in his upcoming big-ticket
Telugu film starring Tamil superstar Suriya. “We haven’t even approached Anil
Kapoor. I haven’t met him or even spoken to him over the phone. We don't know
how these rumours cropped up, hence these reports are false and baseless,”

NTR Jr made
Aditya Chopra change the climax to please his fans says journalist Subhash k
Jha. Despite this War 2 is Telugu is trailing behinf Coolie Telugu in Two
Telugu States. According
to a report by journalist Subhash K Jha in Deccan Chronicle, NTR character was
to die in the climax but he had it changed to please his fans.
Industry
insiders believe this is less about friendship and more about business. War
2, starring Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr., and Kiara Advani, and backed by Aditya
Chopra’s YRF, is being positioned as the next mega franchise event. Caught in
the middle is PVR-Inox, now walking a tightrope between two giants: YRF and Sun
Pictures. The phone call from Aamir, insiders say, has caused nervous murmurs
within the exhibition chain, given his long-standing relationship with Ajay
Bijli and a history of last-minute interventions reported Bollywood Hungama
What should
have been a straightforward release has now turned into a battleground of egos,
leverage, and legacy. And as always in Bollywood, the real show begins
off-screen. Interestingly, both Aamir Khan and NTR Jr. are doing a film on
DadaSaheb, and the off-screen battle makes things even more intense.
In a
statement released to the media, the spokesperson for Aamir Khan Productions
set the record straight. “Neither Aamir Khan, nor anyone from his team is
involved in the distribution of Coolie. Mr Khan has not made any
calls to any exhibitor or distributor,” the statement read.
If
rumours doing the rounds in the industry are to be believed, director Jithin K
Jose’s much-awaited film Kalamkaval, featuring Malayalam superstar Mammootty
and Vinayakan in the lead, is likely to release on October 9 this year. Sources
in the industry claim that Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer .. Films, which is distributing the
film, has informed theatre . Mammootty plays a character with
shades of grey in it. ..This is will be the first film to release after Mammootty went for medical treatment.
Reports say that screenplay has been changed to make Kunchacko and Mohanlal
role lengthier.
In a
now-deleted or quietly overlooked Facebook post, Sri Lanka’s official tourism
page appears to have named the project while promoting the country’s rising
popularity as a shooting destination. Whether it was a PR slip or a clever bit
of viral marketing, fans are all over it — dissecting, decoding, and delighting
in the possibility that the title has been revealed before the filmmakers
intended.
It was in
the 1980s that Mammootty and Mohanlal established themselves in the industry as
big stars. Interestingly, here we are talking about an instance when Mohanlal
appeared as a character named as Mammootty. It was during the first half of the
1980s that the much loved actor had played a character with the name Mammootty.
Yes, we are talking about the 1984 movie Manasariyathe, in which Mohanlal had
played a character named Mammootty. The film had featured Nedumudi Venu in the
lead role and Mohanlal too, essayed a crucial role in this movie. Mammootty,
the character played by Mohanlal in the movie appears only halfway down the
movie, but the character has a crucial part in the development of the movie.
Mohanlal has appeared as Mohanlal in a couple of films. In Manu Uncle, the
Mammootty starrer, the actor played himself doing a memorable cameo. Similar
was the case of the movie Kadal Kadannoru Maathukutty, in which he appeared as
himself.
At the same time, he has also portrayed characters named Lal in some of the
films. How can we forget the Sarvakalashala, in which he is fondly called as
'Lalettan' by all? Similarly, Mohanlal essayed a character named Lal, in Lal
Americayil.

When Sangha Parivar is mad with Mohanlal after Empuran, Producer Allepy Ashraf
flashback tells us the days when RSS shakas in Kerala were told by none other

of the RSS attack. It was after that Mammootty’s posters and FDFS in theatres
were spared. Ashraf says that L K Advani
had come to Trivandrum for a RSS function and his hospitality was with film

Prithviraj’s
daughter Alankrita who sang for her Dad’s film L2 Empuran got from Music
Director Deepak Dev a set of Harry
Potter toys. She had liked J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World novels. Along with
the gifts, he also gave her flowers, a gesture he knew would be appreciated,
thanks to his experience as a father of two daughters. The idea of getting
Harry Potter toys had actually come from Prithviraj.
The
recording was held in a Mumbai studio, with Deepak and Prithviraj joining via
Zoom call. Deepak remarked that she was truly her father’s daughter, as she
instinctively understood how to convey emotions. He only needed to mention a feeling
once, and she grasped it immediately, delivering effortlessly. In the theme
song she only sang a single word twice, its impact on the audience was huge.
The copyright case filed by Ilaiyaraaja against Mythiri Movie Makers the Producer of Sude will delay the release on OTT. Good Bad and Ugly...
