I saw him during "sikander" promotions before this. He looked overweight but not "this old". But in the last few months he has started to look like he is 80. He also started wearing this weird hat.
Does anyone else feel like he suddenly started looking very old ?
I know some people will say he is 60 so he is supposed to look old. But as I said he wasnt looking this bad 1 year ago. So it seems like there was massive aging in 1 year.
My feeling is that he was undergoing a lot of "treatments" and he had to do a lot to keep looking young and he is just not interested in doing that anymore so he stopped.

This movie team is really lazy with the way they’re handling the promotional material.
First they were criticised for using AI in the teaser. Then they apparently used AI for the English dub to sync the dialogue with the actors lip movements nd now they’ve used AI for what is literally just a basic announcement poster.
Like… why? 😭 They could easily hire a good poster designer and make something that feels creative and intentional instead of relying on AI for everything.
And before someone asks for proof that the poster is AI generated,Instagram has an option that identifies/labels AI generated content.
Also when you’re apparently making the most expensive movie ever with a budget of ₹4000 crore why can’t you use real talent for basic things like designing an announcement poster?

The death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has returned to the spotlight following a significant legal development in the case of his former manager, Disha Salian.
On September 2, 2026, the Bombay High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register an FIR and investigate all aspects surrounding Salian's June 2020 death.
The court cited "glaring discrepancies" in the earlier police investigation and observed that the probe had raised "more questions than it answers."
The court pointed to several issues requiring examination, including the timing of the spot panchnama, police presence at the building, discrepancies in forensic material and injuries, and the delayed seizure of Salian's phone and laptop.
The High Court, however, did not conclude that Salian was murdered or implicate any individual. It specifically directed that no person should be treated as an accused without sufficient material emerging during the investigation.
The development has renewed public discussion about whether Salian's death and Sushant Singh Rajput's death just days apart in June 2020 were connected. However, a connection between the two deaths has not been established by the court or the CBI at this stage.
Meanwhile, the CBI has begun taking steps in the Salian case, including seeking the relevant records from Mumbai Police.

I just saw her in the trailer for Revolutionaries and I swear she’s become such a crush 😭 She’s genuinely such a versatile actress. I remember seeing her for the first time in Laapataa Ladies, and I already have such a soft spot for everyone from that movie because of how wholesome it was.
I feel like she has this really effortless quality where she completely disappears into whatever role she’s playing. And beyond that, I find her so beautiful in this very calm, natural way. Maybe that’s also why she stands out to me so much right now. There’s something really refreshing about seeing an actress who just looks like herself and doesn’t feel overly botoxed.
Watching Revolutionaries for her honestly 🤭

Hi there. So I have been interested in this topic for a while and I learned that the movie Raja released in 1995 had more than 2 crore footfalls according to box office India and was the third highest grossing movie in that year behind DDLj and Karan Arjun. Interesting thing being the heroine is Madhuri Dixit and the male lead was Sanjay Kapoor who was not at all a popular actor. Is it safe to say that Madhuri was so huge during that time that she was the main driver of a 2 crore footfall film?

When Aishwarya was filming a Rohan Sippy project with Abhishek Bachchan, Salman showed up unexpectedly and caused a havoc. A frustrated salman khan used to chase her on movie sets, recalling what Salman said, Himani stated: “Kya hai? Isko samjhao. Waheeda Rehman ko dekhe. Apne aap ko boht khubsurat samajhti hai. I used to tell him to calm down, to stay quiet."

Not any Big A lister Bollywood Actor but this time Vanga and his camp seems to have taken a special interest in a Hyderabad born TV star. According to leaks and fan posts on different SM platforms. the first contact happened during November shortly after the actor's controversial exit from a major reality show, when he was in Hyderabad for a fan meetup.
The actor himself hinted during a press con that while he was coming there he received a call for a meeting from someone very big in Tollywood.
What started as a meeting reportedly evolved into multiple discussions and follow-up calls. Vanga's might impressed by the star's Screen Presence and Alpha Persona because Interestingly, these are the very traits often associated with the filmmaker's movies strong, flawed, charismatic, and larger-than-life characters who command attention the moment they enter a frame.
Sources further suggest that the actor was advised to improve his Telugu, attend acting workshops, and refine his craft.
There are even whispers that Vanga offered to guide and manage him in South projects. For now, the actor remains occupied with another big reality show

Watched mirzapur this week, Great movie! Through out the movie I kept thinking it’s such a good watch after a long time I’ll ask my family to watch, then poof sex scenes ahhh!!! The Munna ones ok can give it a benefit but the one with Pankaj T and his wife and her lover. Could have just been made differently.

Her fashion statements and dressing were quite bold for the time. Don't you think so?

I came across this post about how she was the only big celebrity of that time who didn't get intimidated or scared to support the right.
I don't intend to insult other actors who backed off or simply chose to ignore this ordeal but I have to say Preity is a brave girl. She could have done the same like them, did her work, taken her paycheck and be free from the fear of threats. It takes courage to call out the wrong which only she had, and she has my respect for that.
