Sanya Malhotra on Jawan

As part of a candid chat with the entertainment news portal, Sanya Malhotra expressed her feelings of being lucky to be a part of the film which has Shah Rukh Khan and Lady Superstar Nayanthara in lead roles. Not just this, the Dangal star also expressed exuberance at being finally offered the opportunity to be cast alongside King Khan.

The actress said, “I feel fortunate to be a part of it and I have been so excited to tell this to people now. I was promoting Kathal and that’s when I first posted anything about being a part of it. So some of my friends had no idea that I was a part of Jawan or in a film with Shah Rukh sir. I got so many reactions, calls and messages from my friends saying ‘Hume kyun nahi bataya’ because who’s not a Shah Rukh Khan fan? The film is massive and I feel so fortunate and blessed to be a part of it.”

Vivek Agnihotri responds to Naseeruddin Shah

Agnihotri, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie The Vaccine War, has slammed Naseeruddin Shah after the actor said ‘it’s disturbing’ that films like The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story, Gadar 2 are so popular.

The filmmaker, who worked with Shah in The Tashkent Files, said that the veteran actor perhaps feels ‘exposed’ with the truth of The Kashmir Files, and ‘likes to support terrorists’ but he does not.

“The client had signed Amitabh and Shah Rukh for different parts of the portfolio, and they have many products. They wanted an idea, and I said the best is to get both of them together! I spoke to Amit ji and Shah Rukh and we discussed the scripts over the phone. On set, they were behaving like kids! Pulling each other’s legs, having a ball. One full day we had a blast! We shot five ads for 12 hours, from 2 in the noon till night!” said Balki in an interview with Indianexpress.com.

Nana Patekar on not acting in Welcome 3

Speaking at an event, a seemingly disappointed Nana Patekar said, “I am not a part of it, maybe I have become outdated and that’s why they didn’t cast me for Welcome 3. Maybe, the makers of The Vaccine War don’t feel the same about me and that’s why they have roped me in. It’s that simple.”
