Abhijeet Bhattacharya on not-so-good a time working with AR Rahman

Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who often shares his controversial thoughts, has yet again caught attention when he talked about his displeasure in working with legendary music composer AR Rahman. In a recent interview, Bhattacharya talked about Rahman's odd work hours and how he makes people wait for hours. He expressed his frustration over Rahman's work style and his tendency to be late during recording sessions.   Abhijeet Bhattacharya has a not-so-good time working with AR Rahman Abhijeet, who has worked with Rahman on the song “Ae Nazneen Suno Na”, stated, “During that time, I was getting calls from all the major composers. Anu Malik would be on the line, and then Anand-Milind would call, and then Jatin-Lalit would call. I was busy dubbing all the time. I went (to meet Rahman) and was left waiting at the hotel.”   He continued, “I decided that I can’t keep waiting and that we could record in the morning. At 2 am, I get a call summoning me to the studio. Am I crazy? I said that I was asleep. I went in the morning, but he was not there. They don’t have the habit of working at regular hours. I’m used to working in a systematic manner. Now, in the name of creativity, if you say that you will record at 3:33 am, I don’t get it.”   He further stated, “Because of the air-conditioning in my room, I had a cold. But he insisted that I sing. I’ve done a lot of hit songs for super-flop movies, and this was one of them. Nobody watched the film. The song belongs to Rahman.” He added, “I kept asking for Rahman but didn’t get a firm answer. An artiste doesn’t become big or small by doing these things… I was told that I should have waited for him and left later. But I told them that I had prior commitments.”   Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s credit controversy with the Dua Lipa concert Abhijeet often finds himself amidst controversies, and recently he was furious about the credit issue during the recent Dua Lipa concert when the IDGAF singer sang a mashup of “Levitating x Woh Ladki Jo”. Fans in the crowd could not contain their happiness during this moment, but Bhattacharya feels that the song is being associated with Shah Rukh Khan only, as if he voiced the song. The singer feels that his due credit has been snatched from him and only the actor is being given the credit. Bhattacharya’s son, Jay, also spoke about this issue as he took to Instagram stories to express his rage and frustration.

Sunita Ahuja REACTS to Govinda once rejecting Chunnilal’s part in Devdas

Devdas is Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shah Rukh Khan's most loved film throughout, and not just Shah Rukh Khan, but the movie also gave Jackie Shroff one of his best performances with the role of Chunnilal. Is it even possible to imagine anyone else in the role of Chunnilal other than Jackie Shroff? But what if we tell you he wasn't the first choice for the role? Yes, rather it was Govinda who was once offered the role of Chunnilal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, but he rejected the role. Now his wife, Sunita Ahuja, has reacted to him being offered the part and claimed that Govinda is too big of a star to be offered a second lead in any film. Govinda’s wife reacts to him rejecting Chunnilal’s role in Devdas Sunita elaborated on her husband’s decision, and in an interview with Hindi Rush, Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, said, “Why would he play Chunnilal? He was a very big star. Why would he play a second lead? It’s his choice. You can’t offer Chunnilal’s role to Govinda. He didn’t do it; it’s his choice. I am glad he didn’t do it. Why would he accept such a role being a top star? He was a top star during the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s. Why would you offer a role like that to him? He handled it very well; I wouldn’t have been as kind." Jackie Shroff eventually bagged the role. Devdas was an adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's iconic 1917 novel of the same name. Sunita on Govinda not getting work Further, while talking about him not getting any more work in films, Sunita said that he would not bow down to anyone and stated, “He is an individual, he is a village boy, he wouldn’t join any of those groups. He makes his own group and mingles with them. Woh nahi jaayega kisiki gulaami karne (He won’t bow down to anyone), he is in his own world, hero number 1 in his head." Govinda recently made an appearance on Kapil Sharma's The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix India, and during his appearance on the show, he announced that he will be seen in three comedy dramas: Baaye Haath Ka Khel, Pinky Darling, and Len Den: It's All About Business. Earlier, Govinda caught headlines when he misfired through his own bullet and injured his leg. During Kapil’s show, Govinda also met Krushna Abhishek, and they ended their 7-year-long feud.

Hearing this Diljit teared up on stage, at one moment he seemed inconsolable as he became too overwhelmed hearing such heartwarming words from his director. On Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist, Imtiaz Ali revealed how he had signed Diljit Dosanjh for the titular role even before he became a global sensation. Imtiaz said, “When we started out, Diljit was not a big star. He had not done Coachella when we signed with him. It kind of happened simultaneously. At the end of the film, which is always what it is, an actor, whatever his so-called market value is, can be different by the time your film releases. So you also have to factor that. He became a very big star.” About Amar Singh Chamkila Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, Amar Singh Chamkila presents the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar of the masses, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many along the way, which finally led to his assassination at the young age of 27.

Vidya Balan's team REACTS to PR activity claims for Rohit Sharma

Vidya Balan faced heavy trolling after she accidentally posted a screenshot of a WhatsApp text that contained the message on Instagram in which she had extended her support to Rohit Sharma. The accidental post led everyone to think it was a PR-driven activity and resulted in incessant trolling. Now, amid heavy trolling against Balan, her team has put out a long clarification message stating that Rohit Sharma's PR team hasn't asked Vidya for any message and her post for Rohit was just out of admiration. Vidya Balan’s team put out clarifications In the official statement by Vidya's team, they shared, "To whoever it concerns, there has been some speculation regarding a tweet Ms. Vidya Balan put out yesterday expressing her admiration for the grace Rohit Sharma exhibited by stepping back as a player and captain from the last test match." The note further reads, "Let it be unequivocally stated that Ms. Balan posted this completely of her own volition because she was moved by his selfless act, and NOT by request from his PR team. Ms. Balan is not an avid sports fan, but she is a fan of those who show dignity and class under trying circumstances. To attribute her actions to anything other than a spontaneous reaction to something she found admirable is completely preposterous. Thank you."

AR Rahman

DYK? AR Rahman's mom kept his awards wrapped in a towel for THIS reason

While a few use their Oscar statuettes as doorstoppers, AR Rahman can't do that even if he wishes to because his mother wouldn't allow him. Rahman, in one of his interviews, opened up and shared how his mother used to keep his awards wrapped in a towel because she thought those awards were made of real gold. It was only after Kareema Begum passed away that Rahman went to her room and took them out. He also shared that currently, those awards are in a showcase at the Firdaus studio. AR Rahman's mom kept his awards wrapped in a towel In an interview with Film Companion, the legendary music composer revealed that his mother stored all his international awards and said, “I have kept the international awards in Dubai because it was wrapped in a towel… my mom wrapped it in a towel. She thought it was gold. So after she passed away, I went to her room, took them out, and I gave it to the Dubai Firdaus studio. It’s in the Firdaus studio in a nice showcase." He won two Oscars, two Grammys, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe for Danny Boyle's 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire. Rahman has six National Awards along with his international honors. The composer keeps his Indian awards in a special room in his hometown. While talking about it, he shared, "Some of them haven’t come to me. I think some of the directors have kept them like a souvenir." AR Rahman on struggling days While talking about how his mother became his strength during his struggling days, Rahman revealed in a chat with Netflix India, “When I built my studio, I didn’t have money to buy an amplifier or equalizer. There was just an AC with a shelf and carpet. I used to be sitting there not having money to buy anything. I built this and was sitting inside with no equipment. My first recorder came after my mom gave her jewels to be pledged. That is when I felt empowered. I could see my future, that one moment changed everything." Kareema Begum died in 2020. More about AR Rahman AR Rahman was recently in the news when he announced his separation from his wife, Saira Banu.

Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship. Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time.”

Anupam Kher was the villain. And there was a pigeon with Anil chachu (uncle) in the film, whose name was Django, and it was my favourite character at the time,” Arjun said." During the film's shoot, Sridevi had already started dating Boney Kapoor while he was still married to Mona Kapoor. Boney divorced Mona in 1996 and married Sridevi in the same year when Arjun was 10 years old, while his younger sister Anshula Kapoor was just five.
