Yes, we are talking about 2018: Everyone is a Hero. The film was so brilliant that India's special jury sent it for the 96th Oscar Award, bypassing many Bollywood films. After Aamir Khan's film Lagaan in 2002, this was the first Indian film to get entry in the Best Foreign Film category at the Oscars. This film set many records in terms of earnings and became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year 2023. Later, it was also dubbed in Hindi, and Hindi speakers also became crazy about it.
The shoot was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The plot of the terrible flood in Kerala has been woven interestingly in the film. The story of the film shows the wisdom and victory of man over a natural disaster like a flood. The film shows people who step out of their homes amid danger due to compulsion and in a struggle to save their loved ones. The film had brilliant actors like Tovino Thomas, Asif Ali, and Aparna Balamurali.
Apart from these, Kunchacko Boban, Vineet Srinivasan, Narayan, and Lal also played important roles in the film. It took Joseph a long time to complete the film because the coronavirus spread during the shooting, and due to this, the shooting was halted for a long time.

Sanjay Dutt confirms 62-year-old woman left her entire Rs 72 crore property to him; reveals what he did with it
Fans often go to great lengths to express their love for their favourite stars. Recently, an old story about a female fan of Sanjay Dutt leaving her Rs 72 crore worth property to the actor after her passing in 2018 went viral. While many believed it to be fake news, Sanjay recently confirmed the story in an interaction. However, it's what he did with the property that is truly heartfelt and reflects the actor's real personality. In an interaction with Curly Tales, Sanjay was asked if it was true that a female fan had left him property worth Rs 72 crore. The Khal Nayak star admitted it was true and said, 'It is true.' When asked what he did with the property, he said, 'I gave it back to the family.' In 2018, Nisha Patil, a devoted fan of Sanjay Dutt, made headlines for leaving her entire property — worth a massive Rs 72 crore — to the actor. Nisha was a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai. She was reportedly suffering from a terminal illness and had informed her bank before her death to hand over all her assets to Sanjay Dutt after her passing. Like Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan too had once shared an incident involving a fan. In an earlier interaction, Shah Rukh recalled a story of a fan who breached the security of his residence, Mannat, and entered just to swim in his pool. He said, 'One night, a person entered the house, he took off his clothes, jumped into my swimming pool and swam. When the security guard caught him asking who he was, he said, 'I don't want anything. I just wanted to bath in Shah Rukh Khan's swimming pool.' I found that very endearing and amusing. When I was called down, I met and hugged him. He did not want any photo or autograph.' Coming back to Sanjay Dutt, the actor made his debut in 1981 with Rocky. Over the years, he has delivered several cult classics including Vidhaata, Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and more. However, his career was also marred by controversy when he was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for possessing illegal weapons linked to the 1993 Bombay blasts. He was convicted under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collections: Pawan Kalyan starrer declared dead on Friday, moved a finger on Sunday
Hari Hara Veera Mallu pulled off a mild surprise over the weekend, as the film managed to pick up some collections in Andhra Pradesh. The Pawan Kalyan starrer grossed approximately Rs. 83.50 crore in India over its four-day opening weekend. Overseas, the film added another USD 1.60 million (Rs. 13.50 crore), pushing its worldwide total to Rs. 97 crore. After crashing nearly 80 per cent on Friday, the expectation was for Hari Hara Veera Mallu to continue free-falling. However, the film showed signs of stability on Saturday and then pulled off a surprising 60 per cent growth on Sunday in Andhra Pradesh. Even Telangana and Karnataka contributed decently, when they too could have completely collapsed. Of course, the weekend pickings don't change anything; the film was left for dead on Friday, but it managed to claw back some ground. It will now go over Rs. 100 crore worldwide in a day or two, which seemed far-fetched two days ago. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Hari Hara Veera Mallu in India are as follows: Hari Hara Veera Mallu is yet another box office turkey delivered by Pawan Kalyan, who is arguably the biggest star in the Telugu states but hasn't delivered a box office winner in more than a decade. There was a Bheemla Nayak, which did decently well, but was unlucky to release in the circumstances it did and ended up from being a success. The film is also a setback for the Telugu film industry, which is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. The last year was also a bad one in general, but there were four major hits spread across the year. This year has offered nothing. The Territorial Breakdown for Hari Hara Veera Mallu is as follows:

Ahaan Panday's Private Instagram Account Revealed, Is Followed By Ananya Panday, Aneet Padda
Fans are convinced that the account belongs to Ahaan due to the star-studded follower list. Ahaan Panday has become quite the sensation since his Bollywood debut in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara. Amid the hype surrounding Ahaan Panday, fans have discovered his private Instagram account. The username of the alleged private account is @ and it has the image of a dog playing a guitar as its display picture. While Ahaan hasn't confirmed that the account belongs to him, fans are convinced that it is indeed the actor's private account, as it is followed by Ananya Panday, Aneet Padda, Khushi Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, Alaya F, Aisha Ahmed and Prit Kamani, to name a few. Have a look here: It is not uncommon for Bollywood celebrities to have private accounts. Previously, Khushi Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor have also admitted that they have a 'finsta' for their close friends and family. Several celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, have mentioned that even Ranbir Kapoor uses a private account to keep a tab on social media. As for Ahaan's alleged finsta, at the time of publishing, the account has 508 followers and 206 posts. The account follows 1603 other accounts. Meanwhile, Saiyaara is proving to be a box office beast, and it's doing what most romantic dramas rarely manage — pulling massive crowds and raking in serious money. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has crossed the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide in just nine days, making it one of the biggest box office stories of 2025. According to early estimates as quoted by trade tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned around Rs 30 crore (India net) on its tenth day, that is Sunday. With strong word of mouth and no real competition at the moment, the film's theatrical run is expected to continue at full throttle into the coming week. At this pace, Saiyaara could soon surpass the lifetime collection of Kabir Singh (Rs 377 crore) — which would make it the highest-grossing Indian romantic film of all time (non-inflation-adjusted). All eyes are now on how it performs in its second full week. First Published: July 28, 2025, 11:07 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
