Raj Shamani, the podcaster who interviewed Vijay Mallya, and many Bollywood celebrities, has made his podcasts one of the most popular in the country. Born in July 1997, he has a reported net-worth of Rs 91 crore.
At the age of 16, he sold products under his own brand, Jadugar Drop, contributing to his father's business, Shamani Industries.
He was one of the guests on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show along with Kamya Jaani, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Samdish. When Kapil Sharma asked Raj about interviewing Vijay Mallya, he smiled and said he was just walking on the streets in London, he approached him for an interview and he said.

As Kapil Sharma cheekily introduces them, 'Inn chaaro ne lagbhag har bade celebrity ka interview le liya hai, aur inn sabke wishlist mein ek common naam tha, toh socha ki chaaro ko ek saath mein hi bula loon!'
From political to celebrity banter and everything in between, these four are known for asking tough questions and serving harder truths. But on Kapil's turf? The vibe is different and definitely more dhamaakedaar.
And oh, the stories they tell. From on-ground interviews that veered into risky territory, to once-in-a-lifetime scoops, Saurabh and Samdish open up about what it really takes to chase a good story. Raj Shamani finally reveals how he convinced Vijay Mallya to sit down for his most coveted and longest interview to date. Meanwhile, Kamiya Jani breaks it to us gently, the true way to a celeb's heart isn't controversy, it's a great meal.
Just when things seem under control, the Kapil gang gets involved. Sona and Mona (Krushna and Kiku) decide it's time for some 'investigative comedy' as they launch a dramatic search for the guests' so-called trade secrets. And of course, Engineer Chumbak Mittal (Sunil Grover) brings in his vlogs, and his loyal fanbase (currently four people strong, maybe three), to convince the podcasters to join his ever-growing 'following.'

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's romantic saga continues to storm, beats Raid 2 lifetime, earns Rs...

Saiyaara madness is continuing to hold its presence at the theater halls. Helmed by Mohit Suri, the movie, which was released on July 18, has made the entire nation go gaga over the mushy romance. Featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara box office collection on day 8 stands at Rs 18 crore, as per early estimates given by industry tracker Sacnilk. Saiyaara Scripts History at the Box Office Saiyaara is one of those few films that earned in double digits despite starring debutants. Saiyaara's day 1 box office collection stood at Rs 21 crore. In the following days, the movie witnessed a huge increase in numbers, peaking on day 3 when Saiyaara collected Rs 35.75 crore — which also happened to be a Sunday. Mohit Suri's film maintained its magic by minting Rs 24 crore on its first Monday. It is often said that the first Monday for a film is extremely crucial as it decides the graph of the movie. Now, with Saiyaara's box office collection on day 8, the movie has grossed Rs 190 crore in India and will soon enter the Rs 200 crore club. Saiyaara Box Office Collection Worldwide While Mohit Suri's romantic saga is making waves in India, the worldwide collection is also noteworthy. According to a report by Hindustan Times, Saiyaara has grossed a little over $5 million (approximately Rs 43 crore) in overseas markets, pushing its worldwide total to Rs 256 crore. Saiyaara has now crossed the lifetime haul of Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, which stands at Rs 237 crore. The film is expected to hold steady during the second weekend and now aims to surpass the collections of Sitaara Zameen Par (Rs 264 crore) and Housefull 5 (Rs 289 crore).

'Won't run for even a day...': Made for Rs 10 crore, this film was initially tagged a flop due to..., yet made the makers rich, movie is..

It is still a mystery what exactly can make a movie a superhit or a super flop. Maybe it's the casting, a scene, a song, or even a dialogue. Something similar happened with the film we're going to discuss today. This movie, made for Rs 10 crore, did not perform well in its initial days. However, as days passed, the film garnered attention and eventually turned out to be a huge hit. It earned the title of a cult classic, and perhaps in the coming days, we might even witness a franchise based on the movie. Twenty-three years ago, one of Bollywood's ace directors helmed the movie and cast three of the finest actors in the industry — Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, and Boman Irani. Now, all these characters might ring a bell in your mind, and let us tell you, we are talking about none other than Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Was Initially a Flop Would you believe it if we told you that Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. was initially a flop? Yes, the film initially faced challenges, with reports of empty theaters on the first day. No Distributors Wanted to Buy Munna Bhai M.B.B.S Vidhu Vinod Chopra is counted among Bollywood's top producers. He has produced films like Pradeep Sarkar's Parineeta, Rajkumar Hirani's Munna Bhai franchise, 3 Idiots, and PK. But in a recent interview with Screen, he revealed that no distributor from South India wanted to buy Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Despite that, the movie made Vidhu rich. He recalled that the film opened to nearly empty theaters but became his most profitable venture, mainly because it wasn't sold outside Mumbai initially. Vidhu recalled a discussion with a South Indian distributor who purchased the movie for Rs 11 lakh. The distributor arrived to collect the film just four days before its release but expressed doubts after watching it. 'Sir, this film won't work even for a day. Nobody outside of Mumbai would understand the language of Munna Bhai,' Chopra recalled him saying. Adding further, the filmmaker revealed that he once offered to refund the Rs 5 lakh advance paid by another South Indian distributor. However, the distributor preferred to keep the money, expressing faith in Chopra and his belief that Chopra's next film might be a hit. Chopra explained, 'The bottom line is I had no distributor for South India. I had friends — Shyam Shroff and Bala Shroff — who had a company.' He shared that there was a cinema in Chennai where he secured only a single morning show at 11 a.m. He sold his print there for Rs 5 lakh, but the final business from that one centre crossed Rs 1 crore.

Made for Rs 55 crore, this film was Salman Khan's first to cross Rs 200 crore, yet it faced controversy due to..., name is...

Every time Salman Khan releases a movie, it creates a frenzy among fans. From long queues at the booking counters to social media being flooded with love, a lot happens whenever a Salman film hits the screens. However, did you know that Salman was once denied a UK visa? Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to know the reason. Why Was Salman Khan Denied a UK Visa? In 2014, Salman Khan's movie Kick was released. The spy-thriller became a huge hit and minted Rs 200 crore. But did you know that during the shoot of the film, a major chunk was supposed to be filmed in the UK? Half of the unit had already reached the UK. However, when it was Salman's turn, his visa was denied. According to reports, the visa was rejected because Britain's rules prohibit the entry of any person convicted of a crime in any court. Salman Khan was convicted in two pending hunting cases for killing a chinkara. Another interesting aspect of Salman Khan's blackbuck case is that Jagdeep Dhankhar, who recently resigned from the position of Vice President of India, helped Salman secure bail. For the unversed, Jagdeep Dhankhar was the counsel for Bollywood actor Salman Khan and the other accused in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Salman Khan's Film Still Became a Hit Despite this hurdle, Salman proved his mettle. Made on a budget of Rs 140 crore, Kick grossed Rs 372.50 crore worldwide at the box office. The movie was produced in collaboration with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and UTV Motion Pictures. The film earned Rs 26 crore on its first day, which was the second-biggest non-holiday opening at the time. The film earned Rs 82 crore in its first weekend and Rs 155 crore in its first week alone. It became Salman Khan's first film to enter the Rs 200 crore club and was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2014. Overseas, especially in the Gulf, US, Canada, UK, and Pakistan, the film performed exceptionally well.
