Shanoo did not give out many details about Ranveer's exit but mentioned that there was 'no bad blood' between Ranveer and YRF as such. In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Shanoo was asked if Ranveer's departure from the company hurt her, and she said, 'I don't think it hurt. It didn't hurt, not at all.' She then continued, 'He is going ahead with his life. I wish him all the best. There's a reason why he must be going. There's a reason why the production house is okay with him going.'
She then added, 'I feel things work, and then they fade, and then they start to work again so it's just that. I don't think there is any bad blood as such but he needed to move and for me, he is my best friend as well so there's nothing difficult on that front.'

Mukesh Khanna says Ranveer Singh can play Tamraj Kilvish: 'Many people tell me, yeh nashedi ko Shaktimaan mat banana'
Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna ruled the small screen in the 1990s with his iconic superhero role in Shaktimaan. So, when it was announced that the cult show would get a big-screen adaptation, fans were naturally excited. However, the film's casting is still under discussion, and reports suggest that the studio is keen on having Ranveer Singh as the lead. But Khanna has been vocal about not seeing Ranveer as the right choice. 'He can play the villain, not Shaktimaan' In a recent interview with Filmygyan, Mukesh Khanna addressed a fan who suggested that he should let Ranveer Singh take on the superhero's mantle. The veteran actor admitted to liking Ranveer's energy and talent but clarified that he doesn't see him as Shaktimaan. 'You can't change my mind. You like Ranveer Singh, and I like him too. We've sat and talked for three hours, and he's a very energetic actor. But I have openly said to his face, you can play Tamraj Kilvish (the story's villain). His face has a mischievous positivity. This actor — if you tell him to play Shaktimaan, you might enjoy it because he makes you dance, but you need someone mature enough to play Shaktimaan,' Khanna said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

He said, 'Maine kaha dekho, mereko Shaktimaan ke liye actor nahi chahiye, face bhi chahiye. Kahin na kahin real-life mein agar aapki image galat hai, toh woh beech mein aati hai. Kayi log mujhe Ranveer Singh ke liye bolte hai ki arrey sahab yeh nashedi ko Shaktimaan mat banana, humare bachpan ki yaadien khatam ho jaayengi' (I said, look, I don't just need an actor for Shaktimaan, I also need the right face. In some way, if your real-life image is negative, it comes in the way. Many people tell me about Ranveer Singh, 'Sir, don't make this addict Shaktimaan, our childhood memories will be ruined)." Shaktimaan aired on Doordarshan from 1997 to 2005, with Mukesh Khanna playing the dual role of Shaktimaan and his alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, a bumbling photojournalist. The show became a cultural phenomenon, and its upcoming cinematic adaptation is among the most anticipated projects in Bollywood.

Mukesh Khanna opposes Ranveer Singh's casting as Shaktimaan once again: ‘Real-life mein agar aapki image galat hai…'
From 1997 to 2005, actor Mukesh Khanna entertained and educated the youth as India's favourite superhero Shaktimaan. Watching him defeat villains in style is one of the fondest memories that the generation has, even after all these years. So when it was announced that the beloved TV series and superhero are getting a movie, fans were obviously ecstatic. Rumours suggested that Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh might headline the project as the new Shaktimaan. However, Mukesh is far from ready to hand the baton over to Ranveer, and the veteran actor has expressed the same in several interviews. In his latest interaction, Mukesh revealed the reason behind his decision. Mukesh Khanna as Shaktimaan and fan-art of Ranveer Singh as Shaktimaan During a chat with Filmygyan, when a fan urged Mukesh Khanna to accept Ranveer Singh as the new Shaktimaan, the veteran actor refused. He stated, 'You like Ranveer Singh, and I like him too. We've sat and talked for three hours, and he's a very energetic actor. But I have openly said to his face: you can play Tamraj Kilvish. His face has a mischievous positivity. If you make him Shaktimaan, people may enjoy it because he makes you dance, but the role needs someone mature enough.' Mukesh further claimed that he has been warned by other fans to not let Ranveer be the next Shaktimaan. The OG Shaktimaan explained, 'Mujhe Shaktimaan ke liye actor nahi chahiye, face bhi chahiye. Kahin na kahin real-life mein agar aapki image galat hai, toh woh beech mein aati hai. Kayi log mujhe Ranveer Singh ke liye bolte hai ki 'Arrey sahab, yeh nashedi ko Shaktimaan mat banana, humare bachpan ki yaadien khatam ho jaayengi.'' While there is still no official confirmation about Ranveer becoming the next Shaktimaan, the actor does have another exciting project in his line up.

Malaika Arora Hints At Second Marriage; Udaipur Files Producer Blasts Hindu Audience For Film's Failure
Last Updated: Malaika Arora spoke about her marriage plans after divorcing Arbaaz Khan. Udaipur Files producer Amit Jani slammed Hindu audiences after the film's box office failure. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan got married in 1998. Arora was about 25 years old at that time. Four years into their marriage, they welcomed their son Arhaan Khan in 2002. After being married for 18 years, the couple announced their separation in 2016 and finalised their divorce in 2017. While Arbaaz Khan is now remarried to Sshura Khan, is a second marriage on the cards for Malaika as well? In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Malaika mentioned that she is not closed off to the idea of another marriage. Udaipur Files, starring Vijay Raaz, released in theatres on August 8, 2025, but the film has failed to make an impression at the box office. According to trade portal Sacnilk, the movie has managed to collect only ₹1.54 crore so far, and is being labelled a flop.

While much is known about his marriage and separation from Dimple Kapadia in the late 90s, not much is known about his relationship with actress Anita Advani. Anita Advani claims that she married Rajesh Khanna in a secret ceremony and lived with him till his death in 2012. However, since Rajesh and Dimple were only separated and not divorced, the second marriage couldn't have been legal. On India's 79th Independence Day, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to extend his wishes. He shared a message, reminding his followers that freedom was earned through immense sacrifices by numerous freedom fighters, not simply given. A troll reacted to Javed Akhtar's message with a disgraceful comment suggesting he should celebrate Independence Day on August 14 instead. For those unaware, India celebrates its Independence Day on August 15, while Pakistan's is on August 14. Javed Akhtar shut down the troll with a powerful reminder that his ancestors laid down their lives fighting for India's freedom. A proud father, Amitabh Bachchan has showcased his pride in his son Abhishek Bachchan, who was feted with the Best Actor for 'I Want To Talk" at THE Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025, and said that he is the honour of their family.
