He noted the similarities in their careers and praised NTR for his dedication, calling him a 'one-take final-take star.' Hrithik mentioned that he has learned the importance of giving 100 percent to each shot from NTR, a lesson he intends to carry forward in his future projects. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pallav Paliwal (@pallav_paliwal) 'I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had very similar journeys for 25 years now, and I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. It is true when they say that he is a one-take final-take star. On set, Tarak, I have not just observed you, but I have learnt from you. I have learnt how to go into a shot 100% — not 99.99%, not 99.999, but 100%. Which is why when he comes out of a shot, there is no judgement on me. He will not even check the shot because he knows he has given everything to it. And I will apply that in my future films. Tarak, thank you for teaching me that," he said. About War 2 War 2's plot sets up an intense face-off between Hrithik Roshan's character, Major Kabir Dhaliwal, and Jr NTR's Vikram. Both are Indian spies but operate on vastly different interpretations of patriotism, leading to a clash that promises to be both physical and ideological. Kiara Advani steps in as Kavya Luthra, a character expected to play a pivotal role in the unfolding drama. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 serves as the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, which starred Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. The first film was a runaway hit, praised for its slick action and stylish storytelling. This sequel is also a part of the growing YRF Spy Universe, which connects characters and narratives from films like Pathaan and Tiger Zinda Hai. view comments First Published: August 10, 2025, 21:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Bhopal Doctor loses Rs 10 Lakh to scam promising entry into Salman Khan hosted Bigg Boss; FIR Registered
One of Indian television's most controversial shows, Bigg Boss, is set to return with a new season. While the makers are pulling out all the stops to make it a hit, the reality series is now grabbing headlines for entirely different reasons. A Bhopal-based dermatologist, Dr. Abhineet Gupta, was duped of Rs 10 lakh by fraudsters who promised him entry into the popular reality show Bigg Boss. He has lodged an FIR at the Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai, following an earlier complaint filed in Bhopal. During a recent press conference in Mumbai, the doctor revealed that back in 2022, a man named Karan Singh urged Abhineet to try for "Bigg Boss". He claimed to have a good identity with the makers. "He talked about giving one crore rupees, but I said that I do not have that much money. Then he went to Mumbai, and he made me talk to his colleagues on the phone. He talked about giving 60 lakh rupees and told me to pay in cash. He called me to Mumbai and arranged a meeting with Harish Shah, Senior Vice President of Endemol Company." Next, Karan asked Abhineet for money, and he transferred 10 lakh rupees to the accused. However, when the list of contestants of "Bigg Boss season 16" was announced, Abhineet's name was not in it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Real-Time Conversations in 68 Languages?

But after the season ended, Karan changed his statement, saying that he would make him participate in the next season. However, this time as well, nothing happened. "When season 17 also ended, I asked Karan Singh to return the 10 lakh rupees. But he kept making me run around. Finally, I went to the police to lodge a complaint, but there too it was delayed a lot, and after almost two years, the FIR was registered with great difficulty," Abhineet said. The police have registered a case against the accused under section 420 of the IPC for fraud. Abhineet stated that he wants everyone to be aware of people like Karan so that they do not end up getting scammed like him. With inputs from IANS.
