'I cried in my van...' Isha Koppikar reveals SHOCKING incident with choreographer, 'He insulted me in public...'
'I cried in my van...' Isha Koppikar reveals SHOCKING incident with choreographer, 'He insulted me in public...' Before garnering fame in the Hindi film industry with films like Don, Company and Salaam-e-Ishq , Isha Koppikar started her career in South cinema. The actress recently recounted a bruising experience she encountered at the start of her acting journey. Isha Koppikar recalls being humiliated by a South choreographer In a conversation with Digital Commentary, Isha recalled being publicly humiliated by a choreographer on the sets of her Telugu debut for lacking dance training. Sharing the painful incident, she shared, 'Yes, in one of the South films, I had just begun my career. This is before I entered Bollywood. When I was on set, there was a lot of dance. You know how South dances are — they are not easy. But in my first film, mere choreographer ne mujhe sabke saamne bola ki yeh Bollywood se ladkiyan aati hai, pata nahi kyun le lete hain inko. Kuch aata hi nahi inhe.' Clearly affected by the remarks at the time, Isha said, 'He humiliated me. I don't know if he was under some pressure. And he said dance nahi aata toh yahan kyun aayi ho? I felt very bad and humiliated. I went back to my make-up room and I cried. But I took it up as a challenge. And I said, the next time I come to the South, I'll come after learning how to dance — I won't let anyone talk like that again.' How 'Khallas' became a turning point in Isha Koppikar's career Determined to transform, she sought guidance from Saroj Khan's assistant Usha Ji. Her hard work paid off as she delivered a superhit dance number Khallas in Company (2002) , popularly becoming the 'Khallas Girl.' She thanked Khallas director Ram Gopal Varma and choreographer Ganesh Acharya for giving her the opportunity and said, 'Ramu came to me and said, 'I have made this set for you. You should feel that this is your father's set. I want such an attitude. So I said, 'Okay. If it is my father's, then I will bring the same attitude. And then Khallas happened and magic happened.' Meanwhile, Isha recently appeared in Ayalaan , a Tamil sci-fi film starring Sivakarthikeyan, Rakul Preet Singh, and others.

Balakrishna urges industry unity amid production cost concerns
Hyderabad: Nandamuri Balakrishna was recently spotted at Prasad Labs, busy dubbing for his much-awaited film 'Akhanda 2'. While the focus was on his upcoming film, the veteran actor also engaged in a significant interaction with several prominent Tollywood producers regarding the current challenges facing the industry. Producers Maitri Ravi, Chamber President Bharat Bhushan, Gopinath Achanta, and Damodar Prasad met Balakrishna to brief him on the existing concerns plaguing the Telugu film industry. They also conveyed the latest resolutions taken by the Active Producers Guild in response to the ongoing crisis. Prasanna Kumar, Secretary of the Producers Council, was also present during the discussion. Balakrishna, known for his straightforward views, expressed strong support for the producers and offered practical advice. 'Every hero should strive to do more films each year to keep the industry running smoothly. Personally, I do four films a year,' said Balakrishna, stressing the need for consistent content flow to sustain industry momentum. He also underlined the importance of cost-effective filmmaking. 'Producers must take conscious steps to avoid unnecessary increases in production costs. Only then can we strike a balance,' he added. Addressing concerns about worker unrest and union-related issues, Balakrishna said, 'The workers are an integral part of the film industry. I am confident that all existing issues will be resolved soon.' Balakrishna's proactive involvement and optimism have given the industry a morale boost, especially at a time when the Telugu film fraternity is navigating financial constraints and internal restructuring. With 'Akhanda 2' gaining momentum and Balakrishna advocating for solutions, the industry seems poised for a much-needed revival.
