Mumbai, Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar on Tuesday said though he does not know much about what went into the AI-altered re-release of "Raanjhanaa", his loyalty will always be with the creator of the film. I will always stand with the creator of the film: Farhan Akhtar on 'Raanjhanaa' row Both director Anand L Rai and Dhanush, who made his Hindi cinema debut with the 2013 movie, have spoken out against production banner Eros International's decision to create an alternate "happy ending" for the movie through the help of artificial intelligence. Akhtar was asked about the controversy during the teaser launch of his upcoming film "120 Bahadur". "I will always stand with the creator of the film and the creator of the film was unhappy about his or her work being changed, I will always support the creator. So that's where my loyalty lies. The rest of the fine print of what happened there, I have no , but that's all I can say," Akhtar told reporters here. Excel entertainment's Ritesh Sidhwani echoed Akhtar's thoughts. "I absolutely agree to the fact that you can't do it without the consent ," Sidhwani said. He also added that AI should be used smartly to the film's advantage.

India's first Jubilee Girl, her film ran in theatres for 76 weeks, broke record of another blockbuster, movie name is..., she was...
Long before the glitz of modern cinema and the mega-stars we know today, there was a quiet era when stories ruled the silver screen and performances spoke louder than fame. In this golden age of Indian cinema, one actress left a mark so deep that her record remained untouched for nearly eight decades. Her films weren't just popular — they were milestones. Audiences lined up for weeks, theaters stayed houseful, and her name became synonymous with success. Yet, with all her achievements, her story slowly faded from memory. Who was this star? This trailblazing actress was Late Mumtaz Shanti, the original Jubilee Girl of Indian cinema. Born in Lahore in 1926, she entered the film industry in the late 1930s and rose to fame during the 1940s, time when Indian cinema was still finding its identity. She starred in many successful films and became a household name with her charm, elegance, and emotional depth on screen. How did Mumtaz Shanti earn the title of Jubilee Girl? Mumtaz Shanti worked alongside some of the biggest legends of the time, including Late Ashok Kumar, Late Motilal, and Late Dilip Kumar. Her 1943 film 'Kismet' opposite Ashok Kumar was a turning point not just for her but for Hindi cinema itself. The film ran continuously for 76 weeks at a single cinema in Kolkata, record that was unbroken until 'Sholay' came along in 1975. This massive success earned her the title of Jubilee Girl, marking her as the first female star in India whose films guaranteed long-running box office triumphs. Her other notable films include Chitralekha, Poonji, and Aurat, where she consistently delivered emotionally resonant performances. Mumtaz Shanti's on-screen presence was subtle yet powerful, and she had a unique ability to connect with audiences without the loud glamour that often defined stardom later on. Why did Mumtaz Shanti leave the Film Industry? Despite her enormous popularity, she chose to step away from the spotlight. After marrying renowned film director Wali Sahab, Mumtaz Shanti gradually withdrew from the film industry. She moved to Pakistan after the Partition, where she lived a quiet life away from fame and cameras. She never returned to films and over time, her name faded from the public eye, remembered by only the most devoted fans of classic Indian cinema. Mumtaz Shanti passed away in 1994, her record-setting film runs and timeless performances serve as reminder of era when storytelling reigned and simplicity shone the brightest.
