Here are the top 5 headlines of June 10, 2025 1. Karan Johar on feud with Kartik Aaryan Karan Johar recently opened up on fallout with Kartik Aaryan. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, KJo shared, 'We internally discussed and worked it out, and we let bygones be bygones.' He further added, 'He and I met, decided to come together. It was all lovely and he's had I've had we all had our issues with each other, but it's a tiny industry, which I call a family, and I believe within a family, kabhi kabhi gile sikwe ho jate hain.' 2. Sitaare Zameen Par to release in 1250 screens? Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is all set to hit the theaters on June 20. A source close to the development told exclusively to Pinkvilla, 'The makers were exploring several release ideas, and the plan at the moment is to bring the film on approx. 1250 screens. Aamir Khan is confident of the film, and is well aware about the change in audience dynamics, which is the reason why he is looking at a longer game than a shorter one.' 3. Karan Johar says Ranbir Kapoor has best PR game In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Karan Johar was asked who he thinks has the best PR team. The filmmaker replied, 'I think everyone kind of understands it well. But can I say who I think is the best star who has managed to stay away from social media, from the arc light and still emerged as a massive superstar — Ranbir Kapoor.

Not Deepika Padukone Or Alia Bhatt, THIS Actor has The Best PR According To Karan Johar
Last Updated: Karan Johar says Ranbir Kapoor has the best PR in Bollywood — despite having no team or social media. In the high-stakes world of Bollywood, where perception shapes careers, public relations (PR) is a powerful tool for staying relevant. Stars often lean on strategic PR campaigns to craft their image, manage controversies, and keep fans engaged. Newcomers and industry scions alike face scrutiny for using calculated PR moves to hog the limelight, sometimes even overshadowing peers. Take Veer Pahariya's recent Bollywood debut, where his viral dance move sparked buzz—many wondered if it was fueled by a cleverly orchestrated PR plan, whether for praise or critique. So, who rules the PR game in Bollywood? Filmmaker Karan Johar, in a recent discussion with Bollywood Hungama, dropped a surprising name, spotlighting an actor who dominates without a traditional PR playbook. 'I think everyone kind of understands it well. But can I say who I think is the best star who has managed to stay away from social media, from the arc light and still emerged as a massive superstar — Ranbir Kapoor. He doesn't have a PR team, he therefore has the best PR team," said Karan. While stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Salman Khan dominate social media with millions of followers, Ranbir Kapoor steers clear of public platforms entirely. Though he once admitted to lurking on Instagram through a secret account, he maintains no official presence on the photo-sharing app as of now. On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor is currently shooting for Love And War with Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt. He also has Ramayana with Sai Pallavi in his kitty. It will be releasing in two parts. In the meantime, Karan is focused on directing an action film next, following the success of his 2023 romantic comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. As a producer, his slate includes Dhadak 2, Naagzilla, and Tu Meri Main Tera. But for fans of epic sagas, Takht may still reign someday—just not yet. First Published:
