I had never thought I would do a horror film, but here we are. I am extremely proud of this film. The script is quite good. I am a big mythological buff. I love our Indian mythology. We have so many stories.
So, I think it was one of my favourite stories.

'Thank you for giving me the courage': Karan Johar remembers Yash Johar with emotional Fathers Day tribute
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 15 (ANI): On Father's Day, filmmaker Karan Johar posted a deeply emotional social media post honouring the memory of his late father, Yash Johar. Accompanying a nostalgic black-and-white photograph of the two, which seems to have been taken on a film set, Karan shared a heartfelt message reflecting on the values and legacy passed down to him by his father. "He made films with soul and for the soul... and he lived life with even more," Karan wrote, adding, "He taught me that good storytelling begins with you... and your good heart. Thank you for giving me the courage to feel deeply. Thank you for giving me the courage to show these feelings on the biggest screens possible. Happy Father's Day papa, thank you... for you." Choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan responded with a simple but powerful "Love him," while Maheep Kapoor expressed her affection through heart emojis, reflecting the widespread admiration Yash Johar continues to command within the film fraternity. Yash Johar, the founder of Dharma Productions, passed away in June 2004 after battling cancer, but his influence endures through Karan Johar's celebrated body of work, which includes iconic films such as 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', 'My Name Is Khan', and, more recently, 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan responded with "Love him," while Maheep Kapoor expressed her affection through heart emojis. In another post, Karan celebrated himself as being the father of his twins, Roohi and Yash. He shared a picture on Instagram posing with them and wrote, "Today I celebrate myself ... for completing my own half existence with the presence of my blessings Roohi and Yash... they filled a deep void and created some more space for love in my aura and heart..." Karan Johar became a father to Yash and Roohi in February 2017 via surrogacy. He named his son Yash after his late father, a renowned filmmaker, and chose the name Roohi as an anagram of his mother's name, Hiroo. (ANI)

With nostalgia in his voice and reverence in his tone, he recalled an incident involving towering figures of Hindi cinema, someone whose name commands unmatched respect. A slight hint for you all, he's the one who had one of the most ways of delivering dialogues on the big screen. The Legendary Actor Of Indian Cinema Here we are talking about legendary actor, late Raaj Kumar, whose aura and unique style are still unmatched.

Kim Cattrall reveals why she initially turned down Sex and the City role
Washington [US], June 15 (ANI): Kim Cattrall, the actress behind the iconic character Samantha Jones in HBO's 'Sex and the City,' recently opened up about her initial hesitation to take on the role. As per Deadline, in a candid conversation, Cattrall shared that she turned down the part not once, not twice, but four times before finally agreeing to join the show. Her reason? "Self-inflicted ageism," stemming from her concerns about playing a sexually confident character at the age of 41. Cattrall explained that her mindset shifted over time, and she eventually came to realise that 40 could indeed be "alluring". "Well, that changed. 40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that,'" she said, reflecting on her decision to join the show, as quoted by Deadline. Cattrall's portrayal of Samantha Jones, a character known for her unapologetic attitude toward sex and relationships, became a defining role in her career. Cattrall described Samantha as a woman who enjoyed life on her own terms, and said, "She wasn't a nymphomaniac, well, some people might have thought she was, but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetisers when she was going for the steak. And it was always on her terms, that I always insisted on." Despite the character's bold personality, Cattrall noted that she is the antithesis of Samantha in many ways, identifying herself as a "serial monogamist." Cattrall expressed her gratitude for having played Samantha Jones, and said, "I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it. And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really OK." The show, which aired from 1998 to 2004, has had a lasting impact on popular culture, inspiring numerous spin-offs, including 'The Carrie Diaries' and 'And Just Like That...,' the latter of which premiered on HBO Max in 2021. Although Cattrall chose not to reunite with her co-stars in 'And Just Like That...,' she did make a special appearance in the season 2 finale, reprising her role as Samantha Jones. (ANI)
