Priyanka Chopra Texted Ibrahim Ali Khan After Nadaaniyan: 'She Said I Have A Bright Future'
Last Updated:
Ibrahim Ali Khan — son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh — has broken his silence on the criticism that followed his debut film.
A few months after Naadaniyan hit the screens, Ibrahim Ali Khan — son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh — has broken his silence on the criticism that followed his debut. Starring alongside Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, Ibrahim faced intense trolling online, with many questioning the performances of both star kids. In a recent interview with GQ India, Ibrahim spoke openly about the backlash and shared his thoughts on the pressure and public scrutiny that came with his first film.
On being asked if he received any advice after his debut film released, Ibrahim said, 'From two people. My dad said this is not the year 2000 when a star can just walk around in a movie and it can be a blockbuster. Today you must be very prepared, and be a quick learner. Most importantly, he said the script and the filmmaker are two things you cannot compromise on."
Ibrahim also opened up on a special text. He said, 'The second one was from -Priyanka Chopra. She sent me a very sweet -message saying she watched the film and thinks I have a bright future. She said I have to hold my head high and keep grinding; and that I must grow a thick skin. Coming from someone as accomplished as she is, I felt really comforted and motivated."
Earlier, in a chat with Filmfare, he had admitted that audiences may have entered the theatre expecting a grand, high-stakes launch vehicle, but that was never the intention behind Naadaniyan. 'People go into the film with very high expectations of what it should be. It was not to be some grand film. It was meant to be a sweet, breezy rom-com that you should enjoy on a Friday night, chilling in bed," he had said.
Ibrahim Ali Khan's next film is reportedly Diler, a sports drama where he will be paired with South Indian actress Sreeleela. The young star will also be seen in Sarzameen with Kajol, directed by Kayoze Irani.

Kamal Sridevi, a mysterious new venture unveiled
Actor and Producer, Rajavardan, who recently announced Jawa, his debut production venture under his home banner, Barn Swallow, is now following it up with his second project. And, what's grabbing attention this time is the bold and intriguing title — Kamal Sridevi. While an official announcement from the production house about the title and cast details is expected soon, Rajavardan confirms that VA Sunil Kumar, who previously directed Gajarama, is directing Kamal Sridevi. Noted South Indian actor Kishore plays a key role in the film, while the rest of the cast is being kept under wraps. Given that Kamal Haasan and Sridevi were one of Indian cinema's most iconic onscreen pairs, having worked together in over 20 films, the title naturally sparks curiosity. However, Rajavardan clarifies, 'Kamal Sridevi, as a title and subject, gives a whole new identity to the film. While people may instantly think of Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, this film has no direct reference to the actors or their films. It's a completely content-based subject,' says producer Rajavardan.

Mahesh Babu chose an olive green casual T-shirt with full sleeves, brown pants, and black formal shoes. Fans started commenting as soon as his outfit went viral. One fan wrote, "Ipudu ee tshirt cost entho mari (wonder how much this t-shirt costs)". Another fan pointed out, "Ambani functional lo thappithe every time MB ilane vasthadu ga. Causal wear ye mostly. (Except for Ambani wedding, Mahesh Babu has always dressed casually). A third fan wrote, "Antha bagunad entayya (How come he looks so good)" A fourth fan wrote, "Nijam cheppali ante mb daughter Sitara domination kanapadutundi andari kante. (To be honest, MB's daughter sitara is dominating the frame)." Some eagle-eyed fans also found out that it was a Hermes Men's puzzle floral cashmere sweater, which costs around ₹1,52,064. Akhil and Zainab reportedly dated before their engagement last year. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Telugu ceremony attended by stars like Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan, and Prashanth Neel. Several videos and pictures from the wedding surfaced online, showing the bride in an ivory saree and the groom in a white dhoti-kurta. Nagarjuna shared the wedding photos of his son on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, 'With immense joy, Amala and I are delighted to share that our dear son has married his beloved Zainab in a beautiful ceremony (3:35 am) at our home, where our hearts belong. We watched a dream come true surrounded by love, laughter, and those dearest to us. We seek your blessings as they begin this new journey together. With love and gratitude.'

Anurag Kashyap Asked Nawazuddin Siddiqui ‘Bewakuf Hai Kya Tu?' For Acting Like Al Pacino
Last Updated: Nawazuddin Siddiqui tried channeling Al Pacino for Gangs of Wasseypur until Anurag Kashyap advised him to be natural. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's iconic performance as Faisal Khan in Gangs of Wasseypur has stood the test of time, but few know the actor was initially influenced by Hollywood legends while stepping into the role. In a recent interview, he shared that on the first day of shooting, he had actually tried to act like Al Pacino—until director Anurag Kashyap stepped in and changed the course of his performance. In a chat with Filmfare, Nawazuddin Siddiqui recalled, 'I went on the first day acting like Al Pacino. I had thought about emulating him beforehand. Thoda bhoot chaaya hua tha. I used to have phases – Robert De Niro for three months, Al Pacino for three months, and Brando. He said, 'Bewakoof hai kya tu? Don't do that, you will become stiff and stuck at one place.'" He continued by sharing how Kashyap noticed something off about his performance and approached him after the day's shoot. 'I did the scenes Al Pacino style on the first day of shoot. Anurag came to my room at night and asked what am I upto. He said you are being very stiff, Al Pacino type. I told him that I wanted to show my power," he said. But it was Kashyap's grounded advice that really stuck with him. 'Anurag said that woh mera kaam hai, main tere peeche 6 foot ke log khade kardunga, apne aap powerful lagega (That's my work, I will put tall men behind you, you will look powerful). Don't do anything, be normal. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I felt that he was right." Taking the director's words to heart, Siddiqui approached the character with a more natural mindset the following day. 'The very next day, I went and forgot everything. Bhaad mein jaaye, main Nawaz hu, main jaisa dikhta hu vaisa hi jaakar karunga." The transformation clearly worked. Gangs of Wasseypur, directed by Anurag Kashyap, became both a box-office hit and a critical success. Nawazuddin's portrayal of Faisal Khan became one of the most memorable characters in Indian cinema. The ensemble cast included standout performances by Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, Richa Chadha, Pankaj Tripathi, and Jaideep Ahlawat, helping cement the film's cult status. First Published:
