Kartik Aaryan's untitled film delayed due to Saiyaara's massive success? Anurag Basu reacts
Is Kartik Aaryan-Sreeleela's film delayed?
Anurag Basu, while talking to India Today, did not confirm the reports about the film's delay. But he indirectly hinted at it by giving several reasons for it. Earlier, it was claimed that certain themes and elements in the Kartik Aaryan starrer were similar to those of Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara. Both stories centered on rising music stars and their romantic relationships.
As the audience is gushing over the recently released Mohit Suri directorial, reports suggested that Basu and his team wanted to avoid any direct comparison with the already released movie. Because of this, some portions had to be rewritten; hence, they decided to push the release date. But the Jagga Jasoos director revealed the real reason behind the delay.
Anurag Basu claimed that Kartik Aaryan was busy with Karan Johar's Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, while he was occupied with the release of Metro In Dinon. "We'll soon move on to our next schedule and aim to wrap the film soon," he added.
Is there similarity in Saiyaara's storyline with Kartik Aaryan's film?
Anurag also revealed that he has been aware of Mohit Suri's script for a long time, and the story was no surprise to him. "Given that both films feature performers as central characters, we knew comparisons would be drawn. But the two films are completely different from each other," he concluded.
Just a couple of days ago, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that the makers of Son of Sardaar 2 also have decided to push their release date by a week. The reason was purely business-based, to ensure that both films flourish and rule the box office.

Not Rupali Ganguly or Dilip Joshi, Smriti Irani is TV's highest-paid actor with Rs 14 lakh per episode for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
Smriti Irani is back to acting with the second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The actress was reported to be charging a hefty payment of Rs 14 lakh per episode, becoming the highest-paid TV actor in India. Reacting to the reports, Smriti Irani herself has confirmed such remuneration. Smriti Irani confirms becoming highest paid actor on small screen In a latest chat with CNN News18, Smriti Irani admitted that she is getting the record-breaking-paycheck while highlighting how she earned it with a lot of hard work and delivering on TRP numbers. The actress said, 'You also set that benchmark as a professional to say that if you deliver on history on numbers and revenue, why not? Because not everybody who's watching us knows we get to negotiate our contracts as employees.' Smriti Irani proudly said that not only pay-parity, she has beaten the boys and girls. 'I'm a part of a union, so the first thing I do is actually have my union number registered. We all are part of a larger organisation and flow of work. For one person to stand up and say "listen, not only pay parity, I beat the boys and the girls and how much I make that is a lot of hard work," she added. Smriti Irani, who is playing the lead role of Tulsi Virani in Kyonki, further underlined that she is capable of making stars out of others who are working with her. She said, 'The idea is, are you truly the star or do you have the professional capacity to make stars around you? I think that I have actually, mercifully, had the capacity of making stars out of others who are with me. If there is a Tulsi, then Amar Upadhyay quintessentially creates his own market. So do you become that pivot, that sounding board, that other actors then can enhance their economic value? That I have managed to do through the project, so my co-stars today can say, 'Oh, we are a part of that.'' Smriti Irani beats contemporaries Rupaly Ganguly, Dilip Joshi and Hina Khan For the unversed, Smriti Irani has surpassed Rupali Ganguly, Dilip Joshi, and Hina Khan's remunerations to emerge as the highest paid actor on the small screen. While Ganguly charges around Rs 3 lakh per episode for Anupama, Dilip Joshi and Hina Khan charge around Rs 1.5-2 lakh per episode. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Helen's incredible fitness journey: How 86-year-old went from walking with cane to jumping on trampoline in 4 months
Helen, the legendary actor celebrated for her unforgettable dance numbers like Piya Tu Ab To Aaja and Aa Jaane-Jaan, has made an inspiring return to fitness and weight loss at the age of 86. Celebrity fitness trainer and Pilates expert Yasmin Karachiwala, who has trained stars like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, and Katrina Kaif, revealed that her most rewarding and cherished transformation story isn't of a young celebrity, but of the evergreen Helen. Here's a closer look at her remarkable fitness journey. (Also read: Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt's fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala shares healthy nacho recipe to satisfy cravings. Watch ) Celebrity trainer Yasmin Karachiwala reveals Helen's amazing journey from struggling with a cane to bouncing on a trampoline at 86.(Instagram) About Helen's fitness transformation In the July 31 episode of the HK Vitals podcast on YouTube, Yasmin opened up about Helen's transformation, calling it 'more satisfying than any other' she's seen in her career. Karachiwala, who shares a warm bond with the Khan family, recalled that Helen had always been fairly active before the COVID-19 lockdown. But post-pandemic, getting back into her fitness groove became a challenge. 'I'd meet her at Diwali or Eid parties and ask when she was coming back to Pilates,' she said. 'I could see her movements slowing down, she started walking with a stick, and her confidence took a hit. Sometimes she'd even avoid looking at me at events, covering her face and joking, 'I don't even want to see you, darling!'' How fitness changed her life in 4 months Then came the turning point. 'One day she just called and said, 'I'm ready.' She walked into my studio with a cane, struggling to move because of her weight and muscle loss. We started slow, focusing on building her strength day by day,' Karachiwala shared. In just four months of consistent Pilates, Helen ditched the cane, could climb stairs, bend down to play with Karachiwala's puppy, and even bounce on a trampoline. 'I told her, 'Aunty, don't bend so much,' and she shot back, 'I can!'' Karachiwala laughed. What made the journey truly special was Helen's discipline. 'She showed up every single day unless she was unwell. Pilates gave her the joy of movement again. That's the beauty of it, it works for both an 86-year-old and a professional athlete,' she said, calling Helen's transformation her ultimate 'success story.'
