Throwback: When Shah Rukh Khan clarified Bauua Singh is nothing like Kamal Haasan's Appu Raja: This film is not about…
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) In a throwback to the time leading up to the release of Zero (2018), Shah Rukh Khan addressed growing comparisons between his character Bauua Singh and Kamal Haasan 's iconic role in 'Appu Raja' (1989). Earlier, responding to speculation after Zero's teaser launch, SRK categorically denied any similarities between the two characters, insisting that the story of Zero goes far beyond physical stature. 'It's About Incompleteness, Not Height' As reported by Peeping Moon when asked whether Bauua Singh shared any traits with Appu Raja, Shah Rukh Khan responded firmly: 'Not at all. This film is not about a vertically-challenged person. It's about incompleteness.' He clarified that while Bauua Singh happens to be short in stature, Zero is a film that delves into human flaws, emotional vulnerabilities, and how individuals find joy in spite of them. He added that the film sought to break stereotypes, especially the outdated idea that people with disabilities or differences are relegated to circus-like settings in narratives. 'One of the other things that we didn't want to have is that it's a given that if you're vertically challenged, you would be in a circus. We didn't want that in the film,' he stated. After intolerance remark, SRK plays it safe this time! SRK Praises Kamal Haasan's Vision Despite dismissing comparisons, Shah Rukh was full of praise for Kamal Haasan and Appu Raja. 'Appu Raja was fantastic. Full marks to Kamal sir to even attempt it. Only he, with his weird, intelligent way of thinking, can do it,' SRK said, acknowledging the boldness of the 1989 film and its lasting impact.

He stressed that Zero aimed to shatter the myth that physical or emotional 'incompleteness' leads to negativity. 'You can celebrate life in spite of being incomplete. So, it's not about the height,' he concluded. On the work front, Kamal Haasan recently starred in 'Thug Life' which is directed by Mani Ratnam. Unfortunately the film is getting mixed reviews.

R Madhavan recalls uncomfortable scene from Shaitaan: Had to be authentic
Actor R Madhavan recently spoke about his most challenging sequence from 'Shaitaan.' While speaking to actor Kajol, in a one-on-one interaction, Madhavan recalled how the urination scene in the supernatural horror took an emotional toll on actor, who was having a conversation with Kajol on JioStudios' YouTube channel for 'Maa', admitted feeling disgusted about the shot. In the sequence where his character forces her daughter to dance constantly, resulting in her wetting herself due to physical strain, Madhavan said, "It was a very sensitive scene."advertisement"There's this moment where I make my daughter dance through the night. She reaches a point where she can't hold it anymore and urinates. In the original version of the film, the approach to the scene was different. But here, I realised that even as a villain, if I looked at her during that moment, it would send out a completely different message. I needed the audience to feel disgust—not pity or justification," he added. The 'Kesari - Chapter Two' actor further said, "So, I wrapped myself in a blanket, deliberately avoiding looking at her. That decision not only worked for the character but gave me relief as an actor. I could step away emotionally while still staying true to the role. I simply tell the mother, 'Can you go help your daughter?'"advertisementMadhavan concluded, "There were many such moments during filming that made me deeply uncomfortable. But I had to find ways to stay authentic while protecting myself emotionally."'Shaitaan', directed by Vikas Bahl, was the Hindi adaptation of the Gujarati film Vash' (2023). It featured Ajay Devgn, Jyothika, and Janki Bodiwala alongside Madhavan in pivotal characters. The film is about a family held hostage by a mysterious man who exerts mind control over their daughter through upcoming mythological-horror 'Maa' is a spin-off to 'Shaitaan.' Both films have been produced by Devgn Watch
