Ahead of War 2 and Coolie box office clash, Hrithik Roshan sends wishes to Rajinikanth: ‘You were my first teacher'
Ahead of the release of War 2 and Coolie, Hrithik Roshan extended heartfelt wishes to Rajinikanth, calling him 'an inspiration and a standard.' Rajinikanth's Bhagwan Dada also starred a young Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik's tweet for Rajinikanth A day before War 2 hits theatres, Hrithik took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "Took my first steps as an actor at your side. You were one of my first teachers, @rajinikanth sir, and continue to be an inspiration and a standard. Congratulations on completing 50 years of on-screen magic!" The actor fondly recalled working with Rajinikanth as a child in Bhagwaan Dada (1986), describing the superstar as one of his earliest mentors. Celebrating Rajinikanth's remarkable 50 years in Indian cinema, Hrithik praised his enduring legacy and unmatched on-screen charisma. The warm gesture took fans by surprise, with many hailing Hrithik as 'the most secure Indian actor.' A fan wrote, 'Clash a side, Rajini sir always be our teacher.' Another said, 'Hope both movies do better at the box office.' About War 2 War 2 will see Hrithik return as Major Kabir from War (2019), which was the year's highest-grossing film. The sequel marks the sixth installment in YRF's Spy Universe, featuring Hrithik alongside NTR Jr and Kiara Advani. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films, the movie releases on August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. About Coolie Earlier this month, the makers released the trailer for Coolie, giving audiences a glimpse of Rajinikanth in a powerful new look, with intense action scenes, dramatic moments, and strong dialogues. Fans will also see actor Nagarjuna playing the villain. The film has officially received an A (Adults Only) certificate from the censor board. This marks the superstar's first A-rated film in many years, hinting that the film will be packed with intense and unfiltered action. One major highlight of the much-awaited film is the reunion of Thalaiva and actor Aamir Khan after nearly three decades. The two last worked together in the 1995 film Aatank Hi Aatank. In Coolie, Aamir Khan will be seen as Dahaa. A poster showcasing Aamir's rugged new look was recently shared by the makers. Coolie is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner. The film is set to clash at the box office with another big release, War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.

Rakul Preet Singh celebrates first Kajari Teej with mom-in-law Puja Bhagnani, shows her 'waiting for moon face'
Actor Rakul Preet Singh celebrated her first Teej with her mother-in-law Puja Bhagnani. Her husband and producer Jackky Bhagnani was also part of the festival and she took to social media to share the joyous moments. Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani got married in 2024 after dating for 3 years. Rakul celebrates first Teej Rakul celebrated Kajari Teej on August 12, and took to Instagram to share pictures from the same. Posting pictures from the special day, Rakul expressed her delight, describing the experience as lovely. 'Happpy Teej to all of you celebrating .. this was my first time celebrating with my MIL @pujabhagnani and what a lovely experience .. slide to see the waiting for moon face… the wait is real,' she wrote. In the pictures, Rakul exuded festive charm in a vibrant red salwar kameez, radiating joy and warmth. She was accompanied by her husband Jackky Bhagnani and mother-in-law Puja Bhagnani, as they celebrated the auspicious occasion of Kajari Teej together. In the last slide, Rakul shared a picture in which she is seen holding an arti thali with Jackky alongside. They are posing on a balcony with moon in the background. She posted the images with song Saiyaara, sung by Shreya Ghoshal. About Rakul Preet and Jackky Bhagnani Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani dated for three years before tying the knot on 21 February 2024. They had a beautiful destination wedding held in Goa. The couple celebrated their union with two heartfelt ceremonies: an Anand Karaj (Sikh) in the afternoon, followed by a Sindhi wedding later in the evening. Recently, speaking during Farah Khan's latest cooking vlog, Rakul recalled that their first meeting took place during the COVID-19 lockdown, under highly unusual circumstances. It was her brother's birthday, and the siblings were on the lookout for a vodka bottle. This led them to Jackky's house in full PPE kits. 'We came to his house wearing PPE kits, sanitised each other's hands just to say hello, and even sanitised the bottle,' Rakul said, laughing. Jackky chimed in with mock indignation, joking, 'They came, took the bottle, and didn't even invite me!'
