'I Just Went Without Expectations, And Won!', Dhairya Gholap on Bagging the Filmfare Marathi Award for Best Debut
Speaking after the win, Dhairya confessed that the moment took him by complete surprise. 'I honestly didn't see this coming. Some seniors told me to attend the awards, and I just went with no expectations. And suddenly, I was on stage, holding that black lady. It still feels unreal,' he shared.
The film, mounted on a big canvas, has been praised for its scale and storytelling — with Dhairya's performance earning special applause. Industry stalwarts are already placing their bets on his future, with none other than producer Sajid Nadiadwala telling him, 'Tu lambi race ka ghoda hai.' The remark, coming from one of the industry's biggest producers, has only strengthened Dhairya's resolve to go further.
With Yek Number being likened to Prabhas's Baahubali moment — both in terms of scale and what it could mean for his trajectory — Dhairya is staying focused. 'I'm reading a lot of scripts, including Hindi projects. I want to be part of a big, meaningful cinema that leaves a mark.' he says.

It is a sequel to the 2003 movie 'Freaky Friday', itself based on Mary Rodgers's 1972 novel, and the seventh overall film in the franchise. Curtis reprised her role as Tess Coleman alongside her original co-star and on-screen daughter, Lindsay Lohan , reported Variety. In a post on Instagram recently, Time shared an excerpt from Stephanie Zacharek's review of the film. In the review, she wrote, "No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003's buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy 'Freaky Friday.'" Curtis responded by commenting on the post, "SEEMS a TAD HARSH. SOME people LOVE it. Me being one." 'Freakier Friday' is a 2025 fantasy comedy film directed by Nisha Ganatra and written by Jordan Weiss.

"Happening," as quoted by Variety."We're a minute away. But very excited. Very excited. But I'm tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple other things to hustle and then I'll get to enjoy that work," said Jamie Lee Curtis to Entertainment Tonight as quoted by Variety. In December 2024, Variety reported that Curtis was being eyed to lead Universal's 'Murder, She Wrote' film adaptation. The 'Freakier Friday' star will take on the role of Jessica Fletcher, the crime writer turned detective who Angela Lansbury played in the original series, reported Variety.
