This film changed Sanjay Dutt's life, was made for Rs 5 crore, it earned Rs..., Anil Kapoor even begged for a role, the movie is...'

Sanjay Dutt has been one of the finest actors in Bollywood. For the last 4 decades, the actor has been a part of the industry. Though Sanjay was born into a family of actors, with his father and mother — Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt — being the top names in Bollywood, Sanjay carved his own path. Dutt made his debut with the film Rocky in 1981, but his breakthrough came with Naam in 1986. Today, we will discuss a film that turned out to be a game-changer. Sanjay Dutt's Film That Changed His Career This movie, which is in discussion, was made for Rs 5 crore and went on to earn Rs 21 crore in 1993. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about, then it is none other than Khalnayak. When Sanjay Dutt Became a Star Due to This Film In 1993, Khalnayak changed the direction of Sanjay Dutt's career. The actor played a grey-shaded character, and for some reason, the audience really liked the role — it turned out to be a game-changer for Sanjay. Apart from Dutt, the movie also starred Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit. Anil Kapoor Begged for This Role? Interestingly, Anil Kapoor was also in the queue for this iconic role. During an interview, Khalnayak's director Subhash Ghai revealed that Anil Kapoor had expressed his desire to play the villain several times. Anil Kapoor was even ready to go bald for this role, but he felt that Sanjay was perfect for it — and indeed, the performance given by Sanju Baba is memorable even today.

Mayasabha: A gripping political drama

Deva Katta makes a powerful comeback with Mayasabha, a bold and layered political web series that dives deep into the turbulent world of Andhra Pradesh politics. Now streaming on Sony LIV and OTTplay Premium, the nine-episode first season is a slow-burn that gradually erupts into a compelling, high-stakes drama. With stellar performances from Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao, and a daring yet balanced narrative, Mayasabha proves to be a standout addition to Telugu OTT content. Inspired by the real-life political journeys of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and YS Rajasekhar Reddy, though presented as fictional, Mayasabha chronicles the rise of two ambitious young men—Krishnama Naidu and Rami Reddy—from student politics to positions of immense power. The show focuses not just on their ideological clashes, but also their personal sacrifices, friendships, and the deeply entrenched caste politics that shaped Andhra's past. Deva Katta's storytelling is backed by extensive research, evident in the attention to period detail—from college campuses of the 80s to political rallies and pressrooms. The first few episodes focus on character-building and social context, setting the stage for a dramatic turn in the second half. The pacing may feel measured early on, but patience is rewarded with powerful confrontations and gripping sequences that highlight both emotional depth and political strategy. Aadhi Pinisetty delivers a career-best performance as the stammering yet strong-willed Krishnama. His internal battles and transformation are portrayed with authenticity and nuance. Chaitanya Rao surprises with an intense, charismatic turn as Rami Reddy, mastering the Rayalaseema dialect and owning every frame he appears in. Together, their dynamic forms the emotional and political core of the show. The supporting cast elevates the series even further. Sai Kumar, as a character resembling NTR, and Nasser as a media magnate inspired by Ramoji Rao, bring gravitas and nostalgia. Divya Dutta, Tanya Ravichandran, and Srikanth Iyengar round out a solid ensemble. Technically, Mayasabha impresses with sharp cinematography, detailed production design, and well-crafted dialogues. The show doesn't shy away from controversial topics like caste-based politics, yet handles them with surprising maturity and balance. Ending on a tantalizing cliffhanger, Mayasabha sets the tone for what promises to be an even more explosive second season. For anyone intrigued by political history or powerful storytelling, this is a must-watch. Rating: 3.5/5

Janeita Singh wins 'Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize' 2025 for 'F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist'

New Delhi: Academician and art critic Janeita Singh has won the third edition of the Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize for "F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist", published by Niyogi Books. The winner, chosen out of the five shortlisted titles, was presented with a trophy, certificate and cash prize of Rs 1 lakh. The ceremony was hosted at the Embassy of Norway on Wednesday. "To be loved is to be seen and known. The critical study on Souza's life and art was a dance with provocation, heresy, and beauty. Now that 'F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist' lounges on hallowed shelves -- how delicious, then, to be crowned by the Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize in the homeland. That the book resonates with readers and institutions alike is a reward beyond the prize." Singh said on winning the award. The jury, led by art critic and chairperson Alka Pande, included May-Elin Stener, Ambassador of Norway to India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives; Priti Paul, director of Apeejay Surrendra Group; Apurva Kackar, director of institutional affairs and outreach at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA); and Swagat Sengupta, CEO of Apeejay Oxford Bookstores. "As art increasingly becomes a collectible, the need to document it thoughtfully through high-quality production is more essential than ever. The prize plays a vital role in encouraging artists, galleries, cultural institutions, and publishers to publish more art books. These publications serve as important records that preserve and disseminate artistic and cultural ideas', said Pande while announcing the winner. Alongside the winning title, the jury also commended two more books of the shortlisted titles: "Raza, the other modern" by Gayatri Sinha, Yashodhara Dalmia and Geeti Sen, and published by Mapin Publishing and The Raza Foundation, and Progressive Art Gallery's "A Thousand Shadows", authored and published by Navin Sakhuja.
