Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra recently revealed in an interview that she has a crush on Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi, and also spoke about actor-politician Ravi Kishan.
While speaking to India Today, the politician revealed, 'I watched the Munnabhai series, and I will watch it again. I watched Vicky Donor, and I loved it. I love Pankaj Tripathi. I watched the entire Mirzapur series. I even wrote him a note, which he never replied to, but yes, I wrote him a note.'

She added, 'He is my crush. I think he is the coolest actor. I love the mean bad roles he does. I loved him in Mirzapur, even in Gangs of Wasseypur.'
On Ravi Kishan
'I asked Ravi for an interaction,' she revealed. 'He actually made me speak to him on the phone. But I was so shy, I forgot I even sent him a note!'
What she wrote in the note
I said I am a big fan and I would love to meet you for a coffee. But apparently, he stays in Alibagh, and he doesn't meet anyone for coffee.
This happened when I was being interviewed by an anchor. She said, 'I'm going to interview him next — Pankaj Tripathi.' So I asked her to give him a note.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Tripathi spoke about the franchise and revealed, 'During Stree, the producers had told me that if Stree works really well, they will give me a bonus. That amount was crossed in four days for the first part. I didn't even know when the makers had put that same clause in my contract for Stree 2 too, as for (producer) Dinesh Vijan films I never read the agreement. And the figure for the sequel was crossed in just two days.'

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 5: Saiyaara's momentum sinks Ajay Devgn film, it collects less than ₹30 cr

Son Of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 5: Ajay Devgn impressed audiences with his comic timing in the 2012 film Son of Sardaar, which became a commercial success, earning ₹150 crore worldwide on a budget of ₹40 crore. However, the sequel appears to have failed to attract large audiences to theatres. According to Sacnilk, Son of Sardaar 2 has earned ₹29.46 crore in five days. A still from the film Son of Sardaar 2 featuring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur. Son Of Sardaar 2 struggles at the box office The trade tracking site reported that the film witnessed a drop in collections on its first Monday, collecting only ₹2.35 crore. On its first Tuesday, the film's fifth day, there was no improvement, with earnings of only ₹2.36 crore. The film's total domestic collection now stands at ₹29.46 crore. In terms of global earnings, the film has managed ₹37.75 crore. Son of Sardaar 2 is also facing stiff competition from Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara, which is in its third week and continues to perform strongly at the box office. The film earned ₹2.32 crore on Tuesday, its 18th day, taking its total domestic collection to ₹304.42 crore. About Son of Sardaar 2 Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and jointly produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja, the film sees Ajay reprising his role as Jassi, who now pretends to be a war hero to help a couple gain their parents' approval for marriage. The film also stars Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Roshni Walia, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Neetu Bajwa and Sanjay Mishra in key roles. The film received mixed reviews upon its release. While Ajay's performance was appreciated, many were more impressed by Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's comic timing. An excerpt from Hindustan Times' review of Son of Sardaar 2 reads, "Son of Sardaar 2 is not smart cinema, it's not even necessary cinema, but it knows exactly what it's doing. It throws logic out, drags a dhol band in, and somehow marches to the beat of its own madness. And you won't hate the noise."

Vivek Agnihotri alleges multiple FIRs against him by WB ruling party members to hamper release of The Bengal Files

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to his social media on Tuesday to make serious allegations against members of West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress party. He claimed that multiple FIRs have been filed against him in different cities to hamper the release of The Bengal Files, which is slated to hit theatres on 5 September. Here's what he said. Vivek Agnihotri took to social media to claim that certain entities are trying to stop him from focusing on The Bengal Files. Vivek Agnihotri alleges multiple FIRs filed on him Vivek began his video by stating that he is sharing his message from the US, where he is promoting The Bengal Files. He then claimed that despite a stay granted by the Calcutta High Court, FIRs continue to be piled on him. 'I am in the USA promoting The Bengal Files. I must tell you, it's one of the most defining, one of the most important films on Hindu genocide. It uncovers so many dark chapters of our history, which some vested interests had covered up for a very long time. But while I am here, the ruling party of West Bengal and their members have been filing so many FIRs against us in different cities, in different cities and thanas,' said the filmmaker. He also claimed that while he initially chose to stay silent and pursue this only legally, an attempt was being made to derail the film's publicity. 'I have great faith in the Indian judiciary, especially the Calcutta High Court, and I have some good news to give you. The Calcutta High Court has given a stay on all these FIRs. But as the case was being heard in the High Court, at the same time, they filed more FIRs. I think this is their strategy. The ruling party wants to trap us with so many legal hassles, so many legal battles, so that we cannot focus on the promotion of the film,' said Vivek. Questions motive behind the FIRs Vivek also questioned if the FIRs were being filed to 'stifle dissent or hide inconvenient truths. 'This strategy has been deployed by them for a very, very long time. Are they against me? Are they against the film? Or are they against the truth?" he asked. He also alleged that they were denied permission to shoot The Bengal Files in West Bengal and had to shoot it in Mumbai. 'Now, with our limited resources, we want this film to reach every citizen of India, especially the young people,' he said. Vivek also speculated that the FIRs might have been filed on him because the ruling party fears the film's 'influence'. He ended by saying that he will release the film's trailer in West Bengal and that nobody could silence him. While sharing the video, Vivek captioned it: 'Important & Urgent: Multiple FIRs have been filed against me by the West Bengal govt for making #TheBengalFiles. The Hon'ble High Court has stayed them. Why do they want to silence us? Why are they so scared of the truth? I will not be silenced.' The Bengal Files is written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi. It features Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Anupam Kher, and Darshan Kumar and forms part of Agnihotri's Files trilogy, which includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.
