Earlier, Mohit Suri, who is known for his films in the romance genre, had reacted to the criticism that Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films face.
Mohit Suri told Filmygyan, "I love his films. Hum banate hai use controversial (We make his films controversial). Ye same kahaani aap kisi gangster ke sath karo - Bhatt sahab ne kiya hai Sadak mein. (You make Sandeep kind of films with a gangster, Mahesh Bhatt has made Sadak like that). We are from that school of cinema. Ram Gopal Varma has made such films too. Everyone has the right to make their films. You have a right to like it or not like it."
Defending creative freedom in Vanga's films, Mohit Suri added, "Very few people think Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh have no difference. I feel there is a big difference between the two films. There is more emotion in the second part. I loved Animal. I messaged him during Animal that I am a Sandeep Reddy Vanga fan."

This actor vanished from a mental asylum, 25 years later, his daughter still waits, now looks like a Bollywood star, her name is...
The 1980s heartthrob Raj Kiran was once a familiar face in Bollywood, but his life took a puzzling turn that few could have predicted. First came the shocking reports that he had been admitted to a mental health facility. Then, in a twist no one saw coming, he disappeared. Just like that. Gone. Was he ever found? Despite attempts by friends and family, including Rishi Kapoor and Deepti Naval, no one has been able to definitively trace his whereabouts. Some claimed he was in an Atlanta asylum. Others believed he had been seen driving a taxi in New York. But none of it was ever confirmed. The last official record of him dates back to 1999. What happened at the mental hospital? According to reports, Raj Kiran spent time in Mumbai's Byculla mental hospital. One day, he simply vanished from there. Since then, he's been swallowed by rumour, speculation, and mystery. Some believe he's alive. Most have given up. But one person never did His daughter, Rishika Mahatani, was just a little girl when he went missing. Now in her twenties, she continues to quietly hope for his return. She hasn't made big public appeals or dramatic media appearances, but her Instagram speaks volumes. Who is Rishika Mahatani? Known for her elegant looks and love for diamond jewellery, Rishika is steadily gaining attention on social media. Her aesthetic posts, often featuring luxury designs, have earned her a loyal following. Many believe she could easily make a transition to acting if she chooses. Will she follow her father's footsteps in films? While there's been no official announcement, industry watchers wouldn't be surprised if Rishika made her Bollywood debut one day. For now, she's carving out her own identity, one that's graceful, resilient, and quietly strong. Even as the industry forgets Raj Kiran, his daughter carries forward a piece of his legacy, not just through memories, but through her rising light. Whether or not she ever reunites with her father, she's already shining in her way.

Tanishk Bagchi on Saiyaara success and lack of credit for composers: 'No name on poster when it is promoted...'
Tanishk Bagchi, the composer behind Saiyaara's success, highlights the struggle for recognition faced by music creators in Bollywood. He acknowledges his father's unfulfilled musical aspirations as a driving force. Bagchi praises director Mohit Suri for supporting composers but expresses disappointment with production houses for overlooking their contributions after a song's success. As Saiyaara continues its dream run at the box office, music composer Tanishk Bagchi is riding high on the film's success. But behind the chartbusters and accolades lies a story of grit, passion, and a long fight for recognition. The composer—whose work has played a vital role in the film's emotional depth—recently opened up about his journey, the legacy of his father, and the industry's persistent failure to credit music creators. The Credit Gap in the Industry In a recent interview with BollywoodShaadis, Tanishk opened up about his deep connection with music, calling every form—be it bhajan, kirtan, or film songs—a form of art. He shared that music is his passion, and whether it's recreating classics or composing originals, he puts his heart into it. However, he also voiced a long-standing frustration faced by many composers like himself and his father: the lack of proper credit. Tanishk pointed out that while songs like Saiyaara become hits and his name is associated with them, people rarely acknowledge the years of hard work behind the scenes. Instead, the spotlight often goes to actors, directors, and promoters who are more socially visible. Carrying Forward His Father's Legacy The composer reflected on his journey and paid tribute to his father, a talented musician who faced many struggles and couldn't achieve the recognition he deserved. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo Tanishk shared that he sees his own success as a continuation of his father's legacy, humbly stating that he's not a big music director, but someone carrying forward his parents' musical gifts. He praised director Mohit Suri for actively promoting composers and supporting their work. However, he expressed disappointment with production houses, stating that once they buy the music and it becomes a hit, they quickly move on to the next project without acknowledging the creators. Tanishk also pointed out how composers are often left out of promotional materials, including film posters and social media. 'I make a song and don't go beating the drums saying I have done it,' he said, highlighting how the hard work of music directors often goes unnoticed in the glamor of film promotions. Recognition Often Comes Too Late Bagchi further opened up about the emotional weight behind his musical journey, admitting that despite putting in immense hard work, recognition often remains elusive for composers like him. He finds it rare when a music director is properly credited and feels strongly that his creative energy comes from his parents, especially his father, whose unfulfilled musical dreams fuel his own drive. He recalled a pivotal moment in his life back in Kolkata, when he first realised that music was his true calling. That decision, he shared, became the defining turning point of his career. From that day onward, he committed to pursuing music with full responsibility, determined to rise on his own without relying on anyone else. For Tanishk, it wasn't just about sacrifice—it was about persistence and holding on, no matter how tough the path.

It appeared as though the President's waist-up body was scaling out of a manhole in the life-size resin sculpture. Known as 'Donald,' the piece was installed covertly by French artist James Colomina.

Trump, dressed in a suit and tie, was depicted in the statue staring up with his lips pursed and his face serious. A small red rat caught a glimpse of the outside of the manhole cover next to the president. Known for his controversial red sculptures erected in public areas, Colomina told USA Today, 'I installed the sculpture in New York because this is where he built his image, his empire, his legend. A city he tried to conquer with golden towers and brutal slogans. I wanted this image – a red body rising from the sewers – to disturb that landscape.' According to Colomina, the sculpture was made in roughly three weeks at his French studio. After that, he disassembled it and moved it to New York, where he put it back together. In allusion to Trump's well-known catchphrase, 'Make America Great Again,' Colomina shared a picture of the sculpture on his Instagram account on July 23 with the statement, 'Make America Grime Again.'

The artwork was situated in front of The News Building at the intersection of East 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, which is situated a few hours away from Trump Tower. 'I liked the idea of creating a stark contrast between this vertical monument and the grotesque figure emerging from the sewers,' the artist said. Reacting to the artist's post on Instagram, one user wrote: 'Love this,' while another called him a 'genius'. 'Super evocative,' a third person commented. White House reacts to Red Trump sculpture Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, told USA TODAY that although many artists try to portray Trump's 'powerful aura,' only few are successful. 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,' stated Jackson, as per USA Today Mocking Colomina, the White House official said, 'This 'artist' will have to go back to the drawing board. Or perhaps art school.' Who is James Colomina? Here's what we know about the French artist Street artist Colomina is recognized for his life-size, vivid red sculptures that have been erected in Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo, and many other places. According to Colomina's artist profile on the Galeries Bartoux website, 'The 'Colomina Red,' the artist's visual signature, embodies the anger, passion, and urgency of the issues he tackles.' Without any warning, he installs his creations right in the street, turning ordinary areas into venues for creative contemplation, as per the website.
