Thankfully, things returned to normal shortly after Akshay's intervention. Security managed to get control of the situation, and the cast resumed the planned activities.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the 2011 entertainer still holds a special place in the hearts of fans for its catchy songs, comic timing.

One of the fans wrote, 'Amazing film sir. Watched it so many times." Another wrote, 'Fantastic, we should make part 2." Take a look here: Released on June 3, 2011, Ready was a remake of a Telugu hit and went on to become one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters of that year. Apart from its storyline, the film became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its chartbuster tracks like 'Dhinka Chika," 'Character Dheela," and the hilarious family antics that kept audiences thoroughly entertained. Recently, Salman Khan was spotted by the paparazzi after a long time, making a rare public appearance in Mumbai. The superstar, who is under Y+ security due to ongoing death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was surrounded by a tight security detail as he stepped out from Galaxy apartments. On the work front, while Salman hasn't officially announced any new films, reports suggest he has signed Apoorva Lakhia's next project, which will reportedly be based on the Galwan Valley conflict. Filming is expected to begin in July. Meanwhile, buzz is building around Salman's potential return to television. The actor is reportedly set to reprise his role as host for Bigg Boss 19, with promos likely to be shot by the end of June. A tentative launch window for the season is expected in late July. Adding to the speculation, fresh rumours suggest that Salman might also take over hosting duties for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17. Reports claim that Amitabh Bachchan may step away from the quiz show due to personal reasons. 'Get ready to tune into Sony as Salman Khan might host the biggest and most popular quiz show of India," a source quoted in reports said. First Published: June 03, 2025, 20:14 IST

Siddharth Nigam on being replaced by Aaman Devgan in Azaad: Waited an entire year
Actor Siddharth Nigam's mother, Vibha Nigam, recently recalled how her son was replaced by Aaman Devgan in 'Azaad' after auditioning for the film. She said that as a mother, she was hurt upon learning about Ajay Devgn's nephew being cast in the period drama. Siddharth and Vibha reflected on the unpredictable nature of the entertainment speaking about Siddharth's audition for 'Azaad,' Vibha, in an interview with Instant Bollywood, said, "I took him along for the meeting. The entire script was narrated, and we waited for a year. I was happy because the film was good, and Siddharth would have had a strong launch in Bollywood. I really loved the script."advertisement"But suddenly, after two years, Siddharth showed me the poster of 'Azaad' and said, 'Mum, this has been released, and these are the people in the film.' Then we saw that the film starred Ajay Devgn's nephew and Rasha. For the first time in my life, I felt bad. When things like this happen, as a mother, it hurts. Then I realised both of them were star kids, and that made all the difference," she added. Siddharth, however, stated that he doesn't want to blame anyone, as such is the nature of business in the film industry. He said, "There's no one to blame. This is the business industry, so there's no point in asking why they did it — they must have had their own reasons. It's more of a personal realisation and pain. You get your hopes up thinking something might work out. We wait for an entire year, and then we see the teaser. So after watching it, we just thought, 'Oh, okay. Let's move on.'"advertisementApart from Aaman, 'Azaad' featured Raveena Tandon's daughter Rasha Thadani, who also made her film debut. The period action drama was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and co-produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Pragya Kapoor.'Azaad' released in theatres on January 17, Watch
