Orry on bringing half of Bollywood in his birthday video: It wasn't a production, it was a devotion to my fans
But the man of the moment insists there was no grand plan. 'See, that's the thing — I didn't. I wasn't sitting here plotting a mega reunion. People just kept sending me videos. One after the other. I thought, why not share this love with the public? It wasn't a production, it was a devotion to my fans — a collaborative art piece that kind of made itself. I just pressed 'post'," he says.
The video, which includes everyone from global music icons to Bollywood A-listers (and even a few alleged rivals), felt less like a reel and more like an international summit — and yes, Orry got arch nemeses Badshah and Honey Singh in the
same
frame.
'It's true; people say I'm a great unifier. I gave these two one shared enemy: missing out—missing out on wishing me along with people far more relevant than myself, that is,' he laughs, before casually dropping this: 'I am known to broker peace, and even Greta Thunberg just reached out to me this morning asking if I'll attend the Nobel Prize ceremony with her," he quips.
Katrina Kaif also made an unexpected cameo. So how did that happen? 'Katrina knows it's kay to be me, and she really wanted you to know that,' says Orry.
As for how long the entire thing took to make? 'No idea. It wasn't that kind of project. There was no call sheet, no master plan. It just kept growing — I was editing between fights, diva tantrums, and existential spirals.'
Meanwhile, Reddit has its own theories claiming that Orry paid a few Hollywood celebs for the birthday wishes. 'Yes, I'd really like to thank @bollytitties69 and others on Reddit for officially placing me in the same category as the moon landing, Avril's alleged body double, Covid, and theories that I was grown in a Louboutin shoebox by shadow billionaires and Bollywood elite. And it's true — it wasn't a party, it was a psyop," he adds.
So what's the verdict from the industry? 'They're already asking if there's a sequel. Some are even trying to recast themselves in it… and some fresh faces are even offering to pay to be in it," he concludes.

About Saiyaara's success Despite new film releases such as Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and Triptii Dimri–Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2, Saiyaara is holding strong at the box office, with steady collections and positive word of mouth. The film has maintained a remarkable run at the box office, collecting over ₹300 crore in India within three weeks. Saiyaara, written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, features great supporting performances from Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film also marks the first collaboration between filmmaker Mohit Suri and the legendary production company Yash Raj Films. About Ahaan Panday's performance Shanoo Sharma, who cast Ahaan in the lead role, revealed that the actor trained with Munjya fame Sharvari for three years. 'The first three years went into training. We trained, and we trained, and Sharvari was also on that bandwagon. So we got Sharvari and him to do improvisation and scenes, and scenes, and scenes. I was training them personally. After that, COVID hit. So when he had his whole waiting period, he joined The Railway Men as an AD," Shanoo shared while talking to The Hollywood Reporter.

When Shah Rukh Khan gave lip-syncing lessons to Alia Bhatt and Suhana Khan
Alia Bhatt the iconic actress, made a spectacular move to reclaim her throne post the release of 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' impressing the audiences with her craft. While she had been vocal about different grinds, one of which had been lip-syncing a song after a long break from the films. To the rescue, she had none other than the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan . Lip-syncing tutorials by Shah Rukh Khan During the post-release press conference for the film, the 32-year-old actress revealed that Khan shared some tips for lip-syncing the songs. 'I was resuming work after a couple of months. For the first time, I was doing a proper after Ishq Wala Love. I realised that I could do better,' she said, according to Hindustan Times. Furthermore, Bhatt chronicled that she asked Karan Johar for help, who suggested that she should ask the person who has mastered the art. When the 'Jigra' actress reached out to Shah Rukh Khan, he – without any hesitation – invited her to his house. As his daughter, Suhana Khan , wanted to learn the techniques as well, he provided the tutorials to both of them, asking Bhatt to bring the track [Tum Kya Mile] with her to his house. Shah Rukh Khan generously helped Alia Bhatt 'He told me, 'Tu ghar aa ja (You just come home). Suhana also wants to learn. Toh tum dono ka saath mein tuition karenge! Toh tu gaana leke aa ja (I will give you both tuitions together, you just bring the song),'' she said in the press conference. Recalling the practice sessions, Alia revealed that they rehearsed the lip-syncing for a couple of hours. She continued, 'There's a whole lip sync portion that Shreya has sung beautifully. The way he broke it even downloaded some apps. He said, 'Yeh baar baar karo (So this again and again)'. He learned the song by the end of it.' Appreciating the actor, Bhatt said that the experience showed her how generous Shah Rukh Khan is. 'He's so wonderful and ever willing to help! That experience will be irreplaceable in my life,' the actress concluded.
