Hema Malini recalls doing her own stunts in 'Sholay,' reveals initial disappointment with Basanti's role, and plans to show the classic to her grandchildren
As Ramesh Sippy 's 'Sholay' completed 50 years on Friday, Hema Malini looked back on her experience of playing Basanti, one of Hindi cinema's most iconic characters. Speaking to IANS, the actress revealed that during her prime years, filmmakers often wrote action sequences especially for her. 'If Hema Malini is there in the film, we must make her fight; that was the sentiment,' she laughed. In Sholay, too, she was given memorable stunt sequences, particularly the now-legendary tanga chase where Basanti bravely drives the horse cart while dacoits pursue her. 'Every scene in the film is a moving shot; nothing is static. That's why the film still feels alive after all these years,' she reflected. Wanting more from Basanti at first Interestingly, Hema admitted she wasn't thrilled when Sippy first narrated Basanti's role to her. Coming fresh off the blockbuster Seeta Aur Geeta, where she carried the film on her shoulders, she worried Basanti might be overshadowed. 'I was disappointed at first. I thought, 'Why such a small role for me when there are so many other characters?'' she recalled. It was only after Sippy assured her that Basanti's character would leave a strong emotional and cinematic impact that she agreed. Today, Basanti's witty, bold, and spirited presence is regarded as one of the most beloved parts of Sholay's timeless ensemble. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Kannappa OTT release: When and where to watch Vishnu Manchu's epic Telugu film
After much anticipation and speculation, Kannappa , the mythological epic headlined by Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu, is all set to make its OTT debut. The film, which hit theatres on June 27, 2025, will reportedly begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video soon. The film is adhering to the 10-week theatrical window that Vishnu Manchu had firmly promised during the film's promotions. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannappa is a passion project for Vishnu Manchu, who not only plays the titular role but also penned the screenplay. The film was produced under his home banner, with the backing and guidance of his father, veteran actor Mohan Babu, who also appears in a supporting role. Kannappa OTT release update by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, this game will keep you up all night. No Install. Play for free. Navy Quest Undo Vishnu Manchu's decision to delay the film's digital release beyond the industry norm of 30 days was a deliberate move to honour the theatrical experience. Now, as per OTT play report, the film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on September 5. Kannappa is expected to find a broader audience on OTT. However, we are still waiting for the official confirmation. The narrative of Kannappa follows the dramatic spiritual transformation of Thinnadu, a fierce and rebellious tribal hunter. Initially indifferent to religious beliefs, Thinnadu's life takes a profound turn as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and devotion, ultimately becoming a staunch follower of Lord Shiva. The film attempts to bring this mythological tale to life with grandeur, emotion, and visual spectacle. Kannappa features a star-studded ensemble, including Akshay Kumar portrays Lord Shiva, Prabhas takes on the role of Rudra, Mohanlal plays Kirata, and Kajal Aggarwal stars as Goddess Parvati. The cast also includes Preity Mukhundhan (Nemali), R. Sarathkumar (Nathanathudu), and Madhoo (Pannaga) in key roles. More about Kannappa The film's cinematography is helmed by Sheldon Chau, who captures the spiritual and mythological landscape with a visually immersive style. The elaborate sets, stylised action sequences, and divine depictions are tailored to show how the film is rooted in ancient Indian lore. Made on a massive budget of Rs 200 crore, Kannappa aimed for pan-Indian reach. Alongside the original Telugu version, the film was simultaneously released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. However, despite the scale of production and the star power involved, the theatrical performance fell short of expectations. The film earned only Rs 32 crore at the box office in India. The film's runtime of 182 minutes makes it one of the more expansive mythological dramas released in recent times.
