The story of 'Ta Ra Rum Pum'
'Ta Ra Rum Pum' was about a car racer whose life changed after a near-death accident. Though he returned to the track after a year, the trauma never left him. The film did reasonably well at the box office and became a semi hit. Over the years, many people have kept the film close to their hearts.
The Brad Pitt 'F1' wave
Fast forward 18 years, and now Brad Pitt is starring in a movie called 'F1'. This film shows him as a former Formula One driver who returns to the elite racing world in his 50s to help a friend.
The sports drama also highlights how he lifts his team's spirits. 'F1' has been praised by critics and audiences alike. Everyone is talking about how real and thrilling it feels, almost like you're sitting inside the car with the driver.
Fans flood social media with comparisons
It didn't take long for people to start drawing funny comparisons between 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' and 'F1'. Social media has been buzzing with memes, jokes and clever posts.
It seems these memes also caught Siddharth Anand's eye, prompting him to tweet about his 'lovely beast'.
Netizens react to Siddharth's tweet
Fans could not stop reacting after seeing Siddharth's tweet. One person wrote, 'F1 this F1 that. this was my F1'
Another said, 'Ta Ra Rum Pum is your best-directed film to date, and it truly deserves a sequel. I know you're not particularly fond of directing sequels, but if one ever gets made, no other director can do it justice the way you can.
Please do consider it. The audience may have failed the film back in 2007, but this time, we'll make sure that its sequel becomes a blockbuster.' There were plenty of other cheerful reactions too.
Someone pleaded, 'Re-release kardo Lord.' One person even suggested, 'You should release a sequel to this movie.'
But not everyone was convinced by the light-hearted comparisons. A few fans felt that while 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' was entertaining, it was not quite in the same league as 'F1'.
What's next for Siddharth Anand?
While everyone is busy talking about 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' again, Siddharth Anand has his hands full with another massive project. He is currently shooting for 'King', which stars
Shah Rukh Khan
,
Abhishek Bachchan
and Suhana Khan, among others.

Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Dies At 84; Family Says 'We Were Not Ready For You To Go Yet'
Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings - Doug and Julie - in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father. Brad Pitt is grieving the loss of his beloved mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away at the age of 84. Jane, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings – Doug and Julie – in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father, William Pitt, a former trucking company owner. Though the family kept a low profile, Jane occasionally stepped into the public eye to support her Oscar-winning son, attending red carpets including the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, directed by then-daughter-in-law Angelina Jolie. On Wednesday, August 6, Brad's niece Sydney — Doug's daughter — shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Calling Jane 'the biggest heart," she wrote, 'My sweet Grammy, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier." Sydney added, 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it. I don't know how we move forward without her." Jane Pitt was not only a dedicated mother and grandmother but also a passionate supporter of children's health. In 2009, Brad and his siblings donated $1 million to open the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in Missouri. The facility brought the region its first pediatric oncologist and hematologist, demonstrating the family's commitment to meaningful change. Even as recently as June 2025, Brad Pitt paid tribute to his mom during a press interview for his film F1. Speaking to Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, he smiled and said, 'I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning. To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom," before blowing a kiss on camera. Jane's deep impact on her children's lives was evident in a 2018 video for WorldServe International. 'I'm very proud of all my children," she said. 'They see a need and try to step in and fill it… It's an amazing thing." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
