Bosco Upset Over Not Being 'Credited' For Chuttamalle Choreography: ‘Wish Janhvi Kapoor Spoke'
Bosco expressed his disappointment over not being acknowledged for choreographing Chuttamalle from Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor film Devara.
Renowned choreographer Bosco Martis, known for viral Bollywood tracks like Jhoome Jo Pathaan, Kala Chashma and Tauba Tauba, is speaking out about the lack of credit given to choreographers despite their pivotal role in shaping a song's popularity.
In a candid interview with BBC Asian Network, Bosco expressed his disappointment over not being acknowledged for choreographing Chuttamalle from Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor film Devara. The track has gained significant traction online, but Bosco revealed he hasn't been credited for it during the promotional run.
'I wish Janhvi would have spoken about it in her promotions, but fine, it's okay," Bosco said with a smile.
He pointed out the contrast between how Vicky Kaushal handled a similar situation, sharing that the Tauba Tauba actor gracefully gave him credit in interviews and public appearances.
Bosco further explained that the issue goes beyond just one song. 'If they don't realise it, I think, then they don't realise it. So, you do your work, and maybe it's a switch I don't know," he said while adding that many in the industry overlook the contribution of choreographers even when discussing iconic dance moves.
The choreographer said that the industry needs to find a more structured and respectful approach to acknowledging behind-the-scenes talent. 'The correction has to be made. I think there's a scientific way of doing this instead of forcing yourself and making that call and talking to somebody, saying, 'You know, why have you not taken my name on the radio station or somebody talks about the dance move, why are you not talking about me?'"
He suggested that a protocol should be put in place so that audiences automatically learn who choreographed a song, rather than relying on actors or directors to name-drop. 'It needs to be scientifically done, I guess. There has to be a protocol that needs to be set where people get to know about who is the choreographer instead of somebody having to endorse it," Bosco said.

Kriti Sanon Says Nothing Comes Easy For Outsiders In Bollywood: 'No Free Lunches'
Kriti Sanon, who studied engineering, began her journey with modelling before entering films. She made her Bollywood debut with Heropanti in 2014 and proved herself with both commercial hits and strong performances. Her role in Mimi (2021) won her the National Award for Best Actress, which she shared with Alia Bhatt. At CNN-News18's SheShakti 2025, Kriti opened up on being an outsider in Bollywood and how her journey required patience, hard work, and belief in herself. The actor said, 'You need to really be passionate about it and there is no shortcut. Nothing comes easy, there are no free lunches. You have to work hard towards it, and what is also very, very important is not to give up, because there will be times, especially when you don't come from a film background, when no one's giving you anything on a platter. There will be so many people telling you why it's too big a dream, why it can't happen, why contact is needed, why connections are needed, or what is wrong with you — you're too short, you're too tall, you're too thin, you're not in the right shape, whatever. I feel people are going to tell you what's wrong with you; no one's really going to tell you that you can do it other than you." Kriti also spoke about the struggles of being an outsider in Bollywood and said it's important to stay strong through the journey. 'I feel you really need to be very driven, passionate, and patient, because it will come when the time is right, but you have to keep working on yourself. I think that's the most important thing. The years that you get before you crack that film — don't feel like, oh my God, it's taking so long. Just have a different approach: maybe it's taking so long because you need that time to work on yourself, to get better. So it'll happen when the time is right, I promise you that, but you have to be at it." Kriti Sanon was last seen in the Netflix thriller Do Patti (2024), where she delivered a dual performance and also debuted as a producer. Earlier in the year, she appeared in Crew with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tabu, and in the romantic drama Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. She won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role as a surrogate mother in Mimi (2021), a performance that cemented her place as one of the leading talents of her generation. Next, Kriti will star opposite Dhanush in Anand L. Rai's Tere Ishk Mein (releasing November 28, 2025) and will headline Homi Adajania's Cocktail 2, which begins filming this August and is slated for release in late 2026.

Did Hrithik Roshan unfollow Jr NTR amid the dip in War 2's earnings, here's what we know
In the high-stakes world of Bollywood, where box office numbers and social media moves are closely watched, a recent development has left fans buzzing. A subtle change in social media activity involving two major stars has sparked widespread speculation and concern. What is the entire matter? As per reports, Hrithik Roshan has unfollowed his War 2 co-star Jr NTR on social media platforms. This move comes amid the film's underwhelming performance at the box office. Released on August 14, 2025, War-2, a high-budget action thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji, opened with strong numbers, earning Rs 115 crore in just two days. However, the momentum didn't sustain; by the seventh day, the film had crossed the Rs 250 crore mark at domestic box office, experiencing a significant drop in daily collections. Did Hrithik Roshan actually unfollow Jr NTR? Interestingly, while social media buzz suggests tension, the truth is that Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR have never followed each other on social media to begin with. Hrithik follows his War 2 co-star Kiara Advani and the film's director Ayan Mukerji, but not Jr NTR. This detail clarifies that the recent speculation about an 'unfollow' might be unfounded, as there was no social media connection between the two stars in the first place. More about War 2 War 2, released on August 14, 2025, was one of the most anticipated films of the year, positioned as a major addition to Yash Raj Films' expanding Spy Universe. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film brought together two powerhouse stars — Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, and Jr NTR making his Hindi spy-action debut. Expectations were sky-high, especially after the success of previous Spy Universe films like Tiger 3, Pathaan, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War. However, the film's performance has fallen short of expectations. Add as a Preferred Source Critics and fans pointed to several issues: a predictable plot, underdeveloped character arcs, and poor VFX. While the action sequences were praised, many felt they lacked emotional weight and novelty seen in earlier Spy Universe entries. The Telugu version's underperformance also sparked backlash from Jr NTR's fanbase, forcing producer Naga Vamsi to respond to online trolling. Story Highlights War 2 experienced a strong opening but failed to maintain its box office momentum, surpassing Rs 250 crore in the first week. Hrithik Roshan reportedly unfollowed Jr NTR on social media, leading to fan speculation about their relationship. Despite buzz, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR have never followed each other on social media. The Telugu version of War 2 underperformed, prompting producer Naga Vamsi to respond to online criticism. War 2 had the makings of a blockbuster, but weak execution led to a lukewarm response. It's a wake-up call for the Spy Universe to prioritize strong storytelling over just grand scale.
