Aayush Sharma reflects on back surgeries, says ignored body's signs
He then shared how he ended up having two back surgeries and said "I was taking my body's messages lightly for a long time. I was constantly under training and I misunderstood it as muscle soreness. That was just the body saying, 'stop, give it a break'." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aayush Sharma (@aaysharma)The 'Loveyatri' actor added, "I was in the middle of a shoot when it got aggravated. That's when I saw the doctor and suddenly I was told that there was an issue in the back and my L4 and L5 is giving me trouble."On a lighter note, the actor expressed that his time at the hospital helped him bond with his family. He stated, 'In very positive hindsight, it gave me a great amount of time with my kids and wife at home. We called it a bonding exercise. My son started cooking for me and made nice avocado toasts. Arpita (Khan, wife) and I caught up on a lot of movies. So, it turned out to be quite a different summer for me," he said.He concluded by saying that learning to take a break is the major change he has made in his life. He stated that his fitness routine now includes relaxing his body and exploring outdoor activities like jogging.- EndsMust Watch

Raashii Khanna Joins Farhan Akhtar In Action Drama 120 Bahadur
Last Updated: Raashii Khanna joins Farhan Akhtar in the war drama 120 Bahadur, set for November release. The film focuses on the Battle of Rezang La during the Indo-China war. Raashii Khanna has officially signed on to star opposite Farhan Akhtar in the upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur, which is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Indo-China War. The film, directed by Shiv Rawail, is centred on the legendary Battle of Rezang La and will see Farhan essaying the role of Major Shaitan Singh, the heroic officer who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra. Sources close to the project confirmed to Hindustan Times that the actress came on board after impressing the filmmakers with her recent performances. 'Raashii has proved herself with The Sabarmati Report and Yodha, two completely different films and characters. The makers of 120 Bahadur felt that she would be able to hold her ground in a story which is so patriotic and hard-hitting, and bring added depth," said a source close to the production to the media house. While details about her character remain tightly guarded, her role is said to be crucial to the emotional arc of the narrative. The film is being positioned as a tribute to the valour of Indian soldiers, specifically the 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon regiment who fought under Major Singh's leadership in one of the most remembered last stands in Indian military history. Farhan Akhtar, who was last seen in Toofaan, had earlier expressed his excitement about returning to Ladakh after two decades. 'I went back to Ladakh to shoot a full-fledged film, 20 years after last filming Lakshya with Hrithik Roshan," he had told HT City. It is scheduled for release in November 2025. 120 Bahadur was shot in Ladakh in a spine chilling minus 10 degrees celsius. 'The team shot at around 14,000 feet in Ladakh, and temperatures often dipped to minus 5, even minus 10 degrees on some days," an industry source had said earlier. The source added, 'The aim was to honour the story with honesty, and Farhan really went all in — physically, mentally, emotionally." Farhan, who will be seen essaying the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC), underwent a significant transformation for the film, including military-style training and acclimatisation at high altitude. '120 Bahadur"is directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios).

Kayoze Irani admits Sarzameen had loopholes but viewers forgave them; reveals what he would change in film
It has taken its sweet time but Kayoze Irani's directorial debut, Sarzameen, finally released last week. The film, starring Ibrahim Ali Khan, Kajol, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, released on JioHotstar, with some mixed reviews from the critics. In a chat with Hindustan Times, Kayoze addresses criticism, talks about appreciation, and discusses his road ahead. Sarzameen is Kayoze Irani's first feature film as director. On audience reaction vs critics' reviews Sarzameen is Kayoze's first feature film. Before this, he directed a short film as part of an anthology. Talking about its reception, the filmmaker says, "I'm extremely happy with the audience reaction to the film. I think that the (viewership) numbers are doing very well. The overall audience perception and the feedback that I've been getting are good." However, he admits that there has been a fair amount of criticism as well. "There have been some criticisms. There have been some reviews that are critical, which is fair. What is important is to learn from it and move forward, but I'm genuinely overwhelmed. I feel that if it's managed to touch a few people, I can't be happier than that," he adds. Kayoze says that he read the critical reviews first, largely to see what he did wrong. "These are reviewers whom I respect," he says, adding, "Ideally, you want every review to be five stars, and you want the box office collection to be unheard of. But this will not be my only film. There's something that I can learn from it, and I will apply that in the next one." But Kayoze returns to the film's audience feedback. A section of the audience has praised the film's theme, which he finds promising. "Are there a few loopholes in the film? Maybe! Are there a few things that could have been done differently? Maybe. But the important thing is that the film worked on a larger level, and they were forgiving of a few of the issues," says the filmmaker. On learnings and what he would do differently Sarzameen was announced in 2023 and saw delays due to injuries suffered by Kayoze as well as Prithviraj Sukumaran, one of the leads. Ask him about his biggest learning from the long-drawn process of the film's making, and he says, "I have learned that there are some things that need time, and you need to respect them. My next project, whenever it starts, I will approach it like my first film, like my debut. I will start absolutely from scratch. I learned so much from Prithvi sir and from Kajol. During this film, there were some very, very tough days. But my worst day on Sarzameen has been better than any other day." Sarzameen is a story set in Kashmir wherein the long-lost son of an Army officer returns but is radicalised now. Ibrahim plays the adult version of the son. Talking about the one thing he'd want to do differently with Sarzameen, Kayoze says, "One thing that I would have done differently with Sarzameen was bringing Ibrahim into the film a little earlier, and I would have had more of the cat-and-mouse chase before he is discovered. These are the two things I would have done differently." However, the director is quick to add that this nitpicking is just academic, and once the film is complete, he has learnt to be satisfied with it. "Now, this is, this is my best foot forward. We'll move on," he concludes. Sarzameen is currently streaming on JioHotstar.
