Amitabh Bachchan Pens A Note As Abhishek Bachchan Wins Praise For New Film: 'Mountains Of Pride...'
Amitabh Bachchan expresses pride as Abhishek Bachchan earns praise for Kaalidhar Laapata.
Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan is beaming with pride as his son, Abhishek Bachchan, garners appreciation for his performance in the ZEE5 film Kaalidhar Laapata. The legendary actor took to social media to express how deeply touched he was by the praise coming Abhishek's way, especially from filmmaker Tinnu Anand.
Sharing a message from the director, Amitabh wrote, 'When someone of the eminence of dear friend and my Director, Tinnu Anand sends this, it says more than just words .. my gratitude (folded hands emoji). Sirjee, As I don't have Abhishek's number could you pls congratulate him from my side. He is absolutely brilliant in Kaalidhar Lapata. Warmth."
He also wrote, 'With the mountains of praise coming for Abhishek and the film Kaalidhar Laapata .. mountains of pride fill my heart and mind for my SON .."
Beyond social media, Big B also turned to his blog to reflect on the emotional power of family and the pitfalls of technology. In a heartfelt entry, he wrote, 'When your children are about and by your side, the World can be conquered .. When your technology is not by your side, your entire World can be destroyed .. Thank you Mr Technology – you just destroyed my dependence on you."
It's not the first time Amitabh has openly celebrated Abhishek's achievements. He often praises him on social media. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Abhishek admitted it feels strange. 'It's embarrassing. But I also realise he's 83, and this is his way of showing love. It wasn't always like this," Abhishek said.
News18 Showsha gave Kaalidhar Laapata 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'While Abhishek delivers a controlled and honest performance, his character is disappointingly underwritten. Kaalidhar's emotional evolution is barely explored. He starts lost and ends… slightly less lost, but the transformation lacks complexity or weight. The bond between KD and Ballu, though charming on the surface, doesn't build with the emotional texture it deserves."

Fahadh Faasil Reveals How Rajinikanth Made Him Fall In Love With Tamil Cinema
Fahadh Faasil has been in awe since working with his childhood hero Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan in 2024. Directed by Sudheesh Shankar, Fahadh Faasil is once again back on the big screens today with Maareesan with Vadivelu. This captivating road trip story follows an unlikely duo on a life-changing journey from Nagercoil to Coimbatore, with a stop in Tiruvannamalai. Fahadh plays a thief who sets his sights on Vadivelu's cash-filled bag, but their adventure takes an unexpected turn, transforming their lives forever. With its gentle and emotional tone, Maareesan promises to be a cinematic experience like no other. However, the journey takes an unexpected turn when Fahadh Faasil is stuck travelling with Vadivelu, whose out-of-context remarks and memory lapses lead to a series of events that alter their lives. Fahadh Faasil On His First Tamil Film Experience In a candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Fahadh Faasil recalled his first Tamil film experience, which dates back to his college days. 'The first Tamil film I watched after bunking my college class was 'Baasha,' starring Rajini sir. Every scene in the film is beautifully crafted. I especially liked the scene where Thangachi gets college admission," recalled Fahadh Faasil, fondly sharing his admiration for Rajinikanth's iconic film. 'In that scene, when he says, 'I got admission,' and his sister asks, the way Rajini sir says, 'I told the truth,' in a close-up shot, really amazed me. I was surprised by how he acted as if he was talking to the audience," he added. Fahadh Faasil also shared that he had learned Tamil through Tamil friends from Coimbatore and had enjoyed many Tamil films. Furthermore, he also opened up about working with Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan, saying, 'TJ Gnanavel approached me about playing a different role in the film Vettaiyan at the very beginning. But I chose the role of Patrick because I clicked with it after hearing the story. Since this decision was a last-minute change for TJ Gnanavel, he had to make some changes. I didn't want the story to affect me, so I went with it as written," he said. Fahadh Faasil also mentioned that in-person conversations help him decide which roles he'll take on. On the work front, Fahadh Faasil recently had his latest release, Maareesan, with Vadivelu. He has several upcoming films, including Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, Don't Trouble The Trouble, Patriot and Karate Chandran.

Sukesh Chandrashekar 'Can't Wait To Hold' Jacqueline, Promises Flats Worth Rs 1 Crore To 10 Fans
Sukesh also mentioned that Jacqueline Fernandez chooses to do songs that relate to their 'love story'. Alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar has written yet another letter to Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez from jail. In his latest declaration of love, Sukesh wrote to his 'baby girl", Jacqueline, that her new song, Dum Dum, is reminiscent of their 'love story". He thanked Jacqueline for continuously choosing projects which highlight their 'love", and in a bid to make her song a success, Sukesh has urged the actress's fans to indulge in a special task. In the new letter, exclusively obtained by News18 Showsha, Sukesh wrote, 'Even, being in the worst place in the world, my only strength, that has kept me going is 'you'….. There are many reasons when I define 'You', that's a long list, but that list's top 1 reason is 'you' never failing, surprising me and stealing my heart over and over again." Sukesh then mentioned the Dum Dum song and wrote, 'Knowingly, unknowingly, once again every line and the visual of the song 'Dum Dum' relates to 'Us', our love, and our current situation indirectly. Especially the line 'Tere Bina Nikle Hai Dum Dum', 'Saansen Hai Seene Mein Kam Kam', this so means us baby, our current situation vibe." Sukesh mentioned that while Jacqueline has no dearth of projects, she 'specifically" chooses to sign songs which 'indirectly relate" to their 'love story". Sukesh said that this 'speaks words a zillion times, the love you have for me". He added, 'As usual, the world shall call me crazy for this, but a section of the world that knows the meaning of love will understand and agree. Rest, I don't care." To prove his love for the actress, Sukesh is organising a lucky draw for her fans. Sukesh has urged the actress's fans to make Dum Dum the most viewed song of 2025. In 90 days from now, a lucky draw will be conducted in which 10 fans stand a chance to win fully-furnished 2 BHK apartments worth Rs 1 crore in any Indian city of their choosing. The alleged conman wrote, 'All you guys have to do is to make sure 'Dum Dum' song is a blockbuster and the most watched song in the next 90 Days. Ask all your friends and family to watch and comment Dum Dum on its official channel or Jackie's Page. Even Reels posted on Jackie's Insta page on Dum Dum will be counted/entitled for this Lucky Draw." Sukesh then mentioned how he longs to see Jacqueline upon his release from jail. 'Baby, you are my queen, the most beautiful woman in the world. I would do anything to make you feel happy, you know that. Can't wait to hold you in my arms. Just like in the song, your king is coming for you, I am coming to win my love back… Hardly a matter of a few more days," he wrote. He mentioned that he is counting the days till Jacqueline's birthday and cannot wait to see her. Sukesh wrote that he cannot live a second without Jacqueline, and he loves her like crazy. Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is currently lodged in Delhi's Mandoli jail in connection with the Rs 200 crore extortion case, was rumoured to be in a relationship with Jacqueline. While the actress has repeatedly denied any kind of romantic relationship with Sukesh, she is an accused in the case and has also been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate multiple times. In February 2024, Jacqueline Fernandes also accused Sukesh of using the media as a tool to defame her image. She had also alleged harassment by him and had asked the court to file a case against him. However, the actress withdrew her plea later. First Published: July 25, 2025, 16:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
