Addressing comparisons with Hrithik Roshan following the release of their chart-topping song 'Janaab-e-aali," Jr NTR urged fans to avoid viewing their performances as a rivalry. He said, 'Such comparisons can mislead fans. I think two good dancers complemented each other – it wasn't a face-off as it is being projected.

On the filming experience

I still remember the first hug he gave me with open arms when we met on set. The warmth was unmatched, and it made my maiden Hindi film journey so much easier," Jr NTR recalled.

Kajol was once asked to remove clothes in front of everyone by her cousin brother, Ajay Devgn was also there, the film is... In Hindi films, intense family dramas are a common theme. From sibling rivalries to placing loved ones in distressing situations, the narratives are often build up to heighten the drama. Yet, these on-screen moments can be challenging especially when the actors involved share a close bond off-screen, making the performances more intense. One such moment occurred in 1995 in the action film Gundaraj , when Kajol and Mohnish Bahl portrayed characters entangled in a harrowing plot twist. How is Kajol related to Mohnish Bahl? Kajol, known for her captivating screen presence and versatile performances, comes from a renowned film family. Her mother, Tanuja, was a prolific actress, whereas her father, Shomu Mukherjee was a producer-director. Her cousin- Mohnish Bahl, often seen portraying impactful roles, is son of legendary actress Nutan and Rajneesh Bahl. Kajol's most challenging on-screen moment In 1995, action film Gundaraj released, in which Mohnish Bahl portrayed antagonist opposite Ajay Devgan and Kajol. The climax of the film featured a disturbing sequence in which Bahl's character, after holding Ajay Devgn's character hostage, forces Kajol's character to take off her clothes in public. While intended to intensify the dramatic tension, the scene was quite difficult for the actors, especially as Kajol and Mohnish are related off-screen. Despite such an intense scene, they both handled the moment with utmost professionalism, keeping personal relationship separate from artistic demands. Interestingly, Ajay Devgn who was playing lead in the film, later become Kajol's husband in 1999, further strengthening familial bond between the co-stars. Gundaraj marks the only film where, Kajol, Mohnish Bahl, and Ajay Devgan collaborated. After that, the trio didn't star in any further projects.

Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 19: Ashwin Kumar's movie inches closer to ₹180 crore domestically
Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Collection Day 19: Animated mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha, released on July 25, is all set to hit the ₹ 180 crore mark at the domestic box office. The Ashwin Kumar directorial, which saw a rather dud opening at the box office, has witnessed a spectacular growth in three weeks, setting new benchmarks for Indian animation. The Sandalwood film, portraying powerful tales of Lord Vishnu's third and fourth avatars, has emerged as the highest-grossing Indian animated movie. Hombale Films co-founder, Chaluve Gowda, in an interview with Hindustan Times, said, 'When we get this kind of reception, it proves that Indian films have an audience. And even for Disney movies, the artists are all Indians.' 'Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone just had to take that risk and prove that in India, Indian animation movies will also work,' he added. Mahavatar Narsimha was released in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam in 2D and 3D formats. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Mahavatar Narsimha hit a slowdown as it entered its third work week, from a 77.66% fall in earnings on Monday, to minting just ₹ 1.92 crore on Tuesday. However, Mahavatar Narsimha's 19-day total stands at an impressive ₹ 176.83 crore, which is very near to the ₹ 180 crore milestone. If the movie is able to maintain its momentum, it will likely reach the milestone by tomorrow, Wednesday. Notably, Mahavatar Narsimha's Tuesday earnings are only an early estimate. The number will be revised after taking the evening and night shows in account. Mahavatar Narsimha has also done wonders at the global box office. The Kannada movie did a worldwide business of ₹ 221.25 crore gross in 18 days, grossing ₹ 13.1 crore from the overseas market. Mahavatar Narsimha's India gross stands at ₹ 208.15 crore. Chaluve Gowda told LiveMint that the second instalment of the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe will likely be released by 2027. 'The next chapter will certainly come faster. Ashwin Kumar is already deep in development, and I can assure fans that Chapter Two will be coming within two years,' he said.
