Shilpa Shetty on Baazigar experience
'I had no knowledge about films at that time, and I didn't know how to approach it. I was like a student on set. I used to be very nervous back then. Because I came from a South Indian background, I never spoke in Hindi on the sets. When I did 'Aag', I asked Kader Bhai to teach me Urdu, and that's when I learned from scratch. I used to feel very nervous about dialogue deliveries. But all of it is okay because I am able to convey. People understand what I am trying to say,' she shared.
'Akbar Bhai was the action director for the film, and we shot that scene nearly five times. I had a scar on my hip for nearly 8-10 years of my life because I was asked to wear a harness. Back in those times, we did not have any VFX. So I had to act authentically to show that I was falling and the building was moving. But the makers thought that the scene could be shot better. I have died nearly 15 times,' shared the actress with a hearty laugh.

A similar story is about B-town's biggest villain, who was once a psychiatrist but then switched his profession to become an actor.

If you are wondering who this actor is, then we are talking about none other than Mohan Agashe. Who Is Mohan Agashe? Born on July 23, 1947, Mohan hailed from a small town in Maharashtra. He was born just days before India's independence. From his early days, he was very good at his studies. Mohan also showed interest in writing. He completed his primary and higher education in Pune, where he obtained an MBBS degree from BJ Medical College. At that time, getting an MBBS degree was a big deal.

Mahavatar Narsimha Review: Hombale's animated feature has heart and ambition but sluggish storytelling and graphic violence play spoilsport
Plot Mahavatar Narsimha revolves around the demon king Hiranyakashyap, who seeks revenge against Lord Vishnu. He declares himself a god after Lord Brahma makes him the most powerful man in the world. Lord Brahma gives him the privilege of being the most powerful man because no one in the world has done more tapascharya than him. Once he becomes the most powerful man, his demonic acts result in chaos and unrest. Hiranyakashyap's son Prahlad, grows to be a devotee of Vishnu. Prahlad's faith in the divine, convinces Lord Vishnu to become Mahavatar Narsimha (Half man and half lion), to confront Hiranyakashyap, defeat evil, and restore balance. Will Prahlad's faith in the divine pay off? Will Lord Vishnu as Mahavatar Narsimha, defeat the most powerful man in the world, Hiranyakashyap? If yes, how? Watch Mahavatar Narsimha to find out. What Works for Mahavatar Narasimha The ambition of Mahavatar Narsimha is commendable. Launching a cinematic universe rooted in Indian mythology, with a bold vision to bring ancient stories to modern audiences is no small feat. The visuals are generally vibrant and imaginative. The detailing is impeccable. Every character is very well designed. Its release in multiple Indian languages like Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and also international languages, reflects an earnest effort to reach diverse audiences. This makes Mahavatar Narsimha a noteworthy attempt of combining computer animation with ambitious storytelling. What Doesn't Work for Mahavatar Narsimha Mahavatar Narsimha's execution falters significantly. The runtime that stretches over two hours and fifteen minutes, feels excessively long. The first half drags due to sluggish pacing and repetitive sequences. The second half is more engaging, but can't fully salvage the earlier slog. The storytelling, while ambitious, lacks polish. The visuals, though mostly vibrant, sometimes appear grainy and unclarity, consequently diminishing the overall experience. The most troubling part about Mahavatar Narsimha is its graphic violent scenes that you wouldn't want your children to see. These moments feel jarring and mis-aligned with the film's intended audience, limiting its family-friendly appeal. Watch the Mahavatar Narsimha Trailer Voice Performances and Animation in Mahavatar Narsimha The voice performances in Mahavatar Narsimha are workable to good. The songs sound nice but they act as roadblocks, slowing the film down considerably. The animation shines in its vibrant character designs and dynamic battle sequences, but grainy visuals and lack of clarity undermine its impact. Final Verdict of Mahavatar Narsimha Mahavatar Narsimha is an aspirational but flawed tribute to Indian mythology. The noble intentions, vibrant animation, cultural reverence and truthful storytelling, are marred by a slow first half, unpolished storytelling, grainy visuals, and graphic violence that's unsuitable for children. You can watch Hombale 's Mahavatar Narsimha in theatres from 25th July, 2025. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such reviews.

‘Munna Bhai MBBS': Vidhu Vinod Chopra reveals how South distributor's rejection led to unexpected success: 'Nobody outside of Mumbai...'
Vidhu Vinod Chopra revealed that 'Munna Bhai MBBS' faced South Indian distributor rejection due to its Mumbai dialect. Despite no initial audience, a single Chennai screening earned over Rs 1 crore. Chopra believes good work overrides marketing, citing 12th Fail's success despite a modest budget and early OTT release. Vidhu Vinod Chopra stands out not only as an experienced director but also as a highly successful Hindi film producer. His keen instincts have guided him to support notable movies like 'Parineeta' by Pradeep Sarkar, along with Rajkumar Hirani 's acclaimed works including the ' Munna Bhai' series, '3 Idiots', 'PK', and 'Sanju'. The Initial Rejection of 'Munna Bhai MBBS' In a recent conversation with SCREEN, the producer shared that 'Munna Bhai MBBS' initially faced rejection from distributors in South India. He recalled that the film premiered to almost empty theaters and became his biggest financial success, specifically because it was not sold beyond Mumbai at first. Distributor's Doubts and Chopra's Offer Chopra told an experience with a South Indian distributor who had purchased 'Munna Bhai' for Rs 11 lakh. The distributor came to collect the film four days before its release, but after watching it, he expressed his doubts: 'Sir, this film won't work even for a day. Nobody outside of Mumbai would get the language of Munna Bhai,' said Chopra. Unexpected Success in Chennai The filmmaker shared that he had once offered to refund the Rs 5 lakh advance paid by a South Indian distributor, but the distributor preferred to retain it as a guarantee for Chopra's next project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo Chopra explained, 'The bottom line is I had no distributor for South India. I had friends — Shyam Shroff and Bala Shroff — who had a company". He revealed that there was a cinema there, and he got just one morning show at 11 am in Chennai. He sold his print there for Rs 5 lakh. His final business from that one centre was in Rs 1 crore plus. The Power of Good Work Over Marketing He noted that no one attended the film on the first or second day. However, he believes that good work eventually pays off. He explained that he is not against marketing but does not prioritize it because he trusts that people will discover a good film on their own. He cited '12th Fail' as an example, mentioning that it started with a modest budget of Rs 10-30 lakh and ran for seven months in cinemas despite being available on OTT platforms like Hotstar just two months after its release, yet audiences still chose to watch it in theaters.
