After the award night, Kajol interacted with the media. However, during this interaction, Kajol snapped at a reporter for asking her to repeat her statement in Hindi. Kajol was speaking in fluent Marathi to the reporters. Snapping at the media person, she said, 'Abhi main Hindi mein bolu (Now should I speak in Hindi too)?' She added, 'Jisko samjhna hai woh samjh lenge (Those who want to understand what I said, will figure it out).'
This sparked outrage on social media, with many fans criticising her. A comment read, 'Then why do you make films in Hindi?' Another comment said, 'Ask her to stop doing Hindi films. She should only do Marathi films.'

Hrithik Roshan claims 'War 2 is going to be something unmissable'
Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan believes that his upcoming action entertainer "War 2" opposite NTR will be an unmissable project for movie buffs. Hrithik revealed that the love, appreciation, and encouragement he received for playing Kabir in "War" reminded him of the love that he got for "Kaho Na Pyaar Hai", "Dhoom 2", and "Krrish". Talking about what it has been like playing Kabir yet again, Hrithik added: "And this time I'm coming back with Kabir, and it's such a joy to play that character that everyone loved so much, I hope. This time he's more intense and even more in a dilemma than he was—very, very emotional. So War 2, I think, is going to be something unmissable.' Despite a memorable experience, shooting "War 2" has been a challenging journey for Hrithik. While he had to overcome several major injuries, he believes that every bit of the pain was worth it to give the audience a movie that they can truly love. 'It was difficult (to push through and overcome pain and injury). We worked very, very hard. All the pain, all the injury while filming War 2 has been worth it. When I felt pain while I was shooting War 2, I was thinking, is all this worth it?—but when I see the love for it, of course it is worth it," the 'Super 30' actor shared. The makers plan to release "War 2" in Hindi and Telugu at Dolby Cinema sites in North America, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, along with other markets across the globe. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, "War 2" has been backed by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films, making the film a part of the Yash Raj YRF Spy Universe. Aside from Hrithik, the action entertainer will also star Kiara Advani and NTR as the lead, marking the Bollywood debut of the 'RRR' actor. "War 2" is gearing up to release in the cinema halls on August 14th in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil.

Box Office: War 2 dominates Coolie in Hindi Advance Booking; targets 5 times higher opening
War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR, is releasing in cinemas on August 14. The movie is witnessing good advance booking in its home turf against Rajinikanth starrer Coolie, which is releasing on the same day. War 2 leads advance booking in Hindi by a good margin As of 3.30 PM (August 12), the Ayan Mukerji directorial has sold over 67,000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis. On the other hand, Coolie has recorded around 14,000 admissions in Hindi PIC sales. The Hrithik-NTR film has maintained a good lead of 53,000 tickets over Coolie, which indicates a clear domination in the Hindi belt. War 2 will be the top preference for the Hindi audience this weekend, as reflected in the pre-bookings. Moreover, the YRF movie has a wide screen count in North India compared to the Tamil-origin movie, which is also benefiting it in a big way. Ideally, there is no clash between War 2 and Coolie in the Hindi regions. However, Coolie is doing well as a standalone movie. Despite a limited screen count, the dubbed movie is experiencing reasonably good advance booking, hinting at an encouraging opening. War 2 and Coolie can co-exist together; Good weekend for cinema-going audience As per current trends, Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie is likely to take the second biggest start in Hindi for a Tamil movie. It is catering to a completely different audience than War 2, which means both movies can co-exist well and make the Independence Day weekend a memorable experience for the cinemagoing audience. Talking about the opening day, War 2 is on course to debut with 5 to 6 times higher than Coolie in Hindi. Since August 14 is a non-holiday, both movies are expected to see massive jumps over the weekend, with the potential of recording their biggest business days on August 15 (Friday, National Holiday) and August 17 (Sunday). The rest will be decided by how the audience reacts to both the movies and how word-of-mouth spreads among the masses.

Made in Rs 1.5 crore, this film was made on PM's suggestion, became blockbuster, earned Rs..., Shashi Kapoor was replaced due to.. Veteran actor Manoj Kumar, one of Indian cinema's most revered figures, passed away at the age of 87 due to heart-related complications. Fondly called 'Bharat Kumar,' he became popular among audiences for his powerful performances, especially in the films based on patriotism. Today, we will discuss a cult classic film of the legendary actor-filmmaker that was inspired by Lal Bahadur Shastri's slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.' How Manoj Kumar came with idea of Upkar? Yes, we are talking about the 1967 film Upkar. It was Manoj Kumar's first film as a director and became one of his most loved works. According to reports, after Lal Bahadur Shastri attended the premier of Shaheed, he told Kumar to make a film on his slogan, 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.' Reportedly, Manoj wrote the story of Upkar while coming back to Bombay through train. Alongside Kumar, Upkar starred Asha Parekh, Prem Chopra, Pran, Kamini Kaushal and Madan Puri. The song 'Mere Desh Ki Dharti' became one of the most popular patriotic songs, and is still played during Independence and Republic Day celebrations. Rajesh Khanna and Shashi Kapoor were offered a part? According to reports, Rajesh Khanna was first approached to play Manoj Kumar's brother's role in the film. But due to prior commitments, he backed out of the film and then Prem Chopra was finalised. After that, Shashi Kapoor was asked too. The Deewar actor was ready to play the part, but Manoj replaced him as he was worried that portraying a grey-shade character might hamper his status. Upkar Box Office Collection Upon release in theatres on August 11, 1967, Upkar became a commercial and critical success. Made in a reported budget of Rs 1.5 crore, the film grossed around Rs 7 crore, becoming a silver jubilee hit. The film also earned a National Award for Second Best Feature Film and was later remade in Telugu as Padipantalu in 1976.
