Siddharth Anand drops a hilarious tweet amid 'Tara Rum Pum' comparisons to Brad Pitt's 'F1'
And now when Hollywood icon Brad Pitt's film 'F1' is doing wonders at the box office, Indian fans have surprisingly created memes, joking about how the international film is inspired by Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji-starrer 'Tara Rum Pum'.
Seems like those memes caught Siddharth's attention as he on Tuesday dropped a post, calling 'Tara Rum Pum' a 'lovely beast.'
'Tara Rum Pum' follows the story of a race car driver, RV (Saif), and his wife Radhika (Rani), as they face life's highs and lows with their two children.
Meanwhile, Siddharth is currently busy shooting for 'King', which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan among others.
'King' was supposed to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh earlier. However, Siddharth Anand, who directed SRK in 'Pathaan', later took over as the director.
A few months ago, at an event in Dubai, SRK opened up about King, saying, 'I'm not just shooting it here, I'm shooting it in Mumbai now when I go back in a couple of months. My director, who is Sidharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan. So he is very strict. He said, 'Don't tell people about the film, what you are doing in it.' So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun. I've used many titles...Now we have run out of titles...Now Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan in King. That was a bit of a show-off.'
The film went on floors in Mumbai recently. (ANI)

The Traitors India prize money: How much did Uorfi & Nikita win in finale?
Season 1 of The Traitors India, hosted by Karan Johar, has officially concluded. The intense psychological reality show ended with Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther being crowned the joint winners after a gripping final episode that saw the elimination of fellow innocent Sudhanshu Pandey, alongside traitors Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha. The finale kicked off with the elimination of Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid. Soon after, Harsh and Purav orchestrated the 'murder' of Jasmin Bhasin within the game. The final five contestants included Uorfi, Nikita, Sudhanshu, Purav, and Harsh. A turning point came when Uorfi overheard a secret conversation between Purav and Harsh, which helped her accurately identify the remaining traitors. In the climactic moments, Urfi and Nikita placed their trust in each other and emerged as the last two standing. Uorfi, proud to have won as an innocent, called her victory a fitting response to those who had underestimated her. Nikita, who was previously eliminated on Day 1 but returned to the game, expressed her joy at being named co-winner. The duo celebrated their shared triumph in style. The series followed a group of contestants tasked with identifying the traitors hiding among them, while avoiding elimination themselves. The innocents worked together to spot the traitors before being 'murdered' within the structure of the game. Originally developed in the Netherlands, The Traitors has seen successful adaptations in the US and UK. The Indian edition featured 20 contestants, including celebrities like Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Jannat Zubair, Maheep Kapoor, and Ashish Vidyarthi. Prize money breakdown: ₹70 Lakh jackpot split between winners The total prize pool for The Traitors India Season 1 reached ₹70.05 lakh, which will now be divided equally between co-winners Uorfi and Nikita. Interestingly, the prize fund didn't start with a fixed amount. It gradually built up through a series of tasks completed by contestants in different episodes. Here's a breakdown of how the pot grew: Episode 2: ₹5.10 lakh added Episode 3: ₹8.55 lakh added Episode 4: A secret mission doubled the prize amount Episode 6: ₹14.40 lakh added Episodes 7 & 8: ₹5 lakh each Episode 9: ₹2 lakh added Episode 10 (Finale): ₹15 lakh added By the end of the final task, the prize fund stood at a grand total of ₹70.05 lakh.

India's first Disneyland park proposed in Manesar, says Haryana CM Saini
Haryana is planning something big for fun and tourism. Manesar could soon be home to India's first Disneyland-style theme park, promising to turn the state into a major hub for fun and tourism. The National Capital Region (NCR) could soon host India's first Disneyland amusement park, with Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announcing a 500-acre mega entertainment hub in Manesar. The project, he said, is set to become a landmark in the state's tourism and infrastructure development. The Chief Minister revealed that the site for the park has been earmarked near Pachgaon Chowk in Manesar, Gurugram district. The site is strategically situated along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway and the Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor. 'Game-changer for Haryana', says CM Saini Calling the project a 'game-changer', Saini said the park will bring widespread economic, cultural, and social benefits, not just for Haryana but for the entire country. 'Manesar's proximity to Delhi, its infrastructure, and corporate presence make it the perfect location,' he said after meeting with Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Delhi. Saini said that the objective is to leverage Haryana's connectivity and market potential to create a world-class amusement centre. 'It will generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities, develop infrastructure, and bring major changes in the surrounding areas,' he said. Gurugram, already home to several Fortune 500 companies, is a key contributor to the state's economy. The proposed Disneyland-style park will further complement the upcoming Global City project. Saini said. 'Hence, Gurugram is the most suitable location for the proposed Disneyland.' Currently, Disneyland parks operated by the Walt Disney Company are located in California and Florida in the United States, Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan), and Hong Kong. Surajkund to host more cultural events In addition to the entertainment park, the Haryana government is working on positioning the state as a major global destination for spiritual and cultural tourism. Saini shared that the state has proposed hosting three annual melas at Surajkund, expanding the scale of celebrations at the International Gita Mahotsav, and seeking financial assistance from the Centre for the same. The Surajkund Mela, already an iconic event, attracts artisans, folk performers, and artists from across India and abroad. Each year, the fair focuses on the cultural traditions of a different Indian state. 'The Surajkund Mela is not only a celebration of Indian diversity but also a key cultural event that promotes tourism,' Saini said. Haryana eyes spiritual tourism boost To further enrich this platform, the government also plans to organise a Diwali Mela and a Book Fair at Surajkund. 'This initiative will provide an excellent platform for artisans, artists, and folk performers from local, state, national, and international levels to showcase their talent,' he said. Highlighting the significance of the International Gita Mahotsav, the chief minister said it offers a strong opportunity to brand Haryana as a spiritual tourism hub. 'To establish Haryana as a key pilgrimage destination globally, we need active support from the Union Tourism Ministry,' he said, requesting the Centre's help in organising the Mahotsav on a much grander scale.

Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par collects Rs 132 crore in 2 weeks, Aamir Khan starrer aims at Rs 160 crore finish in India
Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan in the lead alongside an ensemble cast of specially challenged real-life individuals, has completed its two-week run at the box office. The movie, directed by RS Prasanna, not only won the audience's love but also emerged as a Clean Hit venture. Sitaare Zameen Par collects Rs 132 crore net in 14 days in India Bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par debuted with an impressive Rs 87.50 crore net in its opening week. It stormed past the Rs 100 crore mark on its second Saturday (Day 9) and wrapped its second weekend by adding Rs 32.50 crore net to the tally. The movie experienced a significant drop on weekdays as it lost major screens to new releases, including Maa and F1 (Formula One). It netted just Rs 12 crore from the second Monday to the second Thursday, ending the second week at Rs 44.50 crore net. With its impressive opening week and a decent second week, the total two-week cume of Sitaare Zameen Par now stands at Rs 132 crore net at the Indian box office. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Sitaare Zameen Par Are As Under Particulars India Net Collection Week 1 Rs 87.50 crore 2nd Friday Rs 6.50 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 12.25 crore 2nd Sunday Rs 13.75 crore 2nd Monday Rs 3.50 crore 2nd Tuesday Rs 3.50 crore 2nd Wednesday Rs 2.50 crore 2nd Thursday Rs 2.50 crore Total Rs 132 crore net in 14 days Sitaare Zameen Par targets Rs 160 crore finish Co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, the sports drama should aim for an encouraging jump on the third weekend. However, the movie is facing two new releases this weekend as Metro…In Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth arrived in cinemas. Since Aamir Khan is in no mood to bring the movie on OTT platforms anytime soon, Sitaare Zameen Par will continue to stick in cinemas for the long run. This move can eventually benefit the film and take its lifetime earnings to an expected figure of Rs 160 crore net in India. Though it is not a reasonable figure for an Aamir Khan starrer, one must note that Sitaare Zameen Par has a moderate production cost. Moreover, the movie hit the cinemas against all odds despite the genre being considered almost dead in the post-pandemic era. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more.
