Special Ops 2 actor says his debut was better than Ranbir's: They favour star-kids
Muzammil recalled how even though he was not a star kid, after his debut he was praised as India's "next superstar." The 'Special Ops Season 2' actor said, "People had started saying that India has got its next superstar at that point of time. I am not saying it.""I feel even now, they know that I am deserving. They also know that I am a threat to the guys who are the A-listers and they watch out for their own assets a lot. They will have me removed from a parallel lead. They have done that in the past," he went on.Earlier, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan for his YouTube channel, Muzammil had revealed about director Pooja Bhatt's abusive behaviour during the shoot of 'Dhokha'.Muzammil was last seen as RAW agent Avinash in 'Special Ops Season 2'.

Once A Sex Worker And Bar Dancer Earning Rs 3K Per Night, Now A Top Name In Bollywood
You've probably seen films such as Kalyug (2005), Woh Lamhe (2006), Awarapan (2007), Dhokha (2007), Raaz - The Mystery Continues (2009), Murder 2 (2011), and Jannat 2 (2012), each offering compelling narratives and impressive cinematic execution. While the actors, directors, and singers may be well known to audiences, the real creative force behind these films was someone else entirely. The defining strength of these works lies in their writing, crafted by the exceptionally talented Shagufta Rafique. Not only did she write the screenplays, but she also took charge of dialogue and occasionally direction. However, Shagufta Rafique's own life story is as powerful, if not more so, than the scripts she has penned. Her journey has been marked by deep emotional turmoil and unimaginable hardship. It was filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt who recognised her talent and brought her into the Bollywood film industry, giving her a crucial opportunity. In 2006, she wrote Woh Lamhe, her first major project, and went on to deliver several box office hits. Shagufta Rafique's personal life has been fraught with challenges. To this day, she remains unaware of her biological mother's identity. She was raised by the actress Anwari Begum. Some speculate she may have been Anwari's granddaughter, while others believe she was a foundling. The truth about her parentage remains a mystery. Owing to severe poverty, Shagufta Rafique was driven into the sex trade and began dancing at private gatherings. In an interview with Filmfare, she revealed that those parties had a brothel-like atmosphere where even respectable men would accompany other women. This happened when Shagufta Rafique was just 17 years old. Besides sex work, she also worked as a bar dancer in Dubai. In another Filmfare interview, she mentioned earning Rs 3,000 per night from that job. Acting on someone's advice, she reached Dubai and became a bar dancer. Shagufta Rafique experienced love for the first time during her time as a bar dancer in Dubai, where she entertained men through singing, dancing, and performance. It was there that she met a 45-year-old man who, after watching her dance, showered her with money. They eventually fell in love, though the relationship did not lead to marriage. In 2002, Shagufta Rafique met Mahesh Bhatt, who gave her the chance to write. In 2006, she contributed scenes to Mohit Suri's Kalyug and later went on to write Woh Lamhe, Murder 2, and Aashiqui 2.
