Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol recently made the headlines as they appeared together in the Bollywood movie Sarzameen. As the movie premiered on JioHotstar, the Kaduva actor compared his co-star to Malayalee superstar Mohanlal. What made Prithviraj consider Kajol and Mohanlal to be similar? Talking with Bollywood Bubble, Prithviraj Sukumaran said, 'Kajol is wonderful, she's a truly gifted artist. And, she is an instinctive actor. The greatest thing about collaborating with such actors is that they make the pitch for your character unpredictable.' 'It's not like you have rehearsed with them a couple of times. It also happens with Mohanlal sir. He's very instinctive as an actor. If we do 5 takes with him, each take will be different from the others. Kajol is a lot like him. She truly believes in being instinctive about her performance pitch,' he added. Prithviraj's team hits back against false rumors In recent times, reports suggested that Prithviraj claimed Lucifer 3 would be the biggest action venture in Indian cinema, even including underwater action sequences. However, the actor's team, Poffactio, has hit back against these rumors, clearing the air. The team has also criticized news portals for spreading false claims and said, 'We express our disappointment in major channels for spreading false news claiming that Prithviraj Sukumaran made statements about the L3 movie. These reports are entirely untrue.' 'It appears this misinformation originated from a fake profile ID as part of a hate campaign. We request all channels to cross-check facts before reporting and to republish corrected news to clarify the truth to the public and Prithviraj's well-wishers,' the post read. Here's the official post: About Sarzameen Sarzameen is a Hindi-language movie starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in leading roles.

Sarzameen ending and twist explained: Did Harman murder his parents? Meher's shocking past revealed
Sarzameen ending and twist explained: Sarzameen, the newly released patriotic drama on JioHotstar, features powerful performances by Kajol, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Set against the intense backdrop of national duty and personal sacrifice, the film weaves together emotional depth and gripping action. Though the movie has received mixed reactions from audiences, its dramatic climax and touching post-credits scene have left many viewers curious. If you're looking to understand how it all ends, here's a detailed breakdown of Sarzameen's ending and final twist. (Spoilers ahead, you know what to do) Sarzameen ending and twist explained How did Harman come back? Harman becomes close to a neighborhood boy, Shoaib, who is secretly part of a terrorist network. During a wedding celebration, Harman is abducted, and the terrorists demand that Vijay release two brothers held for their suspected involvement in violent activities. Though Meher pleads with him, Vijay ultimately refuses, choosing national duty over family. Years later, during a rescue mission at a terrorist hideout, the army discovers a group of captives including a now adult and unrecognisable Harman. While Meher is overjoyed by his return, Vijay remains skeptical and suspects he's an imposter. Despite a DNA test confirming his identity, Vijay's doubts prove justified, Harman has been brainwashed by Kabil, a terrorist who filled the role of a father figure and turned him against his homeland. #Sarzameen had a solid premise but failed to deliver. Weak screenplay and direction let it down. Prithvi, Kajol & the rest of the cast did well, but there was no real emotional connect. Overall, a mid watch with no standout Did Harman kill his parents? In a tense cabin meeting, Harman confronts Vijay with a gun, but Meher is accidentally shot during the altercation (they don't die then though). Devastated, Harman flees, burdened by guilt. Meanwhile, Kabil and Harman plan an attack on senior army officials, but their plan fails thanks to intel leaked by an unknown source. The Indian army thwarts the attack and later learns of another threat: a bomb set to go off at a dam inauguration. What was Meher's past? The biggest twist unfolds - Meher is revealed to be a covert Indian spy who had infiltrated enemy territory years ago and was the one leaking vital intel. In a final confrontation, Harman, driven by resentment, activates the bomb. Vijay pleads with him and manages to reach him emotionally. While Harman struggles to deactivate the bomb, Meher tortures Kabil for the code but is fatally wounded. She kills Kabil and sends the code to Vijay before dying. Just as Vijay and Harman try to stop the bomb, Shoaib appears and shoots them. Despite his injuries, Harman kills Shoaib and disarms the bomb in the nick of time, saving his father and countless lives. Sarzameen post-credits scene - Did Meher die? In the post-credits scene, we see both the father and son performing Meher's last rites, crying uncontrollably. Yes, while saving her son and husband, Meher took her final breath.

Smriti Irani Recalls Showing Hospital Reports To Prove Her Miscarriage To Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Makers
New Delhi: Smriti Irani never shies away from talking about personal and professional struggles. Recently, the actress-turned-politician spoke openly about the challenges she faced during her time on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and her talk show Kuch Dil Se. During her appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, Smriti Irani revealed that she returned to work just three days after giving birth to her son. 'My son was three days old when I came back to the set of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Why? Because everyone wanted to watch a new episode daily at 10:30 pm,' she shared. Smriti Irani also shared that she continued shooting even after a miscarriage. Producer Ravi Chopra gave her a week off during that tough time, but given the daily format of the show, Ektaa Kapoor could not allow leaves. Smriti recalled, 'Somebody in the production went and told Ektaa, 'We're ready to shoot. But Smriti Irani isn't available. She is lying. Nothing has actually happened to her.' So I had to go back with my hospital reports to prove it actually happened.' Smriti, who was one of the highest-paid TV actors at the time, also opened up about being replaced while she was in the hospital after giving birth. She was working on Kuch Dil Se, a daily talk show for SAB TV, and had filmed enough episodes to cover her one-month leave. 'I was working with somebody till the last day of the ninth month. It was a daily talk show, Kuch Dil Se. I was told to record a bank of worth 30 days and come back to work after 30 days,' she said. Despite warnings from her doctors and family, she continued shooting for both shows to repay her home loan faster. Then came the blow. 'I'm in the hospital after giving birth to my baby, and I get a wire: 'You're fired.' And I'd just shot (for the talk show) a day before. They were just waiting for me to get into the hospital to tell me I'm fired. They'd already made a bank so they could replace me. Their intention was to use my hard work in favour of my replacement,' Smriti said. Her reaction? Calm. 'They hired a film actor for it. Their exhibit was much bigger, they were a bigger name. And the show shut down. It never started again,' the star said Now, years later, Smriti Irani is all set to appear on the TV screen with the reprised version of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Starting July 29, the show will air on StarPlus. Fans can also catch it on JioHotstar.
