Amitabh Bachchan called me during lockdown, says Radhika Madan: ‘Main behosh hogayi thi'

Amitabh Bachchan is known not only for his legendary career but also for being a generous supporter of fellow actors. One such heartwarming gesture came when he personally praised Radhika Madan for her performance in Angrezi Medium (2020). In a recent vlog hosted by Farah Khan, Radhika shared how the megastar sent her a handwritten letter and even called her in his iconic Kaun Banega Crorepati style. While giving a tour of her home, Radhika proudly showed Farah her collection of awards. Farah's eyes immediately landed on the framed letter from Amitabh Bachchan, prompting her to ask, 'Amit ji sent you a letter?' Beaming, Radhika replied, 'Amitabh Bachchan sent me this letter after watching Angrezi Medium.' 'You must have died, no?' Farah asked with dramatic flair. 'I completely lost it,' Radhika laughed. 'Main toh behosh ho gayi thi (I fainted)!' As Farah read through the letter, where Big B praised Radhika's acting, she jokingly protested, 'Amitabh sir, you have never written to me. Please, koi toh letter bhej do (send me one too)!' Radhika then shared another unforgettable moment. 'I got a call during the lockdown. I picked up and heard, 'Hi, main Amitabh Bachchan bol raha hoon.' For a second, it felt like I was on Kaun Banega Crorepati!' The mood lightened further when Farah turned to her staff member Dilip and teased, 'Look, Amitabh Bachchan wrote to her. Have you ever received a letter?' Dilip chuckled, 'No ma'am, even my wife doesn't write to me.' The conversation then moved to Radhika's love life. Farah asked, 'Are you crazy in love types?' To which Radhika replied with a laugh, 'I'm nas kata pyaar.' The dramatic statement had Farah visibly alarmed, exclaiming, 'Why is everyone obsessed with cutting nerves these days?'

Watch Radhika explained that she's old-school when it comes to love. 'I still believe in writing letters,' she said. 'So you're a Raanjhanaa type of girl?' Farah asked. Radhika quickly disagreed, 'No, more like Veer Zaara.' When asked if she's a Shah Rukh Khan fan, Radhika said without hesitation, 'Of course, I am!' Then, channeling Salman Khan, she ran her thumb under her nose and added playfully, 'But I'm also a Bhai fan.' Farah offered an observation, 'Salman's films have always worked best when he's paired with a very Indian, sanskari kind of girl–like in Maine Pyaar Kiya and Tere Naam. That combo just works.' Radhika nodded enthusiastically, 'I love Bhai. Bhai is…' Before she could finish, Farah interjected, 'Can you not call him Bhai? Just say SK.' Radhika folded her hands in mock reverence, 'Salman sir.'

What was Sandeep Reddy Vanga's biggest regret for Ranbir Kapoor's Animal? Director says 'I came under pressure...'

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal may have broken several box office records after its release, but director Sandeep Reddy Vanga still has some regrets. The film, which also starred Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles, went on to become one of the most talked-about films of 2023. But in a recent interview, the director confessed regretting its final cut, which he had to make just a week before the theatrical release. Sandeep Reddy Vanga on editing Animal's final cut During a candid chat with Vijay Deverakonda and the director of his upcoming film Kingdom, Gowtam Tinnanuri, Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed that he was pressurized into trimming Animal's runtime. It was just days before the Ranbir Kapoor starrer's theatrical release, and he continues to feel the loss of the moments that did not make it to the big screen. Talking about the entire process, Vanga revealed that the first cut of Animal was 3 hours and 45 minutes long. Later, the next cut, which he found satisfactory, was 3 hours and 30 minutes. But he came under pressure 7 days before the release, and had to edit out 7 minutes. While the theatrical release of Animal is over 3 hours, Sandeep revealed that after watching the film in theaters for a week, he realized what he had sacrificed in the final few moments that he had to cut. 'It was a good cut, but I regret it.' Sandeep Reddy Vanga also went on to add that when Animal was about to be released on OTT, he wanted to add the 7 edited minutes in the Netflix version. 'Even if I didn't finish it in 3.45, I finished it in 3.30. But when the film was released on the OTT platform, it was exactly the same length as its theatrical release.' Animal became a topic of discussion after its release. The film went on to become a turning point for all the actors, including Triptii Dimri, who played a small role. Well, now, the director is working on its sequel Animal Park, and we bet fans cannot wait for more updates.
