.' Known for his discerning eye and memorable performances, Rao was all praise for Ananya's portrayal of Dilreet Gill, a key character in the film that explores the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Speaking about Ananya's work, Gajraj Rao said that she is 'kahin bhi kamzor nahi' – meaning there wasn't a single moment where her performance felt weak. Coming from an actor of his stature, the compliment carries weight and signals how far Ananya has come as an artist. Rao's words reflect not just encouragement but genuine admiration for her commitment and growth.
In 'Kesari Chapter 2,' directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Ananya steps into a challenging role quite different from her earlier work. The film, which features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan, required its actors to bring authenticity and emotional depth to a story rooted in a painful chapter of Indian history. According to Gajraj Rao, Ananya rose to the occasion and delivered a performance that adds significant value to the narrative.

Made on a tenth of its budget, this mythological film faced off against Sholay's tsunami; lead actor observed ‘vrat' during filming
This week marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most celebrated films of Indian cinema of all time – Sholay. Starring some of the biggest names of Indian cinema of the 1970s, Sholay became an iconic film for Bollywood, so much so that even 50 years later, the film is studied in many film schools around the world. But, back when Sholay released in 1975, box office collections of a film's first weekend didn't lock its fate. And in the case of Sholay, the money started trickling in a little later but even when it did and Sholay's tsunami took over Indian cinemas, there was one film that stood its ground. It was the unassuming Jai Santoshi Maa that was made at 1/10th of Sholay's budget, and ended up stealing Sholay's thunder, at least at the time of its release. In very simple terms, Jai Santoshi Maa was to Sholay was Mahavatar Narsimha was to Saiyaara. Made at a much lesser budget, the film managed to pull in crowds even while the entire world was queuing up for the mainstream Bollywood film. Like Mahavatar Narsimha, Jai Santoshi Maa was a mythological film filled with religious songs, a story that sounded like a folk tale requiring a ton of suspension of disbelief and some age-old bhakti that swayed the masses in a way that they would take off their footwear outside the cinema halls. Watching Jai Santoshi Maa wasn't just about going to the movies anymore, it was a holy activity. ALSO READ | Abused by mother, Bollywood's biggest child star would be denied food after slaving all day, danced for money on stage; no one from Bollywood attended her funeral As per a report by India Today, Jai Santoshi Maa was made on a modest budget of Rs 30 lakh (over the years, many have reported the budget to be anywhere from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 30 lakh), as opposed to Sholay's massive budget of Rs 3 crore. The film was produced by a lesser-known producer named Satram Rohra, who had just made a few Sindhi films until then while makers of Sholay had delivered hits like Seeta Aur Geeta, Haathi Mere Saathi, Andaz, among others. The star cast of the film included Bharat Bhushan who had tasted stardom in the 1950s with films like Baiju Bawra, Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Mirza Ghalib, but had fallen off Bollywood's star wagon by the 1970s. The film also starred Anita Guha, who had appeared in smaller roles in films like Aradhana, Anuraag, Nagin; and Kanan Kaushal. The names on the poster of Sholay were enough to pull people in but that wasn't the case with Jai Santoshi Maa, and many at the time believed that the film was blessed by the divine since it was actually competing with an A-list star vehicle. Anita Guha, in a chat with Rediff in 2006, shared that when she started shooting for the film, she accidentally did not eat or drink anything through the day. When the day's shoot went well, she decided to continue fasting until she finished the film. 'I still remember the first day of shooting. I hadn't eaten breakfast, assuming I would eat something after arriving at the sets. But, as the day went by, I was so busy that I completely forgot to eat. The director asked me to have a bite, but I couldn't because I was in costume. I decided to eat after the shot. When we finished, I realised I had not eaten the entire day. From that point, every time I played the character, I would fast,' she shared. Unlike Sholay, Jai Santoshi Maa addressed a different crowd and experts at the time noted that a major chunk of this film's audience was women. Even in 2025, it is largely accepted that men make up a bigger percentage of the cinema-going audience, which eventually influences the kind of films that are successful, and affects the kind of films that are green-lit by the studios. Back in 1975, the idea of women getting out of the house to catch the latest film was strictly restricted to tiny urban centers. But when Jai Santoshi Maa released, that culture saw a significant shift as believers of the goddess, mainly women, started attending the shows with their children. Film analyst Dilip Thakur, in an earlier chat with The Times of India, shared that separate shows would be organised for women and children on Saturdays. It honestly sounds like a religious concert in a theatre, and women were inf or it. 'Amid the craze of Sholay, the only film to stand its ground was Jai Santoshi Maa,' he said. While Jai Santoshi Maa had a good run at the time of its release, the film was eventually forgotten. 50 years later, as the world celebrates Sholay's grand anniversary, Jai Santoshi Maa's biggest claim to fame is that it was once ranked second to the most successful film that Indian cinema had ever seen.

Love in the time of Gabbar: A real-life romance born on Sholay set; neither Dharmendra-Hema Malini, nor Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bahaduri
Whenever we speak of Sholay, the conversations usually orbit around the cinematic grandeur of Ramesh Sippy's vision, the sheer grit it took to bring the film to life, or the now-legendary fact that it was declared a flop in its first three days before becoming one of Indian cinema's greatest blockbusters. We recall the wit of Salim–Javed, who predicted the film's longevity with uncanny accuracy. We retell the on-set gossip — Sanjeev Kumar's heartbreak over losing Hema Malini to Dharmendra, Dharmendra and Hema's blooming romance, and the quiet love between Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri. But tucked away in the dusty lanes of Ramanagara — the rocky hamlet transformed into the fictional Ramgarh — lies another love story. One that never made it to the silver screen, yet bloomed right alongside the making of this cinematic giant. Ramanagara itself has a history. Before it became synonymous with Sholay, it had been renamed several times, carrying with it the memories of changing rulers and eras. When the film crew from Mumbai arrived in the early 1970s, they travelled in bullock carts, surveying the land for the perfect setting. Over the next two years, they built not just sets but a world — one where villagers and film folk mingled, where Bollywood's magic seeped into everyday life. And in that mingling, two lives quietly intertwined. Shankar Gowda, a young man from Karnataka's Humnabad, was part of the Sholay crew. His responsibility was to manage the set and the resources that kept the sprawling production alive. Shantha Gowda was a local schoolgirl, curious about the constant bustle, the strangers from Mumbai, and the magic of a film shoot. She would come by to watch, never imagining that these visits would change the course of her life. ALSO READ | Sholay actor's father was killed in the World War 2, she walked 900 kms to escape same fate; mother had a miscarriage and brother died of smallpox Shankar noticed her. Conversations began and affection followed. Soon, they both knew they wanted to marry — but like in Sholay, where Veeru couldn't win Basanti without Mausi's blessing, Shankar couldn't take Shantha's hand without her mother's consent. 'I was studying at that time when I met Shankar. We developed feelings for each other. He proposed to me, but how could we take any decision without the permission of our parents? So I told Shankar to come home and speak to my mother. And he did.' One day, Shankar arrived at Shantha's home with a couple of his friends from the crew. Polite, respectful, and earnest, he asked her mother for her hand. Like any traditional matriarch (or Sholay's Mausi), she had questions — about his family, his background, job stability. Learning that he too was from Karnataka and held steady work, she agreed. And so, in a poetic twist of fate, they built a mandapa for their wedding right there — on the Sholay set. In the shadow of the rocky hills and in the presence of villagers and crew, Shankar and Shantha tied the knot. 'Our marriage was more like love-cum-arranged marriage. I completed my SSLC (10th grade). I must have been 16 when I got married. Shankar was 20 at that time. Even after our marriage, we stayed in Ramanagara for 2 years. Later, due to his work in the film line, we moved to Mumbai and now it has been over 40 years since we have been living here,' recalled Shantha. Over the decades, the couple's love weathered everything life threw at them. They raised five children — three daughters and two sons — all of whom are now married, giving them a bustling family of over 20, with grandchildren in school. 'They are all married today. I even have grandchildren now. We are now a family of over 20 people. My grandsons are in 12th and 8th grade', she exclaimed. ALSO READ | 50 years of Sholay: Mausi, Radha, Basanti and the stalled progress of the Hindi film heroine But their journey wasn't without hardship. Years ago, Shankar suffered paralysis, forcing him to leave work. 'It was a hard time,' Shantha admits. 'But with medication, he slowly began to walk again. Today, we are just grateful to see him up and moving. We're old now… life has slowed, but we are together.' Every year, they return to Ramanagara with the entire family, staying at Shantha's late mother's home. 'My mother is gone, but her house still stands. We go, we stay, we remember.' As we spoke, we asked her if she has photographs from the wedding — the moment when two real lives merged on a fictional set. She sighed. 'We had them… but they were at my mother's house, and over time, they were lost or misplaced. I do have a picture of Shankar from his Sholay days, though. The wedding pictures… maybe they're still somewhere in Ramanagara.' Some love stories are captured in frames. Others live in memory. While Sholay gave us Jai, Veeru, Basanti, and Gabbar… in the hills of Ramanagara, it also gave us Shankar and Shantha.
