He added that 'It's become like
Salman Khan
not taking his shirt off in his film.."
He concluded that every actor's films have some signature elements that their fans adore, and actors repeat these stunts to cater to their audience. When asked how his family members deal with his on-screen image, he explained that while his wife and father are not happy with the moniker, they understand that in his profession, some things are inevitable.
'They understand that it puts food on the table. My wife and my father have problems with me getting intimate every time, but they know that these are the choices I made for longevity's sake. They might not like it, but they understand it,' he said.
Hashmi was last seen in the 2024 action thriller '
Tiger 3
' along with Salman Khan and
Katrina Kaif

Krish Jagarlamudi on 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' exit; says ‘No Rift' with Pawan Kalyan; ready to work with him again
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Director Krish Jagarlamudi has finally spoken about his much-speculated exit from 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' (HHVM), the historical action drama that starred Tollywood icon Pawan Kalyan . The filmmaker, who initially wrote and directed the ambitious project, remained silent for a long time after stepping away from the film midway. As reported by 123 Telugu, Krish addressed the rumours and firmly denied any rift or creative differences with Pawan Kalyan. He emphasized that he is open and ready to collaborate with the actor again in the future. Shared credits and a respectful silence After Krish left the project, AM Jyothi Krishna — the son of producer A.M. Rathnam — took over and completed the film. On the matter of shared credits for HHVM's direction, Krish said, 'the actual reason will be out very soon,' hinting at further clarity down the line. 01:36 Hari Hara Veera Mallu | Song - Evaradi Evaradi Despite the behind-the-scenes reshuffle, Pawan Kalyan continued to acknowledge and praise Krish during pre-release promotions, especially highlighting the strength of the story, which Krish had originally conceptualized. The mutual respect has left fans hopeful for a future project involving both the actor and the filmmaker. A filmmaker's heartfelt farewell to his vision Before HHVM's release, Krish had taken to social media with an emotional note about the film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

Not quietly.. but with purpose.. with the weight of history and passion behind every frame,' he wrote. Expressing his admiration for Pawan Kalyan, he said, 'There's a fire in him that no camera can fully capture… a kind of power that comes from purpose. His ever-burning spirit is what breathed life into HHVM. He gave it its spine, its soul, and its storm.' Krish also lauded A.M. Ratnam, calling him 'the architect behind some of Indian cinema's grand experiences' and credited both the actor and producer as the true forces behind HHVM. Ending his note, Krish called the film 'one of my most passionate battles' and a culmination of 'years of fire and faith.' Meanwhile, the Pawan Kalyan starrer is getting mostly mixed reviews from the audiences.

$100 million missing? Trump calls FireAid 'another Democrat inspired scam'; California wildfire charity funds never reach direct victims
US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on California's wildfire relief efforts, branding the high-profile FireAid benefit concert a 'total disaster' and accusing Democrats of planning and running a scam. ''FIREAID' IS A TOTAL DISASTER. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT INSPIRED SCAM. 100 MILLION DOLLARS IS MISSING. WAS SUPPOSED TO TO GO TO THE LOS ANGELES FIRE VICTIMS, FIRES THAT, WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT, WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN HAPPENED,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He also blamed Democrat California governor Gavin Newsom for refusing to release vital water reserves during the crisis. 'GOVERNOR NEWSCUM REFUSED TO RELEASE BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE MADE! I HAVE SINCE OVERRULED HIM, AND IT IS NOW RELEASED. All FEDERAL HOUSING PERMITS HAVE ALSO BEEN APPROVED, THE CITY IS YEARS LATE. GET THE FIRE VICTIMS THEIR APPROVALS TO REBUILD, AND DO IT NOW!' Trump's remarks come amid growing scrutiny over the distribution of funds raised during the FireAid concert, which was staged across two major venues: SoFi Stadium and the Forum, in January. The event, organised by Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and featuring major artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, brought in $100 million after Ballmer and his wife Connie matched all public donations, as per CBS news. Although many organisations praised the swift distribution of FireAid benefit funds, concerns began circulating online and on social media alleging that the donations were not reaching wildfire victims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pirates Climb Aboard Cargo Ship - Watch What The Captain Did Next Tips and Tricks Undo In response to these claims, Representative Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) penned a letter urging the Department of Justice to investigate the matter. However, several recipient organisations have publicly defended FireAid, citing rapid distribution and tangible impact. 'We received $250,000,' said Kevin McManus, spokesperson for Pasadena Humane Society. 'We were able to save a lot of animals' lives in part because of that donation.' Michael Flood, CEO of the LA Regional Food Bank, said FireAid came at a crucial time when demand for food assistance surged by 30% due to the devastation caused by wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. 'It was especially high in January through March as so many people were displaced and lost power and water,' Flood told Los Angeles Times. 'People had to move in with family and friends around the county. We did a food bank in Inglewood in February and we saw just how many had been displaced by both fires.' On the other hand, many individuals said that they received no funds from the event. "I have not seen any benefit from the FireAid money, and I am very involved here and neither have my neighbors," said David Howard, who lost two homes in Pacific Palisades told Fox news. According to the FireAid website, the concert raised an estimated $100 million intended for 'direct relief.' During the event, host and actor Miles Teller assured viewers that 'all the money raised will go directly to people who need it now and long-term efforts to build it back.' However, last week, the charity said that it was not possible to make direct payments. "FireAid does not have the capability to make direct payments to individuals and that was never the plan. We partnered directly with trusted local reach communities in need," the fox news reported. Despite praise from aid groups, these accusations have reignited political debate over the state's handling of wildfire relief, emergency management, and the transparency of charity fund allocation.

Suniel Shetty on bringing extra depth in 'Hunter 2': 'He is a very different man'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Suniel Shetty has opened up about his conscious effort to bring extra depth to his character in 'Hunter 2'. Returning as Santha in the second season, the actor shared that he approached the role with a fresh perspective, making deliberate changes to his body language, emotions, and overall portrayal. When asked if there's a conscious effort to bring something extra or different in a second season of the same series, Suniel told IANS that as an actor, he approached 'Hunter 2' with a fresh mindset. I am very different in this season He said that everything about his character-body language, appearance, and emotions-has evolved. This time, the story is driven by a father's desperate mission to find his daughter, bringing a deeper emotional core to the role. The 'Dhadkan' actor shared, "I am very different in this season. The body language is different. The look is different. The emotions are different. Carefree and careless, Santha was in the first. Here it is more about family. And that is his only objective. There is no disturbance, but no other distraction in his life. He wants his daughter back and at any cost. He will go to any lengths to get that happening. So, I think that itself is a beautiful moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Like any father, my obsession is Tia Nahan, and I don't think beyond.
