Shekhar Kapur Says He Was Fired By Dharmendra From Bobby Deol's Debut Barsaat: 'Didn't Walk Out'
Last Updated: Shekhar Kapur has revealed he was fired from Bobby Deol's debut Barsaat, ending years of speculation about the 90s Bollywood shake-up. Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has set the record straight on one of Bollywood's longest-whispered rumours – that he walked away from Bobby Deol's debut film Barsaat. The director says the truth is not this. 'I never walked out, I have been thrown out of films," Kapur told Filmfare. 'Barsaat was an idea that was being developed and I think I wasn't quite understanding Dharam ji's ideas. Then Sunny was in London and he called the next guy who took over, Rajkumar Santoshi. So I talked to Raj ji and told him that since you have done films before with all of them, can you talk to Dharam ji? And he said, 'Haan main sambhal leta hoon.' And the next day I found out, he was directing it. That's it. That's all that happened. People say I walked out of it, but let me be honest, I didn't walk out of it. Mind you, I immediately went and made Bandit Queen." In the 1990s, Bobby's launch was treated like the arrival of a future superstar. The younger son of Dharmendra, he was cast opposite Twinkle Khanna, daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. Barsaat was initially Kapur's project, fresh off his hits Mr India and Masoom. But Bobby says the switch happened after just under a month of shooting. Speaking at the Jagran Film Festival in 2023, he recalled, 'I started shooting for the film very early and Shekhar Kapur was the director. We shot for the film for 27 days. He then got an offer from Hollywood to make Bandit Queen. Shekhar said, 'I will do Bandit Queen and come back to do Barsaat.' But my father told him that he didn't want to delay it. He told Shekhar, 'You go do your film, I will find somebody else.' And I think Rajkumar Santoshi was waiting to direct my film. I got lucky with him." Even on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Bobby poked fun at the shake-up, joking, 'Maybe that's why Shekhar ran away. Shekhar Kapur. He was scared. But then Raj directed the film. But I never thought I was under pressure." Barsaat follows Badal (Bobby Deol), a carefree young man from a small town who moves to the city for college, where he meets and falls in love with Tina (Twinkle Khanna), the spirited daughter of a wealthy and overprotective father. As their romance blossoms, Badal finds himself clashing with Tina's family, particularly her father, who disapproves of their relationship. The story weaves together themes of love, loyalty, and standing up for one's beliefs, with action-packed confrontations and emotional drama driving Badal's fight to win over Tina's heart.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement odds surge after wedding hint and house-hunting buzz
Speculation surrounding a potential engagement between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has intensified (Getty Images) The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has once again captured the spotlight — and this time, the chatter is backed by betting odds. According to Oddspedia, the chances of the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end proposing to the global pop icon before the end of 2025 have jumped to +100, translating to an even 50% probability. That's a significant leap from April, when the odds stood at +155, or roughly 39%. Andy Reid's cheeky wedding comment adds fuel to engagement rumors The surge comes amid a wave of recent headlines fueling speculation about a possible 'Traylor' engagement. Oddspedia spokesperson Steven Loung explained, 'The spike comes after a back-to-back wave of moments that had fans losing it.' Fescoe and Dusty on Travis Kelce Day! One of the biggest sparks came from none other than Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. In a lighthearted moment during a radio interview, Reid teased that he was already 'preparing a speech for their future wedding.' For Swifties and NFL fans alike, the comment was enough to send social media into overdrive. While Reid's remark may have been tongue-in-cheek, the timing — just months before the new NFL season — only added intrigue. The speculation didn't stop there. Just days before Reid's comments, a Cleveland outlet reported that Swift and Kelce were spotted touring 'opulent homes' in the upscale eastside suburbs of Cleveland. Given that Kelce hails from nearby Cleveland Heights, the sighting suggested a potential step toward settling down together. Engagement odds now rival Chiefs' Super Bowl chances Interestingly, the engagement odds now rival the Chiefs' own chances of winning another Super Bowl. ESPN BET lists Kansas City at +750 to win it all — making them the fourth favorite behind the Ravens, Eagles, and Bills. In other words, bookmakers see a Kelce-Swift engagement as nearly as likely as Patrick Mahomes leading the team to another championship. While the 'no' bet on an engagement still has a slight edge at -125, the narrow gap shows how quickly sentiment has shifted. Whether the proposal happens on a football field, in a quiet Cleveland neighborhood, or in true Swift-style on stage, the public's fascination with this power couple is showing no signs of slowing down.
