Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Hagoromo?
Naruto Shippuden is one of the most talked-about anime even now. And the reason behind same is pretty clear: some unanswered questions, fan theories, trivia of the show, and the filled episode as well. Coming to the point there have been multiple theories going on around
Itachi Uchiha
, and some of them are more than wild.
One such theory is that Itachi of the Sharingan is the reincarnation of Hagoromo.

Yes, as wild as it sounds, the theory can be backed by multiple points. Without any further ado, let's dive deep and know how much of the truth this holds.
Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Hagoromo
As we know from Naruto Shippuden, Hagoromo had two sons - Indra and Ashura. Indra was reincarnated first as Madara and then as Sasuke. On the other hand, Ashura was reincarnated first as Hashirama and then as Naruto. Coming to Itachi, he was the only character in the anime that possessed better skills than the mentioned two, which backs the claim of him being the reincarnation of Hagoromo.
Moreover, Itachi was more mature and sharper than the elders of Hidden Leaf at a mere age of seven. And he never used his powers or abilities to induce corruption like other Uchihas - Madara and Sasuke.
The way he was focused on his mission - to save Konoha from all the threats, along with considering future aspects of his actions, is something only a god-tier shinobi can pull off. In addition, Itachi's Tsukuyomi was one of the most powerful in the show, and it's not just a regular Sharingan magic trick that any other Uchiha can do.
One of the most important points here is that none of us can forget that Itachi was the only one who was never in control of Kabuto when he came back to Earth via the reanimation jutsu. All these events and traits suggest that Itachi was not just a regular Shinobi from the Hidden Leaf village. If not a direct reincarnation, Itachi definitely was the spiritual successor of Hagoromo.

Housefull 5 Worldwide Opening Weekend Box Office: Collects Rs 132 crore globally, biggest for Akshay Kumar

The Akshay Kumar-led Housefull 5 has scored big results at the global box office as estimates indicate collections in the range of Rs 131.00 crore to Rs 133.00 crore, depending on actuals for Sunday in India and International markets. Housefull 5 opened at Rs 37.25 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 47.75 crore on Saturday, and a rather steady Sunday of Rs 47.25 crore. The film has done good business in India, whereas the international biz can be termed very good. The first weekend collections of Housefull 5 are the biggest till date for Akshay Kumar, surpassing his previous best, Sooryavanshi (Rs 117 crore). It is also the second biggest opening weekend of the year at the worldwide box office for a Hindi film after Chhaava (Rs 157 crore), bettering Sikandar (Rs 124 crore). Housefull 5 has grossed Rs 95.25 crore in India, and another Rs 37 crore (Estimates) in the international markets, taking worldwide weekend total to Rs 132.25 crore. The film has scored well in markets like New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, Canada, Germany, and USA, whereas UAE was just about decent. The film will be looking to enter the Rs 200 crore club at the worldwide box office in 8 to 10 days flat, and the aim will be to close around the Rs 300 crore mark, though the hold on Monday will play a big role in deciding the fate of the film going forward. Talking of Akshay Kumar films, Housefull 5 holds the top spot as far as global opening is concerned, followed by Soorayavanshi, Mission Mangal, Good Newwz, and Housefull 3. The first weekend results are very good, and has laid the platform for the film to emerge a success story, though the film needs to record a trend on the weekdays to seal the tag of a winner. Here's a look at the day-wise box office collections of Housefull 5 Friday: Rs 37.25 crore Saturday: Rs 47.75 crore Sunday: Rs 47.25 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 132.25 crore (Estimates)

India's highest paid director, charging ₹200 crore for a film, not Karan Johar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga or Rohit Shetty

Several factors determine whether a film becomes a box office success-- be it star power, chart-topping music, or a stellar screenplay. But at the heart of it all is the director, the true captain of the ship, who brings the entire vision to life. While it is the star actors who are paid hefty to bring the audience, it is India's highest-paid director who charges even more than actors like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. It is SS Rajamouli who holds the title of India's highest-paid film director. The Telugu filmmaker charges around ₹ 200 crore for each film he directs as per IMDd. It is said to include his upfront fees, profit share, and bonus for the sale of rights. His share can even climb higher depending on the success of the film. For instance, RRR was a global success, fetching even Academy Awards. Rajamouli was reportedly paid ₹ 200 crore after the success of his Baahubali franchise. A ₹ 200 crore paycheck for a single film places the director among the highest-paid film personalities in the country. In fact, some of India's richest superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are said to earn around ₹ 150-180 crore per film. Rajamouli's remuneration remains higher than theirs. SS Rajamouli's massive paycheck highlights his superstar status among directors. When RRR was promoted in North India, it was marketed as Rajamouli's film, despite having two major actors, Ram Charan and Jr NTR from the South industry. It happened so because of the Baahubali films which made him a household name across India. Baahubali 2 alone earned ₹ 510 crore in Hindi, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film for six years until Pathaan's release in 2023. Similarly, RRR also did impressive business at the ticket window, collecting over ₹ 270 crore in its Hindi version. If we believe the industry insiders, no other director comes close to Rajamouli's earnings. He charges more than double what others are getting in India. Big names like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prasanth Neel are said to earn around ₹ 90 crore per film. Celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani takes home ₹ 80 crore, as per reports. Directors like Sukumar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Siddharth Anand also charge a big amount, with each earning over ₹ 40 crore for a single film, yet nowhere close to the RRR director. Meanwhile, Hindi filmmakers like Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty who usually produce their own movies, make money through profit-sharing. They are said to not charge money as their fees. SS Rajamouli's upcoming film, tentatively titled SSMB29, is said to be Telugu action-adventure. It will reportedly star Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The much-anticipated pan-India film is expected to hit theatres in 2027.

Aamir Khan addresses age gap with Genelia D'Souza in Sitaare Zameen Par: ‘Age is no longer a barrier for actors'

Aamir Khan is set to play Genelia D'Souza's husband in the upcoming emotional drama Sitaare Zameen Par. The pairing comes as a surprise to many, especially since it was Aamir who introduced Genelia to Hindi cinema back in 2008, casting her opposite his nephew Imran Khan in the hit rom-com Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. More than 15 years later, the duo are now cast as a married couple. Reacting to the unexpected pairing in a recent interview with Indian Express, Aamir acknowledged the irony with a laugh: 'Ya, I know. That thought did come to me. But that was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kaafi meri age ka ho gaya hai (laughs).' Addressing the age-gap and the magic of VFX In Sitaare Zameen Par, a Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, both Aamir and Genelia play characters in their early 40s. While Aamir is now 60, he brushed off concerns about the age difference and credited technology and changing audience perceptions for helping bridge the gap. 'We have the advantage of VFX now,' he said. 'Earlier, if I had to play an 18-year-old, I had to rely on prosthetics — like Anil Kapoor did in Eeshwar (1989), when he played an 80-year-old. Today, you can look 80 or 40 or 20 on screen with seamless visual effects. So age is no longer a barrier for actors.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Slated for a June 2025 release, Sitaare Zameen Par is described as a heartfelt, coming-of-age drama.
