Mukesh Rishi says Salman Khan is just misunderstood: 'He's incredibly friendly, we drank together'; recalls working with Amitabh Bachchan
Mukesh Rishi is known for many movies like 'Sarfarosh', 'Sooryavansham', 'Gunda' among others. The actor who has worked with all the top stars in the industry has recently opened up on his experience of working with these actors - from Amitabh Bachchan , Salman Khan and Aamir Khan . Rishi hasshared screen space with Salman in many movies and shared a great bonding with him. He recalled how Salman was so friendly, as opposed to the kind of things people say about him and his mood swings. He said that Salman is misunderstood. Opening up on it, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mukesh said, "Salman was someone I did two or three films with. He's incredibly friendly and always took the initiative to create a fun atmosphere in the evenings. After pack-up, plans would be made to go out, maybe to a restaurant or a pub. That's the kind of bond we shared. Sometimes we'd even exercise together. There was a real sense of camaraderie." He added, "I never experienced any mood swings from him. We never had a moment that felt off. Over time, of course, life changes, and distance grows as people stop meeting, stop attending parties, and stop working together. But I never saw that side of him. In fact, people often misunderstand." When asked if he's every partied with Salman, Rishi said, "Yes, we did drink together." Meanwhile, Rishi has also shared screen space with Bachchan. Talking about him, he said, "I've done three to four films with Amit ji. There was always a respectful working relationship. He wasn't the kind to engage in lengthy conversations, but the rapport was always there. Love and respect can't be forced, they come from the heart." When asked about his experience with Akshay Kumar , he added, "The conversations were limited to what happened on set." However, his revelation about Aamir Khan was quite the opposite of the usual perception about the star. Many think that perhaps Aamir would be in his shell or serious while working on a film, but Rishi said, "Wherever four people are sitting, his chair will find its way there," he laughed.

India's most watched movie failed at box office, still has views over 100 crore, beat Sholay, Baahubali, Mughal-e-Azam, the film is…, lead actors are…
India's most watched movie failed at box office, still has views over 100 crore, beat Sholay, Baahubali, Mughal-e-Azam, the film is..., lead actors are... It is believed that Sholay is arguably the most-watched Indian film and the biggest hit in Indian cinema's history. For a long time, this achievement was true. However, the rise of cable TV and Internet completely transformed how cinema measured its viewership. Today, TRPs, YouTube views, streaming minutes also count. Surprisingly, this shift made a box office flop the most-watched Indian film in history. To anyone who ever browsed Sony MAX might know that how Amitabh Bachchan's cult film Sooryavansham became a staple movie on that channel. It won't be surprise that this film holds the tag of being the most watched Indian movie. Released in 1999, Sooryavansham starred Soundarya, Jayasudha, Rachna Banerjee, Anupam Kher, and Kader Khan, alongside Bachchan. Directed by EVV Satyanarayana, the film was a Box office disappointment when released. It earned only Rs 12.65 crore worldwide and failed to break even. The 1999 release was able to sell just Rs 40 lakh tickets, a low response at that time. But than Sooryavansham saw a different turn when it had its satellite premiere on Sony MAX (then called SET MAX). In the past 25 years, the movie had countless re-telecasts on the channel. The re-runs were watched by over 40 lakh households, which is quite an impressive number. However, several experts claim that the number has to be at least 25-30 crore or even higher. But, its bulk of major views come from YouTube. Sooryavansham has been finally uploaded on the platform by Goldmines Entertainment, which owns its YouTube rights. The film has been uploaded on Goldmines's three different channels, which hold a combined viewership of 701 million. This gives the Amitabh Bachchan starrer an estimated 100 crore views across platforms. In comparison to other highly-watched films like Sholay , which has 2 million views on YouTube, while DDLJ has under a million and Baahubali: The Beginning also has combined 20 million views. But none could beat Sooryavansham.

This actress, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, gave back-to-back hits, died in a plane crash; She was...
Some actors attract everyone effortlessly, and it is unfortunate to see them go too soon. Today, we are going to tell you about one such actress who not only mesmerised everyone with her smile, but whose simple beauty and acting skills also made her a remarkable performer. Unfortunately, at the peak of her career, fate had something else in store. She left this world at the age of 31. Actress Soundarya, who made her mark in the South Indian film industry before entering Bollywood, made her debut in Hindi cinema with a film that made her an overnight sensation among Hindi-speaking audiences. She was considered one of the top actresses of her time. That film was none other than Suryavansham, which continues to be aired on television even today. Soundarya did one Hindi film with Amitabh Bachchan, the cult classic Sooryavansham. It was released in 1999 and directed by E. V. V. Satyanarayana. By that time, she had already become a well-known star in the South. Soundarya's death at the age of 31 sent shockwaves across the country. It was a huge loss for the film industry. On the unfortunate morning of April 17, 2004, the actress took off from the Jakkur airstrip near Bengaluru in Karnataka. She was heading to Andhra Pradesh for a political campaign, having joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by then. Soon after takeoff, the plane crashed, and all the passengers were burned to death. Soundarya was only 31 years old at the time. According to reports, she was pregnant and was travelling with her brother.
