‘Ladka bewakoof hai’: Sunil Dutt begged police to save Sanjay Dutt in 1993 Mumbai blasts case | Bollywood News

Sanjay Dutt, during his younger years, was often seen as the quintessential “spoilt brat.” Born to film legends Nargis Dutt and Sunil Dutt, Sanjay often found himself in the news for the wrong reasons. Over time, his life became embroiled in multiple controversies, including substance abuse, alleged links with the underworld, and his association with the 1993 Bombay blasts.

Arijit Singh sent shockwaves across the music industry and the audience on Tuesday evening when he announced his retirement from playback singing. “I am happy to announce that I am not going to be taking any new assignments as a playback vocalist from now on. I am calling it off. It was a wonderful journey,” he wrote on social media. Arijit has surely been at it consistently for over a decade as every year, he lends his voice to at least a dozen of songs.

The other five are from films, with a couple of them even topping the charts. These include “Sitaare” from Sriram Raghavan’s period war drama Ikkis, “Ghar Kab Aaoge”, the rehashed version of iconic Border (1997) track “Sandese Aate Hain” from Anurag Singh’s blockbuster period war drama Border 2, “Sunhari Kirne” from Gandhi Talks, and “Hum Toh Tere Hi …

I Begged To Write Me Off

Here’s How Bradley Cooper’s Exit From Alias Had A Positive Impact On His Career (Photo Credit – Facebook) Bradley Cooper’s early acting career got a pretty solid push when he landed the role of Will Tippin on Alias, J.J. Abrams’ spy drama that made viewers question who was spying on who. But here’s the twist that no one saw coming—Cooper didn’t want to stick around. After two seasons, the actor begged Abrams to write him off the show. When he was still on the rise, one of TV’s biggest stars was already planning his exit. Why? Because Will Tippin wasn’t entirely living up to the Cooper potential. Alias debuted in 2001, and we were all in on the twisted spy stories, secret agents, and deep conspiracies. Cooper played Will, Sydney Bristow’s (Jennifer Garner) journalist buddy who had no idea his friend was moonlighting as a CIA agent. Will’s life was like an episode of “I’m in danger,” all thanks to his endless nosiness to SD-6, the shadowy spy organization. By the end of season 1, …

Why Hugh Jackman Begged The Oscars To Skip Ryan Reynolds’ Nomination – Says It Would Be a ‘Problem’

Why Hugh Jackman Begged The Oscars To Skip Ryan Reynolds’ Nomination – Says It Would Be a ‘Problem’

Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds Oscars Joke (Photo Credit – Instagram) Hugh Jackman wasn’t holding back in a video where he made a hilarious, albeit very serious, plea to the Academy: Do not nominate Ryan Reynolds for Best Original Song. The reason? If the Spirited track “Good Afternoon” got an Oscar nod, Jackman’s life would be “insufferable” for a whole year. Yup, he was talking about working alongside Reynolds on Deadpool 3. Imagine the chaos. In the video, Jackman, looking deadpan and sitting in front of the camera, shared his wish for a “positive message” in the new year. But, of course, the latest Spirited development derailed that. “I really, really wanted to send out a positive message at the beginning of the year, but recent events have made that impossible,” he said, setting the stage for his tongue-in-cheek Oscar plea. Now, if you’re wondering what “recent events” meant, Reynolds’ infectious musical number “Good Afternoon” was shortlisted for Best Original Song at the 2024 Oscars. Jackman was all in for the song—he even admitted that his …
