Kyu chhod diya?’ Par uss waqt mujhe ho bhi yahi raha tha ki Saturday, Sunday Comedy Circus karte thhe toh usme do-do act hota tha. Dono act mein main female. Sunday mein bhi female… Toh kya ki waha ek image ho gaya tha, aur writers ko bhi easy tha ki ek ko female karana tha… main puchta bhi tha ki aaj kya karaoge toh woh bolte thhe, ‘Aree wahi, jo aap karte ho!’ Toh woh takleef bhi hoti hain na phir ki mujhe sirf ye nahi karna hain mujhe kuch aur bhi karna hain.

Dhurandhar 2: Kangana Ranaut calls Aditya Dhar ‘superstar filmmaker shining brighter than any hero’, says other directors are ‘bullied by superstars’ | Bollywood News

3 min readChennaiMar 21, 2026 03:35 PM IST After iconic filmmakers Rakesh Roshan, SS Rajamouli, Ram Gopal Varma, actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has joined the bandwagon of those who have taken to social media to shower praise on Ranveer Singh’s latest film Dhurandhar 2. Kangana took to Instagram Stories and lauded director Aditya Dhar, saying he has become a star in his own right. She wrote, “The best thing about Dhurandhar’s success is that Aditya Dhar, @adityadharfilms, a superstar director, is established. Hollywood superstar directors are always far bigger than superstar actors. Eg: Spielberg, Tarantino, Nolan. We never give our filmmakers enough respect or credit.” Kangana shared that while most of a film’s credit goes to lead actors, filmmakers often remain overshadowed, but with Dhurandhar 2, it is the film’s director Aditya Dhar who has emerged as the real superstar. She wrote, “They are overworked, underpaid and bullied by superstars. As a result, I never meet any young person—insider or outsider—who dreams of becoming a filmmaker, director of photography or any other technician. Everyone claims to …

Harvey Weinstein says jurors were bullied into convicting him. A judge is set to rule

NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein returns to court Thursday, seeking to get his latest sex crime conviction thrown out because anger and apprehensions flared among jurors during deliberations last spring. Harvey Weinstein says jurors were bullied into convicting him. A judge is set to rule It’s the latest convoluted turn in the former Hollywood honcho’s path through the criminal justice system. His landmark #MeToo-era case has spanned seven years, trials in two states, a reversal in one and a retrial that came to a messy end in New York last year. Weinstein was convicted of forcing oral sex on one woman, acquitted of forcibly performing oral sex on another, and the jury didn’t decide on a rape charge involving a third woman — a charge prosecutors vowed to retry yet again. Weinstein, 73, denies all the charges. They were one outgrowth of a stack of sexual harassment and sex assault allegations against him that emerged publicly in 2017 and ensuing years, fueling the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct. Early on, Weinstein apologized for “the way …
