Karisma Kapoor on working with Helen, dearth of romcoms in Bollywood: I wish more such stories were made today

Karisma Kapoor is back to lead a project after a long time as she stars as a cop in the web series Brown, and the actor admits that leading a project still gives her a child-like-excitement. “For every actor, whether you are leading a show or have two scenes, you treat it like a child, your baby. There’s more excitement than and nervousness or jitters. We have to try put our best foot forward and then it’s up to the audience,” she says. Karisma Kapoor (Photo: Instagram) While she is enjoying dabbling into the intense drama space that the current era has started to become known for, Karisma Kapoor admits to missing the light-hearted, slice-of-life romcoms that were once the signature of Bollywood in the 90s and early 2000s. She acknowledges that they are being made quite a few and far in between. “That time, the audience used to go into cinema to forget everything that us going on in their daily lives, and just come there and laugh with their families with pure entertainment. …

Bhumi Pednekar said, “In the 90s, all the superstars made their careers on the back of romance. Today, the genre is just not taken seriously.

In the midst of all the testosterone and everything, The Royals will be a breath of fresh air. I hope this changes the wind and more romance gets written.” WATCH | The Royals trailer: Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi …

‘Financial struggles, dearth of coaches’ – What ails Indian MMA?

‘Financial struggles, dearth of coaches’ – What ails Indian MMA?

When Anshul Jubli stepped inside the UFC octagon last month, he carried the hopes and dreams of countless Indian MMA fans. The support he received before the fight against debutant Quillan Salkilld was unprecedented. But when he was knocked out just 19 seconds into the bout, it felt as if the whole nation turned their backs on Jubli. The sentiment, ‘success is the only thing that matters’ was loud and clear. Unfortunately, this isn’t just the case with Jubli – India’s most recognisable face in MMA. Countless other fighters, who represent the country globally are subjected to heavy criticism and trolling when they lose. However, the question to be asked is – Do these fighters deserve the trolls and hate they cope? Does India have what it takes to produce world-class MMA talent? The answer to this question is subjective at best. Different people connected to the ecosystem have different opinions, but it’s safe to say the country lacks the facilities to develop this sport. Lack of facilities While fighters like Jubli conduct fight camps …

Kunal Kemmu: Lucky to come when there is a dearth of comedies

Madgaon Express has turned out to be the comedy we didn’t know we needed. The buddy comedy, which stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi and Avinash Tiwary, opened last week to unanimous praise from critics and audiences. And who’s grinning from ear to ear? Debutant director Kunal Kemmu.  Tell him that the laugh riot has come at a time when Bollywood was witnessing a drought of well-made comedies, and he says, “I would be speaking out of turn if I said that I wrote the film because comedies weren’t being made. The industry goes through fads. Right now, it’s action; tomorrow, horror might work. If Madgaon Express had released when there were four comedies behind me, people would say, ‘Why do we need one more?’ I am lucky to come at a time when there has been a dearth of comedies. I just wrote a film that made me happy. I would’ve made it whenever I got the opportunity. I’m happy that there has been an appetite for it because if I have cooked food, I want …

Rajat Kaul: Since the OTT boom, there has been no dearth of work | Bollywood

Seen in projects like Special OPS and Ranjish Hi Sahi, actor Rajat Kaul is ecstatic with the kind of response his last release has earned. “Who doesn’t want to be part of history in the making and Pathaan has been a real game changer for us. It has brought me back on track and I am so glad that I got to do this film. I still remember that when auditioning I had no idea that it was for such a big project,” says the Lucknowite who played Raafe in the film. Kaul had earlier done an ad with Shah Rukh Khan and calls it sheer luck to have got another chance to share screen with him. “I remember, I was back from a Broadway Jaane Jigar being staged in the Middle East that I got to audition for this part. I was totally clueless about what the project was as back then things were very much under wraps. After I got the role and we started the shoot, I realised that it was SRK’s …
