It’s hard to imagine Mr. India without Anil Kapoor, but veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar recently revealed that he wasn’t the first choice for the role. In a recent interview with Mid-Day India, Javed revealed that the original inspiration behind the film came from none other than Amitabh Bachchan, who is known for his baritone. Recalling how the idea was sparked, he said that during a film’s muhurat (launch), that was to be done by Amitabh Bachchan, the actor was not available in person. So, it was decided that his voice would be played at the muhurat. “He had to do the mahurat, and because of some reason, they recorded the voice of Amitabh and played it during the muhurat shot. So, that gave me an idea — if this voice is so popular, so effective, why can’t we make the Invisible Man with him? We wouldn’t have to take his dates also. Most of the time, we could shoot and he would later dub his voice… That is how the idea started,” he shared. He …

Late actor Smita Patil’s son Prateik Babbar has been very open about his struggles with addiction and in a recent conversation, Prateik shared that at one point in his life he hated his mother, and his father, actor Raj Babbar. Smita died in childbirth and Prateik grew up with his maternal grandparents, and reconnected with his father much later in life. Prateik said that the constant comparison with his mother in his early years in the movies did not bother him much because he hadn’t accepted himself as her son. “I was still battling with my own identity,” he said. Prateik said that now he has embraced being Smita’s son but back then, it was quite difficult for him. He shared with Bollywood Bubble, “I developed a hate for her, and my father, for both my parents. Being unavailable and growing up, everything just felt different — people started treating me differently, offering pity love. It was just different and because of that, I started hating them. I didn’t want to be associated with them. So, …

The prognosis for the 88-year-old pope, who required a transfusion of two units of blood on Saturday after experiencing a “prolonged asthma-like respiratory crisis,” remains “guarded”, according to the latest medical update. Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital on February 14. The Vatican first described his condition as critical on Saturday. “The condition of the Holy Father remains critical; however, since last night he has not experienced further respiratory crises,” the Vatican said on Sunday.
