‘Even after two flops, I’m getting work’: Junaid Khan says he is getting films because of dad Aamir Khan | Bollywood News

3 min readMumbaiMay 13, 2026 08:41 PM IST Nepotism has long been a buzzword in the glitzy world of Bollywood. With more star kids making their debuts in high-profile projects, the discussion continues. Recently, Junaid Khan, son of superstar Aamir Khan, added his voice to the debate. Junaid recently appeared in his father Aamir Khan’s production Ek Din, which flopped at the box office. This was Junaid’s second consecutive flop, after last year’s Loveyapa. His debut film Maharaj released on Netflix. ‘I get a lot of work because I’m Aamir Khan’s son’ In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Junaid said producers tend to cast faces “they can sell”, which is why they are inclined to cast star kids as they are already recognisable faces. He added that they don’t necessarily cast the actor who is best for the film, but an actor who has the ability to sell a film. “Producers have to sell their films, therefore, they will hire someone they can sell. Their priority is what they can sell, not what is best …

Mojtaba’s ‘mosquito boats’ turn into Trump’s nightmare in Hormuz Strait as US blockade ‘flops’| Iran

Mojtaba’s ‘mosquito boats’ turn into Trump’s nightmare in Hormuz Strait as US blockade ‘flops’| Iran

Published on Apr 20, 2026 08:56 am IST Even as Donald Trump claimed Iran’s navy was “obliterated,” analysts warn a new threat is emerging in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s IRGC has deployed a “mosquito fleet” of small, fast attack boats, drones, and coastal missiles that are cheap, agile, and hard to detect. These units have already disrupted shipping lanes, slowing global trade and raising insurance costs. Experts say Iran does not need to fully block Hormuz to exert pressure—just make it dangerous enough. With one-fifth of global oil flowing through the strait, even minor disruptions carry massive global consequences.   Home / Videos / World News / Mojtaba’s ‘mosquito boats’ turn into Trump’s nightmare in Hormuz Strait as US blockade ‘flops’| Iran Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

Mammootty considered becoming a film director as he feared being phased out of acting after consecutive flops: ‘He even accepted an advance’ | Malayalam News

Mammootty considered becoming a film director as he feared being phased out of acting after consecutive flops: ‘He even accepted an advance’ | Malayalam News

5 min readKochiUpdated: Mar 30, 2026 06:28 PM IST Actors donning the director’s hat isn’t a recent phenomenon in Indian cinema. From Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, Aparna Sen, Kamal Haasan, and Revathy to Aamir Khan, Nandita Das, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ajay Devgn, Seema Pahwa, Farhan Akhtar, Naseeruddin Shah, and R Madhavan, the list is long. The scene is no different in the Malayalam film industry either, where noted actors like Sheela, Madhu, Pratap Pothen, Sreenivasan, Venu Nagavally, Cochin Haneefa, Madhupal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Vineeth Sreenivasan and Mohanlal, among many others, have tried their hands at filmmaking. In fact, even Mammootty once considered becoming a director, though not solely because of his fascination with filmmaking. Before becoming the megastar he is today, there was a phase in Mammootty’s career when pretty much everyone, including him, was certain his days in the film industry were numbered. During the mid-1980s, his movies, including good ones, bombed one after another, to the point where most people concluded that he would only get supporting roles going forward — and that, too, …

Funky Final Box Office Collections: Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar starrer rom-com flops with Rs 9 crore closing

Funky Final Box Office Collections: Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar starrer rom-com flops with Rs 9 crore closing

Telugu film Funky ceased its box office journey at just Rs. 9 crore gross at the Indian box office. The Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar starrer romantic comedy drama was released in cinemas over the Valentine’s Day weekend. After taking an opening of Rs. 2.50 crore, the movie witnessed a downward trajectory at the box office. It even failed to register any sort of jump on Valentine’s Day. That itself sealed its fate at the box office. Funky managed to sail to Rs. 8.65 crore gross in its opening week. Since then, it barely even added Rs. 50 lakh to the tally. That said, the movie turned out to be a big misfire at the box office.  The movie suffered due to its average word-of-mouth. Had the movie registered a positive reception, it would have had a better run at the box office. Funky is now streaming on an OTT platform. It will be interesting to see whether or not the movie can impress the audience in its digital debut.  Final box office collections of Funky are …

Assi Final Box Office Collections: Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha’s courtroom drama flops with Rs 10 crore closing

Assi Final Box Office Collections: Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha’s courtroom drama flops with Rs 10 crore closing

Assi, directed by Anubhav Sinha and starring Taapsee Pannu, Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and others, has almost exhausted its theatrical run at the box office. The courtroom drama opened with Rs. 1 crore and went on to collect around Rs. 6.50 crore nett in its opening week.  It further witnessed a sharp decline in the second week, when it netted around Rs. 2.45 crore. The movie hit a new low in the third week, minting just Rs. 90 lakh, of which around Rs. 70 lakh came in the weekend only. That took its total cume to Rs. 9.85 crore nett in India.  Though the movie has one more week of free run, the low-level of daily collections suggests that the movie won’t be able to go much further. Based on the current trends, Assi is looking for a finish at just Rs. 10 crore nett or so at the Indian box office. This is around 1/3rd of what the previous collaboration of Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha, Thappad, collected at the …
