3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Jun 4, 2026 08:10 PM IST Many people from the film industry have described filmmaker Anurag Kashyap as a ‘difficult’ person to work with. In a recent interview, actor-turned-producer Nikhil Dwivedi, whose upcoming film Bandar has been helmed by Anurag, admitted that the director can sometimes be ‘difficult’ because he is ‘very passionate.’ During a chat with Vickey Lalwani, Nikhil recalled approaching Anurag to read the script of Bandar. “I got the script written from Sudip and just sent it to Anurag to read and give his opinion. He read the script, called me, and said that he will only direct it. He chose me, I didn’t choose him. He is a difficult director. He is very passionate about his beliefs. My writers are equally passionate about their beliefs, even I am too.

Shah Rukh, Salman’s films earn over Rs 200 even before release, claims Nikhil Dwivedi | Bollywood News

For anyone doubting if the holy trinity of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan – are showing any signs of slowing down, that doesn’t seem to be the case. While Shah Rukh is on a roll again, with blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan in 2023 and Siddharth Anand’s action thriller King slated to release in cinemas this Christmas, Aamir and Salman seem to be having a tougher time at the box office. While Aamir’s latest release, RS Prasanna’s coming-of-age sports dramedy Sitaare Zameen Par did help him bounce back a little from debacles Thugs of Hindostan (2018) and Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), Salman’s misfortunes continue with the failure of Sikandar last year and uncertainty over the release of his next, Maatrubhumi. Economics of Khans’ films But irrespective of the recent bumps, all three Khans continue to fuel the film industry purely on the basis of the massive hype their films generate even today, even over 30 years since they made their debut. “On an average, the digital, satellite, and music rights of …

Was Priyanka Chopra the OG Naagin? Ekta Kapoor reveals she wanted to make a film but the ‘actress went to America’ | Bollywood News

In recent times, films rooted in mythology and folklore have been gaining significant traction at the domestic box office. While the trend initially took off in the South with films like Karthikeya, Kalki and Kantara, the wave eventually reached Bollywood with projects such as Adipurush, Brahmastra and now SS Rajamouli’s upcoming Varanasi, and also the upcoming Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer Ramayana. However, much before this trend became mainstream, producer Ekta Kapoor had envisioned a film based on Indian folklore, Naagin. The idea, however, failed to materialise on the big screen. Instead, Kapoor adapted the concept into a television series—one that went on to become among the most popular shows on Indian television, with consistent demand for newer seasons. In a recent interview, Ekta spoke about how Indian audiences eagerly consume Western superhero films while often overlooking homegrown folklore-based stories. ‘India underestimates folklore’ Speaking to Usha Kakade Productions, Ekta said, “Mythology in India is deeply instilled in the people of this country. We grew up listening to these stories from our grandparents. Every kid in India …
