Amitabh Bachchan Feels ‘honored’ to Work with Suraj Barjatya Happy Birthday: Big B turns 80
Advertisement
Amitabh Bachchan, veteran actor and living legend of Bollywood, has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with the eminent filmmaker Suraj Barjatya of Rajshri Productions. Though this is not the first time that he is working with Rajshri, he said that he feels honored to work with Barjatya. At the trailer launch of his upcoming movie Uunchai, he profusely thanked Barjatya for casting him in the film and allowing him to work with great actors.
Mentioning that he had worked with Rajshri Productions in the initial years of his film career, Bachchan also said that both his wife Jaya and son Abhishek had worked with Rajshri, and now it’s his turn. Suraj Barjatya, too, expressed his respect and admiration for “Big B” — as many call him. He said that it is extremely easy to work with him and added that they’ve shared thoughts on poetry and filmmaking in his van. However, on the set, Bachchan is a quiet listener — very likely one reason he has become such an accomplished actor.
Uunchai revolves around the story of four friends on a journey to climb Mount Everest. The story and direction are by Suraj Barjatya and features Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta and Parineeti Chopra as cast members along with Bachchan.
He is an institution in and of himself. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan turned 80 on October 11, 2022. The showman with five decades in the film industry was greeted by a cross-section of his fans and followers among others. Even our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted him on his social media handle with birthday wishes for the veteran actor; he wished for a long and healthy life. Modiji called him the most remarkable film personality who has fascinated and entertained the audience for more than five decades.
This year, he surprised his fans who gathered around his residence, Jalsa, at midnight to greet him. He came out at the late hour for a short while and accepted the greetings of his fans. A special show by Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), featuring “Big B” as the host, was organized. His wife Jaya and son Abhishek were also in attendance. Social media handles were full of birthday wishes for the megastar by his colleagues, juniors, and fans. Bachchan spent his birthday with his family in the house. His daughter Shweta Bachchan shared a few photos on her Instagram handle where “Big B” was seen with his son Abhishek and daughter Shweta, who was twinning with her father in their outfits.
Anupam Kher Visits Kailash Temple In Agra
Veteran actor Anupam Kher had an amazing experience filled with devotion and gratitude during his visit to the Kailash Temple near Agra. Kher was shooting for his upcoming movie Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay in Agra and had an opportunity to explore the remarkable sculpture and interact with the priest of the temple. He said that it is the only temple in the world with two Shivling. The actor was extremely happy for the opportunity to worship in the temple and expressed his contentment with his followers on his social media handle.
He also learned from the priest that the Kailash Temple is 10,000 years old. He prayed for the well-being of all to Lord Shiva and shared some glimpses of his interaction with the priest of the temple. A few weeks ago, Kher also visited the Guru Ka Taal Gurudwara in Agra and sought blessings. He interacted with the Kar Sevaks at the Gurudwara and paid homage to Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib for his sacrifice and said that the Kashmiri Hindus will be ever grateful to him.
Kangana Ranaut’s Reaction to a Fan’s Request to Restore her Twitter Account
Kangana Ranaut admitted that she missed her friends on the microblogging platform Twitter. She responded positively to one of her fan’s requests to restore her Twitter account after its takeover by Elon Musk. A great supporter of Musk, Kangana shared the screenshot of her fan’s request, along with a sticker that said to protect free speech. Kangana’s Twitter account was permanently suspended in May 2021 following her comments on the West Bengal assembly election results. Now, after Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, her fans hope for the restoration of her account. Kangana reacted positively to this request. Her fans want her account to come back for the sake of the freedom of speech.
Kangana, being an ardent supporter of Elon Musk, defended him after Kanye West’s tweet in which the actor shared a post by Vanity Fair mentioning that Musk would convert Twitter into a “right-wing” gutter. Defending Musk, Kangana commented that the liberals are opposing him, because they can’t stand a bright, intelligent, selfmade, and sane person like Musk.
Kangana’s upcoming movie is titled Emergency, and she plays the role of the late Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Vishak Nair, and Shreyas Talpade are also part of the cast.
Wedding Bells for Palak Muchhal and Mithoon
It can rightly be called a marriage of melodies. The super hit singer Palak Muchhal recently married composer Mithoon in early November 2022. They have created quite a few famous songs together, and now it is time for them to move ahead in the song of life. They worked together on songs, such as “Keh Bhi De” and “Door Na Jaa” in 2016. Two songs in Aashiqui 2 — “Meri Aashiqui” and “Chaahu Main Ya Na” were also created by them, where Mithoon was the composer and Palak was the singer. The songs became a super-hit instantly after release. Despite knowing each other for quite a long time, their union was an arranged marriage, according to sources. Their wedding celebrations began on November 4, 2022, and the couple will have their wedding reception in Mumbai.
Palak Muchhal was the playback singer in hit films, such as Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Aashiqui 2 (2013), Kick (2014), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016), and Kaabil (2017). Palak is also famous for her charity work for the underprivileged. Mithoon has composed songs for films, including Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Zeher, Kalyug, Anwar, Sanam Re, Shivaay, Baaghi 2, and Kabir Singh.

Ram Setu is miles apart from the average Bollywood masala movie. It is like a breath of fresh air in the world of typical Hindi movies featuring either romance or action. It is an adventure movie — seldom made in Bollywood — a movie that is based on Indian themes and traditions that is going to inspire young people, especially teenagers.
The movie begins with the mention of cultural bonding between Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India and the destruction of Bamiyan Buddha by the Taliban. The plot of the movie revolves around the request for the destruction of the Ram Setu for a multi-crore shipping project. Akshay Kumar, playing the role of the Joint Director of the Archaeology department Dr Aryan Kulshrestha, is pressured by the government to submit a report on the Ram Setu that it is not man-made, but rather a natural formation.
With Aryan being an atheist, his report would not hurt any religious sentiment in breaking the Ram Setu. However, looking into the matter, Aryan found a deep-rooted truth and the cultural heritage and integrating powers of the Ramayana. His exploration and detailed research lead him to discover the closely intertwined relationship between history and mythology.
Aryan’s search and exploration reveal many truths to the viewers. He, too, goes to Sri Lanka in search of the truth. The visuals are extremely beautiful, with all credit going to Aseem Mishra and his camera. The stunts are also quite appropriate. The viewers get to see chases, suspense, courtroom arguments, and strong religious reasoning. Ram Setu was built by none other than Lord Rama, and apart from being a bridge, it is a symbol of protection of the Lord for all women whenever they are in danger.
Akshay Kumar gave a stellar performance as the senior archeologist Dr. Aryan Kulshrestha. Telugu actor Satyadev, too, was excellent. Jacqueline Fernandez and Nusrat Barucha are both appropriate in their roles. There is no song or romantic subplot… which is a great relief to many. Abhishek Sharma does a good job as both the story writer and director. Ram Setu establishes the power of Hinduism and is a must-watch for everyone.
