Working directly with the actors helped bring the characters to life exactly as I had imagined, right along with Amelia and Nick.Even though I was new to their industry, the actors trusted me, and together we created something special that we are excited to share with audiences around the world."

All About Her is produced by Sheetal Parab.

There are 300 versions of Ramayana, so there are 300 points of view.We wanted to make sure we didn’t do anything that would hurt people’s feelings.That’s why we used to call Kumar ji and ask for guidance.”

Dhamaal 4 Box Office: Sees HUGE GROWTH on Saturday as collections get into DOUBLE DIGIT zone, further JUMP on the cards today

It was a great second Saturday for Dhamaal 4 as the money it made was much higher than on Friday, reaching Rs.5.39 crores.It wasn't really a surprise because last weekend also saw big jumps from Friday to Saturday.This kind of growth is common for movies that are popular with families, as that's when most people go to the theaters.

This trend was also seen with Dhamaal 4, directed by Indra Kumar.

The film crossed into the double-digit earnings and ended up making Rs.10.11 crores.This shows that the movie is getting a lot of support from the audience, especially since it's another comedy that has done well this year, following Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle.It also makes people wonder where Golmaal 5 would stand when it comes out, especially since it has a much bigger audience and more popularity.Plus, this time Akshay Kumar is also in the film.

With a total of Rs.

100.90 crores so far, the movie has officially joined the Rs.100 Crore Club.It's expected to go past Rs.110 crores by the end of the second weekend and then add even more during the weekdays.At least Rs.17-18 crores more are likely to come in before the second week ends, putting the total at around Rs.160-170 crores.That would make it the highest-grossing Dhamaal movie ever.

I want to tell you all that I apologize for wearing these dark glasses.My eyes have an infection.But on this happy occasion, all I feel is love!So, please don't mind."

He then turned to Arun Govil, who was sitting in the audience, and said, "First, I want to speak to Arun ji." The veteran actor stood up as he heard his name.

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda celebrate Saiyaara first anniversary at Wembley Stadium; unveil exclusive Collectors Edition Vinyl LP

A year after Saiyaara became one of the biggest hits at the box office, Yash Raj Films celebrated the film's first anniversary with a special event at London's Wembley Stadium.The lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, were there to unveil an exclusive Collector's Edition Vinyl LP that honors the film's music and how much it's loved by people.

  

Wembley Stadium is special for Saiyaara because it was where one of the film's most memorable scenes took place.

In that scene, Ahaan Panday's character, Krish Kapoor, recognizes Vaani Batra through her eyes on the stadium's big screen.The film's emotional reunion between Krish and Vaani also happens at Wembley, which makes it a perfect place to celebrate the film's first anniversary.

The new Collector's Edition vinyl set has two discs.

The first includes all nine songs from the film's soundtrack.The second disc has 25 tracks, including 16 original background scores and nine famous dialogues from the movie.

Along with the music, the Collector's Pack also has a special Saiyaara diary.

It includes notes from YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani, director Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda, and other members of the music team.The package also comes with an exclusive ink pen inspired by Vaani's notebook from the film and two character-themed bookmarks that look like Krish and Vaani.

Mohit Suri, the film's director, said, "Music is the heart of every love story, whether in real life or in films.

With Saiyaara, I felt this even more.The depth of Krish and Vaani's relationship, the lasting feelings, the innocence, and the magic wouldn't have been the same without the songs.I'm truly thankful for the love people have shown the film because of its music.Vaani says in the film, 'The mind forgets, but the heart doesn't, and great music stays in the heart forever.' It's amazing that the music has stayed with fans long after the film.The feeling is surreal because the core of Saiyaara was always about how a song can take you back to a moment, bring back memories, and bring back love.That's why this LP isn't just a collection of songs.It's a way for people to experience the film all over again—emotions, melodies, and memories one at a time.We thought carefully about every detail to bring back the Saiyaara experience for fans."  

Akshaye Widhani, YRF CEO, added, "Saiyaara was a personal project for us because it marked our return to the romance genre, which has always been central to YRF and our most successful love stories.

We wanted to give fans not just a film, but also a music album that could stand the test of time.I have to thank Mohit Suri for making this possible.As we celebrate Saiyaara's first anniversary, we're excited to release this exclusive Collector's Edition Vinyl LP.It gives fans the chance to enjoy the film's music, sounds, and dialogues in a way that's meaningful and lasting.We wanted to create something they could own, revisit, and cherish for years to come—an ultimate Saiyaara keepsake that holds the full emotional journey of the film."  

Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshaye Widhani, became a major success, making over Rs.

580 crores worldwide.The film also made Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda one of the most talked-about acting pairs in the industry.The Saiyaara Collector's Edition Vinyl LP will be available to fans around the world.
