Subhash Ghai recalls fallout with Salman Khan before Yuvvraaj; says, “Salman was high, we had a scuffle, then his father scolded him”

 Subhash Ghai shared details about his past conflict with Salman Khan and how Salman's father, Salim Khan, stepped in after a disagreement.He talked about this while discussing his work with Salman on the 2008 movie Yuvvraaj.


Ghai explained that his professional relationship with Salman began after a bad incident at a party.

He said Salman was drinking alcohol and an argument started between them.The situation turned into a physical fight, but things were sorted out when Salim Khan intervened.


In a recent interview with Times Now, Ghai said, "Before we made the film, we had a fight.

We had a scuffle.Then his father scolded him."


He described the situation, saying, "We were at a party.

Salman was drunk.He was saying something wrong, and I told him, 'Don't say that.' He had some problem with me.He asked me, 'Why did you do this or that?' I told him it was my decision as a director.He started abusing me.I told him not to do that.We had a disagreement there."


Ghai said that the next day, Salim Khan called him and told him that Salman had spoken to his mother about the incident.

Salim said he had scolded Salman and sent him to Ghai's house to apologize.


"He came the very next day.

He politely apologized.After that, I fell in love with him because he respected his father so much.I let go of that issue.We often visited each other.After that, we did a film together," Ghai said.


Their reconciliation led to the making of Yuvvraaj, which also starred Anil Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.

However, the 2008 film didn't do well at the box office.


Ghai has also spoken positively about Salman's character, saying, "Salman Khan never gets nervous no matter what.

No matter the number of crises and problems in his life, he might become sad, but never nervous."


He also recalled Salman's decision to avoid media interviews during the promotions of Yuvvraaj.

Salman explained, "If you are saying, I will do it, but I usually don't because media interviews expect us to be politically correct.And if I end up saying something incorrect about the film, people or myself, it will become a huge controversy.I am happy alone and I like to stay away from the media."

Chandrachur Singh files FIR over alleged forgery of grandfather’s will, accuses family members

 Actor Chandrachur Singh has gone to the police about a long family problem regarding inheritance.He says that his grandfather's will was made up to stop his late father from getting his part of the family property.According to PTI, Singh has named his aunt Gaytri Devi, two cousins, and four other family members in the FIR.


The complaint was filed at the Rorawar police station in Aligarh on Friday.

Singh says that his grandfather, Thakur Harender Pal Singh, signed the will in 1997, but at that time he was very sick and not able to sign legal papers.He claims that the signature was fake.


Singh has also blamed his uncle Ganga Singh and other relatives for being involved in the forgery.

He says that because of this fake will, his father, Captain Baldev Singh, lost his share of the family property.


He also claims that his father was not in Aligarh when the will was supposedly written.

He also says that another uncle, Puniya Pratap Singh, died before Harender Pal Singh.


The complaint says that several valuable properties listed in the will were sold over the years.

Singh said on Friday evening that he had enough proof to support his claims.He also said he gave a statement to the police after the FIR was filed.


Gaytri Devi had previously denied the allegations.

Last year, she accused Chandrachur Singh of trying to falsely accuse her and said the will was real.


Singh’s father, Captain Baldev Singh, was a former Congress MLA from Aligarh city and died a few years ago.


The police have now started an investigation into the allegations.

The claims made by Chandrachur Singh in the FIR are just accusations at this point and have not been proven yet.


Chandrachur Singh has been in Hindi cinema for several years and is known for movies like Maachis, Kya Kehna, and Josh.

He acted with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai in Josh.His filmography also includes Cuttputlli and other projects.

Abhishek Banerjee insists that Ranveer Singh as Hamza was “one of his best performances”; says, “It is more difficult than Khilji”

Months after the Dhurandhar duology came out, people in the film industry are still talking about how Ranveer Singh played Hamza.Actor Abhishek Banerjee has now shared his thoughts on the performance, saying it's one of the best he's ever seen.He also says that playing Hamza was even more challenging for an actor than Ranveer's role as Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat.

Abhishek Banerjee said, "Ranveer Singh's performance as Hamza was one of his best.

What he did, I think it's one of the best.I don't have anyone to compare with.It's his best."

When asked if he thought Ranveer's portrayal of Khilji was better than Hamza, Abhishek said that Hamza's role had different challenges for the actor.
"Trust me, this is more difficult than Khilji.As an actor, I can tell.I don't know if he'll agree with it or not.But Khilji, even if he didn't do it, someone else would have.Khilji would still be Khilji.But Hamza, no matter how good he is, you really have to be in it to get those emotions.Especially the scene where he starts killing for his sister.The rage, I haven't seen something like that in a long time," he said.

Abhishek explained that the key difference between the two characters is how much the actor's interpretation matters.
Khilji has a well-known historical identity and a big, bold personality, but Hamza needed Ranveer to build the character from scratch using emotions and expressions.The performance also included a lot of physical acting, voice changes, and facial expressions that helped show Hamza's anger.

The emotional journey of Hamza, especially the scenes in Dhurandhar: The Revenge with his sister, played a big role.
Ranveer's acting, especially his physicality and rage, became a big part of the character.The performance has also helped the Dhurandhar franchise have a strong theatrical run.

Meanwhile, Ranveer is set to star in Pralay, which will also mark his debut as a producer under his company, Maa Kasam Films.
This project will add to his upcoming film plans after the success and attention from his role as Hamza.

Toxic (Hindi) Box Office: Yash starrer FAILS to JUMP on Saturday; Headed for a SHOCKING finish

The movie Toxic, starring Yash, is heading towards a big problem as its collection numbers are dropping quickly after a strong start.If the current trends continue, the film directed by Geethu Mohandas could end up with as low as Rs.150 crore in Hindi.That is mainly because the film made Rs.53 crore on its opening day.



According to early reports, Toxic is not showing any growth on Saturday.
In fact, the collection numbers might even go down slightly, which is a bad sign for Monday.Early estimates suggest it could make between Rs.19 crore and Rs.21 crore on Saturday, bringing the total collection over four days to Rs.115 crore.

Saturday might be the last day Toxic stays in the double-digit range.
From Monday on, the numbers will drop sharply to single digits.Toxic is becoming one of the worst-performing films in terms of popularity, similar to Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan, which shows how people are talking about it negatively.

The Hindi market is still the top-performing one, thanks to Yash's success with the KGF franchise.
But the poor quality of the film has definitely affected his popularity.
