"Itne bade superstar ke saath kaam karne ka mauka mila," he began, before playfully turning the tables. "In fact… sabse badi khushi iss baat ki huyi ki inko maine woh mauka diya mere saath kaam karne ka… warna Shah Rukh Khan saab ko kahan mauka milta Vinay Pathak ke saath kaam karne ka? Toh unko bhi avsar diya maine ki dekho guru, Ganga naha lo, humare saath kaam karke… toh hum dono ek doosre ke saath kaam karke bade hi khush thay.
" (I got the chance to work with such a big superstar. In fact, my greatest joy was that I gave him the chance to work with me… otherwise, when would Shah Rukh Khan ever get the opportunity to work with Vinay Pathak? So I gave him the opportunity too —'Come, my friend, bathe in the holy Ganga by working with me!' We were both very happy working together.)

'Ramayan': When Hrithik Roshan was considered for Ravana, but he stepped away for THIS reason
There was a time when fans were buzzing with excitement at the thought of Hrithik Roshan stepping into the role of Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari 's ambitious 'Ramayan'. The idea of Hrithik as the mythic antagonist opposite Ranbir Kapoor 's Ram had created a frenzy, and rightly so. With his commanding screen presence and sharp acting chops, Hrithik seemed like a perfect fit for the larger-than-life part. But as it turns out, the casting plans were shifted. Why Hrithik Backed Out According to Bollywood Hungama, Hrithik Roshan loved the script and was keen on the scale of the project. However, playing a villain again, after recent intense roles, wasn't something he wanted to repeat immediately. Reportedly, Hrithik felt that fans still strongly connect with him as a hero. After multiple discussions with Nitesh Tiwari and the production team, Hrithik chose to step away from Ramayan. His exit, while amicable, left the makers in search of a new Ravana, someone who could match the scale and magnetism Hrithik would have brought. The search didn't take long. The team turned to Yash, the KGF superstar, who had the screen dominance and fan base to take on the challenge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo Yash, managed by the same agency as one of the producers, showed strong interest and said yes to the role. Ramayan Teaser Set to Drop July 3 Meanwhile, fans don't have to wait much longer to get their first look at this epic saga. The first teaser of 'Ramayan' is set to release on July 3 across multiple cities. Early viewers have already called it 'goosebump-inducing' and 'a film for generations.' With 'Ramayan' being shot in two parts and the first one ready for a Diwali 2026 release, the teaser marks the beginning of what promises to be one of Indian cinema's most talked-about mythological spectacles.

Did you know Gul Panag is a pilot? Says she misses flying airplanes in the monsoon
Gul Panag The one thing Gul Panag misses the most during the monsoon is flying. A certified pilot for nearly a decade, the actress has long nurtured her passion for aviation. However, seasonal limitations — especially heavy rains — often ground her, putting a pause on her time in the skies. 'I miss flying during the monsoon,' Gul shares, adding, 'My license is under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), which means I have to rely on sight to fly. Unlike commercial planes, I can't navigate using instruments. Visibility must be at least five nautical miles.' The actress, who loves taking off from Mumbai's Juhu airport, started taking flying lessons at the age of 32. 'In 2016, I finished the required flight hours, cleared the exams and got my license. I've been a licensed pilot for eight years now,' says the Bypass Road actress. Clarifying that she only flies recreationally, Gul adds, 'Flying is a passion of mine, something I pursue as a hobby. I will fly out of Juhu and when I am overseas, I go to a club. The most beautiful moments in the sky come during the months before monsoon. My favourite flights are the last departures from Juhu before sunset. The skies are beautiful, and the sunsets are pleasant.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP160: Now with More Power and Style Honda Learn More Undo Ask her about the route she takes, and she shares, 'We have a designated route — take off from Juhu, go into sea and take a right turn towards Essel World… there is a circuit, so we don't come into the Santacruz airspace. The flight offers an unforgettable view, flying over Juhu beach against the backdrop of a glowing sunset.' While her passion for flying dates to her college days, she always knew it wouldn't be a career path. 'I wanted to learn, but I was clear that I didn't want to pursue it professionally. I'm not someone who can do the same thing every single day,' she says.
