Neena Gupta reveals a huge part of her role from 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' was removed
Actress
Neena Gupta
, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming film 'Metro... In Dino', has revealed that almost one track of her character was trimmed out from the cult-classic 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro'.
The actress spoke with IANS ahead of the release of 'Metro... In Dino', and shared that she had a track with actor
Ravi Baswani
. However, she told IANS that her entire track with Ravi was edited from the film.
Speaking with IANS, the actress said, "I had a track with Ravi Baswani. It was dropped from the final output. In fact, it got cut in the rehearsal itself. It was a major track. The film was very long on paper. We used to rehearse. We used to read the play.
They thought it was too long. So the makers cut our track."
She further mentioned that she has read the script of the film's sequel, which was also quite long. However, the film has been shelved, and the actress feels it's for better.
"I have read the script of 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro 2'. I have read the script. Very long script again. I was almost playing Bhakti's role. The film's producer called me. I forgot his name. I don't know what happened but it got shelved.
It's good that it didn't work out. Whatever is good, it shouldn't be made again. It is a classic," she added.
Earlier, the actress recollected an incident when she was ready to give her shot on the film's set but was asked to return to her van.
The actress shared that director
Anurag Basu
is very instinctive and perceptive, and is brimming with ideas till the last moment before the take.
She praised Anurag and said that the whole script is in his head and the best part of working with him is that he improvises on the spot.
Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro... In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu.
The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.

Somy Ali believes in Tanushree Dutta's allegations of being harassed at home: 'Her mental health...'
Actress Somy Ali, who has always supported actress Tanushree Dutta, this time too, she believes in her after Dutta alleges of being harassed at home. Somy, who runs a US-based NGO called 'No More tears' and works to save and rehabilitate victims of domestic abuse and rape, claimed that she believes Tanushree as she has lived on the other side of silence. Tanushree Dutta's Mental Health Somy told IANS, 'Tanushree spoke of being harassed. Of being gaslit. Of a spy planted as a maid in her home, of attempted poisoning, of systematic defamation, and of rampant misogyny disguised as stardom. Some in the media ridiculed her. Others discredited her mental health. But what few dared ask was: What if it's true? What if Tanushree's story isn't an outlier but a rule?' Somy Ali supports Tanushree Dutta She stressed that Bollywood has long suffered from a toxic immunity culture, where powerful men are treated like gods, and survivors are treated like liabilities. 'I know. I was once part of that world. I've witnessed women offered 'auditions' that weren't about acting. I've seen women ostracized for saying 'no.' I've watched survivors suffer mental breakdowns while the perpetrators received national awards,' Somy added. She went on to say, 'And yet when someone like Tanushree dares to lift the veil, the collective response isn't support, it's damage control. Public relations machinery goes into overdrive. Character assassination begins. Anonymous sources leak half-truths. And worst of all, the survivor is pathologized. 'She's paranoid.', 'She's unstable'. 'She's imagining things.' It's the oldest trick in the abuser's playbook.' Tanushree Dutta is telling truth… Somy further stated that although Tanushree's claims might seem irrational, it is possible that she is telling the truth. On Tuesday, Tanushree posted a video on social media where she was seen weeping and asking for help. She was heard saying, 'Guys, I'm being harassed in my own home. I'm being harassed in my own home. I just called the cops. I got worried and called the police. The police came'. 'I'm sick and tired of this harassment!! It's been going on since 2018 #metoo Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya (I got fed up and called the cops). Please someone help me. Do something before it's too late,' Tanushree added. Tanushree Dutta on receiving threats like Sushant Singh Rajput In her interview with TV9, Tanushree Dutta also mentioned the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, saying that what happened to him is now happening to her. She stated, 'The people who are after me are connected to Nana Patekar and his Bollywood associates. They are the ones who have sent people to follow me. I suspect them. People would come to the hotels where I was staying and knock on my room door to harass me. On several occasions, I was even poisoned, and attempts were made to kill me by making me ill – but I survived.' Tanushree Dutta further said, 'The maid who worked in my house was also involved, as she used to mix something in my food. Because of that, my health kept deteriorating. I would remain unconscious for 17–18 hours at a stretch. They tried to drive me insane and kill me.' In an interview to News18 , Dutta urges the government to provide her security. 'This mafia is huge and dangerous, and I fear for my life just like Sushant must have', said the actress.

Maalik Worldwide Lifetime Box Office: Rajkummar Rao's actioner ends as a failure with closing business of Rs 33 crore globally
Maalik, which arrived in cinemas on July 11, 2025, starred Rajkummar Rao as the main lead. Directed by Pulkit, the gangster drama couldn't perform at its best in theaters. The movie has finally ended its theatrical run after being crashed amid the Saiyaara wave. Maalik has failed at the box office while grossing Rs 33 crore globally. Maalik earns a lifetime business of Rs 33.25 crore worldwide Co-produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, Maalik collected Rs 30 crore gross at the Indian box office. The Rajkummar Rao starrer earned Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) overseas. The lifetime business of Pulkit's directorial stood at Rs 33.25 crore in the global markets as it concluded its theatrical run. Particulars Gross Collection of Maalik India Rs 30 crore Overseas Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) Worldwide Rs 33.25 crore Maalik clashed with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan, lost screens to Saiyaara in India Maalik locked horns with two movies during its release, i.e. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan and Superman. It also ran parallel to Dino, Jurassic World: Rebirth and F1: The Movie. While Rajkummar Rao's movie had a decent start in India, it later lost screens to Saiyaara, which entered the box office market on July 18, 2025. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer opened at Rs 21.5 crore on Friday. Pulkit's helmer couldn't recover its production costs either. Also starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Maalik's failure suggests that it has emerged as a flop at the box office. Rajkummar Rao was previously seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf earlier this year, which performed relatively better than Maalik. What's next for Rajkummar Rao? Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Rajkummar Rao has been roped in for Ujjwal Nikam biopic, which will be directed by Avinash Arun. "The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer," revealed a source close to the development. Disclaimer: The box office figures are compiled from various sources and our research. The figures can be approximate, and Pinkvilla does not make any claims about the authenticity of the data. However, they are adequately indicative of the box-office performance of the films in question.

Why Did Kiran Dubey Disappear From TV After Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi? Actor Reveals
Last Updated: Actor Kiran Dubey spoke about her long break from TV after starring in key roles in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. Veteran actress Kiran Dubey opened up about her absence from television after her roles in the iconic shows like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii." Sharing her journey, she reflected on the reasons behind stepping away from the spotlight and how the decision shaped her personal and professional life. In an exclusive interview with IANS, Kiran revealed that she wanted to take some time to explore herself and to understand herself better. When asked about her sudden disappearance from the industry despite being part of iconic shows, the actress stated, 'Yes, I've done many shows, including some of the top ones. But I've always felt that my life should be a priority. I wanted to take some time to explore myself—my life and my spirituality—and to understand myself better. After working nonstop for nearly a decade, I felt it was necessary to step back for a while." Kiran Dubey also shared what inspired her to make a comeback after so many years. '5th September is a very special film. It's actually the first Bollywood film made entirely in Uttarakhand. While many films have been shot there, this one is written, directed, and produced by Kunal Malla, a native of Uttarakhand and an educationist. It was a blessing to work with such a talented cast—Sanjay Mishra ji, Brijendra Kala ji, Kavin Dave, Deepraj Rana, Sarika Singh, and Kunal himself. New talents like Malleha Malla and Rishabh are also part of the film." 'I play the school therapist, a character with multiple shades, which makes it a very beautiful and important role. Though the screen time is limited, the depth of the character is truly meaningful. This is my first Hindi film, and it's one of the reasons I've returned to Mumbai," revealed Kiran Dubey.
