Kajol rates Ajay Devgn a better dancer than Shah Rukh Khan and her reason is hilariously spot-on
In an interview with Mirchi Plus, when asked to rate popular actors on a scale of 1 to 10 as dancers, Kajol responded, "I think Shah Rukh is a good 7-8. I am also a 7-8, and we both try really hard so that we come to 7-8 eventually. Bahut josh ke sath hum 7-8 pe pohach jaate hai. (With a lot of passion, we both come to 7 to 8)."
Her honest take on herself and Shah Rukh Khan, both known more for their screen presence than dance mastery, struck a relatable chord. However, things took an amusing turn when she rated Ajay Devgn a 9, despite his reputation for shying away from elaborate choreography.
'I would say Ajay Devgn is a 9,' she said, before adding the hilariously brilliant reason behind the high score. "He is the smartest actor. He makes sure, if there's a song, its beat should match his walk, so that it looks like he is dancing but in reality he is just walking."
And of course, the undisputed king of dance in her list was none other than Hrithik Roshan. "Hrithik Roshan is definitely a 10. He has proved himself over the years." Kajol's upcoming projects
Kajol is currently seen in Maa, a mythological horror drama directed by Vishal Furia, which has opened to mixed reviews. Following Maa, she will be seen in Sarzameen, an upcoming project from Karan Johar's production banner. In this film, she stars alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is set to release on JioCinema on 25 July.
Kajol will also appear in the high-octane action-thriller Maharagni—Queen of Queens, directed by Charan Tej Uppalapati. The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast that includes Naseeruddin Shah, Prabhu Deva, Jisshu Sengupta, Aditya Seal, and Pramod Pathak.

Sarzameen trailer OUT: Fans impressed by Kajol and Prithviraj, but Ibrahim Ali Khan draws mixed reactions
The trailer of 'Sarzameen', an upcoming Hindi-language political family drama, has dropped — and the internet is already buzzing with reactions. Directed by Karan Sharma, the film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in pivotal roles. Directed by KAyoze Irani, the film is set against the backdrop of national duty and personal loss. 'Sarzameen' explores the emotional and ideological turmoil within a fractured family. Prithviraj plays a hardened army officer whose sense of duty overshadows his empathy for his son, Harman (played by Ibrahim Ali Khan). When Harman unexpectedly joins a radical extremist group and turns against his own country, the narrative unravels into a tense and emotional conflict. Kajol plays the role of Meher, the mother, trapped in the crossfire of ideology and motherhood. Her portrayal, seen briefly in the trailer, is filled with anguish as she pleads with her husband to bring their son back — not as a soldier, but as a father. Fan reactions to the trailer have been mixed. While veterans Kajol and Prithviraj are receiving praise for their intensity and screen presence, viewers remain sceptical about Ibrahim Ali Khan's debut performance. One social media user pointedly noted, 'Notice that there is not a single dialogue of Ibrahim in the trailer? They knew once he opens his mouth, the whole hype will be ruined (sic).' Another commented, 'Ek taraf Kajol aur Prithviraj ki acting building the trailer up, dusri taraf Ibrahim's acting cracking me up. I'm so conflicted (sic).' Despite this, some are holding out hope. 'Kajol + Prithviraj + raw emotion = BLOCKBUSTER loading (sic),' wrote one enthusiastic fan. Others seemed more focused on the film's familiar premise: 'Family vs Nation — most used and tested concept… Trailer looks fine. Will draw conclusions after watching the film (sic).' There were even unexpected takeaways from the trailer. 'I am so ready for romance movie Kajol,' another user tweeted. 'Hit me with angst, romance, love triangles… all the possibilities! (sic)' 'Sarzameen' appears poised to walk the tightrope between patriotic drama and domestic emotion. Whether it strikes a balance remains to be seen — but for now, it has certainly sparked curiosity. The film will arrive on JioHotstar on July 25.

Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju team up for 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit'
Pre-production is currently underway, with principal photography expected to commence by late September or early October. Rumours suggest the film could be a big-budget entertainer with an exciting ensemble cast yet to be revealed. The film marks director Girish AD's next venture before he begins work on Premalu 2, the much-anticipated sequel to his blockbuster hit Premalu. While early reports suggested a delay in the sequel's production, sources now confirm it has not been shelved. The delay stems from a desire to refine the script and ensure the follow-up lives up to the original's success. Premalu, starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju, emerged as one of 2024's biggest Malayalam hits and continues to stream on JioCinema and Aha Telugu. Meanwhile, Mamitha Baiju's rising popularity sees her involved in several high-profile projects, including Dude opposite Pradeep Ranganathan, Jana Nayagan alongside Thalapathy Vijay, and Suriya 46 directed by Venky Atluri. Nivin Pauly also has a packed slate. He plays a significant role in Sarvam Maya, directed by Akhil Sathyan, which is rumoured to release around Christmas 2025. He's also part of Dear Students and Baby Girl, and is reportedly portraying the antagonist in the Tamil action drama Benz. With Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, fans can look forward to a fresh on-screen pairing, a compelling narrative, and the continued magic of Girish AD's storytelling.
