Siddharth Anand reacts as netizens compare Saif Ali Khab's Ta Ra Rum Pum with Brad Pitt's F1
And now, Siddharth Anand himself reacted to the same, amid all the praise and memes on his movie. The filmmaker took to his social media handle, Twitter (now X) and wrote, "TaRaRumPum you lovely beast !"
His tweet came as a surprise to the fans and meme pages. One social media user commented, "Way ahead of its time (with raising hands emoji)." Another user wrote, "Ta Ra Rum Pum is your best-directed film to date, and it truly deserves a sequel. I know you're not particularly fond of directing sequels, but if one ever gets made, no other director can do it justice the way you can. Please do consider it. The audience may have failed the film back in 2007, but this time, we'll make sure that its sequel becomes a blockbuster. (with racing car emoji).' A third user wrote, "kya din aa gaya.... Hollywood wale bollywood film ka copy kar rahe (laughing emoji).'
For the unversed, the Saif Ali Khan starrer follows the story of Rajveer Singh (RV), who is a professional stock car racer. His life and career are turned upside down after an accident. It was Siddharth Aanand's second directorial venture after Salaam Namastey! Bankrolled by Yash Raj Films, the movie was a moderate success at the box office, though it won huge viewership with its satellite viewership.
On the other hand, Brad Pitt 's F1 (Formula One) is storming the global box office these days. The sports drama garnered immense praise for its performances, high-stakes thrill moments, and impressive production value.

Box Office: War 2 Telugu states theatrical rights sold for Rs 90 crore, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer acquired by Naga Vamsi
War 2 is among the most anticipated movies of 2025. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer is seen as a front-runner to emerge as the biggest grosser of the year. While the movie is still 5 weeks away from its release, it is making waves for its historic pre-release business. War 2 locks the biggest deal for dubbed films in the Telugu states Pinkvilla learned that Yash Raj Films has inked a landmark deal with Naga Vamsi's Sithara Entertainments for the distribution rights of War 2. Reportedly, the leading South film production and distribution company has acquired the Telugu rights of War 2 to distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at a staggering figure of Rs 90 crore minimum guarantee (MG). Interestingly, this is the biggest deal ever for a dubbed movie in the Telugu states in the history of Indian cinema. It includes theatrical distribution rights for all three versions- Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. War 2 to have a wide release in Telugu states, unlike other dubbed movies Usually, YRF doesn't believe in selling their films outright; however, they are opting for a rare strategy for War 2. The hype around War 2 skyrocketed ever since Jr NTR joined Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. And since then, multiple leading players from the Southern film industries have approached Aditya Chopra to bag its distribution rights. Eventually, the deal got locked with Sithara Entertainment, following multiple weeks of negotiation. The makers believe that the Naga Vamsi company is the right contender to take War 2 to the grassroots of the Telugu heartland. Reportedly, the Ayan Mukerji directorial will not be treated like a regular dubbed movie, but it will be released in mass pockets across APTS like a true-blue local venture. War 2 to have 5 AM premiere shows across the Telugu states Jr NTR, who is playing Agent Vikram in War 2, is among the biggest stars of Telugu cinema. With Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR facing off against each other, the interest among exhibitors is at peak. The makers are planning to capitalise on the hype and Tarak's superstardom by organising a massive 5 AM premiere show of War 2 across the twin states. For the unversed, War 2 marks the entry of Jr NTR to the YRF Spy Universe, which already has bigwigs like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Kiara Advani. Slated to hit the screens on August 14, War 2 is the sixth film in the spy universe, following Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023), and Tiger 3 (2023). The high-stakes deal between YRF and Sithara Entertainments signifies how a Pan-India movie should be marketed and distributed in the most passionate cinema markets. All eyes are now on the reception of War 2. It will be interesting to see whether the much-awaited movie can live up to the expectations or not. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Advice from Brad Pitt for aspiring Hollywood actors Brad urged the young actors on the New Heights podcast to ignore the pressure, which was not present when he first started out. "I like watching what the new generation is coming in with. I like to see what they are up against and the way they negotiate and work their way through it. They enjoy it more," he remarked. "We were more uptight, and it had to be about acting… like, you didn't sell out, you didn't sell out. But now it's like, 'We can be artists in many different arenas, so let's do it and let's enjoy it.' But they also get caught up in 'you have to have a franchise' or 'have to have a superhero.' But I keep saying, 'Don't! Don't! They'll die'," the Formula One star added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Brad made a brief appearance in Deadpool 2, for those who are unaware.
