Content creator and actor Apoorva Mukhija, better known as The Rebel Kid, is steadily carving her space in the entertainment world, from appearing on reality shows like The Traitors to starring in Dharma Productions' Nadaaniyan. In a recent interview, she reflected on her experience working with Khushi Kapoor and addressed the comparisons that followed their debut. 'Khushi works hard for it, she deserves it' Speaking about her co-star, Apoorva had nothing but admiration for Khushi Kapoor. 'Khushi is one of the sweetest people I have met. She has an insane work ethic,' she told Screen. According to Apoorva, Khushi's quiet drive was visible from the beginning. 'Even when we were speaking on the sets of Nadaaniyan, she was like, 'I hope people start taking me seriously after this film.' There are people who really want something; she is one of those people, and I am sure there are great things coming up for her. She deserves it; she works hard for it.' 'She'd shoot for 16 hours and still go to the gym' Apoorva recalled their long shooting hours and how Khushi remained focused throughout. 'We used to shoot for 14–16 hours, and she used to still go to the gym; that's commendable. What I picked up from her was work ethic,' she noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Though Nadaaniyan received a mixed response from audiences, Apoorva feels Khushi handled the feedback with grace and maturity.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan's Film Sees Growth
New Delhi: Filmmaker Anurag Basu's latest release, Metro In Dino, is slowly gaining momentum at the box office. What's Happening After a modest start with Rs 3.04 crore on its opening day, Metro In Dino showed growth on its first Saturday, collecting Rs 6.33 crore. This takes the film's total earnings to Rs 9.5 crore so far. The romantic drama features an ensemble cast that includes Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal. On Saturday, the film saw a better turnout, especially during evening and night shows, with average occupancy touching 47% during the night. Background While the opening day numbers are higher than Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a... Metro, which earned Rs 87 lakh on its first day, Metro In Dino has not matched the opening figures of his later work. Basu's last theatrical release Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, opened with Rs 8.57 crore. The current film has also underperformed when compared to Sara Ali Khan's last release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which had an opening of Rs 5.49 crore. Metro In Dino is also facing stiff competition at the box office. Jurassic World Rebirth opened strongly with Rs 9 crore and continues to attract audiences.

Raid 2 has made Rs 173 crore, while Sitaare Zameen Par could soon join the top performers if it maintains its current pace.

Rajinikanth's Coolie Took Over My Life For 2 Years, Says Lokesh Kanagaraj: 'No Friends, No Family'
Last Updated: Lokesh Kanagaraj reveals he spent two years doing nothing but working on Rajinikanth's Coolie, calling it his most intense and personal filmmaking journey yet. One of the most anticipated Tamil films in recent times, Coolie—featuring an explosive cast including Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, and Shruti Haasan—is shaping up to be a potential box office juggernaut. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the high-octane action thriller is slated to hit the big screen on August 14, and expectations are sky-high. For Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie isn't just another film—it's a passion project that has consumed the last two years of his life. In fact, the filmmaker has gone so deep into the making of this cinematic spectacle that he has even stepped away from social media to focus entirely on the film. In a recent conversation with Filmyscoops, Lokesh got candid about his personal sacrifices while working on Coolie. 'The last 2 years all I did was Coolie. No family, no friends, and nothing. My 36 and 37 years of life, all I did was Coolie," he shared, underscoring the intense dedication he brought to the project. And that commitment seems to be paying off already. According to Pinkvilla, the film has made history even before its release by sealing the biggest overseas rights deal ever for a Tamil film. Hamsini Entertainment has acquired the international distribution rights for a record-breaking Rs. 86 crore, signaling massive anticipation across global markets. A source close to the development added, 'This is the biggest deal of all time for a film from the Tamil Film Industry. The makers have procured record MGs despite a clash with War 2." Adding to the frenzy is a special appearance by Bollywood icon Aamir Khan, who will be seen in a spectacular cameo in Coolie. But the collaboration doesn't end there. Aamir has officially confirmed that he is set to team up with Lokesh Kanagaraj for a full-fledged superhero film after wrapping up his next project with Rajkumar Hirani. 'Yes, it is (a superhero film). I am very excited for the film because Lokesh is an amazing director," Aamir told Pinkvilla. 'The film will start next year in the second half, once I am done with the Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) film. I think we will start shooting for it in September 2026." With a dream cast, a visionary director, and already record-shattering deals in place, Coolie is poised to be not just a cinematic event, but a cultural milestone in Tamil and Indian cinema.
