Kajol on Ajay Devgn's clash with YRF over Son of Sardaar: I felt helpless
"Change is change, it is neither good nor bad. It is written somewhere that change is eternal. It is the only thing which is constant," she added.The controversy started when Devgn Films, formerly known as Ajay Devgn FFilms (ADF), filed a complaint in the Competition Commission Of India (CCI) alleging that YRF used its dominant position in the market to get maximum screens for 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. Ajay's production house had mentioned that it resulted in 'Son of Sardaar' not finding enough screens.Kajol was recently seen in Vishal Furia's 'Maa'. The mythological-horror was co-produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. India Today, in its review of 'Maa', wrote, "The gesture of crediting the cast and crew alongside their mothers' names was a touching tribute. And the use of Jubin Nautiyal's 'Humnava Mere' to underscore the mother-daughter bond was also quite a masterstroke. The haunting melody not only amplified their relationship but also became a thematic beat for the film."The film released on June 27.The trailer of Kajol's upcoming action-thriller 'Sarzameen' was recently released. The JioHotstar movie also features Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. It will be available for streaming from July 25.- EndsMust Watch

This actor played role of Bollywood's scariest villain till date in this 1998 film, actress played double role, has IMDb rating of 6.8, movie is…, his name is…
If we talk about a dangerous villain, then today's generation will probably call a scary face a dreadful and terrifying villain, but people of the 90s know who was that villain of that era whose face and look were very normal but he created such terror with his expressions and style that even after the film was over, the fear did not go away from the mind. 1998 Action Thriller Dushman Here we are talking about actor Ashutosh Rana, who played the character of Gokul Pandit in 1998 film 'Dushman,' starring Kajol.' Apart from Kajol, Sanjay Dutt was also there. In this film, Ashutosh Rana played his character of Gokul Pandit in such a way that it would create fear in your hearts and minds. Ashutosh Rana brought such life to the character of Gokul with his acting and performance that he became one of the most dreaded villains of Bollywood. Even today, on hearing the name of Gokul Pandit, that devilish face flashes before the eyes. Kajol Played Double Role Kajol was in a double role in the film, which revolves around two sisters, Sonia and Naina. When Sonia is murdered in the film, Naina decides to take revenge. Sanjay Dutt, who played the character of blind veteran, helps Kajol in this film and both of them fight against Gokul Pandit. Later, Naina sets a trap for Gokul and attempts to kill him, but Gokul restrains her and tries to assault her like he did with her sister. Suraj comes to her house and confronts Gokul, but he gets stabbed in the process. Naina eventually breaks free and shoots Gokul fatally. More About Dushman At 44th Filmfare Awards, 'Dushman' took home the Best Villain award (Rana) and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Tanvi Azmi). Additionally, Kajol was nominated for Best Actress for her role in the ceremony, but she won the award for her performance in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' The film has an IMDb rating of 6.8, which is currently available for viewing on Prime Video.

EXCLUSIVE: YRF to launch Saiyaara trailer on July 8; Mohit Suri says, 'No love story can work without music'
Over the last one month, YRF has launched multiple songs from the Mohit Suri directed Saiyaara, which marks the launch pad of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The title track has gained momentum and is at present topping the music charts, creating curiosity around this intense love story. With less than 2 weeks to go for the release, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Aditya Chopra and team Saiyaara are all set to launch the theatrical trailer of the film on July 8, 2025. A source close to the development confirms that the trailer cut is locked and the makers will unleash it in a grand may on Tuesday. 'It's a trailer that expands the world of Saiyaara further to the audiences, and opens up the core conflict of the film. The entire team at YRF is confident to leave a mark with this impactful trailer cut, leading to an aggressive marketing campaign for a July 18, 2025 release,' revealed a source. Opening up about the trailer, director Mohit Suri informed that it's a tough ask. 'There is no fixed pattern on how you do it. With thrillers, it is difficult to cut a trailer, but you don't face that problem with love stories usually. Surprisingly, with Saiyaara too it was a tough ask, as all said and done, it's a newcomers' film, and not some larger-than-life set up. We have tried to convey the story and make the characters relatable for the audience,' said Mohit. He further added, 'Back in 1995, everyone wanted a Raj in their life. Why? Because he was identifiable for both– the girls and the guys. That aside, music also makes a big difference in a love story, and our trailer has a lot of music. I also feel, no love story can work without music.' Talking of Saiyaara, the film introduces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda to the showbiz. The film is set to release on July 18. 2025. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

Kajol says Shah Rukh Khan once told her to learn acting; recalls feeling ‘exhausted and burnt out' at 18: ‘I didn't want to keep doing roles where I had to…'
Although Indian cinema has long had iconic on-screen couples like Raj Kapoor–Nargis Dutt, Dilip Kumar–Vyjayanthimala, Prem Nazir–Sheela, MG Ramachandran (MGR)–Saroja Devi, Amitabh Bachchan–Rekha, Kamal Haasan–Sridevi and Mohanlal–Shobana, among others, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol remain a fan favourite and arguably one of the most adored acting duos of all time. From Baazigar (1993), Karan Arjun (1995) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), and My Name Is Khan (2010), the two have shared the screen multiple times, delivering countless unforgettable moments. Off-screen too, the duo share a warm and affectionate bond. Recently, Kajol spoke candidly about her longtime friend, highlighting his relentless work ethic in becoming Bollywood's Baadshah. 'Shah Rukh is a huge star. The films we did together were massively successful. I think we have been good for each other on screen. I give him as much credit as he gives me as far as the movies are concerned. As far as his career is concerned, he has worked so hard to be where he is today. If he calls himself 'King Khan', he has worked very hard to be there. The credit for his career belongs to him,' she shared during a chat with The Lallantop. Kajol also recalled a piece of advice Shah Rukh gave her early in her career. Though she didn't grasp its full meaning at the time, it eventually resonated with her. 'Shah Rukh used to tell me, 'Baby, you better learn how to act. This habit of giving your all in every shot will wear you out'. I, of course, didn't listen and kept going. But the kind of films I was doing at that time were heavy, the best example being Udhaar Ki Zindagi (1994). I think I was 18 or something while doing that movie. After the film was completed, I was exhausted, and I understood what Shah Rukh said. For every shot in every film, you can't afford to give… I mean, you can't be so into the role that you give your 300% to it. You are basically giving your soul away then,' she shared. Because of these perfectionist tendencies, Kajol revealed she felt burnt out after just four films. 'I was tired. I told my mother, 'I don't want to do films any more'. I was burnt out at 18. I said I didn't want to keep doing roles where I had to cry constantly or invest so much of myself. It was only after that phase that I started learning, as SRK called it, the technique of acting.'
