India Today11-07-2025
Ajay Devgn is all set to revisit his comic roots with the much-anticipated 'Son of Sardaar 2'. The trailer was unveiled on Friday, introducing Mrunal Thakur as the new female lead, promising viewers a hearty dose of chaotic humour and misadventures.Reactions to the trailer have been mixed. While many fans expressed excitement about Devgn's return to comedy, others couldn't help but miss Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha, who starred in the original. Some even questioned the necessity of reviving the franchise over a decade later. One fan wrote, "To be frank comedy and dance and these histrionics don't suit you. You look clumsy and jaded. Stick to action and thrillers. Frank opinion as a fan (sic)".

Another wrote, "Sona ko hi Lena tha aur sanjubaba no one can matching him (sic)."
The trailer kicks off on a humorous note, with Ajay Devgn's character addressing an elderly woman as 'Bebe'—only to be caught off guard as she launches into a pole dance, eventually collapsing in a comical twist. This opening gag sets the tone for what appears to be a classic comedy of errors.Beyond the laughs, the film also seems to weave in elements of patriotism. A portion of the trailer focusses on the life of an Army officer, with Ajay's character taking a cheeky jab at Pakistan, remarking that they 'drop bombs in our country'. The dialogue hints at the film's attempt to blend slapstick humour with timely commentary. Helmed by Vijay Kumar Arora, 'Son of Sardaar 2' boasts a star-studded ensemble, including Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and the late Mukul Dev. The film is presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, under the banners of Devgn Films and Son Of Sardaar 2 Limited, with Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande serving as producers.The film is slated for release on July 25. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel is expected to chart a new course rather than picking up from where the 2012 original left off.The first 'Son of Sardaar', which hit cinemas in 2012, featured Devgn opposite Sonakshi Sinha, and included notable performances by Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawla, with a special cameo by Salman Khan. The film was released alongside Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', yet managed to perform well at the box office.- EndsMust Watch

Smriti Irani shuts down retirement buzz: Career does not even start at 49

Smriti Irani, who held various significant roles within the Union Cabinet during her political journey, sparked a retirement buzz when she announced her comeback on the screen with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The actor-politician put the buzz to rest and said 49 is not the age to exclusively to India Today, she said, "Who retires at 49. People's careers do not even start at 49. I have been an MP thrice, I have been a minister of three departments. There is still a long way to go."advertisementIrani added, "I do not know when and where the party will turn, what responsibility it will give. I do not know. I know this much that at least through the parliament, I established my ability. I have also done politics of dharnas for 10 years. I have also served a sentence in jail," she said. When asked what prompted her to return to daily soaps after such a long political innings, Irani replied with her trademark candour and humour. She laughed and admitted it might sound childish, but said simply: "My wish."Irani added, "I have always been like this. Look, people don't have a choice. I do. It is not my nature to live life in a subtle way. If you live life from one aspect, then what kind of living is that?"Reflecting on her journey from acting to politics and now returning to the screen, Irani said both media and politics offer platforms to influence change and reflect public sentiment."I also joined politics because I realised that there are many things in our society that need to be noticed by people. Be it through politics or through the media. If you have made your position such that you attract people's attention, you become a reflection of the people, you become the voice of the people, then only a fool would miss such an opportunity," she from a film background herself, Smriti Irani was asked about the backlash over Bollywood's silence on Operation Sindoor. While many questioned why actors remained quiet, Irani emphasised that what truly mattered was the unwavering support of ordinary citizens for the further said that people, as audiences, always have the option to tune out and not watch those actors if they feel hurt by their silence.'If someone is not with the country, and their lack of support offends you, then don't watch them. Because as an ordinary citizen, how can you express your anger (against their silence)? By turning off. It is wrong to say that if an actor did not stand with the Army, nobody stood with the Army. The whole country was standing with its Army," she Irani is making a comeback on screens after a 25-year hiatus and it is with the same show that made her a household name. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 is making a comeback and Irani will be returning as Tulsi Virani.- Ends

When Ravi Kishan admitted stealing money from Temple and father's shop

Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan, active in Bollywood, once confessed that he stole coins from a temple and money from his father's shop. His father, a priest, punished him harshly, shaping Kishan's strength. He will next appear in 'Son of Sardaar 2'. Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan launched his acting journey with a Hindi film and remains active in Bollywood today. Meanwhile, an old interview of Ravi has resurfaced on the internet, where he candidly confessed that during his childhood, he resorted to stealing in temples. Open Confession A few years ago, Ravi appeared on the television show Aap Ki Adalat, where he discussed a variety of topics openly and honestly. During the interview, when host Rajat Sharma asked him about rumors that he had stolen money from a temple and from his father's pocket, he admitted to it without hesitation, speaking candidly about the circumstances and not hiding anything. The Story Behind the Theft When Kishan was asked about stealing money from the temple and his father's shop, he explained that his father was a priest who also ran a milk shop. He said, 'Every Saturday, people used to stick coins on Hanuman ji's forehead, and I felt Hanuman ji was in trouble. So, when I went around, I took 10 paise, 5 paise, or 20 paise. I also took money from the shop. It was wrong, but I felt it was mine.' When his father found out, Kishan said he was beaten badly with a leather strap, and those punishments made him strong. Upcoming Film: 'Son of Sardaar 2' On the work front, Ravi will be next seen in the film 'Son of Sardaar 2'. It is an action comedy film directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn , Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja. It is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film 'Son of Sardaar'. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Mishra and the late Mukul Dev. It will release in theatres in August 2025.

Archana Puran Singh comes out in support of nepotism: 'Bollywood people prefer to work with actors from film families'

Archana Puran Singh recently weighed in on the ongoing nepotism debate, sharing her perspective from personal experience. In a candid conversation with Ajay Devgn on her YouTube channel, she reflected on why filmmakers often place such high value on stardom when casting star kids. Professional habits often begin at home According to her, individuals who grow up in film families typically absorb a sense of discipline and professionalism from an early age. She suggested that this early exposure is valuable for their understanding of the expectations of this industry-whether it is punctuality, behavior on set, or, more importantly, understanding the hierarchy of a film crew. Ajay seemed to agree but added that children from the film industry often learn to keep a stronger line of delineation between acting as a craft and being a star. He meant to say that outsiders sometimes confuse talent with fame without understanding the journey required to hone one's skill. 2025: A year filled with debutante buzz The conversation coincided with a spate of star kid launches in 2025. Junaid Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Ahaan Panday all announced their arrival in the sparkling limelight. Ahaan was especially mentioned in the audience while saying 'Saiyaara', his film, which was a sleeper hit, had won much praise for emotional depth and presence. While the new entrants get mixed reaction online, the whole ruckus has completely blurred the fact that the public is always curious about industry legacies.
