Did you know Salman Khan hesitated to romance Sonam Kapoor on screen in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo due to bond with Anil Kapoor?
may be known for his effortless charm on screen, but even the superstar had his reservations when it came to romancing in the 2015 blockbuster . The reason? A deep-rooted family bond. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A surprising revelation In what was a surprising revelation, both Sonam and director shared how Salman hesitated to take on the role—mainly because of his long-standing friendship with Sonam's father, . What followed was months of convincing, candid conversations, and ultimately, a pairing that became one of the film's many highlights. Salman Khan's awkwardness According to a report published in News18, Sonam admitted that Salman was initially hesitant to work with her in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Given his long-standing friendship with her father, Anil Kapoor—with whom he shared screen space in films like Biwi No. 1 and No Entry—Salman found the idea of romancing his friend's daughter on screen quite awkward. A whole lot of convincing It reportedly took the superstar nearly five months to come on board for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. He later revealed that he was initially unwilling to work with Sonam Kapoor, but director Sooraj Barjatya eventually convinced him. Salman explained that the romance in Sooraj's films has a unique tone, which made the role challenging—but added that Sonam was the perfect fit for the character. On her part, Sonam had no reservations about working with Khan. She shared that she thoroughly enjoyed the experience, adding that she had grown up watching his films and shared a familial bond with him. She also mentioned her familiarity with his family, including his father, . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Prem Ratan Dhan Payo became the second-highest-grossing film of 2015 and marked Salman Khan's fourth collaboration with Rajshri Productions. The hit partnership previously delivered blockbusters like Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994), and Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999). Director Sooraj Barjatya revealed that he initially narrated the script of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo to Salman Khan without mentioning who the female lead would be. He shared that he was looking for a fresh face, and after watching Raanjhanaa, he felt Sonam Kapoor was the perfect choice for the role. When director Sooraj Barjatya finally showed Sonam Kapoor's photo to Salman Khan, the actor was taken aback. Barjatya recalled that Salman looked at him and said he needed time to think it over. A month went by before he gave a nod. Salman was reportedly concerned about the age gap, Sonam's youthful appearance, and her height. Having watched her grow up, it was initially difficult for him to imagine romancing her on screen.

Film shootings come to halt in Hyderabad due to workers strike
Last Updated: Hyderabad, Aug 5 (PTI) Most of the film shootings in Hyderabad came to a halt with workers demanding a 30 per cent wage hike. The representatives of the workers on Tuesday met labour department officials regarding their demands. Alexander, a leader of the workers, told PTI Videos that the hike is not 30 per cent at once, but 10 per cent annually, which is due this year. However, the hike has not been effected since the last four months, he alleged. Damodar Prasad, Secretary of Telugu Film Chamber, told PTI that the workers 'unilaterally" decided two days ago to work only for producers, who pay them the increased wages though talks are on going with the involvement of the labour department. He observed that the Telugu film industry already pays higher wages to union workers than other state film industries. The stance of the producers is that talks would continue if the workers 'unconditionally" resume work, he said. Efforts were on to end the stalemate, he said, expressing confidence that the issue would be resolved soon. Producer C Kalyan told reporters that several film producers met superstar Chiranjeevi, who suggested that the issue be resolved harmoniously in another two-three days.

Kajol Channels Tanuja On 50th Birthday, Greets Paps In Classic Black And White Saree
Kajol turned 50 on August 5 and looked like a spitting image of her mother Tanuja as she greeted paps in a white and black saree with a retro hairdo. Kajol turned 50 on Tuesday, August 5, and marked the milestone with grace, style and nostalgia. The actress stepped out of her Mumbai residence to greet the paparazzi waiting outside, and her look immediately caught attention. Draped in a classic white saree with a shimmering black border and a black blouse, Kajol bore a striking resemblance to her legendary mother, veteran actress Tanuja. Her look was completed with a retro middle-parted ponytail and minimal makeup, allowing her natural features to shine. She wore statement earrings and a ring, while keeping her accessories subtle. Kajol's warm smile and confident wave to the cameras made fans nostalgic for the golden era of cinema with many calling her a spitting image of Tanuja from her younger days. The visual homage to her mother didn't go unnoticed, and social media was quick to draw comparisons, with fans posting side-by-side images of Tanuja in her youth and Kajol's birthday look. Earlier in the day, Kajol's husband, actor Ajay Devgn, took to Instagram to post a birthday message filled with love and humour. Sharing two monochrome photos of Kajol — one from her youth and another recent click — Ajay wrote, 'Could say a lot but you would still roll your eyes. So… happy birthday, favourite Kajol." In February, Kajol had also shared a birthday post for Ajay, joking, 'All the cool people were born in August, but we don't mind wishing you a happy birthday 😉 …. thank u for always being older than me." Kajol and Ajay Devgn tied the knot in 1999 and are parents to two children – Nysa and Yug. On the work front, Kajol was last seen in the supernatural thriller Maa, while Ajay's latest release Son of Sardaar 2 hit theatres recently. Kajol's upcoming project Maharagni: Queen of Queens is also generating buzz. First Published: August 05, 2025, 22:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
