'She never forgets family.'
Perhaps the most touching moment came when Parineeti was asked to share something lesser known about Priyanka; she quoted, 'Many people know it, but if there's anybody who doesn't know... she lives this crazy, chaotic and glamorous life but she never forgets family and she never ever leaves family behind. I've been here, she wasn't even in town and she messaged me saying, 'Are you there? We need to see each other.'' This glimpse into their bond revealed the emotional connection behind Priyanka's fast-paced lifestyle and her family.
The action-comedy movie 'Heads of State,' which stars John Cena, Idris Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, has officially landed on OTT. The movie is directed by Ilya Naishuller, which blends political satire, buddy comedy, and high-octane espionage into one wild ride.

Double-Meaning Lyrics, Daring Outfit: Mamta Kulkarni 'Item Number' That Raised A Storm In 1995
Last Updated: Mamta Kulkarni's bold 90s song 'Gup Chup Gup Chup' from 'Karan Arjun' stirred protests, dodged bans, and still tops retro playlists, proof that controversy can dance too Who would've thought that a song from nearly three decades ago would still be ruffling feathers? We're talking about the iconic and controversial number Gup Chup Gup Chup from the 1995 Bollywood blockbuster Karan Arjun. While Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were busy reincarnating and fighting fate, it was Mamta Kulkarni, with her bold moves and bolder lyrics, who stole a fair share of the spotlight and the outrage. The Bollywood Song That Sparked A Storm Set to the raspy, powerful vocals of Ila Arun, the song Gup Chup Gup Chup turned heads not just for its infectious tune but for its eyebrow-raising lyrics. Phrases like Raat kiya ri tune kaisa ghotala (meaning: What wrong thing have you done in the night?) and Aadhe bistar pe woh soya tha, Aadhe pe main bhi so gayi (meaning: He was sleeping on one side of the bed, and I slept on the other side of the bed too) left some viewers stunned, others delighted, and conservative groups absolutely fuming. Back in 1995, critics accused the song of being 'indecent", 'suggestive", and 'a mockery of tradition". Many social groups protested. Women's organisations called for a ban arguing that it insulted Indian culture. TV channels got squeamish and shifted it out of primetime. All this while the audience? They hit repeat. Mamta Kulkarni's Look: Bold, Blingy, And Blamed Clad in an outfit that was daring even by 90s standards, Mamta Kulkarni delivered a performance that was instantly unforgettable and endlessly debated. Her 'item number' status was cemented, but so was the song's reputation as a lightning rod for controversy. The main grievance? That the ghunghat, a veil traditionally seen as a symbol of modesty and respect, was being used as a prop in what some saw as a sultry spectacle. And Yet, A Smashing Hit Ironically, the more people complained, the more people watched. Karan Arjun went on to become the second highest-grossing film of 1995, collecting Rs 25 crore in India and a staggering Rs 36.75 crore globally. And that 'obscene' song? It refused to die. Decades later, it still turns up at retro nights, DJ sets, and—admit it—your nostalgic 90s playlist. Say what you will about Gup Chup Gup Chup, it was bold, bizarre, and blazingly successful. In the ever-spinning world of Bollywood, where outrage often boosts popularity, this song is living proof that sometimes controversy is the best promotion. First Published:

About Bombay Bombay was a Tamil musical drama starring Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala.

Bollywood's perfectionist Aamir Khan is ready to surprise audiences with a fiery new persona in the highly anticipated action saga Coolie. Headlined by South Indian cinema legend Rajinikanth and helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj , the film is being touted as a high-octane spectacle. On Thursday, the creators lifted the curtain on Aamir's character look, and the internet exploded with enthusiasm. First Glimpse of 'Dahaa' Leaves Fans Hypnotised Sun Pictures, the production house behind Coolie, revealed Aamir's look through their official social media handle on X (formerly Twitter). Khan is introduced as 'Dahaa'—a brooding, power-packed personality dressed in a rugged dark vest. Calmly smoking a pipe, sporting a gold watch, his steely gaze and intense screen aura suggest a man of dangerous resolve. Though billed as a cameo appearance, Aamir's presence feels larger than life, and many believe he could deliver a twist that shifts the narrative entirely. — sunpictures (@sunpictures) Social Media Buzz: Fans in Frenzy Fans wasted no time in expressing their amazement and joy.

Admirers described it as a dream team-up, with one fan highlighting the merger of North and South Indian cinematic powerhouses.

Prominent actors like Nagarjuna, Kannada star Upendra, and Shruthi Haasan bring additional weight to the ensemble. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, already a fan favorite for gripping action dramas like Kaithi, Master, and Vikram, is expected to deliver yet another blockbuster. With a jaw-dropping production budget of ₹375 crore, the film ranks among the most ambitious projects ever attempted in Indian cinema. Multilingual Release and a Box Office Showdown Set to release theatrically on August 14, 2025—just in time for India's Independence Day—Coolie will be available in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The trilingual launch aims to capture viewers across the country, uniting audiences from all corners. But the film won't have a solo run. It's poised to clash with YRF's War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. The simultaneous release of these two mega-productions is expected to ignite one of the year's most heated box office battles. A Cultural Crossover Moment Coolie not only promises intense action and high production values but also symbolizes a bridging of regional divides in Indian cinema. The collaboration of North and South Indian stars under one dynamic director signals a broader trend of pan-Indian storytelling. As anticipation builds and more updates are awaited, Aamir Khan's entry as Dahaa has already ensured that Coolie remains firmly in the spotlight.
