After delivering 17 flops, this actor is now bringing sequel to a film whose previous part was a major flop; He is..., movie is...
According to Bollywood Hungama, Aftab Shivdasani has delivered 17 flop films in his career. The sequel he is currently working on belongs to a film whose previous part also failed at the box office. We are talking about the Masti franchise. Director Indra Kumar released the first film, Masti, in 2004, which featured Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Ajay Devgn alongside Aftab Shivdasani. The film was a box office hit. In 2013, the makers released the second instalment, Grand Masti, which was also well received and became a superhit. However, the third part, Great Grand Masti , released in 2016, flopped at the box office.
Which was the last flop film of Aftab Shivdasani?'
Great Grand Masti had an ensemble cast of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Shreyas Talpade, Urvashi Rautela, Shraddha Das, Mishti Chakraborty, Pooja Bose and Sanjay Mishra. The censor board made 23 deletions from the film including some dialogue deletions and a complete scene and gave the film an A certificate. The movie, made on a budget of Rs 50 crore, only earned Rs 19 crore.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, the makers have prepared to bring the fourth part of this franchise, which is going to be titled 'Masti 4'. Aftab will be seen in this film once again. Along with him, Vivek and Ritesh will also be seen in this franchise once again.
When will Masti 4 release?
This time, Indra Kumar is not directing the film, but Milap Milan Zaveri will take up this responsibility. Milap has previously directed films like 'Satyamev Jayate' and 'Marjaavaan'. In the report, quoting the source, it was also told that the shooting of this film is going on at a fast pace and the makers want to release it in mid-2026.
Aftab Shivdasani shared some fun moments from the set on Instagram. His post included a picture of the Masti 4 clapboard, a group shot with Riteish and Milap Zaveri and a candid moment of the trio laughing together.

Yes, you read that right—the Kumar family has officially acquired the title of the richest Bollywood family, surpassing some of the biggest names in Bollywood. Who was Gulshan Kumar? Gulshan Kumar was born on 5 May 1951 in New Delhi. He was the son of a fruit juice seller in Daryaganj. Leaving studies after class ten, he helped in his family's small business and later developed a keen interest in music. Initially, he sold pirated Bollywood cassettes to meet public demand, but Kumar dreamed bigger. In 1983, he founded Super Cassettes Industries Ltd. (T-Series), which revolutionized the Indian music and film industry. What did Gulshan Kumar own? Bhushan Kumar, son of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, is now the head of the family and business.

Kaun Banega Crorepati Throwback: When late actor Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks tried to help CID team answer question worth Rs 6,40,000
Kaun Banega Crorepati has been one of the longest-running reality shows in India, enjoyed by all age groups. Hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, the show has seen 16 successful seasons, and now the 17th season will be launched soon. Ahead of the release of the 17th season, let's revisit the time when CID actors Shivaji Satam, Dayanand Shetty and Aditya Srivastava graced the show as guests. During their presence, the CID team also sought help from their co-star and late actor Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks. When late actor Dinesh Phadnis tried to help CID team When Shivaji Satam aka ACP Pradyuman and Aditya Srivastava aka Abhijeet were sitting on the hot seat, Amitabh Bachchan asked them the 8th question worth Rs 6,40,000. The question was: According to the Indian epics, who among the following did not meet his death at the hands of another? A - Vidura B- Kumbhakarna C- Shravan Kumar D- Putana Correct Answer: Vidura As Satam and Srivastava were sceptical about the right answer, they decided to seek help from their friend and used a 'Phone a friend' lifeline and dialled Dinesh Phadnis aka Fredericks. Big B called Phadnis, but the latter assumed that Dayanand and Aditya were joking with him about being Amitabh Bachchan. The veteran actor informed Dinesh about ACP Pradyuman and Abhijeet being unable to answer the question. Dinesh had 30 seconds, and by the time Aditya explained the question, the time ended without Dinesh answering the question. Shivaji Satam and Aditya Srivastava reached the conclusion that option A- Vidura is the correct answer. The answer was right, and so the CID team won Rs 6,40,000. The episode ended with this question. Before Aditya joined Satam on the hot seat, Dayanand Shetty was seen sitting with the veteran actor and answering questions by Amitabh Bachchan. Like the CID team, several other celebrity guests were seen on the show playing the interesting quiz with Mr Bachchan. Speaking about the upcoming season, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is set to premiere from August 11 at 9 PM on Sony TV.

Before Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday became a star, this actor ruled the box office; he's still a superstar after 44 years, his name is...
Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda have already broken multiple records, their big Bollywood launch directed by Mohit Suri and backed by none other than Yash Raj Films. For a pair of newcomers, they couldn't have asked for a louder debut than Saiyaara. The film raked in Rs 21 crore on day one and crossed the Rs 100 crore mark within just four days of release. To date, Saira has earned Rs 109 crore, making it not just Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever but also one of 2025's most surprising box office storms. Who is Ahaan Pandey, and why is he being compared to Sanjay Dutt? Social media can't stop drawing parallels between Ahaan's look in Saira and Sanjay Dutt's iconic debut in Rocky (1981). While the eras and aesthetics are vastly different, the vibe, emotional yet stylish romantic leads on a bullet bike, has fans talking. 'Ahaan reminds me of young Sanjay in Rocky,' says one fan, while others are busy posting side-by-side comparisons of the bike sequences from both films. Is the comparison valid? Well, Rocky was made by Sanjay's father, Sunil Dutt and was considered a grand launchpad. Saiyaara carries a similar launch weight, produced by YRF and directed by an established filmmaker. Budgeted at Rs 39 crore, Saira covered its entire cost by day two. Visually, the comparisons are striking. Sanjay rocked the bell-bottoms and high-neck sweaters of the '80s; Ahaan sports the soft-boy Gen-Z aesthetic with brooding eyes and emotional vulnerability. Both styles scream 'romantic hero of the decade,' just in different languages. What's the film about, and why is everyone watching it? Saira is an emotional, musical romantic drama—very Mohit Suri. The film positions Ahaan as a soft-spoken hero dealing with heartbreak and healing. His chemistry with Anit Padda is being praised, and the songs have already found viral traction. That, combined with a stylised narrative and social media buzz, explains its supercharged success. With theatres conquered, Saira is now gearing up for its OTT release. The digital rights have already been picked up (platform details awaited), and fans are already queuing up for repeat watches online.
