In 1980, Qurbani was released, in which Amitabh Bachchan expressed a strong desire to work. He informed actor-director Late Feroz Khan that he would be available in six months, but the director couldn't wait that long. As a result, the role of Amar went to Vinod Khanna . After its release, Qurbani was declared a blockbuster and became the highest-grossing film of 1980. The film's songs were very popular, and it achieved the highest sales of records and tapes that year. Qurbani was the best-selling soundtrack album in India during the 1980s and the sixth best-selling Bollywood soundtrack of that decade. The Box Office Reception Of Qurbani
Made on budget of Rs 2.5 crore , this film went on to earn over Rs 25 crore at the box office. The film ran successfully in packed theaters for straight three months without removing or decreasing any shows. The action-thriller flick was directed by and starred Feroz Khan. It also featured notable actors such as Zeenat Aman, Amjad Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Aruna Irani, Amrish Puri, and Kader Khan in prominent roles.
Later, it was remade in Tamil as Viduthalai in 1986 by K. Balaji . In this version, superstar Rajinikanth took on Feroz Khan's role, while Dr. Vishnuvardhan played Vinod Khanna's character. The film was shot in the United States but did not receive the same reception as Qurbani and ended up being an average hit.

R Madhavan's Aap Jaisa Koi OTT release date out. When and where to watch romantic drama
In a world of grand romantic gestures and sweeping declarations of love, Aap Jaisa Koi offers something quieter—yet far more real. The upcoming Netflix romantic drama , starring R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh , dives deep into the heart of relationships where love isn't always about sparks flying, but about understanding, compromise, and equality. Set to premiere on July 11, the film promises a slow-burn love story that challenges conventional ideas of compatibility and connection. Plot of Madhavan's Aap Jaisa Koi Aap Jaisa Koi follows the story of Srirenu , a soft-spoken and traditional Sanskrit teacher, and Madhu , a spirited and independent French instructor. Their worlds couldn't be more different—but that's exactly where the story begins. As they navigate their budding romance, they are met with societal expectations and family resistance. But instead of relying on the usual romantic tropes, the film chooses to explore how two very different people can build a relationship based on mutual respect and shared emotional space. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dharmatic (@dharmaticent) The film asks a central question: What does true compatibility look like when people come from completely different backgrounds? It's not just about liking the same movies or having the same taste in food—it's about seeing eye-to-eye on values like respect, independence, and emotional equality. Aap Jaisa Koi Trailer Directed by Vivek Soni, Aap Jaisa Koi is not your typical Bollywood love story . The trailer hints at gentle moments, thoughtful silences, and a quiet chemistry that slowly builds over time. The idea of 'barabari wala pyaar'—love rooted in equality—sits at the core of the narrative. It reflects the emotional journey of people learning to meet each other halfway, even when their views of life, love, and family don't always match. Madhavan brings his signature charm to the role of Srirenu, capturing the inner conflict of a man caught between tradition and personal desire. Fatima Sana Shaikh, on the other hand, plays Madhu with ease and spark, embodying a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say it out loud. Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the Dharma Productions banner, the film is penned by Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa. Alongside Madhavan and Fatima, the film features performances by Sachin Kavetham and Manish Chaudhari, adding more emotional texture to the story.

Meet actor, who was expelled from school due to Shah Rukh Khan, worked as content writer, now owns Rs 245 crore; His name is...
There are only a few actors who have the same level of energy both on-screen and off-screen. Born into a Sindhi family in Mumbai, this actor's grandmother was an actress in Lahore, Pakistan, and even appeared in Raj Kapoor's film Boot Polish in 1954. Interestingly, his parents never considered pursuing a career in acting. However, his maternal aunt, Sunita, married actor Anil Kapoor, making him the cousin of Sonam Kapoor. You must have guessed by now who this actor is! We are talking about actor Ranveer Singh. His entry into Bollywood was not easy. It was difficult for him to get into movies. Though he was a die-hard fan of acting and dancing, he used to participate in several school plays and debates. Why did Ranveer Singh get expelled from school? One day, in his school classroom, he was listening to the song ' Chaiyya Chaiyya' from Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora's film ' Dil Se '. When teachers got to know about this, he was suspended from school. How did Ranveer Singh get into Bollywood? Ranveer Singh completed his Bachelor's in Arts degree in Telecommunications from Indiana University Bloomington in 2008. At the university, he decided to take acting classes and took up theatre as his minor. He worked for a few years in an advertising company as a copywriter, with agencies like O&M and J. Walter Thompson. Ranveer Singh has also worked as an assistant director but left it to pursue acting. Singh then decided to send his portfolio to the directors. For this, he would go for all kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for minor roles. He had once said, 'Everything was so bleak. It was very frustrating. There were times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not.' How did Ranveer Singh get his first role? It was 2010 when Ranveer Singh auditioned for a lead role in YRF's Band Baaja Baaraat. Aditya Chopra was impressed with his audition, and he was confirmed to play Bittoo Sharma, who was opposite Anushka Sharma. Life changed for Ranveer soon after that as he signed movies like Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Lootera, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Gunday, Dil Dhadakne Do, Bajirao Mastani, to name a few. He became a superstar. What is Ranveer Singh's Net Worth? According to The Times of India, CNBC TV18, and ABP Live , Ranveer Singh's fee has increased to Rs 50 crore after the success of his film 83. His net worth is reportedly around Rs 245 crore. Ranveer, who became a father to a daughter last year, will be seen in Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar. The spy-actioner will be released in December.
