In an old interview given to The News Minute, Yash had said- 'I had run away from my home. When I came to Bangalore, I was scared as soon as I reached there. Such a big, scary city.

I knew that if I went back, my parents would never let me come back here.' Did you know Yash served tea to earn money?
You won't believe, Rocky bhai once used to serve tea for income. Yash had said- 'I started doing theatre. Luckily someone took me to theatre. I didn't know anything about it. I started earning money backstage. From serving tea to everything else. Initially, I also helped a director to get entry in Kannada film industry.'

Junaid Khan chooses Sitaare Zameen Par over Rs 100 crore film, Aamir Khan jokes he is a 'nepo kid'
Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan team up for a funny promo. It is for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. Junaid jokes about rejecting a big film offer. He chose to premiere his father's movie on YouTube. Aamir recreates scenes from 'Andaz Apna Apna'. He also makes fun of his past films. The promo includes a cameo by Azad Rao Khan. What happens when a superstar dad meets his cheeky, aspiring actor son in a parody promo? A lot of laughs, a little trolling, and some nostalgic nods. Aamir Khan and Junaid Khan come together in a fun new promo for Sitaare Zameen Par, where Junaid reveals he rejected a ₹100 crore film to premiere his father's movie on YouTube—for just Rs 1100. Aamir will be seen recreating scenes from his 1994 classic Andaz Apna Apna as a tribute. The promo will also feature filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi watching RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par online. In one scene, Aamir Khan adds a twist to an iconic Andaz Apna Apna dialogue originally delivered by Deven Verma. The actor also pokes fun at himself, referencing past flops like Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Mock regret and ' nepo kid ' jibe In the promo, Aamir humorously reflects on past choices, saying he once followed his son's advice to do a multi-starrer and ended up doing Thugs of Hindostan, which brought him endless criticism. He adds that remaking Forrest Gump as Laal Singh Chaddha cost him both respect and money. Junaid is set to unveil his quirky plan to bring Sitaare Zameen Par to audiences at home. In the promo, the Loveyapa actor proudly tells his father, 'Aapko sun kar khushi hogi pitaji, maine Rs 100 crore ka offer reject kar diya hai. Aur aapki film Sitaare Zameen Par ko YouTube par daal diya hai sirf Rs 100 mein.' Aamir, taken aback, reacts in mock disbelief and jokingly calls his son a 'nepo kid.' The parody promo will wrap up with a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao's son, Azad Rao Khan, making a brief appearance at the end of the video.

Will Karnataka's INR 200 cap on tickets redefine cinema viewing?
Even as the film industry debates the potential impact of the 'partly executed' INR 200 ceiling on movie ticket prices in Karnataka — from concerns over revenue and theatre viability to hopes of increased accessibility and support for Kannada cinema — the bigger question remains: Will the government implement it? The order, issued on July 15 and published in the Official Gazette, had a 15-day window for public objections and suggestions. That window closed on July 29, yet there has been no official update or notification as of press time, leaving the industry and audience in suspense. Uniform ₹200 pricing isn't feasible for us: Multiplex 'For a multiplex chain, implementing a flat ₹200 price across all seats isn't practical,' says Jayanth Gowda, a senior floor in-charge at a cinema chain. 'We've applied it only to standard seats. Premium and recliner sections still follow a different pricing model.' He notes that the financial implications are substantial. 'Reducing all tickets to ₹200 affects revenue, staffing, and the share that goes to filmmakers. It could impact salaries and long-term production planning,' he shares. Tickets will now be affordable to all: Raj B Shetty Actor-director Raj B Shetty sees the cap as a positive step. 'People can now afford theatres. If a regular Bengalurean can take their family to a multiplex without worrying about cost, that's a win.' He also believes the cap gives smaller films more visibility. 'Earlier, big-budget films monopolised prime slots. Now, mid and small-budget films are getting a fair chance, too," he says. Tickets could be priced higher at least for the first 10 days post release: Film industry insider A source from the Kannada Film Industry warns that high-budget films face the biggest challenge. 'This cap is a blessing for mid and small-budget films. But large productions rely heavily on opening weekend collections to recoup costs. Without flexible pricing, recovery becomes difficult.' There are several major releases lined up, like Kantara: Chapter 1, KD: The Devil, and Toxic, which can have a positive impact on the economy of the industry. The source suggests Karnataka adopt a model like Telangana's, where ticket prices are higher for the first 10 days post release and later return to standard rates. 'That model supports early recovery without penalising longterm viewership,' the source adds. Price cap won't affect tier 2 and 3 cities: Source Despite assumptions that rural audiences would benefit most, industry sources say otherwise. 'In smaller towns, tickets were already priced between ₹200–₹250. The cap doesn't make a big difference there,' says one insider. 'The real impact is in Bengaluru, where multiplex tickets were far more expensive,' the source adds. No surge in footfall just yet: Multiplexes While the rule is being implemented in phases, multiplexes are cautious. 'There hasn't been a dramatic increase in footfalls,' admits Jayanth. 'People still come for good films. That hasn't changed.' He adds that while affordability improves access, a blanket cap could lead to reduced maintenance standards, staff reductions, and a narrower selection of films.
