It has been thirty years almost since Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore managed to beat Christopher McDonald's Shooter McGavin at golf, but Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, sees the actor reprise his role as the pro golfer.

While Happy Gilmore 2 packed a hefty dose of nostalgia and peppered the story with cameos – all designed to take fans down the memory lane – the movie apparently got mixed reviews. While some loved the memories it brought back, others felt the sequel failed to live up to the mark.
Amid contending narratives online, a profile calling itself Shooter McGavin has shared its opinions on Happy Gilmore 2 reviews.
What Shooter McGavin said about Happy Gilmore 2 reviews?
The profile with McGavin's name shared an image with the text 'Hate me or love me, you watched.'
The profile captioned it saying 'How I feel about all the Happy Gilmore 2 reviews I'm seeing.'
Notably, McGavin is not a real person and is just a character portrayed by McDonald. However, the profile seems to have had very real interactions with actual golfing legends.
Fred Couples who has a cameo in Adam Sandler's movie, tagged the X profile named after McGavin and wrote 'Welcome to the Gold Jacket Club,' adding, 'Your Gold Jacket will look good next to the @PresidentsCup trophy!'
To this, the X profile named after McGavin replied 'Thank you Fred. The Presidents Cup would look great in my trophy room.'
Notably, the Gold Jacket was something McGavin had coveted and lost in the first Happy Gilmore movie. During the filming of the sequel, star Adam Sandler took the chance to give the actor the gold jacket.
'Shooter finally gets what's coming to him,' Sandler wrote when posting the clip of him handing the jacket to McDonald. The profile named after McGavin also shared this video, remarking 'For the record… This was just Gilmore returning to Shooter what was rightfully his.'

'I dont think acting is for me': Kayoze Irani on his return to big screens, direction, Sarzameen experience

New Delhi [India], July 29 (ANI): Kayoze Irani, who is popularly known for his role of Kaizad Sudo Sodabottleopenerwala in the superhit film 'Student of the Year', admitted that "acting" is not made for him. After a brief stint as an actor in the Bollywood industry, Kayoze switched to filmmaking with the anthology series 'Ajeeb Daastaans' on Netflix in 2021. He directed the segment titled 'Ankahi', which starred Shefali Shah in the lead role. After gaining experience in filmmaking by serving as an assistant director in Kartik Aaryan's 'Dhamaka', Kayoze decided to put his directorial skills to the test with the recently released movie 'Sarzameen'. It stars Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan in the lead roles. It is jointly produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Adar Poonawalla under the banner of Dharma Productions. While Kayoze is quite busy with his directorial projects, many fans wonder about his return to acting after his show-stealing debut performance in 'Student of the Year'. While talking to ANI, Kayoze admitted that he has no plans of returning to acting, disappointing his fans who were long waiting for his return. Kayoze said that he is more "comfortable" behind the camera and acting is not made for him. "I don't think you can see me acting again, because I enjoy filmmaking and it's what I have always wanted to do. I am comfortable behind the camera, and that is my intention. So sorry to disappoint, but I don't think acting is for me," said Kayoze Irani. Apart from his role in Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year', Kayoze has also starred in films including 'Youngistaan' and 'The Legend of Michael Mishra'. Kayoze Irani also shared his experience of working with stars, including Kajol and Prithiviraj Sukumaran in his debut movie directorial 'Sarzameen'. He called it a "humbling experience", saying that he never felt like a debutant among the two veterans. "As a debut director, the two of them (Prithviraj and Kajol) never let me feel that I am a debut director because they are both veterans. So when they were with me on set, they would always give me that respect. They would always take my opinion. Always listen and make me feel like I am part of them. I could stand with them and talk to them. So it is a genuinely humbling experience," said Kayoze Irani. Kayoze's latest directorial, 'Sarzameen', is currently streaming on Disney Hotstar. (ANI)

Khushi Kapoor Trolled For Saying She'd Debut With Ahaan Panday: 'Thank God It Didn't Work'

Last Updated: Saiyaara has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. Ahaan Panday is currently enjoying his moment in the spotlight, thanks to his impressive debut in Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, the musical romantic drama also marks the film debut of Aneet Padda. The film has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. As his stardom rises, an old interview of Khushi Kapoor expressing her wish to debut opposite Ahaan has resurfaced and netizens have strong opinions. In a 2019 episode of Neha Dhupia's talk show, Khushi appeared with her sister Janhvi Kapoor. When asked which star kid she'd want to be paired opposite in her debut, the options were Aryan Khan, Ahaan Panday, and Meezaan Jaaferi. Khushi responded, 'I have only seen Ahaan act out of the three of them, so I guess it would be like, the safest option." Janhvi, however, rooted for Meezaan as Khushi's ideal co-star. Fast forward to 2023, Khushi made her debut in The Archies alongside Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and her rumoured boyfriend Vedang Raina. Meanwhile, Ahaan debuted in Saiyaara, which crossed Rs 250 crore at the Indian box office and continues to grow. Now that both actors have found their footing in the industry, netizens have reacted to the viral clip. One user wrote, 'If Khushi was in Saiyaara it would have flopped. Aneet's acting was a major part of the success." Another commented, 'Thank godddd this did not work out!!! She would have ruined his debut." A fan added, '6 years old post. Now every nations actress would choose an Ahaan Panday film." As of now, both Ahaan and Khushi have not announced their next projects. Aryan Khan, however, is ready for his directorial debut with Netflix's The Ba**ds of Bollywood*. Here's wishing them all success ahead!
