In a video, the youngster is seen fearlessly interacting with the media, and when asked if he remembered his dialogue from the film, he said, 'Yeah yeah", and continued, 'Yaar, ek hi din mein Singham banaoge kya (Will you make me Singham in one day)?" Ajay, on the other hand, smiled warmly and said, 'Singham koi kisi ko nahi banata, Singham banane wala ek hi hai," while pointing up to God.

Demand grows for state film award in memory of Saroja Devi
Bengaluru: The Kannada film industry's evergreen 'Abhinaya Saraswati', the iconic B. Saroja Devi, may no longer be among us, but calls to immortalise her legacy are only growing stronger. Following her passing on July 14, senior actress and BJP leader Tara Anuradha has formally urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to institute a state film award in Saroja Devi's name to honour her unparalleled contribution to Indian cinema. On Wednesday, Tara met the Chief Minister at his official residence, Cauvery, and submitted a memorandum appealing to the government to recognise the late actress's six-decade-long service to the film industry through an annual award for excellence in cinema. Sharing photos of their meeting, the CM's official X handle confirmed that he has received the request and assured that the matter will be considered. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Tara said, 'B. Saroja Devi is not just an actress — she is an institution in herself. Her contribution to Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema is unforgettable. An award in her name will inspire generations of artists.' The Chief Minister, who also spent time interacting with the public at his residence on the same day, reiterated his condolences for Saroja Devi's passing. In his earlier tribute post, Siddaramaiah had said, 'Her death is an irreparable loss to Indian cinema. She ruled the silver screen for decades with over 200 films in multiple languages. When we think of Saroja Devi, we remember her iconic performances in films like Kittur Chennamma, Babruvahana, and Annathangi.' Saroja Devi, who stepped into cinema at the age of 17, went on to become one of South India's most celebrated leading ladies, acting alongside the biggest stars of her time. Known for her grace, versatility and dignified screen presence, she set a world record by playing heroine roles in 161 films — a feat unmatched by any other actress of her era. When news of her death broke, her residence in Malleswaram saw an outpouring of tributes as people from across the industry, fans and political leaders gathered for her final rites. Tara, who paid her last respects then, said the Kannada film fraternity now wants the government to ensure Saroja Devi's name lives on through a prestigious state award. While the government is yet to make a formal announcement, industry insiders say there is widespread support for the move. Many believe that instituting an award for outstanding acting or lifetime achievement in Saroja Devi's name would be a fitting tribute to an artist who inspired countless actors and entertained millions for over six decades. As the Karnataka government considers the proposal, fans hope that the memory of the legendary actress will continue to shine, reminding future generations of the golden era she represented and the cultural pride she brought to Kannada cinema.

Saiyaara leaps to 62nd spot in all-time biggest Hindi hits, outpaces Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale, Salman Khan's Bodyguard and Prabhas's Salaar:Part 1- Ceasefire
Mohit Suri's directorial venture, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become a box office sensation. The romantic drama has swiftly climbed to 62nd position among Hindi cinema's biggest hits, amassing Rs 153.25 crore in just six days. Saiyaara has surpassed major films like Dilwale, Bodyguard, and Salaar, driven by strong word-of-mouth and consistent weekday collections. In a stunning box office run, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , has surged from the 84th to the 62nd position on the list of the biggest Hindi hits of Indian cinema within just 24 hours. With its 6-day total now standing at an impressive Rs 153.25 crore, the romantic drama has officially leapfrogged major Bollywood hits including Shah Rukh Khan 's Dilwale (Rs 148.42 Cr), Salman Khan 's Bodyguard (Rs 148.52 Cr), and even the high-profile Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1 (Rs 152.65 Cr). This unexpected climb reflects not just a growing word-of-mouth wave, but also the sharp rise in weekday collections that signal strong audience retention. After a thunderous Rs 21.5 crore opening on Friday, the film jumped to Rs 26 crore on Saturday, followed by a stellar Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday usually sees a drop, Saiyaara held well with Rs 24 crore, and then bounced back on Tuesday to Rs 25 crore, showing a rare 4.17% jump mid-week. Wednesday's early estimate of Rs 21 crore sealed its entry into the Rs 150 crore club, and more crucially, into the elite list of top 65 Hindi films of all time. What's remarkable is how Saiyaara has managed to outperform films backed by massive star power and colossal budgets. While Dilwale (featuring SRK and Kajol) and Bodyguard (starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor ) came with pre-installed fanbases, Saiyaara has largely relied on emotional storytelling, soulful music, and fresh faces. Even Salaar, headlined by pan-India star Prabhas and made on a over Rs 200 crore budget, has now been overtaken in the Hindi domestic made more than Rs 400 crore across Hindi , Telugu and other languages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo With one more weekday and a second weekend ahead, many now believe Saiyaara could enter the top 50 club, possibly overtaking films like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2 and Bajirao Mastani to break into the Top 50. For Mohit Suri, this marks a career-high resurgence after a hiatus, and for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, it sets a dreamlike debut benchmark. The industry is taking note — not just of the numbers — but of the shift in audience preferences, where performance and content can now triumph over brand value and spectacle. As of now, Saiyaara stands tall at No. 62 — but it's clear this journey is far from over.

Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah: Khushi Kapoor & Vedang Raina take sides in this latest video by Prime Video
These two really brought their A-game to this super fun face-off in the latest video by Prime Video read more This monsoon is all about 'Summer Love' and Lola Tung, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno's titular love-triangle in The Summer I Turned Pretty, as Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah, is all everyone can talk about. Joining the wagon are popular actors Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina, who jumped headfirst into the ultimate The Summer I Turned Pretty debate: #TeamConrad or #TeamJeremiah? These two really brought their A-game to this super fun face-off in the latest video by Prime Video. Khushi, a true Conrad loyalist, was hilariously offended when Vedang proudly declared himself 'Team Jellyfish' (yes, that's what Jeremiah fans call themselves). But Vedang wasn't backing down, arguing passionately that Jeremiah is 'clearly the nicer one between the two brothers, a true 'green flag'.' And if not for the latest episodes, Jeremiah's golden retriever personality has been truly winning fans since the past two seasons. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Things got even funnier when 'Team Jellyfish' took it up a notch, pulling out 'Red Flags' with Conrad's face plastered all over them, and from there, everything went south! Khushi's reactions to Vedang's cheeky moves and those 'red flags' are absolutely priceless – it's basically every TSITP fan's internal struggle brought to life. Their laugh-out-loud, mini-brawl is an absolute must-watch, especially if you're hyped for Season 3 of the widely popular series. In Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly's perfect summer with Jeremiah is upended when Conrad re-enters her life, forcing her to confront old feelings. As adulthood looms, she must finally choose where her heart truly lies. As Khushi and Vedang duke it out, true The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are prepping to re-ignite their own team loyalties, especially as the first two episodes of season three are upping the ante for the series finale. The upcoming season is led by showrunners Jenny Han and Sarah Kucserka, and features Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, Gavin Casalegno, Sean Kaufman, Jackie Chung, and Rachel Blanchard in pivotal roles.
