Released in 1985, this is the only film featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, after which they never worked together because…, film was…

In the world of Indian cinema, a remarkable film brought together three legendary actors: Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Rajinikanth in the same frame. This extraordinary event in film history is fondly remembered as a unique and iconic moment. However, it marked the last time that all three were seen together on the big screen by their devoted fans. Which film is this? Here we are talking about film 'Geraftaar,' a 1985 Hindi-language action drama directed by Prayag Raaj. This movie marked the first and only time that Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan shared the screen. While Bachchan and Haasan portrayed brothers Karan and Kishen, Rajinikanth appeared in a cameo as Inspector Hussein, a friend of Karan. Notably, Rajinikanth's scenes were primarily with Bachchan, and he did not share screen time with Haasan, as his character's arc concluded before the brothers' reunion. Geraftaar boasted a stellar ensemble cast, including Madhavi, Poonam Dhillon, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, and Nirupa Roy. The film's narrative, enriched by the dialogues of Kader Khan and the screenplay by KK Shukla and Prayag Raaj, combined action, drama, and emotional depth. Despite initial plans for Bachchan's role to be a guest appearance, it was expanded due to his interest in the character, leading to a more significant presence in the film. Why did Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth never feature together after Geraftaar? Following Geraftaar, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Rajinikanth never reunited on screen, primarily because of their escalating individual fame and demanding careers across various film industries. Each star embarked on distinct journeys, Amitabh in Bollywood, while Kamal and Rajinikanth thrived in Tamil cinema, dedicating themselves to projects that resonated with their personal and artistic aspirations. Additionally, logistical hurdles, the appropriateness of scripts, and the expectations of their fans further complicated the possibility of a reunion, leaving Geraftaar as their sole collaboration. More about Geraftaar The movie was a commercial success, grossing Rs 14 crore at the box office, which was made under the budget of Rs 3 crore at that time. It also turned out to be the highest-grossing film of the year 1985, which was bankrolled by S. Ramanathan, under the banner of Raam Raaj Kalamandir.

Jamie Lever says she was asked to strip on video call during an audition: ‘Gave no script, said it was a bold character'

Actor Johnny Lever's daughter, actor-comedian Jamie Lever, recently opened up about facing an uncomfortable situation during what was supposed to be an audition for an international project. During an audition with Zoom, Jamie said she was asked to strip during a video call by the makers as part of the audition. (Also read: Jamie Lever says, 'I'm an actor's kid, not nepo kid', recalls father Johnny Lever's warning about film industry) Jamie Lever opened up about a casting couch incident. What Jamie said During the interview, Jamie recalled that she was excited when an offer for an international project landed her way. She said, "They mentioned there would be a video call. The script wasn't provided because they wanted it to be improvised. At the scheduled time, I received the link and joined. I was informed that the director would speak to me directly. The individual pretending to be the director claimed he was travelling and couldn't turn on his video. He stated, 'This is an international film we are casting for, and you fit the physical criteria perfectly, but we need to test a few things.'' 'Imagine there's a 50-year-old person in front of you' She continued, 'He informed me that I would portray a bold character and that there would be no comedy involved. I was eager to explore something new. When I inquired about what he needed me to do, he said, 'Imagine there's a 50-year-old person in front of you, and you're trying to charm him. Ultimately, there's an intimate scene between the two.' I expressed my discomfort and requested to stick to the script. He claimed there was no script and that it was all about improvisation. If you need to strip, say something, or do anything, feel free. I wasn't at ease, but he kept insisting, 'This is a major project, and we want to cast you.' I replied, 'If you expect me to strip during this video call, I am not comfortable with that. I wasn't made aware of this.' I quickly turned off my video. That's when I realised this could be a significant scam." She added that had she 'acted naively', her video 'could have been recorded, and I could have been harassed'. Jamie also said that 'so many women are deceived and trapped under the guise of casting. I feel incredibly fortunate'. She also added that she 'shouldn't have even clicked the link, but my presence of mind saved me. I was terrified because it was the first time I faced such a situation in my life'. Jamie has appeared in several Bollywood films, including Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Housefull 4, Bhoot Police, Yaatris, and Crakk. Jamie is now all set to embark on her comedy tour, The Jamie Lever Show, across the United States. The tour kicks off in Seattle on August 1 and will cover 15 cities, concluding on August 31 in Boston.
