'Ram ne bana di jodi': AR Rahman, Hans Zimmer share selfie as they unite for Ramayana, fans have a cute hashtag for them
Anticipation is steadily building for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, one of the most eagerly awaited films in Indian cinema. While the makers recently unveiled a gripping first look featuring the lead characters, what truly stole the limelight was the mesmerising background score by Oscar-winning composers AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Now, a selfie shared by the duo has sent the internet into a frenzy. AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer collaborate for Ramayana. AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer selfie On Friday, AR Rahman took to Instagram to share a selfie with Hans Zimmer, captioning the post, 'With @hanszimmer #ramayanamovie.' The photo quickly gained traction, drawing reactions from celebrities and fans alike. Actor Lauren Gottlieb called them "iconic", while singer Armaan Malik commented, "legends". The image soon made its way to Reddit, sparking a wave of admiration and amusement. One user wrote, 'Cute. This is such a dad-coded selfie.' Another quipped, 'Ram milayi jodi.' Others chimed in with, 'Ram ne bana di jodi (Ram made the pair)', 'Too much talent in one frame', and 'Two Hans-on ka joda (A pair of two swans).' One witty fan even coined a hashtag for the pair: '#Zimmerman'. Hans Zimmer is widely regarded as one of Hollywood's most iconic film score composers, known for his powerful work in films such as Interstellar, Inception, and Dune. He has won two Academy Awards for The Lion King (1994) and Dune (2021). AR Rahman, known as the "Mozart of Madras", bagged two Oscars at the 81st Academy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire in 2009. The collaboration of the duo on Ramayana has significantly raised audience expectations. About Ramayana Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. At the first glimpse launch on Thursday, director Nitesh Tiwari said, 'I'll react not as a director but as an audience, because I am also an avid movie watcher. For me, the most important thing is the emotions and the pride for the great cultural heritage in our country. If we can evoke that and show it to the whole world—that is what we stand for—to me, that would be an achievement.' The film will be released in two parts, with the first set to arrive in cinemas on Diwali 2026 and the second on Diwali 2027.

'Woh hum sabke dilon mein hain': Pankaj Tripathi says comparisons with Irrfan should not be made in Metro In Dino
More than 15 years after Life in a... Metro captured the complexities of urban life and relationships, its spiritual sequel Metro... In Dino hit the screens on July 5. While the original featured a beloved pairing of Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, the new film sees Konkona opposite Pankaj Tripathi. As audiences drew parallels between Irrfan's effortless charm and Pankaj's performance, the actor has now addressed the comparisons in a recent interview with Zoom. Pankaj Tripathi reacts to comparison with Irrfan Khan. Pankaj Tripathi on comparison with Irrfan Khan Pankaj said that any comparison between him and Irrfan was inappropriate, stating: 'Yeh comparison bilkul nahi hona chahiye. Woh mere senior the aur main unka fan rahunga. Mere drama school ke senior the woh. Hum ek hi acting institute se seekhe hain. Main khud unke craft ko dekh ke seekhta tha. Woh Irrfan sir hain, unki jagah hum sabke dilon mein hai. (Such comparisons should never be made. He was my senior and I will always be his fan. We studied at the same drama school. I learnt so much just by watching his craft. He is Irrfan sir, and he will always have a place in our hearts)." Irrfan delivered a memorable and heartwarming performance in Anurag Basu's 2007 ensemble drama Life in a... Metro, portraying Monty, a straightforward and slightly awkward man searching for love through matrimonial websites. He brought humour, vulnerability, and charm to a character that stood out amid the film's web of urban relationships. His chemistry with Konkona Sen Sharma was especially appreciated by fans. For the unversed, Pankaj's character in Dino is also named Monty. It was Konkana who ensured to include a tribute to Irrfan's Life In A Metro character in the film. Director Anurag Basu tells HT, "The character was not called Monty. It was Coco's (Konkona) suggestion. 'Let's call him Monty,' she said, and I said, 'Yes, right'. It was on the first day of the shoot." Konkona revealed that she made the suggestion "because it is such a goofy kind of character" and quite similar to Irrfan's character from the 2007 original. About Metro... In Dino The musical romantic drama is written and directed by Anurag Basu and produced by T-Series Films and Anurag Basu Productions. The film weaves together several heartfelt stories of contemporary couples and features an ensemble cast, including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. It received a positive response from critics, and had a promising start at the box office, earning ₹3.5 crore in India.

Pahalaj Nihalani Slams Ektaa Kapoor, Says ‘She Gets Women Married Thrice'
Last Updated: Pahalaj Nihalani is known for directing films like Khushboo, Dil Ter Diwana, Shola aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Andaz and Paap Ki Duniya. Veteran filmmaker and former CBFC chief Pahalaj Nihalani lashed out at producer Ektaa Kapoor. He accused her of causing the loss of traditional Indian culture through her television content. Speaking on the YouTube channel Learn From The Legend, the filmmaker shared his concerns about the changing face of the Indian entertainment sector and called Ektaa Kapoor's TV serials 'regressive and culturally confusing.' 'We, as an audience, are given stories about a woman getting married three times. Ektaa Kapoor, the great. Here, guys are not allowed to marry twice, and she marries these women three times! So the culture is slowly being destroyed and shifted," Nihalani said. Furthermore, he criticised the over-sexualisation of content and said 'Previously, there were relatively few sensual films released, and now there is sex even in the air." In addition, Nihalani showered praises on films like RRR and Kalki 2898 AD for their depiction of Indian culture. He shared, 'Take RRR, which was based on Ramayana and Mahabharata, and then in Kalki, the end was completely inspired by Mahabharata. Hindustani culture is still so strong in our society." Ektaa Kapoor is known for producing adult content like Gandii Baat and Ragini MMS among others through her OTT platform Alt Balaji, now ALTT. Moreover, Nihalani also recalled a moment from the making of the 2003 film Talaash: The Hunt Begins, in which Akshay Kumar insisted on Kareena Kapoor playing the female protagonist. Nihalani noted that casting decisions used to be solely the responsibility of producers and directors, with actors rarely involved. He said, 'Previously, producers and directors did the casting, and actors did not intervene. Akshay, who starred in Talash in 2002, was the first actor to meddle with my casting. He assured me that 'we can start the movie tomorrow, and you can give me whatever amount you want, but the heroine of this film will be Kareena Kapoor.' It was one of the most expensive films of its time, costing Rs 22 crore. This was the first time in my career that an actor required a certain cast." Nihalani is known for directing films like Khushboo, Dil Ter Diwana, Shola aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Andaz and Paap Ki Duniya. First Published: July 05, 2025, 16:01 IST
