Johnny Lever slams today's actors, comedians for copying from Hollywood, using double-entendre jokes: ‘Inki aukaat nahi'
Bollywood actor Johnny Lever began his career as a stand-up comedian before stealing the screen with his comic roles in films like Golmaal, Baazigar, Raja Hindustani and Housefull, among others. In a recent conversation with Kunickaa Sadanand on her YouTube channel, Johnny took a dig at today's actors and comedians and issued a subtle challenge to the current generation of stand-up performers. Johnny Lever challenges stand-up comedians to make people laugh without double meaning jokes. Johnny Lever slams actors and comedians for copying from Hollywood When asked about his views on the decline in the quality of comedy in films today, Johnny said, "People have become too free in abusing today because of Hollywood films. In the West, it's common to use foul language and make crass jokes, and now our actors and comedians are copying that. They've developed a habit. They only watch English films now. They pick up exact things from Hollywood, thinking, 'Chal jayega, kya farq padta hai (It'll work, how does it matter).' That's how double-meaning jokes have become so common.' Johnny Lever challenges standup comedians Johnny went on to challenge modern stand-up comedians, saying, "Most of today's stand-up content is full of double meanings. But when we were trained in the craft, we were taught never to take that route. Hum double meaning karenge toh inki aukaat nahi hogi saamne khade rehne ki (If we start speaking double-entendre, these new guys won't even be able to stand before us). But we never chose that path. If they are really talented, I challenge them—say something clean and still make people laugh. That is the real test. I'm not saying they're bad; people are enjoying their content. But I have a family audience. I have to be answerable to that.' Johnny rose to prominence with memorable comic roles in films like Baazigar, Raja Hindustani, Dulhe Raja and more. However, it was his comic timing in films like Baadshah and Golmaal 3 that cemented his position as a legend in Bollywood comedy. He remains a pivotal figure in shaping the industry's approach to slapstick and situational humour. He was most recently seen in Housefull 5, which was a commercial success, collecting ₹300 crore worldwide. He will next appear in Welcome To The Jungle, which also stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film is expected to be released in December this year.

Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn't just bring back Marvel's original comic book family — it brings back the fun
For a studio once capable of turning obscure comic-book characters into global billion-dollar phenomena, Marvel has spent the post-Endgame years behaving like a magician who's forgotten how to pull a rabbit out of a hat — and keeps blaming the audience. After a string of bloated sequels, forgettable series, and increasingly tangled timelines, the studio has finally delivered something that feels like… well, a movie. Fantastic Four: First Steps may not reinvent the genre, but it does something arguably more impressive — it makes the superhero film fun again. A still from Fantastic Four: First Steps Directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision), this much-needed reboot brings Marvel's First Family back to life with a kitschy, retro-futurist twist set in an alternate 1960s New York — a world where the Cold War rages, the Baxter Building glows, and superhero uniforms look suspiciously like blue pajamas. The film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as her fire-happy brother Johnny, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the lovably grumpy Ben Grimm. And unlike past iterations, this one skips the tedious origin story and assumes the audience has at least a Wikipedia-level familiarity with the quartet. A wise choice. The Fantastic Four are already famous when we meet them — beloved by the public, doing variety shows, and fighting off quirky comic-book baddies like Mole Man (Paul Walter Hauser) and the Super-Apes (sadly just name-dropped). They live together in the stylish Baxter Building, where domestic bliss looks like a cross between The Jetsons and a Mad Men-era sitcom. Sue has just discovered she's pregnant — a miracle in any timeline, but especially one where everyone's DNA has been fried by cosmic rays. Reed, ever the scientist, is unsure what powers their child might inherit. Ben, cursed with a rock-like exterior and sensitive soul, longs for a connection with local schoolteacher Rachel (Natasha Lyonne). Meanwhile, Johnny has a spark — pun intended — with the Silver Surfer (a gender-flipped Shalla-Bal, played with chrome-plated intensity by Julia Garner), who arrives bearing a warning: Galactus, the planet-devouring god-thing, is en route. Yes, the world is ending again. But for once, the apocalypse has style. The good The biggest triumph here is tone. Mark's direction leans into the weird, the whimsical, and the genuinely warm — a welcome break from Marvel's recent obsession with existential dread and time travel. The 1960s setting is gorgeously realised, full of neon signs, futuristic kitchen gadgets, and a robot butler named Herbie who doubles as childcare. Pedro Pascal plays Reed with a bemused detachment that works — less tortured genius, more science dad with a stretch problem. Vanessa's Sue is quietly formidable, grounding the film with emotional heft (and looking suspiciously well-rested for a woman about to give birth in space). Joseph nails Johnny's reckless charm, and Ebon's Ben is the soul of the film — a CGI creation with real pathos and a deadpan delivery that hits just right. Michael Giacchino's score gives the film a nostalgic buoyancy, and the production design leans heavily — and successfully — into comic book absurdity. Also: any film where The Thing earnestly reads Dr Spock's Baby and Child Care deserves points for originality alone. The bad Yes, there's a big third-act battle. Yes, another city folds in on itself. No, Marvel still hasn't figured out how to end a movie without throwing buildings at the sky. The gender-swapped Silver Surfer will raise eyebrows among comic-book purists, and her shiny design — somewhere between Terminator 2 and an avant-garde shampoo ad — is more distracting than intimidating. Also, while the film mostly stands on its own, Marvel can't resist teasing future conflicts and characters, and the film occasionally feels like it's winking at sequels we haven't asked for yet. The verdict Fantastic Four: First Steps isn't just Marvel's best reboot in years — it's a reminder that superhero movies can be silly, heartfelt, and self-contained. It's not perfect, and it's not trying to be. But after years of convoluted cinematic calculus, watching a group of mismatched heroes argue in a pastel kitchen while the world teeters on the brink feels oddly refreshing. The film lives up to its subtitle: this is a genuine first step forward. And for Marvel, that's a giant leap back toward what made it great.

Pawan Kalyan Says He Wanted To Quit Films In 2006: ‘The Problem With Me Is...'
Last Updated: Pawan Kalyan says that going forth, he wants to become a full-time politician and remain in the movies only as a producer. He now intends to 'activate' his production house. Much conversation is happening regarding superstar and Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Pawan Kalyan's retirement plans from the world of cinema. In fact, he was semi-retired from the movies when producer AM Rathnam approached him to play the protagonist in Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which is set to release in theatres today. For the unversed, in March 2014, Kalyan founded the Janasena Party and and then he continued his political career alongside his film career as an actor. Now, Kalyan exclusively tells News18 Showsha that he indeed plans on taking a complete retirement from the movies and focus solely on helping the society as a politician. Talking about how his plans of retirement had occurred to him as early as 2006, he says, 'I'll definitely retire. I would love to retire. I never thought that I would continue to do films for this long. By 2006-2007, I wanted to quit films. I had actually thought that I'll direct five films and then quit the industry." However, the commercial failure of his debut directorial that released in 2003 derailed his plans. 'If my first film as a director, Johnny, wouldn't have performed at the box office the way I wanted it to, I would've directed four more films, quit cinema, venture into politics and keep serving the society. I always wanted to quit cinema but the problem with me is, I didn't plan any alternate financial source. That's the only reason I had to continue doing films till now," Kalyan remarks. Going forward, he wants to finish his acting commitments and then become a full-time politician and remain a part of the movies only as a producer. The actor has already wrapped OG and Ustaad Bhagat Singh and only has Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 2 remaining. 'I may not do more films as an actor but I want to definitely do film production. I've a production house. I never activated it but I think that now is the time. I haven't signed anything else after OG and Ustaad Bhagat Singh. I've finished all the films," he says. Spilling the beans on the second part of his latest release, Kalyan tells us, 'I've to just give a few more days for part two and then I'll be done. Part 2 will happen soon. It has to happen. Around 20 percent of the second part of the film has already been shot. After that, I can dedicate more time for my career as a politician. Even after the shoot of Hari Hara Veera Mallu began, I had to invest more time as a politician and my film career took a backseat." As for Hari Hara Veera Mallu, he's relieved that the film is finally out. 'It took five years for the film to finish. It gives me a sense of great relief. It feels like a weight has been taken off my chest. If my film will be shelved or even get made – I had those fears without a doubt. The burden of finance truly brings down a film," he says. It also stars Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal. First Published: July 24, 2025, 04:52 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
