On Thursday, Aamir Khan Productions took to their social media handles and shared the song for the audience to have a glimpse. They captioned the post as, "When you truly love someone, you keep them sar aankhon pe. This song is just that ❤ #SarAankhonPeMere Is Out Now!".
The song shows Genelia and Aamir in a festive setting where everyone around them is dancing and celebrating, however, the couple is solemn. It seems they are longing for each other but unable to express their feelings in this love ballad. Written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, the song has soulful vocals from Arijit Singh and Shariva Parulkar.

(Arijit's voice + Aamir's emotions= goosebumps). Another one was bowled by Genelia's beauty in the song. A third fan thanked, Shankar Ehsaan Loy's soulful composition and wrote, "These soul soothing songs are what's lacking in today's films. Thank you Aamir and SEL! Can feel the emotions in this song. Can't wait for the film! (sic)". A fourth fan commented, 'It is pure magic'.
The film is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's critically acclaimed Taare Zameen Par (2007). Directed by R S Prasanna, it stars Genelia D'Souza in the lead role alongside 10 debutant actors. A remake of the Spanish film Champions, the story follows Aamir as a basketball coach who, as part of his court-ordered punishment, trains a team of neurodivergent children.

Bad news for Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan as their old luxury cars fined Rs 38 lakhs due to...
Bad news for Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan as their old luxury cars fined Rs 38 lakhs due to... The Regional Transport Office (RTO) in Bengaluru have reportedly fined two Rolls-Royce cars once owned by Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan for staggering Rs 38 lakh. Though the cars are still officially registered in their names, but they are no longer in actors' possession. Who is the current owner of Rolls-Royce cars? Both the luxury cars are now owned by Yusuf Sharif, a local businessman and politician better known as 'KGF Babu', a nickname owning to his roots in the mining town of Kolar Gold Fields- also inspired by the popular Kannada film series KGF. According to NDTV, Sharif purchased Rolls-Royce from Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan a few years back, but never officially transferred the ownership on paper, leaving official registration under their names. According to RTO sources, Amitabh Bachchan's Phantom, has been using around Bengaluru since 2021, while the Ghost- previously owned by Aamir Khan, has been actively running since 2023. 'KGF Babu' handed heavy fine of Rs… Officials found that the Rolls-Royce car once owned by Amitabh Bachchan was flagged in 2021 for not paying road taxes. However, at that time it didn't complete a year in Bengaluru, so it was let go without penalty. But now both cars have been used in the city beyond one year, which violates city's transportation rules, resulting in hefty fines for current owner Yusuf Sharif. Rolls Royce Phantom was fined for Rs 18.53 lakh, while Ghost was fined Rs 19.73 lakh, for over-usage without payment of Karnataka's road tax. In 2021, Sharif who contested Karnataka Legislative Council elections from the Bangalore Urban local authorities' constituency, had announced over Rs 1,744 crore assets for himself and his family at the time.

Saiyaara box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer crushes Stree 2 to achieve this milestone
While the film is on its way to shatter the collections of Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 166 crore), Housefull 5 (Rs 183 crore) & Raid 2 (Rs 178.08 crore), to emerge as the 2nd highest grosser of 2025 after Chhaava (Rs 600.10 crore), it has now emerged as one of the highest first Wednesday grossers to and has even beaten Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2 in that list read more Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara is in no mood to slow down at the box office. The romantic drama continues to garner crazy footfalls as it raked in around Rs 21.25 crore on its 6th day at the ticket windows, which takes its total to Rs 155 crore. While the film is on its way to shatter the collections of Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 166 crore), Housefull 5 (Rs 183 crore) & Raid 2 (Rs 178.08 crore), to emerge as the 2nd highest grosser of 2025 after Chhaava (Rs 600.10 crore), it has now emerged as one of the highest first Wednesday grossers to and has even beaten Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2 in that list. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Highest 1st Wednesday grossers Pathaan - Rs. 57 cr (opening day) Chhaava - Rs. 32.40 cr Gadar 2 - Rs. 32.37 cr Pushpa 2 - Rs. 31.50 cr Animal - Rs. 30.45 cr Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - Rs. 26 cr Dhoom 3 - Rs. 25.52 cr Jawan - Rs. 23.83 cr Saiyaara - Rs 21.25 cr* Stree 2 - Rs 20.40 cr Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'

Ashwath Bhatt: Ashwath Bhatt: If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on around you
Actor has been playing the role of Saadat Hasan Manto in the play Ek Mulaqat Manto Se for over a decade, and he believes that we have inhabited the world that the late writer lived in. The relevance, in today's life and times, is a stark reminder that Manto showed us a world that was equally, if not more, apathetic. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Imagine what Manto would say when he read about Gaza today – about lives being lost, of children dying. Nothing much has changed – in every generation, it seems like he is alive and writing about the world now. Truth is always uncomfortable and that is the reality of the world,' says Ashwath. Ahead of performing the play in the city, the Raazi actor spoke about Manto-yat, its universal appeal, his work and more. Excerpts: 'Manto's stories have universal appeal' as Saadat Hasan Manto in a still from his play. Ashwath says that reading Manto in the late 90s was a completely different experience for him. 'By then I had read Eugene O'Neill and Franz Kafka, among others, but I had never read anything so bold and strong. And I could relate it to what was going on in Kashmir at that time. Kashmir was always in the news – there was violence being reported every other day. I was extremely angry, and I could completely relate to Manto's stories and writings,' he says. While researching, Ashwath realised that nobody knew much about the perception of Manto and how he saw himself. 'And I thought this was an interesting character to play as an actor. Plus, Manto's stories have a universal appeal,' he adds. The actor explains that there are two parts to the play, set before - pre and post-partition. One is static and the other is moving. 'We all need to pay our bills and need the work' Ashwath reiterates the point that most actors in the industry make today, that the audience has evolved and has plenty of good content to choose from. 'Producers must realise that you need to give a big screen release some time before you decide to bring it to OTT platforms. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If in 20 days, a new film is on OTT, how do you expect people to go to theatres to watch a film?' he asks. The actor says that the audience does not want to compromise on content. 'People have been exposed to Turkish, Spanish, Korean, Malayalam, and a variety of content from across the world. Bollywood needs to realise that people's tastes have changed,' he says, adding, 'A friend of mine who was a typical Bollywood masala film lover consumed a variety of content during the pandemic. Today he discusses Stanley Kubrick's films with me.' Ashwath also feels that good content is a huge struggle in Bollywood. 'The corporatisation of the industry, where you have a bunch of business school graduates deciding your script and storyline in 20 minutes, cannot produce great cinema. But we all need to pay our bills and need the work. It's not that there are no good stories written. But we need passionate producers to back them,' he adds. Ashwath Bhatt in Ek Mulaqat Manto Se 'Bollywood is not pure art, it's a commercial business' While the Indian film industry is not known to make political statements on global issues, Ashwath feels even if they are not politicians, artists have to be political. 'If you are a true artist, your art must reflect what is going on in the world. You cannot be distant. You can't not be connected to what is going on in your country, in your society, in the world. Whether you are part of the system or not. Whether you have raised your voice or kept silent – everything will be written about. You are part of history,' he opines. Referring to the Iranian cinema and theatre, Ashwath shares, 'Censorship is perhaps the toughest in Iran. But they have filmmakers like Jafar Panahi and Mohsen Makhmalbaf, among others, who always find a way to be political through their work without compromising on entertainment or engagement value. That's what I call a connect, and that is art. But then, Bollywood is not pure art — it is a commercial business.' On avoiding the jingoistic tropes in commercial cinema Ashwath Bhatt as Malik in The Diplomat Ashwath has had a long run in Bollywood, playing crucial roles in films like Raazi, Mission Majnu and Kesari, among others. The actor admits that he was not ready to play the role of Malik, Director General of Pakistan's ISI, in The Diplomat, immediately after his role in IB71 (where he plays the ISI intelligence chief). 'If the director has a vision and clarity, it helps. Shivam Nair (director of The Diplomat) was clear he did not want jingoism, no bashing people from across the border. The film was based on a true story, and the brief was to keep it realistic. Initially, I was not sure and wanted to shy away from this typical trope. I had done a couple of films with similar supporting characters and did not want to go into that zone again. But Shivam convinced me. He gave me the freedom to create the character the way I wanted to, in terms of appearance, mannerisms etc, and I am glad the character stood out,' says Ashwath.
