Akshay Kumar takes a playful DIG at Saif Ali Khan, calls his humour ‘very SoBo': 'Mera... Andheri Borivali ke side'
Akshay Kumar is set to reunite with Saif Ali Khan in Priyadarshan's 'Haiwaan', starting production in August 2025. Akshay plays the villain and joked about an unplanned 'trilogy' with films titled Insaan, Jaanwar, and Haiwaan. The film is a Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit 'Oppam'. Akshay Kumar has many exciting films coming up, like Priyadarshan 's 'Bhooth Bangla', 'Hera Pheri 3', and 'Haiwaan'. In 'Haiwaan', he will work again with Saif Ali Khan after 17 years since their last film 'Tashan'. Akshay said he is happy to work with Saif again and described him as funny. He also mentioned that their humour is different: Saif's humour is typical of South Bombay, while Akshay's comes from Mumbai's suburbs like Andheri and Borivali. Akshay's Conversation on Reuniting Talking to Hindustan Times, Akshay recently spoke about reuniting with Saif for the film 'Haiwaan'. He expressed his excitement about working again with director Priyadarshan and collaborating with Saif after many years. Akshay said he is eagerly waiting to start shooting with Saif, whom he described as a very funny person. He also noted a key difference in their humour styles, "He is also a very funny guy. But farak ye hai uska jo humour hai wo bohot hi SoBo hai. Bohot hi South Bombay hai. Aur mera jo hai, wo Andheri Borivali ke side se jaake aage tak jaata hai. Toh dono ka humour jo hai bilkul hi alag hai. (But the difference is that his humour is very SoBo — very South Bombay. And mine is more like it starts from Andheri, goes through Borivali, and beyond. So both our styles of humour are completely different). But it's going to be so much fun shooting with him." Akshay Kumar's Role in 'Haiwaan' and the 'Trilogy' Joke Kumar is reportedly playing the villain in 'Haiwaan'. When asked about the film's title, he humorously remarked that it seems like destiny: first, he did Insaan, then Jaanwar, and now Haiwaan, completing a trilogy of sorts. However, he laughed it off, clarifying that this sequence was not planned intentionally. Haiwaan as a Remake and Production Updates 'Haiwaan', reportedly the Hindi remake of the 2016 Malayalam film Oppam starring Mohanlal, is moving forward in production. On 15 July, director Priyadarshan shared on Instagram a candid photo of Saif and Akshay enjoying the India versus England Test match at Lord's Cricket Stadium in London. Alongside the picture, Priyadarshan announced the film as his next project starring Akshay and Saif. The shooting of Haiwaan is expected to begin in August 2025, with a likely release planned for 2026. Akshay and Saif's Long-Standing On-Screen Partnership Akshay and Saif are reuniting on screen after 17 years since their last film together, 'Tashan'. Over the years, they have collaborated on several successful films, including 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari', 'Yeh Dillagi', 'Tu Chor Main Sipahi', and 'Keemat', which remain popular with audiences.

Why bizman Sunjay Kapur's death has sparked a feud, corporate power struggle
Over a month after businessman and actor Karisma Kapoor's former husband Sunjay Kapur died of a heart attack while playing polo in London, his mother Rani Kapur has written to the board of directors of family-owned auto components firm Sona Comstar — a part of Indian conglomerate Sona Group — suggesting that she had been 'forced to sign documents behind locked doors' and 'left to the mercy of a select few for survival'. The letter was written by Rani Kapur hours before an annual general meeting (AGM) of the company was scheduled for Friday. The letter, in which Rani identified herself as the majority shareholder of the Sona Group, stated: 'I was approached multiple times and compelled to sign various documents without explanation or even having time to read and understand the same. Despite being under immense mental and emotional distress, I was coerced into signing such documents behind locked doors… the contents of such documents have never been revealed to me.' In the letter, which was also copied to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Rani also alleged that she has lost access to all her bank accounts. 'Please also take note that I have been totally denied access to my accounts and have been left to the mercy of a select few for survival. All this, in less than a month of my only son passing away,' she said. Rani further said that her late husband, Surinder Kapur — the founder of Sona Group, who had passed away in 2015 — had, via a will dated June 30, 2015, made her the sole beneficiary of his estate and also a majority shareholder of the Sona Group. 'It is unfortunate that while the family and I are still in mourning, some people have chosen this as an opportune time to wrest control and usurp the family legacy,' she wrote while requesting that the AGM be postponed by two weeks. She further alleged that in the AGM, a resolution would be passed to appoint certain directors in the company as representatives of the Kapur family, without her involvement. 'Unfortunately, once again, nothing has been told or explained, let alone discussed with me regarding the same by the company or people involved,' she said. Rani, who is being represented by senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar and advocate Smriti Churiwal, added that she had 'not given any consent or officially nominated any person to come on the board of the company or any other Sona Group company after my son's demise or given any consent to any person to represent me in any capacity before the company and or any other Sona Group company'. The Indian Express has learnt that Sona Comstar, while denying all allegations, has said that it did not defer its AGM — which was 'scheduled in full compliance with the law' — despite the request from Rani Kapur, as she is not a shareholder in the company. On June 12, Sunjay Kapur died at the age of 53 following a heart attack. Some reports claimed that he had swallowed an insect while playing polo, which possibly sent his body into shock.

4 literary cameos you missed in Bollywood movies
(Written by Kaashvi Khubyani) Books are not always read out loud in movies. Sometimes, they just sit quietly in the background- in someone's hands or next to a cup of coffee, but they still say a lot. In Bollywood movies, where everything is big and dramatic, these little book moments can feel surprisingly personal. They often tell us what a character is feeling or searching for. Here are four such times where books made quiet but powerful appearances on screen. Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha is all about figuring out who you really are, even if the world forces you to be someone else. In one scene, Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) gives Tara (Deepika Padukone) a copy of Catch-22– a book about a man stuck in a confusion and frustration. It's not just a random choice. The book reflects Ved's own struggle with living a life that doesn't feel like his. Just like the story, Ved feels trapped and the book quietly says so. When Rani (Kangana Ranaut) takes a solo trip to Paris after getting heartbroken, she takes something special with her- The Alchemist. The book is about chasing your dreams and finding your purpose and that's exactly what Rani ends up doing. As she discovers new places and new parts of herself, the book becomes her travel companion. It accompanies her, reminding her that she's stronger than she thought she would ever become. She steps out of her comfort zone and slowly lets go of who she was. She begins to find her own 'Personal Legend,' not in the form of love or marriage but in reclaiming herself. Black tells the story of Michelle (Rani Mukerji), a girl who can't see or hear and her teacher (Amitabh Bachchan), who helps her find her way in a world. The film is inspired by Helen Keller's life and in one important scene, Michelle is seen holding Keller's autobiography. The book doesn't just appear as a reference, it's a symbol of hope. It becomes a reminder that words can be felt even when they can't be heard and that even the most silent journeys are still full of voice. Since Dil Bechara is based on The Fault in Our Stars, it makes sense that Kizie (Sanjana Sanghi) is shown reading the original book early in the film. It's a small yet emotional moment- a look at the story it's retelling. Like the novel, the movie is tender and heartbreaking. By showing the book on screen, it feels like the characters know they're part of something bigger, a story that so many people have cried over and connected with. The next time you're watching a movie, notice the books that characters are reading or even just keeping nearby. They're placed in the scene for a reason. Books in films might not always have dialogue, but they do speak. Whether it's about identity, love, growing up or healing, these quiet literary moments add something special and often, something deeply human. (The writer is an intern with
