When Karan Johar recalled first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan: "People said he was arrogant"
Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan and the talented director Karan Johar share a special kind of bond with each other. However, their first meeting was rather tense. In a throwback interview, KJo, shared that when he first accompanied his father to a film set where Shah Rukh was present, he carried with him the gossip-fuelled belief that the rising actor was 'arrogant. ' But what unfolded was quite the opposite. "Everyone used to say Shah Rukh Khan was arrogant,' Karan remembered. 'But he came up to me, spoke with such warmth and humility, and completely changed the narrative I had in my head.' That day, he said, was the beginning of a bond that would go on to define Hindi cinema in many ways. The First Real Meeting That Almost Didn't Happen Interestingly, Karan recalled a time much before their first meet, long before they became collaborators or friends. At the age of 15, Karan revealed that he had once waited in filmmaker Aanand Mahendroo's office for hours, seated right across from Shah Rukh, but neither spoke a word. "I had no idea it was him," Karan admitted. It was only after SRK left that someone pointed out who he'd been sitting next to. That almost-meeting took on a new significance years later, as Karan and Shah Rukh would go on to collaborate on landmark films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and My Name is Khan, with their off-screen bond becoming as cherished as their on-screen work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

‘Mitti' review: Big dreams and ground realities in show about farming
'Modern famine' is a phrase rarely heard in shows on streaming platforms. Amazon MX Player's Mitti might be an inspirational series about a marketing executive who decides to become a farmer. But the Hindi show also smuggles in truths about the problems faced by Indian agriculturists, from debt to unpredictable weather patterns. Raghav (Ishwak Singh) is adept at selling 'Bharat' to urban Indians. But when it's time for an actual return to roots, Raghav finds his presentation skills falling short. Raghav's beloved grandfather Sudarshan (Yogendra Tiku) has accumulated a huge loan on his plot of cultivated land. Memories of happier times spent in the field, the desire to reclaim Sudarshan's honour, and a stubborn need to succeed at farming persuade Raghav to take over Sudarshan's operation. The obstacles include the loan recovery agent Girdhari (Sharat Sonu), who is as nasty as they come. Naysayers scorn Raghav's inexperience. Raghav's girlfriend Stuti (Diksha Juneja) back in the city starts to run out of patience. The weather does its own thing. There are locusts and nilgais to tackle. With the the help of the no-nonsense government official Kritika (Shruti Sharma) and the experience of other farmers, Raghav gains a better understanding of what he needs to do. Kritika's support points to the positive role that committed administrators can play in making farming profitable. The eight-episode show, written by Nikhil Sachan, Akash Chawla and Arunava Joy Sengupta, does a fine job of layering a feel-good premise with ground realities. Especially in the early episodes, Raghav's dilemmas and challenges are within the realm of possibility. In a poignant scene, Raghav's father reminds him of the sacrifices that have been made to ensure a better life beyond the village. Sudarshan too tells Raghav that while ripened fruit gets sent to the city, the tree on which it is grown stays back. Romanticising farming doesn't help Raghav one bit – directors Gangajeet Singh and Alok Kumar Dwivedi ably bring out this truth. Mitti unfolds in unglamorous settings and has welcome detailing about farming culture, from discussions about soil analysis to events where cultivators proudly show off their produce. The show loses some of its rigour in the later episodes, which feel like a PowerPoint presentation by the agriculture ministry. The leap from failure to success via tech hacks seems far too easy. Although the makers succumb to the kind of pep talk given by Raghav in his previous avatar, Mitti distinguishes itself from similarly themed shows simply by picking an unusual theme and following it with curiosity for the most part. Apart from a compelling performance by Ishwak Singh, the show has a fine turn by Alka Amin as Raghav's grandmother. Pranjal Pateriya and Piyush Kumar play Raghav's sidekicks, who are to Mitti what Faisal Malik and Chandan Roy are to Jitendra Kumar in the popular Prime Video series Panchayat. In several ways, Raghav is a foil to Panchayat 's Abhishek, who struggles to fit into a village. Raghav's return journey is more dreamy-eyed, but Mitti manages to make this dream appear within reach.

‘Janaki V vs State of Kerala': Filmmakers accept CBFC's title change
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) The makers of the Suresh Gopi-starrer 'Janaki vs State of Kerala' have agreed to change the film's title to 'Janaki V vs State of Kerala', following recommendations from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). As reported by On Manorama, the decision comes after a brief legal tussle and public debate regarding the use of the name 'Janaki' (another name of the Hindu goddess Sita). The CBFC had initially insisted on 96 cuts but later withdrew that demand, requesting only two specific edits. The key objection centered on the title character's name, which the Board believed could offend religious sentiments. CBFC counsel Abhinav Chandrachud proposed the title Janaki V, as the protagonist's full name is Janaki Vidhyadharan. The filmmakers agreed, thereby helping the film inch closer to release. Muted dialogue and a changed title: Filmmakers comply In addition to the title revision, the filmmakers will mute the protagonist's full name in a courtroom cross-examination scene where it's uttered twice. These audio changes will be made during two specific timeframes in the film: between 1:06:45 and 1:08:36. As flagged by the CBFC, the scene features a defence lawyer questioning Janaki with lines that suggest drug use, watching pornographic content. The scene also suggests the character having a boyfriend. The Board argued that this depiction could "fundamentally undermine the dignity" of a revered figure and provoke religious unrest. Certification likely within days, case to continue The CBFC has now assured the filmmakers that certification will be issued within three days once the required changes are completed. However, the legal proceedings are still underway. The producers had approached the High Court after the initial denial of certification. Janaki vs State Of Kerala - Official Hindi Teaser What's next for the Suresh Gopi starrer? Justice Nagaresh watched the film in a special screening last week. The matter is scheduled for further hearing next Wednesday. While the compromise on the title marks a significant step forward, the court's final decision remains awaited.
