The speculation began after Aasif Khan shared a note on Instagram Stoies on July 16. It read, "Realising after watching this for past 36 hours. Life is short, don't take one day for granted. Everything can change in a moment. Be grateful for all you have and all that you are. Remember who is more important to you and always cherish them. Life is a gift and we are blessed."

Talking about sharing screen space with Sanjay Dutt, Aasif Khan said, "It was truly inspiring to see Sanjay sir's passion for acting. Even after finishing his own scenes for the day, he would stick around to help us with cues. His presence brought a whole new energy to the set, and his kindness as an actor made it even more special to perform alongside him."

Panchayat actor Aasif Khan didn't have a heart attack as widely speculated. The actor has been discharged from the hospital and is recovering.

Is Dibyendu Bhattacharya A Part Of Mirzapur The Film? Chakda Xpress Actor Reveals
Last Updated: Dibyendu Bhattacharya, known for Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, told News18 Showsha whether he's a part of Mirzapur The Film. Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya, widely loved for his impactful roles in series like Mirzapur 2 and Jamtara, opened up in a candid conversation about his career trajectory. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, the actor revealed whether he is a part of Mirzapur The Film, how actors seek validation through their work, and his deep desire to explore out-and-out commercial comedy on screen. When asked if he'd be a part of the upcoming Mirzapur movie adaptation starring Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, and Ali Fazal, Dibyendu Bhattacharya confirmed his character is no longer part of the storyline. But would he consider a role in Mirzapur The Film if offered? He replied, ' [Spoiler alert] Yes, I was part of Mirzapur, but my character died in the show. I'd love to be a part of the movie, but nobody has spoken to me about it yet. So I guess that means I'm not in it," he said with a smile, making it clear the doors are open should the opportunity arise. Dibyendu reflects on not featuring in film/series posters Dibyendu has been a part of the film industry for over two decades now. Along the way, he has played pivotal characters, finally establishing his name in the film industry with projects such as Anushka Sharma's Chakda Xpress and YRF's Alpha starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Despite playing significant roles, he doesn't always make it to the poster. We asked Dibyendu if it ever bothers him. 'We actors — what do we do? We play with feelings and emotions, so we're emotional too. We're human. So yes, of course, we feel bad sometimes. A little importance would've been nice, right? It's not like I came from nowhere. If they include me in the teaser or trailer, it feels good," he reflected. 'For actors, money and fame are byproducts. What truly keeps us going is a little validation — a compliment from someone, a message in the morning that says, 'You made my day with your performance.' That's what makes our day. We're vulnerable like that," he added. Dibyendu is manifesting a full-blown comedy role When the conversation turned to genres, Dibyendu Bhattacharya expressed his enthusiasm about doing comedy, especially something in the tone of cult classics like Hera Pheri. 'Absolutely", he exclaimed, adding, 'Comedy is in my roots." 'I've won Best Actor awards before I even joined the National School of Drama – and it was for a comedy play! I used to walk on stage and for 90 minutes I had only one job: to make people laugh," he said. The Poachers actor then fondly recalled an incident from his NSD repertory days, when his comedic flair on stage once disrupted an entire scene because the audience couldn't stop watching him despite the main characters delivering their dialogue. 'There was a play where my antics kept stealing the spotlight—even when others had dialogues. The director scolded me at first, saying, 'You can't do this. People get distracted. They miss the actual lines.' But eventually, he came around. He whispered to me, 'I know you'll do what you want anyway. Just don't ruin it,'" Divyenndu laughed. He also revealed that he did a completely comedic role in an Amazon show titled Main Monica – a project that, despite having little to no promotion, gave him a chance to flex his comedy chops. While fans love his intense, layered characters, Divyenndu is manifesting more opportunities in full-blown commercial comedy. 'Those who have seen me on stage know I've done hard-core comedy in theatre. Cinema just hasn't given me that chance yet," he said, leaving the door wide open for filmmakers looking for a sharp comic actor in the industry. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 14:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Saiyaara' Box Office collection day 11 (Live): Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri nears Rs 250 crore mark in India; eyes Rs 300 crore next
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have made a powerful debut with their romantic drama 'Saiyaara'. Directed by Mohit Suri , the film is not just winning hearts but also smashing box office records. After a strong second weekend, 'Saiyaara' has neared the Rs 250 crore mark and now aims to hit the Rs 275–300 crore range in the coming days. Saiyaara Movie Review A good second week run The film showed no signs of slowing down in its second week. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, so far 'Saiyaara' earned Rs 1.96 crore on its second Monday (Day 11), taking the total collection to Rs 249.21 crore. The movie is now just a step away from officially entering the Rs 250 crore club. The second weekend was impressive with Saturday and Sunday collections pushing the film closer to the Rs 300 crore mark. The buzz around the film continues to grow, especially among young audiences. One of the biggest highlights of 'Saiyaara's' journey is that the film did not drop below double-digit earnings for the first 10 days, and the film stayed strong with consistent collections. Weekdays could bring a dip in numbers Now, as the film enters its second week, the weekdays could bring some dip in numbers, as usually happens. But if the fall is not too much, the film might smoothly sail past the Rs 275 crore mark and possibly Rs 300 crore soon. Day wise Box Office collection Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 26 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 35.75 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 24 crore Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 25 crore Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 7 (Thursday): Rs 19 crore Week 1 Total: Rs 172.75 crore Day 8 (Friday): Rs 18 crore Day 9 (Saturday): Rs 26.5 crore Day 10 (Sunday): Rs 31.18 crore Day 11 (Monday): Rs 1.96 crore (till 2.05pm) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Total so far: Rs 249.21 crore Beating big films at the Box Office While many recent films have relied on star power, 'Saiyaara' is standing tall based purely on its content, emotions, and music. The film has done better than big releases like 'Dunki', which marked the return of Shah Rukh Khan with Rajkumar Hirani, and 'Singham Again', which brought back the Ajay Devgn–Rohit Shetty pair. 'Saiyaara' has also passed popular films like 'Drishyam 2' (Rs 239.67 crore), 'The Kerala Story' (Rs 239.05 crore), and 'Krrish 3' (Rs 231.79 crore). It is now just above the collections of 'URI: The Surgical Strike' (Rs 244.14 crore), which was called an all time Blockbuster. 'Saiyaara' film review The Times of India gave 'Saiyaara' 3 stars and praised the film's emotional moments. The review said, 'Suri gets the emotional core just right, but the film's uneven pacing intermittently slows things down and often rushes through pivotal turns. Moments of raw emotion do land, though a slightly rushed climax leaves much to be desired.' Ahaan Panday's performance has been getting a lot of attention. The review added, 'Ahaan Panday makes a smashing debut, capturing both the rough-edged swagger of a star-in-the-making and the vulnerability demanded later on. His prowess is on display in the finale as he revisits an earlier scene—channelling Virat 'King' Kohli—transforming the raw passion of the first half into pure emotion later.' Can 'Saiyaara' touch Rs 300 crore? Looking at the current trend, 'Saiyaara' seems all set to cross the Rs 250 crore mark officially by the end of Day 11. If it keeps performing well, the film could even become the second Hindi film of the year to enter the Rs 300 crore club. Tough competition ahead? The next big challenge for 'Saiyaara' will come on 1st August, when two new films, 'Dhadak 2' and 'Son of Sardaar', are set to release. This may affect the film's momentum, but with the love it's receiving from viewers, 'Saiyaara' still has a good chance to keep going strong.
