"Not Just For The Laughter But...":Gautam Adani On Why He Likes Munna Bhai Film
Rajkumar Hirani's Munna Bhai M.B.B.S served as a reminder that "true healing goes far beyond surgery", Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Friday said, as he spoke about the movie that is one of his all-time favourites, "not just for the laughter, but for the message". Mr Adani was speaking at the 5th Annual Conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery - Asia Pacific, when he shared an anecdote about his liking for the Sanjay Dutt-starrer movie. "Let me share something personal. One of my all-time favourite films is Munna Bhai MBBS. Not just for the laughter, but for the message. Munnabhai was not just healing people with medicine; he was healing them with humanity. It reminded us all that true healing goes far beyond surgery," he said. "One of my all-time favourite films is Munna Bhai MBBS. Not just for the laughter, but for the message. Munna Bhai was not just healing people with medicine; he was healing them with humanity. It reminded us all that true healing goes far beyond surgery. Healing is hope. Healing is humanity," he added. Healing is hope and healing is humanity, the industrialist said. "As Munna Bhai said - be it a magic trick or a surgery - there is only one thing common in both, and that is, humanity," he said. Mr Adani recalled the time when he made the bold decision of leaving for Mumbai at the age of 16. "I bought a second-class train ticket and left for Mumbai with no degree, no job, and no backup except a burning desire to define my own path. If you want something from your heart, then the whole universe becomes interested in introducing him to you," he said. In Mumbai, he said, he began learning to "sort and polish diamonds". "Each stone I polished taught me patience, precision, and perseverance. My first deal with a Japanese buyer earned me Rs 10,000 in commission. The money never mattered. The moment did - because that was the moment when I realized that my beliefs would have to always outpace my doubts," he said. "And that is the truth about entrepreneurship. It never begins with a grand vision. It begins with a spark of conviction," he added. It begins with the courage to act, even when the future is uncertain, Mr Adani said. "And it begins with the willingness to dream alone and then walk alone, before others join the path," he added.

When Sanjay Dutt recalled Sunil Dutt's hilarious reaction to him crashing a car, but not forgetting THIS
Sanjay Dutt , the versatile actor, has been winning fans' hearts with his peculiar style and innate acting skills, whether it's action sequences or emotional confrontations. While his acting made headlines, Dutt's substance abuse in the past is no stranger to the fans. Sanjay Dutt recalls the incident... This happened on Salman Khan 's show Dus Ka Dum, where Sanjay made a guest appearance with Jackie Shroff . During the show, the 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' actor narrated an incident between him and his father, Sunil Dutt , leaving the other two stunned and in laughter. The incident occurred before Dutt's Bollywood debut, which ended with him having cuts on his face. 'There is one incident I remember, I was doing a film with Rajiv Rai . So, I went to his place at night for a narration. The narration never happened, but we started consuming liquor. Later, when it was 2 am, I left his house in an inebriated state, and I crashed my car,' the 65-year-old said. 'It was before 'Rocky'; the glass broke on my face, so I had all the cut marks. He had given me a present of four liquor bottles, and with that, I went home and slept,' he continued, before hilariously adding, 'The next morning, when Dutt Sahab ( Sunil Dutt) woke me up, the first thing he said to me was that it is okay that you had an accident, he forgave me, but he said, 'How did you not forget those 4 bottles in the car, how did you remember those?'' Sanjay Dutt's films... On the work front, Sanjay Dutt starred in two movies that were released this year, 'The Bhootnii' and 'Housefull 5.' The latter was a multi-starrer and had a smashing box office run, breaking the record of its earlier instalments.

Sanjay Dutt: My circle of friends has become smaller now
Sanjay Dutt Sanjay Dutt has always cherished spending time with friends. However, over the years, the actor admits that his circle of friends has gradually become smaller. Now dividing his time between Mumbai and Dubai, Dutt finds himself in Mumbai mostly for work, while Dubai remains his haven for family life. Whenever he returns to Mumbai, he makes it a point to reconnect with those closest to him. Once known for hosting lavish gatherings at his Mumbai home, Dutt now prefers a quieter lifestyle. Speaking candidly, he shares, 'My circle has become smaller over time. I really enjoy having meaningful conversations with my close friends. These are old friends, nothing related to the film industry or business. They drop by occasionally—we laugh, talk, have a drink. It's simple and genuine.' The K.G.F: Chapter 2 actor made these remarks while attending a celebration in Mumbai, marking two years of GlenWalk, a beverage brand he endorses. Dutt has been the face of GlenWalk, founded by his long-time friend Mokksh Sani. The two have shared a bond for over two decades. Reflecting on their collaboration, Mokksh Sani—also the founder of The Living Liquidz—said, 'The response has been fantastic, and we're continuing to grow. I focus on manufacturing, but I always turn to Sanjay for marketing insights. He's the face of our brand, yet he gives us full creative freedom, which is invaluable. More than that, I've always been a huge fan of his. I often send him videos whenever I'm watching his films like Vaastav or Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. '

This cult film was rejected by 4 heroes, won more than 20 awards, the movie is..., lead actor was... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, where fame is always fleeting, nothing is predictable or goes as planned. An actor who would be winning hearts one day would suddenly disappear. Similarly, sometimes films with big star casts fail to meet the expectations, and on other days, a newcomer takes everyone by storm. How a film turns out at the box office and becomes a redefining moment for an actor, nobody can tell. History has also proved that sometimes what might not work for others might work for someone else. An actor's rejection can turn to become another actor's redemption. A similar story happened when a script that was once considered risky and unconventional by many stars turned out to strike gold at the box office. The film we are talking about was rejected by 4 big heroes, but later it became a cult classic and went on to bag 25 awards. Moreover, it turned to redefine a fading star's career. Yes, the film we are referring to is none other than Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Made on a humble budget of just Rs. 10 crores, this film turned out to do exceptionally well at the box office, earning over Rs. 22.97 crores in India and Rs. 34.82 crores at the box office, more than thrice its budget. But besides the commercial success, the film carved a legacy that went far beyond numbers. However, what makes the story more intriguing is that this Rajkumar Hirani film was first offered to R. Madhavan, followed by Anil Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi. In fact, even the badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, was also shortlisted; however, he had to back out at the last moment due to his back injury. But eventually, this film landed on Sanjay Dutt's luck and became a career-defining moment for him. Sanjay Dutt was in dire need of revival, following the controversy of the 1993 Mumbai bomb blast case, and this film did justice to his need. He played the role of a lovable gangster turned medical student who won the hearts of millions with his impeccable performance and relatable character for the audience. The film quickly grabbed eyeballs and became a major hit. It went on to win 25 awards, including the National Award for Best Popular Film and the Filmfare Award for Best Comic Actor for Sanjay Dutt Besides the major commercial success, this film also had an emotional impact that resonates even today. Sunil Dutt, Sanjay Dutt's real father, played the role of his on-screen father, and that also marked Sunil Dutt's last film before he passed away. Besides Sanjay Dutt in the lead, performances from Arshad Warsi, Gracy Singh, Jimmy Shergill, Boman Irani and Rohini Hattangadi were equally praised. This character still strike a chord with the Indian audience today. From being rejected by the four superhit stars to becoming a cult classic and a refining moment in Sanjay Dutt's career, this movie is proof that what's written in the fate can never slip away from you.
