This 31-year-old film was rejected by Sridevi, turned out to be a blockbuster, was remade twice in South, film is.., lead actress was... In the world of showbiz, we only see the final product of a blockbuster on the screen. However, many decisions come into play that make a film successful at the box office. From a compelling storyline, impeccable performance, to the perfect time of release, many factors need to be taken into account for the same. But, out of many such factors, one most important elements is the right star cast. One such tale is of a film that initially had a different star cast in the lead; however, it finally fell into the lap of another actress whose fate was tied to it. The film that we are talking about is none other than Krantiveer. It was released in the year 1994 and turned out to be a major hit, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year. However, what's interesting is that the star cast of this film was not how the filmmaker initially imagined. The role of Megha Dixit, played by Dimple Kapadia, was first offered to Sridevi and Kajol. But both the stars didn't resonate with the part and declined the role. But eventually, this Mehul Kumar film turned out to be a massive hit, bagging three Screen Awards, four Filmfare Awards, and even a National Film Award. The film was made on a humble budget of Rs. 2 crores and collected Rs. 14.60 crores at the box office. The film featured Dimple Kapadia in the lead and turned out to be a defining point in her career. The film was also later remade in Telugu as Punya Bhoomi Na Desam (1995) and in Kannada as Parodi (2007), grabbing mass appeal. Even though Sridevi missed out on this blockbuster, her career continued to shine. However, this tale is a reminder of how one actor's rejection can turn into another actor's career-defining moment. Today, Krantiveer still resonates with the audience, and its powerful dialogues and performance are cherished by many.

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal: Here's how their love story really began – from a backstage hello to secret holidays, and a royal wedding
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal are now one of Bollywood's most admired couples—but their love story was a quiet one that unfolded behind the scenes. It has been four years since Katrina 'hard launched' their relationship in 2021 by posting their wedding photos straight to Instagram. While many know the couple 'properly' met at Zoya Akhtar 's house—thanks to 'Koffee With Karan'—the real story of their very first meeting had remained a secret. Until now. Their first meeting—behind the stage Speaking to Pinkvilla, Vicky recently revealed that their first official meeting took place at the 2019 Screen Awards. He shared, 'So I was hosting, and I think this was the first time I ever met and interacted with her. On stage, of course, everything is scripted, and we're guided through earpieces. But behind the stage, it was the first time we were introduced formally. Who knew!' That moment, though quick and casual, was the beginning of something truly special—though neither of them knew it at the time. The moment that brought them together After that first award show meeting, their paths crossed again during an interview for The Film Companion, hosted by Anupama Chopra. Years later, in 2024, Vicky mentioned Chopra once more in another interview, saying she played a key part in bringing them together. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo While the pair remained low-key, fans were starting to take notice of their growing bond. A colourful clue at a Holi party In 2020, the two attended a Holi party hosted by Isha Ambani. It was a star-studded gathering that also included Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. But what caught fans' attention was something Katrina posted after the party. She shared a photo of herself resting on someone's chest while wearing a yellow T-shirt. Social media users were quick to notice that Vicky had once worn a yellow T-shirt that looked exactly the same. This led to a wave of online excitement, with many convinced that this was a soft reveal of their romance. Matching posts, different accounts Soon after, Katrina and Vicky posted separate pictures from Alibaug. Even though they didn't appear together in the photos, the background and location looked identical. It didn't take long for fans to connect the dots. Though the couple never confirmed anything at the time, their followers were sure that something special was going on between them. Wedding buzz and secret plans Despite their efforts to keep things private, news of Katrina and Vicky's wedding started spreading months before the big day. Paparazzi followed them closely, and reports about a royal wedding in Rajasthan began to surface. In December 2021, the couple tied the knot in Rajasthan. Their wedding was a private and dreamy affair, with only close friends and family in attendance. When they finally posted pictures from the big day on Instagram, fans couldn't stop gushing. A relationship kept simple and real Since then, the couple has kept their love life mostly out of the spotlight. They don't often post about each other on social media, and they rarely talk about their relationship in interviews. But when they do, it's clear how much love and respect they share. Their chemistry speaks for itself—whether in rare photos, quiet birthday wishes, or simple glances on red carpets.

‘Law & Order Toronto' wins best drama series at Canadian Screen Awards
Citytv's 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent' won best drama series at Sunday's Canadian Screen Awards. The spinoff draws inspiration from real Toronto crime headlines, reimagining them as fictional investigations. The show led all nominees with 20 nods going into the Screen Awards, but came away with three trophies, including best writing in a drama series and best sound in fiction. The series wrapped its second season earlier this year and has a third season in the works. 'Law & Order Toronto' producer Erin Haskett told The Canadian Press in March that she believes the show is especially resonating with Canadians today because they are craving stories they can relate to. 'Canadians want to see our stories told and want to see characters that reflect ourselves back at us on television,' she says. 'I would say today even more, there's such a sense of wanting to see that reflected back as a country and as a people.' This year's Canadian Screen Awards bash was hosted by Edmonton-born comedian Lisa Gilroy in Toronto, capping off a multi-day celebration of Canadian film, television and digital storytelling. 'The Apprentice,' a Canada-Ireland-Denmark co-production about the early years of U.S. President Donald Trump, won best motion picture. It took home five Screen Awards in total, including best performance in a lead role for Sebastian Stan's turn as Trump, and best supporting actor for Jeremy Strong's portrayal of Cohn. Other major winners included Matthew Rankin's absurdist dramedy 'Universal Language,' and Crave's drag queen competition series 'Canada's Drag Race.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 1, 2025.

Canadian Screen Awards to air on TV after all in last-minute programming shift
TORONTO - In a last-minute programming shift, this year's Canadian Screen Awards will broadcast live on television — reversing earlier plans for a streaming-only show. Organizers confirmed the change Thursday, stating that the ceremony celebrating the best in Canadian film, TV and digital media will air Sunday on both CBC TV and CBC Gem. The CEO of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television Tammy Frick previously said going online-only allowed the show to be more 'flexible.' But that had disappointed some of the top nominees, who told The Canadian Press in March that having their moment on traditional television helps spotlight Canadian talent more widely. The Academy said in a statement the programming reversal came down to scheduling around the NHL playoffs — since there is no game slated for Sunday, they are able to air the show live on CBC TV. The Screen Awards will be handed out at five ceremonies starting Friday, culminating in the final awards and gala hosted by Edmonton-born comic Lisa Gilroy. Leading the television categories with 20 nominations is Citytv's 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,' while on the film side, Matthew Rankin's Winnipeg-shot dramedy 'Universal Language' leads with 13 nods. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 29, 2025.
