Recent media reports have brought actor Sanjay Dutt into focus following a controversy linked to a song from the film KD: The Devil. According to these reports, he appeared before the National Commission for Women (NCW) in Delhi after concerns were raised about the song’s content. The issue began after the Hindi version of the track, featuring Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi, was released online. Some viewers criticised the song for what they described as suggestive lyrics and visuals, with particular concern about how easily such content can be accessed by younger audiences.

As the criticism grew, complaints were reportedly submitted to authorities including the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the body that oversees film certification. The Hindi version of the song was later removed from official platforms, while versions in other languages continue to be available.

Reports also indicate that references were made to legal provisions such as the Information Technology Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, which are often cited in cases involving online content and child safety concerns.

During the reported interaction, Sanjay Dutt is said to have clarified that his role was limited to performing in the song and that he was not involved in its writing or creative direction. He is also reported to have expressed regret over the situation and acknowledged the importance of being mindful about how content is perceived by audiences.

In addition, reports suggest he has indicated plans to support the education of (50) girls from tribal communities in Maharashtra, positioning it as a constructive step in response to the controversy.

The situation reflects a broader pattern where film and music content in India is facing closer public and regulatory attention, especially on digital platforms where reach is immediate and widespread. Public opinion remains divided, with some calling for stricter scrutiny before release and others questioning how such content clears existing checks.

Overall, the episode underlines the ongoing balance between creative expression and social responsibility, particularly in a landscape where content can quickly reach diverse audiences.

Zee Studios has announced its upcoming film The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman, starring Jackie Shroff, and the project is being noted within the trade for attempting a departure from the conventional superhero format in India. Unlike earlier efforts in the genre that have largely focused on younger protagonists and action-led narratives, this film places an elderly character at the centre, indicating a shift towards a more family-oriented treatment.

The film is directed by Manish Saini, whose previous work includes the National Award-winning Gujarati film Dhh. That film was recognised for its grounded storytelling and focus on childhood experiences, and early details about this project suggest a similar inclination towards emotion-driven narratives rather than scale-driven spectacle.

Based on currently available information, the story revolves around a child who believes his grandfather has special abilities. The narrative appears to explore this belief against the backdrop of a larger science fiction element involving an alien-related development, while keeping the focus on family dynamics. The premise seems to rely on the ambiguity between imagination and reality rather than presenting a straightforward superhero arc.

The supporting cast includes Prateik Babbar, Sharat Saxena and Bhagyashree Dasani, along with other actors, indicating a multi-generational narrative structure. The film is produced by Amdavad Films and presented by Zee Studios, which has been involved in a mix of mainstream and mid-budget projects in recent years.

From a trade perspective, the film’s positioning suggests an attempt to combine elements of science fiction with a domestic, family-based setting. This approach differs from earlier Indian superhero films that have relied more heavily on visual effects and action. However, at this stage, most of the available information comes from initial promotional material and industry reports, and the final tonality and scale of the film will only become clearer closer to release.

The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman is currently expected to release in summer 2026, and its reception will likely indicate how audiences respond to alternative interpretations of the superhero genre within the Indian market.

Actor Ameesha Patel recently spoke about her family’s long connection with the Nehru Gandhi family. She shared that this relationship goes back to her grandfather Rajni Patel, who was a well known legal expert and political figure. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ameesha explained that her grandfather had a close association with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. She said that he was actively involved in politics and often worked closely with her. According to Ameesha, her grandfather held important roles in the Congress party and was part of several public initiatives during that time.

She also shared that this connection was not limited to professional matters but extended to personal family events. Talking about her parents’ wedding, she said, “Mrs Indira Gandhi was the one who fixed the date of my parents’ wedding. There was no kundali match to set the date for their wedding. My grandfather, Barrister Rajni Patel, asked Indira Gandhi, ‘Indira, when are you free?’ She said, ‘Rajni, I am free on the 4th of July.’ The date was booked on the 4th of July. It was booked in Taj Mahal Palace, South Bombay, Colaba. And that’s how my parents got married.”

Ameesha further recalled an early moment from her life. She said, “When I was born at Breach Candy Hospital, the first person to come and see me was Indira Gandhi,” highlighting how close the families were.

She also mentioned that her grandfather contributed to public projects, including the Nehru Planetarium, which was built in honour of Jawaharlal Nehru.

Talking about her childhood, Ameesha said she grew up meeting well known personalities. These included artist MF Husain and political figures like Praful Patel and Rajiv Shukla.

On the professional side, Ameesha made her debut with Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai alongside Hrithik Roshan. She later returned with Gadar 2, which became one of the major hits of 2023.

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui recently spoke about his 16 year old daughter Shora and her interest in acting. In a recent interview, he shared that she is passionate about performing but has not watched many of his films. When asked about people online appreciating Shora and whether she plans to join films in the future, Nawazuddin said, “She will complete her studying first, then we will see. She is passionate about acting though.” He made it clear that her education is the priority before any career decisions.

He also spoke about how honest she is with him. “All daughters are straightforward with their fathers. She hasn’t watched many of my films. She might have watched Gangs of Wasseypur discreetly. But, she keeps criticizing me for my dance,” he said.

Talking about her reactions, he added in a light tone, “She asks me not to do it. I am a poor dancer. She has destroyed my confidence. I am low on confidence about dancing now. I will try again. It is not necessary for everything to be perfect, some people just want to have fun,” said Nawazuddin.

In an earlier interview with Film Companion, he had also shared how serious she is about acting. He said, “My daughter is taking training right now. She herself went and got admitted to the performing arts faculty, haath jod ke teacher ke saamne (with folded hands in front of her teacher) she said, ‘I want to learn acting,’”

On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will next be seen in Main Actor Nahin Hoon, directed by Aditya Kripalani. He is also part of Tumbbad 2, which recently started filming. The film is directed by Adesh Prasad and features Sohum Shah returning to his role, while also working as a co producer.

Overall, Nawazuddin’s comments show a simple and honest family dynamic, where his daughter openly shares her opinions while also following her own interest in acting.

The film Lagaan is still remembered for its story, music, and strong performances. But apart from what was seen on screen, there were many interesting moments behind the scenes that people are still learning about. In a recent conversation with Just Too Filmy, Aamir Khan shared one such incident from the set. Even though he was the lead actor and also the producer, he was treated like everyone else when it came to following rules.

Talking about the experience, he said, “Lagaan had so many actors, and she was the second AD. She had to plan all the timings—about who would come at what time, who would have breakfast when, etc. They used to keep 15 minutes for breakfast, and I eat slowly, I do everything slowly, so I told them to call me 15 minutes earlier. She scolded me and said, ‘For you, the whole hair and makeup team will not come 15 minutes earlier’.”

The assistant director he mentioned was Reema Kagti. Aamir explained that she did not hesitate to speak strictly, even to him. He said, “I’m the producer and she is scolding me. I said, ‘It takes time for me.’ She said, ‘I don’t care, you have to come…’ She spoke to me very harshly. I felt hurt. So I said, ‘From now on, I will not have breakfast.’ It didn’t affect her; she said, ‘Very good, you can be ready on time then.’ After a week, exhausted, I went back to having breakfast there again.”

This shows how seriously discipline was followed during the shoot. Director Ashutosh Gowariker made sure that everyone stayed on schedule.

Filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia also shared another incident in an interview with Friday Talkies. He explained how strict the rules were, even for Aamir. “There were clear instructions that the bus would leave at a fixed time, with only a three-minute grace period for anyone running late. On the third day, Aamir was late. Ronit Roy was handling security, and everyone was already seated on the bus, waiting for him. Everyone was looking at me, wondering what I would do. I was nervous, but I knew I had to set an example,” he said.

He further added, “I told the driver to leave Aamir behind, but he refused. Ronit was standing at the door of the bus, waiting for Aamir. At one point, I just kicked Ronit. He fell out, and I grabbed the driver by the neck and told him, ‘I will break your neck if you don’t start driving.”

Despite the situation, Aamir understood why such strict rules were needed for a big film like Lagaan. Released in June 2001, the film became one of the most well known films in Indian cinema. It was nominated for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category and won eight National Film Awards.
