The buzz around Tere Ishk Mein is at an all-time high as A.R. Rahman’s album continues to trend and the film’s trailer receives widespread applause. Fans are particularly excited about the sizzling chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, whose pairing has quickly become a major talking point ahead of the film’s release. Riding this wave of anticipation, Kriti opened up about her experience working with Dhanush, sharing insights into the creative bond that shaped many of the film’s most memorable moments.

Speaking about her collaboration, Kriti said, “I think Dhanush is an incredible actor. I have always admired his talent and craft. He has a strong hold on his craft, is very nuanced, and brings a lot of layers to his character. He also has experience directing films, so he understands scenes and how they translate on screen. I was excited to work with him because I knew I’d have an actor to really feed off from—and that’s exactly what happened. Even though we hadn’t met before, it worked out beautifully.”

She further described their on-screen dynamic, highlighting the long, intense scenes that required mutual energy and focus. “He’s really collaborative and helpful. Together, we created some magical moments, and you could feel it when a scene worked. We’d look at each other and think, ‘That was a good scene!’ I’ve really enjoyed working with him and hope we collaborate again in the future,” Kriti added.

Directed by Aanand L Rai and penned by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, the musical features compositions by A.R. Rahman with lyrics by Irshad Kamil.

Often described as Bollywood’s “first family,” the Kapoor klan is ready to open their doors-and their dining table-to viewers with their latest Netflix show titled Dining With The Kapoors. The show promises an amalgamation of filmic tales, personal anecdotes, and light-hearted banter, bringing several generations of the iconic family together. But upon the announcement, fans were quick to note that Alia Bhatt was missing, thus piquing curiosity as to why she is not part of the keenly awaited assemblage.

Armaan Jain and Smriti Mundhra, creators of the show, recently spoke with Bollywood Hungama about the speculation. Armaan shared that Alia had prior professional commitments. He said, “I might sound filmy, but like Raj Kapoor said, ‘work is worship’.” Mundhra agreed, continuing, “The Kapoors are extremely committed to work.” According to her, the family tries to make it possible for everyone to come together during important dates in their lives, but there are always one or two individuals who cannot join in. Armaan interjected, adding that this is often the case when families get together for Christmas and Diwali.

The series boasts an impressive ensemble of the Kapoor family: Randhir Kapoor and his daughters, Kareena Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor; Reema Jain and her sons, Adar and Armaan Jain; and Neetu Kapoor with her children, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and Ranbir Kapoor. Joining them are Kunal Kapoor, Zahan Kapoor, Nitasha Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda, Neila Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Anissa Jain, and Bharat Sahni to make it one of the biggest family reunions on screen.

Though Alia couldn’t be there for the shoot, she was in full support for the project. Sharing the promo on her Instagram stories, Alia wrote, “From my experience, this is going to be too much fun. Congratulations Armani… what an amazing job putting this together.”

The trailer captures the warm and affectionate spirit of the Kapoor family. It starts with Kareena Kapoor describing them as “funny, loving and united,” with a shared passion for food. The luncheon was organized by Armaan Jain as a tribute to the late Raj Kapoor on what would have been his 100th birth anniversary. There are sneak peeks of Ranbir and Armaan pulling each other’s legs inside the kitchen, animated discussions on the dining table, and Kareena being teased for her voracious appetite and even her interest in Bollywood gossip.

The trailer ends with the whole family gathering for a family photo and a toast to Raj Kapoor as Ranbir says the famous lines, “Jeena yahan, marna yahan, iske siwa jana kahan.” Dining With The Kapoors premieres on November 21 on Netflix.

Choreographers Piyush Bhagat and Shazia Samji, active in Bollywood for several years now, have shared their take on the raging debate over the increasing entourage cost of celebrities. Recently talking to Hindi Rush, the duo spoke about how some of the biggest stars—such as Aamir Khan and Salman Khan—cover several of their personal expenses themselves, showing the way at a time when the entourage cost has become a hot talking point.

Talking about their experience of working with Salman Khan, the choreographers shared that Salman never puts any excess burdens on filmmakers. “He carries his own Being Human food truck on every shoot”, said the choreographers, adding, “He doesn’t ask the producers to pay for food for his team. Everyone knows that a food tent is set up on his films. The Being Human truck is present on every shoot and they serve yummiest food.” The duo fondly remembers having lunch with the actor, and according to them, the meal feels extra special simply because Salman was dining along with them.

Likewise, they appreciated Aamir Khan’s responsible attitude. Piyush and Shazia claimed that Aamir pays his driver’s salary himself and does not believe in passing on such expenses to the producers. They mentioned one of his quotes: since the driver works for him and not for the film, the film’s budget should not pay for that expense.

Commenting on the bigger problem, the choreographers said that actors have become more aware of the impact created by their entourage after filmmakers started speaking candidly. The duo pointed out that though entourage culture has grown manifold, many stars are now circumspect. They took the example of actress Tamannaah Bhatia as an embodiment of professionalism, saying though she has a team, she sees to it that they don’t cause inconvenience or additional costs.

These comments come at a time when a growing number of Bollywood personalities have been expressing their discontent over the rising entourage cost burden. Filmmaker Karan Johar recently spoke about the issue while talking to Komal Nahta during his YouTube show Game Changer. Johar explained that his objection is a matter of principle and not financial in nature. He explained how productions allocate a certain budget for basics, but beyond that, any personal needs an actor may want-whether in the form of a personal trainer or special food-requires them to pay for it themselves. He further explained he is ready to pay only when such support becomes essential to the film, as in the case of a sports drama that requires certain physical preparation.
