No one portrays grey roles the way megastar Amitabh Bachchan does, says KGF director Prashanth Neel, who believes all his leading men carry a bit of the superstar's anti-hero persona in them. Neel, who directed the pan-India film KGF: Chapter 1 in 2018, and followed it up with the second edition in 2022, is currently promoting Prabhas-starrer Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire. "Amitabh Bachchan is the biggest inspiration for all my movies. There are a lot of movies that he did where he played the hero, but he was also the villain. That's a genre that was rarely seen post that period. The way he portrayed the greys, I don't think anybody else did it," the writer-director said.
Director Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail has earned Rs 50.68 crore in net box office collections, the makers said. Starring Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankar, the film released in theatres on October 27 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. The film, 12th Fail is based on Anurag Pathak's bestselling novel about the journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi.
Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who gained popularity after the success of the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Kabir Singh, revealed that the actor was not his first choice for the film. In an interview, he revealed that it was Ranveer Singh who was initially approached for the role, but the actor turned it down citing that the character's "dark nature" was not suitable for him.
Vanga also shared that Kapoor's record at the box office was a concern for him at the time, but he had faith in the actor's calibre. "Shahid's track record was a concern; none of his solo films had done R100 crore then. His highest was R65 crore. They used to say this is the kind of business that Telugu movies do, so why was I doing it with this guy. If it was Ranveer, the box office would be higher. But I was always sure about Shahid. He's a fantastic actor," he was reported as saying.

Kumar said he was "overwhelmed with happiness" to learn that the workers were safe. "This is a new India and we all are so proud," he wrote. Following the 17-day frantic operation, prime minister Narendra Modi led the nation in praising the team.

Rapper and singer Badshah opened up about his daughter on a reality show. Following a performance, Badshah, who was evidently moved by it, said: "I cannot tell you the happiness of having a daughter. I have a six-year-old daughter. In the beginning, the life ends - you have to wake up as per her wish, sleep as per her wish. You feel that people used to say that once you become a father then this will happen, but I did not feel anything. You know when the feelings come, when she holds your finger, then when she smiles, then she becomes everything in life (sic)," he said.
Emphasising on the need to reuse attires, Sonam K Ahuja says, "For me, having a product with longevity is luxury. Back in the day, my mother and grandmother would preserve expensive sarees in a muslin cloth, and the tailor would create made-to-measure outfits, and shoes. I'm also doing the same. I grew up appreciating the value of personalisation and handmade [clothes]. This to me is true luxury. I consciously buy items that are made by local artisans, are vintage, and even resold."
