Vivek Oberoi on Omkara's re-release in theaters: "I feel so much gratitude to be a part of such a classic"

Omkara appears, feels, and smells real. When gang wars break out on the rusty roads of a small town in Uttar Pradesh between Omkara (Ajay Devgn), his mentor Bhaisaab (Naseeruddin Shah), Omkara's two favorite disciples Kesu Firangi (Vivek Oberoi) and Langda Tyagi (Saif Ali Khan), and their opponents, you're no longer watching the characters; you're watching a world where Shakespeare must sound like a spear that shakes. Vishal Bharadwaj delves deep into the guts of north Indian politics, creating a gallery of virile characters that leap out of their literary predecessors and perform a dance of crime-driven dynamics on the nozzle of their country's weapons.

Aside from casting superstars as characters, Vishal's greatest accomplishment is the irony that highlights the dark goings-on in the terrible political cauldron of the cow-belt: these are rude guys propelled by a literary background about which they are completely unaware. Shakespeare is as foreign to Vishal's characters as a creative compromise would be for this filmmaker.

Vishal's political fable is both powerful and long-lasting. The most interesting discussions between the characters depict the complexities of gender and politics in a world where laws are designed to be disregarded. Vivek Oberoi reminisces about his role as the desi Cassio.

Vivek, your performance at Omkara is remembered till this day. Sometimes magic happens on a film set, and most creative people spend their entire lives trying to be a part of it. I was fortunate that Vishal bhai cast me as Kesu Firangi in an all-star cast, and we became good friends off screen.

You shot the movie in a village in Uttar Pradesh. It was great to live in that full village reconstructed by Kumar Mangat ji, who was very passionate about this film.

You had a ball shooting 'Beedi Jalaile'. Even today, when I hear 'Beedi', it brings back many happy memories. The ability to adapt Shakespeare so naturally that it feels like a narrative from India's hinterland is an extraordinary achievement for the entire team. Vishal Bhai's tunes and Gulzar Saab's lyrics are consistently amazing.

What was it like filming alongside Saif Ali Khan and Ajay Devgn? Ajay and Saif were like big brothers on set, and we got to experience everything from pranks to poetry in that tiny hamlet.

Your favorite Omkara memory? One of my greatest memories is learning to play the guitar in between shots, with Saif assisting with the chords, so that I could teach Bebo to serenade on film. They weren't a relationship back then, but destiny brought them together later in life. So many great memories.

Your performance was much appreciated. When I won best supporting actor for my performance, I knew it wouldn't have been possible without the backing of the entire team. I am extremely grateful to be a part of such a classic.

When Young Sanjay Dutt 'Proposed' to Saira Banu: A Heartwarming Memory

On Sanjay Dutt's birthday, July 29, yesteryear actress Saira Banu shared a delightful story from his childhood. Taking to Instagram, she reminisced about the time when a young Sanjay “proposed” to her, capturing the sweet bond they've shared over the years.

Saira posted a touching photo of Sanjay with her late husband, the legendary Dilip Kumar, and wrote, “@duttsanjay has always been like family to me. From Ammaji to Aapaji, to Sahib, and to me, we’ve watched him grow from a tiny toddler into the remarkable person he is today.”

Saira and Dilip Kumar enjoyed a close relationship with Sanjay’s parents, Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt. She recalled, “When Nargis Aapa would come to our house for functions, he would accompany her – this cute, good-looking kid… Nargis Ji would then shake his hands and say, ‘Chalo, Saira Ji ko bolo tum kya bolte ho mujhe? (Tell Saira ji, what you keep telling me)’. And then Sanju would look at me and say, ‘Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga’ (I’ll marry Saira Banu) in a cute little voice. So adorable! I believe Sharmila Tagore and I were Sanju’s top favorites.”

She concluded her heartfelt note with, “Many hands make light work. We’ve all cherished being part of his journey. He holds a special place in my heart. With all my love and blessings, I wish him a very happy birthday.”

Sanjay Dutt, who turned 65 on Friday, was recently seen in a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. He will next appear in filmmaker Prem’s multilingual pan-India film KD – The Devil, where he is introduced as ‘Dhak Deva’.

After working with Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar believes Ranveer Singh's energy was a "cultural shock" for him; he calls him "most indispensable" in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was directed by Karan Johar and starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Karan Johar, who just released Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, praised Ranveer Singh on set for his energy and passion. Working with Singh, according to Johar, was a "cultural shock" after working with Ranbir Kapoor, who is known for his more controlled enthusiasm.

"No one brings the kind of energy to a film set that Ranveer Singh does," Johar said. "And before this, I had worked with Ranbir (Kapoor), who actually used to come to the set with a very calm, composed energy during Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. It was a cultural shock for me."

Johar continued, "Then I realised that all the hard work he (Ranveer) puts in, all that enthusiasm and passion he brings, is solely and purely to enhance his performance. I haven't seen this kind of energy before, and I won't see it again, but I knew one thing: he was the most indispensable character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. There would be no Rocky Randhawa if there wasn't Ranveer Singh."

In terms of the film, RRKPK has earned more than Rs 100 crore at the box office. Aside from Ranveer and Alia Bhatt, the film's ensemble cast also includes Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi.

कब छोड़ता है ये रोग जी को,

दिल भूल जाता है जब किसी को,

आदमी मुसाफिर है, आता है जाता है,

आते जाते रास्ते पे यादें, छोड़ जाता है ...

Translated, and edited..

Human beings are mere travellers,

In their journey, they come and they go,

Leaving behind a trail of beautiful memories,

Some get you high, some get you low..

BREAKING: Veer-Zaara to re-release in more than 600 screens overseas on November 7, making it the BIGGEST Bollywood re-release ever; Shah Rukh Khan-starrer to release in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman for the first time

Last week, Bollywood Hungama was among the first to report that Veer-Zaara (2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, will be re-released in foreign markets on November 7. Additionally, the song 'Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan' has been included to the print. The song was omitted during its original release, therefore this is the first time it can be experienced in its entirety on the big screen. Bollywood Hungama has recently revealed more, intriguing facts about the re-release, which will take place just 5 days before its 20th anniversary.

Bollywood Hungama has heard that Veer-Zaara will debut in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. The producers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), have even published a poster commemorating this accomplishment.

And that is not all. A source told Bollywood Hungama that YRF has gone all out with Veer-Zaara's re-release. It will be shown on over 600 screens in international countries. This is perhaps the biggest re-release of a Bollywood film overseas."

Apart from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, Veer-Zaara will be published in the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa.

Interestingly, the re-release of Veer-Zaara has sparked excitement among fans of the film. Bookings for the film in Germany began a few days ago, and the response has been positive. As a result, it will not be surprising if Veer-Zaara draws large numbers around the world this weekend.

November 2024, it appears, will be a big month for Shah Rukh Khan. On November 2, he turned 59. This will be followed by the re-release of Veer-Zaara overseas, and on November 22, his other outstanding picture, Karan Arjun (1995), will be re-released worldwide, that is, in India and foreign regions.

Veer-Zaara, directed by Yash Chopra, tells the story of a Squadron Leader in the Indian Air Force who falls in love with a young Pakistani girl while visiting India. Things take a turn when he travels to Pakistan to meet her and is detained on incorrect accusations. He spends 22 years in prison before receiving assistance from a fierce Pakistani lawyer. The epic love drama also starred Rani Mukerji, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee, with extended cameos from Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.
