Shah Rukh Khan is a connoisseur of art: Kamal Haasan
New Delhi– Kamal Haasan, who shared the screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Hey Ram, paid a heartfelt tribute to the superstar, calling him a connoisseur of art.
“I don’t see a superstar in Shah Rukh Khan and he doesn’t see a super director in me. We are friends. He made that film for free. This cannot be done by a superstar but by a fan only. He is a connoisseur of art and a good actor. I am ever thankful to him. We don’t see all that. Later you (media) give us the title and we very shyly accept it,” Kamal Hassan said while talking about his working equation with SRK on the sidelines of the “Indian 2” promotion.
Kamal Haasan also shared poignant insights into their professional relationship and the impact of the Indian audience on his career.
He said, “I was just a South Indian actor; you people made me into an Indian actor. I didn’t know a word of Hindi when I was doing my first film, I was exactly as Ek Duje Ke Liye hero was and without your support and applause I couldn’t have come back onto this stage.”
Helmed by Shankar, “Indian 2”, is a vigilante action thriller, featuring Kamal Haasan in the lead, reprising his role as Senapathy, an ageing freedom fighter turned vigilante who fights against corruption.
The film also stars Siddharth, SJ Suryah, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simha, Vivek, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gulshan Grover, Samuthirakani and Nedumudi Venu in the ensemble cast, slated for 12th July 2024 release.

Talking about this trip, Pranitaa, who is known for her show ‘Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki’, said: “During our trip, we thoroughly enjoyed water sports and the delectable food.

This experience brought us all closer together and created a lasting memory for our family.”
Talking about her travel companions, she said: “I was travelling with friends who are like family, and that added a special touch to any journey. I travelled with my family and my friend Shiny Doshi, and their presence made the trip even more enjoyable and meaningful. Such friends provide support, share in the joy of new experiences, and create lasting memories that strengthen the bond between us.”
Pranitaa further said: “We have spent five wonderful days in the Maldives. With my daughter, Anysha, now in school, all our vacations revolve around her schedule, which has been a significant shift for us. Our vacations are now more planned and structured, ensuring that we make the most of our time together while accommodating her school commitments.”
The actress shared that she wants to travel more.
“I would love to travel regularly, but with family, it requires better planning. While spontaneous trips were more common in the past, travelling with family necessitates careful preparation to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved,” she concluded.

Richa Chadha is all set to work on next project and it’s going to be a comedy film
Mumbai– Actress Richa Chadha, who is all set to welcome her firstborn in July, has signed her next, a comedy film and the work is set to begin in October.
The script of the film which is a comedy genre, is already ready and has been written by Amitosh Nagpal. The film is set in North India.
Richa commented on her work during her maternity break: “While I can’t speak for all women, because it depends on each individual what their journey is like, I am determined to get back to work as soon as possible, and not take a long break, as I have pending commitments.”
The actress, who is married to star Ali Fazal, said that she takes inspiration from her own mother, who managed both roles with grace and efficiency.
“I believe I can handle both duties effectively as well because it depends on the kind of support system you have around you and how hands-on your partner is. In my case, I feel blessed to have both those things figured out,” she said.
She doesn’t feel it is out of the ordinary.
“I have seen the badass women of Mumbai take local trains well into their 9th month, heading to work, looking perfectly groomed with their gajras intact. I am very inspired by the average Indian woman and don’t want this to be treated as a medical condition, it is not. It is a natural part of life”.
A source close to the production of the film said that Richa loved the script and it’s a really fun concept.
“The pre-production work is set to take place in August and will go on floors in October. The film is meant to be shot at the brink of winter in the north,” she added. (IANS)
