Akshay Kumar extends support towards noble initiative of feeding monkeys in Ayodhya

Akshay Kumar extends support towards noble initiative of feeding monkeys in Ayodhya

The Anjaneya Sewa Trust, under the guidance of Jagatguru Swami Raghavacharya Ji Maharaj, has taken up the noble mission of feeding monkeys as they struggle to survive in Ayodhya, often relying on discarded food. The trust has taken an initiative to feed as many monkeys as possible in the sacred town daily. Known for being a kind and generous sanatani, the trust approached Akshay Kumar.

It is being said that Akshay not only agreed without hesitation but also made a significant donation of Rs. 1 crore to ensure the daily feeding of these sacred beings. We hear despite the fact that monkeys are hailed as one of the most sacred animals, considering Hindus worship Lord Hanuman, their plight has been quite difficult in the sacred town. Akshay Kumar has decided to offer his help to improve their condition.

Talking about the same, founder trustee of Anjaneya Sewa Trust, Priya Gupta says, “I have always known Akshay Kumar to be an extremely kind and generous man be it his staff, his crew or co-actors that work with him or each of his family members. He not only donated instantly and generously, but also he dedicated this great sewa in the name of both his parents Hari Om and Aruna Bhatia and his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna. Akshay is not just a generous donor but also an equally socially conscious citizen of India. He was equally concerned about the citizens and city of Ayodhya and thus we will ensure that no citizen gets inconvenienced while we feed the monkeys and there is no littering on the streets of Ayodhya as a result of feeding the monkeys.”

On the work front, Akshay Kumar is currently wrapping up the shoot of the comedy Housefull 5 which boasts of an extensive ensemble cast. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, is expected to release on June 6, 2025.

BREAKING: Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Veer-Zaara to re-release on its 20th anniversary in overseas territories with the deleted song ‘Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan’

BREAKING: Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Veer-Zaara to re-release on its 20th anniversary in overseas territories with the deleted song ‘Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan’

One of the finest love stories of Hindi cinema, Veer-Zaara(2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, will complete 20 glorious years on November 12 this year. On this landmark occasion, the producers, Yash Raj Films, are all set to re-release the film in overseas territories. The re-release season is currently going on but the films have been re-released in India until now. Hence, the re-release of Veer-Zaara is significant as it’s going to take place in foreign shores.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “To celebrate Veer-Zaara’s 20thanniversary, the studio will have a major re-release on November 7 in overseas territories. They plan to release the film in international markets like North America, the Middle East, the UK & Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa.”

The source continued, “The re-release is special as it’s the first time foreign fans of the film will get a chance to taste the re-release trend. Also, the song ‘Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan’ has been added to the print. The song was deleted during its original release presumably as the film was long. It was not even a part of the VCD though it was included in the DVD version. However, it was never shown on the big screen. But now, it can be enjoyed in all its glory in cinemas.”

November 2024, it seems, will turn out to be a significant month for Shah Rukh Khan. On November 2, he’ll celebrate his 59th birthday. This would be followed by Veer-Zaara’s re-release overseas and then his other memorable film, Karan Arjun (1995), will also re-release worldwide, that is, in India and foreign territories, on November 22.

Directed by Yash Chopra, Veer-Zaara is the story of a Squadron Leader in the Indian Air Force who falls in love with a young Pakistani girl when she visits India. Things take a turn when he goes to Pakistan to meet her and gets arrested on wrong charges. He spends 22 years in jail until he’s helped by a fiery Pakistani lawyer. The epic love story also starred Rani Mukerji, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher and Manoj Bajpayee along with extended cameos by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.

Anees Bazmee reveals Triptii Dimri’s surprising role depth in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3; says, “She’s going to shock everyone with her role and performance”

Anees Bazmee reveals Triptii Dimri’s surprising role depth in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3; says, “She’s going to shock everyone with her role and performance”

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to hit theaters on November 1, featuring an impressive lineup that includes Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri in key roles. Director Anees Bazmee has teased an unexpected twist, noting that Triptii’s performance will amaze viewers. He also highlighted her dynamic on-screen connection with Kartik as a standout element.

Speaking with News 18, Anees Bazmee disclosed that although the trailer hints in one direction, Triptii Dimri’s role is far more significant and central to the plot’s twists. He shared that other actors were initially considered for the part, but casting her proved to be an excellent decision.

The director also emphasized that her role isn’t limited to a few musical scenes her character and performance will surprise audiences, unveiling unexpected layers to her role. He said, “She’s going to shock everyone with her role and performance. They’re sure to say, ‘Achcha, iss tarah hai unka role? Humne toh kabhi socha hi nahi tha.’”

Anees remarked that while talent and dedication are essential, success often needs a bit of luck as well. Triptii, however, possesses a unique mix of qualities. He noted that she’s not only talented and hardworking but also brings warmth and charisma to the set.

Anees quickly recognized Triptii Dimri’s natural compatibility with Kartik Aaryan after meeting her, making her an ideal choice for the role. He stated, “When Triptii came to my mind and then I met her, I realized that she’ll look really good with Kartik.”

He added that Triptii wasn’t the initial choice, as various factors had to be considered. However, she eventually came to mind unexpectedly, leading him to think she might be the perfect fit for the part.

Triptii’s casting emerged as Anees brainstormed new faces who hadn’t previously worked with Kartik, aiming to introduce a fresh dynamic in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. After seeing the results, the entire team believes she was the ideal choice. Her performance has convinced them that no one else could have delivered the same energy, with her on-screen presence proving to be both striking and captivating.

Anees also commended Triptii’s work in Animal with Ranbir Kapoor, recognizing that her growing popularity reflects years of consistent progress and commitment. He observed that her journey wasn’t about overnight fame; instead, her success is rooted in a foundation of hard work across multiple projects.

Over the past seven to eight years, she has steadily delivered standout performances in films like Bulbbul and Qala, gradually establishing her place in the industry.

On the work front, Triptii was last seen in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, released on October 11, 2024, where she starred with Rajkummar Rao as a 90s-era married couple.

The film also featured strong performances from Vijay Raaz, Mallika Sherawat, Archana Puran Singh, and Tiku Talsania. Up next, Triptii will appear in the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
