Released on 12th July, Hrithik Roshan’s latest film Super 30 has turned out to be a box-office hit within a week of hitting theatres. Based on the eventful life of noted mathematician Anand Kumar, the biographical drama has been doing phenomenal business ever since entering theatres, taking its total tally to an impressive ₹ 80.36 crore so far.
After his last film Kaabil, which hit screens in 2017, Super 30 is also set to be a mega-hit for the superstar. As we all know that Roshan worked on the project assiduously for close to two years and now when the audience has rewarded him with excellent response for his performance, he is obviously ecstatic.
Talking about the success of the film and the best compliment which he received for his performance in it, Hrithik Roshan told an Indian daily, “It is always a great feeling when you are applauded for your work. The best compliment came in only a couple of days back, from the man himself. I wasn’t there at the screening when Anand sir watched the film. So recently, when he was patched in with Nandish (Singh, co-star) and me in a TV interview from Patna, he gave me his feedback and I screamed out of happiness. There can be no better validation than this to my work.”
Reacting to Anand Kumar’s recent revelation about his tumour, Roshan said, “I got to know about it very recently, and was taken aback and shocked by the news. We interacted on so many occasions in these last two years but he never mentioned it to me. I just hope and pray that he gets well soon.”
After the super success of Super 30, Hrithik Roshan is now looking forward to the release of his next film titled War. Produced by Yash Raj Films, War is an action entertainer, also featuring Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor in lead roles. The movie is set to enter theatres on 2nd October, 2019.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
