Starring superstar Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles, the forthcoming Hindi feature film Bharat has been in the news ever since its official announcement a couple of months ago.
While we keep reading something or the other about the movie almost every day, fans got really excited when reports came out that Katrina Kaif will also play an important role in the flick.
Katrina and Salman Khan have together delivered a couple of blockbusters in the past, the most recent one being the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). When the fans heard the rumours that the hit duo is coming together once again, they couldn't keep calm. However, Kat’s recent interview with an Indian daily might break their hearts.
In her recent interview with a leading daily, Kaif rubbished all rumours which stated she would be there in Bharat.
“I am not a part of that film. My next is Remo D’souza’s film with Varun (Dhawan), which I am going to start work on after wrapping up Aanand L Rai’s film, Zero. There is still a little bit of work left to complete that film. I should start work on the dance film by the last quarter of the year."
Before Zero, Kat will be seen in Yash Raj Films’ Thugs Of Hindostan, co-starring Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the principal cast.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
