Salman Khan & Aayush Sharma’s next titled Dhak?

Of late, Bollywood was buzzing with rumours that Salman Khan and his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma were joining hands to headline the official remake of superhit Marathi film Mulshi Pattern (2018). And if fresh reports are to be believed, the remake has been titled Dhak.

A source close to the development informs an entertainment portal, “Many thought that the makers might call it Mulshi Pattern itself, since they have bought the official rights to the film, but they decided against it. The team has titled it Dhak which means powerful in Hindi.”


According to reports, Khan plays a cop in the film, while Sharma will be seen in the role of a gangster. “Salman loved the concept and the rural-urban conflict that happens when farmers, who live near the cities, sell off their lands for money and their children resort to crime when the money runs out. In Mulshi Pattern, the son becomes a cocky, arrogant gang leader but is arrested by an Inspector, an honest, upright, tough cop who is out to get the gangsters and is willing to use any means for that. It is a cat-and-mouse chase for the gangster and the cop as the latter plans various methods of nabbing the former and is finally successful,” the source says in conclusion.

Apart from the Bollywood remake of Mulshi Pattern, Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma are rumoured to be teaming up for Sajid Nadiadwala’s next production venture, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali also. Co-starring Pooja Hegde, the film will be directed by writer-director Farhad Samji. Slated to release on Eid 2021, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali will start rolling after Khan wraps up his ongoing project, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
