Actor Fardeen Khan is all set to reunite with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the upcoming series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.” This collaboration comes full circle after a much-publicized rejection Khan faced from Bhansali years ago.
In the early 2000s, Khan actively sought work from the renowned director. However, Bhansali delivered some tough feedback, famously stating he didn’t see the “fire in his eyes” needed for the project. While “brutal” at the time, Khan surprisingly took it positively, crediting the experience for pushing him to improve.
Fast forward to today, Khan lands a role in Bhansali’s ambitious project. This turn of events highlights the director’s meticulous approach to casting and his openness to actors who demonstrate growth.

7. Pushpa 2 Soars: Satellite Rights Snagged By Jayantilal Gada, Allu Arjun’s Star Power Sizzles on TV
The highly anticipated Pushpa 2 has scored a big win ahead of its release. Industry sources report that veteran distributor Jayantilal Gada secured the satellite rights for the film across all five major South Indian languages – Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. This “blanket language deal” signifies the immense buzz surrounding the sequel.
The move further fuels speculation about the film’s satellite rights price tag, rumored to be a whopping Rs 80 crore (approximately $9.6 million). This could be the “biggest deal in modern times” for a South Indian film, driven by the combined power of Allu Arjun’s immense popularity and the Pushpa franchise’s established fanbase.
Shriya Pilgaonkar, known for her role in the popular web series Mirzapur, recently addressed rumors circulating online that she is an adopted child.
In an interview, Pilgaonkar clarified, “There was a random article that said I was adopted. No, I’m not adopted. It’s absolutely untrue.” She playfully added, “This is not even something I need to justify… I’m not going to flash my birth certificate on Instagram to prove my point.”
Pilgaonkar is the daughter of actors Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar. The rumors seem to be unfounded, and this is the first time the actress has publicly addressed them. Read more:
