Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup team up after 3 decades for Sab Kushal Mangal

Bappi Lahiri and Usha Uthup are known for their amazing collaborations in songs like Koi Yahan Aha Nache Nache, Rambha Ho Ho Ho and Tu Mujhe Jaan Se Bhi Pyaara. Now, around after three decades, the two legendary singers have once again teamed up for a song in Akshaye Khanna, Priyaank Sharma, and Riva Kishan starrer Sab Kushal Mangal.

While talking about how he got both the legendary singers together for the song, music director Harshit Saxena stated, “I remember the day when lyricist Sameer Anjaan and I went to Bappida’s bungalow and sang the song for him. We had not made the antara till then. Bappida loved the song he even suggested a few tunes for the antara. When we told him we would like to rope in Usha Uthup too for the song, he was elated and immediately called up Ushaji and sang the song to her on the phone. Adjusting the scale of both the singers was a challenge, but we managed that well. I’m so glad we could bring these two legends together.”


Well, the makers have launched the audio of the track and the video is yet to be released. It is surely a treat to listen to Bappi Da and Usha Uthup’s vocals in a song after a long time.

Sab Kushal Mangal will mark the debut of Priyaank Sharma and Riva Kishan. While talking about the debutants, director Karan Vishwanath Kashyap stated, “Both Priyaank and Riva are extremely hard working. Though both of them come from illustrious backgrounds, they went through the same drill that any newcomer to the industry would. I auditioned them both and if I didn’t think they suited their characters, I definitely wouldn’t have cast them in the film. They both have done such a fantastic job in the film that you have to see it believe it. I have no doubt that they both have bright futures ahead of them.”

Sab Kushal Mangal is slated to release on 3rd January 2020.

Priyanka Chopra becomes India's highest-paid actress with S S Rajamouli film

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated film, SSMB29, alongside Mahesh Babu, following the monumental success of RRR. Rajamouli’s next project, with a budget exceeding Rs. 1000 crore, is expected to be a massive cinematic experience, and fans are eagerly awaiting the fresh pairing of Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.

While excitement builds around the film's grand scale, another major talking point is Priyanka Chopra's reported remuneration for the project. The actress, known for her global appeal, is said to be charging a hefty Rs. 30 crore for SSMB29, making her the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry. This has reportedly pushed Deepika Padukone, who was previously the highest-paid with a salary of Rs. 15 to 20 crore per film, into second place. Priyanka’s fee has surpassed Deepika’s by a significant margin.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
