A couple of days ago, an Indian tabloid had quoted Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan as saying that he was looking at his ancestral Pataudi Palace in Madhya Pradesh as his prospective residence where he wanted to live with his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and son Taimur Ali Khan after moving out of Mumbai. However, in an exclusive conversation with a renowned journalist, the Omkara (2006) star denied such plans.

“There are no plans to move out of Mumbai right now! I love this city that has given me everything. I also love being in Pataudi which is the most relaxing and beautiful place in this world. Maybe when I am older, I will spend more time there. But not in the near future. At this time, my work and whole life is in Mumbai,” Saif said.

The actor went on to add that he loves Mumbai which is truly the city of dreams. “I love this city! It has given me everything and is truly the city of dreams. The best and most artistic film minds are gathered here and it is the office of my ambitions. My kids, Tim’s school, my sisters, and the whole world is here,” he added.

On the work front, Saif Ali Khan is waiting for the premiere of his next web show Dilli. Helmed by well-known filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar, the political drama is expected to premiere in January on Amazon Prime Video.

As far as his film projects are concerned, the National Award-winning actor will next be seen in Yash Raj Films’ much-awaited Bunty Aur Babli 2. Also starring Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and debutante Sharvari in pivotal roles, the con-drama is a sequel to the superhit Hindi film Bunty Aur Babli (2005). Saif will soon start shooting for Om Raut’s magnum opus Adipurush wherein he plays the role of antagonist Lankesh. Prabhas plays the lead role of Ram.

Shah Rukh Khan's £1.7m Mumbai home renovation halted by green tribunal

Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Bandra bungalow, Mannat, is under scrutiny after an environmental activist alleged violations of coastal and heritage regulations during its ongoing renovation. India’s environmental watchdog, known as the National Green Tribunal (NGT), has stepped in to investigate the claims, highlighting the tension between urban development and environmental conservation.
Mannat, a Grade III heritage structure, has been Shah Rukh Khan’s residence since 2001. The bungalow, estimated to be worth around £1.7m (200 crore), is undergoing significant renovations, including the addition of floors to the annexe, expanding its built-up area by 616.02 square metres. However, activist Santosh Daundkar has raised concerns over alleged violations of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms, which are designed to protect Mumbai’s ecologically sensitive coastal areas.


Daundkar’s complaint to the NGT accuses Khan of demolishing two heritage structures without obtaining the necessary environmental clearance. He also alleges the illegal construction of a basement six metres below ground level, involving the extraction of groundwater and minor minerals, both prohibited under CRZ rules. Additionally, Daundkar claims that Khan constructed 12 one-bedroom-hall-kitchen flats under the guise of mass housing and later combined them into a luxury single-family residence, violating India’s Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu breaks gender barriers with equal pay policy in debut production 'Bangaram'

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is rewriting the rules in South Indian cinema, and this time, it’s not just with her acting. With her first production venture, Bangaram, she’s made headlines for setting a new standard: equal pay for everyone on set, regardless of gender. That’s something rarely seen in an industry where pay gaps are the norm.

When Samantha launched her production house, Tralala Moving Pictures, in December 2023, her vision was clear: tell stories that matter and create an inclusive space for talent. Bangaram, directed by Nandini Reddy, is the company’s debut film, and it’s already turning heads. While the first-look poster generated plenty of buzz, what really caught people’s attention was Samantha’s insistence on fair wages for all cast members, regardless of gender.
