Jaya Bachchan to portray a negative character in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani?

Karan Johar’s directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani has a very interesting star cast. The movie stars Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.

The shooting of the film is currently going on, and according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Bachchan will be seen playing a negative character in the film.


A source told the portal, “Jaya has never played a negative role in her entire career. Not even a slightly grey character. When she was offered this really evil character her first reaction was, ‘Why me?’”

“Karan had to work really hard on convincing Jaya to take up the offer. In the beginning she had some difficulties in understanding how her character’s devilish mind worked. Being the seasoned actress that she is, she soon got a hang of it. She’s having a blast playing this evil woman,” the source added.

Well, if this report turns out to be true, it will surely be interesting to watch the veteran actress in a negative role.

Johar had earlier directed Bachchan in his movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. In the movie, Bachchan played the role of a helpless mother and had impressed everyone with her performance in it.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is slated to release next year, but the release date is not yet announced.

Kanye West’s relationship with social media has long been chaotic, but his recent posts aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé have taken things to another level. What began as an apology quickly spiralled into yet another controversy, one that once again raised eyebrows and tested the limits of public patience.

On Thursday, West tweeted a direct apology to Jay-Z, writing, “I’m sorry Jay Z.” He followed it with a message that hinted at deeper frustration. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry… but when I needed family… none of these rap n—– had my back.” While some saw this as a step toward reconciliation, the moment didn’t last.

Eric Dane to film 'Euphoria' just 4 days after revealing ALS diagnosis

Just four days after going public with his ALS diagnosis, Eric Dane is heading back to work.

Akshay Kumar hits back at Jaya Bachchan’s ‘flop film’ remark: ‘Only a fool would criticise such films’

At a press event for his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2, Akshay Kumar was asked about recent remarks made by veteran actor and politician Jaya Bachchan, who criticised the title of his 2017 movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Jaya Bachchan had dismissed the film during a public interaction, saying she would never watch a movie with such a title. “Is that even a name for a film?” she asked the audience, adding that the film was a “flop” based on the crowd’s lukewarm response when asked if they had seen it.

Caught off guard, Akshay Kumar initially said he wasn’t aware of the comment but responded with a measured tone: “If she’s said something, maybe she’s right. If making Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a mistake, then I’ll accept that.”
However, he also stood by the intention behind the film. “I’ve made movies like Pad Man, Airlift, Kesari, all with a purpose. I make these films with full honesty. They try to raise awareness, and I believe that counts,” he added. He stressed that films like Toilet and Pad Man are still used by the government to educate people in villages, showing their long-term impact.
