Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has completed a “wondrous” 55 years in the world of Hindi cinema and to celebrate it he has given himself an AI spin. It was in 1969, when the cine icon stepped into the world of showbiz with ‘Saat Hindustani’ and since then he has captivated the audience with his impeccable performances on screen.
Amitabh took to X (formerly Twitter), where he dropped two AI images of himself.
The first picture has a camera lens in place of his spectacle lens. The second photo has a colourful camera reel like streamers with faces and eyes made on it.
“T 4924 – 55 years in the wondrous world of Cinema… and AI, gives me its interpretation… a presentation by Ef B… self made,” Big B wrote on Twitter.
Even though he started his acting career with ‘Saat Hindustani, Big B had first began his journey as a voice narrator in ‘Bhuvan Shome’ starring...

For almost as long as there has been Bollywood, there has been a Kapoor involved in a major way. The seemingly never-ending dynasty that has ruled Bollywood forever started with the greatest actor of his day Prithviraj Kapoor, was extended sideways by his distant cousin and long-time film producer Surinder Kapoor and continues to this day with such disparate names as Armaan Jain, Sara Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja.
In between, there are no lack of star-studded names: Raj Kapoor, Boney Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan (yes to name drop too). Each has evolved their own style in their own time and in doing so has moulded Bollywood around them in both big and small ways. Yet, what has always been constant has been the power that they have delivered to Bollywood music through the ages, each performance creating a legend. So here we look at the...

The highly anticipated Ittefaq starring Akshaye Khanna, Sonakshi Sinha and Siddarth Malhotra in the lead roles, has received rave reviews for its trailer. This is a remake of the original Ittefaq which starred Rajesh Khanna. Interstingly it had no songs at all, and so it is surprising to see the new version will have a soundtrack, but we are yet to know if any of the songs will feature in the thriller itself.
Now the first song from the film’s soundtrack has just released, titled Ittefaq Se, it is a recreated track of the popular retro classic Raat Baaki, Baat Baaki from the film Namak Halaal.
The retro classic has been given a fresh new makeover, with only part of the chorus lyrics remaining same as the original song. Recreated by Tanishq Bagchi, the song has been sung by popular singer Jubin Nautiyal, while female vocals have been provided by Nikita Gandhi.

Ambarsariya (Punjabi)
Starring Diljit Dosanjh, Navneet Kaur Dhillon,Lauren Gottlieb, Monica Gill
Directed by Mandeep Kumar
Rating:***
It’s easy to warm up to Diljit Dosanjh. He is endearingly street-smart and the archetypal guy-next-door who can surprise you with his ability to change from naïve to knowledgable within no time at all. The type whom you can ask in a house filled with women to come and fix the sink. Something like what Dhanush played in Aanand Rai’s Raanjhanaa, provided Dhanush could be a Sardarji.
To cast Diljit as an affable, somewhat over-bearing, insurance agent who leads a double life, is a scriptural master-stroke , and full credit to writer Dheeraj Rattan for casting Dosanjh in a role that doesn’t flatter to deceive. Dosanjh is the glib-talking simpleton Ambarsariya who fifteen minutes into the film, throws off the mantle of naivete to reveal his hidden identity.

Ram Gopal Varma's latest offering Department about the nexus between crime, punishment and the law is getting more interesting by the day. Recently one reported on Sanjay Dutt shooting a promotional song for the film on his own. Now comes the rather jolting report that the entire climax featuring a fight between Sanjay Dutt and Rana Daggubati has very recently been re-shot, and this time with director Ram Gopal Varma's consent. Says our source, "When Sanju and Ramu saw the climax, Dutt felt something was lacking, not in terms of technique or grandeur but Sanju felt the merger of drama and action between the two encounter cops could go a lot further. You see, Dutt and Rana playing two encounter cops who decided to fight it out are not locked in a Dabangg kind of fight. Rana and Dutt do fight it out man-to-man fist-to-fist. But there is...

Mumbai, Dec 29: If Shirish Kunder is making a film with Amitabh Bachchan, his wife, director Farah Khan, is teaching their little son to recite Big B's famous 'Walk In English, Talk In English' speech from 'Namak Halaal' to improve his English.
Apparently Big B has inadvertently aided Czar's enhanced performance in school. When Czar was under-performing in his English speech, it was Big B's famous monologue that came to the child's rescue.
'I taught it to him. You see, Czar's teachers told me he only spoke in Hindi and Marathi. I was advised to encourage him to speak in English. So I taught him Amitji's 'Namak.
