Christian Bale sarcastically credits Leonardo DiCaprio for his cinematic career; “Any role that anybody gets, it’s only because he’s passed it on”

Christian Bale, who is gearing up for his star-studded feature Amsterdam , cheekily revealed that he – and many other actors – owe their cinematic careers to Leonardo DiCaprio, who seemingly turned down those roles. "Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it's only because he's passed on it beforehand," Bale told GQ in a candid interview. "It doesn't matter what anyone tells you. It doesn't matter how friendly you are with the directors. All those people that I've worked with multiple times, they all offered every one of those roles to him first." "So, thank you, Leo, because literally, he gets to choose everything he does," Bale concluded. "And good for him, he's phenomenal." Bale further noted that he's never taken it personally for DiCaprio being the casting directors’ first choice for their films. "No. Do you know how grateful I am to get any damn thing? I mean, I can't do what he does," Ba

Saif Ali Khan confirms Bhoot Police 2

You may or may not be a fan of last year’s spooky satire  Bhoot Police  where Arjun Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan joined forces for a farce that many, including your truly thought to be, an utter waste of time.

It continues to be one of the most watched films on that platform, and they are very keen to do a sequel.” The first part of Bhoot Police  was filled with such never-before sights and sounds. Like A  Chudail  belching profanity like Linda Blair, like Saif trying to mimic Rajkummar Rao in  Stree , or Arjun Kapoor puking into a holy earthen pot while Saif holds it for him, or… never mind!

BREAKING: Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam expected to release in 1800-2000 screens despite CLASH with Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu and Ajay Devgn’s Thank God on Diwali

Image
Diwali is merely three weeks away and moviegoers are already excited to witness the clash between Akshay Kumar-starrer  Ram Setu  and Ajay Devgn-Sidharth Malhotra starrer  Thank God . Both the movies will release in cinemas on Tuesday, October 25. However, there’s one more film in the race – the Hollywood superhero flick, Black Adam. Interestingly, it’ll release earlier, on October 21 and many in the trade and exhibition sector believe that it can be the dark horse of the season. A source told  Bollywood Hungama , “There’s tremendous excitement for  Black Adam  globally as it’s a DC film. Moreover, it stars Dwayne Johnson, who has a huge following in India. What also works in its favour is that there hasn’t been a big-scale commercial Hollywood film in a long time. The last such film to release was  Thor: Love And Thunder , which came out on July 8. Due to these reasons,  Black Adam  can score at the ticket window.” A section of trade is also concerned with the release period. It re

“There’s going to be only one Madhubala biopic”, says the Mughal-e-Azam actor’s sister; appeals with folded hands

Madhubala was an iconic star and one of the highest-paid entertainers in India in the post-independence era. The late actress was widely popular for her eternal beauty, pleasant personality, and sensitive portrayals of women. In the past few years, her name has made news with regard to her much-talked-about biopic. As the reports of Madhubala's biopic are again making the rounds on the internet, the late actress’s youngest sister, Madhur Brij Bhushan, has given some important updates. While talking to Pinkvilla, Bhushan asserted, “Let me make one thing clear: there’s going to be only one Madhubala biopic that will be backed by me and my team. The idea is to not hurt anyone’s sentiments (through the said biopic) but we will showcase several unknown facets of Madhu Apa’s life which aren’t out in public.” She further added, “The film shall also put a number of misnomers/inaccuracies about her life to rest.
