The Diplomat marks the fifth outing of John Abraham in the post-Covid era. He previously received massive praise for his role as Jim in Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan. But at the same time, most of his other films failed to succeed at the box office. His upcoming Holi release is also majorly dependent on word-of-mouth.

The Chhaava hurdle!

Releasing on March 14, 2025, The Diplomat will face competition from Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which is strongly dominating the ticket screens despite completing almost a month in theatres. As per the current prediction, John Abraham’s Holi release...

Mumbai, March 9 (Ians) Hit director-actor combos are all set to be back in business this year. From Rohit Shetty-Ranveer Singh to Salman Khan-Prabhudheva and from Taapsee Pannu-Anurag Kashyap to Ranbir Kapoor-Ayan Mukerji, there are a host of teams lined up in some of the biggest projects, which have spelt magic at the box office in the past.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh feels this is always a boon. "It is always better to repeat 'jodi's. It doesn't matter if it is actors working again with each other or directors reuniting with actors. The expectation of the audiences increases and there is a curiosity. But, yes, at the end of the day it all depends on content. That has to be good," he said.

Talking about working with Abbas-Mustan again after eight years, in the upcoming film Penthouse, actor Bobby Deol said...

It's all about bromance between Bollywood's "Desi Boyz" John Abraham and Akshay Kumar.

John on Friday took to Twitter, where he shared a photograph of himself along with Akshay. In the image, the "Padman" star is seen riding piggyback on the "Rocky Handsome" actor.

"Make some noise for the Desi boys! Love you always Akshay Kumar," he captioned the image.

Akshay and John have worked together in films like "Desi Boyz" and "Garam Masala".

On the work front, John is currently busy promoting his film "Batla House", which traces the story of the shootout between a seven-member Delhi Police Special Cell team and suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists allegedly involved in the serial blasts of September 13, 2008, in Delhi.

While Akshay currently awaits the release of his next "Mission Mangal". It stars Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen as the al-women team at Isro who made...

Director Rohit Dhawan can breathe easy. His decision to take an almost five year sabbatical after Desi Boyz and then return with Dishoom has paid off. The John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez starrer has managed to do well at the Box Office with 54 crore* coming in after the first week. The opening day was decent to good [11.05 crore], not extraordinary, and led many to wonder how the overall collections would look like. However, good pick up over the weekend and then stable collections over the weekdays meant that the film was on a right path all over again. This resulted in a good sum.

Rohit’s debut directorial release Desi Boyz had netted 46 crore at the Box Office. With Dishoom bringing in 54 crore*, there is a 100 crore total that has come between the two films, something that should please Rohit. The point to be considered here is that the...

Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom is doing well on weekdays. After a good weekend of 37.32 crore, the film has collected 4.85 crore on Monday and 4.30 crore* on Tuesday, hence resulting in the total of 46.5 crore* so far. With this, the film has gone past the lifetime total of Rohit’s debut directorial affair Desi Boyz [46 crore] in 5 days flat. Of course, the quantum of business has increased over a period of time but then the fact also remains that the Akshay Kumar and John Abraham starrer was a much bigger film. Moreover, that too had Eros association to it and the corporate house can well be happy to have backed him up again.

Another man who would be happy with the association is producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Over the decades, he has had a healthy personal and professional relationship with David Dhawan [Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi]. Now with his sons Varun Dhawan and Rohit Dhawan,...

Dishoom

Starring: John Abraham, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Akshaye Khanna, Virat Kohli (just kidding) and a dog named Bradman (not kidding)

Directed by Rohit Dhawan

Rating: *** ½

Everybody in Dishoom is shown to be in a tearing hurry. Some, like the flighty Miss Fernandez seem to be running to nowhere quite furiously. But everyone is determined to get some place.

Fast.

Dishoom is one of the most fast-paced Bollywood bromances in recent times. Bromance, it sure is. And a pretty cool one at that. With John Abraham (excellent as the strong silent sturdy he-man type) and Varun Dhawan (endearingly vulnerable clumsy but finally dependable) helming the hyperventilating hi-jinks, director Rohit Dhawan can’t go wrong.

He doesn’t.

Plus there is cricket which as we all know is religion in India. So what happens when Virat, fictionally altered to Viraj, is kidnapped by a mean money machine named Wagah (probably because...

I don’t know about you, but I for one have been eagerly waiting for buddy-cop films to come back into the limelight. Having grown up on the likes of Sholay, Main Anari Tu Khiladi and Munna Bhai, I could not have been more psyched to hear that the promising director who delivered a very hilarious Desi Boyz in 2011 is all set to regenerate this genre. Rohit Dhawan’s latest outing, Dishoom, claimed to be riding high on the 90s buddy-cop film nostalgia and promised to be an action-comedy entertainer that is not to be missed. But does it really end up doing all these things?

Yes and no. For starters he delivered the action he promised. In fact it seems at one point that the older Dhawan brother had set out to give another fellow Rohit a run for his money as the movie delivered one interesting car chase after another.

John Abraham, usually known calm and poised demeanor, recently surprised everyone, including his staff by breaking this mold, during one of the promotional activities of his upcoming movie, ‘Dishoom.’ The actor who broke into an impromptu jig on the hit songs from his movies Desi Boyz, Shootout at Wadala and Dishoom, took the entire cast and crew by surprise while shooting for an integration episode of ‘Chala Hawa Yeu Dya’. He not only set the mood for the episode but also made Varun Dhawan perform the signature steps from ‘Toh Dishoom’.

Dishoom, presented by Eros International and Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, starring Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, directed by Rohit Dhawan, releases on 29th July 2016.

Varun Dhawan and his director brother Rohit Dhawan competed in a fun arm wrestling match. Their upcoming film ‘Dishoom’ also starring John Abraham (seen in the video), releases in theatres on July 29 2016.

John Abraham and Varun Dhawan are coming together for the first time in an action film Dishoom. The trailer, which was unveiled a few weeks ago, has created quite a buzz with its dangerous action sequences.

Now, we hear that there will be a Desi Boyz reunion in Rohit Dhawan's second directorial venture. Akshay Kumar will be making a guest appearance in the film reuniting with his partner in crime John Abraham. As per reports, Akshay Kumar's entry will be at a point where John Abraham and Varun Dhawan are seen in orange swimming trunks in the trailer. This time around Akshay Kumar will be portraying a gay character that won't be as stereotypical as in other Hindi films. For his entry sequence, we hear that Rohit Dhawan has used the title track of Desi Boyz in the film.

Directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Dishoom features John Abraham as Kabir Shergill and Varun Dhawan as Junaid Ansari, two special task force agents who team up for a 36-hour manhunt. The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, and Saqib Saleem and set to release on July 29.

We know Balaji Motion Pictures and Phantom Films' Udta Punjab has been facing major problems with the censor board. Due to excessive use of abusive language and showing the drug problems of Punjab, the film has been ordered 94 cuts in all. While the team of Udta Punjab has received a tremendous amount of support from other filmmakers and actors, some of them actually addressed the issue to media and told their stories with Cbfc. At a recent event, Kangna Ranaut spoke about how the filmmakers get bullied. She said, "We all have been very concerned with the way things are going. I am not a director and I have not been through that process. But people whom I closely work with seem extremely disturbed with the way things are and to an extent they feel bullied. They know there is a process of certification. We do not have that...

Baaghi has turned out to be a huge success and is now set to go past the 75 crore mark. With this, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has opened his 2016 campaign with style and as always is playing on the front foot. While his next release Housefull 3 is all set to open huge as well on 3rd June, the game is also set for his third release of 2016, Dishoom, which is slated for a July release.

“What makes Dishoom special is the fact that Sajid is making a film with Varun Dhawan for the first time ever. The young star has been enjoying a cent percent record so far after a double hat-trick (since the release of Student of the Year) and it would be interesting to see him in a Nadiadwala Grandson set up,” informs our source.

Moreover, the film also sees the coming together of director Rohit Dhawan and John Abraham after Desi Boyz,...

Having Akshay Kumar and John Abraham share screen space leaves their fans feeling nostalgic as the paring of these actors have always proved to be a grand success in the past. They have jointly delivered major hits like Housefull 2, Garam Masala and Desi Boyz.

Akshay was seen riding on a bike and looks like we are in for a treat with some breath-taking stunts by the superstar. Akshay is no stranger to the emirates. He filmed Baby in Abu Dhabi in 2014 and a year later, he was in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah to film his recent box-office success Airlift.

When asked about his frequent visits to the UAE the actor said, “It’s always nice shooting in the UAE ,” to The National earlier during a visit to Dubai to promote Airlift. “Plus, you just can’t shoot like this in Mumbai. They won’t close a part of...

It's the scenic Casablanca in Morocco for John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez in July. The charismatic trio leaves to shoot in the virgin location for Rohit Shetty's action-adventure-drama Dishoom. According to sources close to the film, "The shooting starts on June 27 at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. Thereafter the unit, which includes John, Varun, Jacqueline, director Rohit Dhawan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala leaves for Casablanca where no Hindi film has been shot before." The shooting in Casablanca, Morocco will continue for nearly a month. Says the source, "Dishoom is a rugged romantic action film and the team already has great chemistry amongst themselves. Varun and Rohit Dhawan are more like buddies than brothers. John and Rohit Dhawan are old buddies. Jacqueline and John hit it off when they worked together in the past. Jacqueline is Sajid's resident heroine after Kick. So it's like one big family going on...

The son of director David Dhawan, brother of Desi Boyz director Rohit Dhawan and a protégé from the school of Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan may well have a strong film pedigree behind him, but the grounded actor has always been determined to seek success on his own merit.

Since being launched by Johar in Student of the Year, Dhawan has scored back-to-back successes. He demonstrated a flair for comedy in Main Tera Hero, but also stunned audiences in a performance beyond his years with his stark portrayal of a psychopathic killer in the revenge thriller Badlapur.

Known for his high energy and his effortless dance ability, he now shows off all his best moves in ABCD2, as he matches steps with dance legend Prabhu Deva.

A teen idol and all round nice guy, Varun told Digital Spy how he trained for the role of a hip-hop dance champion, why he...

Any publicity is good publicity for our Bollywood celebs! So even if it includes lifting or swirling your actresses in air, than it works for the film promotion. Whether planned or impromptu, the stars managed to grab the eyeballs with this act also.

Here is a list of few stars who created buzz for their film by swinging the co-actress...for the paparazzi of course!

Ranbir Kapoor lifted his Bombay Velvet co-star Anushka Sharma and turned the heads of everyone

When Varun lifted Alia in his arms while launching the first trailer of their film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, it created a problem for the actress. She was caught unaware when her see-through Patiala suit exposed her innerwear.

From lifting up and twirling their respective leading ladies - Chitrangada Singh and Deepika Padukone in air to juggling bottles like bartenders to flinging their coats in audience or tearing off their...

Last Sunday saw the grand finale of the popular musical reality show India’s RAWStar on Star Plus. The episode started with a recap and highlights of the previous 14 weeks. The shows original mentor YoYo Honey Singh also featured in the highlights. The show opened with the finalists Darshan Raval singing ‘Mast Magan’ from 2 States, Rituraj singing ‘Arz Allah’ from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Mohit sang ‘Tharki Chokro’ from Pk. The three of them then sang ‘Indiawaale’ from Happy New Year.

Before host Gauahar could begin her introductions, a very “irritating” Rithvik Dhanjani made his appearance as a so-called ‘manager’ of artists. He made many such appearances throughout the grand finale! Mentor Hr was in his true rockstar form, wearing a red leather jacket and blue jeans. The first half of the finale featured the ex-contestants of India’s RAWStar. Mohan and Pradip performed in their Bhojpuri and Punjabi dialects...

Earlier we had reported that Chitrangda Singh would be starring in a film directed by Kushan Nandy. While we were aware that the film would be a thriller, now we hear that this untitled venture has finally got a name and it is Babumoshai Bandookbaaz. Elaborating on the film, director Kushan says that this action thriller will be shot extensively in West Bengal, in areas like Purulia and Burdwan which is famous for red soil. He also mentioned that his film will have realistic characters and Chitrangda along with others will have elements of grey in the roles that they play. Adding further, Kushan revealed that Chitrangda will portray the role of a cobbler and she will also be undergoing intensive training to get the nuances right. Moreover, unlike her avatar in Desi Boyz or Inkaar, the actress will go completely de-glam for the film. Kushan Nandy is really thrilled...

After two back to back hits in 2014, Varun Dhawan seems to be on a new high. With his next project being a dance film in the pipeline (Abcd 2) along with the serious drama Badlapur, Varun Dhawan has signed his third film which will go on floors soon. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has decided to back the project and is pretty excited about it since the film will not only star Varun Dhawan but will also be directed by Rohit Dhawan. Confirming the same, Sajid stated that working with Rohit is kind of emotional because he has assisted David Dhawan in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. The producer further revealed that the film in question will have yet another male lead but only one heroine. He is yet to finalize the actors who will be playing these roles. Rohit Dhawan made his directorial debut in 2011 with the Akshay Kumar and John Abraham starrer Desi Boyz.

The show opened with rehearsal clips of the contestants showing how hard they had been rehearsing for this week’s performance. It also transpired that Shakti, Ashish, Mouni and Akshat were all unwell due to stress of rehearsals. Shakti was suffering from, low blood pressure and her doctor had advised her complete bed rest which meant she was unable to perform in this episode. She did however request her fans to keep voting for her. There was no face-off this week due to the Ganesh Chaturthi festival which meant all the contestants were safe.

The special guests of Saturday’s episode were Sonam Kapoor and Fawad Khan who had come to promote their latest film Khoobsurat. Fawad is also a Pakistani TV serial actor and so a lot of his own fans were present in the audience.

In this episode of Jhalak, the contestants would be dancing with a dance...

Kick is the latest Eid offering from Salman Khan after Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard and Ek Tha Tiger, all of which have been top grossers at the box office.

As a man of pure class and loved by the masses, it comes as no surprise that Akshay Kumar was recently announced as India’a Style Icon at the fourth edition of the Hindustan Times Style Awards. The Awards took place at The Oberoi in Gurgaon, to honour those stars who are known for their trend-setting ways and who stand out in the Indian Film Industry year upon year for their individual style.

Fashion-forward Akshay recently led the comeback of the bearded look in Bollywood, which he grew for his upcoming movie, Gabbar. Prior to this, he was spotted several times in casual checkered shirts, paving the way for the comeback of this vintage look, which was widely admired and imitated by the fashion concious young men of today.

The award win by Akshay truly cements his iconic status and recognises not only his visual style but also the substance behind this style.

Mumbai, April 11: Deepika Padukone is a style icon herself, but according to her actor Akshay Kumar is the best dressed man in the Hindi film industry while veteran actress Rekha is her favourite from among women.

Deepika has shared screen space with Akshay in "Chandni Chowk To China", "Housefull" and "Desi Boyz."

"The best dressed man (in the industry) is Akshay Kumar. It's purely his effortlessness that makes him look the way he does. I think the fact that he has always been so athletic that really adds to the way he carries off clothes," the actress told reporters here Thursday.

Among women, Deepika named veteran actress.

Bollywood’s young heartthrob Varun Dhawan speaks to Sunny Malik about his second film, Main Tera Hero, directed by his father and well-known filmmaker David Dhawan.

Main Tera Hero releases in UK cinemas on 4th April 2014 through Eros International.

You made a successful acting debut with Student Of The Year, and were praised for your acting skills by critics and audiences. Do you feel the pressure now that your second film is releasing?

I think, comedy as a genre is one of the most difficult genres to crack for an actor. Having said that, for a lead actor, you need to be romantic, intense and be a hero and on top of that, you need to be goofy and funny too. Sometimes you need to pull off a British kind of humour with straight face. That’s what I needed to do in Main Tera Hero and I have tried it.

Acclaimed Bollywood playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan proved on Friday night that she is indeed one of the best artists in the industry today. Her UK tour ended with a concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall where she belted out some of her greatest songs. Organised by TLC Events and Rock On Music, Sunidhi’s incredible energy was felt by the audience and they showed their love for her by cheering as loud as they possibly could.

The concert opened with the classic ‘Aisa Jadoo’ (Khakee) and Sunidhi followed it up with hit songs like ‘Halkat Jawaani’ (Heroine) ‘Ainvayi Ainvayi’ (Band Baaja Baaraat), ‘Bin Tere’ (I Hate Luv Storys), ‘Yaaram’ (Ek Thi Dayaan), ‘Ishq Sufiyana’ (The Dirty Picture) and ‘Bhaage Re Mann,’ (Chameli). One had to be present at the concert to see how charismatic Sunidhi sounded live. Though she is undoubtedly good on recording, she sounded ten times better live on stage.

Shahid Kapoor and Ileana pair up for Rajkumar Santoshi latest comic caper, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, releasing 20th September. Since time immemorial a Rajkumar Santoshi films boast of great music. Pritam paired with Rajkumar Santoshi for his last outing, Ajab Ghazab Ki Prem Kahani, and hopes to repeat the success of the album with this one. Does he succeed in putting out an impressive album with lyricists Amitabh Bhattacharya and Dr Irshad Kamil?

The album opens with Mika Singh in Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai. Its your usual fun girl-wooing track with some interesting choice of words by the lyricist. Mika’s trademark style is very much the essence of the track. You’ll either like this one or find the lyrics way too silly to enjoy. It probably serves a better purpose for an interesting picturisation in the film rather than an interesting listen.

Tips and Atif Aslam seem...

John Abraham is definitely having a great time at the movies. With Force, Desi Boyz, Housefull 2, Vicky Donor, Race and Shootout At Wadala in quick succession, suddenly it seems that the days of Jhoota Hi Sahi and Aashayein were too long ago. Now that he is all set to bring his next production Madras Cafe which is looking quite interesting as well, John can pretty much be looking at some great years lined up ahead. "He is doing some really interesting work and the best par...

While one sees and hears leading ladies of Bollywood walking the ramp and also gracing the red carpet world over, seldom does one come across as a Bollywood producer who manages to ensure that some good attention coming her way. However, Krishika Lulla is fast turning out to be one fashionista who is not just bank rolling some Bollywood projects and getting creatively involved in their making; she is also enjoying her time while putting on a glam avtar.

Informs a source, “Krishika is someone who is quite fashion conscious and though she belongs to the family of a premium film company (Eros) and is also producing her own films (Raanjhanaa, Desi Boyz, Chalo Dilli), she is also enjoying her personal life.
