The popular and much-loved actor Saif Ali Khan is one of the finest actors of Bollywood with some outstanding projects being a part of his filmography. But, lately, he has been garnering comments for his latest film Adipurush. The film starring Prabhash and Kriti Sanon as Raghav and Janki was based on Hindu epic Ramayana. It also starred Saif Ali Khan in the role of Lankesh (Ravana).

The film failed to land on the high expectations of the audience and also failed to impress the masses. Not only did the film invite massive criticism and offend many individuals for different reasons but also was a failure both critically and commercially. While the film being a disaster was a hot topic of discussion for the longest time, the film’s team except writer and lyricist Manoj Muntashir did not address the controversies or the film’s failure. But now, Saif Ali Khan has stepped ahead and shared his feelings about the same.

In a conversation with Anupama Chopra on Film Companion, Saif Ali Khan spoke about the failure of Adipurush. He said that he feels he is not a star enough to pull off anything. He also went on to say, "I’ve never actually thought of myself as a star, and I don’t really want to also.

I like being a star, but I don’t want to be delusional. My parents are big stars, but very realistic, very normal. There’s so much more in life to be real about, my focus has always been on that. The idea is not to be scared of failing. People say, ‘That was a brave choice’ You talk about Adipurush, for example.

People talk about risks, but if you fall on your face, it’s not a risk really. You have to have a few of those also, and it’s a part of the approach. You have to shrug it off, feel bad, and say, ‘Nice try, but bad luck, let’s go to the next one’"

Talking about Adipurush, the film was made with a whopping budget of more than 600 crores. After major criticism of the film’s VFX, dialogues, story, visuals and more, a petition was filed to revoke the CBFC certification of the film was filed in the Supreme Court but was dismissed.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann supports Diljit Dosanjh, criticizes attacks on Punjabis

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann defended singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh, who faced backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his film Sardaar Ji 3. Bhagwant Mann noted the film was shot before the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, arguing it’s unfair to call Dosanjh a "gaddar" (traitor). "A Pakistani actress acted in the film, which was made earlier. She speaks Punjabi—our cultures are similar," Mann said at an event. "Now a Pakistani hockey team is set to play in India, and that’s somehow acceptable?" The Centre recently approved Pakistan’s partic

From Laughter to Lattes: My Experience at Kap’s Café in Surrey

Jasmine Singh I finally got the chance to visit Kap’s Café in Surrey this weekend and wow, what an experience. As someone who’s grown up watching Kapil Sharma make millions laugh, walking into a space created by him and his wife Ginni Chatrath felt surreal. It’s not just a café; it’s like stepping into a little world they’ve poured their hearts into. The moment I walked in, I was hit by the cozy, dreamlike vibe. The soft blush-pink walls, the creamy white accents, those delicate floral arrangements… it all felt like a page out of a fairy tale. I walked through a floral archwa

However, the production house has dismissed these claims, making it clear that no such decision has been made. The speculation intensified after Diljit posted a photo from the Border 2 set on social media. Around the same time, reports indicated that the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had lifted its ban on the actor after a direct appeal from producer Bhushan Kumar. Alth
