He shared three dashing pictures of Tiger as the cop Satya and wrote in caption, “Meet Special Task Force officer ACP SATYA… the immortal, like Truth! Welcome to the squad…Tiger.” In the three first look avatars, Tiger appears like a rough and tough officer, as what we expect from him. He is shirtless in the first picture with the police belt around his neck. The second one shows him wielding a gun in what looks like a scene where a lot action and explosion has taken place. The third one also sees him in a shirtless avatar while holding two machine guns. We can see a major explosion taking place in the background, which doesn’t affect Tiger at all.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Rohit Shetty (@itsrohitshetty) Just recentl...

Now, if I had more time in my life, I would have been offended that they got offended. But what happens is that if you are offended, I am an artist, primarily, you have a right to tell me - I am offended. That’s it. There the conversat...

Ganapath – A Hero Is Born, starring Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon and Amitabh Bachchan, is all set to release in cinemas tomorrow, that is, October 20. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to director Vikas Bahl about the film and a lot more. Since the time you debuted as a director, you have never repeated a genre. How do you manage to do so? Not many filmmakers could achieve this feat… Maybe, I just like different kinds of stories. While doing so, you have to break the genre. I think it’s a constant learning curve. When you are switching genres, you are always nervous as to whether or not you can pull it off. I like that nervousness. Maybe, the student inside me wants to constantly keep learning how to try new genres. When I was doing this film or even the next one (a horror), I used to sit for hours on YouTube and watch videos on how these films are made and how these genres are done. So, it was almost like going back to school. That’s exciting for me. I don’t want to get into a comfort...

Looking absolutely gritty and gripping, the first official look poster of The Buckingham Murders truly accelerated the excitement to watch the film. Featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan in the poster caught by two cops, it would definitely be a very different experience to watch the actress essaying the character of a detective and mother. While Kareena is looking truly strong, it looks like the film is about to bring a captivating story of international standard. Earlier, in a post Kareena had written a note for her character Jas Bhamra. She penned, "Jas was a character I have been wai...
