Mumbai, Sep 3: Actor Paresh Rawal says Salman Khan has his own charm and style of acting and feels the superstar has become more calm today.

The veteran actor, who has collaborated with Salman for films like "Ready", "Baghban", "Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega", "Dhulan Hum Le Jayenge", and "Andaz Apna Apna", will be next seen with him in Ali Abbas Zafar's "Tiger Zinda Hai".

"Every actor has his own charm including Salman, everyone is good in their own way. I have worked with him in couple of films. He is easy to work with, understands things and is always helpful. Today I think he has become more calm," Rawal said on Salman's acting style.

The Yash Raj Film's "Tiger" franchise centers around a fictional character of an Indian spy (RAW), code named Tiger (Salman), who falls in love with a Pakistani spy (ISI), played by Katrina Kaif.

Of their all films together, the 1994 cult "Andaz Apna Apna" stands out. In the film, Rawal essayed the double role of Teja and Ram Gopal Bajaj.

While there is a buzz of the sequel being planned, Rawal says he hasn't been approached for such a project yet.

"No one has come to me yet for the sequel. It's a good film, the premise is good... it was ahead of its time. Director Rajkumar Santoshi did a fantastic job. The sequel should be made provided the story is good," he says.

Recalling the shooting experience for the comic caper, he says there were financial and date issues while filming, but the overall experience was great.

"During the climax shoot there was problem as half shoot was done here (in one place), half there (in another place). There were date issues so we had to shoot it differently. And people were not paid on time. That time the working style, work ethics were different including finance. We all had great fun doing the film and had never imagined the film will turn out to be a cult. Even during 'Hera Pheri' we had not thought we are making a great film our job was to do the film and move on."

The 67-year-old actor reveals that work on the third part of hit "Hera Pheri" series had begun, but is currently stalled after director Neeraj Vora fell ill.

His other super-hit film "Oh My God", released in 2012, will see a sequel and work on the script was on.

"We are planning a sequel... the work is going on the script. It will all depend on the script whether Akshay Kumar and I will team for it or not," he says.

Currently, Rawal is busy promoting his upcoming film "Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi" also starring Rishi Kapoor, Vir Das, Payal Ghosh and Prem Chopra. It is slated to release on September 15.

Jun 25: Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput’s last movie “Dil Bechara” is getting a release on Disney+Hotstar on July 24.

With an aim to honour the legacy of the actor, the streaming platform is making the movie available to even the non-subscribers.

Rajput was found dead at his Bandra home on June 14 at the age of 34.

Billed as a soulful love story, “Dil Bechara” marks the directorial debut of casting director and Rajput's industry friend Mukesh Chhabra. The film is produced by Fox Star Studios.

“We are humbled to be able to play a small part in sustaining the legacy of a fine actor like Sushant Singh Rajput. In celebration of his life and his extraordinary work, 'Dil Bechara' will release directly on digital this July on Disney+ Hotstar; and will be available to all subscribers and non-subscribers across India. Our prayers and wishes to his family and loved ones,” Uday Shankar, President – The Walt Disney Company APAC and Chairman, Star & Disney India, said.

The actor had a long-standing relationship with the STAR & Disney India network, having started his career with the show “Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil” in 2008 to his Bollywood transition where he delivered some of his most memorable performances in “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” (2016) and “Chhichhore” (2019), both produced by Fox Star Studios.

Chhabra said he never imagined he would release the film without Rajput.

 “Sushant was not just the hero of my debut film as a director, but he was a dear friend who stood by me through thick and thin. We had been close right from 'Kai Po Che!' to 'Dil Bechara'. He had promised me that he would be in my first film.

"So many plans were made together, so many dreams were dreamt together but never once did I ever imagine that I would be left alone to release this film. He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it,” the director said.

“Dil Bechara” is the official remake of 2014 Hollywood romantic drama “The Fault in our Stars”, which was based on John Green’s popular novel of the same name. The Hindi adaptation of the movie was done by Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengupta.

“Dil Bechara” will see Rajput in a leading role alongside debutante Sanjana Sanghi, and Saif Ali Khan in an interesting cameo.

The music of the film has been composed by AR Rahman and the lyrics are by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“Dil Bechara” revolves around Kizie Basu (Sanghi) and Immanuel Rajkumar Junior or Manny (Rajput) and explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic adventure of being alive and in love.

Together Kizie and Manny embark on an on-off-up-down-sad and sweet profound journey into the heart of that crazy little thing called life. It teaches them what it means to feel truly alive and fall in love.

Los Angeles, May 24: Filmmaker Frank Marshall, one of the producers behind Jurassic World: Dominion, says the forthcoming film is not a conclusion of the franchise.

Colin Trevorrow, who rebooted Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park franchise with 2015's Jurassic World, is back on the director's chair after sitting out on second movie Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).

Asked about the upcoming movie, Marshall told Collider: "It's the start of a new era."

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are coming back for the third film, which will also feature original stars of 1993's Jurassic Park -- Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill.

The producer also revealed how he sees the film franchise extending into the future.

"The dinosaurs are now on the mainland amongst us, and they will be for quite some time, I hope," Marshall said.

The film was three weeks into production when it was shut down over coronavirus concerns, but the producer said the team has the sets built in London and will be "back in business" once they have guidelines from the British government.

Dominion is still slated to be released on its scheduled date of June 11, 2021.
