The actor-producer said the song offered him an opportunity to return to the screen with a project that was personally meaningful to him. Bhagnani described himself as a patriot and said the nature of the song played an important role in his decision to face the camera again. “I am a patriot by heart. It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said. The actor's return comes after several years of focusing primarily on film production.

SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor's pay for Ali Abbas Zafar's next film has been increased to Rs. 38 crores.

-

Shahid Kapoor had previously stated that he was willing to forego his acting income in order to protect Jersey for the theatrical medium, according to Bollywood Hungama. The actor has stuck to his word, and the film will be released on April 14th. The actor, who had been paid roughly Rs. 31 crores for the film, subsequently had to take a pay cut when the release was pushed back owing to the Omicron threat at the last minute. And now we have yet another insider tip.

Shahid Kapoor's acting fees have reportedly increased even again, according to our reliable trade sources. The gifted actor, who is riding high on the success of Padmaavat and Kabir Singh, is expecting great gains from Jersey as well, and has demanded 25% extra for the film that is a sequel to Jersey. "A hefty sum of Rs. 38 crores has been paid to Shahid Kapoor to join this action-packed thriller helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. This is around 25% more than Jersey, and more than double what he got for Kabir Singh, the game changer. In reality, he is taking the approach of letting his work speak for itself," a trade source told Bollywood Hungama.

Shahid's credo, "Let labour speak for itself," has a special value for him. "Every success would entail an increase in acting income, and every failure would mean a decrease in acting fees." He's devised a dynamic pricing plan, and at this point, he's optimistic that both Jersey and Ali Abbas Zafar's next will bring in huge bucks at the box office. If the film is a success, his asking price for the next one will go up even more," the person said.

He and Ashwin Varde are currently negotiating the Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic, which is likely to move forward to the official paperwork stage soon.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
