\r\nRGV on SRK. Ram Gopal Varma\'s evergreen classic Rangeela hit the screens on 28 November once again. Ram Gopal Varma speaking to scribes revealed why he didnot direct Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan.\r\nRam Gopal Varma said &ldquo;We had many meetings, but I always felt Shah Rukh is like a live wire bursting with energy. My filmmaking style is composed and intense. Restricting Shah Rukh to that space felt unfair to him and to the fans who come expecting his trademark charm and charisma. At one point, I approached him for Company. But Mallik&rsquo;s character needed to be very laid-back and lazy that&rsquo;s the opposite of what people expect from Shah Rukh. I had a terrific story for him, but it didn&rsquo;t happen.&rdquo;\r\nRam Gopal Varma revealed&nbsp; &ldquo;When you tell Shah Rukh about a scene, he gets up and just does it. He&rsquo;s fantastic. I felt there was nothing for me to do in his film. Directors don&rsquo;t make a big difference in his movies because he can hold the camera entirely on his own. That&rsquo;s a very different kind of stardom.&rdquo;\r\nCurrently Ram Gopal Varma is teaming with Manoj Bajpayee with the horror thriller Police Station Mein Bhoot. The film stars&nbsp; Genelia Deshmukh, and Ramya Krishnan in important roles.\r\n

\r\nSalman reacts on Pan Masala ad row. It is known that Bollywood stars landed in trouble for promoting Pan Masala ads and Consumer Court sent notices for them.\r\nReplying to the Kota Consumer Court, Salman Khan shared his version on endorsing Pan Masala ad. He said he wasn\'t endorsing gutka or pan masala but only cardamom. The Kota Consumer Court sent notices reacting to the complaint filed by Pradeep Instructor Singh Hani.\r\nRepresenting Salman Khan, advocate Ashish Dubey informed the court that the Consumer Commission lacks the jurisdiction to address the complaint. He clarified that the actor is neither a manufacturer nor a service provider for pan masala, arguing that involving him in the case is legally unjustified. The court posted the case for next hearing on 9 December 2025.\r\nThe petitioner earlier said &ldquo;Salman Khan is a role model for many people. We have filed a complaint against it in the Kota Consumer Court, and notices have been issued for a hearing. Celebrities or film stars in other countries don\'t even promote cold drinks, but they are promoting tobacco and pan masala. I urge them not to spread the wrong message to the youth, as pan masala is one of the leading causes of mouth cancer.&rdquo;\r\n

Prabhas doing versatile roles to capture the imagination of all. Prabhas has been doing versatile roles after the sensation of Baahubali. He did mass action entertainer Saaho and then starred in the romantic entertainer Radhe Shyam and as Lord Ram in Aadi Purush. He did a cameo Rudra in Manchu Vishnu's Kannappa.
He is now starring in a horror entertainer The Raja Saab, patriotic flick Fauji, mass actioner Salaar sequel and sci fi sequel Kalki 2898AD. He is also starring in Spirit in which he will be seen in the role of a powerful police officer.
Producer of The Raja Saab, TG.Vishwa Prasad shared &ldquo;Prabhas has the courage to take up varied roles and offer something fresh every time to his legion of fans,&rdquo; He continued &ldquo;He hasn&rsquo;t attempted a horror-comedy before, yet he slipped into the role with consummate ease. He will be delivering a light-hearted performance in one avatar, and in another, he transforms into a fiery, larger-than-life persona to enthrall his fans.&rdquo;
Fauji director Hanu Raghavapudi said &ldquo;Prabhas plays a larger-than-life soldier in Fauji. I wanted to infuse his character with traits inspired by legendary warriors. For me, Arjuna, Karna, and Ekalavya represent skill, sacrifice, and devotion. I often wondered how the Mahabharata would have changed if Karna had joined the Pandavas &mdash; the war would have taken a completely different turn. Fauji is an action-packed story set in the 1940s colonial era, with references to slokas and the Bhagavad Gita,&rdquo;
Director Hemanth Madhukar says &ldquo;Prabhas has played devotional roles with remarkable dignity and grace,&rdquo; He adds &ldquo;He brings a unique charm to such characters. His handsome features, expressive eyes, endearing smile, and noble demeanor all help sustain the spiritual gravitas these roles demand.&rdquo;
He goes on saying &ldquo;He is consistently pushing the boundaries of Telugu cinema,&rdquo; He shares &ldquo;Prabhas is unafraid of experimenting with roles, and I hope more stars follow suit to broaden the landscape of Telugu storytelling.&rdquo;
