APJ Abdul Kalam inspired Salman Khan's iconic ‘Tere Naam' hairstyle: Here's the proof of how much the actor admired India's Missile Man
Salman Khan 's look in the 2003 film 'Tere Naam' sparked a fashion wave across India. His long, middle-parted hair became so popular that fans rushed to salons to copy it. But years after the film's release, the actor finally revealed the real inspiration behind the famous hairstyle – and it wasn't what anyone expected. Inspired by the Missile Man of India In a surprising confession, Salman Khan said that the look from 'Tere Naam' was actually inspired by India's former President, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam . During his appearance on the first episode of 'The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show Season 3', Salman spoke to host Kapil Sharma and said, 'Ye 'Tere Naam' ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se.' He added that actor Rahul Roy also had a similar hairstyle in one of his films. But for 'Tere Naam', Salman thought the long hair fit the image of a small-town hero. He explained, 'I thought that small-town heroes always had long hair. All the old-school heroes had it too – that's where the inspiration came from.' Salman's Deep respect for Dr. Kalam Salman's connection with Dr Kalam went beyond just hairstyle. In 2015, after the passing of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Salman shared a series of heartfelt tweets expressing his admiration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo He wrote, 'I will miss Kalam saab.

I always wanted to meet Kalam saab and I should have made the effort. My loss.' Salman's choice to style his hair after Dr APJ Abdul Kalam was not just a creative decision but a quiet tribute to someone he deeply admired.

Madhubala biopic put on hold; Makers rework budget plans - Here's what we know
The much-anticipated biopic on legendary actress Madhubala has hit a temporary roadblock. Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, who earned acclaim with her 2022 film Darlings, the film's production has been put on hold due to budgetary constraints, even though the script is reportedly complete. High Budget Causes a Pause Initially envisioned as a lavish period drama, the film was set to portray the grandeur of Madhubala's life and era, with a projected budget of Rs 80 to Rs 100 crore. However, as per News 18 reports, the production team — comprising Sony Pictures International Productions, Brewing Thoughts Pvt. Ltd., and Madhubala Pictures — found that the high costs related to period detailing, elaborate sets, and costumes could make it difficult to recover the investment. Reportedly the recovery math didn't add up and the budget had to be re-evaluated. Searching for a Middle Ground Reportedly, the team is now working hard to redesign the financial plan without compromising on the essence of the story. 'The goal is to honour Madhubala's legacy while keeping the project financially viable. The budget is now being slashed to almost half,' said a source. As a result, casting discussions with top female actors — previously underway — have been temporarily paused until the revised plan is finalised. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Despite the financial pause, the spirit behind the project remains strong.

Amitabh Bachchan calls son Abhishek his "true inheritor" in emotional post
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Bollywood's legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan wrote an emotional blog post dedicated to his son, Abhishek Bachchan . In a blog post shared on Saturday, the 'Sholay' actor praised Abhishek not just as his son but as someone who has truly earned his respect as an actor through hard work and brave choices. Amitabh began his post by sharing a quote from his father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan: "My sons, just because you are my sons, shall not be my inheritors; they who shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons." The megastar also shared that Abhishek has proved himself and earned the right to be called his true inheritor--not by birth, but by merit. "He has dared to take on films and characters that challenged him, and he 'acted'," Amitabh wrote. "He dared to act and be recognized," he added with pride. Earlier on Saturday, Amitabh took to his X account to show his support for his son's upcoming film 'Kaalidhar Laapata.' The trailer for the film was released on June 21. He wrote, "my prayers Abhishek .. your ability to choose different roles and films and to immerse yourself in them .. and succeed .. a very rare quality ..love and blessings." Directed by Madhumita, Kaalidhar Laapata stars Abhishek as Kaalidhar--a middle-aged man grappling with memory loss, abandonment, and a lifetime of quiet betrayals. When he overhears his siblings' cruel plan to abandon him at the crowded Maha Kumbh Mela, Kaalidhar decides to disappear on his own terms. Fate intervenes in the form of Ballu (Daivik Bhagela), an outspoken, street-smart 8-year-old who's been surviving solo on India's chaotic streets. What begins as a chance meeting becomes the beginning of something far more profound.
