"There is no pressure from the audience. I feel they like a movie for what the movie is. They like an actor or an actress for the kind of work that they put in. Our hard work, talent, screen presence, all these things and they don't compare or judge enough. Before the first film there were expectations.
"But thereafter you're on your own and the work has to do the talking. It's also about how you conduct yourself, how you choose the right projects, where you take your career, your attitude towards your work," the actor told reporters here.
Also starring Shreyas Talpade, "Kapkapii" is a horror comedy, which is the last film by director
Sangeet Sivan

"My first comedy film was with him 'Kya Kool Hai Hum' and before that I didn't do any comedy films. Whatever I have learnt about comedy first I learnt from him.
He gave me a role of a lifetime then and he's given me a role of a lifetime now," he said.
"Kapkapii" also features Sonia Rathee, Siddhi Idnani, Abishek Kumar, Jay Thakkar, Varun Pandey, Dherendra Tiwari, and Dinkar Sharma.

Mumbai stars cash hot realty, endorsements
Yesteryear actor Jeetendra, also a promoter of Balaji Telefilms, created a splash recently selling off two family-owned pieces of prime real estate in Mumbai's sought-after suburb of Andheri for a humungous Rs 855 crore. The 2.4 acre property, which currently houses the Balaji IT Park, and a few commercial buildings, was sold to NTT Global Data Centers. While this deal was the talk of the town because of its size, it was not the only celebrity sell-off. Mumbai in recent months has seen a spate of high value sales by Bollywood actors and cricketers. Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan was in the news for selling a large duplex apartment in a building called 'Atlantis', located in the suburb of Andheri, for Rs 83 crore. In March, actor Akshay Kumar made a splash with the sale of two residential units in a gated community called 'Oberoi Sky City', in the north-west suburb of Borivali, for Rs 6.6 crore. He followed it up in April with the sale of a 1,200 sq ft commercial office space in 'One Place Lodha' for Rs 8 crore. Abhishek Bachchan, also a big real estate player in the Mumbai market, meanwhile, is in the process of offloading a prime duplex apartment on the 40thand 41st floor of one of the towers in Planet Godrej, in the Mahalaxmi Area of south Mumbai. Purchased from Godrej Properties (GPL) around 12years ago, Bachchan Junior has been leasing the apartment at high rentals. Portfolio rejig However, these sales do not herald the exit of the stars from the real estate market. They are deals to cash out of some properties when the going is good, while they rejig their portfolio. 'Amitabh Bachchan's sales are evenly matched by his shopping spree for prime land in Ayodhya,' points out Pankaj Kapoor, founder of the property tracking site LiasesForas.

Abhishek Bachchan gets disappeared to unleash chaos in ‘Kaalidhar Laapata' trailer
Mumbai: The trailer of the upcoming film 'Kaalidhar Laapata', which stars Abhishek Bachchan, was unveiled on Saturday. The film is touted to be a heartfelt dramedy that explores life, loss, laughter, and the liberating beauty of unexpected companionship. The film stars Abhishek Bachchan as Kaalidhar, who is 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. What begins as a chance meeting becomes the beginning of something far more profound. The film also stars Zeeshan Ayyub and Daivik Bhagela in pivotal roles. Talking about the film, Abhishek Bachchan said, 'As actors, we often hope for stories that move us before they move anyone else, and 'Kaalidhar Laapata' did exactly that. Playing Kaalidhar was not just a role, it was a revelation. He's fragile, childlike and deeply human, and through him, I got to explore parts of myself I hadn't visited in a while. His bond with Ballu, this fierce, fearless child—reminded me that the most unexpected friendships can sometimes teach us the most profound lessons'. He further mentioned, 'More than anything, it made me reflect on how we measure life—not in years, but in moments of connection, courage, and truth. 'Kaaldihar Laapata' is another film in my journey that I feel incredibly proud of. Over the past few years, I've been consciously seeking stories that offer emotional depth, honesty, and something meaningful to say—and this one ticked every box. It's a story that touched my soul, and I hope it touches yours too'. The film is set against the rustic, raw beauty of India's heartland, and is a celebration of second chances and the quiet revolution of finding joy when you least expect it. It delves into themes of familial neglect, freedom, and the deep human need to be understood without judgement. Produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment, and directed by Madhumita, 'Kaalidhar Laapata' is set to premiere on ZEE5 on July 4, 2025.
