Salman Objected To Malaika's Outfit In Munni Badnaam Hui, Reveals Director

As Dabangg gears up to mark its 15th anniversary, director Abhinav Kashyap has opened up about some behind-the-scenes stories from the blockbuster. One of the highlights of the film was the chartbuster item number Munni Badnaam Hui, featuring Malaika Arora. However, the director revealed that convincing Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan to let Malaika be a part of the track wasn't easy. What's Happening Speaking to SCREEN , Abhinav Kashyap said that both Salman and Arbaaz initially had reservations about Malaika doing the number. According to him, Arbaaz wasn't comfortable with his then-wife being labelled an "item girl," while Salman raised objections over Malaika's outfits in the song. "Arbaaz and Salman, no matter whatever they say, are actually very conservative Muslims. Malaika also had her own differences with Salman over her outfits. They want their women covered up. So, they didn't want her to do the item song," the director shared. Abhi...

Exclusive: Tamannaah On Aaj Ki Raat And Its Role In Stree 2's Success

Tamannaah Bhatia is basking in the success of her latest film, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar. The Netflix project also features Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Sheirgill in pivotal roles. Before her stellar performance in the crime drama, Tamannaah had the nation grooving to the beats of Stree 2's song Aaj Ki Raat. The actress, along with her Sikandar Ka Muqaddar co-stars, sat down for a chat with NDTV's Arun Singh. During the discussion, Tamannaah was asked if she believes her special appearance in Stree 2's song contributed to its commercial success. She replied, “I think it did. I find it really awkward to admit it.” When further asked if her song deserves credit for the blockbuster's revenue, Tamannaah humorously responded, “Itna pyaar mil gaya, aur kya credit karenge? [It got so much love, what more credit do I need?] Then, Dinu sir (producer Dinesh Vijan) will have to send me a paycheck from what was earned.”

Talking about the success of Aaj Ki Raat, Tamannaah Bhatia added, “What really worked for Aaj Ki Raat was that, when an actor tries to attempt a song and keeps a character in mind and performance of the song, it comes across quite differently. It is also about how your gaze is on the song. I never looked at just the glamour quotient of it. But I was channelling that.”

During the same discussion Avinash Tiwary, who played the role of Sikandar Sharma in Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, recalled his first meeting with Tamannaah Bhatia. The actor said, “I met Tamannaah for the first time in Agra during the reading of the film. We straight up started rehearsing. On our second day of rehearsal, we were in tune with our characters and then it became very easy and smooth.”  

In addition to Avinash Tiwary, Jimmy Sheirgill and Tamannaah Bhatia, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar also features Divya Dutta and Rajiv Mehta in important roles. The film, directed by Neeraj Pandey, was released on Netflix on November 29. The movie marks the fourth collaboration between director Neeraj Pandey and Jimmy Sheirgill after A Wednesday, Special 26 and Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

US In Touch With China Over 'Spy Balloon', Says Pentagon Official

The United States has communicated with Beijing on the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon shot down on February 4, after Pentagon overtures were rebuffed for days, a defence official said Sunday. "There have been contacts made with the PRC on the high altitude balloon," Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton told reporters, referring to the People's Republic of China. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked to speak with Chinese counterparts shortly after an Air Force fighter shot down the Chinese balloon off the US east coast after it had traversed the entire country for days. But he got no response, even though the incident prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a long-planned diplomatic mission to Beijing. China said Thursday it refused the offer of a call with the US defence chief because of Washington's "irresponsible" decision to shoot down the balloon. "This irresponsible and seriously mistaken approach by the US did n...
