"Hindi Film Producers...": Mahabharat Actor Praises Kalki 2898 AD

Nitish Bharadwaj, who became a household name after playing Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's Mahabharat, is the latest celebrity to join the Kalki 2898 AD fan club. Impressed by Nag Ashwin's vision, Nitish Bharadwaj shared his thoughts about the film in an interview with News 18. "(Nag Ashwin has) made clever use of Mahabharat characters and the futuristic birth of Mahavishnu's last avatar Kalki. Hindi film producers must learn from the South as they are so deeply rooted in our scriptures and epics that even their inspirational versions seem correct. No doubt, Kalki seems to have definite visual inspiration from Mad Max movies. Yet, it seemed different because eventually, the sets and production design were less important to me than the foreground story. Ashwin merged the 2 extremely well," Nitish Bharadwaj told the news portal.

When asked if he was reminded of his shooting days from the sets of Mahabharat while watching the film, Nitish Bharadwaj told News 18, "Yes because the epic Mahabharat is extremely close to my heart. And no because Ashwin created a different world before me." The veteran actor also expressed his wish to feature as Lord Krishna in the sequel. He jokingly said, "In the sequel, Ashwin need not hide Krishna's face, I am available (laughs)." For the unversed, Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD intertwines several stories from Mahabharat with a dystopian future. Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan's characters are directly inspired from Mahabharat.

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote, "On the acting front, Prabhas leads the way and not only because the film revolves around him. His strong presence serves as a counterpoint to Amitabh Bachchan's towering Ashwatthama - the deathless warrior is an eight-footer. The latter's voice is, as always, an integral part of the character. Deepika Padukone, playing one of the central figures, is splendid as the pregnant woman on the run."

Headlined by a stellar cast, Kalki 2898 AD has minted ₹ 466 crore since its release on June 27. Kalki 2898 AD features Prabhas as Bhairava, Deepika Padukone as Sumati, Disha Patani as Roxie, Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwathama and Kamal Haasan as Supreme Yaskin The movie also includes cameo appearances by Mrunal Thakur, Ram Gopal Varma, SS Rajamouli, Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan. Kalki 2898 AD released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Aamir's Reaction To Sanjeeda's Comment About Losing Friends After Divorce

Aamir Ali, who parted ways with Sanjeeda Shaikh in 2021, recently reacted to his ex-wife's comment about losing friends after her divorce in an interview with Galatta India. The Lootere actor said he hasn't read Sanjeeda's comment. However, he said he won't share the nitty-gritty of his personal life in public. Speaking to Galatta India, Aamir Ali said, "I don't know what she said and why she said it. All the best to her and whatever she is doing in life. If you think someone is stopping you from growing and progressing in life, then go ahead... do what you want to do in life. Who am I to comment? I might have not been this understanding always, we all grow with time."

"People will think what they want to think. I never like to wash dirty linen in public. Whatever has happened, and people are talking about, it is between us. If we will address it in public, it will be spoken about. People will talk anyway, so let them be. It doesn't matter. People who know me, they matter to me. And I think people are smart enough. They can get the vibe. They understand a situation, eventually. I don't try, I am real," he added.

When asked to share a few thoughts about fatherhood, Aamir Ali's reply was, "I don't want to talk about it because it is a very sensitive thing. I don't want to say and feel things that will hurt me or someone later. I wish my ex and everybody else all the best in life."

For context, Sanjeeda Shaikh, during the promotions of Heeramandi, told Galatta India, "There are people who aren't my friends anymore. I should just send love to them for not being in my life anymore because I am better without them. I am so happy now. These are the experiences in life that teaches you. You don't need so many people. It's good what they did to me."

In an earlier interview with Hauterrfly, Sanjeeda spoke about the importance of cutting ties with people who have a negative impact on one's life. She said, "There are men, and there are partners who try to demotivate you, who tell you that you can't do anything. Or they will say you will not be able to do this. It's better to be away from such people. There are phases in every relationship where you are happy, and then there are some when you are not, and then you take a call for your life and that's what I did for myself, because I started loving myself and I started prioritising myself and that is very, very important."

Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda Shaikh got married in 2012. They welcomed a daughter Ayra in 2018 via surrogacy. They got separated in 2020 and eventually they got divorced in 2021.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi extended commiserations to the UK's Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak on the party's recent electoral washout, saying victories and setbacks are inevitable parts of democracy and that "we must take both in our stride".

"I would like to extend my commiserations on the recent electoral outcome. Victories and setbacks are both an inevitable part of the journey in a democracy and we must take both in our stride," the Congress MP said.

"Your dedication to public service and commitment to your people are commendable. I also deeply value the efforts you made to strengthen the ties between India and the UK during your term in office," he said.

Mr Gandhi expressed confidence that Rishi Sunak would continue to contribute to public life with his experience. "I wish you all the best for your future endeavours," the former Congress chief said.

On Friday, Keir Starmer became the UK's new Prime Minister and vowed to rebuild Britain, hours after his Labour Party secured a landslide victory in a general election in which the weary voters inflicted a "sobering verdict" on Rishi Sunak-led Conservatives.

The Labour Party secured 412 seats in the 650-member House of Commons, up 211 from the 2019 elections.
