Not many Bollywood stars admit doing films for money. Most of them want to create the perception that they take up a project because they believe in it. So, this may come as a surprise but Bollywood star Anil Kapoor has not only revealed that he did some movies for money, but also revealed the names of those films.

The 64-year-old actor in an interview to an English daily revealed that he worked on Andaz and Heer Ranjha for the money. He explained that his family was in a crisis after the film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja did not do well at the box-office. The movie was produced by Anil’s brother Boney Kapoor and starred the latter’s wife and superstar Sri Devi.

Anil said, “...the family was in a crisis and each one of us did what we had to do for survival, out of a sense of responsibility.” The actor said that the family has now moved forward from those difficult times but he would not think twice before doing whatever is required for the family, if they face bad times again.

Yesteryears Bollywood Veteran Zeenat Aman is making a comeback on screen in a new avatar, in the upcoming film 'Margaon: The Closed File'.

Talking about the same, director Kapil Kaustubh Sharma shared: Zeenatji will be seen in a strong role of a woman named Sylvia. It's a complex and unconventional character with various shades.

Actor Sonu Sood on Thursday asserted that there are no irregularities in the sustainability of his Juhu residential complex. Reacting to the police complaint filed by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for converting his six-storied residential building into a hotel without due permission, Sonu said he would appeal in Bombay High Court against the move.

The building in question is one where the actor had offered to house Covid 19 patients last year.

Speaking exclusively to a news agency, Sonu said: "I have already taken an approval for the change of user from the BMC. It was subject to approval of the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA). This permission hasn't come due to Covid-19. There are no irregularities. I always abide by the law. This hotel was used to house Covid-19 warriors during the pandemic. If the permission doesn't come, I will restore it back to a residential structure. I am appealing against the complaint in the Bombay High Court."
