Podcast appearances and mentions of Abhishek Bachchan

Patreon bonus episodes whilst we were away: Live Reaction: Sitaare Zameen Par and Thug Life Trailer and Laal Pari Bonus Patreon: Too Sad to Be Funny, Too Funny to Be Cancelled This week on Khandaan: chaos, candour, and a touch of Shah Rukh. After a short break, the full Khandaan crew is back in the house—and we're not easing in gently. In this episode, we dive headfirst into everything that's been on our minds: the personal cost of conflict, censorship in media, and how Bollywood fits into a world that feels increasingly divided. From WhatsApp group tensions to government-issued podcast warnings (!), this is one of our most personal episodes yet.

Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to discuss the week's biggest stories. They react to the news that England bowler Mark Wood will miss 4 months after undergoing knee surgery, and reflect on Sam Curran's appointment as Surrey's new T20 captain, and what that means for his England career. The new Northamptonshire Head Coach Darren Lehmann joins the show to discuss his new role whilst also looking ahead to this winter's Ashes series in Australia. They discuss the latest picks from The Hundred draft, as David Warner secures a contract, but James Anderson goes unsold. And Cricket Ireland's CEO Warren Deutrom and Abhishek Bachchan discuss the new European T20 League, which launches later this summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, Hello, Hello! In this new (but considerably delayed) episode, we talk about two films that approach the subject of talking differently -- "I Want to Talk" and "Meiyazhagan." 'I Want to Talk,' directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Abhishek Bachchan, continues the director's trend to push his films to the brink of becoming anti-dramas. C Prem Kumar's 'Meiyazhagan,' on the other hand, is a classic tear-jerker. The new Tamizh film, starring a sentimental Arvind Swamy and an effervescent Karthi, indulges in nostalgia and episodic storytelling to engage its audiences. Check out the episode to know what we thought of these drastically different approaches to capturing conversation (or the lack of it) in cinema.

Abhishek Bachchan's first podcast ever! When the movie, I Want to Talk was being filmed in Hemet California, I always wanted to ask Abhishek Bachchan (the Movie Arjun) how he felt being Arjun. As I got to know him, I was more intrigued by his level of professionalism and dedication. The filming ended and we never got a chance to have that Arjun to Arjun conversation. In my healing journey, I had marked 100 days, 1,000 days, 5,000 days and 10,000 days. The 10,000th day was February 5th, 2024. That night I was up all night. As I browsing the net, I realized February 5th was Abhishek's birthday. I reached out to him to wish him a happy birthday and both of us realized it was destiny that our paths crossed. Now, just before the launch of the movie we finally had the Arjun to Arjun conversation. It was simply from his heart. So here it is. Please do not miss the end of the conversation when Abhishek shared his wish for me. All I can say is that his words left me speechless.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, August 13, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Indian benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty 50 ended Monday's session flat amid mixed global cues.    Retail investors like us, once mere spectators in the stock market, are now major players. Just last July, a staggering 4.5 million new demat accounts popped up, a big jump from the 3.5 million monthly average of the past year. To put it in perspective, back in 2019, we only saw about 400 thousand new accounts monthly. Now, 43% of companies listed on the NSE have over 50,000 retail shareholders, a significant increase from just 441 companies in March 2020. Even more impressive, 54 firms now have over a million retail shareholders—almost five times more than four years ago. So where is this inflow from retail investors headed? Are they betting big on blue-chip giants, or taking risks on smaller companies? Niti Kiran from Mint's data team takes a look.  Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation's top boss, Akihiro Fukutome, is flying to India this week, eyeing a big slice of Yes Bank. Three people aware of the development told Mint's banking editor Gopika Gopakumar, that Fukutome is thinking about snapping up a whopping 51% stake, pegging the deal at 5 billion dollars. Fukutome's trip includes meetings with top officials from the Reserve Bank of India and the State Bank of India, which currently holds a 23.99 per cent stake in Yes Bank. The discussions are critical, as SMBC has started the due diligence process, leveraging the financial expertise of JPMorgan and legal guidance from J Sagar Associates. But why Yes Bank? Well, SMBC sees a lot of promise in the private lender and is keen to make a major play in India's banking scene. Airfares for the upcoming Independence Day weekend have surged by as much as 50% due to a combination of holiday timing and slow fleet expansion. Independence Day and the Parsi New Year on August 15, followed by Rakshabandhan on Monday, have created a perfect storm for a long, five-day weekend, encouraging many to take extended breaks. This has led to a spike in bookings, particularly for popular destinations like Bengaluru, Delhi, Srinagar, and Leh. Mint's Anu Sharma reports that the rise in airfares is partly due to the slow pace at which new aircraft are being added to India's fleets, even as the demand for travel significantly outpaces supply. Industry insiders point to a shortage of spare parts and delayed aircraft deliveries as key factors keeping capacity from meeting the surging demand.The Hindi film industry, which traditionally relied heavily on the star power of individual male leads, is shifting gears. As solo star vehicles falter at the box office, producers are increasingly turning to ensemble casts, betting on the combined drawing power of multiple big names to lure larger audiences and ensure robust ticket sales. Take, for instance, Ranveer Singh's upcoming untitled movie that stars not just him but also Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, and R. Madhavan. Similarly, the latest installment of the Housefull series boasts a lineup that includes Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan. At the same time, Kumar's other project, Welcome 3, packs an even more star-studded cast. Mint's media correspondent Lata Jha spoke to trade experts who suggest that films with ensemble casts draw from the fan bases of each star, potentially ensuring grand openings.For more than a year, the Indian equity market has witnessed an unusual divergence—Bank Nifty has consistently underperformed compared to the benchmark Nifty. Typically, these two indices move closely together, so this gap suggests something is off balance. The prime suspect for this underperformance? HDFC Bank, which holds significant weight in the Bank Nifty. But it's not just about one bank; the entire banking sector in India is facing several challenges, as evident from recent financial results. Mint's Abhishek Mukherjee takes a deep dive into the banking sector's struggles with systemic challenges, evident in its first quarter results.  We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Peeps,This week we started with an interesting take on education or all with Dasvi where Abhishek Bachchan , playing a corrupt politician in prison decides that he can still appear for his Standard 10 exam, just so he can escape hard work first but then gets really into the political education when he reads about the freedom struggle of india and enlists several inmates to help him with math and other subjects.Longish but interesting story. Streams Netlfix.Then there was a rant of a movie called Hurdang which we wished we had not watched. it was like a rant of a privileged person against the lower caste reservations. Na, not buying that one.Waste of a trip to the theater.The ones we really liked was Kunal Kemmu's Abhay. First, Kemmu is a dish. Second, if there is a crime thriller you want to enjoy, come here - watch this really engaging one on zee5.We dig it.Love y'allSeeya next weekShiraal

Mai—the new Netflix thriller starring Sakshi Tanwar—is a deceptively bad show that actively tries to distance itself from its compelling hook. We discuss the show's leaps of logic, gaping plot holes, and Tanwar's two-note performance. We also find time to chat about Abhishek Bachchan and his analysis of Dhoom, and inevitably conclude by shaking our heads at Netflix India yet again. — Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.

Uttar Pradesh police arrested a 38-year-old priest for allegedly issuing rape threats to Muslim women during a hate speech in Sitapur, PM Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Prime Ministers' museum, centre is set to start the process of collecting data on the representation of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) employees at all levels of government, Abhishek Bachchan's latest release Dasvi earns good reviews and praise from the audience and other top news in this bulletin.

A film can be anything it wants to be, but Dasvi makes the cardinal mistake of being... boring! Innumerable yawn-inducing, unfunny moments together conspire to make it a tiresome watch. It's all very well to end with a Nelson Mandela quote about the “power of education”, but good intentions alone can't make a great film. Host: RJ Stutee

"My school friends really cut me to size" - Abhishek Bachchan & Nimrat Kaur are on Spill the Tea with Sneha Menon Desai talking about their life in their film Dasvi, their rapport with their school friends and a piece of advice to their 16-year old self. Bachchan talks about the sentiment behind the emotional post by his father and why he believes 'audiences are far less forgiving today.'

Nepotism has been the buzz word in B-town over the last few years, especially after the sudden death of rising star, Sushant Singh Rajput. Since then, film fans have started to question whether Bollywood is for those who know the right people rather than for those who can act. Would you rate Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Pandey, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor or Alia Bhatt as talented actors if they weren't born in to star families? In this podcast, Haroon Rashid is joined by Nayandeep Rakshit from Bollywood Bubble and Amrita Tanna from BizAsia who dissect whether nepotism does really give a ‘star kid' or ‘celeb mate' the platform they need to shine; or does their fate ultimately depend on how talented an actor they are.

He's only 24 and already Rohit Saraf has shared the screen with A-listers like Alia Bhatt in Dear Zindagi, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas in The Sky is Pink and Abhishek Bachchan in Ludo. But he says he never dreamt of being an actor, in fact he wanted to be a dancer - and that dream came true with the music video "Shola" by singer Akasa. The rising star says he has more fun at work than partying with mates and feels he's "one of the luckiest people in the world" because of the adoration from his fans. Find out how he takes criticism and what he makes of his new pin-up status following the success of Netflix's teen rom-com, Mismatched.

Junior Bachchan takes a look back on his two decades in Bollywood - from the roles that made him uncomfortable to his new experimental phase. He's never seen a film as risky - whether it was pretending to be gay in Dostana, or playing the husband who loses his wife to another man in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Abhishek thinks the audiences are now demanding more realistic films but he can't resist a "full-on masala film" with all the pomp and melodrama. Haroon also catches up with actress Aditi Rao Hydari as well as writer, director Neeraj on the anthology Ajeeb Daastaans, which is the latest Bollywood release on Netflix. Aditi says she doesn't mind being typecast - even if its for her forever glazed eyes!

Abhishek Bachchan was right. The Big Bull isn't like Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story at all. It's much worse. Watch him laugh maniacally for what seems like an eternity, cringe as he loiters around tourist hotspots in Delhi, and scratch your head as you try to make sense of Kookie Gulati's baffling direction. The Big Bull is one of Disney+ Hotstar's worst “Multiplex” offerings. And that is saying something. — Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully bootstrapped.
