Salman Khan’s Tere Naam is one of the most popular movies from his illustrious career in Bollywood. The 2003 film is mainly remembered for Salman’s iconic hairstyle which started a trend during its release. Do you know that the superstar once refused to take credit for Satish Kaushik’s directorial? Salman claimed that he did nothing in the cult film.

During his old interview with Lehren Retro, Salman Khan got candid about working in the 2003 film, Tere Naam. Salman admitted that the superstar shouldn’t get credit for it as he didn’t do much in the second half.

“Kuch nahin tha Tere Naam mein. Ek mein baal hain aur ek mein takla. Screenplay bol raha tha. Second half mein maine koi dialogue bola? Maine kuch kiya hai second half mein? Bas yun…(There was nothing in Tere Naam. I had hair in [first half] and was bald in [second half]. It was all about the screenplay. Did I deliver any dialogue in the second half? Have I done anything in the second half? I was just…[bowing my head down]),” Salman said.

Salman mentioned that the success of Tere Naam goes to the director, screenplay, writers, dialogues and the plot of the 2003 film who made his character what it was. The superstar claimed that he had done “nothing” in the movie.

During the same interview, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan star noted how actors often don’t get an appreciation for the films in which they work hard. Referring to Karan Arjun, the Maine Pyar Kiya actor shared that he also didn’t do much in Rakesh Roshan’s directorial. He added that other star cast “worked” for him in the 1995 movie.

In Tere Naam, Salman Khan played the role of Radhe Mohan, a graduate yet jobless man. He was romantically paired with then-debutante Bhumika Chawla. Bhumika was cast as Nirjara, a student from his college and the daughter of a temple priest. The 2003 film also starred Sachin Khedekar, Ravi Kishan, Indira Krishna, Sarfaraz Khan, and others.

Salman now has AR Murugadoss’ highly-anticipated film, Sikandar. The upcoming actioner will also feature Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, and Preteik Babbar. It will be released on Eid 2025.

With her debut movie Bobby, Dimple Kapadia became a household name. But she returned to the big screen after more than a decade. Even then, she succeeded in making the audience fall for her acting skills and charm. After ruling the Indian film industry and winning many accolades including the National Film Award, she starred in the American movie Tenet. In a recent interview, the actress recalled that director Christopher Nolan requested that she leave her earrings behind after filming her scene.

Going back in time, Dimple Kapadia narrated she went for a fitting and promptly took out her earrings and wore them. Christopher Nolan turned around and said to her, ‘Oh, they’re lovely. You can leave them behind after your shoot.’ The veteran Indian star obliged his request and left her piece of jewelry with him. While talking to Vogue India, the Angrezi Medium actress also heaped praise on Jeffrey Kurland who designed her costumes for Tenet.

Lauding him for his patience, she stated that Jeffrey was really kind. “He took all my nonsense and bullsh*t. He struggled with me, poor guy. But what a look he created. It was absolutely beautiful!” the actress exclaimed. For the unknown, Tenet is a science fiction action thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It also stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh in key roles. Kapadia plays the role of Priya Singh who is an Indian arms trafficker and a member of the Tenet.

Kapadia also played a key tole in Farhan Akhtar’s comedy movie, Dil Chahta Hai. During the same chat, she revealed that it was her co-star and dear friend Akshaye Khanna who convinced her to be part of the 2001 movie. “Akshaye Khanna called me up. He was such a sweetheart. He said, ‘Please, please, do it for me’. And yeah, I said, ‘Of course’. And thank God I did it because working with Zoya (Akhtar) and working with that team was completely… I think by this time, it was a different kind of generation I was working with,” she divulged.

Meanwhile, on the work front, she was seen in Murder Mubarak and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, earlier this year.
