TIL Farah Khan threw up every time SRK took off his shirt in “Dard-e-Disco” and people got Tag Heuer watches for being a part of “Deewangi Deewangi”.
1. Farah Khan first noted the story for Om Shanti Om in a diary when she was handling the choreography for Bombay Dreams, a musical about a boy from the slums becoming a superstar
2. Many years later, after Shah Rukh Khan rejected the first draft of Happy New Year, Farah was reminded of the idea by her husband, Shirish Kunder.
3. The first draft of the script (without dialogue) was completed within two weeks.
4. The scene where Om saves Shanti Priya from the fire was a callback to Mother India, where Sunil Dutt saved Nargis from a fire that went out of control on set IRL.
5. Sajid Khan told his sister to include a stuffed tiger for the scene where Om was filming the fake fight scene after being inspired by a film called Tarzan 303. She loved the idea and ordered a stuffed tiger overnight.

6. It was Shah Rukh Khan’s idea to yell “Naughty pussy” at the poor toy.
7. In the scene where Shanti Priya’s film Dreamy Girl is being premiered, the doppelgangers for a bunch of old-time actors started fighting on the red carpet over who gets a chance to go up first.

8. Farah Khan, who was pregnant at the time that “Dard-E-Disco” was being shot, would throw up every time Shah Rukh Khan took his shirt off for the song.
9. Farah Khan thought that Deepika Padukone gave a “terrible screen test”. In fact, they thought her diction was so bad that they had to turn the sound off.
10. But she was so taken by Deepika’s beauty, that she decided to cast her anyway and dub her sound in selected scenes.
11. They auditioned even for the role of Deepika’s voice because they didn’t want a familiar voice for a new face.
12. Deepika’s character, Shanti Priya, was modelled on Hema Malini in the 1970s. They named the film Dreamy Girl based on the actual Hema Malini film Dream Girl (1977).
13. Deepika Padukone was only 20 when the film was being made.
14. Arjun Rampal was cornered by Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in a bathroom at Shah Rukh’s New Year’s Eve party to convince him to be a part of the movie.
15. He initially refused to do the movie because he thought his character was “too evil”, but was later convinced by Shah Rukh to join the cast anyway.
16. In fact, it was Shah Rukh’s idea to add the mustache to Arjun’s look.
Red Chillies Entertainment
17. There were a total of 31 Bollywood stars in the song “Deewangi Deewangi”.
18. There would have been more, but many didn’t make it. For example, Fardeen Khan got arrested at Dubai airport in a drug case when he was on the way to shoot for the song.
19. Dev Anand refused to be in the song because he “only did lead roles, not cameos”.
20. It was Shah Rukh’s responsibility to rope in Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu for the song. But, they never showed up.
21. Amitabh Bachchan would have showed up, but he was a ~tad~ busy with Abhishek’s wedding to Aishwarya Rai.
22. Rekha took two days just to rehearse for her appearance in the song.
23. Aamir Khan refused to shoot the song because he was editing Taare Zameen Par.
24. But, Farah Khan said it was her dream to have the three Khans (Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir) in the same frame.
25. The song was shot over six days, wherein six people would come at a time to shoot their parts and leave. But, instead, they’d just hang around to chill with other Bollywood stars. NBD.
26. In the midst of all this chilling, Salman Khan, along with Saif Ali Khan, just cahj jumped into Dharmendra’s shot in the song and started dancing with him.
Red Chillies Entertainment
27. All the actresses who featured in the song were allowed to keep their Manish Malhotra-designed clothes from the shoot.

28. Every celeb who took their time out for the song was given a hamper with many gifts, including a Blackberry phone and a Tag Heuer watch.
29. For the Filmfare Awards red carpet scene, Farah Khan actually stood on the Red Carpet of an ACTUAL Filmfare Awards ceremony with her own camera and asked actors to deliver dialogues that she dictated.
My body is ready.
Why you should be excited: Ranbir's look from this Sanjay Dutt biopic bears an uncanny resemblance to the real man. Not just that, it is also Rajkumar Hirani's first film since PK in 2014.
Why you should be excited: This was the first Indian web series announced for Netflix and it boasts Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte, and Saif Ali Khan in its cast. To top it all, the show will be directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane (Udaan, Lootera).
Why you should be excited: As if Kangana hadn't cemented her queen status with her previous work, this is going to be a great chance for us to see her play a real one. It's also the first time she's doing a period drama, so that's something to look forward to.
Why you should be excited: Nivin Pauly in a Malayalam-Hindi movie written by Anurag Kashyap is what the world didn't know it needed.
Why you should be excited: Have you seen the stills from this movie? They look scary, and while there are no real details to go by, the movie comes across as a psychological thriller that won't be for the faint-hearted.
Why you should be excited: We've got a fun girl-run film on our hands here (AT LONG LAST), and Kareena's first post the birth of her baby Taimur. With the way the film has been cast and the promos so far, it looks like something you'd want to take your best girlfriends to.
Why you should be excited: Super Star Rajinikanth.
Why you should be excited: A movie that tackles caste in north India, has boxing in it, and a foxy AF Jimmy Shergill, all with Divine rapping in the background? SIGN ME UP.
Phantom Films
Why you should be excited: This is Prithviraj's directorial debut and honestly, what could go wrong when you've got Mohanlal in the lead?
Why you should be excited: The Balaji-produced web series was supposed to drop in 2017 but got stalled due to production issues. Now that it's complete, we will finally be able to watch Nimrat Kaur play an army soldier and my beating feminist heart needs to chill.
Why you should be excited: This movie about south Indian actress Savitri has a dream cast of Samantha Akkineni, Dulquer Salmaan (as Gemini Ganesan, no less), Keerthy Suresh, Prakash Raj, and Vijay Sethupathi. BE STILL, MY HEART.
Vyjayanthi Movies
Why you should be excited: A new Netflix movie from India and the first after Brahman Naman. It has an illustrious cast of Ratna Pathak Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Raghubir Yadav. It also has relative newcomers Vicky Kaushal (Masaan) and Angira Dhar (Bang Baaja Baaraat).
Why you should be excited: This is going to be Prabhas's first movie since the Baahubali series. He didn't take on any other projects during his time as the lead of the series and watching him shed the Baahubali vibe is definitely something everyone is dying to watch.
UV Creations
Why you should be excited: We see Saif playing a man with stomach cancer in a mostly English film (his first after Being Cyrus) and if the trailer is anything to go by, then we've got an eccentric ride ahead.
Why you should be excited: Of all the comedy series that Amazon announced last year, this is the only one that will be helmed by a woman. And to have that woman be Sumukhi Suresh is the delight of all alive and well, tbh.
Why you should be excited: Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are doing a movie together for the first time. UM. And also bb fave Fatima Sana Sheikh is looking like a total sword-yielding badass. So, I'm queuing up for this.
Why you should be excited: After their stellar chemistry in Ennu Ninte Moideen, Parvathy and Prithviraj will be seen together in the lead again for this film and that's honestly enough to make my ovaries burst.
Why you should be excited: AIB has been known to make stellar fictional content with their sketches and some even better stuff with Irrfan Khan. To watch the two forces combine to make a political satire show IS something to be more than excited for.
Why you should be excited: Shah Rukh Khan is playing a dwarf with Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in the leads. If this CGI and story is anything more effective than Fan (RIP sweet child), then we might have a new era of SRK right here.
Why you should be excited: UM WHERE DO I BEGIN? We have internet darling Mithila Palkar playing a lead role for the first time in a Hindi film. This is Dulquer's Bollywood debut. And Irrfan Khan is going to be there to bless us with his brilliance. TAKE MY MONEY.
Why you should be excited: Mired by controversy, the movie is going to rake in the moolah regardless of the quality (if it does happen). That said, it would be interesting to see what Ranveer Singh does with his first negative role or if SLB can make a film that isn't a rehash of Ram Leela.
SLB Films
Why you should be excited: This period drama about the 1971 Indo-Pak war is being helmed by a powerhouse of talent: Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt in the leads and Meghna Gulzar handling direction. This is also the director's first film since 2015's critically acclaimed Talvar.
Why you should be excited: Based on the book of the same name, it will be a look into Manmohan Singh's life in the PMO, and he will be played by Anupam Kher. At a time when the ex-PM has been vocal about the current regime, it would make for interesting viewing to know more about his infamous silence during his tenure.
Why you should be excited: This biopic about the Indian space programme is not just going to see the uber-talented Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead as an astronaut, but also the return of R. Madhavan to Bollywood after Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
Why you should be excited: The film is Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara's debut, and she has been cast opposite the illustrious Sushant Singh Rajput. The movie will also be directed by Abhishek Kapoor of Rock On! and Kai Po Che fame.
Why you should be excited: This is Anjali Menon's first film after the megahit Bangalore Days. It is Nazriya's first film since the same. AND they're bringing Parvathy to back them up. Prithviraj is here too. Oh, and Raghu Dixit is going to be composing some music for the film. I MEAN...
Why you should be excited: The trailer that dropped earlier this year boasts of a show that will combine math, science, and the underworld. If that could mean having our own Breaking Bad, I'm all up for it. Plus, Shashank Arora has been a name to watch out for since his big break in Titli.
Why you should be excited: Anil Kapoor, at age 60, playing a struggling singer while looking foxy as hell, with Aishwarya Rai in the lead and Rajkummar Rao (who will continue his streak of straight up KILLING IT next year too).
EVERYONE was there.

Find out what it took to make these women winners.
Question: "What do you know about the textile heritage of your country? How old has it been?"
Answer: "Well, I think it started off with Mahatma Gandhi's khadi. It's gone a long way since then, but the basics of the textile heritage lies in there."
Question: "If you have to look for qualities in a husband, would you look for the qualities in Ridge Forrester from Bold & Beautiful or in Mason Capwell from Santa Barbara? Why?”
Answer: "The qualities I would look for in a man, between the two characters that you've given to me, would be in Mason. Though they do share a lot in common, from what we get to see, Mason does have a very caring side to him and a terrific sense of humour. And that really gels with my character."
Question: "If you were a police officer in the garden of Eden, who would you punish for the original sin: Adam, Eve, or the serpent?"
Answer: "If I was a policeman in the garden of Eden, I'd take all three of them to court. Every person in life is faced with temptation; you must be able to decide for yourself, make your own choices, and live by your own rules. Above all, fear god, because he is everywhere."
Question: "If you were a police officer in the garden of Eden, who would you punish for the original sin: Adam, Eve, or the serpent?"
Answer: "If I was the police officer in the garden of Eden, I would punish Satan, the serpent, because I believe that evil is instigated, not created. Eve thought Satan was right. She believed him. Let us get a moral from this: to decipher between good and bad, without being biased."
Question: "You have spent 30 days with your fellow contestants from 30 states of India. What learnings would you take back with you?"
Answer: "I think these 30 days that I've spent at ...with my fellow contestants have been the most dynamic days of my life and the only thing that was certain about the whole experience was uncertainty. The one belief that I would take back with me would be that I can change the world, because when I entered Miss India, it was only passion and a purpose, but through the journey, I had a vision. That vision in my head and the belief that I can change the world is something that I'm going to take back with me."
Question: "If given an opportunity to ask the judges a question, what would you ask?"
Answer: "I have only one question to ask everyone out here at this stage. When the world is seeking peace, why are we fighting over one border line? Do you think it's possible for each one of us to not live as Indians and Pakistanis, and to start living like human beings?"
Question: "In the context of the recent controversy, if you were Chelsea, what is the single most important advice you as a daughter would give to your parents Bill and Hillary Clinton, and why?"
Answer: "The most important piece of advice I would give my parents, Bill and Hillary Clinton, would be to stand by each other because, now is the time the world is testing us and we should put aside our differences and put up a brave front because family is the single most important unit."
Question: "Let's consider two often said quotes: 1. Fools seldom differ, and 2. Great minds think alike. Which one do you believe, and why?"
Answer: "I believe that great minds think alike, because intelligence is like a triple bond which joins minds to vibe at the same level. The higher the IQ, the greater the bonding."
Question: "Some believe that too much of everything is as bad as too little. What is your opinion?"
Answer: "Yes, it is true that too much of everything is as bad as little, because satisfaction and gracious acceptance is the keyword for a happy and peaceful life. Too much takes the satisfaction away."
Question: "The rate of divorce in India is on the rise. What do you feel is the cause of this? Is it western influence or something else?"
Answer: "Yes, divorce rates are on the rise in India. It is not the influence of western culture, I believe, because at the end of the day, it is you who decide who's worth you. It is the way you understand each other and go ahead. In life, that matters. Marriage is not where one completes you, but it is where one shares your completeness."
Question: "If you had a choice of creating 1,000 permanent jobs or feeding 1,000 starving children everyday, which would you choose and why?"
Answer: "The children are the future of our country and yes, I would like to feed 1,000 children every single day but on the contrary, I think that if I created 1,000 permanent jobs wherein an individual like me would benefit and their life would change, then I would empower that human being to, in future, be able to feed many more starving children on a regular basis because someone has shown them a kind deed and it has transformed their lives."
He wins for being the coolest Bachchan though.
