Shahid And I Have Only Been Very Good Colleagues, We Were Not Even Friends: Amrita Rao

Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao have been one of the most loved couples on the big screen. Both of them started their careers almost simultaneously, where Amrita made her Bollywood debut in 2002 with Ab Ke Baras, Shaheed started his film career with Ishq Vishk a year later.## Amrita was Shahid's co-star in his debut film Ishq Vishk. Directed by Ken Ghosh, the movie was about a boy caught up in a love triangle. The film did very well at the box office and made Shahid and Amrita one of the most popular young couples onscreen. There were even rumours that the two were dating each other. However, Amrita has denied it saying that they were not even good friends. ## In an interview with The Times of India, Amrita also spoke about her debut movie and the experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan in Main Hoon Na, and other things.## On how did she deal with all those rumors and link-up stories with Shahid Kapoor and why she and Shahid have never worked after Vivah remains a "million-dollar" question. ## "Shahid was always in a relationship when I was his co-star. The funny part is that Shahid and I have only been very good colleagues, we were not even friends who hung out with each other. But yes, we have tremendous respect for each other as artists and recently Shahid also expressed on social media that he misses working with me, which was very sweet. Why Shahid and I were never cast together after 'Vivah' is a million-dollar question and something to think about".## After Ishq Vishk, Shahid and Amrita were also seen together in Sooraj Barjatya's Vivah (2006) which became a blockbuster, and Life Ho Toh Aisi (2005). She worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Main Hoon Na (2004).

She said that she is "nervous about the idea of motherhood but the saying is true- when you see your baby’s face the mother in you effortlessly awakens". ## Stay tuned...

Tiger Shroff Set To Take Action To The Next Level With Four Back To Back Movies

Tiger Shroff's rise as an actor has been phenomenal. After making his debut in 2014 with the romantic-action film "Heropanti", the young actor has been unstoppable and has consistently given superhit films except for "A Flying Jatt" in 2016. ## Only eight movies of experience, the 30-year old's last release, Baaghi 3 was a potential 100 crore club success ((which just stopped at Rs. 96.5 crore due to theaters shutting down in March). Before that, Tiger was involved in the biggest blockbuster of the year 2019 with Hrithik Roshan in "War" which hit the 300 crore club mark. ## Now, with riding on success in the past, the actor is set to take the action to the next level with his upcoming movies which are gonna release in 2021 and 2022. It has just been announced that the makers of the blockbuster Baaghi franchise are coming with its 4th installment which will go on floors early next year. ## Also Read - The Much-Awaited Star Cast Of War-Drama 'Pippa' Announced ## Earlier, producer Sajid Nadiadwala had announced the sequel of Heropanti and has been planned to take this franchise to the next level in terms of scale, action, and all other aspects. Heropanti 2 will also be Tiger's first film post lockdown, on which, the actor will begin shooting in December this year. ## Apart from Baaghi 4 and Heropanti 2, the actor is also doing 2 more movies titled Ganpant and Rambo which is the remake of the Hollywood movie with the same name. There is no doubt that the producers are banking on him and putting their money considering his popularity among the youth. ## Talking about Baaghi 4 and Heropanti 2, director Ahmed Khan is on board to direct both the films which are planned to be shot across 25 countries. While the suspense over the leading lady in Baaghi 4 remains, Tara Sutaria has been roped in as the female lead to romance Tiger in Heropanti 2. The film's first look poster of Heropanti 2 was released quite some time back and that promised Tiger to be presented in a slick avatar. ## Also Read - Shraddha Kapoor Roped In To Portray Ichhadhaari Nagin In Naagin Trilogy ## Ganpat is in the making with the director Vikas Behl. As per reports, Tiger is going to play a boxer. While more details are yet to be revealed, the movie is already creating a lot of buzz around action movies in the future. ## Rambo is going to be on an altogether different plane though. An official remake of Sylvester Stallone's with the same name, the film's announcement came many times back with an impressive launch poster to boast of as well. The movie to be directed by Sidharth Anand and expectations would be high from the actor-director duo to do justice with this remake. ## One thing is for sure, Tiger Shroff would need to put in a lot of hard work to prepare for these four monstrous action movies which won't be that easy considering the fact that action movies require a lot of physical strength. This could well be the test of times for Tiger who is clearly one of the youngest superstars coming out from Bollywood. Let's see how well he meets this criterion. ## Also Read - Actor Mahesh Thakur To Play PM Narendra Modi In Web Series 'Modi: CM to PM' ## Stay tuned...
