The last time we saw <keyword id="51959" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pankaj-kapur">Pankaj Kapur</keyword> endorsing something was when he played a sidekick to a don in a Maggie Noodles commercial. 
 Years later, he is back to the small screen in an advertisement for Lay’s, with <keyword id="6357861" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="ranbir-kapoor">Ranbir Kapoor</keyword>. 
 
In the ad, he plays a strict professor, who gets fooled by Ranbir Kapoor using Lay’s chips, so that he can bunk the lecture and watch the match. 
 
Well, all we can say that it’s a welcome change to see an actor of his stature making a comeback in the advertising space. After all, it’s cricket that we are talking about, no less than a religion in the subcontinent. 
 
The ad has been created by JWT and has been directed by Ravi Udyawar, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music by Dhruv Ghanekar.

Pankaj Kapur Joins The Lay’s Bandwagon For World Cup

Since the past few days, rumours are rife that <keyword id="3778" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Karan-Johar">Karan Johar</keyword> will launch two more star kids in the upcoming sequel to his 2012 hit Student of the Year, which marked the debut of two star kids, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, along with a relatively unknown <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/We-tell-you-what-Katrina-Kaif-is-doing-with-Sidharth-Malhotra/articleshow/51210361.cms">Sidharth Malhotra</a>. 
 The star kids to be launched now are <keyword id="1859751" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ishaan-Khattar">Ishaan Khattar</keyword> and <keyword id="823990" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sara-Ali-Khan">Sara Ali Khan</keyword>, and while the latter’s name does ring (she is actor Saif Ali Khan’s daughter), Ishaan Khattar doesn’t have a popular surname, and has been mostly unheard of. Then, who is this lucky guy who is getting the best launch pad the entire industry can offer? 
 Ishaan Khattar, born to actress <keyword id="87662" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Neelima-Azim">Neelima Azim</keyword> and voice-over artist <keyword id="113410" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rajesh-Khattar">Rajesh Khattar</keyword> in 1995, is the younger half-brother of Bollywood heartthrob <keyword id="6355887" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shahid-Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</keyword>, who was born to Neelima Azim and actor Pankaj Kapoor. For a brief period of time before he made his Bollywood debut with Ken Ghosh’s Ishq Vishk, Shahid was living with his mother and Rajesh Khattar, which is why he is said to be very close to Ishaan, who is 15 years younger to him. 
 
While Sara Ali Khan (born 1993) is known to have made only brief media appearances during her father’s <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/If-you-thought-only-TwinkleKhanna-and-Akshay-are-confessing-their-love-on-social-media-you-need-to-checkthese-pics/Saif-Ali-Khan-and-Kareena-Kapoor/slideshow/47691259.cms">marriage to actress Kareena Kapoor</a> and her aunt Soha Ali Khan’s marriage to actor Kunal Khemu, she did manage to look ravishing in a photo shoot she did for a popular magazine with her mother Amrita Singh, back in 2012. To date, she remains absent from the social media, and can only be seen in images shared by her father or brother Ibrahim Ali Khan. 
 
Ishaan, on the other hand, is active on social media, particularly on Instagram, where he keeps on sharing his images and dubsmash videos. Ishaan is known to be a trained dancer from Shiamak Davar's dance academy, the same place where his brother learned his killer moves, and has already started his training in movies by being an Assistant Director in films, as suggested by his Instagram posts. 
 
Talking of Instagram, here is a look at some of his best images and videos that the Khattar lad shared with the world, to convince you that Karan Johar has again managed to find someone who seems to have a bright future in the Bollywood industry, and it’s not just about the way he looks or dances, though we do have to applause him for his dancing skills that he even showed off during <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Stop-everything-and-watch-Ishaan-and-Shahid-doing-the-Dhating-Naach/articleshow/48019852.cms">Shahid’s marriage to Mira Rajput</a> last year. Khattar, who comes across as committed to his fitness, can be seen doing various lifts and adventure sports, showing off his toned body and sculpted abs. Not to forget, his videos give you a glimpse into the many expressions that he can manage to bring out within seconds. 
 
Have a look!

The December 24, 1999 hijack of the Indian Airlines flight is getting a series treatment at Netflix with <keyword id="19913032" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anubhav-sinha" source="keywords">Anubhav Sinha</keyword> attached as creator and director. The show is titled "IC 814: The Kandhar Hijack" and stars <keyword id="19901508" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-varma" source="keywords">Vijay Varma</keyword>, Patralekha, Pankaj Kapur, Naseeruddin Shah, Arvind Swamy, Dia Mirza, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, Amrita Puri, and Anupam Tripathi. According to the makers, the series revolves around "the 24th December 1999 hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight IC 814 which was en route from Kathmandu to New Delhi. It was taken to Kandahar. The hijack lasted seven days and while the crew and passengers suffered, officers back home tried to find a solution to bring them home." Sinha, known for films such as "Mulk", "Article 15" and "Bheed", said it was a responsibility to be as authentic as possible while working on the series. "When I started doing research, almost everyone remembers a few things about the hijack, and what all happened during the process. I realised it is a very complex story and a lot of things happened in those seven days and not many people know about it. "I met a lot of officers, passengers, the pilot, and there was a lot more to share. We have put it all in the show... We had to make it factually correct and yet dramatic and engaging... It was an interesting process," the director said at the Next on Netflix event here. Sinha added Monika <keyword id="20775712" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shergill" source="keywords">Shergill</keyword>, Vice President, Content, Netflix India, had promised him that the shooting of the series will conclude within eight months but it went on for two years. Shergill described the show as a "thrilling, propulsive rendition of the longest hijacking in the history of aviation in the world". "When we started out on this story, it took us a while to get down to actually making it in the right way. It was a journey for us because it is such a journalistic sort of piece, but it is such a large story of human interest and it had to be told in the most dramatic and thrilling fashion," Shergill told PTI.

Netflix announces series on 1999 Kandahar hijack, Anubhav Sinha to direct show

By Radhika Sharma New Delhi, Apr 27 () Pressing the rewind button to shows that were wholesome, fun and told their stories sans artifice is perhaps the best antidote to the stresses of today when the country is locked in to stave off a pandemic, say some of those who rang in the golden age of TV in the 1980s and 1990s.Shows such as "Khichdi", "Sarabhai vs Sarabhai", "Buniyaad" and "Office Office" are about nostalgia, of course, but are also helping the younger generation discover a gentler India.The lockdown, which began on March 25 and is set to go on till at least May 3, has led to production shutdowns and a freeze on fresh episodes of current TV shows, forcing channels to dig into their archives to bring back old favourites, including the first major TV retelling of the epics, "Ramayan" and "Mahabharat", that have been remade several times since. And it couldn't be timed better, said old-timers like filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, writer-director Asif Kapadia and actors Pankaj Kapur, Satish Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah. Kapadia, writer-director of "Khichdi" and co-producer of "Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai", said the progressive values of the two shows, both revolving around Gujarati families, make them relevant even today. "Khichdi" is a good natured look at a madcap joint family whose members want to sell their mansion and go their separate ways but stay put because of the patriarch. "Sarabhai vs Sarabhai" revolves around a south Bombay affluent Gujarati family whose members are often at odds with each other."These shows have been a part of many generations. So people get a lot of hope, joy, and laughter. Their return is also giving the audience freedom from the current crop of shows which glorify a regressive mindset," Kapadia told ."After watching 'Sarabhai' or 'Khichdi' with family, people will not feel that something wrong has entered our drawing room. Apart from the comedy and values, they also like the inherent innocence and fun of these shows," he added. The "Sarabhai" trio -- Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah and Sumeet Raghavan – said they are enjoying revisiting the show in these worrying times.Laughter is the best medicine, Satish Shah said."Just as doctors prescribe antacids with certain amount of medicines, humour too works like an antacid. What else can be better than 'Khichdi' and 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai', which have an eternal shelf life of unadulterated humour?" he asked.Ratna Pathak Shah, who plays Maya Sarabhai, said the shows remind people of happier, simpler, and more innocent times.Asserting that she is not "too much of a fan of nostalgia", the veteran actor said, "But I'm very curious to find what the younger generation is going to say about these programmes. The old and young people who have seen and loved it will enjoy them all over again, I guess. I'm looking forward to hearing some opinions and meanwhile, I'm enjoying 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai'." Raghavan, who plays Sahil, a son caught between his mother and wife's constant bickering, on "Sarabhai" said bringing a blast from the past to comfort audiences is the way to go."Except for the digital platform, there is nothing new to watch on TV because shoots have stalled. So the best thing is to get these iconic shows back on TV. All the shows are available on YouTube or other digital platforms... But television still has its own charm. I feel watching those old shows again brings a smile on our faces which is so important in these times," he said. "Office Office", which was praised for projecting a common person's woes in government offices and tackles important issues in a humorous way, will stay "evergreen", said Kapur who plays the lead role of Mussadilal Tripathi.Its comedy is identifiable. "It has always had a soft spot in my heart because we had a wonderful time working for about four and four-and-half years on this project. The show created social awareness with humour, which is its asset. It'll stay evergreen for years to come because the problems that it talked about are there everywhere. We can talk about it for years," the veteran actor said.Hemant Pandey, who plays the role of Pandeyji, a government employee, on the show, said the show is relatable and relevant, a classic comedy that can never grow old. "In these testing times, families can come together and watch a show that brings happiness," he said."This show will make people nostalgic and also make younger audience experience comedy like never before. I have beautiful memories attached to the show."Filmmaker Ramesh Sippy who directed "Buniyaad", a Partition saga told through the fortunes and misfortunes of the family of a freedom fighter, is happy to see the serial return after over three decades of its airing and hopes the younger generation discovers it now."It has been more than 30 years and the show still has recall value. People remember it even today, they associate it with the Partition. Today's young generation has forgotten all that, it has been more than 70 years. But still, somewhere in families, the stories are there. The younger generation can't look back the same way as the older generation did. But I hope they discover the show now," Sippy said.Actors Arun Govil and Deepika Chikhalia, the original Ram-Sita of Indian TV, believe their show "Ramayan" will bring generations -- old and young -- together as the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic."It is good the show is back, the timing is great for the release as everyone is at home with their family. It is a show meant to be watched with the entire family, the young generation with the old generation," Govil said."It is the right time because the scenes are so gloomy and economically we are bad, at every stage and phase, the world is suffering. You just sit back and pray to God and hope we all come out of it," Chikhalia said. RDS BK MIN MINMIN

Blast from the past: old TV shows not just about nostalgia in lockdown month

<keyword id="6355887" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shahid-Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</keyword>, <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword> and <keyword id="143066" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vikas-Bahl">Vikas Bahl</keyword> have been doing amazing work lately, and this is the reason that their upcoming project <keyword id="2499664" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shaandaar">Shaandaar</keyword> is quite awaited by fans and critics alike. In what’s called India’s first movie based on destination weddings, we would see Shahid as Jagjinder Joginder, a wedding planner responsible for a destination wedding and Alia as, well, Alia, the sister of the bride. 
 
Both Shahid and Alia are rumored to be playing insomniacs in the movie, which is why the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Shaandaar-First-look-out-trailer-and-release-dates-announced/articleshow/48358558.cms">first poster</a> of the movie showed them sound asleep, holding each other’s hands. 
 The first song from the much-anticipated Dusshehra release is out. It’s sung by Vishal Dadlani and Anusha Mani, with Amit Trivedi’s music and Anvita Dutt’s lyrics, and we see Shahid, one of the best dancers in <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, Alia, and <keyword id="2593624" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sanah-Kapur">Sanah Kapur</keyword> (Shahid’s sister from his father’s marriage to actress Supriya Pathak Kapur) grooving to its tunes. The song, Gulaabo, was released online today, after a strong buzz on all major social networking websites for two days. 
 
If reports are to be believed, the first song release of the movie featuring Sanah was Shahid’s Rakshabandhan gift to his pretty sister. 
 
Catch the song here. 
 
 
 
 
The movie, which also stars Shahid’s father Pankaj Kapur, along with Sushma Seth, Niki Aneja Walia, Sanjay Kapoor, releases on 22nd October.

Watch Shahid and Alia match steps in Gulaabo, the first song from Shaandaar

<keyword id="6355887" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shahid-Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</keyword>’s marriage has been a talk of town ever since the news of his alleged engagement came up. Even though Shahid denied engagement rumours, he <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Another-Bollywood-hottie-goes-off-the-Eligible-Bachelor-list/articleshow/46712894.cms">confirmed the news</a> of him getting married by the end of the year. 
 
Later, we came to know that the girl who has won the heart of the Haider actor is <keyword id="2775998" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mira-Rajput">Mira Rajput</keyword>, an alumnus of Delhi University. While we saw many fake Facebook pages with her name and some edited images of the couple, we got hold of both of them <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Finally-Shahid-and-Mira-in-a-single-frame/articleshow/47356669.cms">together in one frame</a>, sealing the news once and for all. 
 
Ever since then, there have been many speculations regarding the wedding and the destination that both of them would be heading to for their honeymoon, if Shahid manages to get time from his professional commitments, which includes judging the upcoming season of the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhlaa Ja. 
 
First, we heard that the couple would be heading for a destination wedding to Bali, which was later changed to Greece. After Shahid joked about people knowing more about his wedding than he himself knew, these speculations were put to rest for a while. However, since both Shahid and Mira are followers of Radha Soami Satsang Beas, there were some reports that they would be doing a private ceremony in Beas, where the religious organization is headquartered. 
 
All said and done, this all guesswork has been proven wrong, because we have now got hold of Shahid and Mira’s wedding card, which clearly states that it’s going to be a lavish ceremony in one of the most reputed hotels in Gurgaon. 
 
Here is an image of the wedding card. 
 
 
 
The card is beautifully decorated and carries the name of Bela and Vikramaditya Rajput, Mira’s parents. With Shahid’s father Pankaj Kapur, it also carries the names of both Neelima Azeem, Shahid’s biological mother, and Supriya Pathak Kapur, his mother from his father’s second marriage. 
 
The wedding is going to happen on 7th July 2015, and the card demands no gifts, only blessings. 
 
How sweet! 
 
Team Business Insider India wishes the soon to be married couple a happy and blessed life together.

No Greece, No Beas! Shahid Kapoor’s wedding is happening in Gurgaon

In the last few years, we have had a lot of movies that have tried to offer something new to the audience. In fact, last week itself, we saw the release of a biopic staring <keyword id="1655" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Priyanka-Chopra">Priyanka Chopra</keyword>, which has been much appreciated. 
 This week it was the turn of Deepika Padukone starrer English language quirky drama to try its luck at Box Office. The movie has managed to create a place for itself amongst the niche audience but did not create a stir amongst the masses. As per Girish Johar, Film Business Expert “In the first opening weekend, <keyword id="1667771" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Finding-Fanny">Finding Fanny</keyword> has collected Rs 16.75 crore (both versions) approximately at the Indian box office”. 
 
Apart from Deepika Padukone, there were also other big names such as Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia. 
 This week, Vikram Bhatt’s movie <keyword id="1700318" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Creature-3D">Creature 3D</keyword>, too, was released. The movie stars Bipasha Basu along with Pakistani actor Imran Abbas Naqvi. This is Naqvi’s first movie in Bollywood. As per Johar, Creature 3D managed to rake in Rs 10.5 crores approximately in its first weekend at the BO. 
 On the other hand, <keyword id="47387" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Mary-Kom">Mary Kom</keyword> continues to grow strong. The movie has so far managed to gather Rs 46 Crores at the box office. Considering that neither Finding Fanny nor Creature 3D managed to excite the Indian viewers, there is a good possibility that Mary Kom will continue to hold its ground in this week too. 
 While Bollywood movies did not manage to strike Gold at box office this week, Ravi Teja starrer latest Telugu film <keyword id="44011" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="power">Power</keyword> got to a good start. In the first weekend collection, the movie has managed to collect nearly Rs 16.04 crores. 
 
The next week is another big one for Bollywood as Daawet-e-Ishk and Khoobsurat clash at the box office. Let us see which amongst the two walks away with the cake.
