She added, "But now they will call India intolerant, Hindi films need to understand the pulse of audiences it's not about being a Hindu or Muslim".## The "Queen" actress also rightfully said that no one can make a film flop if it is a good film. She gave the example of Khan's "PK", which became a massive hit despite lending in a hot water over hurting religious sentiments. ## "Even after Aamir Khan Ji made Hinduphobic 'PK' or called India intolerant he gave biggest hits of his life please stop making it about religion or ideology, it's takes away from their bad acting and bad films", she said.## Directed by Advait Chandan, "Laal Singh Chaddha" stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh alongside Aamir Khan. The film is the official Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks' iconic movie "Forrest Gump".

Lord Ram's Character Suits Prabhas Because of Purity In His Eyes, Says Kriti Sanon

Mumbai, August 1 - Actress Kriti Sanon, who is fast becoming one of the biggest stars in Bollywood, is awaiting the release of probably the biggest film of her career so far, Adipurush, which is directed by Om Raut. Kriti is playing the role of Janaki/Sita in the film which is an adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayan. Prabhas is playing the title role of Lord Rama. ## This is the first time when Kriti is sharing screen space with Prabhas and she is completely loving this opportunity. The "Mimi" actress has showered great admiration for Prabhas, who is arguably one of the biggest stars in the country.## During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kriti was asked to tell some unique things about Prabhas and if she would love to work with him again. The talented actress said that she had a great time working with Prabhas in "Adipurush" and that she would love to work with him again when the opportunity will arrive. ## Kriti went on to say that "Prabhas has some weird purity in his eyes. There is so little he does with his eyes when cameras are very close to him, and you can feel everything that he is feeling. He is one of those people whose eyes are really really expressive, and very deep, and they are something very pure. This is another reason I feel he really suits the part (playing Lord Rama) because he has that sense of niceness and purity in his eyes". ## "Adipurush" is produced by T-Series and Retrophiles. Apart from Prabhas and Kriti, the movie also stars Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh/Raavan, and Sunny Singh, among others in key roles. It is scheduled to release on January 12, 2023, in multiple languages.## Stay tuned...
