🎬 The Journey to Stardom: From Delhi Theatre to Bollywood

Born to a middle-class family, Shah Rukh Khan's early life in Delhi was marked by academic and sporting excellence. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Hansraj College but spent most of his time with Delhi's Theatre Action Group.

He made his debut on the small screen in the late 1980s with television serials like Fauji (1988) and Circus (1989), which brought him instant recognition. He moved to Mumbai in 1991 and married his childhood sweetheart, Gauri Chibber (now Gauri Khan), the same year.

Bollywood Poster Boys has a funny twist with Sunny, Bobby and Shreyas!

Film Posters Boys is a remake of Marathi movie Poshter Boyz, which was produced by Shreyas Talpade. Shreyas is now making his directorial debut in Bollywood with Posters Boys. The picture stars Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol and Shreyas himself.

But, the exciting bit about the poster is the tag line - 'Humne nasbandi karwali hai aap bhi karwalo'.

Bobby was last seen in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, that also starred his brother Sunny and father, Dharmendra. On the other side, Sunny lately returned to the big screen with Ghayal Once Again.

Previously in an interview with a famous tabloid, the actor-director Shreyas spoke about the movie, “First of all, they liked the script and subject of the movie very much. And they haven’t done anything like this before. And this is what that they got attracted to because as you can see many actors have now started experimenting with themselves and I think Sunny paji and Bobby must have also thought that this is the script where they can try something different. So they loved the script and immediately agreed to be a part of it.”

Normally, the character is created first and then the look but for Mom, it was the other way round. We tried various looks with how my character would walk and talk and his mannerisms. We used prosthetics and the entire process would take almost three hours to put on and remove. Moreover, shooting in Mumbai and Delhi during the day, when it is incredibly hot."

Mom also marks the comeback of classic actress Sridevi after 5 years. The movie also stars Akshaye Khanna, Abhimanyu Singh and Pitobash Tripathy in key roles. 

Produced by Boney Kapoor, the movie is all set to hit the theatres on June 7, 2017.

It is a very relatable, human film with lot of interesting moments."
