Subhash K Jha takes a look back at 10 Years of Dharam Sankat Mein in another terrific installment of This Day That Year.

After the furor created over Rajkumar Hirani’s take on religion in his film Pk, it was decided by the Central Board Of Film Certification (Cbfc) that all films dealing with the sensitive issue of religion would be certified only after all misgivings are cleared. Keeping in view the sensitivity of the religious satire Dharam Sankat Mein, the Censor Board invited a Muslim and a Hindu religious expert as jury members to avoid any confusion or controversy over the content.

Dharam Sankat Mein is the official remake of the 2010 British comedy The Infidel directed by Josh Appignanesi. In the film, Omid Djalili starred as a British Muslim who discovers he was born of Jewish parentage. The role is played by Paresh Rawal in the remake.

In a candid chat with seasoned actor Anupam Kher, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about a more personal aspect of himself that not many get to witness. While the ‘King of Bollywood’ is celebrated for his charisma, humor, and commanding presence on screen, he also has a sensitive side that lies beneath the surface of his fame.

During their discussion, Anupam Kher inquired whether Shah Rukh is easily hurt and what affects him the most. Shah Rukh was honest, expressing that disrespect really stings for him, especially since he has never insulted anyone throughout his life. He emphasized that he approaches everyone with respect and humility.

What Did Aamir Khan’s Assistant Tell Rajkumar Hirani After Watching 3 Idiots? ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )

The scene set in an impoverished household was passed off as comedic relief, which a few found to be demeaning. The criticism was brought to Hirani’s attention very personally when one of Aamir Khan’s assistants, a young man named Sachin, confronted him after watching the film.

Sooraj Barjatya believes the audience likes both Prem and Animal? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Sooraj Barjatya has long been a flag-bearer of wholesome, family-oriented cinema. His signature style, filled with traditions, and moral values, has shaped the careers of many actors – none more so than Salman Khan, who immortalized the character of Prem in films like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun!, and Hum Saath Saath Hain. However, cinema has evolved dramatically since then.

Audiences have embraced darker, intense narratives, with Animal, Ranbir Kapoor’s latest blockbuster, being a prime example. Though Animal is also about family, its portrayal of love, violence, and revenge is drastically different from Barjatya’s vision of familial relationships. Given the current preference for gritty storytelling, many believe that Prem’s era is over. But does Sooraj Barjatya agree?

Kaushal, known for his commitment to roles, portrays the fearless Maratha warrior, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Akshaye Khanna, celebrated for his nuanced performances, steps into the role of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Given the historical enmity between these two legendary figures, the actors could not bring themselves to partake in any off-screen interactions.

I am the last person to judge an actor based on the other characters they have played on screen. Aashiqui was not even the story anymore… I don’t know the source of these stories which came out.”
