Bollywood Baatein: Newsmakers who made headlines in 2021


Pandemic or not, 2021 showed our entertainers zipping off for exotic holidays every three months in their best ‘airport looks’. In one way or another our stars insisted on remaining in the news. Moving away from the social-media butterflies here are the entertainers who made real unfixed headlines:

1. Tovino Thomas: There are heroes. And then there are super-heroes. And beyond them there are the Malayalam heroes. Kerala has a tradition of great actors, from Mammootty and Mohanlal to Prithviraj and Fahadh Faasil. Now there is another generation of great Malayalam actors ready to spawn the marquee. Tovino Thomas gave impressive performances in Guppy, Oru Mexican Aparatha, Godha, and Mayanadi. Tovino’s rise in 2021 snowballs from his antiheroic stunts in Kala to his super-heroic hijinks in Minnal Mural. To him goes the credit for being the first successful pan-India Indian superhero on screen. His popularity now cuts across the borders. He is the most interesting new talent seen in 2021.

2. Aryan Khan: Unlike many self(ie) made stars of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan’s son made news in 2021 for no fault of his. Without trying Aryan became the most talked-about Khan of the year in the entertainment industry, when on October 2 he was arrested for possession/consumption (or whatever) of drugs.

During the month that he spent behind bars Aaryan became the poster-boy of privileged persecution. No one knows why he was arrested, or denied bail repeatedly. The Kafkaesque twist to the tale of persecution and imprisonment made Aryan the most sensational wannabe star of Bollywood. The boy has received offers from Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala and Ashutosh Gowariker.
