One of India's biggest stars is banking on a remake of Hollywood feelgood hit "Forrest Gump" to revive the fortunes of Hindi-language Bollywood, after a string of weak box-office showings.

Aamir Khan's "Laal Singh Chaddha," an adaptation of the 1994 U.S. classic starring Tom Hanks, hits cinemas today ahead of India's 75th independence celebrations.

The director behind a biting look at India's entertainment industry says the backroom dealings and bold personalities of Bollywood have proven a rich target for satire.

Shaad Ali's latest venture is a local adaptation of a runaway hit Netflix series that follows four hapless French talent agents as they wrangle and coddle their celebrity clients.

The dancers stopped strutting on Bollywood film sets this year as the Indian film industry struggled to find any spring in its step during a disastrous 2020.

The annus horribilis for the world's most prolific movie industry began with the heartbreaking deaths in April within 36 hours of luminaries Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor.

Aamir Khan, the world-renowned movie star from India, gathered with his fans in southeastern Turkey on Aug. 12.

Khan stopped shooting his movie Laal Singh Chaddha, an adaption of the 1994 classic Forrest Gump due to the novel coronavirus outbreak in India, and started looking for alternative locations in Turkey to shoot his movie.

Indian actor Irrfan Khan, known for his performances in both Bollywood and Hollywood, passed away on April 29. He was 53.

"It is saddening that this day we have to bring forward the news of him passing away," a statement by his publicist read.

Indian musical 'Beyond Bollywood' will be at Zorlu PSM between Nov 26 and Dec 1. The show, realized by writer, director and dance director Rajeew Goswami, features the colorful world of India never seen before with more than 1,000 costumes.

The Dora Stratou Theater, popular for its traditional Greek dance productions, will be hosting the 7th Bollywood and Multicultural Dance Festival from July 5 to 7.
