The alleged rift between brothers, filmmaker Boney Kapoor and actor Anil Kapoor, has been creating headlines lately. It started when the producer of No Entry franchise, Boney, revealed that Anil is no longer talking to him. The reason? No Entry 2 has been confirmed with a fresh cast-Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Arjun Kapoor.

Meanwhile, filmmaker Anees Bazmee, who is helming the sequel, is surprised to hear about the soured relations between the Kapoor brothers. "This is news to me. Thodi bahut naraazgi hogi,he shares, adding, "I haven't been able to speak to Boney ji as I was busy shooting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3." Bazmee, who has also worked with Anil in many film such as Pagalpanti (2019) feels: "No Entry (2005) was an important film. Agar uske sequel mein nahin hain toh naturally aadmi ko hurt hoga," reasons the 61-year-old, adding. "Boney ji must have had his reasons, too.”
However, Bazmee is optimistic about their reconciliation. "They are brothers... Tomorrow they will meet and hug each other. They both love each other," he ends.

He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
