Pankaj Tripathi plays the role of an Investigating Officer, tasked with solving this intricate murder mystery, as per a release from the film's PR team.The film marks the first collaboration of Tripathi and Adajania.Sharing his experience of working with Pankaj TripathiHomi Adajania said in a statement from the film's PR team, "Directing such an intuitive actor was a joy, but getting to know someone like Pankaj is what I cherish. On Murder Mubarak we'd sit after wrapping the shoot and regale each other with so many stories of the various journeys we've experienced and I realised that however different we are, we are so similar at the core. I also realised that there's an inherent goodness which we look for in people, and with Pankaj the positivity and sensitivity is what he's about! I'm really grateful we had this experience and I know that I've come out of it a better person for it."'Murder Mubarak' is based on Anuja Chauhan's novel 'Club You To Death'.

Bobby', Bollywood ubiquitous villain Prem Chopra said he could 'do anything' for him.While the legendary actor only had a brief appearance in the film, which starred debtants Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia as the lead pair, Chopra wowed audiences with his evergreen one-liner "Prem Naam Hai Mera...Prem Chopra (The name is Prem...Prem Chopra)".In an exclusive interview with ANI, one of Indian cinema's most loved villains said, "Raj Kapoor, as we all know, was a genius. He approached me for a role in this film (Bobby). By then, I was already an established actor and had already received many awards. However, when he offered me a role in the film, I said 'okay'. I remember telling him, 'I will work with you. Who wouldn't?' He then told me that the role he had in mind for me was a special appearance. I told him, 'I can do anything for you, but I have a problem. I have done many big films with Dilip Sahab and other greats. I even shared equal screen space with them'. To this, he said, 'I need you for this role'. I said 'Okay'.""I remember asking Raj Sahab about my dialogues and scenes. All he said was 'Batayenge batayenge' (I will share the details in time). Later, he told me that I have just one dialogue in the film, which is: 'Prem, Prem naam hai meraPrem Chopra'. At first, I couldn't believe his words. Then I caught Premnath (actor) sitting close by I asked him if Raj Kapoor Saheb said I have just one dialogue in the film and, if so, would that be fitting. To this, he said, 'If this film becomes a hit, you will be the talk of the town'," Chopra said.He said it was that single dialoague that most of his fans still remember him by."That one line became such a rage that even when we did shows overseas, the audience would request me to say it on stage. Even now, wherever I go, people, even youngsters, start chanting 'Prem naam hai mera...Prem Chopra'," he added.'Bobby' also starred yesteryear actors Prem Nath as Jack Braganza and Pran as Ram Nath.The movie became a blockbuster and the second-highest-grosser in the seventies at the Indian box office.
Apart from Shahid and Kriti, the film also starred veteran actors Dharmendra and Dimple Kapadia.Talking to ANI, Director Amit Joshi shared his experience of working with the 'Sholay' actor in his debut directorial film.He said, "Dharam ji is a legend. I learnt a lot from him, he is so dedicated. He always used to come on the set 1 hour early. He is such a great artist, he gave so much respect to the first time director and also asked me how to do the scenes and he himself even improvised on the set."Sharing his experience of working with Dimple Kapadia, Amit told ANI, "She is very prepared, she asked me about the scenes a day before and we used to go through everything so that when we reach the set, both of us are completely ready.""With the blessings of legends like them a film performs good and the environment on the sets remains positive. Their presence itself makes that moment very memorable. I had a wonderful experience and I learned a lot," he added.As per Maddock Films, in 15 days, the film has minted Rs 124.63 crore Worldwide Gross.On Sunday, Amit also dropped a special BTS video from the sets of 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' that featured some fun filled moments of Dharmendra along with the other cast of the film.Taking to X, Amit wrote, "This is how Dharam ji, our very own lucky charm, did all the jaadu tona with his acting brilliance on the sets of TBMAUJ and showered everyone with love!"This is how Dharam ji, our very own lucky charm, did all the jaadu tona with his acting brilliance on the sets of TBMAUJ and showered everyone with love!

The way he meets you, he places hand on your head. If someday he feels good in his costume, then he takes his pictures and send it to his sons (Bobby and Sunny Deol) and then his sons send him voice notes telling 'Papa you're looking good'. So, I just feel that he is a family man. He's got so much warmth and so much zest for life. Like when he is acting, he is really sharp, and he is just superb. He makes us laugh so much and his improvisation is always bang on! Sometimes we forget our lines, and we are like, "Oh no, we can't make him do another take." He is lovely, and it's a pleasure to work with him."She also recalled her experience working with Dimple Kapadia."Dimple ma'am is the coolest. Her personality, I remember the first time I met her at the airport, and just the way she was carrying herself--unke chashme, kuch paanch colors the unke chashme mein (There were like five different colours in her spectacles). Just the aura she brings everywhere, even on the screen. She is a very sure actor, and just anything she says is so convincing. You learn a lot when you are working with actors like them," she added.'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' is produced by Maddock Films.

Dimple Kapadia who made her acting debut as a teenager in the 1973's romantic movie 'Bobby' starring Rishi Kapoor, has given in a number of successful films during her career, including Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller 'Tenet'.She has garnered plaudits for her outstanding performance in the latest web show, 'Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo'.The veteran actress was born on June 8, 1957, in Mumbai to a Gujarati businessman Chunibhai Kapadia and his wife Bitti, known as 'Betty'. She acted in a number of films and some of her notable works include 'Saagar', 'Ram Lakhan', and 'Batwara', 'Rudaali', among others. As she is all set to celebrate her birthday on June 8, let's look at some of her memorable performances.Bobby (1973)Who can forget the young, charming and innocent Dimple as Bobby in her debut project opposite Rishi Kapoor in Raj Kapoor's 'Bobby'. Dimple gained a great deal of popularity and attention because of her role. The love story between Raj and Bobby, who come from different social backgrounds, is the movie's central theme. It became a major hit. People loved the chemistry between Dimple and Rishi.Saagar (1985)Rishi Kapoor, Kamal Haasan and Dimple Kapadia's love triangle was another successful film of her career. Dimple as Mona D'Silva, who runs a small restaurant, got an appreciation for her role. The movie was also remembered for its music.Rudaali (1993)Another milestone film of the seasoned actress. She excelled in portraying Shanichari, a professional weeper from rural Rajasthan who had lost touch with her own feelings. The artistic drama was among India's official entries for Best Foreign Language Film at the 66th Academy Awards. She won the prestigious National Award and Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for one of Kapadia's best performances of her career.Krantiveer (1994)In this incredibly successful movie, the actress makes a great impact as a journalist who convinces a drunken, jobless villager to stand up for justice. She significantly weighed the film and was honoured with a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress nomination. The second portion of her acting career would be substantially shaped by her ability to play great supporting roles.Dil Chahta HaiDimple Kapadia essayed the role of Tara Jaiswal in the movie that centred on friendship and love. The cross-generational love storyline was a major high point, with Kapadia giving a compelling performance as a woman who unexpectedly bonds with a much younger man.A Thursday (2022)'A Thursday', a movie starring Yami Gautam, Neha Dhupia, Dimple Kapadia, and Atul Kulkarni, was released in 2022. Dimple Kapadia, who plays Prime Minister Maya Rajguru, garnered a lot of positive feedback for her outstanding performance.The actress's first web series, 'Tandav' (2021), had a striking impact. Her portrayal of a vengeful politician aiming to discredit a rival in the role showcased just how talented an actor she is. She also proved what a remarkable actor she is with her portrayal of a strong-headed matriarch in the recently released series 'Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo'. Indeed, she is unstoppable and we are keen to see some of her more excellent performances.
Elaborating on her brutal action sequences and dissecting her character, Dimple said, "Shows like Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo are rare, the perfect chemistry of characters, narratives and a mould-breaking vision. Homi has that knack to him where he can see stories in every little thing and cement its connection with the society. So, whenever I get a whiff that Homi is working on a project, I know I have to be a part of it, no choices there. He conceptualized Savitri to be a woman pushed to her limits and eventually learning to become fearless.She added, "You see, her journey from Savitri to Rani Ba is what appealed to me and I think only Homi could've seen it that way. When we dissected her character, he told me I have to be prepared for badass action sequences. I have done action scenes before but I was nervous as to how I was going to pull this off. At this stage in life, I do think twice before extending myself physically but Rani Ba's adrenaline got to me and we did it. We all have done our own stunts, while they were kept rooted and raw, we pushed our limits three fold to maintain that stance. Now that the show is out there receiving constant love and appreciation, it all seems worth a while."Helmed by Homi Adajania, Saas, 'Bahu Aur Flamingo' is a crime drama that revolves around the Rani Cooperative (a cocaine-making factory that pretends to make handicrafts). The series also stars Radhika Madan, Naseerudin Shah, Ashish Verma and Angira Dhar.
