Dosto, dosto, dosto! Gather βround because Khabree Kiran has some fresh masala from the glitzy world of Bollywood. Last night, the OTTPlay Awards 2025 lit up Mumbai, and guess who shone the brightest? None other than our beloved storyteller, Imtiaz Ali! π¬
So, the awards ceremony was a star filled affair celebrating the pioneers of OTT, with the spotlight on the ever-dapper Imtiaz Ali. This talented director snagged the Best Director award for his Netflix masterpiece, Amar Singh Chamkila, where Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra delivered performances so fiery, they could give the sun a complex. π
But wait, hold your horses! While the night was all about Chamkila, the air was thick with nostalgia as Imtiaz took the audience on a detour down memory lane with a nod to his cult classic, Rockstar. Ranbir Kapoor fans, are you listening? πΈ
To spice things up, Imtiaz was handed the award by none other than his dost and lyrical genius, Irshad Kamil. With a playful grin, Imtiaz quipped, βJo bhi main, kehna chahoon, barbaad kare, Irshad mere," giving a cheeky twist to a famous Rockstar lyric. Oh, the bromance was real, folks! π«
As the crowd cheered, Imtiaz didnβt let Chamkila take a backseat. He shared how this project brought him closer to the heartbeats of India, making him feel connected to the desi junta. "Ultimately, the glory belongs to Amar Singh Chamkila," he said, with a humility thatβs as rare in Bollywood as a traffic-free day in Mumbai! π
Kiranβs Gyan: In the dazzling darbar of Bollywood, itβs all about hitting the right notes. Whether itβs a trip down nostalgia lane or a fresh journey into the heart of India, Imtiaz proves that the true stars are those who can juggle both the past and the presentβjust like a pro Bollywood hero dodging flying cars in a climax scene! πβ¨
