Sonam Kapoor was offered just Rs 11 for her role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Rakeysh had directed Delhi-6 (2009) for which he had signed Sonam Kapoor as the film’s leading actress. Both enjoyed working with each other a lot and the filmmaker decided to get her on board for his next, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), as well. However, she had a brief appearance in the film as the fictional muse of Milkha Singh, played by Farhan Akhtar.
Rakeysh wrote in the book that “Sonam Kapoor benevolently accepted to play a guest appearance for a princely sum of Rs. 11 only for her brief portrayal of Biro.” Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra also added that she lit up the screen every time she appeared in the film. Sonam also has fond memories of the film and has said that “I am the tadka in the film”.
Leading actresses nowadays often don’t take up such parts and hence, Rakeysh was all praise for the actress. He wrote, “Sonam understood that the film was not a love story – it was about a Partition survivor’s tryst with his horrific childhood, and that Isri Kaur, the sister, was his only connection to a past that he was reluctant to both own and discard.”
Sonam Kapoor’s presence helped the film from the marketing aspect. The two songs ‘Mera Yaar’ and ‘O Rangrez’ were used to promote the film and give an idea that the conventional romantic angle in the film is very much there.

Family Star review
The Hindustan Times’ review of the movie Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram Petla, suggests that the film struggles to make a mark or entertain, with issues reminiscent of Geetha Govindam (2018). The film tests patience and fails to maintain interest as it progresses.
The review criticizes the plot of Family Star, stating that it is thin and defies logic, making it difficult to enjoy. It also suggests that the film’s portrayal of middle-class life is caricaturish, as if it was written by someone unfamiliar with the realities of such a life.
