We all know what an art director does, right? They make the pictures - and in a society that is as visually obsessed as ours is, that’s clearly a pretty important job. And we all know what copywriters do too, right? They come up with the words that no one reads except the lawyers and the brand mana

Mumbai, Jan 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who is known for ‘Aligarh’, ‘Shahid’, ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’, has shared his best moments of 2024 as he welcomed the New Year.
On Wednesday took to his Instagram, and shared a series of pictures featuring Pratik Gandhi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, some on set moments from his upcoming directorial ‘Gandhi’ and the critical acclaim to his recent projects.
He wrote in the caption, “Random snapshots from the year gone by. Gratitude to all those who helped make this such a fulfilling year with all its contradictions, ups and downs. Much to absorb, much to learn, much to forgive, much to forget, much to hope, much to regret, much to fight for, much to love for, not much to complain about. Here’s to life in 2025. To newer frontiers, newer goals, newer milestones, newer contradictions, newer achievements, newer mistakes”.
Earlier, the filmmaker engaged in a war of words with veteran actor Anupam Kher after the latter made a scathing attack on him.
Hansal seconded an opinion of a journalist when the latter said that the biopic ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ starring Anupam Kher is one of the worst movies in Hindi cinema. This left Anupam angry as he revealed that Hansal’s agreement to the journalist’s opinion reeks of hypocrisy as he was the one who served as the creative director on the biopic.
He wrote, “The HYPOCRITE in this thread is NOT @virsanghvi . He has the freedom to not like a film. But @mehtahansal was the #CreativeDirector of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister. Who was present at the entire shoot of the film in England! Giving his creative inputs and must have taken the fee also for it. So for him to say 100% to #VirSanghvi’s comment is so messed up and full of double standards”.
“Not that I agree with Mr. Sanghvi but we are all capable of doing bad or indifferent work. But we should OWN it. Not like #HansalMehta trying to earn some brownies from certain section of people. Common Hansal. Grow up! I still have all our videos and pics of the shoot together”, he added.
Hansal responded to the same, as he wrote, “Of course I own my mistakes Mr Kher. And I can admit that I made a mistake. Can’t I sir? I did my job as professionally as I was allowed to. Can you deny that? But it doesn’t mean I have to keep defending the film or that it makes me lose objectivity about my error of judgement. About brownie points and hypocrisy I respectfully submit that you seem to be evaluating people by the same yardstick you evaluate yourself”.

Diljit-AP Dhillon

Reacting to this, AP Dhillion claimed that he had been blocked by Diljit during his concert. This statement left the fans dumbstruck.
Anupam Kher-Hansal Mehta
Aside from being one of the most celebrated actors Anupam Kher is also known for speaking his mind. He recently got into a tiff with acclaimed director Hansal Mehta and the reason is the 2019 biopic, The Accidental Prime Minister. The Aligarh maker was seen supporting journalist Vir Sanghvi’s tweet in which he called The Accidental Prime Minister one of the worst Hindi movies.
Reacting to the claim, the actor took to X and wrote, "The HYPOCRITE in this thread is NOT @virsanghvi. He has the freedom to not like a film. But @mehtahansal was the #CreativeDirector of #TheAccidentalPrimeMinister. Who was present at the entire shoot of the film in England! Giving his creative inputs and must have taken the fee also for it. So for him to say 100% to #VirSanghvi’s comment is so messed up and full of double standards!

Common Hansal!! Grow up! I still have all our videos and pics of the shoot together!".
Prince Narula-Yuvika Choudhary
Bigg Boss 9 couple Prince Narula and Yuvika Choudhary have recently been creating headlines for all the wrong reasons. If the speculations are to be believed the beloved couple is headed for a split after the birth of their daughter Ekleen. The reality star raised a lot of eyebrows when he stated in one of his vlogs that Yuvika failed to inform him regarding the delivery date of their firstborn. Since then these two have been at loggerheads, putting allegations on one another. Most recently, Yuvika took to her Instagram story and shared a cryptic post that read, "If you get something, it is soil; if you lose something, it is gold".
Divya Khosla-Karan Johar
Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar are one of the most celebrated actor-director duo in Bollywood and are often seen coming in each other's support. Alia's last release was Jigra, produced by KJo. Divya Khosla rubbed a few feathers when she accused Alia of buying her film tickets to manipulate box office numbers, leading to a massive war of words. However, Divya did not stop there and further claimed that Jigra is a copy of her film Savi. Karan Johar shared a few cryptic posts following Divya's allegations.
Arshad Warsi-Prabhas
While Prabhas is one of the biggest names in the South, Arshad Warsi has delivered some noteworthy performances in Bollywood. These two actors ignited a social media debate among the fans after Warsi stated that the Baahubali star looked like a jokar. Talking about Kalki 2898 AD, he was quoted saying during an interview, "Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there." Later on, many South stars such as Nani and Sudheer Babu came to Prabhas' defense. Addressing a press conference, Nani said, “The person that you’re referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter.
Badshah and Honey Singh
Rappers Honey Singh and Badshah have been in a long-standing feud for almost a decade now. While Honey Singh has kept his silence on the matter for a long time, he recently called out Badshah for mocking his illness stating “He is one of those who spits and then licks it back; just watch, he’ll flip again. I don’t consider people like that to be anything.” For the unversed, Honey Singh revealed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder which led to his disappearance from the music industry.
Nayanthara-Dhanush
Last but not least, two of the biggest names from the South Nayanthara and Dhanush were seen disputing over a three-second clip from their 2015 drama Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Dhanush served a 10 crore legal notice to Nayanthara after she included the clip in her Netflix documentary, alleging unauthorized use.
