Manasvi Mamgai's Hollywood production Captivated starring Al Pacino commences with blessings of Pope Leo XIV

In a rare and historic meeting at Vatican City, Hollywood legend Al Pacino and producer Manasvi Mamgai were officially received by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, marking a spiritual and symbolic beginning for the upcoming film Captivated. The project, backed by 32RED Entertainment, has commenced filming in Rome. This meeting holds several firsts — Al Pacino, known globally for The Godfather and other iconic roles, became the first film star to be formally received by the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV. It also marked the first time Pacino met with a Pope. For Manasvi Mamgai, co-founder of 32RED Entertainment, the moment was equally significant as one of the few Indian-origin producers to receive such an audience. Mamgai reflected on the moment, saying, “Meeting His Holiness, the Pope, was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Brad Pitt spent a year scrutinizing for buried treasures in his French estate

In a new interview with GQ magazine, Brad Pitt was candid about his struggles with bad habits and the realization that sometimes people need to experience a sense of frustration in life. In addition, the actor spoke about the search for buried treasures in the thousand-acre estate in Provence, which he bought with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie in 2008. However, he was unnerved by the news that somewhere on the territory of the possessions buried gold worth millions of dollars, dating back to the times of the Crusades. The Oscar winner even bought radar equipment and began scouring the site for treasure. "I became obsessed. During the year, I only thought about it; I was simply delighted with all this. Maybe it has something to do with the place where I grew up because, in the Ozarks, there were always stories about hidden caches of gold," Brad said. However, all this was complete nonsense, and all the actions of the treasure hunt did not turn into anything. It turned out that the man who told him about the gold was just trying to talk Pitt into investing in a radar company. Brad admitted that it ended up being "pretty stupid. " "Only the search was exciting," the actor shared. Recall that Pitt and Jolie got married in this very estate in 2014. It was the French estate they bought for $67 million that became the stumbling block in settling their divorce. In 2021, Jolie sold her 50% ownership of Château Miraval. Four months later, Pitt sued Jolie, Accusing her of illegally and inconsistently selling her stake to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler. So far, the proceedings of the ex-spouses have not ended in anything, but Brad definitely associates a lot of memories with this place.
