Jackky Bhagnani returns to acting after six years with Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein': "I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z"

Jackky Bhagnani has returned to acting after a six-year gap with the Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein,' released under his music label Jjust Music. The actor-producer said the song offered him an opportunity to return to the screen with a project that was personally meaningful to him. Bhagnani described himself as a patriot and said the nature of the song played an important role in his decision to face the camera again. “I am a patriot by heart. It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said. The actor's return comes after several years of focusing primarily on film production.

In Order To Prepare For His ‘Silence’ Role, Andrew Garfield Recalls Denying Himself Food And Sex

In order to prepare for his role as a Jesuit priest from the 17th century in the 2016 movie "Silence," method actor Andrew Garfield confessed he fasted from food and sex. In the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron," Garfield claimed, "I did a number of spiritual practices every day, I made up new rituals, I was celibate for six months, and I was fasting a lot." Man, it was really cool, he said. "At that time, when I was depriving myself of sex and food, I had some pretty wild, hallucinogenic experiences." Father James Martin, a Jesuit author, served as Garfield's "friend and spiritual director" as he studied for a year. In order to prepare for his performance in the Martin Scorsese-directed historical drama, Martin, 61, assisted Garfield, 39, with his studies into Catholicism and guided the Oscar contender through a number of spiritual exercises. Garfield claimed that he and Martin used the same procedures that Konstantin Stanislavski had used over a century earlier to develop method acting. The "Amazing Spider-Man" actor praised the acting approach but said that it could occasionally go too far. He claimed on the show that "there [have] been] a lot of misconceptions about what method acting is." "People are still acting that way, and it's not just to be a jerk to everyone on set," the speaker said. Nevertheless, Garfield previously said he is taking a break from Hollywood to be "ordinary for a bit," suggesting the demanding method may have taken its toll on him. He said to Variety in April, "I'm going to rest for a short while. The "Tick, Tick... Boom!" star was recently photographed looking ripped while on vacation in Bali, so it appears that the much-needed rest is doing him good. Pictures of a buff, shirtless Garfield quickly became a sensation on social media and enraged his followers.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
