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. According to Bhagnani, stepping away from acting was a conscious decision as he worked behind the scenes and became more involved in producing films.

Since Criticizing Jada Pinkett Smith’s Remarks On The Oscars Slap, Vivica A, Fox Has Not Spoken To Her

Will Smith "deserves a second chance," according to Vivica A. Fox, who hasn't spoken to Jada Pinkett Smith since criticizing her comments about his punching Chris Rock at the Oscars. Fox responded to Jada's Red Table Talk comments about moving past the March 27 incident while she was on The Wendy Williams Show in June with a sobbing outburst. Fox, who starred alongside Will in Independence Day in 1996 and alongside Jada in Set It Off in the same year, expressed her feelings at the time, saying in part, "I just hoped we may have a little more responsibility and for it to not really seem self-righteous on Jada's part, and that's my emotions." Fox, 58, admitted to PEOPLE that she hasn't spoken to Jada, 50, since coming out at the Great Wolf Lodge premiere of The Great Wolf Pack: A Call to Adventure on Tuesday in Garden Grove, California. She believes that they are currently through a season of healing. "Hear me out—I adore Will Smith. He is among my favorite individuals on earth. Everyone makes errors. He is the one who most merits a second chance if anyone. I believe he has expressed regret and accepted full responsibility for his actions." Fox continues, "I just hope that we can all learn from the tragedy and realize that it must never occur again, particularly on a platform of that scale." During the Oscars, Will, 53, went on stage and hit Rock, 57, for making a comment about Jada's bald head that night since she has alopecia. Following an apology and resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Best Actor winner was also barred from the organization's functions for ten years. In a Red Table Speak episode where she addressed the issue, Jada said, "My deepest desire is that these two brilliant, competent men have the chance to heal, talk this out, and reunite.

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...
