Priyanka Chopra, Varanasi and the question of a Telugu debut; was the Ram Charan starrer Thoofan forgotten?

-
The Varanasi team’s widely circulated interview with Screen Rant features a rather awkward moment. When the interviewer asks Priyanka Chopra about her Telugu debut in Varanasi, the actor says she cannot remember when she last did a Telugu film. Mahesh Babu quickly steps in to add, “This is her first Telugu film.” But that is not entirely accurate. Priyanka Chopra had, in fact, featured in the Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic Zanjeer in 2013. Titled Thoofan, the Ram Charan starrer had Priyanka playing his love interest in what was admittedly a small role. At the time, Chopra had expressed considerable gratitude to the makers of Thoofan, as opportunities in Bollywood were scarce for her then. A senior member of the Thoofan team views her current statement as a case of selective amnesia. “When we signed her for Thoofan, nobody in the Hindi film industry was willing to sign her. We ourselves felt the role was not substantial enough for a future global star like her. But s...

While Sailing In Italy, Channing Tatum And Zoe Kravitz Engage In PDA

-
On Thursday, Channing Tatum and his girlfriend Zoe Kravitz were photographed boating off the coast of Positano, Italy, piling on the PDA. Kravitz donned an orange bandeau bikini, and Tatum was decked out in all-black swimwear and a blue life jacket as they shared kisses. Tatum appeared to perform a backflip off the yacht in some pictures as the couple stepped off the boat to go swimming in, in addition to sharing private kisses all day long. During the entertaining afternoon, the pair was also spotted jet skiing and falling off the boat deck into the water. The two have been seeing each other since last summer, and they are frequently seen out and about together, going on lunch dates in Brooklyn or taking walks around Central Park in Manhattan. Channing and Kravitz's representatives did not respond to Page Six's request for comment right away. In March, Page Six was informed by sources familiar to the actress that their affair was "becoming serious." The source stated that "things are going fantastic with Channing, and she is really happy." He has a solid track record as a father, and she is in a good place professionally. According to the source, Kravitz, whose parents are the actor Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, has admitted to others that she "wouldn't mind having one kid" with the former. In a recent interview, Kravitz, 33, discussed her next film, "Pussy Island," in which her boyfriend plays the lead role. She claimed that without their work on the movie, they might not have become romantically involved. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Kravitz said of the casting and directing of Tatum, 42, in the movie, "When you make things with people, it's a very sacred space, and when you're compatible with somebody creatively, it often opens up other channels, because you're kind of able to share all of yourself."

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...
