-
Actor Ali Fazal is set to make his South Indian cinema debut in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming film Thug Life. Starring Kamal Haasan in the lead, the film brings together a cast of actors from both Hindi and South Indian industries. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 5 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Marking a pivotal new chapter in his versatile career, Ali Fazal revealed that it didn’t take him more than a second to say yes to the project. “There are some calls you get in your life that you know instantly are meant to change the course of your journey — this was one of them,” said Ali. “When you hear the name Mani Ratnam, you don’t just think of cinema — you think of legacy, you think of storytelling that’s transcendent, timeless, and deeply rooted in human emotion. I didn’t have to think for a moment before saying yes to Thug Life. A Mani Ratnam film isn’t something you get offered every day, and certainly not alongside someone as iconic as Kamal Haasan. The...

Kanye West Has Retained Yet Another Legal Counsel In His Ongoing Divorce Battle With Kim Kardashian

-
Robert Stephan Cohen, who once served as an attorney for Melinda Gates, has been retained by Kanye West as his divorce attorney. Cohen is a seasoned legal professional with vast experience defending billionaires in divorce proceedings. On Wednesday, a representative for the senior partner at Cohen Clair Lans Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP revealed to Page Six that West had just recruited him as counsel for the rapper's divorce proceedings from Kim Kardashian. TMZ stated that West, 45, has retained attorney Nicholas A. Salick in California, where the case is being tried, even though Cohen is headquartered in New York. Cohen, 83 years old, discussed his procedure for handling celebrity divorces in a profile published in 2021 Insider. According to Cohen, this procedure includes pulling financial statements, reviewing the details of his client's assets, and conducting a 90-minute initial interview about the psychology of how to deal with the divorce. About the work that he performs for a living, the attorney remarked, "There's the awful aspect, the disintegration of a marriage." But, on the other hand, we can launch people's careers and offer them a fresh start in life thanks to this. Chris Rock, who retained Cohen to represent him in his divorce from Malaak Compton-Rock, his wife of 20 years, told the site that his lawyer's calming presence helped him get through a challenging moment in his life when he was going through his divorce. According to the comedian, age 57, divorce attorneys are similar to doctors in a strange sense. They need to have an approachable demeanor with patients. And on top of that, Bob has a very calming demeanor. It gets you through and lets you see the bigger picture. He elucidates the facts and circumstances of the scenario. Cohen was involved in one of his most high-profile cases when he assisted Gates, 58, in settling her divorce from Bill Gates for an estimated amount of approximately $76 billion. Cohen is West's fifth attorney in this divorce case, as the billionaire entertainer has gone through a revolving door of lawyers to defend him over the last year and a half. Cohen is West's counsel in this case.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
